II Oihanaalii 16

1 I KA makahiki kanakolukumamaono o ke aupuni o Asa, pii mai la o Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, e ku e i ka Iuda, a kukulu iho la oia ia Rama, me ka manao, aole e puka iwaho kekahi, aole e komo iloko kekahi io Asa la ke alii o ka Iuda.

In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

2 Alaila lawe ae la o Asa i ke kala a me ke gula mai loko mai o ka waihona waiwai o ka hale o Iehova, a me ka hale o ke alii, a hoouna aku la oia io Bene-hadada la, i ke alii o Suria, i kona noho ana ma Damaseko, i aku la,

Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:

3 He berita no mawaena o'u a me oe, a mawaena o ko'u makua, a me kou makua; eia hoi, ke hoouka aku nei au ia oe i ke kala a me ke gula, e hooki oe i kau berita me Baasa ke alii o ka Iseraela, i hele ia mai o'u aku nei.

'There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.'

4 A hoolohe o Bene-hadada i ka Asa, ka ke alii, a hoouna mai la oia i na luna o na koa ona e ku e i na kulanakauhalo o ka Iseraela; a Iuku iho la lakou ia Iiona, a me Dana, a me Abelamaima, a me na kulanakauhale waiho ukana a pau o Napetali.

And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.

5 A lohe iho la o Baasa, haalele ia i kona kukulu ana ia Rama, a hooki iho la ia i kana hana.

And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.

6 Alakai ae la o Asa i ka Inda a pau, halihali mai la lakou i na pohaku o Rama, a me na laau olaila, i ka mea a Baasa i kukulu ai; a kukulu iho la oia me ia mau mea ia Geba a me Mizepa.

Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

7 Ia manawa, hele mai la o Hanani ke kaula io Asa la, i ke alii o ka Iuda, olelo mai la ia ia, No kou hilinai ana i ke alii o Suria, aole hoi i hilinai ia Iehova i kou Akua, no ia mea, e pakele ka poe koa o ke alii o Suria mai kou lima aku.

And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him: 'Because thou hast relied on the king of Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram escaped out of thy hand.

8 O ko Aitiopa a me ka Luba, aole anei he nui loa lakou me na hale kaa, a me na holohololio he lehulehu? Aka, i kou hilinai ana ia Iehova, haawi mai oia ia lakou iloko o kou lima.

Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, He delivered them into thy hand.

9 No ka mea, e holoholo ana na maka o Iehova ma ka honua a pau e hoike ana i kona mau a i ka poe i pono ia ia ko lakou naau: ua hana naaupo oe i keia mea; a ma keia hope aku e kauaia ana oe.

For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is whole toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.'

10 Alaila, huhu o Asa i ke kaula, a hoolei oia ia ia iloko o ka hale paahao; no ka mea, ua wela kona huhu ia ia no keia mea: a ia manawa hoi hookaumaha o Asa i kekahi poe kanaka.

Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.

11 Aia hoi, o na mea a Asa i hana'i, ka mua, a me ka hope, ua kakauia ia mau mea iloko o ka palapala o na'lii o ka luda a me ka Iseraela.

And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

12 A i ka makahiki kanakolukumamaiwa o kona aupuni, loaa iho la ia Asa ka mai ma kona mau wawae, a pii iluna kona mai; a i kona wa mai, aole ia i imi ia Iehova, aka, i ka poe kahuna lapaau.

And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

13 A hiamoe iho la o Asa me kona poe kupuna, a make ia i ka makahiki kanahakumamakahi o kona noho alii ana.

And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

14 A kanu lakou ia ia iloko o kona lua kahi ana i eli ai nona iho, ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida, a waiho lakou ia ia iloko o kona wahi moe, kahi i piha ai i na mea ala, a me na mea miko i hoomakaukauia ma ke akamai o na kahuna lapaau, a pupuhi aku lakou i ke ahi nona a nui loa.

And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.
