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 thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone 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 LORD’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived 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.
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha 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.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage 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.
When Baasha heard of it, he stopped 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 and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
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.
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your 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.
Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your 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 LORD’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will 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 angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at 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.
Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, 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.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek the LORD, but just 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.
Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first 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.
They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
