Otra Laiku 16
1 Asas trīsdesmit sestā valdīšanas gadā Baeša, Israēla ķēniņš, cēlās pret Jūdu un uztaisīja Rāmu, ka viņš nevienam neļautu ne iziet nedz ieiet pie Asas, Jūda ķēniņa.
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
2 Tad Asa ņēma sudrabu un zeltu no Tā Kunga nama un no ķēniņa nama mantām, un to sūtīja BenHadadam, Sīrijas ķēniņam, kas Damaskū dzīvoja, un lika sacīt:
So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
3 Derība ir starp mani un tevi un starp manu tēvu un tavu tēvu; redzi, es tev sūtu sudrabu un zeltu: ej un lauz savu derību ar Baešu, Israēla ķēniņu, ka tas no manis atstājās.
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
4 Un BenHadads paklausīja ķēniņam Asam un sūtīja savus kara virsniekus pret Israēla pilsētām, un tie sita Ejonu un Danu un AbelMaīmu un visas Navtaļa labības pilsētas.
And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
5 Kad nu Baeša to dzirdēja, tad viņš mitējās Rāmu uztaisīt un atstāja savu darbu.
When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work.
6 Tad ķēniņš Asa ņēma visu Jūdu, un tie nonesa akmeņus un kokus no Rāmas, ko Baeša bija taisījis, un viņš no tiem uzcēla Ģebu un Micpu.
Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
7 Un tanī laikā Hananus, tas redzētājs, nāca pie Asas, Jūda ķēniņa, un uz to sacīja: tāpēc ka tu esi paļāvies uz Sīrijas ķēniņu un neesi paļāvies uz To Kungu, savu Dievu, tādēļ Sīrijas ķēniņa karaspēks no tavas rokas izsprucis.
At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
8 Vai Moru ļaudis un Libeji nebija liels karaspēks ar ļoti daudz ratiem un jātniekiem? Taču, kad tu uz To Kungu paļāvies, tad Viņš tos devis tavā rokā.
Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.
9 Jo Tā Kunga acis skatās pa visām zemēm, ka Viņš tos stiprina, kas ar skaidru sirdi pie viņa turas. Tu še esi aplam darījis; jo no šī laika būs kari pret tevi.
For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”
10 Bet Asa apskaitās pret to redzētāju un to ielika cietumā; jo viņš par to palika ļauns pret viņu. Un Asa spaidīja kādus no tiem ļaudīm tanī laikā.
Asa was angry with the seer and became so enraged over this matter that he put the man in prison. And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people.
11 Un redzi, tie stāsti par Asu, ir tie pirmie, ir tie pēdējie, ir rakstīti Jūda un Israēla ķēniņu grāmatā.
Now the rest of the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Un savā trīsdesmit devītā valdīšanas gadā Asa palika slims ar kājām, un viņa slimība auga lielā augumā; viņš arī savā slimībā nemeklēja To Kungu, bet dziedniekus.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
13 Tā Asa aizmiga pie saviem tēviem un nomira savā četrdesmit pirmā valdīšanas gadā.
So in the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and rested with his fathers.
14 Un to apraka viņa kapā, ko viņš priekš sevis bija licis rakt Dāvida pilī, un to lika uz gultu, ko ar dārgām zālēm un visādām kvēpināmām zālēm bija pildījuši pēc zāļotāju ziņas, un par viņu dedzināja (dārgas zāles) ar lielu dedzināšanu.
And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.
