2 Tantara 16
1 Ie an-taom-pifehea’ i Asa faha-telopolo eneñ’ amby, le nionjo hiatreatre am’Iehodà t’i Baasà mpanjaka’ Israele, le namboare’e ty Ramà, hisebañe ze te hiavotse ndra himoak’ mb’amy Asa mpanjaka’ Iehodà.
In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, 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 Aa le nakare’ i Asa ty volafoty naho volamena am-pañajam-bara añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà naho añ’ anjomba’ i mpanjakay vaho nahitri’e mb’ amy Benehadade nte-Arame nimoneñe e Damesèk’ ao, ami’ty hoe:
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,
3 Eo ty fañina amako naho ama’o, manahake i tañivon-drae’o naho an-draekoy, Ingo te nañitrifako volafoty naho volamena; Mañaveloa, apitsoho ty fañina’o amy Baasà mpanjaka’ Israele, hisitaha’e amako.
There is a league between me and thee, as between my father and thy father. Behold, I have sent thee silver and gold. Go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel that he may depart from me.
4 Aa le hinao’ i Benehadade t’i Asa mpanjaka naho nirahe’e haname o rova’ Israeleo o mpifehen-dahindefo’eo; le linafa’ iareo t’Iione naho i Dane naho i Abelmaime naho ze fonga rovam-pañaja’ i Naftaly.
And Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. And they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.
5 Aa ie jinanji’ i Baasa izay, le najihe’e ty fañamboarañe i Ramà vaho nado’e i nitoloña’ey.
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Aa le nente’ i Asa t’Iehodà iaby hitaoñe o vato’ i Ramào naho o boda’e namboare’ i Baasao le namboatse i Gebà naho i Mitspà.
Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber of it, with which Baasha had built. And he built Geba and Mizpah with it.
7 Ie amy zay, nimb’ amy Asa mpanjaka’ Iehoda mb’eo t’i Kananý mpioniñe, nanao ty hoe, Kanao niatoa’o ty mpanjaka’ i Arame, le tsy niatoa’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, le nipolititse am-pità’o ty valobohòm-panjaka’ i Arame.
And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, Because thou have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on Jehovah thy God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of thy hand.
8 Tsy nivalobohòke vasiañeñe reketse sarete naho mpiningitse nivorentsañe hao o nte-Koseo naho o nte-Lobeo? Fe kanao niatoa’o t’Iehovà le nitolora’e am-pità’o.
Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceedingly many? Yet, because thou relied on Jehovah, he delivered them into thy hand.
9 Fa mihelañe mb’eo mb’eo an-tane atoy o fihaino’ Iehovào, hiboake ho maozatse amo añ’ampon-troke ama’e. Toe nanoe’o hagegeañe i rahay, hanañ’aly irehe henane zao.
For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. In this thou have done foolishly, for from henceforth thou shall have wars.
10 Niforoforo amy mpioniñey t’i Asa le nampijoñe’e am-bahorañe ao ami’ty haviñera’e amy rahay. Namorekeke ondaty ka t’i Asa henane zay.
Then Asa was angry 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 at the same time.
11 Aa ty amo fitoloña’ i Asao, ty valoha’e ampara’ ty fara’e, ingo te misokitse amo bokem-panjaka’ Iehoda naho Israeleo.
And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Ie an-taom-pifehea’e faha telopolo sive’ amby, narare am-pandia’e t’i Asa; toe nanjeke mafe i arete’ey; fe amy hasilo’ey, tsy Iehovà ty pinai’e, fa o mpanahao.
And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great, yet in his disease he did not seek for Jehovah, but to the physicians.
13 Aa le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Asa; nivilasy an-taom-pifehea’e fah’ efapolo-raik’ amby.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 Nalente’ iareo an-kibori’e hinali’e ho am-bata’e an-drova’ i Davide ao, le natsalalampa’ iareo amy fandreañe natsafeñe raha mandrifondrifoñe naho karazan’ embok’ ankafankafa nitsenèñe ami’ty hilala’ o mpanao rano mañitseoy; le nanoa’ iareo fañoroañe ra’elahy.
And they buried him in his own sepulchers, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art. And they made a very great burning for him.
