2 Seenaa 16

1 Bara mootummaa Aasaa keessa waggaa soddomii jaʼaffaatti Baʼishaan mootichi Israaʼel biyya Yihuudaatti duulee akka namni tokko iyyuu daangaa biyya Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa keessaa hin baane yookaan akka achi hin seenne gochuudhaaf jedhee Raamaa jabeessee ijaare.

And in the six and thirtieth year of his kingdom, Baasa the king of Israel came up against Juda, and built a wall about Rama, that no one might safely go out or come in of the kingdom of Asa.

2 Aasaanis meetii fi warqee mankuusa mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootii fi masaraa mootummaa isaa keessaa baasee Ben-Hadaad mooticha Sooriyaa kan Damaasqoo taaʼee bulchaa ture sanaaf ni erge.

Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s treasures, and sent to Benadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:

3 Innis, “Akkuma walii galtee kanaan dura abbaa koo fi abbaa kee gidduu ture sanaatti ammas anaa fi si gidduu walii galteen haa jiraatu. Kunoo ani meetii fi warqee siif ergeera. Akka inni narraa deebiʼuuf dhaqiitii walii galtee Baʼishaan mooticha Israaʼel wajjin qabdu sana diigi” jedheen.

There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father, wherefore I have sent thee silver and gold, that thou mayst break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, and make him depart from me.

4 Ben-Hadaadis yaada Aasaa mootichaa fudhatee ajajjuuwwan loltoota isaa magaalaawwan Israaʼelitti duulchise. Isaanis magaalaawwan Iiyoon, Daan, Abeel Maayimii fi magaalaawwan mankuusa Niftaalem hunda rukutan.

And then Benadad heard this, he sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel: and they took Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Nephtali.

5 Baʼishaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Raamaa ijaaruu dhiisee hojii ofii isaa dhaabe.

And when Baasa heard of it, he left off the building of Rama, and interrupted his work.

6 Aasaan Mootichis namoota Yihuudaa hunda ni fide; isaanis dhagaawwanii fi muka Baʼishaan ittiin hojjechaa ture Raamaadhaa fudhatanii deeman. Aasaanis Gebaa fi Miisphaa ittiin ijaarrate.

Then king Asa took all Juda, and they carried away from Rama the stones, and the timber that Baasa had prepared for the building: and he built with them Gabaa, and Maspha.

7 Yeroo sanattis Hanaaniin ilaalaan sun Aasaa mooticha Yihuudaa bira dhufee akkana jedheen; “Waan ati Waaqayyo Waaqa kee dhiiftee mootii Sooriyaa amanatteef loltoonni Sooriyaa si harkaa baʼaniiru.

At that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa king of Juda, and said to him: Because thou hast had confidence in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord thy God, therefore hath the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.

8 Namoonni Itoophiyaa fi Liibiyaa gaariiwwanii fi abbootii fardaa kanneen akka malee baayʼee qaban sun loltoota jajjaboo hin turree? Taʼus waan ati Waaqayyoon abdatteef inni dabarsee harka keetti isaan siif kenne.

Were not the Ethiopians, and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceeding great multitude: yet because thou trustedst in the Lord, he delivered them into thy hand?

9 Iji Waaqayyoo warra garaa guutuun isa amanatan jajjabeessuuf guutummaa addunyaa ni ilaalaatii. Sababii ati hojii gowwummaa hojjetteef kana booddee waraanni sirraa hin caamu.”

For the eyes of the Lord behold all the earth, and give strength to those who with a perfect heart trust in him. Wherefore thou hast done foolishly, and for this cause from this time wars shall arise against thee.

10 Aasaan sababii kanaaf ilaaltuu sanatti ni aare; akka malee dheekkamees mana hidhaa keessa isa buuse. Yeruma sanatti Aasaan namoota tokko tokko gara jabinaan ni cunqurse.

And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time.

11 Wanni bara mootummaa Aasaa keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetame kitaaba mootota Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera.

But the works of Asa the first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.

12 Aasaanis bara mootummaa isaa keessa waggaa soddomii saglaffaatti dhukkuba miillaatiin akka malee ni dhiphate. Taʼus inni dhukkuba akka malee hamaa kana keessatti illee ogeeyyii fayyaa malee gargaarsa Waaqayyoo hin barbaanne.

And Asa fell sick in the nine and thirtieth year of his reign, of a most violent pain in his feet, and yet in his illness he did not seek the Lord, but rather trusted in the skill of physicians.

13 Ergasii Aasaan bara mootummaa isaa keessa waggaa afurtamii tokkoffaatti duʼee abbootii ofii isaa wajjin boqote.

And he slept with his fathers: and he died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

14 Isaanis awwaala inni Magaalaa Daawit keessatti dhagaa cabsee ofii isaatii qopheeffatetti isa ni awwaalan. Wasaasaa urgooftuuwwanii fi shittoodhaan guutame irra isa ni ciibsan; ulfina isaatiifis ibidda guddaa bobeessan.

And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had made for himself in the city of David: and they laid him on his bed full of spices and odoriferous ointments, which were made by the art of the perfumers, and they burnt them over him with very great pomp.
