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 thirty-eighth year of the reign of Asa, the king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so as not to allow egress or ingress to Asa king of Juda.
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.
And Asa took silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and sent [them] to the son of Ader king of Syria, which lived 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.
Make a covenant between me and you, and between my father and your father: behold, I have sent you gold and silver: come, and turn away from me Baasa king of Israel, and let 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 the son of Ader listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his host against the cities of Israel; and struck Aeon, and Dan, and Abelmain, and all the country round Nephthali.
5 Baʼishaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Raamaa ijaaruu dhiisee hojii ofii isaa dhaabe.
And it came to pass when Baasa heard [it] he left off building Rama, and put a stop to 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 took the stones of Rama, and its timber, [with] which Baasa [had] built; and he built with them Gabae 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.
And at that time came Anani the prophet to Asa king of Juda, and said to him, Because you did trust on the king of Syria, and did not trust on the Lord your God, therefore the army of Syria is escaped out of your 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 Libyans a great force, in courage, in horsemen, in great numbers? and did not He deliver them into your hands, because you trusted in the Lord?
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 look upon all the earth, to strengthen every heart that is perfect toward him. In this you have done foolishly; henceforth there shall be war with you.
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 prophet, and put him in prison, for he was angry at this: and Asa vexed some of the people at that time.
11 Wanni bara mootummaa Aasaa keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetame kitaaba mootota Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera.
And, behold, the acts of Asa, the first and the 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 was diseased [in] his feet in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, until he was very ill: but in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.
13 Ergasii Aasaan bara mootummaa isaa keessa waggaa afurtamii tokkoffaatti duʼee abbootii ofii isaa wajjin boqote.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forties 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 the sepulchre which he had dug for himself in the city of David, and they laid him on a bed, and filled [it] with spices and [all] kinds of perfumes of the apothecaries; and they made for him a very great funeral.
