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.
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
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 house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at 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: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may 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 Ben-hadad hearkened unto 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 Baʼishaanis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti Raamaa ijaaruu dhiisee hojii ofii isaa dhaabe.
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard thereof, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
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 Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
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 Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine 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 Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine 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 run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
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.
Then Asa was wroth 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 the same time.
11 Wanni bara mootummaa Aasaa keessa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti hojjetame kitaaba mootota Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel keessatti barreeffameera.
And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah 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 in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet 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 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 sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries’ art: and they made a very great burning for him.
