Taariikhdii Labaad 16
1 Oo boqornimadii Aasaa sannaddeedii lix iyo soddonaad ayaa Bacshaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Israa'iil dalka Yahuudah ku kacay oo wuxuu dhisay Raamaah, inuusan qofna u oggolaan inuu ka baxo ama u galo Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah.
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha, king of Israel, invaded Judah. He fortified Ramah to stop anyone coming from or going to Asa, king of Judah.
2 Markaasaa Aasaa lacag iyo dahab ka soo bixiyey khasnadihii guriga Ilaah iyo kuwii guriga boqorkaba, oo wuxuu u sii dhiibay Benhadad oo ahaa boqorkii Suuriya oo Dimishaq degganaa, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
Asa took the silver and gold from the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and the king's palace and sent them to Ben-hadad, king of Syria, who lived in Damascus, with a message that said:
3 Axdi baa inoo dhexeeya aniga iyo adiga, oo aabbahay iyo aabbahaana wuu u dhexayn jiray, haddaba bal eeg waxaan kuu soo diray lacag iyo dahab, saas aawadeed tag oo jebi axdiga aad la leedahay boqorka dalka Israa'iil oo Bacshaa ah, ha iga tagee.
“Make an alliance between me and you like the one between my father and your father. Look at the silver and gold I've sent you. Go ahead and break your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will leave me and go home.”
4 Markaasaa Benhadad dhegaystay hadalkii Boqor Aasaa, oo saraakiishii ciidammadiisa ayuu u diray magaalooyinkii dalka Israa'iil, oo waxay dagaal ku dhufteen Ciyoon, iyo Daan, iyo Aabeel Mayim, iyo magaalooyinkii wax lagu kaydin jiray oo reer Naftaali oo dhan.
King Ben-hadad did as Asa had asked, and he sent his armies and their commanders to attack the towns of Israel. They conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the storehouse towns of Naphtali.
5 Kolkii Bacshaa taas maqlay wuu ka tegey Raamaah dhisiddeedii, oo shuqulkiisiina wuu joojiyey.
When Baasha heard about it, he stopped fortifying Ramah and gave up his project.
6 Markaasaa Boqor Aasaa soo kaxaystay dadkii Yahuudah oo dhan, oo waxay wada qaadeen dhagxantii iyo alwaaxdii Raamaah oo uu Bacshaa ku dhisayay, kolkaasuu ku dhisay Gebac iyo Misfaah.
So King Asa went with all the men of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the timbers Baasha had used for building, and with them he built up Geba and Mizpah.
7 Oo wakhtigaas ayaa Xanaanii oo waxarkihii ahaa u yimid Aasaa oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad isku hallaysay boqorka Suuriya, oo iskuma aadan hallayn Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ciidanka boqorka Suuriya gacantaada wuu ka baxsaday.
But right then Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and told him, “Because you have put your trust in the king of Aram and have not put your trust in the Lord your God, your opportunity to destroy the army of the king of Aram has gone.
8 War kuwii reer Itoobiya iyo reer Luubiim sow ma ay ahayn ciidan weyn oo wata gaadhifardood iyo ciidan fardooley ah oo aad iyo aad u badan? Oo weliba Rabbigu wuxuu soo geliyey gacantaada, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga waad isku hallaysay.
Didn't the Ethiopians and Libyans have a huge army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you trusted in the Lord, he made you victorious over them.
9 Waayo, Rabbiga indhihiisu waxay hor iyo dib u fiirinayaan dunida oo dhan inuu isu adkeeyo kuwa qalbigoodu isaga xaggiisa ku qumman yahay. Taas ayaad nacasnimo ku samaysay, oo hadda ka dib dagaallo baad ku jiri doontaa.
For the Lord looks all over the earth for the opportunity to show his power on behalf of those who are completely and sincerely devoted to him. You have acted stupidly in doing this. So from now on you will always be at war.”
10 Markaasaa Aasaa waxarkihii u cadhooday oo wuxuu ku riday xabsi, maxaa yeelay, aad buu ugu xanaaqay xaalkan daraaddiis. Oo isla markaasna Aasaa baa dadkii qaarkiis dulmay.
Asa was angry with the seer. He was so angry with him over this that he put him in prison. At this same time Asa started to mistreat some of the people.
11 Oo bal eeg Aasaa falimihiisii, intii hore iyo intii dambeba, waxay ku qoran yihiin kitaabkii boqorrada dalka Yahuudah iyo dalka Israa'iil.
The rest of what Asa did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Oo sannaddii sagaal iyo soddonaad oo boqornimadiisa ayaa Aasaa cagaha ka bukooday, oo cudurkiisiina aad iyo aad buu u weynaa, oo weliba isagu cudurkiisii Rabbiga uma uu doonin laakiinse wuxuu u doondoonay dhakhtarrada.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa had trouble with disease in his feet, which only became worse and worse. Yet even in his sickness he did not turn to the Lord, but only the physicians.
13 Oo sannaddii kow iyo afartanaad oo boqornimadiisa ayaa Aasaa dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis.
Asa died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 Oo waa lagu aasay qabriyadiisii uu ka qotay magaaladii Daa'uud, oo waxaa lagu jiifiyey sariir ay ka buuxaan cadar udgoon iyo uunsi kala cayn cayn ah oo lagu hagaajiyey sancada kuwa cadarka sameeya, oo waxaa loo sameeyey dabshid aad u weyn.
He was buried in the tomb that he had prepared for himself in the City of David. They placed him on a bed full of spices, perfumed oils, and fragrances. Then they made a great fire to honor him.
