2 Nyakati 16
1 Katika mwaka wa thelathini na sita wa utawala wa Asa, Mfalme Baasha wa Israeli akashambulia Yuda na kuweka ngome mji wa Rama ili kumzuia yeyote asitoke wala kuingia nchi ya Mfalme Asa wa Yuda.
In year thirty and six of [the] reign of Asa he came up Baasha [the] king of Israel on Judah and he built Ramah to not [surely] permitting one going out or one coming in to Asa [the] king of Judah.
2 Ndipo Asa akachukua fedha na dhahabu kutoka hazina ya Hekalu la Bwana na kutoka jumba lake mwenyewe la kifalme na kumpelekea Ben-Hadadi mfalme wa Aramu, ambaye alikuwa anatawala huko Dameski.
And he brought out Asa silver and gold from [the] treasuries of [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of the king and he sent [it] to Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram who dwelt in Damascus saying.
3 Akasema, “Pawepo na mkataba kati yangu na wewe, kama ulivyokuwepo kati ya baba yangu na baba yako. Tazama, nimekuletea fedha na dhahabu. Sasa vunja mkataba wako na Baasha mfalme wa Israeli ili aniondokee mimi.”
A covenant [be] between me and between you and between father my and between father your here! I have sent to you silver and gold go break covenant your with Baasha [the] king of Israel so he may go up from on me.
4 Ben-Hadadi akakubaliana na Mfalme Asa na kutuma majemadari wa majeshi yake dhidi ya miji ya Israeli. Wakashinda Iyoni, Dani, Abel-Maimu na miji yote ya hazina ya Naftali.
And he listened Ben Hadad to the king Asa and he sent [the] commanders of the armies which [belonged] to him against [the] cities of Israel and they struck down Ijon and Dan and Abel Maim and all [the] stores of [the] cities of Naphtali.
5 Baasha aliposikia jambo hili, akasimamisha kujenga Rama na kuacha kazi yake.
And it was when heard Baasha and he ceased from building Ramah and he caused to cease work his.
6 Ndipo Mfalme Asa akawaleta watu wote wa Yuda, nao wakachukua mawe na miti ambayo Baasha alikuwa anavitumia huko Rama. Kwa vitu hivyo akajenga Geba na Mispa.
And Asa the king he took all Judah and they carried off [the] stones of Ramah and wood its which he had built Baasha and he built with them Geba and Mizpah.
7 Ikawa wakati huo mwonaji Hanani akamjia Mfalme Asa wa Yuda na kumwambia: “Kwa sababu ulimtegemea mfalme wa Aramu nawe hukumtegemea Bwana Mungu wako, jeshi la mfalme wa Aramu limeponyoka mkononi mwako.
And at the time that he came Hanani the seer to Asa [the] king of Judah and he said to him because depending you on [the] king of Aram and not you depended on Yahweh God your there-fore it has escaped [the] army of [the] king of Aram from hand your.
8 Je, hukumbuki lililotendeka kwa Wakushi na Walibia, hawakuwa jeshi lenye nguvu na magari mengi ya vita na wapanda farasi? Hata hivyo, ulipomtegemea Bwana yeye aliwatia mkononi mwako.
¿ Not the Cushites and the Libyans were they an army - for multitude chariotry and horsemen to abundance exceedingly and because depending you on Yahweh he gave them in hand your.
9 Kwa kuwa macho ya Bwana hukimbiakimbia duniani kote ili kujionyesha mwenye nguvu kwa ajili ya wale ambao mioyo yao inamtegemea kwa ukamilifu. Umefanya jambo la upumbavu na kuanzia sasa na kuendelea utakuwa na vita.”
For Yahweh eyes his [are] roving about in all the earth to show himself strong with [those who] heart their [is] complete to him you have acted foolishly on this for from now there with you [will be] wars.
10 Asa akamkasirikia mwonaji kwa sababu ya jambo hili. Alikuwa ameghadhibika sana hata akamweka gerezani. Wakati huo huo Asa akaanza kuwatesa na kuwaonea baadhi ya watu kwa ukatili.
And he was angry Asa against the seer and he put him [the] house of the stock[s] for in a rage with him on this and he crushed Asa some of the people at the time that.
11 Matukio ya utawala wa Asa, kuanzia mwanzo mpaka mwisho, yameandikwa katika kitabu cha wafalme wa Yuda na Israeli.
And there! [the] matters of Asa former and latter there they [are] written on [the] scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Katika mwaka wa thelathini na tisa wa utawala wake, Asa alipatwa na ugonjwa kwenye miguu yake. Ingawa ugonjwa wake ulimzidia sana, hata katika kuugua kwake hakutafuta msaada kutoka kwa Bwana bali kwa matabibu tu.
And he became sick Asa in year thirty and nine of reign his in feet his [was] to upwards sickness his and also in sickness his not he sought Yahweh for the physicians.
13 Katika mwaka wa arobaini na moja wa utawala wa Asa, alikufa na kulala na baba zake.
And he lay down Asa with ancestors his and he died in year forty and one of reigning his.
14 Nao wakamzika katika kaburi lile alilokuwa amejichongea mwenyewe katika Mji wa Daudi. Wakamzika kwa jeneza lililowekwa vikolezi na mchanganyiko wa manukato ya aina mbalimbali yaliyotengenezwa kwa utaalamu wa mtengeneza marashi, nao wakawasha moto mkubwa kwa heshima yake.
And people buried him in own grave his which he had dug for himself in [the] city of David and they made lie him in the lying place which he had filled spices and kinds mixed as ointment of work and they burned for him a burning great up to muchness.
