2 Meʻa Hokohoko 16
1 ʻI he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma ono ʻoe pule ʻa ʻAsa, naʻe haʻu ʻa Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli ke tauʻi ʻa Siuta, pea langa ʻe ia ʻa Lama, koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa ʻalu kituaʻā ha niʻihi pe haʻu ki loto kia ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.
我我我阿撒當國第三十六年，以色列王巴厄沙來進攻猶大，在辣瑪修築工事，防止人同猶大王阿撒來往。
2 Pea naʻe ʻomi kituʻa ʻe ʻAsa ʻae siliva mo e koula mei he ngaahi fale koloa ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova, pea mei he fale ʻoe tuʻi, pea ne ʻave ia kia Peni-Hatati ko e tuʻi ʻo Silia ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻi Tamasikusi, ʻo pehē,
當時阿撒拿出上主殿內和王宮府庫中的金銀，送給住在大馬士革得阿蘭王本哈達得說：
3 “ʻOku ai ʻae lea ʻiate au mo koe, ʻo hangē ko ia naʻe ʻi heʻeku tamai mo hoʻo tamai: vakai ʻoku ou ʻatu ni ʻae siliva mo e koula: ke ke ʻalu, pea maumauʻi hoʻo alea papau mo Paʻasa ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli, koeʻuhi ke ʻalu ia ʻiate au.”
「我與你之間，以及我父與你之間都立過約；現在我給你送來金銀作為禮品，請你廢除你與以色列王巴厄沙所立的約，使他離開我的國境。」
4 Pea naʻe tokanga ʻa Peni-Hatati ki he tuʻi ko ʻAsa, pea ne fekau ʻae ngaahi ʻeiki pule ʻo ʻene ngaahi tau ke tauʻi ʻae ngaahi kolo ʻo ʻIsileli: pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻa Isoni, mo Tani, mo ʻEpelimeimi, mo e ngaahi kolo tukunga koloa kotoa pē ʻo Nafitali.
本哈達得聽從了阿撒王的話，即刻派軍長，去攻打以色列的城市，攻下了依雍、丹、阿貝耳瑪因和納斐塔里所有的屯貨城。
5 Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻe Paʻasa, naʻa ne tuku ʻene langa ʻa Lama, pea tuku liʻaki pe ʻene ngāue.
巴厄沙一聽說這事，立即停止在辣瑪的工事。
6 Pea naʻe ʻave ʻe ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻa Siuta kotoa pē mo ia: pea naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae ngaahi maka kotoa pē ʻo Lama, pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau ʻi ai, ʻaia naʻe langa ʻaki ʻe Paʻasa: pea naʻa ne langa ʻaki ʻe ia ʻa Kepa mo Misipa.
阿撒王遂徵調全猶大人，將巴厄沙修築辣瑪所用的石頭和木材運走，用來修築革巴和米茲帕。[先見者哈納尼的斥責]
7 Pea ʻi he kuonga ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Hanani, ko e tangata kikite kia ʻAsa ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “Ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo falala ki he tuʻi ʻo Silia, pea naʻe ʻikai te ke falala kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ko ia kuo hao ʻo hola ʻae tau ʻae tuʻi ʻo Silia mei ho nima.
那時，先見者哈納尼來見猶大王阿撒，對他說：「因為你依靠了阿蘭，而沒有依靠上主你的天主，因此阿蘭王的軍隊脫離了你。
8 ʻIkai ko e fuʻu tau lahi ʻae kakai ʻItiopea mo e kakai Lupimi, mo e ngaahi saliote lahi mo e kau tangata heka hoosi? Ka ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo falala kia Sihova, naʻa ne tuku mai ʻakinautolu ki ho nima.
雇士人和利比亞人不是一支很強大的軍隊嗎﹖戰車騎兵不是很多嗎﹖但幾時你依靠上主，他便將他們交在你的手中。
9 He ʻoku lele fetoutou mo liliu ʻaki ʻae fofonga ʻo Sihova ʻi māmani kotoa pē, ke fakahā mālohi ʻa ʻene ʻafio ke kau mo kinautolu ʻoku tokanga totonu honau loto kiate ia. ʻI he meʻa ni kuo ke fai fakavalevale: pea mei he kuonga ko eni te ke moʻua koe ʻi he ngaahi tau.”
上主的眼遍察各地，對所有專心忠於他的，他必大顯威能，加以扶助。你這事作得太無知了，今後你必要遭遇戰禍。」
10 Pea naʻe ʻita lahi ʻa ʻAsa ki he tangata kikite, pea ne tuku ia ki he fale fakapōpula: he naʻe lili ia kiate ia koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni. Pea naʻe pule kakaha ʻa ʻAsa ki he kakai niʻihi ʻi he kuonga ko ia.
阿撒對先見者發怒，將他囚在獄中；王在這事上實在生了大氣，同時阿撒又虐待了一些百姓。[阿撒逝世 ]
11 Pea vakai, ko e ngaahi ngāue ʻa ʻAsa, ko e muʻaki mo e kimui, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he tohi fakamatala ki he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo ʻIsileli.
阿撒的前後事蹟，都記載在猶大和以色列列王實錄上。
12 Pea naʻe mahaki ʻa ʻAsa ʻi hono vaʻe, ʻi hono tolungofulu ma hiva taʻu ʻo ʻene pule, pea naʻe tupu ʻo lahi ʻaupito ʻene mahaki: ka ʻi heʻene mahaki naʻe ʻikai kumi ia kia Sihova, ka ki he kau faitoʻo.
阿撒當國第三十九年，患了足疾，病得十分嚴重；他在病中不求上主，而只求醫。
13 Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻAsa mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea pekia ia ʻi hono fāngofulu ma taha taʻu ʻo ʻene pule.
阿撒在位四十一年逝世，與祖先同眠。
14 Pea naʻa nau fai hono putu ki hono fonualoto ʻoʻona, ʻaia naʻa ne ngaohi moʻona ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, pea naʻe tuku ia ki he mohenga naʻe fakafonu ʻaki ʻae ngaahi meʻa namu kakala kehekehe naʻe teuʻi ʻe he kakai naʻe poto ʻi he ngāue ko ia: pea naʻa nau fai ʻae tutu lahi ʻaupito maʻana.
人們將他葬在達味城，自己所鑿的墳墓，將他放在床上面，滿堆香料，即照調香法所製的各種香料，又為他焚燒了很多的香料。
