2 Chronicles 16
1 Ní ọdún kẹrìndínlógójì ìjọba Asa, Baaṣa ọba Israẹli gòkè wá sí Juda ó sì kọlu Rama, láti ma bá a jẹ́ kí ẹnikẹ́ni lè jáde tàbí wọlé tọ Asa ọba Juda lọ.
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign, Baasha, king of Israel, acted aggressively against Judah and built up Ramah, so that he might not allow anyone to leave or enter into the land of Asa, king of Judah.
2 Nígbà náà ni Asa mú wúrà àti fàdákà jáde nínú ilé ìṣúra ilé Olúwa àti ààfin ọba ó sì ránṣẹ́ sí Beni-Hadadi ọba Siria, ẹni tí ń gbé ní Damasku, ó wí pé,
Then Asa brought the silver and gold out of the storerooms in the house of Yahweh and of the king's house, and sent it to Ben Hadad king of Aram, who lived in Damascus. He said,
3 “Májẹ̀mú kan wà láàrín èmi àti ìrẹ, bí ó ti wà láàrín baba mi àti baba rẹ. Ẹ wò ó, mo fi wúrà àti fàdákà ránṣẹ́ sí ọ; lọ, ba májẹ̀mú tí o bá Baaṣa ọba Israẹli dá jẹ́, kí ó lè lọ kúrò ní ọ̀dọ̀ mi.”
“Let there be a covenant between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent to you silver and gold. Break your covenant with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may leave me alone.”
4 Beni-Hadadi sì gbọ́ ti Asa ọba, ó sì rán àwọn olórí ogun rẹ̀ lọ sí àwọn ìlú Israẹli, wọ́n sì kọlu Ijoni, Dani, Abeli-Maimu, àti gbogbo ìlú ìṣúra Naftali.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 Nígbà tí Baaṣa gbọ́ èyí, ó sì dá kíkọ́ Rama dúró, ó sì dá iṣẹ́ rẹ̀ dúró.
It came about that when Baasha heard this, he stopped building up Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Nígbà náà ní ọba Asa kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda jọ, wọ́n sì kó òkúta àti igi Rama lọ èyí ti Baaṣa ń fi kọ́lé; ó sì fi kọ́ Geba àti Mispa.
Then Asa the king took all Judah with him. They carried away the stones and timbers of Ramah with which Baasha had been building up the city. Then King Asa used that building material to build up Geba and Mizpah.
7 Ní àkókò náà wòlíì Hanani wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ Asa ọba Juda, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Nítorí tí ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọba Siria, ìwọ kò sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, nítorí náà ni ogún ọba Siria ṣe bọ́ kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ.
At that time Hanani the seer went to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand.
8 Àwa kì í ṣe ará Etiopia àti àwọn ará Libia àwọn alágbára ogun pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́ àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin? Síbẹ̀ nígbà tí ìwọ bá gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa yóò sì fi wọ́n lé ọwọ́ rẹ.
Were not the Cushites and the Libyans a huge army, with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he gave you victory over them.
9 Nítorí ojú Olúwa yí gbogbo ayé ká láti fi agbára fún àwọn ẹni tí ó ní ọkàn pípé sí i. Ìwọ ti ṣe ohun aṣiwèrè, láti ìsinsin yìí lọ, ìwọ yóò wà lójú ogun.”
For the eyes of Yahweh run everywhere throughout the whole earth, so that he might show himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are perfect toward him. But you have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, you will have war.”
10 Asa sì bínú pẹ̀lú sí wòlíì nítorí èyí, ó sì mú un bínú gidigidi tí ó sì fi mú un sínú túbú. Ní àkókò náà Asa sì ni díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ènìyàn náà lára.
Then Asa was angry with the seer; he put him into prison, for he was angry with him over this matter. At the same time, Asa oppressed some of the people.
11 Àwọn iṣẹ́ ìjọba Asa, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ títí dé òpin, ni akọ sínú ìwé ọba Juda àti Israẹli.
Behold, the deeds of Asa, from first to last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Ní ọdún kọkàndínlógójì ìjọba rẹ̀, Asa sì ṣe àìsàn pẹ̀lú ààrùn nínú ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀. Bi ó tilẹ̀ jẹ pé ààrùn rẹ̀ lágbára, síbẹ̀ kódà nínú àìsàn rẹ̀ kò wá ìrànlọ́wọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa, ṣùgbọ́n lọ́dọ̀ àwọn oníṣègùn nìkan.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was very severe, he did not seek help from Yahweh, but only from the physicians.
13 Nígbà náà tí ó pé ọdún kọ́kànlélógójì rẹ̀, Asa kú, ó sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjọba baba rẹ̀,
So Asa slept with his ancestors, dying in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 wọ́n sì sin ín sínú isà òkú tí ó ti gbẹ́ jáde fún ara rẹ̀ ní ìlú Dafidi. Wọ́n sì tẹ sí orí àkéte tí ó fi òórùn dídùn kún, àti onírúurú tùràrí tí a fi ọgbọ́n pèsè, wọ́n sì da iná ńlá nítorí rẹ̀.
They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in the city of David. They laid him on a bier that was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by skilled perfumers. Then they made a very great fire in his honor.
