< 2 Chronicles 16 >

1 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.
In yac aktolngoul onkosr ma Tokosra Asa el leum lun Judah, Tokosra Baasha lun Israel el utyak ke ku lal nu fin acn Judah, ac mutawauk in kuhlasak acn Ramah, in tulokinya utyak ac illa lun mwet uh in facl Judah.
2 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,
Ke ma inge, Asa el eis silver ac gold liki nien fwil ma saok in Tempul ac in lohm sin tokosra, ac supwala nu Damascus nu sel Benhadad, tokosra lun Syria, wi kas inge:
3 “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.”
“Lela nga kom in akasrui, oana papa tumasr. Eis silver ac gold ingan mwe lung luk nu sum. Inge, kunausla kupasr lom nu sel Tokosra Baasha lun Israel, tuh elan usla mwet lal liki acn sik.”
4 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.
Benhadad el insesela nu ke pusra se lal Asa inge, ac el supwala captain lun un mwet mweun lal, wi mwet mweun lalos, in mweuni siti lun Israel. Elos sruokya siti lun Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maacah, ac siti nukewa in acn Naphtali, yen kufwen mweun lalos oan we.
5 It came about that when Baasha heard this, he stopped building up Ramah, and let his work cease.
Ke Tokosra Baasha el lohng ma sikyak inge, el tui ke musa se Ramah, ac el tiana aksafyela.
6 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.
Na Tokosra Asa el orani mwet in acn nukewa in Judah, ac sap elos in usla eot ac sak nukewa ma Baasha el orekmakin in acn Ramah, ac elos sang kuhlasak siti lun Geba ac Mizpah.
7 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.
In pacl se ingan mwet palu Hanani el som nu yorol Tokosra Asa ac fahk, “Ke sripen kom nget nu sin tokosra lun Syria ac tia filiya finsrak lom in LEUM GOD, pwanang mwet mweun lun tokosra Israel elos kaingla liki inpoum.
8 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.
Ya tia puslana mwet mweun lun Ethiopia ac Libya, oayapa pukanten pac chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse? Tuh mweyen kom filiya finsrak lom sin LEUM GOD, pa oru El tuh sot kutangla nu sum.
9 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.”
LEUM GOD El arulana suiya faclu nufon in sang ku nu selos su pwaye insialos nu sel. Kom orala ouiya na lalfon, na pa ingela tokosrai lom ac fah mweun pacl nukewa.”
10 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.
Kas inge oru Asa el kasrkusrak sin mwet palu sac, ac sapkin in kapuri el. In pacl se pacna inge Asa el mutawauk in akkeokye kutu mwet uh.
11 Behold, the deeds of Asa, from first to last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ma sikyak nukewa ke pacl Asa el tokosra, mutawauk nwe ke safla, simla oasr ke [Sramsram Matu ke Tokosra lun Judah ac Israel.]
12 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.
In yac aktolngoul eu ke Asa el tokosra, nial ulla ke sie mas upa. Ne ouinge, el tiana forla in nget nu sin LEUM GOD in eis kasru sel, a el suk kasru sin mwet orek ono.
13 So Asa slept with his ancestors, dying in the forty-first year of his reign.
Yac luo toko na el misa,
14 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.
ac el pukpuki inkulyuk eot se ma el taflela lal sifacna in Siti sel David. Elos mosrwela manol ke mwe akkeng ac oil keng in akoella nu ke pukpuki, ac elos tanak sie e lulap in akfulatyal.
