1 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.
In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 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:
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the LORD’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
3 “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.”
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”
4 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.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 Ke Tokosra Baasha el lohng ma sikyak inge, el tui ke musa se Ramah, ac el tiana aksafyela.
When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 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.
Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
7 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.
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand.
8 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.
Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand.
9 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.”
For the LORD’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”
10 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.
Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 Ma sikyak nukewa ke pacl Asa el tokosra, mutawauk nwe ke safla, simla oasr ke [Sramsram Matu ke Tokosra lun Judah ac Israel.]
Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 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.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek the LORD, but just the physicians.
13 Yac luo toko na el misa,
Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 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.
They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
