2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of the rule of Asa, Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah so that no one was able to go out or in to Asa, king of Judah.
Tamin’ ny taona fahenina amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Asa dia niakatra Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, hamely ny Joda, ka nanamboatra an’ i Rama izy mba tsy hisy hahazo hivoaka na hiditra ho an’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
2 Then Asa took silver and gold out of the stores of the Lord's house and of the king's store-house, and sent to Ben-hadad, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,
Ary Asa namoaka volafotsy sy volamena avy tamin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ i Jehovah sy ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka, dia nampitondra azy tany amin’ i Beni-hadada, mpanjakan’ i Syria, izay nitoetra tany Damaskosy, ka nanao hoe:
3 Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.
Misy fanekena amiko sy aminao, dia ilay tamin’ ny raiko sy ny rainao; koa, indro, mampanatitra volafotsy sy volamena ho anao aho, ka andeha, tsoahy ny fanekenao amin’ i Basa, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, mba hialany amiko.
4 And Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-maim, and all the store-towns of Naphtali.
Ary Beni-hadada nanaiky ny tenin’ i Asa mpanjaka ka naniraka ireo komandin’ ny miaramilany hamely ny tanànan’ ny Isiraely; dia nandrava an’ Iona sy Dana sy Abela-maima ary ny trano fitehirizana rehetra izay teny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Naftaly izy.
5 Then Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and let his work come to an end.
Ary nony ren’ i Basa izany, dia nitsahatra tsy nanamboatra an’ i Rama intsony izy, fa natsahany ny asany.
6 Then King Asa, with all Judah, took away the stones and wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and he made use of them for building Geba and Mizpah.
Ary Asa mpanjaka namory ny Joda rehetra; ary dia nesorin’ ny olona ny vato sy ny hazo tao Rama, izay naorin’ i Basa, ka nentiny nanamboatra an’ i Geba sy Mizpa.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, Because you have put your faith in the king of Aram and not in the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has got away out of your hands.
Ary tamin’ izany andro izany dia nankeo amin’ i Asa, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, Hanany mpahita ka nanao taminy hoe: Noho ny niankinanao tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria fa tsy niankina tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao, dia afa-nandositra ny tananao ny miaramilan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a very great army, with war-carriages and horsemen more than might be numbered? but because your faith was in the Lord, he gave them up into your hands.
Tsy maro be va ny Etiopiana sy ny Lobita, ary tsy maro be koa va ny kalesiny sy ny mpitaingin-tsoavaliny? Nefa noho ny niankinanao tamin’ i Jehovah, dia natolony teo an-tananao ireo.
9 For the eyes of the Lord go this way and that, through all the earth, letting it be seen that he is the strong support of those whose hearts are true to him. In this you have done foolishly, for from now you will have wars.
Fa ny mason’ i Jehovah mijery eny tontolo eny eran’ ny tany rehetra, mba hisehoany aman-kery hamonjy izay manana fo mahitsy aminy. Adala ianao tamin’ izany, ka dia hisy ady hahazo anao hatramin’ izao.
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, burning with wrath against him because of this thing. And at the same time Asa was cruel to some of the people.
Dia tezitra tamin’ ilay mpahita Asa ka nanao azy tao an-trano-maizina; fa nisafoaka aminy indrindra izy noho izany. Ary ny olona sasany koa dia nampahorin’ i Asa tamin’ izay.
11 Now the acts of Asa, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ary, indro, ny tantaran’ i Asa, na ny voalohany na ny farany, dia efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny Isiraely.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his rule, Asa had a very bad disease of the feet; but he did not go to the Lord for help in his disease, but to medical men.
Tamin’ ny taona fahasivy amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Asa dia narary tamin’ ny tongony izy, ka nihamafy indrindra ny aretiny; nefa na dia narary aza izy, dia tsy nitady an’ i Jehovah, fa ny mpanao fanafody ihany.
13 So Asa went to rest with his fathers, and death came to him in the forty-first year of his rule.
Ary Asa lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany; maty izy tamin’ ny taona fahiraika amby efa-polo nanjakany.
14 And they put him into the resting-place which he had made for himself in the town of David, in a bed full of sweet perfumes of all sorts of spices, made by the perfumer's art, and they made a great burning for him.
Dia nalevina tao amin’ ny fasany ihany izy, izay nolavahany tao an-Tanànan’ i Davida, ka nampandrina teo amin’ ny fandriana efa nofenoina zava-manitra samy hafa voaharoharo araka ny fanaon’ ny mpangaroharo zava-manitra, ary nandoroany zavatra betsaka ho fisaonana azy.
