2 Chronicles 16
1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Na rĩrĩ, mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na ĩtandatũ wa wathani wa Asa, Baasha mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩambatire akarũe na Juda, na akĩirigĩra Rama na rũthingo rwa hinya nĩguo arigĩrĩrie gũtikagĩe mũndũ ũkuuma kana atoonye bũrũri wa Asa mũthamaki wa Juda.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:
Nake Asa akĩoya betha na thahabu kuuma igĩĩna-inĩ cia hekarũ ya Jehova o na kuuma nyũmba-inĩ yake ya ũthamaki, na agĩcitũmĩra Beni-Hadadi mũthamaki wa Suriata ũrĩa wathamakaga Dameski.
3 'There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.'
Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Reke hakorwo harĩ na kĩrĩĩko giitũ nawe o ta ũrĩa haarĩ kĩrĩĩko gatagatĩ ka baba na thoguo. Ta kĩone, nĩndagũtũmĩra betha na thahabu. Rĩu tharia kĩrĩĩko kĩanyu na Baasha, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩguo atigane na niĩ.”
4 And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.
Beni-Hadadi agĩĩtĩkĩra ũhoro wa Mũthamaki Asa, agĩtũma anene a ikundi cia thigari ciake makahũũre matũũra ma Isiraeli. Nao magĩtooria Ijoni, na Dani, na Abeli-Maimu, na matũũra manene mothe marĩa maarĩ makũmbĩ ma kũu Nafitali.
5 And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Baasha aiguire ũhoro ũcio, agĩtiga gwaka Rama na agĩtiganĩria wĩra wake.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
Ningĩ Mũthamaki Asa akĩrehe andũ othe a Juda, nao magĩkuua mahiga na mbaũ kuuma Rama iria Baasha aatũmagĩra gwaka. Indo icio nĩcio Asa aatũmĩrire gwaka Geba na Mizipa.
7 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him: 'Because thou hast relied on the king of Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram escaped out of thy hand.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hanani ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ agĩũka kũrĩ Asa mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Tondũ nĩwehokire mũthamaki wa Suriata ũkĩaga kwĩhoka Jehova Ngai waku, mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Suriata nĩciũrĩte ikoima moko-inĩ maku.
8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, He delivered them into thy hand.
Githĩ Akushi na Alubi, matiarĩ mbũtũ nene ya ita, na makagĩa na ngaari cia ita nyingĩ na andũ arĩa maathiiaga mahaicĩte mbarathi? No rĩrĩ, rĩrĩa wehokire Jehova, nĩamaneanire moko-inĩ maku.
9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is whole toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.'
Nĩgũkorwo maitho ma Jehova morũũraga thĩ yothe gwĩkĩra hinya arĩa maheanĩte ngoro ciao biũ kũrĩ we. Nĩwĩkĩte ũndũ wa ũrimũ, na kuuma rĩu nĩũgũcooka kũgĩa na mbaara.”
10 Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
Asa akĩrakarĩra Hanani ũrĩa muoni-maũndũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio; akĩmũrakarĩra mũno o nginya akĩmũikia njeera. O hĩndĩ ĩyo, Asa akĩambĩrĩria kũhinyĩrĩria andũ amwe atarĩ na tha.
11 And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Maũndũ ma wathani wa Asa kuuma kĩambĩrĩria nginya mũthia, nĩmandĩkĩtwo mbuku-inĩ ya athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli.
12 And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
Mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩtatũ na kenda wa wathani wake, Asa nĩarũarire magũrũ. O na gũtuĩka mũrimũ ũcio nĩwamũhatĩrĩirie mũno, o na ndwari-inĩ yake-rĩ, ndaigana kũmaatha ũteithio kuuma kũrĩ Jehova, no aacaririe ũteithio kuuma kũrĩ mandagĩtarĩ.
13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
Na mwaka wa mĩrongo ĩna na ũmwe wa wathani wake, Asa agĩkua na akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.
Nao makĩmũthika mbĩrĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa eethondekeire o kũu Itũũra inene rĩa Daudi, makĩmũigĩrĩra gĩtanda-inĩ gĩa kũmũtwara mbĩrĩra kĩhumbĩrĩtwo na mahuti manungi wega na maguta mĩtukanio mĩingĩ marĩa manungi wega, nao magĩakia mwaki mũnene nĩ ũndũ wa kũmũtĩĩa.
