2 Chronicles 16
1 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.
Anno autem trigesimo sexto regni eius, ascendit Baasa rex Israel in Iudam, et muro circumdabat Rama, ut nullus tute posset egredi et ingredi de regno Asa.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of Yahweh’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
Protulit ergo Asa argentum et aurum de thesauris domus Domini, et de thesauris regis, misitque ad Benadad regem Syriæ, qui habitabat in Damasco, dicens:
3 “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.”
Fœdus inter me et te est, pater quoque meus et pater tuus habuere concordiam: quam ob rem misi tibi argentum et aurum, ut rupto fœdere, quod habes cum Baasa rege Israel, facias eum a me recedere.
4 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.
Quo comperto, Benadad misit principes exercituum suorum ad urbes Israel: qui percusserunt Ahion, et Dan, et Abelmaim, et universas urbes Nephthali muratas.
5 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.
Quod cum audisset Baasa desiit ædificare Rama, et intermisit opus suum.
6 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.
Porro Asa rex assumpsit universum Iudam, et tulerunt lapides de Rama, et ligna quæ ædificationi præparaverat Baasa, ædificavitque ex eis Gabaa, et Maspha.
7 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 Yahweh your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand.
In tempore illo venit Hanani propheta ad Asa regem Iuda, et dixit ei: Quia habuisti fiduciam in rege Syriæ, et non in Domino Deo tuo, idcirco evasit Syriæ regis exercitus de manu tua.
8 Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he delivered them into your hand.
Nonne Æthiopes, et Libyes multo plures erant quadrigis, et equitibus, et multitudine nimia: quos, cum Domino credidisses, tradidit in manu tua?
9 For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”
Oculi enim Domini contemplantur universam terram, et præbent fortitudinem his, qui corde perfecto credunt in eum. Stulte igitur egisti, et propter hoc ex præsenti tempore adversum te bella consurgent.
10 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.
Iratusque Asa adversus Videntem, iussit eum mitti in nervum: valde quippe super hoc fuerat indignatus: et interfecit de populo in tempore illo plurimos.
11 Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Opera autem Asa prima et novissima scripta sunt in Libro regum Iuda et Israel.
12 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 Yahweh, but just the physicians.
Ægrotavit etiam Asa anno trigesimo nono regni sui, dolore pedum vehementissimo, et nec in infirmitate sua quæsivit Dominum, sed magis in medicorum arte confisus est.
13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
Dormivitque cum patribus suis: et mortuus est anno quadragesimo primo regni sui.
14 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 odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
Et sepelierunt eum in sepulchro suo quod foderat sibi in Civitate David: posueruntque eum super lectum suum plenum aromatibus et unguentibus meretriciis, quæ erant pigmentariorum arte confecta, et combusserunt super eum ambitione nimia.
