2 Crônicas 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. 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, 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."

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. 5 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease. 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.

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. 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. 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."

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.

11 Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and 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. 13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign. 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.

He Raruraru ki a Īharaira

1 I te toru tekau mā ono o ngā tau o te kīngitanga o Aha ka haere mai a Paaha kīngi o Īharaira ki a Hūrā, ā, hangā ana a Rama e ia, kia kaua ai tētahi e tukua kia haere atu rānei, kia haere mai rānei ki a Aha kīngi o Hūrā.

2 Kātahi ka tangohia katoatia e Aha te hiriwa me te kōura i roto i ngā taonga o te whare o Ihowā, o te whare anō o te kīngi, ā, hoatu ana kia kawea ki a Pēneharara kīngi o Hīria, i Ramahiku hoki ia e noho ana; i mea ia, 3 "He kawenata tā tāua, he pērā me tā tōku pāpā rāua ko tōu pāpā; nanā, te hiriwa, te kōura i hoatu nā e ahau kia kawea atu ki a koe. Haere, whakatakā tāu kawenata ki a Paaha kīngi o Īharaira, kia haere atu ai ia i tōku taha."

4 Nā, rongo tonu a Pēneharara ki a Kīngi Aha, ā, tonoa ana e ia ngā rangatira o āna ope ki ngā pā o Īharaira; patua iho e rātou a Īono, a Rāna, a Āperemaima, me ngā pā taonga katoa o Napatari. 5 Ā, nō te rongonga o Paaha, ka mutu tāna hanga i Rama, ā, kore ake tōna mahinga. 6 Nā, ka tīkina e Kīngi Aha a Hūrā katoa; ā, taria atu ana e rātou ngā kōhatu o Rama, me ngā rākau o reira i hangā nei e Paaha; ā, hangaia ana e ia ki aua mea a Kepa me Mihipa.

7 I taua wā ka haere a Hanani matakite ki a Aha kīngi o Hūrā, ā, ka mea ki a ia, "Kua okioki nā koe ki te kīngi o Hīria, ā, kīhai hoki koe i okioki ki a Ihowā, ki tōu Atua, mō reira ka mawhiti atu te ope o te kīngi o Hīria i tōu ringa. 8 Ko ngā Etiopiana, ko ngā Rūpimi, he teka ianei he ope tino nui rātou, he maha noa atu hoki ō rātou hāriata, ā rātou kaieke hōiho? Heoi, i tōu okiokinga ki a Ihowā, hōmai ana rātou e ia ki tōu ringa. 9 E kōpikopiko ana hoki ngā kanohi o Ihowā i te whenua katoa, hei whakaatu i te kaha o tāna āwhina i te hunga e tapatahi ana ō rātou ngākau ki a ia. He mahi kūware tēnei nāu; nā, ka whai pakanga koe i ngā wā e takoto ake nei."

10 Kātahi ka riri a Aha ki taua matakite, ā, hoatu ana e ia ki te whare herehere; he pukuriri hoki nōna ki a ia mō tēnei mea. I tūkinotia anō e Aha ētahi o te iwi i taua wā.

Te Māuiuitanga me te Matenga o Aha

11 Nā, ko ngā meatanga a Aha, o te tīmatanga, ō muri, kua oti te tuhituhi ki te pukapuka o ngā kīngi o Hūrā, o Īharaira. 12 Nā, i te toru tekau mā iwa o ngā tau o tōna kīngitanga ka mate a Aha i ōna waewae; ā, he tino nui tōna mate; otiia i tōna matenga kīhai ia i rapu i tā Ihowā, engari i tā ngā rata. 13 Nā, kua moe a Aha ki ōna mātua; i mate hoki i te whā tekau mā tahi o ngā tau o tōna kīngitanga. 14 Ā, tanumia iho ia ki ngā urupā i keria e ia mōna ki te pā o Rāwiri, whakatakotoria iho ki tētahi takotoranga e kī tonu ana i ngā mea kakara, i ngā tini mea whakaranu, he mea hanga nā te kaiwhakaranu; ā, nui atu te tahunga i tahuna mōna.
