¹In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

¹Aasa kolmekümne kuuendal valitsemisaastal tuli Iisraeli kuningas Baesa Juuda vastu ja kindlustas Raama, et Juuda kuningal Aasal ei oleks välja- ega sissepääsu.

²Then 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 Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

²Siis Aasa tõi välja hõbeda ja kulla Issanda koja ja kuningakoja varanduste hulgast ja läkitas Ben-Hadadile, Süüria kuningale, kes elas Damaskuses, öeldes:

³There 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 Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.

³'Minu ja sinu vahel olgu leping, nagu oli minu isa ja sinu isa vahel! Vaata, ma läkitan sulle hõbedat ja kulda. Mine, tühista oma leping Iisraeli kuninga Baesaga, et ta läheks ära minu kallalt!'

⁴And Benhadad 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.

⁴Ja Ben-Hadad kuulas Aasat ning läkitas oma sõjaväepealikud Iisraeli linnade vastu ja need vallutasid Ijjoni, Daani ja Aabel-Maimi ja kõik Naftali linnade tagavaralaod.

⁵And it came to pass, when Baasha heard it, that he left off building of Ramah, and let his work cease.

⁵Kui Baesa seda kuulis, siis ta loobus Raamat kindlustamast ja katkestas oma töö.

⁶Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

⁶Aga kuningas Aasa tõi kaasa kogu Juuda, ja nad viisid Raamast ära kivid ja palgid, millega Baesa oli ehitanud; ta kindlustas nendega Geba ja Mispa.

⁷And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand.

⁷Sel ajal tuli nägija Hanani Juuda kuninga Aasa juurde ja ütles temale: 'Et sa toetusid Süüria kuningale ega toetunud Issandale, oma Jumalale, seepärast on Süüria kuninga sõjavägi sinu käest pääsenud.

⁸Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thine hand.

⁸Eks olnud etiooplased ja liibüalased suur sõjavägi väga paljude vankrite ja ratsanikega? Aga kui sa toetusid Issandale, andis ta need su kätte.

⁹For 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 perfect toward him. Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.

⁹Sest Issanda silmad jälgivad kogu maad, et võimsasti aidata neid, kes siira südamega hoiavad tema poole. Seda sa tegid rumalasti, sest nüüdsest peale on sul sõjad.'

¹⁰Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.

¹⁰Aga Aasa sai nägijale pahaseks ja pani ta vangihoonesse, sest selle kõne pärast oli tal viha tema vastu. Aasa kohtles sel ajal mõningaid rahva hulgast julmalt.

¹¹And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

¹¹Ja vaata, Aasa varasemad ja hilisemad lood, vaata, need on kirja pandud Juuda ja Iisraeli Kuningate raamatus.

¹²And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

¹²Oma kolmekümne üheksandal valitsemisaastal hakkas Aasa jalgu põdema ja tema haigus oli väga raske. Aga oma haiguseski ei otsinud ta Issandat, vaid arste.

¹³And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

¹³Siis Aasa läks magama oma vanemate juurde ja suri oma neljakümne esimesel valitsemisaastal.

¹⁴And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odorous and divers kinds of spices prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.

¹⁴Ta maeti oma hauda, mille ta enesele oli lasknud raiuda Taaveti linnas; ta sängitati asemele, mis oli täidetud palsamitega ja mitmesuguste segatud salvidega, ja tema auks põletati väga suur koolnusuitsutus.
