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.

¹V šestintridesetem letu Asovega kraljevanja pride gori Baasa, kralj Izraelov, proti Judi in sezida Ramo, da bi nihče ne mogel hoditi sem ali tja od strani Asa, kralja Judovega.

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,

²Tedaj pobere Asa srebro in zlato iz zakladnic hiše GOSPODOVE in hiše kraljeve ter pošlje k Ben-hadadu, kralju sirskemu, ki je prebival v Damasku, in sporoči:

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.

³Zaveza je med menoj in teboj, kakor je bila med mojim in tvojim očetom; glej, pošiljam ti srebra in zlata; pojdi, razderi zavezo svojo z Baasom, kraljem Izraelovim, da se umakne od mene.

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.

⁴In Ben-hadad je ugodil kralju Asu in pošlje vojsk svojih poveljnike zoper mesta Izraelova, in udarijo Ijon, Dan in Abel-maim in vsa mesta Neftalijeva, v katerih so bila skladišča.

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

⁵In ko je Baasa slišal o tem, je nehal zidati Ramo in opustil delo svoje.

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.

⁶Tedaj vzame Asa vse Judovce in jim veli odnesti od Rame kamenje in les, s katerim je gradil Baasa; in sezidali so s tem Gebo in Micpo.

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.

⁷In tisti čas pride Hanani, videc, k Asu, kralju Judovemu, in mu reče: Ker si se opiral na kralja sirskega in se nisi zanašal na GOSPODA, Boga svojega, zato je sirskega kralja vojna moč ubežala tvoji roki.

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.

⁸Niso li imeli Etiopci in Lubimi velikanske vojske in jako mnogo voz in konjikov? Vendar, ker si se opiral ob GOSPODA, ti jih je dal v roko.

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.

⁹Zakaj oči GOSPODOVE gledajo po vsej zemlji, da se izkaže močnega pri teh, katerih srce je nerazdeljeno proti njemu. V tem si nespametno storil, kajti poslej boš imel vojne.

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.

¹⁰In Asa se razsrdi nad vidcem in ga dene v ječo; kajti jezen je bil nad njim za to reč. In Asa je tisti čas delal silo nekaterim iz ljudstva.

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

¹¹In glej, zgodbe Asove, prve in poslednje, zapisane so v knjigi kraljev Judovih in Izraelovih.

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.

¹²V devetintridesetem letu svojega kraljevanja je pa zbolel Asa na nogah, in bolezen njegova je bila silno huda. A tudi v svoji bolezni ni iskal GOSPODA, ampak zdravnikov.

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

¹³In legel je Asa k očetom svojim in umrl v štiridesetem in prvem letu kraljevanja svojega.In pokopali so ga v njegovem grobu, ki si ga je izsekal v mestu Davidovem, položivši ga na ležišče njegovo, ki je bilo napolnjeno z dišečim kadilom in različnimi dišavami, narejenimi na lekarnarski način; in so zanj napravili silno velik ogenj.

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.

¹⁴In pokopali so ga v njegovem grobu, ki si ga je izsekal v mestu Davidovem, položivši ga na ležišče njegovo, ki je bilo napolnjeno z dišečim kadilom in različnimi dišavami, narejenimi na lekarnarski način; in so zanj napravili silno velik ogenj.
