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

¹In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, 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.

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

²Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Yahweh and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

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!'

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.”

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.

⁴Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.

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

⁵It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.

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.

⁶Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

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.

⁷At 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 is the army of the king of Syria escaped out of your hand.

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

⁸Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he delivered them into your hand.

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.'

⁹For the eyes of Yahweh run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from henceforth you shall have wars.”

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.

¹⁰Then 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.

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

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

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

¹²In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he didn’t seek Yahweh, but to the physicians.

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

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

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.

¹⁴They buried him in his own tombs, which he had dug out for himself in the city of David, 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 burning for him.
