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.
1في السنة السادسة والثلاثين لملك آسا صعد بعشا ملك اسرائيل على يهوذا وبنى الرامة لكيلا يدع احدا يخرج او يدخل الى آسا ملك يهوذا.
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,
2واخرج آسا فضة وذهبا من خزائن بيت الرب وبيت الملك وارسل الى بنهدد ملك ارام الساكن في دمشق قائلا
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.”
3ان بيني وبينك وبين ابي وابيك عهدا. هوذا قد ارسلت لك فضة وذهبا فتعال انقض عهدك مع بعشا ملك اسرائيل فيصعد عني.
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.
4فسمع بنهدد للملك آسا وارسل رؤساء الجيوش التي له على مدن اسرائيل فضربوا عيون ودان وآبل المياه وجميع مخازن مدن نفتالي.
5It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
5فلما سمع بعشا كف عن بناء الرامة وترك عمله.
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.
6فاخذ آسا الملك كل يهوذا فحملوا حجارة الرامة واخشابها التي بنى بها بعشا وبنى بها جبع والمصفاة
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.
7وفي ذلك الزمان جاء حناني الرائي الى آسا ملك يهوذا وقال له من اجل انك استندت على ملك ارام ولم تستند على الرب الهك لذلك قد نجا جيش ملك ارام من يدك.
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.
8ألم يكن الكوشيون واللوبيون جيشا كثيرا بمركبات وفرسان كثيرة جدا. فمن اجل انك استندت على الرب دفعهم ليدك.
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.”
9لان عيني الرب تجولان في كل الارض ليتشدد مع الذين قلوبهم كاملة نحوه. فقد حمقت في هذا حتى انه من الآن تكون عليك حروب.
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.
10فغضب آسا على الرائي ووضعه في السجن لانه اغتاظ منه من اجل هذا. وضايق آسا بعضا من الشعب في ذلك الوقت.
11Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
11وأمور آسا الاولى والاخيرة ها هي مكتوبة في سفر الملوك ليهوذا واسرائيل.
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.
12ومرض آسا في السنة التاسعة والثلاثين من ملكه في رجليه حتى اشتد مرضه وفي مرضه ايضا لم يطلب الرب بل الاطباء.
13Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
13ثم اضطجع آسا مع آبائه ومات في السنة الحادية والاربعين لملكه
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.
14فدفنوه في قبوره التي حفرها لنفسه في مدينة داود واضجعوه في سرير كان مملوّا اطيابا واصنافا عطرة حسب صناعة العطارة واحرقوا له حريقة عظيمة جدا
