| 1 في السنة السادسة والثلاثين لملك آسا صعد بعشا ملك اسرائيل على يهوذا وبنى الرامة لكيلا يدع احدا يخرج او يدخل الى آسا ملك يهوذا. | 1 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might permit no one to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah. |
| 2 واخرج آسا فضة وذهبا من خزائن بيت الرب وبيت الملك وارسل الى بنهدد ملك ارام الساكن في دمشق قائلا | 2 Then Asa took silver and gold from the treasures of the house of the LORD and the king's house, and sent them to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying, |
| 3 ان بيني وبينك وبين ابي وابيك عهدا. هوذا قد ارسلت لك فضة وذهبا فتعال انقض عهدك مع بعشا ملك اسرائيل فيصعد عني. | 3 "Let there be a league between me and you, as between my father and your father; behold, I am sending to you silver and gold; go, break your league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may withdraw from me." |
| 4 فسمع بنهدد للملك آسا وارسل رؤساء الجيوش التي له على مدن اسرائيل فضربوا عيون ودان وآبل المياه وجميع مخازن مدن نفتالي. | 4 And Ben-hadad hearkened to King Asa, and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they conquered Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali. |
| 5 فلما سمع بعشا كف عن بناء الرامة وترك عمله. | 5 And when Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease. |
| 6 فاخذ آسا الملك كل يهوذا فحملوا حجارة الرامة واخشابها التي بنى بها بعشا وبنى بها جبع والمصفاة | 6 Then King Asa took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had been building, and with them he built Geba and Mizpah. |
| 7 وفي 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. | 7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you relied on the king of Syria, and did not rely on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Syria has escaped you. |
| 8 ألم يكن الكوشيون واللوبيون جيشا كثيرا بمركبات وفرسان كثيرة جدا. فمن اجل انك استندت على الرب دفعهم ليدك. | 8 Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans a huge army with exceedingly many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, he gave them into your hand. |
| 9 لان عيني الرب تجولان في كل الارض ليتشدد مع الذين قلوبهم كاملة نحوه. فقد حمقت في هذا حتى انه من الآن تكون عليك حروب. | 9 For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show his might in behalf of those whose heart is blameless toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars." |
| 10 فغضب آسا على الرائي ووضعه في السجن لانه اغتاظ منه من اجل هذا. وضايق آسا بعضا من الشعب في ذلك الوقت. | 10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the stocks, in prison, for he was in a rage with him because of this. And Asa inflicted cruelties upon some of the people at the same time. |
| 11 وأمور آسا الاولى والاخيرة ها هي مكتوبة في سفر الملوك ليهوذا واسرائيل. | 11 The acts of Asa, from first to last, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. |
| 12 ومرض آسا في السنة التاسعة والثلاثين من ملكه في رجليه حتى اشتد مرضه وفي مرضه ايضا لم يطلب الرب بل الاطباء. | 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet, and his disease became severe; yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but sought help from physicians. |
| 13 ثم اضطجع آسا مع آبائه ومات في السنة الحادية والاربعين لملكه | 13 And Asa slept with his fathers, dying in the forty-first year of his reign. |
| 14 فدفنوه في قبوره التي حفرها لنفسه في مدينة داود واضجعوه في سرير كان مملوّا اطيابا واصنافا عطرة حسب صناعة العطارة واحرقوا له حريقة عظيمة جدا | 14 They buried him in the tomb which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David. They laid him on a bier which had been filled with various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumer's art; and they made a very great fire in his honor. |
