1 En el año treinta y seis del reinado de Asá, Basá, rey de Israel, le declaró la guerra a Judá y fortificó la ciudad Ramá con el fin de bloquear las rutas de comunicación de Judá.
1 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, 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.
2 La reacción de Asá fue tomar la plata y el oro del templo y del palacio real, y enviarlo a Ben Adad, rey de Siria, en Damasco, con este mensaje:
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of Yahweh’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,
3 «Te propongo que renovemos el pacto de seguridad mutua que existía entre tu padre y mi padre. Te envío esta plata y este oro para que rompas tu alianza con Basá, rey de Israel, con el fin de que se marche y me deje en paz».
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.”
4 Ben Adad accedió a la solicitud del rey Asá. Así que movilizó sus ejércitos para atacar a Israel. Destruyeron las ciudades de Iyón, Dan, Abel Mayin y todos los centros de aprovisionamiento de Neftalí.
4 Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 Tan pronto como Basá, rey de Israel, tuvo conocimiento de lo que ocurría, desistió de la fortificación de Ramá.
5 When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Luego el rey Asá y el pueblo de Judá se dirigieron a Ramá y se llevaron las piedras de construcción y la madera, para usarlas en la fortificación de Gueba y Mizpa.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
7 En aquel tiempo, el vidente Jananí fue a hablar con el rey Asá y le dijo: «Por cuanto has depositado tu confianza en el rey de Siria, en lugar de acudir al Señor tu Dios, el ejército del rey de Siria se ha escapado de tus manos.
7 At 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 the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand.
8 ¿No te acuerdas de lo que aconteció a los etíopes y a los libios y a su inmenso ejército con todos sus carros y jinetes? Ah, pero en aquella oportunidad pusiste tu confianza en el Señor, y él los entregó en tus manos.
8 Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he delivered them into your hand.
9 Porque los ojos del Señor recorren el mundo para poner su poder en favor de quienes le son fieles. ¡Te has conducido como un insensato, y de hoy en adelante habrá guerras contra ti!».
9 For Yahweh’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”
10 Asá estaba tan enojado con el vidente por haberle dicho esto, que lo mandó a la cárcel. Al mismo tiempo trató con crueldad a varias personas de la ciudad.
10 Then 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.
11 El resto de la biografía de Asá está escrita en el libro de los reyes de Israel y de Judá.
11 Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 En el año treinta y nueve de su reinado, Asá contrajo una grave enfermedad de los pies, pero no le presentó el problema al Señor, sino que confió en los médicos.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek Yahweh, but just the physicians.
13 Murió en el año cuarenta y uno de su reinado, y fue sepultado en su propia tumba, la cual había mandado a hacer en la ciudad de David, en Jerusalén. Lo pusieron sobre una camilla llena de perfumes y ungüentos aromáticos. Luego, en su honor, prendieron una inmensa hoguera.
13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 Not in this translation
14 They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, 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 fire for him.
