2 Weche Mag Ndalo 14
1 Kendo Abija notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Asa wuode nobedo ruoth kare kendo e kinde mar lochne ne nitiere kwe kuom higni apar.
And Abijah lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns in his stead. In his days the land was quiet [for] ten years.
2 Asa notimo gik mabeyo kendo makare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.
And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,
3 Nogolo kende mag misango mag pinje ma oko kaachiel gi kuonde motingʼore malo komuko kite milamo kendo ngʼado sirni mag Ashera.
and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,
4 Nochiwo ne Juda chik ni mondo omany Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi kendo orit chikene kod buchene.
and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;
5 Nomuko kuonde motingʼore malo kod kende mag misango miwangʼoe ubani e miech Juda, kendo pinyruoth nobedo gi kwe e ndalone.
and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
6 Nogero mier madongo mag Juda mochiel gohinga motegno nimar piny ne nigi kwe. Onge ngʼama ne kedo kode ndalogo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiye yweyo.
And he builds cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land has quiet; and there is no war with him in these years, because YHWH has given rest to him.
7 Asa nowacho ne jo-Juda niya, “Wageruru miechgi kendo waket ohinga molworogi man-gi kuonde maboyo mag ngʼicho gi rangeye kod lodi milorogi godo. Piny pod marwa nimar waseluwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, newaluwe to en nomiyowa yweyo koni gi koni.” Omiyo negigedo kendo negidhi nyime maber.
And he says to Judah, “Let us build these cities, and surround [them] with wall, and towers, double gates, and bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought our God YHWH, we have sought, and He gives rest to us all around”; and they build and prosper.
8 Asa ne nigi jolweny ma jo-Juda alufu mia adek moritore gi kuodi madongo kod tonge, kod jo-Benjamin alufu mia ariyo gi piero aboro manoritore gi okumba gi atungʼ. Magi duto ne gin jolweny mathuondi mager.
And Asa has a force of three hundred thousand from Judah carrying buckler and spear, and two hundred and eighty thousand from Benjamin carrying shield and treading bow; all these [are] mighty men of valor.
9 Zera ja-Kush nomonjogi kod jolweny mangʼeny kaachiel gi geche mag lweny mia adek manobiro nyaka Maresha.
And Zerah the Cushite comes out to them with a force of one million [men] and three hundred chariots, and he comes to Mareshah,
10 Asa nodhi mondo orom kode kendo negikawo kuondegi mag lweny e Holo mar Zefatha man but Maresha.
and Asa goes out before him, and they set in array [for] battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 Eka Asa noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache kowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, onge ngʼato moro machalo kodi manyalo konyo joma nyap kuom joma roteke makmana in. Yie ikonywa nikech wageno kuomi yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa kendo wabiro rado gi jolweny mangʼenygi nikech Nyingi. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye in Nyasachwa kik iwe dhano adhana loyi.”
And Asa calls to his God YHWH and says, “YHWH, it is nothing for You to help, between the mighty and those who have no power; help us, O YHWH, our God, for we have leaned on You, and in Your Name we have come against this multitude; O YHWH, You [are] our God; do not let mortal man prevail against You!”
12 Eka Jehova Nyasaye nonego jo-Kush e nyim Asa kod Juda. Jo-Kush noringo
And YHWH strikes the Cushim before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
13 kendo Asa kod jolweny mage nolawogi nyaka Gerar. Jo-Kush mangʼeny nonegi mane ok ginyal konyo nikech Jehova Nyasaye gi jolweny mage ema notimo mano. Jo-Juda noyako gik mangʼeny ahinya.
and Asa and the people who [are] with him pursue them even to Gerar, and there falls [many] from the Cushim, for they have no preserving, because they have been broken before YHWH and before His camp; and [those of Judah] carry away very much spoil,
14 Negiketho mier matindo duto mokiewo gi Gerar nikech luoro moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye nomakogi. Ne giyako mier duto mane ni kanyo nikech ne nitiere gik moko mangʼeny kanyo.
and strike all the cities around Gerar, for a fear of YHWH has been on them, and they spoil all the cities, for abundant spoil has been in them;
15 Negituro kunde dhok kendo negipeyo rombe, diek kod ngamia mathoth bangʼe negidok Jerusalem.
and they have also struck tents of livestock, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and return to Jerusalem.
