< 2 Chronicles 14 >

1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
Pimmusay ni Abias ket intabonda isuna iti siudad ni David. Ni Asa a putotna ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari. Kadagiti aldawna, adda talna iti daga iti las-ud ti sangapulo a tawen.
2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God.
Inaramid ni Asa ti nasayaat ken nalinteg iti imatang ni Yahweh a Diosna,
3 For he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim,
ta inikkatna dagiti altar dagiti didiosen ken dagiti pagdaydayawan; rinebbana dagiti nasagradoan nga adigi a bato ken tinumbana dagiti tekken ni Asera.
4 and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
Binilinna ti Juda a sapulenda ni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanda, ken tungpalenda ti linteg ken dagiti bilinna.
5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images. And the kingdom was quiet before him.
Inikkatna pay dagiti pagdaydayawan ken dagiti altar a pagpupuoran iti insenso kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda. Natalna ti pagarian ti Juda iti babaen ti turayna.
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah. For the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because Jehovah had given him rest.
Nangibangon isuna kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad idiay Juda, ta adda talna iti daga, ken awan ti gubat kadagidiay nga aldaw, gapu ta inikkan isuna ni Yahweh iti talna.
7 For he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God. We have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
Ta kinuna ni Asa iti Juda, “Bangonentayo dagitoy a siudad ken paderantayo ti aglawlaw dagitoy, agaramidtayo kadagiti torre, kadagiti ruangan ken kadagiti balunet; kukuatayo pay laeng ti daga gapu ta sinapultayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo. Sinapultayo isuna, ket inikkannatayo iti talna iti aglawlaw.” Isu a nangbangonda ket nagballigida.
8 And Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand. All these were mighty men of valor.
Addaan ni Asa iti armada a nakaawit kadagiti kalasag ken gayang; addaan isuna iti 300, 000 a lallaki manipud iti Juda ken 280, 000 a lallaki manipud iti Benjamin a nakaawit kadagiti kalasag ken kadagiti pana. Amin dagitoy ket mamaingel ken natutured a lallaki.
9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a million, and three hundred chariots. And he came to Mareshah.
Rinaut ida ni Zera a taga-Etiopia a kaduana ti armadana a buklen ti maysa a milyon a soldado ken tallo gasut a karuahe; dimteng isuna idiay Maresa.
10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Ket napan sinabat ni Asa isuna, sada nagpuesto iti tanap ti Zefata idiay Maresa.
11 And Asa cried to Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, there is none besides thee to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, O Jehovah our God. For we rely on thee, and in thy name we come against this multitude. O Jehovah, thou are our God. Let not man prevail against thee.
Immawag ni Asa kenni Yahweh a Diosna, a kunana, “O Yahweh, awanen sabali no di sika laeng ti makatulong iti awan pigsana inton adu ti sarangetenna. Tulongannakami O Yahweh a Diosmi, ta agtalekkami kenka, ket iti naganmo, sarangetenmi daytoy nga adu unay a soldado. O Yahweh, sika ti Diosmi; saanmo nga ipalubos a parmekennaka ti tao.”
12 So Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah. And the Ethiopians fled.
Isu a dinangran ni Yahweh dagiti taga-Etiopia iti sangoanan ni Asa ken ti Juda; naglibas dagiti taga-Etiopia.
13 And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. And there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves. For they were destroyed before Jehovah, and before his army. And they carried away very much booty.
Kinamat ida ni Asa ken dagiti soldado a kaduana agingga idiay Gerar. Isu nga adu unay a taga-Etiopia ti napasag ket saandan a makabangon, ta naan-anay a nadadaelda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ken iti armadana. Nakaad-adu unay ti sinamsam ti armada ni Asa.
14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar. For the fear of Jehovah came upon them. And they despoiled all the cities. For there was much spoil in them.
Dinadael ti armada dagiti amin a barrio iti aglawlaw ti Gerar, ta immay kadagiti agnanaed sadiay ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh. Sinamsaman ti armada dagiti amin a barrio, ket adu unay ti masamsam kadagitoy.
15 They also smote the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Dinadael met ti armada dagiti tolda a pagnanaedan dagiti agipaspastor; innalada dagiti adu a karnero, kasta met dagiti kamelio, sada nagsubli idiay Jerusalem.
