< 2 Chronicles 14 >

1 Then Abijah rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Asa reigned in his place, and in his days the land was at peace for ten years.
A HIAMOE o Abiia me kona mau kupuna, a kanu lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida; a noho alii iho la o Asa, kana keiki mahope ona. I kona mau la, ua maluhia ka aina i na makahiki he umi.
2 And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
Hana iho la o Asa i ka maikai a me ka pololei, imua o Iehova kona Akua.
3 He removed the foreign altars and high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and chopped down the Asherah poles.
Lawe aku la oia i na kuahu o na akua e, a me na wahi kiekie, wawahi iho la oia i na kii, kulai no hoi i na kii o Asetarota.
4 He commanded the people of Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandments.
A kauoha ae la oia i ka Iuda e imi ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou kupuna, a e malama i kona kanawai, a me kana kauoha.
5 He also removed the high places and incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and under him the kingdom was at peace.
Lawe aku la ia mailoko aku o na kulanakauhale a pau o Iuda, i na wahi kiekie, a me na kii; a maluhia iho la ke aupuni imua ona.
6 Because the land was at peace, Asa built fortified cities in Judah. In those days no one made war with him, because the LORD had given him rest.
A kukulu iho la ia i na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa ma Iuda; no ka mea, ua maluhia ka aina, aohe ona kaua i kela mau makahiki, no ka mea, hoomalu mai o Iehova ia ia.
7 So he said to the people of Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, with doors and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought the LORD our God. We have sought Him and He has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.
Olelo aku la oia i ka Iuda, Ina kakou, e kukulu kakou i keia mau kulanakauhale, e hana a puni i na pa, a me na halekiai, a me na ipuka, a me na mea e paa ai, oiai ka aina ia kakou; no ka mea, ua imi kakou ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, ua imi no kakou, a ua hoomalu mai ia ia kakou a puni: a kukulu ae la lakou me ka pomaikai.
8 Asa had an army of 300,000 men from Judah bearing large shields and spears, and 280,000 men from Benjamin bearing small shields and drawing the bow. All these were mighty men of valor.
Aia ia Asa he poe koa, he poe lawe palekaua a me na ihe, noloko mai o Iuda ekolu haneri tausani; a noloko mai o Beniamina, he poe lawe i na aahuapoo, a he poe lena i na kakaka, elua haneri a me kanawalu tausani; he poe koa ikaika keia poe a pau loa.
9 Then Zerah the Cushite came against them with an army of 1,000,000 men and 300 chariots, and they advanced as far as Mareshah.
A hele mai io lakou la o Zera no Aitiopa mai me ka poe koa, hookahi tausani tausani, a me na kaa kaua ekolu haneri, a hiki mai lakou i Maresa.
10 So Asa marched out against him and lined up in battle formation in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
A hele ku e o Asa ia ia, a hoonohonoho i ke kaua ma ke awawa o Zepata ma Maresa.
11 Then Asa cried out to the LORD his God: “O LORD, there is no one besides You to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on You, and in Your name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God. Do not let a mere mortal prevail against You.”
A kahea aku la o Asa ia Iehova, i kona Akua, i aku la, E Iehova, ua like wale no ia oe ke kokua mamuli o ka poe lehulehu, a mamuli hoi o ka poe ikaika ole: e kokua mai ia makou, e Iehova ko makou Akua; no ka mea, ke hilinai aku nei makou ia oe, a ma kou inoa makou e hele ku e aku ai i keia poe lehulehu. E Iehova, o oe no ko makou Akua; mai noho oe a lanakila ke kanaka maluna ou.
12 So the LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah, and the Cushites fled.
Alaila, luku mai la o Iehova i ko Aitiopa imua o Asa, a imua o ka Iuda; a auhee aku la ko Aitiopa.
13 Then Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. The Cushites fell and could not recover, for they were crushed before the LORD and His army. So the people of Judah carried off a great amount of plunder
Alualu aku la o Asa a me na kanaka me ia a hiki i Gerara; haule ko Aitiopa, aole i hiki ia lakou ke ola; no ka mea, ua lukuia lakou imua o Iehova, a imua o kona poe koa, a ua lawe lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui loa.
14 and attacked all the cities around Gerar, because the terror of the LORD had fallen upon them. They plundered all the cities, since there was much plunder there.
A luku lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau a puni o Gerara, no ka mea, maluna o lakou ka makau ia Iehova; a hoopio lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau; a he nui loa ka waiwai pio iloko olaila.
15 They also attacked the tents of the herdsmen and carried off many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
A luku lakou i na halelewa o na holoholona, a lawe aku la lakou i na hipa a me na kamelo he nui loa, a hoi lakou i Ierusalema.
