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.
Abiya akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Asa, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi. Na tango oyo Asa azalaki mokonzi, mokili ezalaki na kimia mibu zomi.
2 And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God.
Asa asalaki makambo ya malamu mpe ya sembo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
3 He removed the foreign altars and high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and chopped down the Asherah poles.
Alongolaki bitumbelo ya banzambe ya bapaya mpe bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, abukaki makonzi ya bule ya banzambe ya bikeko mpe akweyisaki makonzi ya bikeko ya nzambe mwasi Ashera.
4 He commanded the people of Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandments.
Apesaki mitindo na bato ya Yuda ete baluka Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, mpe batosa mibeko mpe malako na Ye.
5 He also removed the high places and incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and under him the kingdom was at peace.
Kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, mokonzi Asa alongolaki bisambelo nyonso ya likolo ya bangomba mpe bitumbelo malasi. Boye, na tango na ye, mokili ezalaki na kimia.
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.
Atongaki bingumba makasi kati na Yuda mpo ete mokili ezalaki na kimia. Na mibu wana, moto moko te abundisaki ye, pamba te Yawe apesaki ye bopemi.
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.
Alobaki na Yuda: « Totonga bingumba oyo, tozingela yango na bamir, na bandako milayi mpe na bikuke elongo na bikangelo na yango. Mokili ezali kati na bopemi liboso na biso, pamba te tolukaki Yawe, Nzambe na biso; tolukaki Ye, mpe Ye apesi biso bopemi na bangambo nyonso. » Boye, batongaki mpe balongaki na mabongisi na bango.
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.
Asa azalaki na mampinga ya basoda nkoto nkama misato ya bato ya Yuda, oyo bazalaki komema banguba minene mpe makonga, mpe ya basoda nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mwambe ya bato ya Benjame, oyo bazalaki komema banguba mike mpe kobeta matolotolo: bango nyonso bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba.
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.
Zera, moto ya Kushi, elongo na mampinga ya basoda monkoko moko mpe bashar nkama misato, abundisaki mampinga ya Asa mpe akomaki kino na Maresha.
10 So Asa marched out against him and lined up in battle formation in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
Asa abimelaki ye, mpe batandamaki na molongo ya bitumba na se ya Tsefata, pene ya Maresha.
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.”
Asa abelelaki Yawe, Nzambe na ye; alobaki: « Oh Yawe, moko te akokani na Yo, moko te akoki kosunga moto ya bolembu liboso ya moto na nguya. Oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, sunga biso! Pamba te totiaka elikya na biso kati na Yo. Ezali na Kombo na Yo nde toyaki kobundisa mampinga oyo ya monene. Oh Yawe, ozali Nzambe na biso! Tika ete moto alonga Yo te! »
12 So the LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah, and the Cushites fled.
Yawe abetaki bato ya Etiopi liboso ya Asa mpe Yuda, mpe bato ya Etiopi bakimaki.
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
Asa elongo na mampinga na ye balandaki bato ya Etiopi kino na Gerari. Bato bakufaki, bakokaki te kobikisa bomoi na bango, pamba te bango nyonso babebisamaki liboso ya Yawe mpe mampinga na Ye. Mampinga ya basoda ya Yuda bazwaki bomengo ebele ya bitumba;
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.
babebisaki bamboka nyonso oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya Gerari, pamba te Yawe akweyiselaki bango somo na Ye ya makasi. Bazwaki na makasi biloko kati na bingumba nyonso, pamba te biloko ya kozwa ezalaki ebele penza kati na yango.
15 They also attacked the tents of the herdsmen and carried off many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
Babebisaki mpe bitonga ya bibwele, bamemaki bantaba mpe bameme ebele elongo na bashamo. Bongo, bazongaki na Yelusalemi.
