2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years.
Abiya ku eye woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me. Via ŋutsu, Asa, zu fia ɖe eteƒe eye le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ŋkekewo me la, ŋutifafa nɔ dukɔ la me ƒe ewo sɔŋ
2 And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God;
elabena Asa wɔ nu si dza le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkume.
3 For he took away the altars of strange gods and the high places, and had the upright stones broken and the wood pillars cut down;
Egbã trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpui siwo nɔ togbɛawo dzi kple woƒe aƒeliwo, emu Aserim legbawo ƒu anyi
4 And he made Judah go after the Lord, the God of their fathers, and keep his laws and his orders.
eye wòɖe gbe be, dukɔ blibo la nawɔ Yehowa, wo tɔgbuiwo ƒe Mawu la ƒe sewo dzi.
5 And he took away the high places and the sun-images from all the towns of Judah; and the kingdom was quiet under his rule.
Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, eɖe ɣelegbawo ɖa le togbɛawo dzi kple dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo ɖa le Yuda duwo me. Esia ta Mawu na ŋutifafa nɔ eƒe fiaduƒe me.
6 He made walled towns in Judah, for the land was quiet and there were no wars in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.
Nu sia na wòte ŋu tso duwo eye wòɖo gli ƒo xlã wo le Yudanyigba la ƒe akpa sia akpa.
7 He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.
Fia Asa gblɔ na eƒe amewo be, “Esi Yehowa yra mí eye ŋutifafa le míaƒe anyigba dzi le esi míeɖo toe ta la, mina míatso duwo fifia eye míaglã wo kple gliwo, xɔ tsralawo, agbowo kple gamedetiwo.” Ale wowɔ nu siawo eye nu sia nu dze edzi nyuie.
8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war.
Aʋawɔla akpe alafa etɔ̃ tso Yuda ƒe viwo dome nɔ Fia Asa ƒe aʋakɔ me. Akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔwo kple akplɔwo nɔ wo si. Ame akpe alafa eve blaenyi tso Benyamin ƒe viwo dome nɔ eƒe aʋakɔ la me eye akpoxɔnu gãtɔwo kple datiwo kple aŋutrɔwo nɔ wo si. Wohe aʋawɔlawo katã tso to eveawo me eye wonye kalẽtɔwo.
9 And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah.
Zera, Kusitɔ, ho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu kple aʋakɔ gã aɖe kple tasiaɖam alafa etɔ̃ eye wova ɖo keke Maresa.
10 And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah.
Asa do go yi be yeakpee eye eƒe amewo dze aʋa ɖi ɖe Zefata bali la me te ɖe Maresa ŋu.
11 And Asa made prayer to the Lord his God and said, Lord, you only are able to give help against the strong to him who has no strength; come to our help, O Lord our God, for our hope is in you, and in your name we have come out against this great army. O Lord, you are our God; let not man's power be greater than yours.
Fia Asa do ɣli na Mawu be, “Oo Yehowa, ame bubu aɖeke mate ŋu akpe ɖe mía ŋu o! Míate ŋu anɔ te ɖe aʋakɔ gã sesẽ sia nu o. Oo, xɔ na mí, Yehowa míaƒe Mawu elabena wò ɖeka ko ŋue míeɖo ŋu ɖo be, àxɔ na mí eye le wò ŋkɔ mee míele aʋa kpem kple futɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ gã sia. Mègana amegbetɔ siwo mele ɖeke me o la, naɖu dziwò o!”
12 So the Lord sent fear on the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah; and the Ethiopians went in flight.
Yehowa na Asa kple Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖu Kustɔwo dzi eye Kustɔwo si.
13 And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they took away a great amount of their goods.
Asa ƒe amewo nya wo yi keke Gerar ke eye wofiti Kustɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ale gbegbe be, ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o elabena Yehowa kple eƒe aʋakɔ la tsrɔ̃ wo katã. Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ la ha aboyonu geɖewo ŋutɔ.
14 And they overcame all the towns round Gerar, because the Lord sent fear on them; and they took away their goods from the towns, for there were stores of wealth in them.
Esi wonɔ Gerar la, wodze du siwo katã nɔ nuto me ma la dzi eye Yehowa na vɔvɔ̃ ɖo afi ma tɔwo. Le esia ta wogaha aboyonu geɖewo le du siawo hã me.
15 And they made an attack on the tents of the owners of the cattle, and took away great numbers of sheep and camels and went back to Jerusalem.
Womeha nuwo ɖeɖe ko le duawo me o, ke boŋ wogbã lãhawo ƒe agbadɔwo hã eye wokplɔ ale kple kposɔ geɖewo dzoe va Yerusalem.
