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.
Abijah sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi. Asa ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀. Ní àwọn ọjọ́ rẹ̀, orílẹ̀-èdè wà ní àlàáfíà fún ọdún mẹ́wàá.
2 And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God;
Asa ṣe ohun tí ó dára, tí ó sì tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
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;
Ó gbé àwọn pẹpẹ àjèjì kúrò àti àwọn ibi gíga. Ó fọ́ àwọn òkúta tí a yà sọ́tọ̀, ó sì gé àwọn ère Aṣerah bolẹ̀.
4 And he made Judah go after the Lord, the God of their fathers, and keep his laws and his orders.
Ó pa á láṣẹ fún Juda láti wá Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba a wọn àti láti tẹ̀lé àwọn òfin rẹ̀ àti àṣẹ.
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.
Ó gbé àwọn ibi gíga kúrò àti àwọn pẹpẹ tùràrí ní gbogbo ìlú ní Juda. Ìjọba sì wà ní àlàáfíà ní abẹ́ rẹ̀.
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.
Ó mọ àwọn ìlú ààbò ti Juda, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ìlú ti wà ní àlàáfíà. Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni ti o jagun pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nígbà náà, nítorí Olúwa fún un ní ìsinmi.
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.
“Ẹ jẹ́ kí a kọ́ àwọn ìlú wọ̀nyí,” ó wí fún Juda, “kí ẹ sì mọ odi yí wọn ká pẹ̀lú àwọn ilé ìṣọ́ gíga, àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà òde, àti àwọn ìpẹ́ẹ̀rẹ̀. Ilé náà ti wà, nítorí a ti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa; a béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì ti fún wa ní ìsinmi ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kọ́ ọ, wọn sì ṣe rere.
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.
Asa ní àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti ó jẹ́ ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àwọn ọkùnrin láti Juda. Pẹ̀lú àwọn ohun èlò àwọn àpáta ńlá àti ọ̀kọ̀ àti ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rìnlá láti Benjamini wọ́n dira pẹ̀lú àwọn àpáta kéékèèké àti àwọn ọrun. Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ògbójú jagunjagun ọkùnrin.
9 And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah.
Sera ará Etiopia yàn láti dojúkọ wọ́n, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀ ọmọ-ogun pẹ̀lú ọ̀ọ́dúnrún kẹ̀kẹ́, wọ́n sì wá láti jìnnà réré bí Meraṣa.
10 And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah.
Asa jáde lọ láti lọ bá a. Wọ́n sì mú ibi ogun ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Sefata lẹ́bàá Meraṣa.
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.
Nígbà náà, Asa ké pe Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba a rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé “Olúwa kò sí ẹnìkan bí rẹ láti rán aláìlágbára lọ́wọ́ láti dójú kọ alágbára. Ràn wá lọ́wọ́, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, nítorí tí àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ àti ní orúkọ rẹ ni àwa fi wá láti dojúkọ àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ọmọ-ogun yìí. Olúwa, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run wa; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ènìyàn kó ṣẹ́gun rẹ.”
12 So the Lord sent fear on the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah; and the Ethiopians went in flight.
Olúwa lu àwọn ará Kuṣi bolẹ̀ níwájú Asa àti Juda. Àwọn ará Kuṣi sálọ.
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 àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ sá tẹ̀lé wọn ní jìnnà réré sí Gerari. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, àwọn ará Kuṣi ṣubú, wọn kò sì le sán padà mọ́. Wọn rún wọn mọ́lẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa àti ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀. Àwọn ọkùnrin Juda kó ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìkógun.
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.
Wọ́n pa gbogbo àwọn ìletò tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá Gerari, nítorí tí ìpayà Olúwa ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ sórí wọn. Wọ́n kó gbogbo ìkógun àwọn ìletò yìí lọ, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ ìkógun ti wà níbẹ̀.
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.
Wọ́n kọlu àwọn ibùdó àwọn darandaran, wọ́n sì gbé àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àgùntàn àti àwọn ewúrẹ́ àti àwọn ìbákasẹ. Nígbà náà wọ́n padà sí Jerusalẹmu.
