Chronicles II 14
1 And Abia died with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In the days of Asa the land of Juda had rest ten years.
Aa le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Abiià naho nalenteke an-drova’ i Davide ao, le nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Asa ana’e; nanintsiñe folo taoñe tañ’andro’e i taney.
2 And he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.
Nanao ze soa naho vantañe am-pihaino’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e t’i Asa;
3 And he removed the altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke the pillars in pieces, and cut down the groves:
amy te finao’e ze kitrely tsie naho o toets’ aboo naho nakoroma’e o vatolahio vaho finira’e o Asereo;
4 and he told Juda to seek earnestly the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and commandments.
naho linili’e te hipay Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo t’Iehoda, hañorike Hake naho o fepètseo.
5 And he removed from all the cities of Juda the altars and the idols, and established in quietness
Nafaha’e amo hene rova’ Iehodao o tambohoo naho o sare’ i àndroio; vaho nianjiñe añ’atrefa’e eo i taney.
6 fortified cities in the land of Juda; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in these years; for the Lord gave him rest.
Aa le namboare’e rova fatratse e Iehoda ao; amy te nanintsiñe i taney vaho tsy teo ty nialiañe amy taoñe rezay, ie nampitofà’ Iehovà.
7 And he said to Juda, Let us fortify these cities, and make walls, and towers, and gates, and bars: we shall prevail over the land, for as we have sought out the Lord our God, he has sought out us, and has given us rest round about, and prospered us.
Aa hoe ty natao’e am’Iehoda: Antao hamboatse o rova retoa, le harikatohen-tika kijoly naho fitalakesañ’ abo naho lalambey vaho sikadañe; añatrefan-tika eo i taney amy te nitsoehentika t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika naho nipaian-tika vaho nampitofae’e o mañohok’ antika iabio. Aa le namboatse iereo vaho niraorao.
8 And Asa had a force of armed men bearing shields and spears in the land of Juda, [even] three hundred thousand, and in the land of Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand targeteers and archers: all these were mighty warriors.
Le nanam-pirimboñan-dahindefoñe t’i Asa: mpitam-pikalañe naho lefoñe telo-hetse ty boak’ Iehodà ao; naho hirike Beniamine ao ty mpitam-pikalañe vaho mpitintim-pale, roe-hetse-tsi-valo-ale; songa maozatse naho nahasibeke.
9 And Zare the Ethiopian went out against them, with a force of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Maresa.
Teo te niavotse haname iareo t’i Zerake nte-Kose ninday valobohòke arivon’ arivo naho sarete telon-jato; le nivotrake e Maresà eo.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, and set the battle in array in the valley north of Maresa.
Niavotse mb’eo t’i Asa hifanalaka ama’e, le nalahatse am-bavatane’ i Zefate e Maresà eo i hotakotakey.
11 And Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, it is not impossible with thee to save by many or by few: strengthen us, O Lord our God; for we trust in thee, and in thy name have we come against this great multitude. O Lord our God, let not man prevail against thee.
Le nikaik’ am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’e t’i Asa, nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, tsy eo ty añ’ila’o mahafañolotse añivo’ ty maozatse naho ty po-hafatrarañe; oloro zahay ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay; amy te Ihe avao ty iatoa’ay vaho i tahina’oy ty ionjona’ay hiatreke o valobohòkeo. Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay; ko apo’o handrekets’ azo ondatio.
12 And the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Juda; and the Ethiopians fled.
Aa le zinama’ Iehovà añatrefa’ i Asa naho aolo’ Iehoda eo o nte-Koseo vaho nitriban-day o nte-Koseo.
13 And Asa and his people pursued them to Gedor; and the Ethiopians fell, so that they could not recover themselves; for they were crushed before the Lord, and before his host; and they took many spoils.
Aa le nihoridañe’ i Asa naho ondaty ama’eo pake Gerare; le akore ty hamaro’ o nte-Kose nibanibanìtseo kanao leo raike tsy nahatam-beloñe, ie niparatsàke añatrefa’ Iehovà naho aolo’ i valobohò’ey; vaho nendese’ iereo ty fikopaham-bey.
14 And they destroyed their towns roundabout Gedor; for a terror of the Lord was upon them: and they spoiled all their cities, for they had much spoil.
Linafa’ iereo o tanañe mañohoke i Gerare iabio; fa nampianifa’ Iehovà; naho fonga kinopa’ iareo o rovao vaho tsifotofoto ty vara tam’ iereo ao.
15 Also they destroyed the tents of cattle, and the Alimazons, and took many sheep and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Linafa’ iareo ka o kibohom-pitan-kareo, le tinava’ iareo ty añondry naho rameva maro vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime añe.
