2 Chronicles 14
1 Then Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And his son, Asa, reigned in his place. During his days, the land was quiet for ten years.
Konsa, Abija te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan lavil David la. Fis li a, Asa, te vin wa nan plas li. Peyi a te rete kalm e san pwoblèm pandan dizan pandan jou li yo.
2 Now Asa did what was good and pleasing in the sight of his God. And he overturned the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
Asa te fè byen ak sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, Bondye li a,
3 And he broke apart the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves.
paske li te retire lotèl etranje yo avèk wo plas yo, e li te chire pilye sakre yo avèk Asherim yo.
4 And he instructed Judah that they should seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, and that they should carry out the law and all the commandments.
Li te kòmande Juda pou chache SENYÈ a zansèt yo a, e swiv lalwa avèk kòmandman an.
5 And he took away, from all the cities of Judah, the altars and the shrines. And he reigned in peace.
Li te osi retire wo plas yo avèk lotèl lansan yo soti nan tout vil Juda yo. Wayòm nan te rete kalm anba li.
6 Also, he built fortified cities in Judah. For it was quiet, and in his time no wars had arisen. For the Lord was generously granting peace.
Li te bati vil fòtifye Juda yo, akoz peyi a te san pwoblèm e pa t gen okenn moun ki te fè lagè avèk li pandan ane sila yo, akoz SENYÈ a te ba li repo.
7 Then he said to Judah: “Let us build these cities, and strengthen them with walls, and fortify them with towers and gates and bars, while all things are at rest from wars. For we have sought the Lord, the God of our fathers, and he has granted to us peace on every side.” And so they built, and there was nothing to impede them from building.
Paske li te di a Juda: “Annou bati vil sila yo e antoure yo avèk miray avèk wo tou, pòtay avèk ba an fè. Peyi a toujou pou nou akoz nou te chache SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou te chache Li, e Li te bannou repo sou tout kote.” Konsa yo te bati e yo te byen reyisi.
8 Now Asa had in his army three hundred thousand men of Judah, carrying shields and spears, and truly, of Benjamin, two hundred eighty thousand men with shields and bows. All of these were very valiant men.
Alò, Asa te gen yon lame a twa-san-mil mesye soti nan Juda, avèk gran boukliye defans ak lans e de-san-katreven-mil soti nan Benjamin ki te pote boukliye defans e te manyen banza. Tout nan yo, te gèrye ki plen kouraj.
9 Then Zerah, the Ethiopian, went forth against them with his army of one million men, and three hundred chariots. And he approached as far as Mareshah.
Alò, Zérach, Etyopyen an, te vin parèt kont yo avèk yon lame a yon-milyon moun ak twa-san cha, e li te rive nan Maréscha.
10 And Asa traveled to meet him, and he set up a battle line for the war in the Valley of Zephathah, which is near Mareshah.
Pou sa, Asa te sòti pou rankontre li, e yo te parèt nan chan batay yo nan vale Maréschja a.
11 And he called upon the Lord God, and he said: “O Lord, there is no difference to you, whether you assist by few, or by many. Help us, O Lord our God. For having faith in you and in your name, we have gone forth against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God. Do not allow man to prevail against you.”
Konsa, Asa te rele SENYÈ a, Bondye li a. Li te di: “SENYÈ, nanpwen lòt sof ke Ou menm pou ede pami pwisan yo, ak sila ki san fòs. Pou sa, ede nou, O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an; paske nou mete konfyans nan Ou, e nan non Ou, nou te vini kont gran foul sila a. O SENYÈ, se Ou ki Bondye nou an. Pa kite lòm pran viktwa kont Ou menm.”
12 And so the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah. And the Ethiopians fled.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te boulvèse Etyopyen devan Asa yo ak devan Juda yo, e Etyopyen yo te sove ale.
13 And Asa, and the people who were with him, pursued them as far as Gerar. And the Ethiopians fell, even unto utter destruction, for the Lord was striking, and his army was battling, and they were destroyed. Therefore, they took many spoils.
Asa avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te kouri dèyè yo jis rive Guérar. Yon tèlman gran kantite Etyopyen te tonbe ke yo pa t kab kanpe ankò; paske yo te kraze nèt devan SENYÈ a ak devan lame Li a. Lame Juda a te pote fè sòti yon trè gran piyaj.
14 And they struck all the cities surrounding Gerar. For indeed, a great fear had overwhelmed everyone. And they despoiled the cities, and they carried away much plunder.
Yo te detwi tout vil ki te antoure Guérar yo, paske laperèz SENYÈ a te fin tonbe sou vil yo. Epi yo te depouye tout vil yo, paske yo te gen anpil piyaj.
15 Then too, destroying the fencing for the sheep, they took an innumerable multitude of cattle and camels. And they returned to Jerusalem.
Anplis, yo te touye sila ki te gen bèt yo, e yo te pote ale yon gran kantite mouton avèk chamo. Answit, yo te retounen Jérusalem.
