2 Chronicles 14
1 And Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
Kendo Abija notho kaka kwerene kendo noyike e Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Asa wuode nobedo ruoth kare kendo e kinde mar lochne ne nitiere kwe kuom higni apar.
2 And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of Jehovah his God;
Asa notimo gik mabeyo kendo makare e nyim Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache.
3 and he took away the altars of the strange [gods] and the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs;
Nogolo kende mag misango mag pinje ma oko kaachiel gi kuonde motingʼore malo komuko kite milamo kendo ngʼado sirni mag Ashera.
4 and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, and to practise the law and the commandment.
Nochiwo ne Juda chik ni mondo omany Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi kendo orit chikene kod buchene.
5 And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
Nomuko kuonde motingʼore malo kod kende mag misango miwangʼoe ubani e miech Juda, kendo pinyruoth nobedo gi kwe e ndalone.
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Jehovah had given him rest.
Nogero mier madongo mag Juda mochiel gohinga motegno nimar piny ne nigi kwe. Onge ngʼama ne kedo kode ndalogo nikech Jehova Nyasaye nomiye yweyo.
7 And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered.
Asa nowacho ne jo-Juda niya, “Wageruru miechgi kendo waket ohinga molworogi man-gi kuonde maboyo mag ngʼicho gi rangeye kod lodi milorogi godo. Piny pod marwa nimar waseluwo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa, newaluwe to en nomiyowa yweyo koni gi koni.” Omiyo negigedo kendo negidhi nyime maber.
8 And Asa had an army that bore targets and spears: out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these, mighty men of valour.
Asa ne nigi jolweny ma jo-Juda alufu mia adek moritore gi kuodi madongo kod tonge, kod jo-Benjamin alufu mia ariyo gi piero aboro manoritore gi okumba gi atungʼ. Magi duto ne gin jolweny mathuondi mager.
9 And Zerah the Ethiopian came out against him with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
Zera ja-Kush nomonjogi kod jolweny mangʼeny kaachiel gi geche mag lweny mia adek manobiro nyaka Maresha.
10 And Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
Asa nodhi mondo orom kode kendo negikawo kuondegi mag lweny e Holo mar Zefatha man but Maresha.
11 And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, it maketh no difference to thee to help, whether there be much or no power: help us, O Jehovah our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name have we come against this multitude. Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
Eka Asa noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache kowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, onge ngʼato moro machalo kodi manyalo konyo joma nyap kuom joma roteke makmana in. Yie ikonywa nikech wageno kuomi yaye Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa kendo wabiro rado gi jolweny mangʼenygi nikech Nyingi. Yaye Jehova Nyasaye in Nyasachwa kik iwe dhano adhana loyi.”
12 And Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
Eka Jehova Nyasaye nonego jo-Kush e nyim Asa kod Juda. Jo-Kush noringo
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that none of them was left alive; for they were crushed before Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much spoil.
kendo Asa kod jolweny mage nolawogi nyaka Gerar. Jo-Kush mangʼeny nonegi mane ok ginyal konyo nikech Jehova Nyasaye gi jolweny mage ema notimo mano. Jo-Juda noyako gik mangʼeny ahinya.
14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the terror of Jehovah came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities, for there was very much spoil in them.
Negiketho mier matindo duto mokiewo gi Gerar nikech luoro moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye nomakogi. Ne giyako mier duto mane ni kanyo nikech ne nitiere gik moko mangʼeny kanyo.
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
Negituro kunde dhok kendo negipeyo rombe, diek kod ngamia mathoth bangʼe negidok Jerusalem.
