2 Chronicles 14
1 And Abia 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.
Lè Abija mouri, yo antere l' lavil David la. Se Asa, pitit gason li, ki moute wa nan plas li. Sou rèy Asa, peyi a viv ak kè poze pandan dizan.
2 And Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
Asa te fè sa ki byen ak sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye l' la.
3 And broke the statues, and cut down the groves.
Li fè disparèt tout lotèl yo te bati pou bondye lòt nasyon yo ak tout kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou yo. Li fè kraze zidòl yo, li koupe estati Achera yo voye jete.
4 And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.
Li bay tout moun Jida yo lòd pou yo mache dapre volonte Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, pou yo fè tou sa ki nan lalwa ak nan kòmandman Bondye yo.
5 And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.
Li fè disparèt tout kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou lòt bondye yo ansanm ak lotèl pou boule lansan pou yo nan dènye lavil nan peyi Jida a. Se konsa, pandan tout rèy li, peyi a t'ap viv ak kè poze.
6 He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace.
Pandan tout tan sa a, peyi a pa t' nan dezòd, ni li pa t' nan fè lagè ak pesonn, paske Seyè a te ba li chans viv ak kè poze. Wa a pwofite tout tan sa yo, li bati gwo ranpa pou pwoteje lavil peyi Jida yo.
7 And he said to Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building.
Li di moun peyi Jida yo: -Annou ranfòse defans lavil yo! Annou bati miray ranpa ak fò pou pwoteje yo ak pòtay solid ak gwo ba pou fèmen yo. Peyi a nan men nou toujou, paske nou te fè volonte Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se li menm ki pwoteje nou, li fè nou viv byen san kont ak tout vwazen nou yo. Se konsa yo mete men nan travay la jouk yo fini l'.
8 And Asa had in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men.
Wa Asa te gen yon gwo lame. Nan lame a te gen twasanmil (300.000) sòlda moun branch fanmi Jida ki te gen plak pwotèj ak frenn, plis desankatreven mil (280.000) sòlda moun branch fanmi Benjamen ki te gen plak pwotèj ak banza pou voye flèch. Yo tout te vanyan sòlda.
9 And Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa.
Yon moun peyi Letiopi yo te rele Zera vin anvayi peyi Jida ak yon lame ki te gen yon milyon sòlda ansanm ak twasan (300) cha lagè. Yo vanse jouk lavil Marecha.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa:
Asa soti ak lame pa l' la al kontre avè l'. De lame yo pran pozisyon nan fon Zefata a, toupre Marecha.
11 And he called upon the Lord God, and said: O Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name, we are come against this multitude. O Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee.
Asa lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye li a, li di l' konsa: -Bondye sèl Mèt, kit w'ap ede yon gwo, kit w'ap ede yon piti, pou ou se menm bagay la. Tanpri, vin ede nou koulye a, Seyè, Bondye nou an, paske se sou ou nou konte. Se nan non ou nou vin goumen ak bann moun sa yo. Seyè, se ou menm ki Bondye nou. Fè wè pesonn pa ka kenbe tèt avè ou!
12 And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: and the Ethiopians fled.
Se konsa, Seyè a fè Asa ak lame peyi Jida a bat lame Letiopi a. Lame Letiopi a kouri met deyò.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils,
Men Asa ak sòlda li yo kouri dèyè yo jouk lavil Gera. Yo touye sòlda lame Letiopi yo, yo pa kite yonn ladan yo chape. Seyè a te kraze yo tout ak lame li a. Lame a pran yon pakèt bagay lènmi yo te kite.
14 And they took all the cities round about Gerara: for a great fear was come upon all men: and they pillaged the cities, and carried off much booty.
Lèfini, yo detwi tout ti bouk ki te nan zòn Gera a, paske moun la yo te pè Seyè a anpil. Lame Jida a piye lavil yo. Yo pote anpil anpil bagay ale paske moun sa yo te gen anpil byen.
15 And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.
Yo atake gadò mouton yo anba tant yo. Yo pran yon bon valè mouton ak chamo. Apre sa, yo tounen tounen yo lavil Jerizalèm.
