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.
А кад почину Авија код отаца својих и погребоше га у граду Давидовом, зацари се на његово место Аса, син његов. За његовог времена почину земља десет година.
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.
И чињаше Аса шта је добро и право пред Господом Богом његовим.
3 And broke the statues, and cut down the groves.
Јер обори олтаре туђе и висине, и изломи ликове њихове и исече лугове њихове.
4 And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.
И заповеди синовима Јудиним да траже Господа Бога отаца својих и да извршују закон и заповест Његову.
5 And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.
Обори по свим градовима Јудиним висине и сунчане ликове, и почину царство за његовог времена.
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.
И сазида тврде градове у земљи Јудиној, јер земља беше у миру, нити беше рата с њим оних година, јер му Господ даде мир.
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.
И рече Јуди: Да сазидамо ове градове и да их опашемо зидом и кулама и вратима и преворницама, док је земља наша; јер тражимо Господа Бога свог, тражисмо Га и даде нам мир одсвуда. И тако зидаше, и бише срећни.
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.
И имаше Аса војске триста хиљада од Јуде са штитовима и копљима, и од Венијамина двеста и осамдесет хиљада са штитовима и луковима. Сви беху храбри војници.
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.
И изиђе из њих Зара Етиопљанин с хиљаду хиљада војске и с триста кола, и дође до Марисе.
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:
И Аса изиђе преда њ; и уврсташе се војске у долини Сефати код Марисе.
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.
И завапи Аса ка Господу Богу свом говорећи: Господе Теби је ништа помоћи множини или нејаком; помози нам, Господе Боже наш, јер се у Те уздамо, и у Твоје име дођосмо на ово мноштво. Господе, Ти си Бог наш, не дај да може шта на Те човек.
12 And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: and the Ethiopians fled.
И разби Господ Етиопљане пред Асом и пред Јудом, и побегоше Етиопљани.
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,
И тера их Аса и народ који беше с њим дори до Герара. и попадаше Етиопљани да их ни један не оста жив, јер се сатрше пред Господом и пред војском Његовом; и они однесоше плен велик веома.
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.
И побише све градове око Герара, јер дође на њих страх Господњи, и опленише све оне градове, јер беше у њима много плена.
15 And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.
Побише и по становима пастирским људе, и одведоше много оваца и камила; и вратише се у Јерусалим.
