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.
И успе Авиа со отцы своими, и погребоша его во граде Давидове. И воцарися Аса сын его вместо его во дни же Асы почи земля Иудина лет десять.
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 сотвори Аса благое и правое пред Господем Богом своим:
3 And broke the statues, and cut down the groves.
и отверже олтари чуждых и высокая, и сокруши идолы и посече дубравы:
4 And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.
и повеле Иуде, да взыщет Господа Бога отец своих и да сотворит закон Его и заповеди:
5 And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.
и изверже из всех градов Иудиных олтари и идолы, и царствова в мире.
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 созда грады крепки в земли Иудине, зане в покои бысть земля, и не бе ему брани в лета сия, мир во Господь даде ему.
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.
Рече же Иуде: созиждем грады сия, и сотворим стены и столпы, и врата и вереи, дондеже землею господствуем: зане якоже взыскахом Господа Бога нашего, взыска и нас, и воздаде нам мир окрест, и благопоспешствова нам.
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 бысть сила Асе оруженосцев носящих щиты и копия в земли Иудине триста тысящ, в земли же Вениамини щитников и стрелцев двести осмьдесят тысящ: вси сии воини сильнии.
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.
Изыде же противу их Зарай Ефиоплянин с силою в тысящы тысящей, и колесниц триста, и прииде даже до Мариса.
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 изыде Аса противу ему и устрои брань в дебри на север Мариса.
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 возопи Аса ко Господу Богу своему и рече: Господи, не изнеможет у Тебе спасати во многих и в малых, укрепи нас, Господи Боже наш, яко на Тя уповахом и о имени Твоем изыдохом на множество многое сие: Господи Боже наш, Ты еси Бог, да не превозможет противу Тебе человек.
12 And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: and the Ethiopians fled.
И порази Господь Ефиопы пред Асою и Иудою и бежаша Ефиопи:
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 погна их Аса и людие его даже до Гедора: и падоша Ефиопи, даже не быти в них останку, яко сотрени быша пред Господем и пред силою Его, и плениша корысти многи:
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 изсекоша веси их окрест Гедора, велик бо страх Господень объят их, и плениша вся грады их, зане многи корысти быша в них:
15 And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.
и кущы скотския и амазонов изсекоша, и взяша скота множество и велблюды, и возвратишася во Иерусалим.
