2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abiiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade: in whose dayes the lande was quiet ten yeere.
Nake Abija akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo kũu Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Asa agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, na matukũ-inĩ make bũrũri ũgĩikara na thayũ mĩaka ikũmi.
2 And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.
Nake Asa agĩĩka maũndũ mega, na marĩa maagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wake.
3 For he tooke away the altars of the strange gods and the hie places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues,
Akĩeheria magongona ma ngai cia mabũrũri ma kũngĩ, na kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na agĩthethera mahiga marĩa maamũre, na agĩtemenga itugĩ cia Ashera.
4 And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement.
Nake agĩatha andũ a Juda marongorie Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao, na maathĩkĩre mawatho na maathani make.
5 And he tooke away out of all the cities of Iudah the hie places, and the images: therefore the kingdome was quiet before him.
Ningĩ akĩeheria mahooero ma kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na igongona cia ũbumba matũũra-inĩ mothe ma Juda, naguo ũthamaki ũcio aathaga wa Juda ũgĩikara na thayũ.
6 He built also strong cities in Iudah, because the lande was in rest, and he had no warre in those yeeres: for the Lord had giuen him rest.
Nĩaakire matũũra manene mairigĩre na thingo cia hinya ma Juda, nĩgũkorwo bũrũri warĩ na thayũ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ warĩ na mbaara nake mĩaka ĩyo, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamũheete ũhurũko.
7 Therefore he saide to Iudah, Let vs builde these cities and make walles about, and towers, gates, and barres, whiles the lande is before vs: because we haue sought the Lord our God, we haue sought him, and he hath giuen vs rest on euery side: so they built and prospered.
Nake akĩĩra andũ a Juda atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwakei matũũra maya na twake thingo cia kũmathiũrũrũkĩria irĩ na mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ, na ihingo na mĩgĩĩko ya igera. Bũrũri ũyũ no witũ, tondũ nĩtũrongoretie Jehova Ngai witũ; twamũrongoririe nake agĩtũhe ũhurũko na mĩena yothe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩaka na makĩgaacĩra.
8 And Asa had an armie of Iudah that bare shieldes and speares, three hundreth thousande, and of Beniamin that bare shieldes and drewe bowes, two hundreth and foure score thousande: all these were valiant men.
Asa aarĩ na mbũtũ ya thigari 300,000 iria cioimĩte Juda irĩ na ngo nene na matimũ, na ingĩ 280,000 iria cioimĩte Benjamini ikuuĩte ngo nini na mota. Ici ciothe ciarĩ thigari nyũmĩrĩru cia kũrũa mbaara.
9 And there came out against them Zerah of Ethiopia with an hoste of ten hundreth thousande, and three hundreth charets, and came vnto Mareshah.
Zera ũrĩa Mũkushi agĩũka kũmũũkĩrĩra arĩ na mbũtũ nene ya thigari na ngaari cia ita 300, nake agĩũka agĩkinya Maresha.
10 Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battell in aray in the valley of Zephathah beside Mareshah.
Nake Asa akiumagara agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga, nao makĩarania mbaara yao kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Zefathu gũkuhĩ na Maresha.
11 And Asa cryed vnto the Lord his God, and saide, Lord, it is nothing with thee to helpe with many, or with no power: helpe vs, O Lord our God: for we rest on thee, and in thy Name are we come against this multitude: O Lord, thou art our God, let not man preuaile against thee.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Asa agĩkaĩra Jehova Ngai wake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Jehova, gũtirĩ ũngĩ ũhaana tawe wa gũteithũra arĩa matarĩ hinya kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maarĩ hinya. Tũteithie, Wee Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe twĩhokete, na nĩ thĩinĩ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩaku tuoka gũũkĩrĩra mbũtũ ĩno nene ũũ. Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe Ngai witũ, ndũkareke mũndũ akũhoote.”
12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩũraga Akushi o hau mbere ya Asa na mbere ya andũ a Juda. Nao Akushi makĩũra,
13 And Asa and the people that was with him, pursued them vnto Gerar. And the Ethiopians hoste was ouerthrowen, so that there was no life in them: for they were destroyed before the Lord and before his hoste: and they caryed away a mightie great spoyle.
nake Asa na mbũtũ yake makĩmaingatithia, makĩmakinyia o nginya Gerari. Akushi aingĩ mũno makĩũragwo ũũ atĩ gũtirĩ watigirwo muoyo, makĩniinĩrwo o hau mbere ya Jehova o na mbere ya mbũtũ ciake. Andũ a Juda makĩinũkia indo nyingĩ iria maatahire.
14 And they smote all the cities rounde about Gerar: for the feare of the Lord came vpon them, and they spoyled all the cities, for there was exceeding much spoyle in them.
Makĩananga tũtũũra tuothe tũrĩa twathiũrũrũkĩirie Gerari, nĩgũkorwo guoya wa Jehova nĩwanyiitĩte andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo. Nao magĩtaha indo cia tũtũũra tũu tuothe nĩgũkorwo twarĩ na indo nyingĩ mũno cia gũtahwo.
15 Yea, and they smote the tents of cattel, and carried away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Ierusalem.
O na ningĩ magĩtharĩkĩra kambĩ cia arĩithi na magĩtaha ndũũru cia ngʼondu, na cia mbũri, na cia ngamĩĩra. Nao magĩcooka Jerusalemu.
