< 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.
Abija sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Asa, nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya. Udo dịkwa afọ iri nʼụbọchị ịbụ eze ya.
2 And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.
Asa mere ihe dị mma na nke ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ya.
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,
Ọ wezugakwara ebe ịchụ aja nke chi ọzọ niile dị nʼugwu, tipịa ogidi nsọ niile, gbujasịakwa ogidi Ashera.
4 And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement.
O nyere Juda iwu ka ha chọọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke nna ha, ka ha debekwa iwu ya na ụkpụrụ ya niile.
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.
O wezugakwara ebe niile a na-efe arụsị nʼelu ugwu, bibiekwa ebe niile a na-esure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼobodo Juda. Alaeze ahụ nwekwara udo nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya.
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.
O wuru ọtụtụ obodo e ji mgbidi gbaa gburugburu nʼala Juda niile. O nweghị onye busoro ya agha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nyere ya udo.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ gwara ndị Juda sị ha, “Ugbu a ka anyị kwesiri iwu obodo ndị a. Ka anyị wuokwa mgbidi gburugburu ha, wuokwa ụlọ elu nche, tinyesịa ha niile ibo ọnụ ụzọ ama, na mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ya, ala a bụ nke anyị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke onye anyị ji obi anyị chọsie ike enyela anyị udo.” Ya mere, ha wuru ihe ndị a niile nwekwa ọganihu.
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.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị agha Asa ndị si Juda nʼoge ahụ bụ narị puku atọ. Ngwa agha ha ji bụ ọta ukwu na ùbe. Ndị agha ya ọzọ si Benjamin dị narị puku abụọ na iri puku mmadụ asatọ. Ndị a jikwa ọta na ụta. Ndị agha ndị a niile bụ ndị a zụziri azụzi, bụrụkwa ndị dị ike.
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, bụ onye Kush duru puku kwụrụ puku, na narị ụgbọ agha atọ, bịaruo Maresha ibuso Juda agha.
10 Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battell in aray in the valley of Zephathah beside Mareshah.
Asa pụrụ izute ya. Ha doro onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha na Ndagwurugwu Zefata nke dị Maresha nso.
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.
Mgbe ahụ, Asa kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, si, “Onyenwe anyị ọ dịghị onye dịka gị nʼinyere onye na-adịghị ike aka nʼihu onye dị ike nke ukwuu. Nyere anyị aka, O Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, nʼihi na anyị dabere na gị. Ọ bụkwa nʼaha gị ka anyị na-apụ ibuso igwe a agha. O Onyenwe anyị i bụ Chineke anyị. Ekwela ka ọ bụrụ na mmadụ efu meriri gị.”
12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.
Onyenwe anyị tigbukwara ndị Kush niile ahụ nʼihu Asa na Juda. Ndị Kush gbakwara ọsọ.
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.
Asa na ndị agha ya chụrụ ha ọsọ chụruo ha obodo Gera ebe ọtụtụ ndị Kush dara, ruo na o nwekwaghị onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼime ha. E tigburu ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị na ndị agha ya. Ndị Juda bukọọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼagha dị iche iche.
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.
Ha bibiri obodo niile gbara Gera gburugburu, nʼihi na egwu Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị obodo ndị ahụ niile. Ndị Juda bukọọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼihi na ọtụtụ ihe dị nʼobodo ndị ahụ.
15 Yea, and they smote the tents of cattel, and carried away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Ierusalem.
Ha busokwara ebe obibi ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ agha, chikọrọ igwe atụrụ na ewu na ịnyịnya kamel. Emesịa ha laghachiri Jerusalem.
