< 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.
Abiya akendeki kokutana na bakoko na ye, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba ya Davidi. Asa, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi. Na tango oyo Asa azalaki mokonzi, mokili ezalaki na kimia mibu zomi.
2 And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.
Asa asalaki makambo ya malamu mpe ya sembo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
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,
Alongolaki bitumbelo ya banzambe ya bapaya mpe bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, abukaki makonzi ya bule ya banzambe ya bikeko mpe akweyisaki makonzi ya bikeko ya nzambe mwasi Ashera.
4 And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement.
Apesaki mitindo na bato ya Yuda ete baluka Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, mpe batosa mibeko mpe malako na Ye.
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.
Kati na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda, mokonzi Asa alongolaki bisambelo nyonso ya likolo ya bangomba mpe bitumbelo malasi. Boye, na tango na ye, mokili ezalaki na kimia.
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.
Atongaki bingumba makasi kati na Yuda mpo ete mokili ezalaki na kimia. Na mibu wana, moto moko te abundisaki ye, pamba te Yawe apesaki ye bopemi.
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.
Alobaki na Yuda: « Totonga bingumba oyo, tozingela yango na bamir, na bandako milayi mpe na bikuke elongo na bikangelo na yango. Mokili ezali kati na bopemi liboso na biso, pamba te tolukaki Yawe, Nzambe na biso; tolukaki Ye, mpe Ye apesi biso bopemi na bangambo nyonso. » Boye, batongaki mpe balongaki na mabongisi na bango.
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 azalaki na mampinga ya basoda nkoto nkama misato ya bato ya Yuda, oyo bazalaki komema banguba minene mpe makonga, mpe ya basoda nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mwambe ya bato ya Benjame, oyo bazalaki komema banguba mike mpe kobeta matolotolo: bango nyonso bazalaki bilombe ya bitumba.
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, moto ya Kushi, elongo na mampinga ya basoda monkoko moko mpe bashar nkama misato, abundisaki mampinga ya Asa mpe akomaki kino na Maresha.
10 Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battell in aray in the valley of Zephathah beside Mareshah.
Asa abimelaki ye, mpe batandamaki na molongo ya bitumba na se ya Tsefata, pene ya 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.
Asa abelelaki Yawe, Nzambe na ye; alobaki: « Oh Yawe, moko te akokani na Yo, moko te akoki kosunga moto ya bolembu liboso ya moto na nguya. Oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, sunga biso! Pamba te totiaka elikya na biso kati na Yo. Ezali na Kombo na Yo nde toyaki kobundisa mampinga oyo ya monene. Oh Yawe, ozali Nzambe na biso! Tika ete moto alonga Yo te! »
12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.
Yawe abetaki bato ya Etiopi liboso ya Asa mpe Yuda, mpe bato ya Etiopi bakimaki.
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 elongo na mampinga na ye balandaki bato ya Etiopi kino na Gerari. Bato bakufaki, bakokaki te kobikisa bomoi na bango, pamba te bango nyonso babebisamaki liboso ya Yawe mpe mampinga na Ye. Mampinga ya basoda ya Yuda bazwaki bomengo ebele ya bitumba;
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.
babebisaki bamboka nyonso oyo ezalaki zingazinga ya Gerari, pamba te Yawe akweyiselaki bango somo na Ye ya makasi. Bazwaki na makasi biloko kati na bingumba nyonso, pamba te biloko ya kozwa ezalaki ebele penza kati na yango.
15 Yea, and they smote the tents of cattel, and carried away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Ierusalem.
Babebisaki mpe bitonga ya bibwele, bamemaki bantaba mpe bameme ebele elongo na bashamo. Bongo, bazongaki na Yelusalemi.
