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.
Ary Abia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Asa zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy. Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Asa dia nandry folo taona ny tany.
2 And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.
Ary Asa nanao izay tsara sy mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra;
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,
fa nandrava ny alitaran’ ny firenena hafa sy ny fitoerana avo izy sady nanorotoro ny tsangam-baton-tsampy ary nikapa ny Aseraha.
4 And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement.
Ary nandidy ny Joda hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy ary hankatò ny lalàna sy ny didy.
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.
Ary nandrava ny fitoerana avo sy ny tsangan-kazo ho an’ ny masoandro teny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra izy; dia nandry fahizay ny fanjakana teo anatrehany.
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.
Ary nanao tanàna mimanda tany Joda izy; ka dia nandry fahizay ny tany, fa tsy nisy ady tamin’ izany andro izany; fa Jehovah no nanome azy fiadanana.
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.
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny Joda: Andeha hamboarintsika ireto tanana ireto ka hasiantsika manda manodidina sy tilikambo ary vavahady mihidy, raha mbola azontsika zakaina ny tany; fa efa nitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika isika; eny, nitady Azy isika, ka nanome antsika fiadanana amin’ ny manodidina Izy. Ary dia namboariny avokoa izany ka tontosa tsara.
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.
Ary Asa nanana miaramila, dia telo hetsy mpitana ampinga lehibe sy lefona avy tamin’ ny Joda, ary valo alina amby roa hetsy mpitana ampinga sy tsipìka avy amin’ ny Benjamina; ireo rehetra ireo dia lehilahy mahery avokoa.
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.
Ary Zera Etiopiana nivoaka hiady tamin’ ireo ka nitondra miaramila iray tapitrisa sy kalesy telon-jato, ka dia tonga tao Maresa.
10 Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battell in aray in the valley of Zephathah beside Mareshah.
Ary Asa nivoaka hiady taminy, dia samy nilahatra hiady teo an-dohasaha Zefata akaikin’ i Maresa izy.
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.
Ary Asa nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ka nanao hoe: Jehovah ô, tsy misy afa-tsy Hianao no mahavonjy ny tsy manan-kery, raha iadian’ ny maro izy, ka vonjeo izahay, Jehovah Andriamanitray ô, fa Hianao no iankinanay, ary ny anaranao no andehananay hiady amin’ ireto olona ireto. Jehovah ô. Hianao no Andriamanitray; aza avela hisy olona haharesy Anao.
12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.
Ary Jehovah namely ny Etiopiana teo anoloan’ i Asa sy ny Joda, ka dia nandositra ireny.
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.
Ary Asa sy ny vahoaka teo aminy nanenjika azy hatrany Gerara, ka dia nahafatesana be ny Etiopiana ka tsy naharina intsony; fa voaringana teo anoloan’ i Jehovah sy ny miaramilany izy, ka nahazoan’ ny Joda babo betsaka.
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.
Ary namely ny tanàna rehetra manodidina an’ i Gerara izy; fa ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah nahazo ireo, ka nobaboiny ny tanana rehetra, fa be ny babo tao.
15 Yea, and they smote the tents of cattel, and carried away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Ierusalem.
Ary namely ny vala izy ka nahazo babo betsaka, dia ondry aman’ osy sy rameva, ary dia niverina ho any Jerosalema izy.
