< 2 Chronicles 14 >
1 So Abijah 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.
Abiya kuwa ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi a Birnin Dawuda. Asa ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki, a zamaninsa kuma ƙasar ta zauna lafiya na shekara goma.
2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God;
Asa ya yi abin da yake da kyau da kuma daidai a gaban Ubangiji Allahnsa.
3 for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
Ya kawar da baƙin bagade da masujadai bisa tudu, ya farfashe keɓaɓɓun duwatsu, ya kuma sassare ginshiƙan Ashera.
4 and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
Ya umarci Yahuda su nemi Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, su kuma yi biyayya da dokoki da kuma umarnansa.
5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
Ya kawar da masujadan kan tudu da bagadan turare a kowane gari a Yahuda, masarautar kuwa ta zauna lafiya a ƙarƙashinsa.
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
Ya gina biranen katanga na Yahuda, da yake ƙasar tana zaman lafiya. Babu wanda yake yaƙi da shi a waɗannan shekaru, gama Ubangiji ya ba shi hutu.
7 For he said unto Judah: 'Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He hath given us rest on every side.' So they built and prospered.
Ya ce wa Yahuda, “Bari mu gina waɗannan garuruwa mu sa katanga kewaye da su, da hasumiyoyi, ƙofofi da ƙyamare. Ƙasar har yanzu tamu ce domin mun nemi Ubangiji Allahnmu, mun neme shi ya kuwa ba mu hutu a kowane gefe.” Saboda haka suka gina suka kuma yi nasara.
8 And Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand; all these were mighty men of valour.
Asa ya kasance da mayaƙa dubu ɗari uku daga Yahuda, kintsatse da manyan garkuwoyi da māsu, da kuma mayaƙa dubu ɗari biyu da dubu tamanin daga Benyamin, riƙe da ƙananan garkuwoyi da kuma baka. Dukan waɗannan jarumawa ne ƙwarai.
9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.
Zera mutumin Kush ya taka ya fita don yă yaƙe su da babban runduna da kuma kekunan yaƙi ɗari uku, ya kuma zo har Maresha.
10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephath at Mareshah.
Asa ya fita don yă ƙara da shi, suka ja dāgā yaƙi a Kwarin Zefata kusa da Maresha.
11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said: 'LORD, there is none beside Thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength; help us, O LORD our God; for we rely on Thee, and in Thy name are we come against this multitude. Thou art the LORD our God; let not man prevail against Thee.'
Sai Asa ya kira ga Ubangiji Allahnsa ya ce, “Ubangiji, babu wani kamar ka da zai taimaki marar ƙarfi a kan mai ƙarfi. Ka taimake mu, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu, gama mun dogara a gare ka, kuma a cikin sunanka muka fito don mu yaƙi wannan babbar runduna. Ya Ubangiji, kai ne Allahnmu; kada ka bar mutum yă yi nasara a kanka.”
12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
Ubangiji fa ya bugi mutanen Kush a gaban Asa da Yahuda. Mutanen Kush suka gudu,
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar; and there fell of the Ethiopians so that none remained alive; for they were shattered before the LORD, and before His host; and they carried away very much booty.
Asa kuwa da mayaƙansa suka bi su har Gerar. Mutanen Kush suka mutu a ranan nan har ba a iya ƙidaya, aka buge su a gaban Ubangiji da rundunansa. Mutanen Yahuda suka kwashi ganima sosai.
14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for a terror from the LORD came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.
Suka hallaka dukan ƙauyukan kewaye da Gerar, gama tsoron Ubangiji ya kama su. Suka kwashi ganima na dukan ƙauyukan nan, da yake akwai ganima sosai a can.
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Suka kuma yaƙi sansanin makiyaya suka kwashe tumaki da awaki da raƙuma. Suka koma Urushalima.
