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.
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 which 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 took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
Ọ wezugakwara ebe ịchụ aja nke chi ọzọ niile dị nʼugwu, tipịa ogidi nsọ niile, gbujasịakwa ogidi Ashera.
4 and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
O nyere Juda iwu ka ha chọọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke nna ha, ka ha debekwa iwu ya na ụkpụrụ ya niile.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.
Zera, bụ onye Kush duru puku kwụrụ puku, na narị ụgbọ agha atọ, bịaruo Maresha ibuso Juda agha.
10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephath at Mareshah.
Asa pụrụ izute ya. Ha doro onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha na Ndagwurugwu Zefata nke dị Maresha nso.
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.'
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 Judah; 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 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 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 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.
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 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Ha busokwara ebe obibi ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ agha, chikọrọ igwe atụrụ na ewu na ịnyịnya kamel. Emesịa ha laghachiri Jerusalem.
