< 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 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 which 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 took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
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 Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
Apesaki mitindo na bato ya Yuda ete baluka Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, mpe batosa mibeko mpe malako na Ye.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto 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 to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephath at Mareshah.
Asa abimelaki ye, mpe batandamaki na molongo ya bitumba na se ya Tsefata, pene ya 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.'
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 Judah; 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 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 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 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.
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 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Babebisaki mpe bitonga ya bibwele, bamemaki bantaba mpe bameme ebele elongo na bashamo. Bongo, bazongaki na Yelusalemi.
