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.
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 which 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 took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
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 Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
Ary nandidy ny Joda hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy ary hankatò ny lalàna sy ny didy.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto 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 to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephath at Mareshah.
Ary Asa nivoaka hiady taminy, dia samy nilahatra hiady teo an-dohasaha Zefata akaikin’ i Maresa izy.
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.'
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 Judah; 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 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.
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 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.
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 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Ary namely ny vala izy ka nahazo babo betsaka, dia ondry aman’ osy sy rameva, ary dia niverina ho any Jerosalema izy.
