2 Chronicles 14
1 And Abijah lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns in his stead. In his days the land was quiet [for] ten years.
Abiya ku eye woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me. Via ŋutsu, Asa, zu fia ɖe eteƒe eye le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ŋkekewo me la, ŋutifafa nɔ dukɔ la me ƒe ewo sɔŋ
2 And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,
elabena Asa wɔ nu si dza le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkume.
3 and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,
Egbã trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpui siwo nɔ togbɛawo dzi kple woƒe aƒeliwo, emu Aserim legbawo ƒu anyi
4 and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;
eye wòɖe gbe be, dukɔ blibo la nawɔ Yehowa, wo tɔgbuiwo ƒe Mawu la ƒe sewo dzi.
5 and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, eɖe ɣelegbawo ɖa le togbɛawo dzi kple dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo ɖa le Yuda duwo me. Esia ta Mawu na ŋutifafa nɔ eƒe fiaduƒe me.
6 And he builds cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land has quiet; and there is no war with him in these years, because YHWH has given rest to him.
Nu sia na wòte ŋu tso duwo eye wòɖo gli ƒo xlã wo le Yudanyigba la ƒe akpa sia akpa.
7 And he says to Judah, “Let us build these cities, and surround [them] with wall, and towers, double gates, and bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought our God YHWH, we have sought, and He gives rest to us all around”; and they build and prosper.
Fia Asa gblɔ na eƒe amewo be, “Esi Yehowa yra mí eye ŋutifafa le míaƒe anyigba dzi le esi míeɖo toe ta la, mina míatso duwo fifia eye míaglã wo kple gliwo, xɔ tsralawo, agbowo kple gamedetiwo.” Ale wowɔ nu siawo eye nu sia nu dze edzi nyuie.
8 And Asa has a force of three hundred thousand from Judah carrying buckler and spear, and two hundred and eighty thousand from Benjamin carrying shield and treading bow; all these [are] mighty men of valor.
Aʋawɔla akpe alafa etɔ̃ tso Yuda ƒe viwo dome nɔ Fia Asa ƒe aʋakɔ me. Akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔwo kple akplɔwo nɔ wo si. Ame akpe alafa eve blaenyi tso Benyamin ƒe viwo dome nɔ eƒe aʋakɔ la me eye akpoxɔnu gãtɔwo kple datiwo kple aŋutrɔwo nɔ wo si. Wohe aʋawɔlawo katã tso to eveawo me eye wonye kalẽtɔwo.
9 And Zerah the Cushite comes out to them with a force of one million [men] and three hundred chariots, and he comes to Mareshah,
Zera, Kusitɔ, ho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu kple aʋakɔ gã aɖe kple tasiaɖam alafa etɔ̃ eye wova ɖo keke Maresa.
10 and Asa goes out before him, and they set in array [for] battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Asa do go yi be yeakpee eye eƒe amewo dze aʋa ɖi ɖe Zefata bali la me te ɖe Maresa ŋu.
11 And Asa calls to his God YHWH and says, “YHWH, it is nothing for You to help, between the mighty and those who have no power; help us, O YHWH, our God, for we have leaned on You, and in Your Name we have come against this multitude; O YHWH, You [are] our God; do not let mortal man prevail against You!”
Fia Asa do ɣli na Mawu be, “Oo Yehowa, ame bubu aɖeke mate ŋu akpe ɖe mía ŋu o! Míate ŋu anɔ te ɖe aʋakɔ gã sesẽ sia nu o. Oo, xɔ na mí, Yehowa míaƒe Mawu elabena wò ɖeka ko ŋue míeɖo ŋu ɖo be, àxɔ na mí eye le wò ŋkɔ mee míele aʋa kpem kple futɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ gã sia. Mègana amegbetɔ siwo mele ɖeke me o la, naɖu dziwò o!”
12 And YHWH strikes the Cushim before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Yehowa na Asa kple Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖu Kustɔwo dzi eye Kustɔwo si.
13 and Asa and the people who [are] with him pursue them even to Gerar, and there falls [many] from the Cushim, for they have no preserving, because they have been broken before YHWH and before His camp; and [those of Judah] carry away very much spoil,
Asa ƒe amewo nya wo yi keke Gerar ke eye wofiti Kustɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ale gbegbe be, ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o elabena Yehowa kple eƒe aʋakɔ la tsrɔ̃ wo katã. Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ la ha aboyonu geɖewo ŋutɔ.
14 and strike all the cities around Gerar, for a fear of YHWH has been on them, and they spoil all the cities, for abundant spoil has been in them;
Esi wonɔ Gerar la, wodze du siwo katã nɔ nuto me ma la dzi eye Yehowa na vɔvɔ̃ ɖo afi ma tɔwo. Le esia ta wogaha aboyonu geɖewo le du siawo hã me.
15 and they have also struck tents of livestock, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and return to Jerusalem.
Womeha nuwo ɖeɖe ko le duawo me o, ke boŋ wogbã lãhawo ƒe agbadɔwo hã eye wokplɔ ale kple kposɔ geɖewo dzoe va Yerusalem.
