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.
Lè Abija mouri, yo antere l' lavil David la. Se Asa, pitit gason li, ki moute wa nan plas li. Sou rèy Asa, peyi a viv ak kè poze pandan dizan.
2 And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,
Asa te fè sa ki byen ak sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye l' la.
3 and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,
Li fè disparèt tout lotèl yo te bati pou bondye lòt nasyon yo ak tout kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou yo. Li fè kraze zidòl yo, li koupe estati Achera yo voye jete.
4 and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;
Li bay tout moun Jida yo lòd pou yo mache dapre volonte Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, pou yo fè tou sa ki nan lalwa ak nan kòmandman Bondye yo.
5 and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
Li fè disparèt tout kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou lòt bondye yo ansanm ak lotèl pou boule lansan pou yo nan dènye lavil nan peyi Jida a. Se konsa, pandan tout rèy li, peyi a t'ap viv ak kè poze.
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.
Pandan tout tan sa a, peyi a pa t' nan dezòd, ni li pa t' nan fè lagè ak pesonn, paske Seyè a te ba li chans viv ak kè poze. Wa a pwofite tout tan sa yo, li bati gwo ranpa pou pwoteje lavil peyi Jida yo.
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.
Li di moun peyi Jida yo: -Annou ranfòse defans lavil yo! Annou bati miray ranpa ak fò pou pwoteje yo ak pòtay solid ak gwo ba pou fèmen yo. Peyi a nan men nou toujou, paske nou te fè volonte Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se li menm ki pwoteje nou, li fè nou viv byen san kont ak tout vwazen nou yo. Se konsa yo mete men nan travay la jouk yo fini l'.
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.
Wa Asa te gen yon gwo lame. Nan lame a te gen twasanmil (300.000) sòlda moun branch fanmi Jida ki te gen plak pwotèj ak frenn, plis desankatreven mil (280.000) sòlda moun branch fanmi Benjamen ki te gen plak pwotèj ak banza pou voye flèch. Yo tout te vanyan sòlda.
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,
Yon moun peyi Letiopi yo te rele Zera vin anvayi peyi Jida ak yon lame ki te gen yon milyon sòlda ansanm ak twasan (300) cha lagè. Yo vanse jouk lavil Marecha.
10 and Asa goes out before him, and they set in array [for] battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Asa soti ak lame pa l' la al kontre avè l'. De lame yo pran pozisyon nan fon Zefata a, toupre Marecha.
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!”
Asa lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye li a, li di l' konsa: -Bondye sèl Mèt, kit w'ap ede yon gwo, kit w'ap ede yon piti, pou ou se menm bagay la. Tanpri, vin ede nou koulye a, Seyè, Bondye nou an, paske se sou ou nou konte. Se nan non ou nou vin goumen ak bann moun sa yo. Seyè, se ou menm ki Bondye nou. Fè wè pesonn pa ka kenbe tèt avè ou!
12 And YHWH strikes the Cushim before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Se konsa, Seyè a fè Asa ak lame peyi Jida a bat lame Letiopi a. Lame Letiopi a kouri met deyò.
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,
Men Asa ak sòlda li yo kouri dèyè yo jouk lavil Gera. Yo touye sòlda lame Letiopi yo, yo pa kite yonn ladan yo chape. Seyè a te kraze yo tout ak lame li a. Lame a pran yon pakèt bagay lènmi yo te kite.
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;
Lèfini, yo detwi tout ti bouk ki te nan zòn Gera a, paske moun la yo te pè Seyè a anpil. Lame Jida a piye lavil yo. Yo pote anpil anpil bagay ale paske moun sa yo te gen anpil byen.
15 and they have also struck tents of livestock, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and return to Jerusalem.
Yo atake gadò mouton yo anba tant yo. Yo pran yon bon valè mouton ak chamo. Apre sa, yo tounen tounen yo lavil Jerizalèm.
