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.
A HIAMOE o Abiia me kona mau kupuna, a kanu lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida; a noho alii iho la o Asa, kana keiki mahope ona. I kona mau la, ua maluhia ka aina i na makahiki he umi.
2 And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,
Hana iho la o Asa i ka maikai a me ka pololei, imua o Iehova kona Akua.
3 and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,
Lawe aku la oia i na kuahu o na akua e, a me na wahi kiekie, wawahi iho la oia i na kii, kulai no hoi i na kii o Asetarota.
4 and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;
A kauoha ae la oia i ka Iuda e imi ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou kupuna, a e malama i kona kanawai, a me kana kauoha.
5 and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
Lawe aku la ia mailoko aku o na kulanakauhale a pau o Iuda, i na wahi kiekie, a me na kii; a maluhia iho la ke aupuni imua ona.
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.
A kukulu iho la ia i na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa ma Iuda; no ka mea, ua maluhia ka aina, aohe ona kaua i kela mau makahiki, no ka mea, hoomalu mai o Iehova ia ia.
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.
Olelo aku la oia i ka Iuda, Ina kakou, e kukulu kakou i keia mau kulanakauhale, e hana a puni i na pa, a me na halekiai, a me na ipuka, a me na mea e paa ai, oiai ka aina ia kakou; no ka mea, ua imi kakou ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, ua imi no kakou, a ua hoomalu mai ia ia kakou a puni: a kukulu ae la lakou me ka pomaikai.
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.
Aia ia Asa he poe koa, he poe lawe palekaua a me na ihe, noloko mai o Iuda ekolu haneri tausani; a noloko mai o Beniamina, he poe lawe i na aahuapoo, a he poe lena i na kakaka, elua haneri a me kanawalu tausani; he poe koa ikaika keia poe a pau loa.
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,
A hele mai io lakou la o Zera no Aitiopa mai me ka poe koa, hookahi tausani tausani, a me na kaa kaua ekolu haneri, a hiki mai lakou i Maresa.
10 and Asa goes out before him, and they set in array [for] battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
A hele ku e o Asa ia ia, a hoonohonoho i ke kaua ma ke awawa o Zepata ma Maresa.
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!”
A kahea aku la o Asa ia Iehova, i kona Akua, i aku la, E Iehova, ua like wale no ia oe ke kokua mamuli o ka poe lehulehu, a mamuli hoi o ka poe ikaika ole: e kokua mai ia makou, e Iehova ko makou Akua; no ka mea, ke hilinai aku nei makou ia oe, a ma kou inoa makou e hele ku e aku ai i keia poe lehulehu. E Iehova, o oe no ko makou Akua; mai noho oe a lanakila ke kanaka maluna ou.
12 And YHWH strikes the Cushim before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Alaila, luku mai la o Iehova i ko Aitiopa imua o Asa, a imua o ka Iuda; a auhee aku la ko Aitiopa.
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,
Alualu aku la o Asa a me na kanaka me ia a hiki i Gerara; haule ko Aitiopa, aole i hiki ia lakou ke ola; no ka mea, ua lukuia lakou imua o Iehova, a imua o kona poe koa, a ua lawe lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui loa.
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;
A luku lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau a puni o Gerara, no ka mea, maluna o lakou ka makau ia Iehova; a hoopio lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau; a he nui loa ka waiwai pio iloko olaila.
15 and they have also struck tents of livestock, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and return to Jerusalem.
A luku lakou i na halelewa o na holoholona, a lawe aku la lakou i na hipa a me na kamelo he nui loa, a hoi lakou i Ierusalema.
