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.
Abija sooro nna nna ya ha dina nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼobodo Devid. Asa, nwa ya nwoke ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya. Udo dịkwa afọ iri nʼụbọchị ịbụ eze ya.
2 And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,
Asa mere ihe dị mma na nke ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ya.
3 and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,
Ọ wezugakwara ebe ịchụ aja nke chi ọzọ niile dị nʼugwu, tipịa ogidi nsọ niile, gbujasịakwa ogidi Ashera.
4 and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;
O nyere Juda iwu ka ha chọọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke nke nna ha, ka ha debekwa iwu ya na ụkpụrụ ya niile.
5 and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
O wezugakwara ebe niile a na-efe arụsị nʼelu ugwu, bibiekwa ebe niile a na-esure ihe nsure ọkụ na-esi isi ụtọ nʼobodo Juda. Alaeze ahụ nwekwara udo nʼokpuru ọchịchị ya.
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.
O wuru ọtụtụ obodo e ji mgbidi gbaa gburugburu nʼala Juda niile. O nweghị onye busoro ya agha, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị nyere ya udo.
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.
Nʼihi nke a, ọ gwara ndị Juda sị ha, “Ugbu a ka anyị kwesiri iwu obodo ndị a. Ka anyị wuokwa mgbidi gburugburu ha, wuokwa ụlọ elu nche, tinyesịa ha niile ibo ọnụ ụzọ ama, na mkpọrọ e ji akpọchi ya, ala a bụ nke anyị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke onye anyị ji obi anyị chọsie ike enyela anyị udo.” Ya mere, ha wuru ihe ndị a niile nwekwa ọganihu.
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.
Ọnụọgụgụ ndị agha Asa ndị si Juda nʼoge ahụ bụ narị puku atọ. Ngwa agha ha ji bụ ọta ukwu na ùbe. Ndị agha ya ọzọ si Benjamin dị narị puku abụọ na iri puku mmadụ asatọ. Ndị a jikwa ọta na ụta. Ndị agha ndị a niile bụ ndị a zụziri azụzi, bụrụkwa ndị dị ike.
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, bụ onye Kush duru puku kwụrụ puku, na narị ụgbọ agha atọ, bịaruo Maresha ibuso Juda agha.
10 and Asa goes out before him, and they set in array [for] battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Asa pụrụ izute ya. Ha doro onwe ha nʼusoro ibu agha na Ndagwurugwu Zefata nke dị Maresha nso.
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!”
Mgbe ahụ, Asa kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị Chineke ya, si, “Onyenwe anyị ọ dịghị onye dịka gị nʼinyere onye na-adịghị ike aka nʼihu onye dị ike nke ukwuu. Nyere anyị aka, O Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, nʼihi na anyị dabere na gị. Ọ bụkwa nʼaha gị ka anyị na-apụ ibuso igwe a agha. O Onyenwe anyị i bụ Chineke anyị. Ekwela ka ọ bụrụ na mmadụ efu meriri gị.”
12 And YHWH strikes the Cushim before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Onyenwe anyị tigbukwara ndị Kush niile ahụ nʼihu Asa na Juda. Ndị Kush gbakwara ọsọ.
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 na ndị agha ya chụrụ ha ọsọ chụruo ha obodo Gera ebe ọtụtụ ndị Kush dara, ruo na o nwekwaghị onye fọdụrụ ndụ nʼime ha. E tigburu ha nʼihu Onyenwe anyị na ndị agha ya. Ndị Juda bukọọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼagha dị iche iche.
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;
Ha bibiri obodo niile gbara Gera gburugburu, nʼihi na egwu Onyenwe anyị dakwasịrị obodo ndị ahụ niile. Ndị Juda bukọọrọ ọtụtụ ihe nkwata nʼihi na ọtụtụ ihe dị nʼobodo ndị ahụ.
15 and they have also struck tents of livestock, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and return to Jerusalem.
Ha busokwara ebe obibi ndị na-azụ anụ ụlọ agha, chikọrọ igwe atụrụ na ewu na ịnyịnya kamel. Emesịa ha laghachiri Jerusalem.
