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.
Abiyaanis abbootii ofii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aasaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe; bara isaa keessas biyyattiin waggaa kudhan nagaadhaan jiraatte.
2 And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,
Aasaan waan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa duratti gaarii fi qajeelaa taʼe hojjete.
3 and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,
Innis iddoowwan aarsaa waaqota ormaa fi iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa ni diige; soodduuwwan dhagaa fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa ni caccabse.
4 and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;
Akka sabni Yihuudaa Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa barbaadu, akka seera isaa fi ajaja isaaf bulu ni ajaje.
5 and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
Magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda keessaas iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa fi iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa balleesse; mootummaanis isa jalatti nagaadhaan ni jiraate.
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.
Innis waan biyyattiin nagaa argatteef Yihuudaa keessatti magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qaban ni ijaare. Sababii Waaqayyo boqonnaa isaaf kenneef waggoota sana keessa namni tokko iyyuu lola isatti hin kaafne.
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.
Innis namoota Yihuudaan akkana jedhe; “Kottaa nu magaalaawwan kanneen haa ijaarru; dallaa gamoo, cufaa fi danqaraawwan qabu itti naannessinee haa ijaarru; sababii nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya barbaanneef lafti kun ammas keenyuma; nu isa barbaanne; innis karaa hundaan boqonnaa nuuf kenne.” Isaan ni ijaaran; hojiin isaaniis ni milkaaʼeef.
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.
Aasaan namoota Yihuudaa kanneen gaachana gurguddaa fi eeboo qabatan kuma dhibba sadii, namoota Beniyaam kanneen gaachana xixinnaa fi xiyyawwan qabatan kuma dhibba lamaa fi saddeettama qaba ture. Isaan kunneen hundi loltoota ciccimoo turan.
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,
Zeraan namichi Itoophiyaa tokko immoo loltoota miliyoona tokkoo fi gaariiwwan dhibba sadii fudhatee hamma Maareeshaatti isaanitti ni duule.
10 and Asa goes out before him, and they set in array [for] battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Aasaanis isatti baʼe; isaanis Sulula Zefaataa keessatti Maareeshaa iddoo lolaa qabatan.
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!”
Kana irratti Aasaan Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa waammatee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo, kan akka kee namoota humna hin qabne gargaaree namoota jajjaboo jalaa baasu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya, nu sitti of kennineerraatii nu gargaari; maqaa keetiinis waraana akka malee guddaa kanatti duulleerra. Yaa Waaqayyo ati Waaqa keenya; akka namni sitti cimuuf ofitti hin dhiisin.”
12 And YHWH strikes the Cushim before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Waaqayyos fuula Aasaatii fi Yihuudaa duraa namoota Itoophiyoota ni dhaʼe; namoonni Itoophiyaas ni baqatan.
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,
Aasaa fi loltoonni isaas hamma Geraaraatti isaan ariʼan. Waan Baayʼeen isaanii dhumaniif namoonni Itoophiyaa deebiʼanii bayyanachuu hin dandeenye; isaan fuula Waaqayyoo fi fuula loltoota isaa duratti barbadeeffamaniiruutii. Namoonni Yihuudaas boojuu baayʼee fudhatanii deebiʼan.
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;
Isaan sababii sodaachisni guddaan Waaqayyo biraa jaratti dhufeef gandoota naannoo Geraaraa jiran hunda barbadeessan. Isaanis sababii wantoonni boojiʼaman hedduun achi turaniif gandoota kanneen ni saaman.
15 and they have also struck tents of livestock, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and return to Jerusalem.
Akkasumas qubatawwan tiksootaa dhaʼanii karra hoolotaa fi reʼoota akka malee hedduu fi gaalawwan illee boojiʼanii fudhatan. Ergasiis Yerusaalemitti dachaʼan.
