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.
Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻApisa mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAsa. Naʻe melino pe ʻae fonua ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona ʻi ha taʻu ʻe hongofulu.
2 And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,
Pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua:
3 and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,
He naʻa ne fetuku ʻo ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo e ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ʻo ne fesiʻi hifo ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, pea ne tā hifo ʻae ngaahi vao tapu:
4 and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;
Pea naʻa ne fekau ki Siuta ke kumi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea ke fai ki he fono mo e fekau.
5 and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
Pea naʻa ne liʻaki foki mei he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā: pea naʻe anga fakamelino pe ʻae puleʻanga ʻi hono ʻao.
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.
Pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi kolotau ʻi Siuta: he naʻe anga fakamelino pe ʻae fonua, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tau kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ko ia: koeʻuhi naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae fiemālie kiate 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.
Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe ia ki Siuta, “Ke tau langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ni maʻatautolu, pea langa ki ai ʻae ngaahi ā, mo e ngaahi fale māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi ʻakau fakalava, ʻi he kei ʻi hotau ʻao ʻae fonua: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻetau kumi ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, naʻa tau kumi ia, pea kuo ne tuku ʻae fiemālie kiate kitautolu ʻi he potu kotoa pē.” Ko ia naʻa nau langa pea monūʻia.
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.
Pea naʻe ʻia ʻAsa ʻae kau tangata tau, naʻe fua ʻae ngaahi pā mo e ngaahi tao, ko e toko tolu afe mei Siuta: pea ko e toko ua kilu mo e toko valu mano meia Penisimani naʻe fua pā pea teke ʻae kaufana: ko e kau tangata toʻa mo mālohi ʻakinautolu ni kotoa pē.
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,
Pea naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻa Sela ko e tangata ʻItiopea mo e fuʻu tau ko e taha miliona, mo e saliote ʻe tolungeau: pea naʻa nau hoko ki Malesa.
10 and Asa goes out before him, and they set in array [for] battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa ʻAsa ko hono tali, pea naʻa nau teuteu ke fai ʻae tau ʻi he potu talalo ʻo Sefata ʻi Malesa.
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!”
Pea naʻe tangi ʻa ʻAsa kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ko e meʻa noa pe kiate koe ke tokoni, ki he tokolahi, pe kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai hanau mālohi: ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ke ke tokoni kiate kimautolu: he ʻoku mau falala kiate koe, pea ʻi ho huafa ʻoku mau ʻalu atu ki he fuʻu kakai ni. ʻE Sihova, ko koe pe ko homau ʻOtua ʻoua naʻa mālohi ʻae tangata kiate koe.”
12 And YHWH strikes the Cushim before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Ko ia naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻItiopea ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻAsa, mo e ʻao ʻo Siuta pea naʻe hola ʻae kakai ʻItiopea.
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,
Pea naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻAsa mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia ʻo aʻu ki Kela: pea ʻi he maveuveu ʻae kakai ʻItiopea, naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai ke toe fakahaofi ʻakinautolu he naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene tau: pea naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae vete lahi.
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;
Pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻae ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi Kela: he naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kia Sihova kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau maumau ʻae ngaahi kolo kotoa pē: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae koloa ʻi ai.
15 and they have also struck tents of livestock, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and return to Jerusalem.
Pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe fanga manu lalahi: pea naʻe fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga kāmeli ke lahi ʻaupito ʻonau liu mai ki Selūsalema.
