< 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.
Abijah sì sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀, a sì sin ín ní ìlú Dafidi. Asa ọmọ rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀. Ní àwọn ọjọ́ rẹ̀, orílẹ̀-èdè wà ní àlàáfíà fún ọdún mẹ́wàá.
2 And Asa does that which is good and that which is right in the eyes of his God YHWH,
Asa ṣe ohun tí ó dára, tí ó sì tọ́ ní ojú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀.
3 and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the Asherim,
Ó gbé àwọn pẹpẹ àjèjì kúrò àti àwọn ibi gíga. Ó fọ́ àwọn òkúta tí a yà sọ́tọ̀, ó sì gé àwọn ère Aṣerah bolẹ̀.
4 and commands to Judah to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, and to do the Law and the command;
Ó pa á láṣẹ fún Juda láti wá Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba a wọn àti láti tẹ̀lé àwọn òfin rẹ̀ àti àṣẹ.
5 and he turns aside the high places and the images out of all cities of Judah, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
Ó gbé àwọn ibi gíga kúrò àti àwọn pẹpẹ tùràrí ní gbogbo ìlú ní Juda. Ìjọba sì wà ní àlàáfíà ní abẹ́ rẹ̀.
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.
Ó mọ àwọn ìlú ààbò ti Juda, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ìlú ti wà ní àlàáfíà. Kò sí ẹnikẹ́ni ti o jagun pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ nígbà náà, nítorí Olúwa fún un ní ìsinmi.
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.
“Ẹ jẹ́ kí a kọ́ àwọn ìlú wọ̀nyí,” ó wí fún Juda, “kí ẹ sì mọ odi yí wọn ká pẹ̀lú àwọn ilé ìṣọ́ gíga, àwọn ẹnu-ọ̀nà òde, àti àwọn ìpẹ́ẹ̀rẹ̀. Ilé náà ti wà, nítorí a ti béèrè lọ́wọ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa; a béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, ó sì ti fún wa ní ìsinmi ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.” Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kọ́ ọ, wọn sì ṣe rere.
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.
Asa ní àwọn ọmọ-ogun ti ó jẹ́ ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dógún àwọn ọkùnrin láti Juda. Pẹ̀lú àwọn ohun èlò àwọn àpáta ńlá àti ọ̀kọ̀ àti ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́rìnlá láti Benjamini wọ́n dira pẹ̀lú àwọn àpáta kéékèèké àti àwọn ọrun. Gbogbo àwọn wọ̀nyí jẹ́ ògbójú jagunjagun ọkùnrin.
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,
Sera ará Etiopia yàn láti dojúkọ wọ́n, pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀ ọmọ-ogun pẹ̀lú ọ̀ọ́dúnrún kẹ̀kẹ́, wọ́n sì wá láti jìnnà réré bí Meraṣa.
10 and Asa goes out before him, and they set in array [for] battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Asa jáde lọ láti lọ bá a. Wọ́n sì mú ibi ogun ní pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ Sefata lẹ́bàá Meraṣa.
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!”
Nígbà náà, Asa ké pe Olúwa Ọlọ́run baba a rẹ̀, ó sì wí pé “Olúwa kò sí ẹnìkan bí rẹ láti rán aláìlágbára lọ́wọ́ láti dójú kọ alágbára. Ràn wá lọ́wọ́, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, nítorí tí àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé ọ àti ní orúkọ rẹ ni àwa fi wá láti dojúkọ àwọn ọ̀pọ̀ ọmọ-ogun yìí. Olúwa, ìwọ ni Ọlọ́run wa; má ṣe jẹ́ kí ènìyàn kó ṣẹ́gun rẹ.”
12 And YHWH strikes the Cushim before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Olúwa lu àwọn ará Kuṣi bolẹ̀ níwájú Asa àti Juda. Àwọn ará Kuṣi sálọ.
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 àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ sá tẹ̀lé wọn ní jìnnà réré sí Gerari. Ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀, àwọn ará Kuṣi ṣubú, wọn kò sì le sán padà mọ́. Wọn rún wọn mọ́lẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa àti ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀. Àwọn ọkùnrin Juda kó ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ìkógun.
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;
Wọ́n pa gbogbo àwọn ìletò tí ó wà ní ẹ̀bá Gerari, nítorí tí ìpayà Olúwa ti sọ̀kalẹ̀ sórí wọn. Wọ́n kó gbogbo ìkógun àwọn ìletò yìí lọ, níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ọ̀pọ̀ ìkógun ti wà níbẹ̀.
15 and they have also struck tents of livestock, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and return to Jerusalem.
Wọ́n kọlu àwọn ibùdó àwọn darandaran, wọ́n sì gbé àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àgùntàn àti àwọn ewúrẹ́ àti àwọn ìbákasẹ. Nígbà náà wọ́n padà sí Jerusalẹmu.
