2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead, —in his days, the land rested ten years.
Abiya ku eye woɖii ɖe David ƒe du la me. Via ŋutsu, Asa, zu fia ɖe eteƒe eye le eƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ŋkekewo me la, ŋutifafa nɔ dukɔ la me ƒe ewo sɔŋ
2 And Asa did that which was good and that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh his God;
elabena Asa wɔ nu si dza le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la ƒe ŋkume.
3 and took away the foreign altars, and the high places, —and brake in pieces the pillars, and cut in twain the Sacred Stems;
Egbã trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe vɔsamlekpui siwo nɔ togbɛawo dzi kple woƒe aƒeliwo, emu Aserim legbawo ƒu anyi
4 and bade Judah seek Yahweh, God of their fathers, -and execute the law, and the commandment;
eye wòɖe gbe be, dukɔ blibo la nawɔ Yehowa, wo tɔgbuiwo ƒe Mawu la ƒe sewo dzi.
5 and removed from all the cities of Judah, the high places, and the sun-images, —and the kingdom became quiet before him.
Hekpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, eɖe ɣelegbawo ɖa le togbɛawo dzi kple dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo ɖa le Yuda duwo me. Esia ta Mawu na ŋutifafa nɔ eƒe fiaduƒe me.
6 And he built cities of defence, in Judah, —for the land had quiet, nor was there near him any war, in these years, because Yahweh had given him rest.
Nu sia na wòte ŋu tso duwo eye wòɖo gli ƒo xlã wo le Yudanyigba la ƒe akpa sia akpa.
7 Therefore said he to Judah, Let us build these cities, and let us surround them with walls and towers, doors and bars, while the land is yet before us, for we have sought Yahweh our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built, and prospered.
Fia Asa gblɔ na eƒe amewo be, “Esi Yehowa yra mí eye ŋutifafa le míaƒe anyigba dzi le esi míeɖo toe ta la, mina míatso duwo fifia eye míaglã wo kple gliwo, xɔ tsralawo, agbowo kple gamedetiwo.” Ale wowɔ nu siawo eye nu sia nu dze edzi nyuie.
8 And it came to pass that, Asa, had a force bearing shield and spear, out of Judah, three hundred thousand, and, out of Benjamin, such as bare a buckler and trode a bow, two hundred and eighty thousand, —all these, were heroes of valour.
Aʋawɔla akpe alafa etɔ̃ tso Yuda ƒe viwo dome nɔ Fia Asa ƒe aʋakɔ me. Akpoxɔnu ɖagbitɔwo kple akplɔwo nɔ wo si. Ame akpe alafa eve blaenyi tso Benyamin ƒe viwo dome nɔ eƒe aʋakɔ la me eye akpoxɔnu gãtɔwo kple datiwo kple aŋutrɔwo nɔ wo si. Wohe aʋawɔlawo katã tso to eveawo me eye wonye kalẽtɔwo.
9 Then came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian, with a force of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, —and he came as far as Mareshah.
Zera, Kusitɔ, ho aʋa ɖe wo ŋu kple aʋakɔ gã aɖe kple tasiaɖam alafa etɔ̃ eye wova ɖo keke Maresa.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, —and they set in array for battle, in the valley of Zaphonah, at Mareshah.
Asa do go yi be yeakpee eye eƒe amewo dze aʋa ɖi ɖe Zefata bali la me te ɖe Maresa ŋu.
11 Then Asa cried out unto Yahweh his God, and said, O Yahweh, it is, nothing with thee, to help whether with many or with such as have no strength. Help us, O Yahweh our God, for, on thee, do we lean, and, in thy name, have we come against this multitude, —O Yahweh! our God, thou art, let not, weak man, have power against thee.
Fia Asa do ɣli na Mawu be, “Oo Yehowa, ame bubu aɖeke mate ŋu akpe ɖe mía ŋu o! Míate ŋu anɔ te ɖe aʋakɔ gã sesẽ sia nu o. Oo, xɔ na mí, Yehowa míaƒe Mawu elabena wò ɖeka ko ŋue míeɖo ŋu ɖo be, àxɔ na mí eye le wò ŋkɔ mee míele aʋa kpem kple futɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ gã sia. Mègana amegbetɔ siwo mele ɖeke me o la, naɖu dziwò o!”
12 So Yahweh smote the Ethiopians, before Asa, and before Judah, —and the Ethiopians fled.
Yehowa na Asa kple Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ la ɖu Kustɔwo dzi eye Kustɔwo si.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued as far as to Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell, so that there was no way for them to recover, for they were routed before Yahweh, and before him host, —and they carried away exceeding much spoil.
Asa ƒe amewo nya wo yi keke Gerar ke eye wofiti Kustɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la ale gbegbe be, ame ɖeka pɛ gɔ̃ hã metsi agbe o elabena Yehowa kple eƒe aʋakɔ la tsrɔ̃ wo katã. Yuda ƒe aʋakɔ la ha aboyonu geɖewo ŋutɔ.
14 And they smote all the cities round shout Gerar, for the dread of Yahweh was upon them, —and they plundered all the cities, for, great plunder, was there in them.
Esi wonɔ Gerar la, wodze du siwo katã nɔ nuto me ma la dzi eye Yehowa na vɔvɔ̃ ɖo afi ma tɔwo. Le esia ta wogaha aboyonu geɖewo le du siawo hã me.
15 Moreover also, the tents of the cattle, they smote, —and carried off sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Womeha nuwo ɖeɖe ko le duawo me o, ke boŋ wogbã lãhawo ƒe agbadɔwo hã eye wokplɔ ale kple kposɔ geɖewo dzoe va Yerusalem.
