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.
Ary Abia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao an-tanànan’ i Davida izy; ary Asa zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy. Ary tamin’ ny andron’ i Asa dia nandry folo taona ny tany.
2 And Asa did that which was good and that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh his God;
Ary Asa nanao izay tsara sy mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra;
3 and took away the foreign altars, and the high places, —and brake in pieces the pillars, and cut in twain the Sacred Stems;
fa nandrava ny alitaran’ ny firenena hafa sy ny fitoerana avo izy sady nanorotoro ny tsangam-baton-tsampy ary nikapa ny Aseraha.
4 and bade Judah seek Yahweh, God of their fathers, -and execute the law, and the commandment;
Ary nandidy ny Joda hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izy ary hankatò ny lalàna sy ny didy.
5 and removed from all the cities of Judah, the high places, and the sun-images, —and the kingdom became quiet before him.
Ary nandrava ny fitoerana avo sy ny tsangan-kazo ho an’ ny masoandro teny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Joda rehetra izy; dia nandry fahizay ny fanjakana teo anatrehany.
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.
Ary nanao tanàna mimanda tany Joda izy; ka dia nandry fahizay ny tany, fa tsy nisy ady tamin’ izany andro izany; fa Jehovah no nanome azy fiadanana.
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.
Dia hoy izy tamin’ ny Joda: Andeha hamboarintsika ireto tanana ireto ka hasiantsika manda manodidina sy tilikambo ary vavahady mihidy, raha mbola azontsika zakaina ny tany; fa efa nitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika isika; eny, nitady Azy isika, ka nanome antsika fiadanana amin’ ny manodidina Izy. Ary dia namboariny avokoa izany ka tontosa tsara.
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.
Ary Asa nanana miaramila, dia telo hetsy mpitana ampinga lehibe sy lefona avy tamin’ ny Joda, ary valo alina amby roa hetsy mpitana ampinga sy tsipìka avy amin’ ny Benjamina; ireo rehetra ireo dia lehilahy mahery avokoa.
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.
Ary Zera Etiopiana nivoaka hiady tamin’ ireo ka nitondra miaramila iray tapitrisa sy kalesy telon-jato, ka dia tonga tao Maresa.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, —and they set in array for battle, in the valley of Zaphonah, at Mareshah.
Ary Asa nivoaka hiady taminy, dia samy nilahatra hiady teo an-dohasaha Zefata akaikin’ i Maresa izy.
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.
Ary Asa nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ka nanao hoe: Jehovah ô, tsy misy afa-tsy Hianao no mahavonjy ny tsy manan-kery, raha iadian’ ny maro izy, ka vonjeo izahay, Jehovah Andriamanitray ô, fa Hianao no iankinanay, ary ny anaranao no andehananay hiady amin’ ireto olona ireto. Jehovah ô. Hianao no Andriamanitray; aza avela hisy olona haharesy Anao.
12 So Yahweh smote the Ethiopians, before Asa, and before Judah, —and the Ethiopians fled.
Ary Jehovah namely ny Etiopiana teo anoloan’ i Asa sy ny Joda, ka dia nandositra ireny.
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.
Ary Asa sy ny vahoaka teo aminy nanenjika azy hatrany Gerara, ka dia nahafatesana be ny Etiopiana ka tsy naharina intsony; fa voaringana teo anoloan’ i Jehovah sy ny miaramilany izy, ka nahazoan’ ny Joda babo betsaka.
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.
Ary namely ny tanàna rehetra manodidina an’ i Gerara izy; fa ny fahatahorana an’ i Jehovah nahazo ireo, ka nobaboiny ny tanana rehetra, fa be ny babo tao.
15 Moreover also, the tents of the cattle, they smote, —and carried off sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Ary namely ny vala izy ka nahazo babo betsaka, dia ondry aman’ osy sy rameva, ary dia niverina ho any Jerosalema izy.
