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.
Aa le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’i Abiià naho nalenteke an-drova’ i Davide ao, le nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Asa ana’e; nanintsiñe folo taoñe tañ’andro’e i taney.
2 And Asa did that which was good and that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh his God;
Nanao ze soa naho vantañe am-pihaino’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’e t’i Asa;
3 and took away the foreign altars, and the high places, —and brake in pieces the pillars, and cut in twain the Sacred Stems;
amy te finao’e ze kitrely tsie naho o toets’ aboo naho nakoroma’e o vatolahio vaho finira’e o Asereo;
4 and bade Judah seek Yahweh, God of their fathers, -and execute the law, and the commandment;
naho linili’e te hipay Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo t’Iehoda, hañorike Hake naho o fepètseo.
5 and removed from all the cities of Judah, the high places, and the sun-images, —and the kingdom became quiet before him.
Nafaha’e amo hene rova’ Iehodao o tambohoo naho o sare’ i àndroio; vaho nianjiñe añ’atrefa’e eo i taney.
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.
Aa le namboare’e rova fatratse e Iehoda ao; amy te nanintsiñe i taney vaho tsy teo ty nialiañe amy taoñe rezay, ie nampitofà’ Iehovà.
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.
Aa hoe ty natao’e am’Iehoda: Antao hamboatse o rova retoa, le harikatohen-tika kijoly naho fitalakesañ’ abo naho lalambey vaho sikadañe; añatrefan-tika eo i taney amy te nitsoehentika t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika naho nipaian-tika vaho nampitofae’e o mañohok’ antika iabio. Aa le namboatse iereo vaho niraorao.
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.
Le nanam-pirimboñan-dahindefoñe t’i Asa: mpitam-pikalañe naho lefoñe telo-hetse ty boak’ Iehodà ao; naho hirike Beniamine ao ty mpitam-pikalañe vaho mpitintim-pale, roe-hetse-tsi-valo-ale; songa maozatse naho nahasibeke.
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.
Teo te niavotse haname iareo t’i Zerake nte-Kose ninday valobohòke arivon’ arivo naho sarete telon-jato; le nivotrake e Maresà eo.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, —and they set in array for battle, in the valley of Zaphonah, at Mareshah.
Niavotse mb’eo t’i Asa hifanalaka ama’e, le nalahatse am-bavatane’ i Zefate e Maresà eo i hotakotakey.
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.
Le nikaik’ am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’e t’i Asa, nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, tsy eo ty añ’ila’o mahafañolotse añivo’ ty maozatse naho ty po-hafatrarañe; oloro zahay ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay; amy te Ihe avao ty iatoa’ay vaho i tahina’oy ty ionjona’ay hiatreke o valobohòkeo. Ihe ro Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay; ko apo’o handrekets’ azo ondatio.
12 So Yahweh smote the Ethiopians, before Asa, and before Judah, —and the Ethiopians fled.
Aa le zinama’ Iehovà añatrefa’ i Asa naho aolo’ Iehoda eo o nte-Koseo vaho nitriban-day o nte-Koseo.
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.
Aa le nihoridañe’ i Asa naho ondaty ama’eo pake Gerare; le akore ty hamaro’ o nte-Kose nibanibanìtseo kanao leo raike tsy nahatam-beloñe, ie niparatsàke añatrefa’ Iehovà naho aolo’ i valobohò’ey; vaho nendese’ iereo ty fikopaham-bey.
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.
Linafa’ iereo o tanañe mañohoke i Gerare iabio; fa nampianifa’ Iehovà; naho fonga kinopa’ iareo o rovao vaho tsifotofoto ty vara tam’ iereo ao.
15 Moreover also, the tents of the cattle, they smote, —and carried off sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Linafa’ iareo ka o kibohom-pitan-kareo, le tinava’ iareo ty añondry naho rameva maro vaho nimpoly mb’e Ierosalaime añe.
