2 Chronicles 14
1 And he lay down Abijah with ancestors his and people buried him in [the] city of David and he became king Asa son his in place of him in days his it was at peace the land ten years.
Og Abia laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad, og Asa, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted; i hans Dage havde Landet Ro i ti Aar.
2 And he did Asa the good and the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh God his.
Og Asa gjorde det, som var godt og ret for Herrens hans Guds Øjne.
3 And he removed [the] altars of foreignness and the high places and he broke down the sacred pillars and he cut down the Asherah poles.
Og han borttog de fremmede Altre og Højene og sønderbrød Støtterne og sønderhuggede Astartebillederne.
4 And he said to Judah to seek Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their and to observe the law and the commandment.
Og han sagde til Juda, at de skulde søge Herren, deres Fædres Gud, og gøre Loven og Budet.
5 And he removed from all [the] cities of Judah the high places and the incense altars and it was at peace the kingdom before him.
Og han borttog Højene og Solbillederne fra alle Stæder i Juda, og Riget havde Ro under ham.
6 And he built cities of fortification in Judah for it was at peace the land and there not with him [was] war in the years these for he had given rest Yahweh to him.
Og han byggede faste Stæder i Juda, fordi Landet havde Ro, og der var ingen Krig imod ham i disse Aar; thi Herren skaffede ham Rolighed.
7 And he said to Judah let us build - the cities these and let us surround [them] wall and towers gates and bars still it the land [is] before us for we have sought Yahweh God our we sought [him] and he has given rest to us from round about and they built and they prospered.
Og han sagde til Juda: Lader os bygge disse Stæder og føre Mur op omkring dem med Taarne, dobbelte Porte og Stænger, da Landet endnu ligger for os; thi vi have søgt Herren vor Gud, vi have søgt ham, og han har skaffet os Rolighed trindt omkring. Saa byggede de, og det lykkedes for dem.
8 And it belonged to Asa an army bearing body shield[s] and spear[s] from Judah three hundred thousand. And of Benjamin [those who] carry a shield and [those who] bend a bow two hundred and eighty thousand all these [were] mighty [men] of strength.
Og Asa havde en Hær, som bar Skjold og Spyd, af Juda tre Hundrede Tusinde og af Benjamin, som bare Skjold og spændte Bue, to Hundrede og firsindstyve Tusinde; alle disse vare vældige til Strid.
9 And he came out against them Zerah the Cushite with an army a thousand thousand and chariots three hundred and he came to Mareshah.
Og Morianen Sera drog ud imod dem med en Hær, tusinde Gange tusinde, og med tre Hundrede Vogne; og han kom lige til Maresa.
10 And he went out Asa before him and they drew up in formation battle in [the] valley of Zephathah to Mareshah.
Og Asa drog ud imod ham, og de rustede sig til Slag i Zefatas Dal ved Maresa.
11 And he called out Asa to Yahweh God his and he said O Yahweh there not [is] with you to help between great and not strength help us O Yahweh God our for on you we depend and in name your we have come on the multitude this O Yahweh [are] God our you may not he retain with you a man.
Og Asa raabte til Herren sin Gud og sagde: Herre! hos dig, naar du vil hjælpe, gør det ingen Forskel, om en har megen eller ingen Kraft; hjælp os, Herre vor Gud! thi vi forlade os fast paa dig, og vi ere komne i dit Navn imod denne Hob; Herre! du er vor Gud, intet Menneske skal formaa noget imod dig.
12 And he defeated Yahweh the Cushites before Asa and before Judah and they fled the Cushites.
Og Herren slog Morianerne for Asas Ansigt og for Judas Ansigt, og Morianerne flyede.
13 And he pursued them Asa and the people which [was] with him to to Gerar and it fell of [the] Cushites to not [belonged] to them preservation for they had been broken before Yahweh and before army his and they carried off booty much very.
Og Asa og Folket, som var med ham, forfulgte dem indtil Gerar; og der faldt af Morianerne saa mange, at ingen af dem blev levende; thi de bleve knuste for Herrens Ansigt og for hans Hær; og man gjorde et saare stort Bytte.
14 And they struck down all the cities around Gerar for it was [the] dread of Yahweh on them and they plundered all the cities for plunder much it was in them.
Og de sloge alle Stæder trindt omkring Gerar, thi Herrens Frygt var over disse; og de udplyndrede alle Stæderne, thi der var meget Bytte i dem.
15 And also [the] tents of livestock they struck down and they took captive sheep to abundance and camels and they returned Jerusalem.
Og de sloge ogsaa Kvægteltene, og bortførte smaat Kvæg i Mangfoldighed og Kameler, og de kom tilbage til Jerusalem.
