2 Chronicles 14
1 When Abijah died, he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. His son Asa became the king. While Asa was ruling, there was peace in Judah for ten years.
Hina bagade Abaidia da bogoloba, ilia da e Da: ibidi ea Moilai bai bagadega hina bagade ilia bogoi salimusa: gele gelabo dogonesi dialu, amoga sanasi. Abaidia da bogoloba, ea mano A: isa da hina bagade hamobeba: le, Yuda dunu ilia ode nabuane agoane hahawane olofoiwane esalu.
2 Asa did things that Yahweh his God considers to be right and good.
A: isa da Hina Gode, ea Godedafa amo e hahawane ba: ma: ne, hou moloi amola noga: le hamosu.
3 His workers got rid of the altars to worship foreign gods that were on the high hills. They smashed the sacred stone pillars and cut down the poles for worshiping [the goddess] Asherah.
A: isa da ga fi dunu ilia gobele salasu fafai amola ogogosu ‘gode’ma sia: ne gadosu sogebi amola ilia sema duni bugi amo huluane mugululi fofasi. Amola ogogole ‘gode’ Asila agoaila loboga hamoi, amo huluane abusa: le sasali.
4 Asa commanded the people of Judah to worship [only] Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors worshiped, and to obey his laws and commands.
A: isa e da Yuda dunuma, ilia Hina Gode, Ea hou defele hamoma: ne, fada: i sia: su. Ilia aowalalia Gode Ea olelei amola hamoma: ne sia: i defele, nabawane hamoma: ne fada: i sia: nanasu.
5 His workers destroyed all the shrines on the hilltops and the altars for burning incense [to idols] in every town in Judah. As a result, there was peace while Asa ruled the kingdom [of Judah].
Bai e da moilai bagade ganodini ogogole ‘gode’ma sia: ne gadosu sogebi amola gobele salasu fafai amo Yuda soge ganodini dialu, huluane mugululi fasi dagoiba: le, ea oule fi da hahawane bagade galu.
6 His workers built cities and constructed walls around them. No army attacked Judah during that time, because Yahweh enabled them to have peace.
E da Yuda moilai bai bagade gagili sali. Amola e esalebe galu, Yuda moilai bai bagade huluane amo ganodini noga: le gagole gagai dagoiba: le, ode bagohame halasu mae ba: le hahawane esalusu, amola Hina Gode da ema hahawane olofosu hou i.
7 Asa said to the people of Judah, “We should protect these towns by building walls around them, with watchtowers and gates that have bars. This country still belongs to us because we have requested Yahweh our God to help us. We requested him for his help, and he has given us peace in our entire country.” So they built buildings and prospered.
E da Yuda fi dunu ilima amane sia: i, “Niniamone moilai bagade huluane noga: le gagagola heda: le logo agenesisi amo ga: sisili banenesisila: di. Ninia da Hina Gode Ea sia: nabawane hamobeba: le, hahawane fi esala. Ea da nini noga: le ouligili noga: le gagagulasa.” Amola ilia noga: le moi lale, diasu gaguli, didili fifi ahoanu.
8 Asa had an army of 300,000 men from Judah. They all carried large shields and spears. He also had 280,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin [in his army]. They carried [smaller] shields, and bows [and arrows]. They were all brave soldiers.
Hina bagade A: isa ea dadi gagui wa: i da Yuda fi 300,000 agoane amola Bediamini fi dunu 280,000 agoane. Yuda fi dunu ilia da da: igene ga: su bagade amola goge agei gagui. Bediamini fi dunu da da: igene ga: su fonobahadi amola oulali gagui galu. Amo dunu huluanedafa da medenegini dadawa: su, amola noga: le adoba: i dunu galu.
9 Zerah, a man from Ethiopia/Sudan, marched with a huge army and 300 chariots to attack [the army of Judah and Benjamin]. They went as far as [the town of] Mareshah [about 25 miles/southwest of Jerusalem].
Idioubia dunu ea dio amo Sila ea dadi gagui idimu hamedei dunu amola ‘saliode’ 300 agoane ilia Yuda fi ilima doagala: la misi. Ilia da gusuba: i mogodigili, Malisia moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
10 Asa went [with his army] to fight against them, and both armies took their positions in the Zephathah Valley.
A: isa da dabe gegena asi, amola gegesu sogebi Sefada Fago, Malisia moilai bai bagade gadenene amogawi wa: i fi dialu.
11 Then Asa cried out to Yahweh his God, saying, “Yahweh, there is no one like you who can help those who have very little power to resist a mighty army. Yahweh our God, help us, because we are relying on you; and trusting in you we have come [to fight] against this huge army. Yahweh, you are our God; do not allow anyone to defeat you.”
Hina Bagade A: isa ea Godema amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Bagade! Di da gasa hamedei dadi gagui dunu amo gasa bagade dadi gagui defele ili gasa lama: ne hamosu dawa: Hina Gode! Waha Dia nini fidima! Bai ninia da Dima fawane dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, amola Dia Dioba: le, amo dadi gagui bagohame ilima gegemusa: misi. Hina Bagade, Di da ninia Godedafa. Dunu afaega Di hasalasimu hamedei.”
12 Then Yahweh enabled Asa and the army of Judah to defeat the army from Ethiopia. They fled,
A: isa ea dadi gagui dunu da Idioubia dadi gagui dunuma doagala: beba: le, Hina Gode da Idioubia dadi gagui hasalasi.
13 and Asa and his army pursued them [to the southwest] as far as Gerar. A huge number of the soldiers from Ethiopia were killed, with the result that those [who were not killed] were unable to fight any more. They were greatly defeated by Yahweh and his army, and the men of Judah carried away a great amount of their possessions.
Idioubia dunu da hobea: iba: le, A:isa ea dadi gagui dunu da ili se bobogele, Gila moilai bai bagadega doaga: i. Amaiba: le, Idioubia dadi gagui dunu bagohame medole legeiba: le, sagisimu hamedei ba: i. Hina Gode amola Ea dadi gagui wa: i da ilia hasali dagoi. Amola dadi gagui dunu da liligi bagohame susugui.
14 The men of Judah were able to destroy the people in villages near Gerar because Yahweh had caused the people there to become terrified [and unable to fight]. The army of Judah took away all the valuable things from those villages.
Amalalu, A:isa ea dadi gagui dunu ilia da moilai amo da Gila gadenene dialu, amo huluane gugunufinisi. Bai dunu huluane da Hina Godeba: le bagadewane beda: i. Ilia da moilai huluane mugululi, liligi bagohame susugui.
15 They also attacked the places where the local people who took care of domestic animals had set up their tents, and they took away big herds of sheep and goats and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
Ilia da ohe oule fi dunu amo huluane doagala: le, amola sibi amola ga: mele bagohame susugulalu, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega buhagi.
