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 was quiet ten years.
Abiyaanis abbootii ofii isaa wajjin boqotee Magaalaa Daawit keessatti awwaalame. Ilmi isaa Aasaan iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe; bara isaa keessas biyyattiin waggaa kudhan nagaadhaan jiraatte.
2 And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
Aasaan waan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa duratti gaarii fi qajeelaa taʼe hojjete.
3 For he took away the altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke down the images, and cut down the groves:
Innis iddoowwan aarsaa waaqota ormaa fi iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa ni diige; soodduuwwan dhagaa fi siidaawwan Aasheeraa ni caccabse.
4 And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
Akka sabni Yihuudaa Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaa barbaadu, akka seera isaa fi ajaja isaaf bulu ni ajaje.
5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
Magaalaawwan Yihuudaa hunda keessaas iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa fi iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa balleesse; mootummaanis isa jalatti nagaadhaan ni jiraate.
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
Innis waan biyyattiin nagaa argatteef Yihuudaa keessatti magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qaban ni ijaare. Sababii Waaqayyo boqonnaa isaaf kenneef waggoota sana keessa namni tokko iyyuu lola isatti hin kaafne.
7 Therefore he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about [them] walls, and towers, gates, and bars, [while] the land [is] yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought [him], and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built, and prospered.
Innis namoota Yihuudaan akkana jedhe; “Kottaa nu magaalaawwan kanneen haa ijaarru; dallaa gamoo, cufaa fi danqaraawwan qabu itti naannessinee haa ijaarru; sababii nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya barbaanneef lafti kun ammas keenyuma; nu isa barbaanne; innis karaa hundaan boqonnaa nuuf kenne.” Isaan ni ijaaran; hojiin isaaniis ni milkaaʼeef.
8 And Asa had an army [of men] that bore targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these [were] mighty men of valor.
Aasaan namoota Yihuudaa kanneen gaachana gurguddaa fi eeboo qabatan kuma dhibba sadii, namoota Beniyaam kanneen gaachana xixinnaa fi xiyyawwan qabatan kuma dhibba lamaa fi saddeettama qaba ture. Isaan kunneen hundi loltoota ciccimoo turan.
9 And there came out against them Zerah the Cushite, with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah.
Zeraan namichi Itoophiyaa tokko immoo loltoota miliyoona tokkoo fi gaariiwwan dhibba sadii fudhatee hamma Maareeshaatti isaanitti ni duule.
10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathath at Mareshah.
Aasaanis isatti baʼe; isaanis Sulula Zefaataa keessatti Maareeshaa iddoo lolaa qabatan.
11 And Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, [it is] nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou [art] our God; let not man prevail against thee.
Kana irratti Aasaan Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa waammatee akkana jedhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo, kan akka kee namoota humna hin qabne gargaaree namoota jajjaboo jalaa baasu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya, nu sitti of kennineerraatii nu gargaari; maqaa keetiinis waraana akka malee guddaa kanatti duulleerra. Yaa Waaqayyo ati Waaqa keenya; akka namni sitti cimuuf ofitti hin dhiisin.”
12 So the LORD smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites fled.
Waaqayyos fuula Aasaatii fi Yihuudaa duraa namoota Itoophiyoota ni dhaʼe; namoonni Itoophiyaas ni baqatan.
13 And Asa and the people that [were] with him pursued them to Gerar: and the Cushites were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
Aasaa fi loltoonni isaas hamma Geraaraatti isaan ariʼan. Waan Baayʼeen isaanii dhumaniif namoonni Itoophiyaa deebiʼanii bayyanachuu hin dandeenye; isaan fuula Waaqayyoo fi fuula loltoota isaa duratti barbadeeffamaniiruutii. Namoonni Yihuudaas boojuu baayʼee fudhatanii deebiʼan.
14 And they smote all the cities about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
Isaan sababii sodaachisni guddaan Waaqayyo biraa jaratti dhufeef gandoota naannoo Geraaraa jiran hunda barbadeessan. Isaanis sababii wantoonni boojiʼaman hedduun achi turaniif gandoota kanneen ni saaman.
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
Akkasumas qubatawwan tiksootaa dhaʼanii karra hoolotaa fi reʼoota akka malee hedduu fi gaalawwan illee boojiʼanii fudhatan. Ergasiis Yerusaalemitti dachaʼan.
