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.
И успе Авиа со отцы своими, и погребоша его во граде Давидове. И воцарися Аса сын его вместо его во дни же Асы почи земля Иудина лет десять.
2 And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
И сотвори Аса благое и правое пред Господем Богом своим:
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:
и отверже олтари чуждых и высокая, и сокруши идолы и посече дубравы:
4 And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
и повеле Иуде, да взыщет Господа Бога отец своих и да сотворит закон Его и заповеди:
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.
и изверже из всех градов Иудиных олтари и идолы, и царствова в мире.
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.
И созда грады крепки в земли Иудине, зане в покои бысть земля, и не бе ему брани в лета сия, мир во Господь даде ему.
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.
Рече же Иуде: созиждем грады сия, и сотворим стены и столпы, и врата и вереи, дондеже землею господствуем: зане якоже взыскахом Господа Бога нашего, взыска и нас, и воздаде нам мир окрест, и благопоспешствова нам.
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.
И бысть сила Асе оруженосцев носящих щиты и копия в земли Иудине триста тысящ, в земли же Вениамини щитников и стрелцев двести осмьдесят тысящ: вси сии воини сильнии.
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.
Изыде же противу их Зарай Ефиоплянин с силою в тысящы тысящей, и колесниц триста, и прииде даже до Мариса.
10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathath at Mareshah.
И изыде Аса противу ему и устрои брань в дебри на север Мариса.
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.
И возопи Аса ко Господу Богу своему и рече: Господи, не изнеможет у Тебе спасати во многих и в малых, укрепи нас, Господи Боже наш, яко на Тя уповахом и о имени Твоем изыдохом на множество многое сие: Господи Боже наш, Ты еси Бог, да не превозможет противу Тебе человек.
12 So the LORD smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites fled.
И порази Господь Ефиопы пред Асою и Иудою и бежаша Ефиопи:
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.
и погна их Аса и людие его даже до Гедора: и падоша Ефиопи, даже не быти в них останку, яко сотрени быша пред Господем и пред силою Его, и плениша корысти многи:
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.
и изсекоша веси их окрест Гедора, велик бо страх Господень объят их, и плениша вся грады их, зане многи корысти быша в них:
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
и кущы скотския и амазонов изсекоша, и взяша скота множество и велблюды, и возвратишася во Иерусалим.
