2 Chronicles 14
1 And Abijah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead: in his days was the land quiet ten years.
Nake Abija akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo kũu Itũũra-inĩ Inene rĩa Daudi. Nake mũriũ Asa agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake, na matukũ-inĩ make bũrũri ũgĩikara na thayũ mĩaka ikũmi.
2 And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God,
Nake Asa agĩĩka maũndũ mega, na marĩa maagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Jehova Ngai wake.
3 and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines,
Akĩeheria magongona ma ngai cia mabũrũri ma kũngĩ, na kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na agĩthethera mahiga marĩa maamũre, na agĩtemenga itugĩ cia Ashera.
4 and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;
Nake agĩatha andũ a Juda marongorie Jehova, Ngai wa maithe mao, na maathĩkĩre mawatho na maathani make.
5 and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
Ningĩ akĩeheria mahooero ma kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na igongona cia ũbumba matũũra-inĩ mothe ma Juda, naguo ũthamaki ũcio aathaga wa Juda ũgĩikara na thayũ.
6 And he buildeth cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land hath quiet, and there is no war with him in these years, because Jehovah hath given rest to him.
Nĩaakire matũũra manene mairigĩre na thingo cia hinya ma Juda, nĩgũkorwo bũrũri warĩ na thayũ. Gũtirĩ mũndũ warĩ na mbaara nake mĩaka ĩyo, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩamũheete ũhurũko.
7 And he saith to Judah, 'Let us build these cities, and compass [them] with wall, and towers, two-leaved doors, and bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God, we have sought, and He giveth rest to us round about;' and they build and prosper.
Nake akĩĩra andũ a Juda atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwakei matũũra maya na twake thingo cia kũmathiũrũrũkĩria irĩ na mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ, na ihingo na mĩgĩĩko ya igera. Bũrũri ũyũ no witũ, tondũ nĩtũrongoretie Jehova Ngai witũ; twamũrongoririe nake agĩtũhe ũhurũko na mĩena yothe.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩaka na makĩgaacĩra.
8 And there is to Asa a force bearing target and spear, out of Judah three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, bearing shield and treading bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these [are] mighty of valour.
Asa aarĩ na mbũtũ ya thigari 300,000 iria cioimĩte Juda irĩ na ngo nene na matimũ, na ingĩ 280,000 iria cioimĩte Benjamini ikuuĩte ngo nini na mota. Ici ciothe ciarĩ thigari nyũmĩrĩru cia kũrũa mbaara.
9 And come out unto them doth Zerah the Cushite with a force of a thousand thousand, and chariots three hundred, and he cometh in unto Mareshah,
Zera ũrĩa Mũkushi agĩũka kũmũũkĩrĩra arĩ na mbũtũ nene ya thigari na ngaari cia ita 300, nake agĩũka agĩkinya Maresha.
10 and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Nake Asa akiumagara agĩthiĩ kũmũtũnga, nao makĩarania mbaara yao kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Zefathu gũkuhĩ na Maresha.
11 And Asa calleth unto Jehovah his God, and saith, 'Jehovah! it is nothing with Thee to help, between the mighty and those who have no power; help us, O Jehovah, our God, for on Thee we have leant, and in Thy name we have come against this multitude; O Jehovah, our God thou [art]; let him not prevail with Thee — mortal man!
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Asa agĩkaĩra Jehova Ngai wake, akiuga atĩrĩ: “Jehova, gũtirĩ ũngĩ ũhaana tawe wa gũteithũra arĩa matarĩ hinya kuuma kũrĩ arĩa maarĩ hinya. Tũteithie, Wee Jehova Ngai witũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe twĩhokete, na nĩ thĩinĩ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩaku tuoka gũũkĩrĩra mbũtũ ĩno nene ũũ. Wee Jehova-rĩ, nĩwe Ngai witũ, ndũkareke mũndũ akũhoote.”
12 And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩũraga Akushi o hau mbere ya Asa na mbere ya andũ a Juda. Nao Akushi makĩũra,
13 and Asa and the people who [are] with him pursue them even to Gerar, and there fall of the Cushim, for they have no preserving, because they have been broken before Jehovah, and before His camp; and they bear away very much spoil,
nake Asa na mbũtũ yake makĩmaingatithia, makĩmakinyia o nginya Gerari. Akushi aingĩ mũno makĩũragwo ũũ atĩ gũtirĩ watigirwo muoyo, makĩniinĩrwo o hau mbere ya Jehova o na mbere ya mbũtũ ciake. Andũ a Juda makĩinũkia indo nyingĩ iria maatahire.
14 and smite all the cities round about Gerar, for a fear of Jehovah hath been upon them, and they spoil all the cities, for abundant spoil hath been in them;
Makĩananga tũtũũra tuothe tũrĩa twathiũrũrũkĩirie Gerari, nĩgũkorwo guoya wa Jehova nĩwanyiitĩte andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo. Nao magĩtaha indo cia tũtũũra tũu tuothe nĩgũkorwo twarĩ na indo nyingĩ mũno cia gũtahwo.
15 and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem.
O na ningĩ magĩtharĩkĩra kambĩ cia arĩithi na magĩtaha ndũũru cia ngʼondu, na cia mbũri, na cia ngamĩĩra. Nao magĩcooka Jerusalemu.
