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.
Abia wu ma wosiee no wɔ Dawid kurom. Ne babarima Asa na odii nʼade sɛ ɔhene. Asomdwoe baa asase no so mfe du.
2 And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God,
Asa yɛɛ nea ɛsɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn no, ani.
3 and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines,
Otutuu abosonsomfo afɔremuka ne wɔn abosonnan nyinaa gui. Odwiriw wɔn afadum, twitwaa Asera nnua nyinaa.
4 and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;
Ɔhyɛɛ ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yuda se, wɔnhwehwɛ Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn no, na wonni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde nyinaa so.
5 and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
Asa san bubuu abosonnan ne nnuhuam afɔremuka fii Yuda nkurow nyinaa mu. Ɛno nti, wonyaa asomdwoe wɔ Asa ahenni mu.
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.
Saa asomdwoe mfe no mu no, otumi siesiee bammɔ nkuropɔn a ɛwɔ Yudaman mu nyinaa. Obiara anyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛko atia no saa bere yi, efisɛ na Awurade rema no ahomegye wɔ nʼatamfo nsam.
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.
Asa ka kyerɛɛ Yudafo se, “Momma yɛnkyekye nkurow, na yentwa afasu mfa ho mfa mmɔ ho ban. Yɛbɛyɛ abantenten, asisi apon, ayɛ nnadeban nso. Asase no yɛ yɛn dea, efisɛ yɛsrɛɛ Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn, na wama yɛn ahomegye wɔ yɛn atamfo nsam.” Enti wɔkɔɔ so yɛɛ saa nnwuma yi de baa awiei.
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.
Na ɔhene Asa wɔ akofo mpem ahaasa a wofi Yuda abusuakuw mu a wɔwɔ nkatabo ne mpeaw akɛse. Afei, na ɔwɔ akofo mpem ahannu aduɔwɔtwe a wofi Benyamin abusua mu a wokurakura nkatabo ne agyan nketewa. Na akofo akokodurufo wɔ saa asraafodɔm abien yi mu.
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,
Bere bi, Etiopiani bi a wɔfrɛ no Serah de asraafodɔm ɔpepem baako ne nteaseɛnam ahaasa, kɔtow hyɛɛ Yuda so. Wɔkɔ koduu Maresa kuropɔn mu.
10 and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Asa nso boaa nʼakofo ano ne wɔn kɔkoo wɔ Sefata bon mu a ɛbɛn Maresa.
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!
Asa teɛɛ mu, frɛɛ Awurade ne Nyankopɔn se, “Awurade, wo nko ara na wubetumi aboa nea ɔyɛ mmerɛw na watumi ako atia ɔhoɔdenfo! Boa yɛn, Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, efisɛ wo nko ara ne yɛn anidaso. Wo din mu na yɛrehyia dɔm kɛse yi. Awurade, woyɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn, na mma kwan mma nnipa teta nsɔre ntia wo!”
12 And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
Na Awurade dii Etiopiafo no so nkonim wɔ Asa ne Yuda asraafodɔm no anim, na atamfo no guanee.
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,
Asa ne nʼakofo no taa wɔn ara kosii Gerar, maa Etiopiafo no bebree totɔe a wɔantumi ammoa wɔn ho ano. Awurade ne nʼakofo dwerɛw wɔn, na Yuda asraafo no nyaa asade bebree kɔe.
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;
Bere a wɔwɔ Gerar no, wɔtow hyɛɛ nkurow a ɛwɔ beae hɔ nyinaa so, na Awurade ho huboa tɔɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no so. Awiei no, wonyaa asade bebree wɔ saa nkurow no so nso.
15 and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem.
Wɔsan tow hyɛɛ mmoahwɛfo atenae, kyekyeree nguan ne yoma, ansa na wɔresan akɔ Yerusalem.
