2 Istwa 14

1 Konsa, Abija te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan lavil David la. Fis li a, Asa, te vin wa nan plas li. Peyi a te rete kalm e san pwoblèm pandan dizan pandan jou li yo.

So Abiiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade: in whose dayes the lande was quiet ten yeere.

2 Asa te fè byen ak sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, Bondye li a,

And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.

3 paske li te retire lotèl etranje yo avèk wo plas yo, e li te chire pilye sakre yo avèk Asherim yo.

For he tooke away the altars of the strange gods and the hie places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues,

4 Li te kòmande Juda pou chache SENYÈ a zansèt yo a, e swiv lalwa avèk kòmandman an.

And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement.

5 Li te osi retire wo plas yo avèk lotèl lansan yo soti nan tout vil Juda yo. Wayòm nan te rete kalm anba li.

And he tooke away out of all the cities of Iudah the hie places, and the images: therefore the kingdome was quiet before him.

6 Li te bati vil fòtifye Juda yo, akoz peyi a te san pwoblèm e pa t gen okenn moun ki te fè lagè avèk li pandan ane sila yo, akoz SENYÈ a te ba li repo.

He built also strong cities in Iudah, because the lande was in rest, and he had no warre in those yeeres: for the Lord had giuen him rest.

7 Paske li te di a Juda: “Annou bati vil sila yo e antoure yo avèk miray avèk wo tou, pòtay avèk ba an fè. Peyi a toujou pou nou akoz nou te chache SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou te chache Li, e Li te bannou repo sou tout kote.” Konsa yo te bati e yo te byen reyisi.

Therefore he saide to Iudah, Let vs builde these cities and make walles about, and towers, gates, and barres, whiles the lande is before vs: because we haue sought the Lord our God, we haue sought him, and he hath giuen vs rest on euery side: so they built and prospered.

8 Alò, Asa te gen yon lame a twa-san-mil mesye soti nan Juda, avèk gran boukliye defans ak lans e de-san-katreven-mil soti nan Benjamin ki te pote boukliye defans e te manyen banza. Tout nan yo, te gèrye ki plen kouraj.

And Asa had an armie of Iudah that bare shieldes and speares, three hundreth thousande, and of Beniamin that bare shieldes and drewe bowes, two hundreth and foure score thousande: all these were valiant men.

9 Alò, Zérach, Etyopyen an, te vin parèt kont yo avèk yon lame a yon-milyon moun ak twa-san cha, e li te rive nan Maréscha.

And there came out against them Zerah of Ethiopia with an hoste of ten hundreth thousande, and three hundreth charets, and came vnto Mareshah.

10 Pou sa, Asa te sòti pou rankontre li, e yo te parèt nan chan batay yo nan vale Maréschja a.

Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battell in aray in the valley of Zephathah beside Mareshah.

11 Konsa, Asa te rele SENYÈ a, Bondye li a. Li te di: “SENYÈ, nanpwen lòt sof ke Ou menm pou ede pami pwisan yo, ak sila ki san fòs. Pou sa, ede nou, O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an; paske nou mete konfyans nan Ou, e nan non Ou, nou te vini kont gran foul sila a. O SENYÈ, se Ou ki Bondye nou an. Pa kite lòm pran viktwa kont Ou menm.”

And Asa cryed vnto the Lord his God, and saide, Lord, it is nothing with thee to helpe with many, or with no power: helpe vs, O Lord our God: for we rest on thee, and in thy Name are we come against this multitude: O Lord, thou art our God, let not man preuaile against thee.

12 Konsa, SENYÈ a te boulvèse Etyopyen devan Asa yo ak devan Juda yo, e Etyopyen yo te sove ale.

So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.

13 Asa avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te kouri dèyè yo jis rive Guérar. Yon tèlman gran kantite Etyopyen te tonbe ke yo pa t kab kanpe ankò; paske yo te kraze nèt devan SENYÈ a ak devan lame Li a. Lame Juda a te pote fè sòti yon trè gran piyaj.

And Asa and the people that was with him, pursued them vnto Gerar. And the Ethiopians hoste was ouerthrowen, so that there was no life in them: for they were destroyed before the Lord and before his hoste: and they caryed away a mightie great spoyle.

14 Yo te detwi tout vil ki te antoure Guérar yo, paske laperèz SENYÈ a te fin tonbe sou vil yo. Epi yo te depouye tout vil yo, paske yo te gen anpil piyaj.

And they smote all the cities rounde about Gerar: for the feare of the Lord came vpon them, and they spoyled all the cities, for there was exceeding much spoyle in them.

15 Anplis, yo te touye sila ki te gen bèt yo, e yo te pote ale yon gran kantite mouton avèk chamo. Answit, yo te retounen Jérusalem.

Yea, and they smote the tents of cattel, and carried away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Ierusalem.
