2 Tarihi 14
1 Abiya kuwa ya huta tare da kakanninsa, aka kuma binne shi a Birnin Dawuda. Asa ɗansa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki, a zamaninsa kuma ƙasar ta zauna lafiya na shekara goma.
So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years.
2 Asa ya yi abin da yake da kyau da kuma daidai a gaban Ubangiji Allahnsa.
And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God;
3 Ya kawar da baƙin bagade da masujadai bisa tudu, ya farfashe keɓaɓɓun duwatsu, ya kuma sassare ginshiƙan Ashera.
For he took away the altars of strange gods and the high places, and had the upright stones broken and the wood pillars cut down;
4 Ya umarci Yahuda su nemi Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, su kuma yi biyayya da dokoki da kuma umarnansa.
And he made Judah go after the Lord, the God of their fathers, and keep his laws and his orders.
5 Ya kawar da masujadan kan tudu da bagadan turare a kowane gari a Yahuda, masarautar kuwa ta zauna lafiya a ƙarƙashinsa.
And he took away the high places and the sun-images from all the towns of Judah; and the kingdom was quiet under his rule.
6 Ya gina biranen katanga na Yahuda, da yake ƙasar tana zaman lafiya. Babu wanda yake yaƙi da shi a waɗannan shekaru, gama Ubangiji ya ba shi hutu.
He made walled towns in Judah, for the land was quiet and there were no wars in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.
7 Ya ce wa Yahuda, “Bari mu gina waɗannan garuruwa mu sa katanga kewaye da su, da hasumiyoyi, ƙofofi da ƙyamare. Ƙasar har yanzu tamu ce domin mun nemi Ubangiji Allahnmu, mun neme shi ya kuwa ba mu hutu a kowane gefe.” Saboda haka suka gina suka kuma yi nasara.
He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.
8 Asa ya kasance da mayaƙa dubu ɗari uku daga Yahuda, kintsatse da manyan garkuwoyi da māsu, da kuma mayaƙa dubu ɗari biyu da dubu tamanin daga Benyamin, riƙe da ƙananan garkuwoyi da kuma baka. Dukan waɗannan jarumawa ne ƙwarai.
And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war.
9 Zera mutumin Kush ya taka ya fita don yă yaƙe su da babban runduna da kuma kekunan yaƙi ɗari uku, ya kuma zo har Maresha.
And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah.
10 Asa ya fita don yă ƙara da shi, suka ja dāgā yaƙi a Kwarin Zefata kusa da Maresha.
And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah.
11 Sai Asa ya kira ga Ubangiji Allahnsa ya ce, “Ubangiji, babu wani kamar ka da zai taimaki marar ƙarfi a kan mai ƙarfi. Ka taimake mu, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu, gama mun dogara a gare ka, kuma a cikin sunanka muka fito don mu yaƙi wannan babbar runduna. Ya Ubangiji, kai ne Allahnmu; kada ka bar mutum yă yi nasara a kanka.”
And Asa made prayer to the Lord his God and said, Lord, you only are able to give help against the strong to him who has no strength; come to our help, O Lord our God, for our hope is in you, and in your name we have come out against this great army. O Lord, you are our God; let not man's power be greater than yours.
12 Ubangiji fa ya bugi mutanen Kush a gaban Asa da Yahuda. Mutanen Kush suka gudu,
So the Lord sent fear on the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah; and the Ethiopians went in flight.
13 Asa kuwa da mayaƙansa suka bi su har Gerar. Mutanen Kush suka mutu a ranan nan har ba a iya ƙidaya, aka buge su a gaban Ubangiji da rundunansa. Mutanen Yahuda suka kwashi ganima sosai.
And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they took away a great amount of their goods.
14 Suka hallaka dukan ƙauyukan kewaye da Gerar, gama tsoron Ubangiji ya kama su. Suka kwashi ganima na dukan ƙauyukan nan, da yake akwai ganima sosai a can.
And they overcame all the towns round Gerar, because the Lord sent fear on them; and they took away their goods from the towns, for there were stores of wealth in them.
15 Suka kuma yaƙi sansanin makiyaya suka kwashe tumaki da awaki da raƙuma. Suka koma Urushalima.
And they made an attack on the tents of the owners of the cattle, and took away great numbers of sheep and camels and went back to Jerusalem.
