II Oihanaalii 14
1 A HIAMOE o Abiia me kona mau kupuna, a kanu lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida; a noho alii iho la o Asa, kana keiki mahope ona. I kona mau la, ua maluhia ka aina i na makahiki he umi.
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.
2 Hana iho la o Asa i ka maikai a me ka pololei, imua o Iehova kona Akua.
And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God,
3 Lawe aku la oia i na kuahu o na akua e, a me na wahi kiekie, wawahi iho la oia i na kii, kulai no hoi i na kii o Asetarota.
and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines,
4 A kauoha ae la oia i ka Iuda e imi ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou kupuna, a e malama i kona kanawai, a me kana kauoha.
and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;
5 Lawe aku la ia mailoko aku o na kulanakauhale a pau o Iuda, i na wahi kiekie, a me na kii; a maluhia iho la ke aupuni imua ona.
and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
6 A kukulu iho la ia i na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa ma Iuda; no ka mea, ua maluhia ka aina, aohe ona kaua i kela mau makahiki, no ka mea, hoomalu mai o Iehova ia ia.
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.
7 Olelo aku la oia i ka Iuda, Ina kakou, e kukulu kakou i keia mau kulanakauhale, e hana a puni i na pa, a me na halekiai, a me na ipuka, a me na mea e paa ai, oiai ka aina ia kakou; no ka mea, ua imi kakou ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, ua imi no kakou, a ua hoomalu mai ia ia kakou a puni: a kukulu ae la lakou me ka pomaikai.
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.
8 Aia ia Asa he poe koa, he poe lawe palekaua a me na ihe, noloko mai o Iuda ekolu haneri tausani; a noloko mai o Beniamina, he poe lawe i na aahuapoo, a he poe lena i na kakaka, elua haneri a me kanawalu tausani; he poe koa ikaika keia poe a pau loa.
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.
9 A hele mai io lakou la o Zera no Aitiopa mai me ka poe koa, hookahi tausani tausani, a me na kaa kaua ekolu haneri, a hiki mai lakou i Maresa.
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,
10 A hele ku e o Asa ia ia, a hoonohonoho i ke kaua ma ke awawa o Zepata ma Maresa.
and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 A kahea aku la o Asa ia Iehova, i kona Akua, i aku la, E Iehova, ua like wale no ia oe ke kokua mamuli o ka poe lehulehu, a mamuli hoi o ka poe ikaika ole: e kokua mai ia makou, e Iehova ko makou Akua; no ka mea, ke hilinai aku nei makou ia oe, a ma kou inoa makou e hele ku e aku ai i keia poe lehulehu. E Iehova, o oe no ko makou Akua; mai noho oe a lanakila ke kanaka maluna ou.
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!
12 Alaila, luku mai la o Iehova i ko Aitiopa imua o Asa, a imua o ka Iuda; a auhee aku la ko Aitiopa.
And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
13 Alualu aku la o Asa a me na kanaka me ia a hiki i Gerara; haule ko Aitiopa, aole i hiki ia lakou ke ola; no ka mea, ua lukuia lakou imua o Iehova, a imua o kona poe koa, a ua lawe lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui loa.
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,
14 A luku lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau a puni o Gerara, no ka mea, maluna o lakou ka makau ia Iehova; a hoopio lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau; a he nui loa ka waiwai pio iloko olaila.
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;
15 A luku lakou i na halelewa o na holoholona, a lawe aku la lakou i na hipa a me na kamelo he nui loa, a hoi lakou i Ierusalema.
and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem.
