2 Cronicas 14
1 Pimmusay ni Abias ket intabonda isuna iti siudad ni David. Ni Asa a putotna ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari. Kadagiti aldawna, adda talna iti daga iti las-ud ti sangapulo a tawen.
So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
2 Inaramid ni Asa ti nasayaat ken nalinteg iti imatang ni Yahweh a Diosna,
And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Yhwh his God:
3 ta inikkatna dagiti altar dagiti didiosen ken dagiti pagdaydayawan; rinebbana dagiti nasagradoan nga adigi a bato ken tinumbana dagiti tekken ni Asera.
For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
4 Binilinna ti Juda a sapulenda ni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanda, ken tungpalenda ti linteg ken dagiti bilinna.
And commanded Judah to seek Yhwh God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
5 Inikkatna pay dagiti pagdaydayawan ken dagiti altar a pagpupuoran iti insenso kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda. Natalna ti pagarian ti Juda iti babaen ti turayna.
Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
6 Nangibangon isuna kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad idiay Juda, ta adda talna iti daga, ken awan ti gubat kadagidiay nga aldaw, gapu ta inikkan isuna ni Yahweh iti talna.
And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Yhwh had given him rest.
7 Ta kinuna ni Asa iti Juda, “Bangonentayo dagitoy a siudad ken paderantayo ti aglawlaw dagitoy, agaramidtayo kadagiti torre, kadagiti ruangan ken kadagiti balunet; kukuatayo pay laeng ti daga gapu ta sinapultayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo. Sinapultayo isuna, ket inikkannatayo iti talna iti aglawlaw.” Isu a nangbangonda ket nagballigida.
Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us; because we have sought Yhwh our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
8 Addaan ni Asa iti armada a nakaawit kadagiti kalasag ken gayang; addaan isuna iti 300, 000 a lallaki manipud iti Juda ken 280, 000 a lallaki manipud iti Benjamin a nakaawit kadagiti kalasag ken kadagiti pana. Amin dagitoy ket mamaingel ken natutured a lallaki.
And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.
9 Rinaut ida ni Zera a taga-Etiopia a kaduana ti armadana a buklen ti maysa a milyon a soldado ken tallo gasut a karuahe; dimteng isuna idiay Maresa.
And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.
10 Ket napan sinabat ni Asa isuna, sada nagpuesto iti tanap ti Zefata idiay Maresa.
Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 Immawag ni Asa kenni Yahweh a Diosna, a kunana, “O Yahweh, awanen sabali no di sika laeng ti makatulong iti awan pigsana inton adu ti sarangetenna. Tulongannakami O Yahweh a Diosmi, ta agtalekkami kenka, ket iti naganmo, sarangetenmi daytoy nga adu unay a soldado. O Yahweh, sika ti Diosmi; saanmo nga ipalubos a parmekennaka ti tao.”
And Asa cried unto Yhwh his God, and said, Yhwh, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O Yhwh our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O Yhwh, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
12 Isu a dinangran ni Yahweh dagiti taga-Etiopia iti sangoanan ni Asa ken ti Juda; naglibas dagiti taga-Etiopia.
So Yhwh smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
13 Kinamat ida ni Asa ken dagiti soldado a kaduana agingga idiay Gerar. Isu nga adu unay a taga-Etiopia ti napasag ket saandan a makabangon, ta naan-anay a nadadaelda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ken iti armadana. Nakaad-adu unay ti sinamsam ti armada ni Asa.
And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before Yhwh, and before his army; and they carried away very much spoil.
14 Dinadael ti armada dagiti amin a barrio iti aglawlaw ti Gerar, ta immay kadagiti agnanaed sadiay ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh. Sinamsaman ti armada dagiti amin a barrio, ket adu unay ti masamsam kadagitoy.
And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of Yhwh came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
15 Dinadael met ti armada dagiti tolda a pagnanaedan dagiti agipaspastor; innalada dagiti adu a karnero, kasta met dagiti kamelio, sada nagsubli idiay Jerusalem.
They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
