1 Hagi kini ne' Abija'ma frige'za Deviti rankumapi afahe'mokizmima asente'nafi Jerusalemi asente'naze. Hagi nemofo Asa, nefa nona erino kinia manigeno, ana knafina ha'zana omnegeno, 10ni'a kafufina fru hu'za mani'naze.
When Abijah died, he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. His son Asa became the king. While Asa was ruling, there was peace in Judah for ten years.
2 Hagi Asa'a fatgo avu'ava Ra Anumzana Anumzama'amofo avurera hu'ne.
Asa did things that Yahweh his God considers to be right and good.
3 Na'ankure Asa'a havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza kre sramnavu itane, mono'ma hunentaza kuma'ma agonaregama me'neana taganavazitreno mono'ma hunentaza havene, havi anumza asera amema'ama antrente'nezama mono'ma hunentaza zafaraminena antagi atre'ne.
His workers got rid of the altars to worship foreign gods that were on the high hills. They smashed the sacred stone pillars and cut down the poles for worshiping [the goddess] Asherah.
4 Ana nehuno Asa'a maka Juda vahera amanage huno zamasami'ne, Ra Anumzana tamafahe'i Anumzamofo monora hunenteta Agri kasegene, tra ke'ane amagera anteho huno hu'ne.
Asa commanded the people of Judah to worship [only] Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors worshiped, and to obey his laws and commands.
5 Hagi maka Juda rankumampintira agonaregama havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumatamine, mnanentake'zama kre mna nevaza itanena tagna vazinetreno, Juda vahera kegava huzmantege'za hara osu fru hu'za mani'naze.
His workers destroyed all the shrines on the hilltops and the altars for burning incense [to idols] in every town in Judah. As a result, there was peace while Asa ruled the kingdom [of Judah].
6 Hagi ana knafina ha'zana omnegeno, Asa'a Juda mopafima me'nea ranra kumatamimofo kuma kegina eri hankavetino ki'ne. E'ina kafu'afina ha'ma hu'zana omnene. Na'ankure Anumzamo'a mani fru ami'negu anara hu'ne.
His workers built cities and constructed walls around them. No army attacked Judah during that time, because Yahweh enabled them to have peace.
7 Hagi Asa'a amanage huno Juda vahe'mokizmia zamasami'ne, Ranra kumatmi kita vihurami tro huganegita, kvama hu'za mani'naza nontamine, kuma kafane hagentesune. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Anumzantimofo amage antonkeno, maka kaziga mopa tamigeta hara huta eri'none. Anage nehige'za ranra kumatmina negizageno maka zama hazazamo'a knareke'za hu'ne.
Asa said to the people of Judah, “We should protect these towns by building walls around them, with watchtowers and gates that have bars. This country still belongs to us because we have requested Yahweh our God to help us. We requested him for his help, and he has given us peace in our entire country.” So they built buildings and prospered.
8 Hagi Asa sondia vahera Juda nagapina ranra hankoramine karugru keveraminema eri sondia vahetmina 300tauseni'a manizageno, Benzameni nagapina osi hankoramine atine kevene eri sondia vahetamina 280 tauseni'a vahe mani'naze.
Asa had an army of 300,000 men from Judah. They all carried large shields and spears. He also had 280,000 men from the tribe of Benjamin [in his army]. They carried [smaller] shields, and bows [and arrows]. They were all brave soldiers.
9 Hagi Itiopia ne' Zera'a 1milioni'a sondia vahe nezmavreno, 300'a karisine erino hara eme huzmante'naku Juda mopafina, Maresa kumate ehanati'ne.
Zerah, a man from Ethiopia/Sudan, marched with a huge army and 300 chariots to attack [the army of Judah and Benjamin]. They went as far as [the town of] Mareshah [about 25 miles/southwest of Jerusalem].
10 Anama higeno'a Asa'a ha' ome hunte'naku sondia vahe'ane vuno, Maresa kuma tava'onte Zefati agupofi ome avazuhumpi hu'za oti'naze.
Asa went [with his army] to fight against them, and both armies took their positions in the Zephathah Valley.
11 Anama nehazageno'a Asa'a Ra Anumzana, agra'a Anumzamofontega anage huno nunamuna hu'ne, Ra Anumzamoka, sondia vaheni'ane nagranena hankavetia omne vahe manunkeno, Zerana rama'a sondia vahetami mani'naze. Hianagi Kagra hankavezmima omne sondia vahe zamaza nehanke'za, hanave sondia vahera hara hu'za zamagateneraza Anumza mani'nane. Kagri kagire tamentinti hunankino, mago vahe'mo'e huno hara Ra Anumzamoka hu kagateoregahie.
Then Asa cried out to Yahweh his God, saying, “Yahweh, there is no one like you who can help those who have very little power to resist a mighty army. Yahweh our God, help us, because we are relying on you; and trusting in you we have come [to fight] against this huge army. Yahweh, you are our God; do not allow anyone to defeat you.”
12 Anagema hutegeno, Ra Anumzamo'a Asane Juda vahetmimofo zmavuga, Itiopia sondia vahera hara hu zmagaterege'za, Itiopia sondia vahe'mo'za atre'za koro fre'naze.
Then Yahweh enabled Asa and the army of Judah to defeat the army from Ethiopia. They fled,
13 Hagi Asa'ene sondia vahe'amo'za zamagenere'za zamaheme vu'za Gerari kumate Itiopia vahera ome zamahage'za rama'a vahe fri'naze. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofone sondia vahe'amofo avuga panani hu'za fre'naze. Ana nehu'za Itiopia vahe keonke'zana tusi'a zantmi eri'za e'naze.
and Asa and his army pursued them [to the southwest] as far as Gerar. A huge number of the soldiers from Ethiopia were killed, with the result that those [who were not killed] were unable to fight any more. They were greatly defeated by Yahweh and his army, and the men of Judah carried away a great amount of their possessions.
14 Hagi Gerari tva'onte'ma megagi'nea kumatmina ha' huzmante'za kumazmia eri haviza hu'naze. Na'ankure tusiza huno Ra Anumzamo'a zamazeri koro hu'ne. Ana nehu'za ana kumatamimpintira fenona eri'naze. Na'ankure ana kumatmimpina tusi'a feno me'nege'za anara hu'naze.
The men of Judah were able to destroy the people in villages near Gerar because Yahweh had caused the people there to become terrified [and unable to fight]. The army of Judah took away all the valuable things from those villages.
15 Hagi sipisipi afutamine meme afutaminte'ma kegavama nehaza vahetmimofo seli nona zamahe'za tagana nevazi'za sipisipi afutamine, meme afutamine, kemoli afutaminena zamavare'za Jerusalemi e'naze.
They also attacked the places where the local people who took care of domestic animals had set up their tents, and they took away big herds of sheep and goats and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
