Luo Chronicle 14

1 Tokosra Abijah el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun leum in Siti sel David. Asa, wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra, ac in pacl in leum lal Asa mwet uh elos insewowokin moul misla ke lusen yac singoul.

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 Asa el akinsewowoye LEUM GOD lal ke el oru ma wo ac ma suwohs.

And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:

3 El moklela loang lun mwet saya, ac nien alu lun mwet pegan, ac kunausya sru eot oal lalos, ac pakiya ma sruloala kacl god mutan Asherah.

For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and broke down the images, and cut down the groves:

4 El sap mwet Judah in oru ma lungse lun LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos, ac in akos mwe luti ac ma sap lal.

And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

5 Ke sripen el kunausla nien alu lun mwet pegan ac loang in esukak mwe keng in siti nukewa lun Judah, ouinge tokosrai lal muta in misla in pacl lal.

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 El musaela mwe akkeye siti lun Judah in pacl sac, na wangin mweun orek we ke yac puspis, mweyen LEUM GOD El sang misla nu sel.

And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.

7 El fahk nu sin mwet Judah, “Lela kut in akkeyala siti inge, ac musaela pot ac tower, oayapa mutunpot su ku in kauli ku. Acn uh srakna oan ye ku lasr mweyen kut oru ma lungse lun LEUM GOD lasr. El karinginkutme ac El oru tuh in oasr misla inmasrlosr ac mwet nukewa su apinkutla.” Ke ma inge, elos musa ac arulana kapkapak.

Therefore he said to 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 the LORD our God, we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

8 Oasr mwet mweun tolfoko tausin lal Tokosra Asa sin mwet Judah su us mwe loang ac osra, oayapa mwet mweun luofoko oalngoul tausin sin mwet Benjamin su us mwe loang ac mwe pisr. Elos nukewa mwet pulaik ac pisrla ke mweun.

And Asa had an army of men that bore targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.

9 Oasr mwet mweun se lun acn Ethiopia su pangpang Zerah. El tuh us sie million mwet mweun ac tolfoko chariot, ac utyak ke ku nu in acn Judah. Elos sun siti se pangpang Mareshah.

And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah.

10 Asa el illa in mweunel, na u luo inge kewa tueni ac akola in mweun ke Infahlfal Zephathah, apkuran nu Mareshah.

Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

11 Asa el pre nu sin LEUM GOD lal ac fahk, “O LEUM GOD, kom ku in kasru un mwet mweun munas oapana un mwet mweun na ku. Kasrekut inge, O LEUM GOD lasr, mweyen finsrak lasr oan in kom, ac ke Inem kut illa in mweun lain un mwet mweun lulap se inge. LEUM GOD, kom God lasr. Wangin sie mwet ac finsrak mu el ku in kutangkomla.”

And Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with you to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on you, and in your name we go against this multitude. O LORD, you are our God; let no man prevail against you.

12 LEUM GOD El kutangla mwet Ethiopia ke Asa ac mwet mweun meunelos. Mwet Ethiopia elos kaingla,

So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

13 na Asa ac mwet lal ukwalos nwe ke sun acn Gerar. Pukanten na mwet Ethiopia anwuki, pwanang upa nu selos in sifil mweun. Elos toanyuki sin LEUM GOD ac mwet mweun lal, ac mwet Judah elos eis ma wap puspis lalos.

And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.

14 Na elos kunausla siti ma rauneak acn Gerar, mweyen mwet we elos arulana sangeng sin LEUM GOD. Mwet mweun elos kunausla siti nukewa we ac sruokya ma wap puspis.

And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came on them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.

15 Elos oayapa lain un mwet shepherd, ac eisla sheep ac camel pukanten. Na elos folokla nu Jerusalem.

They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
