Otra Laiku 14
1 Un Abija aizmiga pie saviem tēviem, un to apraka Dāvida pilī; un viņa dēls Asa palika par ķēniņu viņa vietā. Viņa laikā zemei bija miers desmit gadus.
And Abia died with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In the days of Asa the land of Juda had rest ten years.
2 Un Asa darīja, kas bija pareizi un Tam Kungam, viņa Dievam, labi patika,
And he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.
3 Un izdeldēja svešo dievu altārus un elku kalnus un nolauzīja tēlu stabus un nocirta Ašeras.
And he removed the altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke the pillars in pieces, and cut down the groves:
4 Un pavēlēja, lai Jūda meklē To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu, un dara bauslību un pavēli.
and he told Juda to seek earnestly the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and commandments.
5 Un viņš izdeldēja no visām Jūda pilsētām elku kalnus un dievekļus, jo valsts apakš viņa bija mierā.
And he removed from all the cities of Juda the altars and the idols, and established in quietness
6 Viņš arī uzcēla stipras pilsētas iekš Jūda, jo zeme bija mierā, un tanīs gados karš pret viņu nebija, jo Tas Kungs viņam deva mieru.
fortified cities in the land of Juda; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in these years; for the Lord gave him rest.
7 Un viņš sacīja uz Jūdu: uzcelsim šīs pilsētas un mūrēsim mūrus apkārt un torņus, un taisīsim vārtus un aizšaujamos; vēl tā zeme mums pieder; jo mēs To Kungu, savu Dievu, esam meklējuši, mēs esam meklējuši, un viņš mums visapkārt devis mieru. Tā tie būvēja un tiem labi izdevās.
And he said to Juda, Let us fortify these cities, and make walls, and towers, and gates, and bars: we shall prevail over the land, for as we have sought out the Lord our God, he has sought out us, and has given us rest round about, and prospered us.
8 Un Asam bija karaspēks, trīssimt tūkstoši no Jūda ar šķēpiem un priekšturamām bruņām, un no Benjamina divsimt astoņdesmit tūkstoši ar priekšturamām bruņām un stopiem, šie visi bija stipri varoņi.
And Asa had a force of armed men bearing shields and spears in the land of Juda, [even] three hundred thousand, and in the land of Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand targeteers and archers: all these were mighty warriors.
9 Un pret tiem cēlās Zerus, Moru ķēniņš, ar karaspēku, ar tūkstoš reiz tūkstošiem un ar trīs simt ratiem, un atnāca līdz Marezai.
And Zare the Ethiopian went out against them, with a force of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Maresa.
10 Bet Asa tiem izgāja pretī, un tie nostājās uz kauju Cevatas ielejā pie Marezas.
And Asa went out to meet him, and set the battle in array in the valley north of Maresa.
11 Un Asa piesauca To Kungu, savu Dievu, un sacīja: Kungs, neviena nav kā Tu, kas var palīdzēt nespēcīgam pret stipro. Palīdzi mums, Kungs, mūsu Dievs, jo mēs paļaujamies uz Tevi un Tavā vārdā esam nākuši pret šo lielo pulku. Kungs! Tu esi mūsu Dievs, pret Tevi neviens cilvēks neko neiespēj.
And Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, it is not impossible with you to save by many or by few: strengthen us, O Lord our God; for we trust in you, and in your name have we come against this great multitude. O Lord our God, let not man prevail against you.
12 Un Tas Kungs sita tos Moru ļaudis priekš Asas un priekš Jūda, un tie Moru ļaudis bēga.
And the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Juda; and the Ethiopians fled.
13 Bet Asa un tie ļaudis, kas pie tā bija, tiem dzinās pakaļ līdz Ģerarai, un tie Moru ļaudis krita, ka neviens no tiem nepalika dzīvs; jo tie tapa satriekti priekš Tā Kunga un priekš viņa kara spēka, un viņi dabūja ļoti daudz laupījuma.
And Asa and his people pursued them to Gedor; and the Ethiopians fell, so that they could not recover themselves; for they were crushed before the Lord, and before his host; and they took many spoils.
14 Un viņi kāva visas pilsētas ap Ģeraru, jo bailes no Tā Kunga bija uz tiem nākušas; un tie aplaupīja visas pilsētas, tāpēc ka tur bija daudz laupījuma.
And they destroyed their towns roundabout Gedor; for a terror of the Lord was upon them: and they spoiled all their cities, for they had much spoil.
15 Tie kāva arī lopu teltis un aizveda avis un kamieļus, lielu pulku, un pārnāca atkal Jeruzālemē.
Also they destroyed the tents of cattle, and the Alimazons, and took many sheep and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
