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 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 Un Asa darīja, kas bija pareizi un Tam Kungam, viņa Dievam, labi patika,
And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of Jehovah his God;
3 Un izdeldēja svešo dievu altārus un elku kalnus un nolauzīja tēlu stabus un nocirta Ašeras.
and he took away the altars of the strange [gods] and the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs;
4 Un pavēlēja, lai Jūda meklē To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu, un dara bauslību un pavēli.
and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, and to practise the law and the commandment.
5 Un viņš izdeldēja no visām Jūda pilsētām elku kalnus un dievekļus, jo valsts apakš viņa bija mierā.
And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
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.
And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Jehovah had given 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 Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered.
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 an army that bore targets and spears: out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these, mighty men of valour.
9 Un pret tiem cēlās Zerus, Moru ķēniņš, ar karaspēku, ar tūkstoš reiz tūkstošiem un ar trīs simt ratiem, un atnāca līdz Marezai.
And Zerah the Ethiopian came out against him with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
10 Bet Asa tiem izgāja pretī, un tie nostājās uz kauju Cevatas ielejā pie Marezas.
And Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
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 unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, it maketh no difference to thee to help, whether there be much or no power: help us, O Jehovah our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name have we come against this multitude. Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
12 Un Tas Kungs sita tos Moru ļaudis priekš Asas un priekš Jūda, un tie Moru ļaudis bēga.
And Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; 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 the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that none of them was left alive; for they were crushed before Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much spoil.
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 smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the terror of Jehovah came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities, for there was very much spoil in them.
15 Tie kāva arī lopu teltis un aizveda avis un kamieļus, lielu pulku, un pārnāca atkal Jeruzālemē.
They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
