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.

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 Un Asa darīja, kas bija pareizi un Tam Kungam, viņa Dievam, labi patika,

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

3 Un izdeldēja svešo dievu altārus un elku kalnus un nolauzīja tēlu stabus un nocirta Ašeras.

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 Un pavēlēja, lai Jūda meklē To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu, un dara bauslību un pavēli.

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

5 Un viņš izdeldēja no visām Jūda pilsētām elku kalnus un dievekļus, jo valsts apakš viņa bija mierā.

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 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 the LORD 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.

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 hath given us rest on every side. So 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 [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 eighty thousand: all these [were] mighty men of valor.

9 Un pret tiem cēlās Zerus, Moru ķēniņš, ar karaspēku, ar tūkstoš reiz tūkstošiem un ar trīs simt ratiem, un atnāca līdz Marezai.

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

10 Bet Asa tiem izgāja pretī, un tie nostājās uz kauju Cevatas ielejā pie Marezas.

Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathath at 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 to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, [it is] nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, 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.

So the LORD smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites 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 Cushites 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 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 about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding 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.
