२ इतिहास 14
1 अबिया आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूसित सुते र तिनीहरूले उनलाई दाऊदको सहरमा गाडे । तिनको ठाउँमा तिनका छोरा आसा राजा भए । तिनको समयमा दश वर्षसम्म देशमा शान्ति भयो ।
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 आसाले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरको दृष्टिमा जे कुरा असल र ठिक थियो त्यही गरे,
And he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.
3 किनकि तिनले विदेशी वेदीहरू र डाँडाका थानहरू हटाए । तिनले ढुङ्गाका खम्बाहरू भत्काइदिए, र अशेरा देवीका खम्बाहरूलाई ढालिदिए ।
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 तिनले यहूदालाई परमप्रभु आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूका परमेश्वरको खोजी गर्ने, र व्यवस्था र आज्ञाहरू पालन गर्ने हुकुम गरे ।
and he told Juda to seek earnestly the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and commandments.
5 साथै तिनले यहूदाका सबै सहरहरूमा भएका अल्गा थानहरू र धूप बाल्ने वेदीहरू पनि हटाइदिए । तिनको अधीनमा देशले शान्ति पायो ।
And he removed from all the cities of Juda the altars and the idols, and established in quietness
6 तिनले यहूदामा किल्ला भएका सहरहरू निर्माण गरे, किनकि देशमा शान्ति थियो, र ती वर्षहरूमा तिनले युद्ध गर्नुपरेन, किनभने परमप्रभुले तिनलाई शान्ति दिनुभएको थियो ।
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 किनकि आसाले यहूदालाई भने, “हामी यी सहरको निर्माण गरौं र तिनका चारैतिर पर्खाल, धरहरा, ढोका र बारहरू बनाऔँ । यो देश अझ हाम्रै हो, किनभने हामीले परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वरको खोजी गरेका छौं । हामीले उहाँलाई खोज्यौं, र हरेकतिरबाट उहाँले हामीलाई शन्ति दिनुभएको छ ।” यसैले तिनीहरूले निर्माण गरे र सफल भए ।
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 आसाका ढाल र भालाहरू बोक्ने फौज थियो । यहूदाबाट तीन लाख मानिस र बेन्यामीनबाट दुई लाख असी हजार मानिस जसले ढाल बोक्ने र धनुर्धारीहरू थिए । ती सबै शक्तिशाली योद्धा थिए ।
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 कूशी जेरह तिनीहरूका विरुद्धमा दस लाख फौज र तीन सय रथ लिएर आए । तिनी मारेशामा आइपुगे ।
And Zare the Ethiopian went out against them, with a force of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Maresa.
10 तब आसा उनको सामना गर्न निस्केर आए, र मारेशानेरको सपताको बेसीमा तिनीहरूले एक-अर्कामा युद्ध गरे ।
And Asa went out to meet him, and set the battle in array in the valley north of Maresa.
11 आसाले परमप्रभु आफ्ना परमेश्वरसित पुकारा गरे र भने, “हे परमप्रभु, धेरै जनाको सामना गर्नुपर्दा जससँग बल छैन त्यसलाई सहायता गर्ने तपाईंबाहेक अरू कोही पनि छैन । हे परमप्रभु हाम्रा परमेश्वर, हामीलाई सहायता गर्नुहोस्, किनकि हामी तपाईंमा भर पर्छौं, र तपाईंकै नाउँमा यस ठूलो फौज को विरुद्धमा सामना गर्न हामी आएका छौं । हे परमप्रभु, तपाईं हाम्रा परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ । मानिसले तपाईंलाई पराजित गर्न नदिनुहोस् ।”
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 यसैले परमप्रभुले आसा र यहूदाको सामु कूशीहरूलाई प्रहार गर्नुभयो । कूशीहरू भागे ।
And the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Juda; and the Ethiopians fled.
13 आसा र तिनीसित भएका फौजले उनीहरूलाई गरारसम्म खेदे । यति धेरै कूशीहरू ढले कि तिनीहरू फेरि खडा हुन सकेनन्, किनकि तिनीहरू परमप्रभु र उहाँका फौजका सामु पूर्ण रूपले नष्ट भए । फौजले धेरै मात्रामा लूटका समान लिएर आए ।
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 फौजले गरारका चारैतिरका सबै बस्तीलाई नाश गरे, किनकि त्यहाँका बासिन्दाहरूमा परमप्रभुको त्रास परेको थियो । फौजले सबै बस्तीमा लूट मच्चाए र तिनीहरूसित धेरै लूटका माल भए ।
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 फौजले धेरै फिरन्ते गोठालाहरूका पालका बस्तीहरूसमेत नाश गरे । तिनीहरूले प्रशस्त मात्रामा भेडा र ऊँटहरू लिएर आए, र त्यसपछि तिनीहरू यरूशलेममा फर्के ।
Also they destroyed the tents of cattle, and the Alimazons, and took many sheep and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
