Taariikhdii Labaad 14

1 Markaasaa Abiiyaah dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa lagu aasay magaaladii Daa'uud, oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Aasaa, oo wakhtigiisiina dalku wuu xasilloonaa intii toban sannadood ah.

Then Abijah rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Asa reigned in his place, and in his days the land was at peace for ten years.

2 Oo Aasaana wuxuu sameeyey wixii Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah hortiisa ku wanaagsanaa oo ku qummanaa,

And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God.

3 maxaa yeelay, isagu wuxuu baabbi'iyey meelihii allabariga ee qalaadaa iyo meelihii sarsare, oo tiirarkiina wuu wada jejebiyey, geedihii Asheeraahna wuu wada jaray,

He removed the foreign altars and high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and chopped down the Asherah poles.

4 oo dadkii Yahuudahna wuxuu ku amray inay doondoonaan Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashood, iyo inay yeelaan sharciga iyo amarka.

He commanded the people of Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandments.

5 Oo haddana magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah oo dhan wuxuu ka baabbi'iyey meelihii sarsare iyo sanamyadii qorraxda, oo boqortooyaduna isaga hortiisa way ku xasilloonayd.

He also removed the high places and incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and under him the kingdom was at peace.

6 Oo isagu dalka Yahuudahna wuxuu ka dhisay magaalooyin deyr leh, maxaa yeelay, dalku wuu xasilloonaa oo isaguna dagaal ma gelin sannadahaas, waayo, Ilaah baa isaga nasiyey.

Because the land was at peace, Asa built fortified cities in Judah. In those days no one made war with him, because the LORD had given him rest.

7 Oo wuxuu dadkii Yahuudah ku yidhi, Kaalaya aan magaalooyinkan dhisnee oo aan u yeelno derbiyo, iyo munaarado, iyo irdo, iyo qataarro; dalku weli waa ina hor yaal, maxaa yeelay, waxaynu doondoonnay Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah; isagaynu doondoonnay, oo isna dhan kasta ayuu inaga nasiyey. Markaasay magaalooyinkii dhiseen, wayna liibaaneen.

So he said to the people of Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, with doors and bars. The land is still ours 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 Oo Aasaana wuxuu lahaa ciidan gaashaammo iyo warmo sita, oo waxaa reer Yahuudah ka soo baxay saddex boqol oo kun, reer Benyaamiinna waxaa ka soo baxay kuwo gaashaammo sita oo qaansooyin xoota oo ah laba boqol iyo siddeetan kun, oo kulligoodna waxay wada ahaayeen rag xoog badan.

Asa had an army of 300,000 men from Judah bearing large shields and spears, and 280,000 men from Benjamin bearing small shields and drawing the bow. All these were mighty men of valor.

9 Oo waxaa iyagii ku soo kacay Serax oo ahaa reer Itoobiya isagoo wata ciidan tiradiisu tahay malyuun, iyo saddex boqol oo gaadhifaras, oo isagu wuxuu yimid Maareeshaah.

Then Zerah the Cushite came against them with an army of 1,000,000 men and 300 chariots, and they advanced as far as Mareshah.

10 Markaasaa Aasaa u baxay inuu isaga ka hor tago, oo waxay dagaal isugu diyaariyeen Dooxadii Sefaataah oo Maareeshaah u dhow.

So Asa marched out against him and lined up in battle formation in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.

11 Markaasaa Aasaa u qayshaday Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah oo yidhi, Rabbiyow, adiga mooyaane ma jiro mid u kala hiilin kara kan itaalka badan iyo kan aan xoogga lahayn. Rabbiyow Ilaahayagow, na caawi, waayo, waannu isku kaa hallaynaynaa, oo magacaaga ayaannu dadkan badan ugu soo baxnay. Rabbiyow, waxaad tahay Ilaahayaga, haddaba ninna yuusan kaa adkaan.

Then Asa cried out to the LORD his God: “O LORD, there is no one besides You to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on You, and in Your name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God. Do not let a mere mortal prevail against You.”

12 Oo sidaas daraaddeed Aasaa iyo dadkii Yahuudah hortooda ayaa Rabbigu ku jebiyey kuwii reer Itoobiya, kuwii reer Itoobiyana way carareen.

So the LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah, and the Cushites fled.

13 Markaasaa Aasaa iyo dadkii la socday u eryadeen xagga Geraar, oo waxaa kuwii reer Itoobiya ka dhintay dad faro badan oo iyaga ayan ka soo kaban karin, maxaa yeelay, iyagu waxay ku hor baabbe'een Rabbiga iyo ciidankiisaba, oo weliba waxay kala tageen maal booli ah oo aad u badan.

Then Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. The Cushites fell and could not recover, for they were crushed before the LORD and His army. So the people of Judah carried off a great amount of plunder

14 Oo waxay kaloo wax ku dhufteen magaalooyinkii Geraar ku wareegsanaa oo dhan, waayo, iyaga waxaa ku dhacday Rabbiga cabsidiisii, oo magaalooyinkii oo dhanna way dhaceen, maxaa yeelay, waxaa iyaga ku jiray maal badan.

and attacked all the cities around Gerar, because the terror of the LORD had fallen upon them. They plundered all the cities, since there was much plunder there.

15 Oo haddana waxay burburiyeen teendhooyinkii xoolodhaqatada, waxayna dhaceen ido faro badan iyo geel. Dabadeedna Yeruusaalem bay ku noqdeen.

They also attacked the tents of the herdsmen and carried off many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
