2 Nyakati 14
1 Naye Abiya akalala na baba zake, akazikwa katika Mji wa Daudi. Asa mwanawe akawa mfalme baada yake. Katika siku zake, nchi ikawa na amani kwa miaka kumi.
καὶ ἀπέθανεν Αβια μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ασα υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ασα ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ Ιουδα ἔτη δέκα
2 Asa akatenda yaliyo mema na haki machoni pa Bwana Mungu wake.
καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ καλὸν καὶ τὸ εὐθὲς ἐνώπιον κυρίου θεοῦ αὐτοῦ
3 Akaziondoa madhabahu za kigeni na mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu, akayavunja yale mawe ya kuabudiwa na kuzikatakata nguzo za Maashera.
καὶ ἀπέστησεν τὰ θυσιαστήρια τῶν ἀλλοτρίων καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ καὶ συνέτριψεν τὰς στήλας καὶ ἐξέκοψεν τὰ ἄλση
4 Akawaamuru Yuda kumtafuta Bwana, Mungu wa baba zao na kutii sheria zake na amri zake.
καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ιουδα ἐκζητῆσαι τὸν κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν καὶ ποιῆσαι τὸν νόμον καὶ τὰς ἐντολάς
5 Akaondoa mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu na madhabahu za kufukizia uvumba kwenye kila mji katika Yuda, nao ufalme ulikuwa na amani katika utawala wake.
καὶ ἀπέστησεν ἀπὸ πασῶν τῶν πόλεων Ιουδα τὰ θυσιαστήρια καὶ τὰ εἴδωλα καὶ εἰρήνευσεν
6 Akajenga miji yenye ngome katika Yuda, wakati nchi ikiwa na amani. Hakuna mtu yeyote aliyepigana vita naye katika miaka hiyo, kwa kuwa Bwana alimstarehesha.
πόλεις τειχήρεις ἐν γῇ Ιουδα ὅτι εἰρήνευσεν ἡ γῆ καὶ οὐκ ἦν αὐτῷ πόλεμος ἐν τοῖς ἔτεσιν τούτοις ὅτι κατέπαυσεν αὐτῷ κύριος
7 Mfalme akawaambia Yuda, “Tuijenge hii miji na tuizungushie kuta, pamoja na minara, malango na makomeo. Nchi bado ni yetu, kwa sababu tumemtafuta Bwana Mungu wetu, tulimtafuta naye ametupa raha kila upande.” Hivyo wakajenga na wakafanikiwa.
καὶ εἶπεν τῷ Ιουδα οἰκοδομήσωμεν τὰς πόλεις ταύτας καὶ ποιήσωμεν τείχη καὶ πύργους καὶ πύλας καὶ μοχλοὺς ἐν ᾧ τῆς γῆς κυριεύσομεν ὅτι καθὼς ἐξεζητήσαμεν κύριον θεὸν ἡμῶν ἐξεζήτησεν ἡμᾶς καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἡμᾶς κυκλόθεν καὶ εὐόδωσεν ἡμῖν
8 Asa alikuwa na jeshi la watu 300,000 kutoka Yuda, wenye ngao kubwa na mikuki na jeshi la watu 280,000 kutoka Benyamini, wenye ngao ndogo na pinde. Watu hawa wote walikuwa wapiganaji mashujaa.
καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ Ασα δύναμις ὁπλοφόρων αἰρόντων θυρεοὺς καὶ δόρατα ἐν γῇ Ιουδα τριακόσιαι χιλιάδες καὶ ἐν γῇ Βενιαμιν πελτασταὶ καὶ τοξόται διακόσιαι καὶ πεντήκοντα χιλιάδες πάντες οὗτοι πολεμισταὶ δυνάμεως
9 Zera Mkushi akatoka kupigana dhidi yao akiwa na jeshi la watu maelfu ya maelfu na magari ya vita 300, nao wakaja mpaka Maresha.
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς Ζαρε ὁ Αἰθίοψ ἐν δυνάμει ἐν χιλίαις χιλιάσιν καὶ ἅρμασιν τριακοσίοις καὶ ἦλθεν ἕως Μαρισα
10 Asa akatoka kumkabili, nao wakapanga vita katika Bonde la Sefatha karibu na Maresha.
καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ασα εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ καὶ παρετάξατο πόλεμον ἐν τῇ φάραγγι κατὰ βορρᾶν Μαρισης
11 Kisha Asa akamlilia Bwana Mungu wake na kusema, “Ee Bwana, hakuna yeyote aliye kama wewe wa kuwasaidia wasio na nguvu dhidi ya wenye nguvu. Utusaidie, Ee Bwana, wewe ndiwe Mungu wetu, kwa kuwa tunakutumainia wewe, nasi kwa jina lako tumekuja dhidi ya jeshi hili kubwa. Ee Bwana, wewe ndiwe Mungu wetu, usiwaache wanadamu wakushinde wewe.”
καὶ ἐβόησεν Ασα πρὸς κύριον θεὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν κύριε οὐκ ἀδυνατεῖ παρὰ σοὶ σῴζειν ἐν πολλοῖς καὶ ἐν ὀλίγοις κατίσχυσον ἡμᾶς κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐπὶ σοὶ πεποίθαμεν καὶ ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἤλθαμεν ἐπὶ τὸ πλῆθος τὸ πολὺ τοῦτο κύριε ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν μὴ κατισχυσάτω πρὸς σὲ ἄνθρωπος
12 Bwana akawapiga Wakushi mbele ya Asa na Yuda. Wakushi wakakimbia,
καὶ ἐπάταξεν κύριος τοὺς Αἰθίοπας ἐναντίον Ιουδα καὶ ἔφυγον οἱ Αἰθίοπες
13 naye Asa na jeshi lake wakawafuatia mpaka Gerari. Idadi kubwa ya Wakushi ilianguka hata wasiweze kuinuka tena, wakapondapondwa mbele za Bwana na majeshi yake.
καὶ κατεδίωξεν Ασα καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἕως Γεδωρ καὶ ἔπεσον Αἰθίοπες ὥστε μὴ εἶναι ἐν αὐτοῖς περιποίησιν ὅτι συνετρίβησαν ἐνώπιον κυρίου καὶ ἐναντίον τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν σκῦλα πολλά
14 Watu wa Yuda wakachukua nyara nyingi sana, wakaangamiza vijiji vyote vinavyoizunguka Gerari, kwa kuwa hofu ya Bwana ilikuwa imewaangukia. Wakateka nyara vijiji hivi vyote, kwani kulikuwepo nyara nyingi huko.
καὶ ἐξέκοψαν τὰς κώμας αὐτῶν κύκλῳ Γεδωρ ὅτι ἐγενήθη ἔκστασις κυρίου ἐπ’ αὐτούς καὶ ἐσκύλευσαν πάσας τὰς πόλεις αὐτῶν ὅτι πολλὰ σκῦλα ἐγενήθη αὐτοῖς
15 Pia wakashambulia kambi za wachunga makundi ya wanyama wakachukua na kuyaswaga makundi ya kondoo, mbuzi na ngamia. Kisha wakarudi Yerusalemu.
καί γε σκηνὰς κτήσεων τοὺς Αμαζονεῖς ἐξέκοψαν καὶ ἔλαβον πρόβατα πολλὰ καὶ καμήλους καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ
