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 Abia 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 pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
3 Un izdeldēja svešo dievu altārus un elku kalnus un nolauzīja tēlu stabus un nocirta Ašeras.
And broke the statues, and cut down the groves.
4 Un pavēlēja, lai Jūda meklē To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu, un dara bauslību un pavēli.
And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.
5 Un viņš izdeldēja no visām Jūda pilsētām elku kalnus un dievekļus, jo valsts apakš viņa bija mierā.
And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.
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.
He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace.
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 Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building.
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 in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men.
9 Un pret tiem cēlās Zerus, Moru ķēniņš, ar karaspēku, ar tūkstoš reiz tūkstošiem un ar trīs simt ratiem, un atnāca līdz Marezai.
And Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa.
10 Bet Asa tiem izgāja pretī, un tie nostājās uz kauju Cevatas ielejā pie Marezas.
And Asa went out to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa:
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 he called upon the Lord God, and said: O Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name, we are come 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.
And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: 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 Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils,
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 took all the cities round about Gerara: for a great fear was come upon all men: and they pillaged the cities, and carried off much booty.
15 Tie kāva arī lopu teltis un aizveda avis un kamieļus, lielu pulku, un pārnāca atkal Jeruzālemē.
And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.
