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 place. In his days the land was quiet ten years.

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

Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of YHWH his God:

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

for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim,

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

and commanded Judah to seek YHWH, the 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 sun 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.

He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because YHWH 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.

For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities, and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is still ours. Since we have sought YHWH our God, he has sought us and he has 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.

Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred 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.

There came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a million troops, and three hundred chariots; and he came to Mareshah.

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

Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the Valley of Zephathah 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.

Asa cried to YHWH his God, and said, "YHWH, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and those who have no strength. Help us, YHWH our God; for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. YHWH, you are our God. Do not let man prevail against you."

12 Un Tas Kungs sita tos Moru ļaudis priekš Asas un priekš Jūda, un tie Moru ļaudis bēga.

So YHWH struck the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; 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.

Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before YHWH, and before his army; and they carried away very much booty.

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.

They struck all the cities around Gerar; for the fear of YHWH came on them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was a great amount of plunder in them.

15 Tie kāva arī lopu teltis un aizveda avis un kamieļus, lielu pulku, un pārnāca atkal Jeruzālemē.

They struck also the tents of livestock, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
