< 2 Chronicles 14 >

1 And Abijah 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.
Pimmusay ni Abias ket intabonda isuna iti siudad ni David. Ni Asa a putotna ti simmukat kenkuana nga ari. Kadagiti aldawna, adda talna iti daga iti las-ud ti sangapulo a tawen.
2 And Asa did what was good and right in the sight of Jehovah his God;
Inaramid ni Asa ti nasayaat ken nalinteg iti imatang ni Yahweh a Diosna,
3 and he took away the altars of the strange [gods] and the high places, and broke the columns, and cut down the Asherahs;
ta inikkatna dagiti altar dagiti didiosen ken dagiti pagdaydayawan; rinebbana dagiti nasagradoan nga adigi a bato ken tinumbana dagiti tekken ni Asera.
4 and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, and to practise the law and the commandment.
Binilinna ti Juda a sapulenda ni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanda, ken tungpalenda ti linteg ken dagiti bilinna.
5 And he removed out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
Inikkatna pay dagiti pagdaydayawan ken dagiti altar a pagpupuoran iti insenso kadagiti amin a siudad ti Juda. Natalna ti pagarian ti Juda iti babaen ti turayna.
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because Jehovah had given him rest.
Nangibangon isuna kadagiti nasarikedkedan a siudad idiay Juda, ta adda talna iti daga, ken awan ti gubat kadagidiay nga aldaw, gapu ta inikkan isuna ni Yahweh iti talna.
7 And he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and surround them with walls and towers, gates and bars, while the land is yet before us; for we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side. And they built and prospered.
Ta kinuna ni Asa iti Juda, “Bangonentayo dagitoy a siudad ken paderantayo ti aglawlaw dagitoy, agaramidtayo kadagiti torre, kadagiti ruangan ken kadagiti balunet; kukuatayo pay laeng ti daga gapu ta sinapultayo ni Yahweh a Diostayo. Sinapultayo isuna, ket inikkannatayo iti talna iti aglawlaw.” Isu a nangbangonda ket nagballigida.
8 And Asa had an army that bore targets and spears: out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew the bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these, mighty men of valour.
Addaan ni Asa iti armada a nakaawit kadagiti kalasag ken gayang; addaan isuna iti 300, 000 a lallaki manipud iti Juda ken 280, 000 a lallaki manipud iti Benjamin a nakaawit kadagiti kalasag ken kadagiti pana. Amin dagitoy ket mamaingel ken natutured a lallaki.
9 And Zerah the Ethiopian came out against him with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
Rinaut ida ni Zera a taga-Etiopia a kaduana ti armadana a buklen ti maysa a milyon a soldado ken tallo gasut a karuahe; dimteng isuna idiay Maresa.
10 And Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
Ket napan sinabat ni Asa isuna, sada nagpuesto iti tanap ti Zefata idiay Maresa.
11 And Asa cried unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, it maketh no difference to thee to help, whether there be much or no power: help us, O Jehovah our God, for we rely on thee, and in thy name have we come against this multitude. Jehovah, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
Immawag ni Asa kenni Yahweh a Diosna, a kunana, “O Yahweh, awanen sabali no di sika laeng ti makatulong iti awan pigsana inton adu ti sarangetenna. Tulongannakami O Yahweh a Diosmi, ta agtalekkami kenka, ket iti naganmo, sarangetenmi daytoy nga adu unay a soldado. O Yahweh, sika ti Diosmi; saanmo nga ipalubos a parmekennaka ti tao.”
12 And Jehovah smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
Isu a dinangran ni Yahweh dagiti taga-Etiopia iti sangoanan ni Asa ken ti Juda; naglibas dagiti taga-Etiopia.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar; and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that none of them was left alive; for they were crushed before Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much spoil.
Kinamat ida ni Asa ken dagiti soldado a kaduana agingga idiay Gerar. Isu nga adu unay a taga-Etiopia ti napasag ket saandan a makabangon, ta naan-anay a nadadaelda iti sangoanan ni Yahweh ken iti armadana. Nakaad-adu unay ti sinamsam ti armada ni Asa.
14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar, for the terror of Jehovah came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities, for there was very much spoil in them.
Dinadael ti armada dagiti amin a barrio iti aglawlaw ti Gerar, ta immay kadagiti agnanaed sadiay ti panagbuteng kenni Yahweh. Sinamsaman ti armada dagiti amin a barrio, ket adu unay ti masamsam kadagitoy.
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
Dinadael met ti armada dagiti tolda a pagnanaedan dagiti agipaspastor; innalada dagiti adu a karnero, kasta met dagiti kamelio, sada nagsubli idiay Jerusalem.
