2 Chronicles 14
1 So 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.
Konsa, Abija te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan lavil David la. Fis li a, Asa, te vin wa nan plas li. Peyi a te rete kalm e san pwoblèm pandan dizan pandan jou li yo.
2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God;
Asa te fè byen ak sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, Bondye li a,
3 for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;
paske li te retire lotèl etranje yo avèk wo plas yo, e li te chire pilye sakre yo avèk Asherim yo.
4 and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
Li te kòmande Juda pou chache SENYÈ a zansèt yo a, e swiv lalwa avèk kòmandman an.
5 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.
Li te osi retire wo plas yo avèk lotèl lansan yo soti nan tout vil Juda yo. Wayòm nan te rete kalm anba li.
6 And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
Li te bati vil fòtifye Juda yo, akoz peyi a te san pwoblèm e pa t gen okenn moun ki te fè lagè avèk li pandan ane sila yo, akoz SENYÈ a te ba li repo.
7 For he said unto Judah: 'Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He hath given us rest on every side.' So they built and prospered.
Paske li te di a Juda: “Annou bati vil sila yo e antoure yo avèk miray avèk wo tou, pòtay avèk ba an fè. Peyi a toujou pou nou akoz nou te chache SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Nou te chache Li, e Li te bannou repo sou tout kote.” Konsa yo te bati e yo te byen reyisi.
8 And 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 and fourscore thousand; all these were mighty men of valour.
Alò, Asa te gen yon lame a twa-san-mil mesye soti nan Juda, avèk gran boukliye defans ak lans e de-san-katreven-mil soti nan Benjamin ki te pote boukliye defans e te manyen banza. Tout nan yo, te gèrye ki plen kouraj.
9 And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.
Alò, Zérach, Etyopyen an, te vin parèt kont yo avèk yon lame a yon-milyon moun ak twa-san cha, e li te rive nan Maréscha.
10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephath at Mareshah.
Pou sa, Asa te sòti pou rankontre li, e yo te parèt nan chan batay yo nan vale Maréschja a.
11 And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said: 'LORD, there is none beside Thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength; help us, O LORD our God; for we rely on Thee, and in Thy name are we come against this multitude. Thou art the LORD our God; let not man prevail against Thee.'
Konsa, Asa te rele SENYÈ a, Bondye li a. Li te di: “SENYÈ, nanpwen lòt sof ke Ou menm pou ede pami pwisan yo, ak sila ki san fòs. Pou sa, ede nou, O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an; paske nou mete konfyans nan Ou, e nan non Ou, nou te vini kont gran foul sila a. O SENYÈ, se Ou ki Bondye nou an. Pa kite lòm pran viktwa kont Ou menm.”
12 So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te boulvèse Etyopyen devan Asa yo ak devan Juda yo, e Etyopyen yo te sove ale.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar; and there fell of the Ethiopians so that none remained alive; for they were shattered before the LORD, and before His host; and they carried away very much booty.
Asa avèk moun ki te avèk li yo te kouri dèyè yo jis rive Guérar. Yon tèlman gran kantite Etyopyen te tonbe ke yo pa t kab kanpe ankò; paske yo te kraze nèt devan SENYÈ a ak devan lame Li a. Lame Juda a te pote fè sòti yon trè gran piyaj.
14 And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for a terror from the LORD came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.
Yo te detwi tout vil ki te antoure Guérar yo, paske laperèz SENYÈ a te fin tonbe sou vil yo. Epi yo te depouye tout vil yo, paske yo te gen anpil piyaj.
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
Anplis, yo te touye sila ki te gen bèt yo, e yo te pote ale yon gran kantite mouton avèk chamo. Answit, yo te retounen Jérusalem.
