1 H29 So Abijah H7901 [H8799] slept H1 with his fathers, H6912 [H8799] and they buried H5892 him in the city H1732 of David: H609 and Asa H1121 his son H4427 [H8799] reigned H3117 in his stead. In his days H776 the land H8252 [H8804] was quiet H6235 ten H8141 years.

2 H609 And Asa H6213 [H8799] did H2896 that which was good H3477 and right H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD H430 his God:

3 H5493 [H8686] For he took away H4196 the altars H5236 of the foreign H1116 gods, and the high places, H7665 [H8762] and broke down H4676 the images, H1438 [H8762] and cut down H842 the groves:

4 H559 [H8799] And commanded H3063 Judah H1875 [H8800] to seek H3068 the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers, H6213 [H8800] and to do H8451 the law H4687 and the commandment.

5 H5493 [H8686] Also he took away H5892 out of all the cities H3063 of Judah H1116 the high places H2553 and the images: H4467 and the kingdom H8252 [H8799] was quiet H6440 at the face of him.

6 H1129 [H8799] And he built H4694 fortified H5892 cities H3063 in Judah: H776 for the land H8252 [H8804] had rest, H4421 and he had no war H8141 in those years; H3068 because the LORD H5117 [H8689] had given him rest.

7 H559 [H8799] Therefore he said H3063 to Judah, H1129 [H8799] Let us build H5892 these cities, H5437 [H8686] and make about H2346 them walls, H4026 and towers, H1817 gates, H1280 and bars, H776 while the land H6440 is yet at the face of H1875 [H8804] us; because we have sought H3068 the LORD H430 our God, H1875 [H8804] we have sought H5117 [H8799] him, and he hath given us rest H5439 on every side. H1129 [H8799] So they built H6743 [H8686] and prospered.

8 H609 And Asa H2428 had an army H5375 [H8802] of men that bore H6793 shields H7420 and spears, H3063 out of Judah H7969 three H3967 hundred H505 thousand; H1144 and out of Benjamin, H5375 [H8802] that bore H4043 shields H1869 [H8802] and drew H7198 bows, H3967 two hundred H8084 and eighty H505 thousand: H1368 all these were mighty men H2428 of valour.

9 H3318 [H8799] And there came out H2226 against them Zerah H3569 the Cushite H2428 with an host H505 of a million, H7969 and three H3967 hundred H4818 chariots; H935 [H8799] and came H4762 to Mareshah.

10 H609 Then Asa H3318 [H8799] went out H6440 against H4421 him, and they set the battle H6186 [H8799] in array H1516 in the valley H6859 of Zephathah H4762 at Mareshah.

11 H609 And Asa H7121 [H8799] called H3068 to the LORD H430 his God, H559 [H8799] and said, H3068 LORD, H5826 [H8800] it is nothing with thee to help, H996 whether H7227 with many, H3581 or with them that have no power: H5826 [H8798] help H3068 us, O LORD H430 our God; H8172 [H8738] for we rest H8034 on thee, and in thy name H935 [H8804] we go H1995 against this multitude. H3068 O LORD, H430 thou art our God; H582 let not man H6113 [H8799] prevail against thee.

12 H3068 So the LORD H5062 [H8799] smote H3569 the Cushites H6440 at the face of H609 Asa, H6440 and at the face of H3063 Judah; H3569 and the Cushites H5127 [H8799] fled.

13 H609 And Asa H5971 and the people H7291 [H8799] that were with him pursued H1642 them to Gerar: H3569 and the Cushites H5307 [H8799] were overthrown, H4241 that they could not recover H7665 [H8738] themselves; for they were broken H6440 at the face of H3068 the LORD, H6440 and at the face of H4264 his host; H5375 [H8799] and they carried away H3966 very H7235 [H8687] much H7998 spoil.

14 H5221 [H8686] And they smote H5892 all the cities H5439 about H1642 Gerar; H6343 for the fear H3068 of the LORD H962 [H8799] came upon them: and they spoiled H5892 all the cities; H7227 for there was very much H961 spoil in them.

15 H5221 [H8689] They smote H168 also the tents H4735 of cattle, H7617 [H8799] and carried away H6629 sheep H1581 and camels H7230 in abundance, H7725 [H8799] and returned H3389 to Jerusalem.

Ædificaverunt igitur, et nullum in exstruendo impedimentum fuit. ⁸ Habuit autem Asa in exercitu suo portantium scuta et hastas de Juda trecenta millia, de Benjamin vero scutariorum et sagittariorum ducenta octoginta millia: omnes isti viri fortissimi. ⁹ Egressus est autem contra eos Zara Æthiops cum exercitu suo, decies centena millia, et curribus trecentis: et venit usque Maresa. ¹⁰ Porro Asa perrexit obviam ei, et instruxit aciem ad bellum in valle Sephata, quæ est juxta Maresa: ¹¹ et invocavit Dominum Deum, et ait: Domine, non est apud te ulla distantia, utrum in paucis auxilieris, an in pluribus.

1 H29 So Abijah H7901 slept [H8799] H1 with his fathers H6912 , and they buried [H8799] H5892 him in the city H1732 of David H609 : and Asa H1121 his son H4427 reigned [H8799] H3117 in his stead. In his days H776 the land H8252 was quiet [H8804] H6235 ten H8141 years.

2 H609 And Asa H6213 did [H8799] H2896 that which was good H3477 and right H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD H430 his God:

3 H5493 For he took away [H8686] H4196 the altars H5236 of the strange H1116 gods, and the high places H7665 , and brake down [H8762] H4676 the images H1438 , and cut down [H8762] H842 the groves:

4 H559 And commanded [H8799] H3063 Judah H1875 to seek [H8800] H3068 the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers H6213 , and to do [H8800] H8451 the law H4687 and the commandment.

5 H5493 Also he took away [H8686] H5892 out of all the cities H3063 of Judah H1116 the high places H2553 and the images H4467 : and the kingdom H8252 was quiet [H8799] H6440 before him.

6 H1129 And he built [H8799] H4694 fenced H5892 cities H3063 in Judah H776 : for the land H8252 had rest [H8804] H4421 , and he had no war H8141 in those years H3068 ; because the LORD H5117 had given him rest [H8689] .

7 H559 Therefore he said [H8799] H3063 unto Judah H1129 , Let us build [H8799] H5892 these cities H5437 , and make about [H8686] H2346 them walls H4026 , and towers H1817 , gates H1280 , and bars H776 , while the land H6440 is yet before H1875 us; because we have sought [H8804] H3068 the LORD H430 our God H1875 , we have sought [H8804] H5117 him, and he hath given us rest [H8799] H5439 on every side H1129 . So they built [H8799] H6743 and prospered [H8686] .

8 H609 And Asa H2428 had an army H5375 of men that bare [H8802] H6793 targets H7420 and spears H3063 , out of Judah H7969 three H3967 hundred H505 thousand H1144 ; and out of Benjamin H5375 , that bare [H8802] H4043 shields H1869 and drew [H8802] H7198 bows H3967 , two hundred H8084 and fourscore H505 thousand H1368 : all these were mighty men H2428 of valour.

9 H3318 And there came out [H8799] H2226 against them Zerah H3569 the Ethiopian H2428 with an host H505 of a thousand H505 thousand H7969 , and three H3967 hundred H4818 chariots H935 ; and came [H8799] H4762 unto Mareshah.

10 H609 Then Asa H3318 went out [H8799] H6440 against H4421 him, and they set the battle H6186 in array [H8799] H1516 in the valley H6859 of Zephathah H4762 at Mareshah.

11 H609 And Asa H7121 cried [H8799] H3068 unto the LORD H430 his God H559 , and said [H8799] H3068 , LORD H5826 , it is nothing with thee to help [H8800] H996 , whether H7227 with many H3581 , or with them that have no power H5826 : help [H8798] H3068 us, O LORD H430 our God H8172 ; for we rest [H8738] H8034 on thee, and in thy name H935 we go [H8804] H1995 against this multitude H3068 . O LORD H430 , thou art our God H582 ; let not man H6113 prevail [H8799] against thee.

12 H3068 So the LORD H5062 smote [H8799] H3569 the Ethiopians H6440 before H609 Asa H6440 , and before H3063 Judah H3569 ; and the Ethiopians H5127 fled [H8799] .

13 H609 And Asa H5971 and the people H7291 that were with him pursued [H8799] H1642 them unto Gerar H3569 : and the Ethiopians H5307 were overthrown [H8799] H4241 , that they could not recover H7665 themselves; for they were destroyed [H8738] H6440 before H3068 the LORD H6440 , and before H4264 his host H5375 ; and they carried away [H8799] H3966 very H7235 much [H8687] H7998 spoil.

14 H5221 And they smote [H8686] H5892 all the cities H5439 round about H1642 Gerar H6343 ; for the fear H3068 of the LORD H962 came upon them: and they spoiled [H8799] H5892 all the cities H7227 ; for there was exceeding much H961 spoil in them.

15 H5221 They smote [H8689] H168 also the tents H4735 of cattle H7617 , and carried away [H8799] H6629 sheep H1581 and camels H7230 in abundance H7725 , and returned [H8799] H3389 to Jerusalem.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And when Abia died they buried him with his fathers, in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In the days of Asa the land of Juda was quiet ten years. ² And he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God. ³ He removed the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the bowers, ⁴ and ordered Juda to seek the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and the commandments ⁵ And having removed out of all the cities of Juda the altars and the idols, he gave peace ⁶ to the fortified cities in the land of Juda: because the country enjoyed peace, and he had no war during those years, for the Lord gave him rest; ⁷ therefore he said to Juda, let us rebuild the cities, and make walls and towers, and gates and bars, and secure dominion over the country before them. For as we have sought the Lord our God, he hath sought us, and given us rest all around, and prospered us. ⁸ Now Asa had in the land of Juda an army of three hundred thousand men bearing shields and spears, and in the land of Benjamin shield bearers and bowmen, two hundred and eighty six thousand. All these were fighting men. ⁹ And Zare the Ethiopean came out against them with an army of a million, with three hundred chariots. And when he had advanced as far as Maresa, ¹⁰ Asa went out to meet him, and drew up for battle, in the vale north of Maresa, ¹¹ and Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, Lord, it is nothing with thee to save with many or with few. Strengthen us, O Lord our God; for on thee is our reliance; and in thy name we are come against this great multitude. Lord our God, let not man prevail against thee. ¹² So the Lord smote the Ethiopeans before Juda. And the Ethiopeans fled, ¹³ and Asa and his people pursued them as far as Gedor. And the Ethiopeans fell so that they could not recover themselves; for they were trampled down before the Lord, and before his army. And when they had taken immense spoils, ¹⁴ and smitten the towns about Gedor [for the terror of the Lord was upon them] and had rifled all their cities [for there was much plunder in them] ¹⁵ and plundered their tents, and smitten the Alimazonians and taken many sheep and camels, and were returning to Jerusalem;

Webster⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

So they built, and prospered. ⁸ And Asa had an army of men that bore targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor. ⁹ And there came out against them Zerah the Cushite, with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah. ¹⁰ Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathath at Mareshah. ¹¹ And Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude.

1 H29 So Abijah H7901 [H8799] slept H1 with his fathers H6912 [H8799] , and they buried H5892 him in the city H1732 of David H609 : and Asa H1121 his son H4427 [H8799] reigned H3117 in his stead. In his days H776 the land H8252 [H8804] was quiet H6235 ten H8141 years.

2 H609 And Asa H6213 [H8799] did H2896 that which was good H3477 and right H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD H430 his God:

3 H5493 [H8686] For he took away H4196 the altars H5236 of the strange H1116 gods, and the high places H7665 [H8762] , and broke down H4676 the images H1438 [H8762] , and cut down H842 the groves:

4 H559 [H8799] And commanded H3063 Judah H1875 [H8800] to seek H3068 the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers H6213 [H8800] , and to do H8451 the law H4687 and the commandment.

5 H5493 [H8686] Also he took away H5892 out of all the cities H3063 of Judah H1116 the high places H2553 and the images H4467 : and the kingdom H8252 [H8799] was quiet H6440 before him.

6 H1129 [H8799] And he built H4694 fortified H5892 cities H3063 in Judah H776 : for the land H8252 [H8804] had rest H4421 , and he had no war H8141 in those years H3068 ; because the LORD H5117 [H8689] had given him rest.

7 H559 [H8799] Therefore he said H3063 to Judah H1129 [H8799] , Let us build H5892 these cities H5437 [H8686] , and make about H2346 them walls H4026 , and towers H1817 , gates H1280 , and bars H776 , while the land H6440 is yet before H1875 [H8804] us; because we have sought H3068 the LORD H430 our God H1875 [H8804] , we have sought H5117 [H8799] him, and he hath given us rest H5439 on every side H1129 [H8799] . So they built H6743 [H8686] and prospered.

8 H609 And Asa H2428 had an army H5375 [H8802] of men that bore H6793 shields H7420 and spears H3063 , out of Judah H7969 three H3967 hundred H505 thousand H1144 ; and out of Benjamin H5375 [H8802] , that bore H4043 shields H1869 [H8802] and drew H7198 bows H3967 , two hundred H8084 and eighty H505 thousand H1368 : all these were mighty men H2428 of valour.

9 H3318 [H8799] And there came out H2226 against them Zerah H3569 the Cushite H2428 with an host H505 of a million H7969 , and three H3967 hundred H4818 chariots H935 [H8799] ; and came H4762 to Mareshah.

10 H609 Then Asa H3318 [H8799] went out H6440 against H4421 him, and they set the battle H6186 [H8799] in array H1516 in the valley H6859 of Zephathah H4762 at Mareshah.

11 H609 And Asa H7121 [H8799] cried H3068 to the LORD H430 his God H559 [H8799] , and said H3068 , LORD H5826 [H8800] , it is nothing with thee to help H996 , whether H7227 with many H3581 , or with them that have no power H5826 [H8798] : help H3068 us, O LORD H430 our God H8172 [H8738] ; for we rest H8034 on thee, and in thy name H935 [H8804] we go H1995 against this multitude H3068 . O LORD H430 , thou art our God H582 ; let not man H6113 [H8799] prevail against thee.

12 H3068 So the LORD H5062 [H8799] smote H3569 the Cushites H6440 before H609 Asa H6440 , and before H3063 Judah H3569 ; and the Cushites H5127 [H8799] fled.

13 H609 And Asa H5971 and the people H7291 [H8799] that were with him pursued H1642 them to Gerar H3569 : and the Cushites H5307 [H8799] were overthrown H4241 , that they could not recover H7665 [H8738] themselves; for they were destroyed H6440 before H3068 the LORD H6440 , and before H4264 his host H5375 [H8799] ; and they carried away H3966 very H7235 [H8687] much H7998 spoil.

14 H5221 [H8686] And they smote H5892 all the cities H5439 about H1642 Gerar H6343 ; for the fear H3068 of the LORD H962 [H8799] came upon them: and they smote H5892 all the cities H7227 ; for there was very much H961 spoil in them.

15 H5221 [H8689] They smote H168 also the tents H4735 of cattle H7617 [H8799] , and carried away H6629 sheep H1581 and camels H7230 in abundance H7725 [H8799] , and returned H3389 to Jerusalem.

1 H29 So Abijah H7901 slept H1 with his fathers, H6912 and they buried H5892 him in the city H1732 of David; H609 and Asa H1121 his son H4427 reigned H3117 in his stead. In his days H776 the land H8252 was quiet H6235 ten H8141 years.

2 H609 And Asa H6213 did H2896 that which was good H3477 and right H5869 in the eyes H3068 of Jehovah H430 his God:

3 H5493 for he took away H5236 the foreign H4196 altars, H1116 and the high places, H7665 and brake down H4676 the pillars, H7665 and hewed down H842 the Asherim,

4 H559 and commanded H3063 Judah H1875 to seek H3068 Jehovah, H430 the God H1 of their fathers, H6213 and to do H8451 the law H4687 and the commandment.

5 H5493 Also he took away H5892 out of all the cities H3063 of Judah H1116 the high places H2553 and the sun-images: H4467 and the kingdom H8252 was quiet H6440 before him.

6 H1129 And he built H4694 fortified H5892 cities H3063 in Judah; H776 for the land H8252 was quiet, H4421 and he had no war H8141 in those years, H3068 because Jehovah H5117 had given him rest.

7 H559 For he said H3063 unto Judah, H1129 Let us build H5892 these cities, H5437 and make about H2346 them walls, H4026 and towers, H1817 gates, H1280 and bars; H776 the land H6440 is yet before H1875 us, because we have sought H3068 Jehovah H430 our God; H1875 we have sought H5117 him, and he hath given us rest H5439 on every side. H1129 So they built H6743 and prospered.

8 H609 And Asa H2428 had an army H5375 that bare H6793 bucklers H7420 and spears, H3063 out of Judah H7969 three H3967 hundred H505 thousand; H1144 and out of Benjamin, H5375 that bare H4043 shields H1869 and drew H7198 bows, H3967 two hundred H8084 and fourscore H505 thousand: H1368 all these were mighty men H2428 of valor.

9 H3318 And there came out H2226 against them Zerah H3569 the Ethiopian H2428 with an army H505 of a thousand H505 thousand, H7969 and three H3967 hundred H4818 chariots; H935 and he came H4762 unto Mareshah.

10 H609 Then Asa H3318 went out H6440 to meet H4421 him, and they set the battle H6186 in array H1516 in the valley H6859 of Zephathah H4762 at Mareshah.

11 H609 And Asa H7121 cried H3068 unto Jehovah H430 his God, H559 and said, H3068 Jehovah, H5826 there is none besides thee to help, H996 between H7227 the mighty H3581 and him that hath no strength: H5826 help H3068 us, O Jehovah H430 our God; H8172 for we rely H8034 on thee, and in thy name H935 are we come H1995 against this multitude. H3068 O Jehovah, H430 thou art our God; H582 let not man H6113 prevail against thee.

12 H3068 So Jehovah H5062 smote H3569 the Ethiopians H6440 before H609 Asa, H6440 and before H3063 Judah; H3569 and the Ethiopians H5127 fled.

13 H609 And Asa H5971 and the people H7291 that were with him pursued H1642 them unto Gerar: H5307 and there fell H3569 of the Ethiopians H4241 so many that they could not recover H7665 themselves; for they were destroyed H6440 before H3068 Jehovah, H6440 and before H4264 his host; H5375 and they carried away H3966 very H7235 much H7998 booty.

14 H5221 And they smote H5892 all the cities H5439 round about H1642 Gerar; H6343 for the fear H3068 of Jehovah H962 came upon them: and they despoiled H5892 all the cities; H7227 for there was much H961 spoil in them.

15 H5221 They smote H168 also the tents H4735 of cattle, H7617 and carried away H6629 sheep H7230 in abundance, H1581 and camels, H7725 and returned H3389 to Jerusalem.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ (13:23) 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. ² (14:1) And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God; ³ (14:2) for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim; ⁴ (14:3) and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. ⁵ (14:4) 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 (14:5) 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. ⁷ (14:6) 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. ⁸ (14:7) 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. ⁹ (14:8) 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. ¹⁰ (14:9) Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephath at Mareshah. ¹¹ (14:10) 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.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ 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 rested ten years. ² And Asa did that which was good and that which was right, in the eyes of Yahweh his God; ³ and took away the foreign altars, and the high places,––and brake in pieces the pillars, and cut in twain the Sacred Stems; ⁴ and bade Judah seek Yahweh, God of their fathers,–and execute the law, and the commandment; ⁵ and removed from all the cities of Judah, the high places, and the sun–images,––and the kingdom became quiet before him. ⁶ And he built cities of defence, in Judah,––for the land had quiet, nor was there near him any war, in these years, because Yahweh had given him rest. ⁷ Therefore said he to Judah, Let us build these cities, and let us surround them with walls and towers, doors and bars, while the land is yet before us, for we have sought Yahweh our God, we have sought him, and he hath given us rest on every side. So they built, and prospered. ⁸ And it came to pass that, Asa, had a force bearing shield and spear, out of Judah, three hundred thousand, and, out of Benjamin, such as bare a buckler and trode a bow, two hundred and eighty thousand,––all these, were heroes of valour.
⁹ Then came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian, with a force of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots,––and he came as far as Mareshah. ¹⁰ And Asa went out to meet him,––and they set in array for battle, in the valley of Zaphonah, at Mareshah. ¹¹ Then Asa cried out unto Yahweh his God, and said, O Yahweh, it is, nothing with thee, to help whether with many or with such as have no strength. Help us, O Yahweh our God, for, on thee, do we lean, and, in thy name, have we come against this multitude,––O Yahweh! our God, thou art, let not, weak man, have power against thee. ¹² So Yahweh smote the Ethiopians, before Asa, and before Judah,––and the Ethiopians fled. ¹³ And Asa and the people that were with him pursued as far as to Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell, so that there was no way for them to recover, for they were routed before Yahweh, and before him host,––and they carried away exceeding much spoil. ¹⁴ And they smote all the cities round shout Gerar, for the dread of Yahweh was upon them,––and they plundered all the cities, for, great plunder, was there in them. ¹⁵ Moreover also, the tents of the cattle, they smote,––and carried off sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Abijah lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign does Asa his son in his stead:in his days was the land quiet ten years. ² And Asa does that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Yahweh his Elohim, ³ and turns aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaks the standing-pillars, and cuts down the shrines, ⁴ and said to Judah to seek Yahweh, Elohim of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;" ⁵ and he turns aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him. ⁶ And he builds cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land has quiet, and there is no war with him in these years, because Yahweh has given rest to him. ⁷ And he said to Judah, `Let us build these cities, and compass [them] with wall, and towers, two-leaved doors, and bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought Yahweh our Elohim, we have sought, and He gives rest to us round about;' and they build and prosper. ⁸ And there is to Asa a force bearing target and spear, out of Judah three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, bearing shield and treading bow, two hundred and eighty thousand:all these [are] mighty of valor. ⁹ And come out unto them does Zerah the Cushite with a force of a thousand thousand, and chariots three hundred, and he comes in unto Mareshah, ¹⁰ and Asa goes out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. ¹¹ And Asa calls unto Yahweh his Elohim, and said, `Yahweh! it is nothing with You to help, between the mighty and those who have no power; help us, O Yahweh, our Elohim, for on You we have leant, and in Your name we have come against this multitude; O Yahweh, our Elohim you [are]; let him not prevail with You--mortal man!" ¹² And Yahweh smites the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee, ¹³ and Asa and the people who [are] with him pursue them even to Gerar, and there fall of the Cushim, for they have no preserving, because they have been broken before Yahweh, and before His camp; and they bear away very much spoil, ¹⁴ and smite all the cities round about Gerar, for a fear of Yahweh has been upon them, and they spoil all the cities, for abundant spoil has been in them;" ¹⁵ and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem.

BBE⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years. ² And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God; ³ For he took away the altars of strange gods and the high places, and had the upright stones broken and the wood pillars cut down; ⁴ And he made Judah go after the Lord, the God of their fathers, and keep his laws and his orders. ⁵ And he took away the high places and the sun-images from all the towns of Judah; and the kingdom was quiet under his rule. ⁶ He made walled towns in Judah, for the land was quiet and there were no wars in those years, because the Lord had given him rest. ⁷ He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them. ⁸ And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war. ⁹ And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah. ¹⁰ And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah. ¹¹ And Asa made prayer to the Lord his God and said, Lord, you only are able to give help against the strong to him who has no strength; come to our help, O Lord our God, for our hope is in you, and in your name we have come out against this great army. O Lord, you are our God; let not man's power be greater than yours. ¹² So the Lord sent fear on the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah; and the Ethiopians went in flight. ¹³ And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they took away a great amount of their goods. ¹⁴ And they overcame all the towns round Gerar, because the Lord sent fear on them; and they took away their goods from the towns, for there were stores of wealth in them. ¹⁵ And they made an attack on the tents of the owners of the cattle, and took away great numbers of sheep and camels and went back to Jerusalem.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And his son Asa reigned in his place.

2 H609 Asa H6213 did H2896 that which was good H3477 and right H5869 in the eyes H3068 of Yahweh H430 his God:

3 H5493 for he took away H5236 the foreign H4196 altars, H1116 and the high places, H7665 and broke down H4676 the pillars, H7665 and cut down H842 the Asherim,

H776 The land H6440 is yet before H1875 us, because we have sought H3068 Yahweh H430 our God; H1875 we have sought H5117 him, and he has given us rest H5439 on every side." H1129 So they built H6743 and prospered.

8 H609 Asa H2428 had an army H5375 that bore H6793 bucklers H7420 and spears, H3063 out of Judah H7969 three H3967 hundred H505 thousand; H1144 and out of Benjamin, H5375 that bore H4043 shields H1869 and drew H7198 bows, H3967 two hundred H8084 eighty H505 thousand: H1368 all these were mighty men H2428 of valor.

9 H3318 There came out H2226 against them Zerah H3569 the Ethiopian H2428 with an army H505 of a H505 million H7969 troops, and three H3967 hundred H4818 chariots; H935 and he came H4762 to Mareshah.

10 H609 Then Asa H3318 went out H6440 to meet H4421 him, and they set the battle H6186 in array H1516 in the valley H6859 of Zephathah H4762 at Mareshah.

11 H609 Asa H7121 cried H3068 to Yahweh H430 his God, H559 and said, H3068 "Yahweh, H5826 there is none besides you to help, H996 between H7227 the mighty H3581 and him who has no strength. H5826 Help H3068 us, Yahweh H430 our God; H8172 for we rely H8034 on you, and in your name H935 are we come H1995 against this multitude. H3068 Yahweh, H935 you are our God. H582 Don't let man H6113 prevail against you."

12 H3068 So Yahweh H5062 struck H3569 the Ethiopians H6440 before H609 Asa, H6440 and before H3063 Judah; H3569 and the Ethiopians H5127 fled.

13 H609 Asa H5971 and the people H7291 who were with him pursued H1642 them to Gerar: H5307 and there fell H3569 of the Ethiopians H4241 so many that they could not recover H7665 themselves; for they were destroyed H6440 before H3068 Yahweh, H6440 and before H4264 his army; H5375 and they carried away H3966 very H7235 much H7998 booty.

14 H5221 They struck H5892 all the cities H5439 around H1642 Gerar; H6343 for the fear H3068 of Yahweh H962 came on them: and they despoiled H5892 all the cities; H7227 for there was much H961 spoil in them.

15 H5221 They struck H168 also the tents H4735 of livestock, H7617 and carried away H6629 sheep H7230 in abundance, H1581 and camels, H7725 and returned H3389 to Jerusalem.

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ 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 Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: ³ for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, ⁴ and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. 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. ⁶ 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. ⁷ 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 the LORD our God, he has sought us and he has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered. ⁸ 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 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 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. ¹¹ Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, "LORD, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and those who have no strength. Help us, LORD our God; for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. LORD, you are our God. Do not let man prevail against you." ¹² So the LORD struck the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled. ¹³ 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 the LORD, and before his army; and they carried away very much booty. ¹⁴ They struck all the cities around Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came on them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was a great amount of plunder in them. ¹⁵ They struck also the tents of livestock, and carried away sheep in abundance, and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

1 H29 So Abijah H7901 slept H1 with his fathers, H6912 and they buried H5892 him in the city H1732 of David: H609 and Asa H1121 his son H4427 reigned H8478 in his stead. H3117 In his days H776 the land H8252 was quiet H6235 ten H8141 years.

2 H609 And Asa H6213 did H2896 that which was good H3477 and right H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the LORD H430 his God:

3 H5493 For he took H5493 away H4196 the altars H5236 of the strange H1116 gods, and the high H7665 places, and broke H4676 down the images, H1438 and cut H842 down the groves:

4 H559 And commanded H3063 Judah H1875 to seek H3068 the LORD H430 God H1 of their fathers, H6213 and to do H8451 the law H4687 and the commandment.

5 H5493 Also he took H5493 away H3605 out of all H5892 the cities H3063 of Judah H1116 the high H4467 places and the images: and the kingdom H8252 was quiet H6440 before him.

6 H1129 And he built H4694 fenced H5892 cities H3063 in Judah: H776 for the land H8252 had rest, H369 and he had no H4421 war H428 in those H8141 years; H3588 because H3068 the LORD H5117 had given him rest.

7 H559 Therefore he said H3063 to Judah, H1129 Let us build H428 these H5892 cities, H5437 and make about H2346 them walls, H4026 and towers, H1817 gates, H1280 and bars, H776 while the land H5750 is yet H6440 before H3588 us; because H1875 we have sought H3068 the LORD H430 our God, H1875 we have sought H5117 him, and he has given us rest H5437 on every H5439 side. H1129 So they built H6743 and prospered.

8 H609 And Asa H1961 had H2428 an army H5375 of men that bore H6793 targets H7420 and spears, H3063 out of Judah H7969 three H3967 hundred H7239 thousand; H505 H1144 and out of Benjamin, H5375 that bore H4043 shields H1869 and drew H7198 bows, H3967 two hundred H8084 and fourscore H7239 thousand: H505 H3605 all H428 these H1368 were mighty H2428 men of valor.

9 H3318 And there came H413 out against H2226 them Zerah H3569 the Ethiopian H2428 with an host H505 of a thousand H505 thousand, H7969 and three H3967 hundred H4818 chariots; H935 and came H4762 to Mareshah.

10 H609 Then Asa H3318 went H6440 out against H4421 him, and they set the battle H6186 in array H1516 in the valley H6859 of Zephathah H4762 at Mareshah.

11 H609 And Asa H7121 cried H3068 to the LORD H430 his God, H559 and said, H3068 LORD, H369 it is nothing H5826 with you to help, H996 whether H7227 with many, H369 or with them that have no H3581 power: H5826 help H3068 us, O LORD H430 our God; H8172 for we rest H5921 on H8034 you, and in your name H935 we go H5921 against H2088 this H1995 multitude. H3068 O LORD, H430 you are our God; H582 let no man H6113 prevail H5973 against you.

12 H3068 So the LORD H5062 smote H3569 the Ethiopians H6440 before H609 Asa, H6440 and before H3063 Judah; H3569 and the Ethiopians H5127 fled.

13 H609 And Asa H5971 and the people H7291 that were with him pursued H1642 them to Gerar: H3569 and the Ethiopians H5307 were overthrown, H4241 that they could not recover H1992 themselves; H7665 for they were destroyed H6440 before H3068 the LORD, H6440 and before H4264 his host; H5375 and they carried H3966 away very H7235 much H7998 spoil.

14 H5221 And they smote H3605 all H5892 the cities H5439 round H1642 about Gerar; H6343 for the fear H3068 of the LORD H1961 came H962 on them: and they spoiled H3605 all H5892 the cities; H7235 for there was exceeding H7235 much H961 spoil in them.

15 H5221 They smote H1571 also H168 the tents H929 of cattle, H7617 and carried H7617 away H6629 sheep H1581 and camels H7230 in abundance, H7725 and returned H3389 to Jerusalem.

KJ2000⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.

2 H609 And Asa H6213 did H2896 that which was good H3477 and right H5869 in the eyes H3068 of the Lord H430 his God:

3 H5493 For he took away H4196 the altars H5236 of the strange H1116 gods, and the high places, H7665 and broke down H4676 the images, H1438 and cut down H842 the groves:

4 H559 And commanded H3063 Judah H1875 to seek H3068 the Lord H430 God H1 of their fathers, H6213 and to do H8451 the law H4687 and the commandment.

6 H1129 And he built H4694 fenced H5892 cities H3063 in Judah: H776 for the land H8252 had rest, H4421 and he had no war H8141 in those years; H3068 because the Lord H5117 had given him rest.

7 H559 Therefore he said H3063 unto Judah, H1129 Let us build H5892 these cities, H5437 and make about H2346 them walls, H4026 and towers, H1817 gates, H1280 and bars, H776 while the land H6440 is yet before H1875 us; because we have sought H3068 the Lord H430 our God, H1875 we have sought H5117 him, and he has given us rest H5439 on every side.

In the days of Asa the land of Juda had rest ten years. ² And he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God. ³ And he removed the altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke the pillars in pieces, and cut down the groves: ⁴ and he told Juda to seek earnestly the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and commandments. ⁵ And he removed from all the cities of Juda the altars and the idols, and established in quietness ⁶ fortified cities in the land of Juda; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in these years; for the Lord gave him rest. ⁷ And he said to Juda, Let us fortify these cities, and make walls, and towers, and gates, and bars: we shall prevail over the land, for as we have sought out the Lord our God, he has sought out us, and has given us rest round about, and prospered us. ⁸ And Asa had a force of armed men bearing shields and spears in the land of Juda, [even] three hundred thousand, and in the land of Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand targeteers and archers: all these were mighty warriors. ⁹ And Zare the Ethiopian went out against them, with a force of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Maresa. ¹⁰ And Asa went out to meet him, and set the battle in array in the valley north of Maresa. ¹¹ And Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, it is not impossible with you to save by many or by few: strengthen us, O Lord our God; for we trust in you, and in your name have we come against this great multitude. O Lord our God, let not man prevail against you. ¹² And the Lord struck the Ethiopians before Juda; and the Ethiopians fled. ¹³ And Asa and his people pursued them to Gedor; and the Ethiopians fell, so that they could not recover themselves; for they were crushed before the Lord, and before his host; and they took many spoils. ¹⁴ And they destroyed their towns roundabout Gedor; for a terror of the Lord was upon them: and they spoiled all their cities, for they had much spoil. ¹⁵ Also they destroyed the tents of cattle, and the Alimazons, and took many sheep and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Abijah slept in death with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king. In Asa’s time the land had peace for ten years. ² Asa did what Jehovah his God considered good and right. ³ He got rid of the altars of foreign gods. He broke down the sacred stones. He cut down the poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah. ⁴ He told the people of Judah to dedicate their lives to Jehovah. They were to serve the God of their ancestors and observe (obey) his teachings and commandments. ⁵ He got rid of the illegal places of worship and destroyed the altars for incense in all the cities of Judah. The kingdom was at peace during his reign. ⁶ He built fortified cities in Judah and the land had peace. There was no war during those years because Jehovah gave him a time of peace. ⁷ Asa told Judah: »Let us build these cities and make walls around them with towers and doors that can be barred. The country is still ours because we have dedicated our lives to serve Jehovah our God. We have dedicated our lives to him. He has surrounded us with peace.« So they built the cities, and everything went well. ⁸ Asa had an army of three hundred thousand Judeans who were armed with large shields and spears and two hundred and eighty thousand Benjaminites who were armed with small shields and bows. All of these men were strong fighting men. ⁹ Zerah from Ethiopia led an army of a million soldiers and three hundred chariots to the town of Mareshah in Judah. ¹⁰ Asa met him there. The two armies prepared for battle in Zephathah Valley near Mareshah. ¹¹ Asa prayed: »Jehovah, only you can help a powerless army defeat a stronger one. We depend on you to help us. We will fight against this powerful army to honor your name! We know that you will not be defeated. You are Jehovah our God. Do not let man prevail against you.« ¹² Jehovah helped Asa and his army defeat the Ethiopians. The enemy soldiers ran away, ¹³ Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. It was a total defeat! The Ethiopians could not even fight back! The soldiers from Judah took everything that had belonged to the Ethiopians. ¹⁴ Asa and his army attacked all the cities around Gerar because the cities were in dread of Jehovah. The army looted all the cities because there were many things to take. ¹⁵ They also attacked those who were letting their cattle graze and captured many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

ISV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Abijah died, as had his ancestors, and he was buried in the City of David. Abijah’s son Asa reigned in his place, and during his lifetime the land enjoyed rest for ten years.
² Asa Chooses to do What is Right
Asa practiced what the LORD his God considered to be right ³ by removing the foreign altars and high places, tearing down the sacred pillars, cutting down the Asherim, and ⁴ commanding Judah to seek the LORD God of their ancestors and to keep the Law and the commandments. ⁵ He also removed the high places and incense altars from all of the cities of Judah. As a result, the kingdom enjoyed rest under Asa’s leadership.
⁶ Asa built fortified cities throughout Judah while the land lay undisturbed, because the LORD had given him peace so that no one went to war against him during those years. ⁷ He had told Judah, “Let’s build up these cities, surrounding them with walls, towers, gates, and bars. The land still belongs to us, because we have kept on seeking the LORD our God. We have sought him out, and he has given us rest all around us.” So the people built and prospered. ⁸ Asa kept a standing army of 300,000 soldiers from Judah equipped with large shields and spears, as well as 280,000 soldiers from Benjamin, also bearing shields and wielding bows. All of them were valiant soldiers.
⁹ Ethiopia Invades and is RepulsedSometime later, Zerah the Ethiopian went to war against him at Mareshah with an army of one million troops and 300 chariots. ¹⁰ Asa went out to engage him in battle, and they drew up their battle lines at Mareshah in the Zephathah Valley. ¹¹ Asa cried out to the LORD his God, telling him, “LORD, there is no one except for you to help between the powerful and the weak. So help us, LORD God, because we’re depending on you and have come against this vast group in your name. LORD, you are our God. Let no mere mortal man defeat you!”
¹² So the Lord defeated the Ethiopians right in front of Asa and Judah, and the Ethiopians ran away. ¹³ Asa and his army pursued the Ethiopians as far as Gerar. So many Ethiopians died that their army could not recover, because it had been shattered in the LORD’s presence and in the presence of his army. The Israelis carried off a lot of plunder, too, ¹⁴ They attacked all the cities that surrounded Gerar, because fear of the LORD had overwhelmed them. The Israelis spoiled all the cities, because there was a lot to plunder in them. ¹⁵ They also attacked the tents of those who owned livestock and carried off lots of sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ * And Abijah slept with his ancestors,* and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son became king in his place. In his days the land was at rest ten years. ² Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of Yahweh his God. ³ He removed the foreign altars and high places, broke down the stone pillars, and cut down the Asherahs. ⁴ And he commanded Judah to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors,* and to keep the law and the commandment. ⁵ And he removed the high places and the incense stands from all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom had rest under* him. ⁶ And he built fortified cities in Judah, for the land was at rest. Under* him there was no war in those years, for Yahweh had given rest to him. ⁷ And he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities and surround them with walls, towers, gates, and bars while the land is before us, because we have sought Yahweh our God. We have sought and he has given rest to us on every side." So they built and had success. ⁸ And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah, bearing shields and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand from Benjamin who carried shields and drew bows. All of these were mighty warriors of strength. ⁹ Zerah the Cushite came out against them with an army of a thousand thousands and three hundred chariots. And he came to Mareshah. ¹⁰ And Asa went out before him, and a battle was put in order in the valley of Zepah at Mareshah. ¹¹ Then Asa cried out to Yahweh his God. And he said, "O Yahweh, there is none with you to help between the great and the powerless. Help us, O Yahweh our God, for we rely upon you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Yahweh, you are our God! Let no man prevail against you!" ¹² So Yahweh defeated the Cushites before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushites fled. ¹³ Then Asa and the army* with him pursued them to Gerar. And many from the Cushites fell, for they had no deliverance, for they were shattered before Yahweh and before his army. And they carried away much war booty. ¹⁴ And they struck all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of Yahweh was upon them. And they plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them. ¹⁵ And they also struck the tents of the herdsmen and carried away many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

BSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Abijah rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David. And his son Asa reigned in his place, and in his days the land was at peace for ten years. ² And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God. ³ He removed the foreign altars and high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and chopped down the Asherah poles. ⁴ He commanded the people of Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to observe the law and the commandments. ⁵ He also removed the high places and incense altars from all the cities of Judah, and under him the kingdom was at peace. ⁶ Because the land was at peace, Asa built fortified cities in Judah. In those days no one made war with him, because the LORD had given him rest. ⁷ So he said to the people of Judah, “Let us build these cities and surround them with walls and towers, with doors and bars. The land is still ours because we have sought the LORD our God. We have sought Him and He has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered. ⁸ Asa had an army of 300,000 men from Judah bearing large shields and spears, and 280,000 men from Benjamin bearing small shields and drawing the bow. All these were mighty men of valor. ⁹ Then Zerah the Cushite came against them with an army of 1,000,000 men and 300 chariots, and they advanced as far as Mareshah. ¹⁰ So Asa marched out against him and lined up in battle formation in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah. ¹¹ Then Asa cried out to the LORD his God: “O LORD, there is no one besides You to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on You, and in Your name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, You are our God. Do not let a mere mortal prevail against You.” ¹² So the LORD struck down the Cushites before Asa and Judah, and the Cushites fled. ¹³ Then Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar. The Cushites fell and could not recover, for they were crushed before the LORD and His army. So the people of Judah carried off a great amount of plunder ¹⁴ and attacked all the cities around Gerar, because the terror of the LORD had fallen upon them. They plundered all the cities, since there was much plunder there. ¹⁵ They also attacked the tents of the herdsmen and carried off many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

MLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So Abijah slept with his fathers and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned instead of him. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
² And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God. ³ For he took away the foreign altars and the high places and broke down the pillars and hewed down the Asherim, ⁴ and commanded Judah to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers and to do the law and the commandment. 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.
⁶ And he built fortified cities in Judah. For the land was quiet and he had no war in those years, because Jehovah had given him rest. ⁷ For he said to 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 Jehovah our God. We have sought him and he has given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.
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 eighty thousand. All these were mighty men of valor.
⁹ And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a million and three hundred chariots. And he came to Mareshah. ¹⁰ Then Asa went out to meet him and they arranged for battle in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
¹¹ And Asa cried to Jehovah his God and said, Jehovah, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and he who has no strength. Help us, O Jehovah our God. For we rely on you and in your name we come against this multitude. O Jehovah, you are our God. Do not let man prevail against you.
¹² So Jehovah killed* the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah. And the Ethiopians fled. ¹³ And 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 Jehovah and before his army. And they carried away very much booty.
¹⁴ And they killed* all the cities all around Gerar. For the fear of Jehovah came upon them. And they despoiled all the cities. For there was much spoil in them. ¹⁵ They also killed* the tents of cattle and carried away sheep in abundance and camels and returned to Jerusalem.

Luther1545⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Und Abia entschlief mit seinen Vätern, und sie begruben ihn in der Stadt Davids; und Assa, sein Sohn, ward König an seiner Statt. Zu des Zeiten war das Land stille zehn Jahre. ² Und Assa tat, das recht war und dem HERRN, seinem Gott, wohlgefiel. ³ Und tat weg die fremden Altäre und die Höhen und zerbrach die Säulen und hieb die Haine ab; ⁴ und ließ Juda sagen, daß sie den HERRN, den Gott ihrer Väter, suchten und täten nach dem Gesetz und Gebot. ⁵ Und er tat weg aus allen Städten Judas die Höhen und die Götzen.

10 H609 Und Asa H7121 rief H3068 an den HERRN H430 , seinen Gott H559 , und sprach H3068 : HERR H996 , es ist bei dir kein Unterschied H5826 , zu helfen H7227 unter vielen H3581 oder da keine Kraft H5826 ist. Hilf H3068 uns, HERR H430 , unser Gott H8172 ; denn wir verlassen H8034 uns auf dich, und in deinem Namen H935 sind wir gekommen H1995 wider diese Menge H3068 . HERR H430 , unser Gott H6113 , wider H6113 dich vermag H582 kein Mensch etwas.

11 H3068 Und der HERR H5062 schlug H3569 die Mohren H6440 vor H609 Asa H6440 und vor H3063 Juda H5127 , daß sie flohen .

12 H609 Und Asa H5971 samt dem Volk H7291 , das bei ihm war, jagte H1642 ihnen nach bis gen Gerar H3569 . Und die Mohren H5307 fielen H4241 , daß ihrer keiner H4241 lebendig blieb H7665 ; sondern sie wurden geschlagen H6440 vor H3068 dem HERRN H6440 und vor H4264 seinem Heerlager H5375 .

13 H5221 Und er schlug H5892 alle Städte H5439 um H1642 Gerar H6343 her; denn die Furcht H3068 des HERRN H962 kam über sie. Und sie beraubten H5892 alle Städte H7227 ; denn es war viel H961 Raub darin.

14 H5221 Auch schlugen H168 sie die Hütten H4735 des Viehs H7617 und führten H7617 weg H6629 Schafe H7230 die Menge H1581 und Kamele H7725 und kamen H7725 wieder H3389 gen Jerusalem .

ELB1871⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Und Abija legte sich zu seinen Vätern, und man begrub ihn in der Stadt Davids. Und Asa, sein Sohn, ward König an seiner Statt. In seinen Tagen hatte das Land Ruhe zehn Jahre. ² Und Asa tat, was gut und recht war in den Augen Jehovas, seines Gottes. ³ Und er tat die fremden Altäre und die Höhen hinweg, und zerschlug die Bildsäulen und hieb die Ascherim um; ⁴ und er sprach zu Juda, daß sie Jehova, den Gott ihrer Väter, suchen und das Gesetz und das Gebot tun sollten; ⁵ und er tat aus allen Städten Judas die Höhen und die Sonnensäulen hinweg.

DSV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Zo ontsliep Abia met zijn vaderen, en zij begroeven hem in de stad Davids, en zijn zoon Asa werd koning in zijn plaats.

Zo bouwden zij en hadden voorspoed. ⁸ Asa nu had een heir van driehonderd duizend uit Juda, rondas en spies dragende, en tweehonderd en tachtig duizend uit Benjamin, het schild dragende en den boog spannende; al dezen waren kloeke helden. ⁹ En Zerah, de Moor, kwam tegen hen uit, met een heir van duizend maal duizend, en driehonderd wagenen; en hij kwam tot Maresa toe. ¹⁰ Toen toog Asa tegen hem uit; en zij stelden de slagorde in het dal Zefatha bij Maresa. ¹¹ En Asa riep tot den HEERE, zijn God, en zeide: HEERE, het is niets bij U, te helpen hetzij den machtige, hetzij den krachteloze; help ons, o HEERE, onze God! Want wij steunen op U, en in Uw Naam zijn wij gekomen tegen deze menigte; o HEERE! Gij zijt onze God; laat den sterfelijken mens tegen U niets vermogen. ¹² En de HEERE plaagde de Moren voor Asa en voor Juda; en de Moren vloden. ¹³ Asa nu en het volk, dat met hem was, jaagden hen na tot Gerar toe; en zo velen vielen er van de Moren, dat er voor hen geen hervatting was; want zij waren verbroken voor den HEERE en voor Zijn leger; en zij droegen zeer veel roofs daarvan. ¹⁴ En zij sloegen alle steden rondom Gerar; want de verschrikking des HEEREN was over hen; en zij beroofden al de steden, omdat veel roofs in dezelve was. ¹⁵ En zij sloegen ook de tenten van het vee, en voerden weg schapen in menigte, en kemelen; en kwamen weder te Jeruzalem.

Giguet⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ¶ Et Abias mourut, et il alla rejoindre ses pères, et on l’ensevelit en la ville de David; et Asa, son fils, régna à sa place. Sous Asa, Juda fut en paix dix années. ² Et il fit ce qui est bon et droit devant le Seigneur son Dieu. ³ Il répudia les autels des dieux étrangers et les hauts lieux; il brisa les colonnes, il abattit les bois sacrés, ⁴ Et il dit à Juda de chercher le Seigneur Dieu de leurs péres, et de pratiquer sa loi et ses commandements. ⁵ Et il détruisit, dans toutes les villes de Juda, les autels et les idoles, et paisiblement ⁶ Il fortifia des places en Juda; car la terre était en paix. Il n’y eut point de guerre en ces années, parce que le Seigneur lui avait donné du repos. ⁷ Et il dit à Juda: Fortifions les villes, faisons-leur des murs, des tours, des portes, des verrous; nous prévaudrons sur la terre: car de même que nous avons cherché le Seigneur notre Dieu, il nous a cherchés; il nous a donné la paix tout alentour, et il nous a fait prospérer. ⁸ Or, Asa avait en la terre de Juda une force de trois cent mille hommes portant javeline et bouclier; et, en la terre de Benjamin, deux cent quatre-vingt mille archers, ou fantassins armés à la légère; tous ces hommes étaient vaillants et aguerris. ⁹ ¶ Et Zara l’Ethiopien marcha contre eux avec une armée d’un million d’hommes, et trois cents chars; il s’avança jusqu’à Marèsa. ¹⁰ Asa sortit à sa rencontre, et rangea son armée en bataille dans la vallée, au nord de Marèsa. ¹¹ Et Asa cria au Seigneur son Dieu, et il dit: Seigneur, il ne vous est point impossible de sauver, soit avec beaucoup, soit avec peu; fortifiez-nous, Seigneur notre Dieu, car nous avons eu foi en vous, et c’est en votre nom que nous avons marché contre cette grande multitude. Seigneur notre Dieu, que l’homme ne prévaille pas contre vous. ¹² Et le Seigneur frappa les Ethiopiens devant Juda, et les Ethiopiens s’enfuirent. ¹³ Asa et son peuple les poursuivirent jusqu’à Gedsor. Les Ethiopiens tombèrent jusqu’au dernier; car ils furent broyés devant le Seigneur et devant son armée, et les fils de Juda recueillirent d’innombrables dépouilles. ¹⁴ Et ils détruisirent les bourgs autour de Gedsor; car un grand trouble, venant du Seigneur, était sur eux. Les fils de Juda pillèrent leurs villes, et ils firent un riche butin. ¹⁵ Ils détruisirent les tentes des troupeaux, ils dépouillèrent les habitants de la côte, ils emmenèrent quantité de moutons et de chameaux, et ils revinrent à Jérusalem.

Et Abija s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'enterra dans la ville de David. Et Asa, son fils, régna à sa place. De ses jours, le pays fut en repos pendant six ans. ² Et Asa fit ce qui est bon et droit aux yeux de l'Éternel, son Dieu; ³ et il ôta les autels des dieux étrangers, et les hauts lieux, et il brisa les statues et abattit les ashères; ⁴ et il dit à Juda de rechercher l'Éternel, le Dieu de leurs pères, et de pratiquer la loi et les commandements; ⁵ et il ôta de toutes les villes de Juda les hauts lieux et les colonnes consacrées au soleil. Et le royaume fut tranquille devant lui. ⁶ Et il bâtit des villes fortes en Juda, car le pays était tranquille, et il n'eut point de guerre pendant ces années-là, car l'Éternel lui donna du repos. ⁷ Et il dit à Juda: Bâtissons ces villes, et entourons-les de murailles et de tours, de portes et de barres, pendant que le pays est devant nous; car nous avons recherché l'Éternel, notre Dieu: nous l'avons recherché, et il nous a donné du repos tout à l'entour. Et ils bâtirent et prospérèrent. ⁸ Et Asa avait une armée de trois cent mille hommes de Juda, portant le bouclier et la pique, et de deux cent quatre-vingt mille de Benjamin, portant l'écu et tirant de l'arc, tous des hommes forts et vaillants. ⁹
Et Zérakh, l'Éthiopien, sortit contre eux avec une armée d' un million d'hommes, et de trois cents chars; et il vint jusqu'à Marésha. ¹⁰ Et Asa sortit au-devant de lui; et ils se rangèrent en bataille dans la vallée de Tsephatha, près de Marésha. ¹¹ Et Asa invoqua l'Éternel, son Dieu, et dit: Éternel! il n'y a pas de différence pour toi, pour aider, entre beaucoup de force et point de force. Aide-nous, Éternel, notre Dieu! car nous nous appuyons sur toi; et c'est en ton nom que nous sommes venus contre cette multitude. Tu es l'Éternel, notre Dieu; que l'homme n'ait point de force contre toi! ¹² Et l'Éternel frappa les Éthiopiens devant Asa et devant Juda, et les Éthiopiens s'enfuirent. ¹³ Et Asa et le peuple qui était avec lui les poursuivirent jusqu'à Guérar; et il tomba tant d'Éthiopiens qu'ils ne purent reprendre leur force, car ils furent abattus devant l'Éternel et devant son armée. Et ils emportèrent un très-grand butin; ¹⁴ et ils frappèrent toutes les villes qui étaient autour de Guérar, car la frayeur de l'Éternel était sur elles; et ils les pillèrent toutes, car il y avait dans ces villes un grand butin. ¹⁵ Ils frappèrent aussi les tentes des troupeaux, et emmenèrent du menu bétail en quantité, et des chameaux; et ils s'en retournèrent à Jérusalem.

Martin⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Puis Abija s'endormit avec ses pères, et on l'ensevelit dans la Cité de David, et Asa son fils régna en sa place. De son temps le pays fut en repos durant dix ans. ² Or Asa fit ce qui est bon et droit devant l'Eternel son Dieu. ³ Car il ôta les autels des dieux des étrangers, et les hauts lieux, et brisa les statues, et coupa les bocages. ⁴ Et il commanda à Juda de rechercher l'Eternel le Dieu de leurs pères, et d'observer la Loi et les Commandements. ⁵ Et il ôta aussi de toutes les villes de Juda les hauts lieux et les tabernacles; et le Royaume fut en repos sous sa conduite. ⁶ Il bâtit aussi des villes fortes en Juda, parce que le pays était en repos; et pendant ces années-là il n'y eut point de guerre contre lui, parce que l'Eternel lui donnait du repos. ⁷ Car il dit à Juda : Bâtissons ces villes, et entourons-les de murailles, de tours, de portes, et de barres, pendant que nous sommes maîtres du pays; parce que nous avons invoqué l'Eternel notre Dieu; nous l'avons invoqué, et il nous a donné du repos tout alentour; c'est pourquoi ils bâtirent, et prospérèrent. ⁸ Or Asa avait en son armée trois cent mille hommes de ceux de Juda, portant le bouclier et la javeline; et deux cent quatre-vingt mille de ceux de Benjamin, portant le bouclier, et tirant de l'arc, tous forts et vaillants. ⁹ Et Zeraph Ethiopien sortait contr'eux avec une armée d'un million d'hommes, et de trois cents chariots, et il vint jusqu'à Marésa. ¹⁰ Et Asa alla au devant de lui, et on rangea la bataille en la vallée de Tséphath, près de Marésa. ¹¹ Alors Asa cria à l'Eternel son Dieu, et dit : Eternel! Il ne t'est pas plus difficile d'aider celui qui n'a point de force, que celui qui a des gens en grand nombre. Aide-nous, ô Eternel notre Dieu! car nous nous sommes appuyés sur toi; et nous sommes venus en ton Nom contre cette multitude. Tu es l'Eternel notre Dieu; que l'homme n'ait point de force contre toi! ¹² Et l'Eternel frappa les Ethiopiens devant Asa et devant Juda; en sorte que les Ethiopiens s'enfuirent. ¹³ Et Asa et le peuple qui était avec lui les poursuivirent jusqu'à Guérar; et il tomba tant d'Ethiopiens, qu'ils n'eurent plus aucune force; car ils furent défaits devant l'Eternel, et devant son armée; et on en rapporta un fort grand butin. ¹⁴ Ils frappèrent aussi toutes les villes qui étaient autour de Guérar, parce que la terreur de l'Eternel était sur eux; et ils pillèrent toutes ces villes; car il y avait dans ces villes de quoi faire un grand butin. ¹⁵ Ils abattirent aussi les tentes des troupeaux, et emmenèrent quantité de brebis et de chameaux; après quoi ils s'en retournèrent à Jérusalem.

Segond⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Abija se coucha avec ses pères, et on l'enterra dans la ville de David. Et Asa, son fils, régna à sa place. De son temps, le pays fut en repos pendant dix ans. ² Asa fit ce qui est bien et droit aux yeux de l'Eternel, son Dieu. ³ Il fit disparaître les autels de l'étranger et les hauts lieux, il brisa les statues et abattit les idoles. ⁴ Il ordonna à Juda de rechercher l'Eternel, le Dieu de ses pères, et de pratiquer la loi et les commandements. ⁵ Il fit disparaître de toutes les villes de Juda les hauts lieux et les statues consacrées au soleil. Et le royaume fut en repos devant lui. ⁶ Il bâtit des villes fortes en Juda; car le pays fut tranquille et il n'y eut pas de guerre contre lui pendant ces années-là, parce que l'Eternel lui donna du repos. ⁷ Il dit à Juda: Bâtissons ces villes, et entourons-les de murs, de tours, de portes et de barres; le pays est encore devant nous, car nous avons recherché l'Eternel, notre Dieu, nous l'avons recherché, et il nous a donné du repos de tous côtés. Ils bâtirent donc, et réussirent. ⁸ Asa avait une armée de trois cent mille hommes de Juda, portant le bouclier et la lance, et de deux cent quatre-vingt mille de Benjamin, portant le bouclier et tirant de l'arc, tous vaillants hommes. ⁹ Zérach, l'Ethiopien, sortit contre eux avec une armée d'un million d'hommes et trois cents chars, et il s'avança jusqu'à Maréscha. ¹⁰ Asa marcha au-devant de lui, et ils se rangèrent en bataille dans la vallée de Tsephata, près de Maréscha. ¹¹ Asa invoqua l'Eternel, son Dieu, et dit: Eternel, toi seul peux venir en aide au faible comme au fort: viens à notre aide, Eternel, notre Dieu! car c'est sur toi que nous nous appuyons, et nous sommes venus en ton nom contre cette multitude. Eternel, tu es notre Dieu: que ce ne soit pas l'homme qui l'emporte sur toi! ¹² L'Eternel frappa les Ethiopiens devant Asa et devant Juda, et les Ethiopiens prirent la fuite. ¹³ Asa et le peuple qui était avec lui les poursuivirent jusqu'à Guérar, et les Ethiopiens tombèrent sans pouvoir sauver leur vie, car ils furent détruits par l'Eternel et par son armée. Asa et son peuple firent un très grand butin; ¹⁴ ils frappèrent toutes les villes des environs de Guérar, car la terreur de l'Eternel s'était emparée d'elles, et ils pillèrent toutes les villes, dont les dépouilles furent considérables. ¹⁵ Ils frappèrent aussi les tentes des troupeaux, et ils emmenèrent une grande quantité de brebis et de chameaux.

Albanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Pastaj Abijahun pushoi bashkë me etërit e tij dhe e varrosën në qytetin e Davidit. Në vend të tij mbretëroi i biri, Asa. Në kohën e tij vendi qe i qetë dhjetë vjet. ² Asa bëri atë që ishtë e mirë dhe e drejtë në sytë e Zotit, Perëndisë të tij. ³ Ai hoqi nga vendi altarët e perëndive të huaj dhe vendet e larta, shkatërroi shtyllat e shenjta dhe i bëri copë-copë Asherimët. ⁴ Përveç kësaj urdhëroi Judën të kërkojë Zotin, Perëndinë e etërve të tyre, dhe të zbatojë në praktikë ligjin dhe urdhërimet. ⁵ Hoqi gjithashtu nga të gjitha qytetet e Judës vendet e larta dhe idhujt; dhe me të mbretëria njohu një periudhë qetësie. ⁶ Ai ndërtoi qytete të fortifikuara në Judë, sepse vendi ishte i qetë. Në ato vite nuk pati asnjë luftë kundër tij, sepse Zoti i kishte dhënë qetësi. ⁷ Ai u thoshte atyre të Judës: "Le t'i ndërtojmë këto qytete dhe t'i rrethojmë me mure, me kulla, me porta dhe shufra. Vendi është akoma në dispozicionin tonë, sepse kemi kërkuar Zotin, Perëndinë tonë; ne e kemi kërkuar dhe ai na ka dhënë paqe rreth e qark". Kështu ata iu vunë ndërtimit dhe u begatuan. ⁸ Asa kishte një ushtri prej treqindmijë njerëzish nga Juda që mbanin ushta dhe mburoja, si dhe dyqind e tetëdhjetë mijë nga Beniamini që mbanin mburoja dhe gjuanin me hark; tërë këta ishin burra të fortë dhe trima. ⁹ Kundër tyre doli Zerahu, Etiopasi, me një ushtri prej një milion burrash dhe me treqind qerre dhe arriti deri në Mareshah. ¹⁰ Asa doli atëherë kundër tij dhe u vendosën në rend beteje në luginën e Tsefathahut pranë Mareshahut. ¹¹ Atëherë Asa i klithi Zotit, Perëndisë të tij, dhe tha: "O Zot, nuk ka njeri veç teje që mund të ndihmojë në luftimet midis një të fuqishmi dhe atij që i mungon forca. Na ndihmo, o Zot, Perëndia ynë, sepse ne mbështetemi te ti dhe dalim kundër kësaj shumice në emrin tënd. O Zot, ti je Perëndia ynë; mos lejo që njeriu të ta kalojë ty!". ¹² Kështu Zoti goditi Etiopasit përpara Asas dhe përpara Judës, dhe Etiopasit ua mbathën këmbëve. ¹³ Atëherë Asa dhe njerëzit që ishin me të i ndoqën deri në Gherar. Prandaj Etiopasit u mundën, prej tyre nuk mbeti asnjë i gjallë, sepse ata u shkatërruan përpara Zotit dhe ushtrisë së tij. Dhe ata morën një plaçkë shumë të madhe. ¹⁴ Pastaj sulmuan tërë qytetet rreth e qark Gherarit, sepse tmeri i Zotit i kishte zënë, dhe ata plaçkitën tërë qytetet në të cilat kishte plaçkë të madhe. ¹⁵ Sulmuan gjithashtu vathët e bagëtive dhe morën me vete një numër të madh dhensh dhe devesh. Pastaj u kthyen në Jeruzalem.

RST⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И почил Авия с отцами своими, и похоронили его в городе Давидовом. Ивоцарился Аса, сын его, вместо него. Во дни его покоилась земля десятьлет. ² И делал Аса доброе и угодное в очах Господа Бога своего: ³ и отверг он жертвенники богов чужих и высоты, и разбил статуи, и вырубил посвященные дерева; ⁴ и повелел Иудеям взыскать Господа Бога отцов своих, и исполнять закон Его и заповеди; ⁵ и отменил он во всех городах Иудиных высоты и статуи солнца. И спокойно было при нем царство. ⁶ И построил он укрепленные города в Иудее, ибо спокойна была земля, и не было у него войны в те годы, так как Господь далпокой ему. ⁷ И сказал он Иудеям: построим города сии и обнесем их стенами с башнями, с воротами и запорами. Земля еще наша, потому что мы взыскали Господа Бога нашего: мы взыскали Его, – и Он дал нам покой со всех сторон. И стали строить, и имели успех. ⁸ И было у Асы военной силы: вооруженных щитом и копьем из колена Иудина триста тысяч, и из колена Вениаминова вооруженных щитом и стрелявших из лука двести восемьдесят тысяч, людей храбрых. ⁹ И вышел на них Зарай Ефиоплянин с войском в тысячу тысяч и с тремя стами колесниц и дошел до Мареши. ¹⁰ И выступил Аса против него, и построились к сражению на долинеЦефата у Мареши. ¹¹ И воззвал Аса к Господу Богу своему, и сказал: Господи! не в Твоейли силе помочь сильному или бессильному? помоги же нам, Господи Боже наш: ибо мы на Тебяуповаем и во имя Твое вышли мы против множества сего. Господи! Ты Бог наш: да не превозможет Тебя человек. ¹² И поразил Господь Ефиоплян пред лицем Асы и пред лицем Иуды, и побежали Ефиопляне. ¹³ И преследовал их Аса и народ, бывший с ним, до Герара, и пали Ефиопляне, так что у них никого не осталось в живых, потому что они поражены были пред Господом и пред воинством Его. И набрали добычи великое множество. ¹⁴ И разрушили все города вокруг Герара, потому что напал на них ужас от Господа; иразграбили все города и вынесли из них весьма много добычи. ¹⁵ Также и пастушеские шалаши разорили и угнали множество стад мелкого скота и верблюдов и возвратились в Иерусалим.

Arabic⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ثم اضطجع ابيا مع آبائه فدفنوه في مدينة داود وملك آسا ابنه عوضا عنه. في ايامه استراحت الارض عشر سنين ² وعمل آسا ما هو صالح ومستقيم في عيني الرب الهه. ³ ونزع المذابح الغريبة والمرتفعات وكسر التماثيل وقطع السواري ⁴ وقال ليهوذا ان يطلبوا الرب اله آبائهم وان يعملوا حسب الشريعة والوصية. ⁵ ونزع من كل مدن يهوذا المرتفعات وتماثيل الشمس واستراحت المملكة امامه. ⁶ وبنى مدنا حصينة في يهوذا لان الارض استراحت ولم تكن عليه حرب في تلك السنين لان الرب اراحه. ⁷ وقال ليهوذا لنبن هذه المدن ونحوّطها باسوار وابراج وابواب وعوارض ما دامت الارض امامنا لاننا قد طلبنا الرب الهنا. طلبناه فاراحنا من كل جهة. فبنوا ونجحوا. ⁸ وكان لآسا جيش يحملون اتراسا ورماحا من يهوذا ثلاث مئة الف ومن بنيامين من الذين يحملون الاتراس ويشدّون القسي مئتان وثمانون الفا. كل هؤلاء جبابرة بأس ⁹ فخرج اليهم زارح الكوشي بجيش الف الف وبمركبات ثلاث مئة واتى الى مريشة. ¹⁰ وخرج آسا للقائه واصطفوا للقتال في وادي صفاتة عند مريشة. ¹¹ ودعا آسا الرب الهه وقال ايها الرب ليس فرقا عندك ان تساعد الكثيرين ومن ليس لهم قوة. فساعدنا ايها الرب الهنا لاننا عليك اتكلنا وباسمك قدمنا على هذا الجيش. ايها الرب انت الهنا. لا يقو عليك انسان. ¹² فضرب الرب الكوشيين امام آسا وامام يهوذا فهرب الكوشيون. ¹³ وطردهم آسا والشعب الذي معه الى جرار وسقط من الكوشيين حتى لم يكن لهم حيّ لانهم انكسروا امام الرب وامام جيشه. فحملوا غنيمة كثيرة جدا. ¹⁴ وضربوا جميع المدن التي حول جرار لان رعب الرب كان عليهم ونهبوا كل المدن لانه كان فيها نهب كثير. ¹⁵ وضربوا ايضا خيام الماشية وساقوا غنما كثيرا وجمالا ثم رجعوا الى اورشليم

Bulgarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ И Авия легна при бащите си и го погребаха в Давидовия град. А вместо него се възцари синът му Аса. В неговите дни земята се успокои за десет години. ² И Аса върши това, което беше добро и право пред ГОСПОДА, своя Бог. ³ Той премахна жертвениците на чуждите богове и високите места, разби стълбовете и изсече ашерите. ⁴ И заповяда на Юда да търсят ГОСПОДА, Бога на бащите си, и да изпълняват закона и заповедта Му. ⁵ И той премахна високите места и стълбовете на слънцето от всичките юдови градове. И царството се успокои под него. ⁶ И той построи укрепени градове в Юда; и земята се успокои и нямаше война срещу него в онези години, понеже ГОСПОД му даде покой. ⁷ И той каза на Юда: Нека да построим тези градове и да направим около тях стени и кули, порти и лостове, докато земята е още свободна пред нас, понеже потърсихме ГОСПОДА, своя Бог. Потърсихме Го и Той ни даде покой отвсякъде. И така, строиха и успяха. ⁸ А Аса имаше войска: от Юда триста хиляди щитоносци и копиеносци и от Вениамин двеста и осемдесет хиляди стрелци с лък, които носеха щитчета. Всички бяха силни и храбри. ⁹ И етиопецът Зара излезе против тях с войска от хиляда пъти по хиляда мъже и триста колесници и стигна до Мариса. ¹⁰ И Аса излезе срещу него и се строиха за бой в долината Сефата, при Мариса. ¹¹ И Аса извика към ГОСПОДА, своя Бог и каза: ГОСПОДИ, никой освен теб не може да помогне в битката между многочисления и безсилния. Помогни ни, ГОСПОДИ, Боже наш, защото на Теб се уповаваме и в Твоето Име сме излезли срещу това множество. ГОСПОДИ, Ти си нашият Бог — не може човек да надделее против Теб! ¹² И ГОСПОД разби етиопците пред Аса и пред Юда и етиопците побягнаха. ¹³ А Аса и народът, който беше с него, ги преследваха до Герар. И от етиопците паднаха толкова много, че вече не можаха да се съвземат, защото бяха смазани пред ГОСПОДА и пред Неговото войнство. И юдовите мъже отнесоха много голяма плячка. ¹⁴ Разбиха и всичките градове около Герар, защото страх от ГОСПОДА ги беше обзел, и ограбиха всичките градове, защото в тях имаше голяма плячка. ¹⁵ Нападнаха и шатрите при стадата и взеха много дребен добитък и камили. И се върнаха в Ерусалим.

Croatian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Asa je činio što je dobro i pravo u očima Jahve, njegova Boga. ² Uklonio je tuđinske žrtvenike i uzvišice, polomio stupove i razbio ašere. ³ Naredio je Judejcima da traže Jahvu, Boga svojih otaca, da se drže zakona i zapovijedi. ⁴ Uklonio je iz svih judejskih gradova uzvišice i sunčane stupove, a kraljevstvo je bilo mirno za njegova vremena. ⁵ Sagradio je tvrde gradove u Judeji, jer je zemlja bila mirna. Nitko se nije zaratio na nj onih godina, jer mu je Jahve dao mir. ⁶ Zato je Asa rekao Judejcima: "Da pogradimo ove gradove i da ih opašemo zidom i kulama, vratima i prijevornicama; još je zemlja pred nama naša, jer smo tražili Jahvu, svoga Boga; tražili smo ga, i on nam je dao mir odasvud uokolo!" Tako su gradili i bili sretni. ⁷ Asa je imao vojske trista tisuća ljudi između Judejaca koji su nosili štit i koplje, a od Benjaminova plemena dvjesta i osamdeset tisuća koji su nosili štit i zapinjali luk. Svi su bili hrabri junaci. ⁸ Izašao je na njih Etiopljanin Zerah sa tisuću tisuća vojnika i tri stotine bojnih kola i došao do Mareše. ⁹ Asa je izašao preda nj; svrstali su se u bojni red u Sefatskoj dolini kod Mareše. ¹⁰ Asa zavapi k Jahvi, Bogu svome: "O Jahve, tebi je ništa pomoći silnome ili nejakome! Pomozi nam, o Jahve, Bože naš, jer se na te oslanjamo i u tvoje smo ime izišli na ovo mnoštvo! Jahve, ti si Bog naš, ne daj snažnu čovjeku protiv sebe!" ¹¹ Jahve razbi Etiopljane pred Asom i pred Judejcima te Etiopljani pobjegoše. ¹² Asa ih je s narodom koji bijaše s njim potjerao sve do Gerara. Etiopljani su popadali, tako da nijedan nije ostao živ jer ih je satro Jahve i njegove čete; i one su odnijele vrlo velik plijen. ¹³ Osvojile su sve gradove oko Gerara jer je Jahvin strah došao na njih; oplijenile su sve te gradove, jer je u njima bilo mnogo plijena. ¹⁴ Poharale su i šatore za stoku i zaplijenile mnoštvo sitne stoke i deva; a onda su se vratile u Jeruzalem. ¹⁵

BKR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Když pak usnul Abiáš s otci svými, a pochovali jej v městě Davidově, kraloval Aza syn jeho místo něho. Za jeho dnů v pokoji byla země deset let. ² I činil Aza to, což se dobře líbilo Hospodinu Bohu jeho. ³ Nebo zbořil oltáře cizí i výsosti, a stroskotal obrazy jejich, a posekal háje jejich. ⁴ A přikázal Judovi, aby hledali Hospodina Boha otců svých, a ostříhali zákona a přikázaní jeho. ⁵ Zkazil, pravím, po všech městech Judských výsosti a slunečné obrazy, a bylo v pokoji království za času jeho. ⁶ Zatím vzdělal města hrazená v Judstvu, proto že v pokoji byla země, aniž jaká proti němu válka povstala těch let; nebo Hospodin dal jemu odpočinutí. ⁷ I řekl lidu Judskému: Vzdělejme ta města, a ohraďme je zdmi a věžemi, branami i závorami, dokudž země jest v moci naší. Aj, že jsme hledali Hospodina Boha svého, hledali jsme ho, a dal nám odpočinutí odevšad. A tak stavěli a šťastně se jim zvedlo. ⁸ Měl pak Aza vojsko těch, kteříž nosili štíty a kopí, z pokolení Judova třikrát sto tisíců, a z Beniaminova pavézníků a střelců dvě stě a osmdesáte tisíců. Všickni ti byli muži udatní. ⁹ I vytáhl proti nim Zerach Mouřenín, maje v vojště desetkrát sto tisíců, a vozů tři sta, a přitáhl až k Maresa. ¹⁰ Vytáhl též i Aza proti němu. I sšikovali vojska v údolí Sefata u Maresa. ¹¹ Tedy volal Aza k Hospodinu Bohu svému, a řekl: Hospodine, neníť potřebí tobě velikého množství, když ty chceš pomoci mdlejším. Pomoziž nám, Hospodine Bože náš, neboť v tebe doufáme, a ve jménu tvém jdeme proti množství tomuto. Hospodine, ty jsi Bůh náš; nechť nemá moci proti tobě bídný člověk. ¹² I ranil Hospodin Mouřeníny před Azou a před lidem Judským, tak že utíkali Mouřenínové. ¹³ A honil je Aza i lid, kterýž byl s ním, až do Gerar. I padli Mouřenínové, že se nijakž otaviti nemohli; nebo potříni jsou před Hospodinem a před vojskem jeho. I odnesli onino kořistí velmi mnoho. ¹⁴ Pohubili také všecka města vůkol Gerar; strach zajisté Hospodinův připadl na ně. I vzebrali všecka města; nebo mnoho kořistí v nich bylo. ¹⁵ Též i obyvatele v staních při dobytcích zbili, a zajavše ovec velmi mnoho a velbloudů, navrátili se do Jeruzaléma.

Danish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og Abia laa med sine Fædre, og de begrove ham i Davids Stad, og Asa, hans Søn, blev Konge i hans Sted; i hans Dage havde Landet Ro i ti Aar. ² Og Asa gjorde det, som var godt og ret for HERRENS hans Guds Øjne. ³ Og han borttog de fremmede Altre og Højene og sønderbrød Støtterne og sønderhuggede Astartebillederne. ⁴ Og han sagde til Juda, at de skulde søge HERREN, deres Fædres Gud, og gøre Loven og Budet. ⁵ Og han borttog Højene og Solbillederne fra alle Stæder i Juda, og Riget havde Ro under ham. ⁶ Og han byggede faste Stæder i Juda, fordi Landet havde Ro, og der var ingen Krig imod ham i disse Aar; thi HERREN skaffede ham Rolighed. ⁷ Og han sagde til Juda: Lader os bygge disse Stæder og føre Mur op omkring dem med Taarne, dobbelte Porte og Stænger, da Landet endnu ligger for os; thi vi have søgt HERREN vor Gud, vi have søgt ham, og han har skaffet os Rolighed trindt omkring. Saa byggedeg de, og det lykkedes for dem. ⁸ Og Asa havde en Hær, som bar Skjold og Spyd, af Juda tre Hundrede Tusinde og af Benjamin, som bare Skjold og spændte, Bue, to Hundrede og firsindstyve Tusinde; alle disse vare vældige til Strid. ⁹ Og Morianen Sera drog ud imod dem med en Hær, tusinde Gange tusinde, og med tre Hundrede Vogne; og han kom lige til Maresa. ¹⁰ Og Asa drog ud imod ham, og de rustede sig til Slag i Zefatas Dal ved Maresa. ¹¹ Og Asa raabte til HERREN sin Gud og sagde: HERRE! hos dig, naar du vil hjælpe, gør det ingen Forskel, om en har megen, eller ingen Kraft; hjælp os, HERRE vor Gud! thi vi forlade os fast paa dig, og vi ere komne i dit Navn imod denne Hob; HERRE! du er vor Gud, intet Menneske skal formaa noget imod dig. ¹² Og HERREN slog Morianerne for Asas Ansigt og for Judas Ansigt, og Morianerne flyede. ¹³ Og Asa og Folket, som var med ham, forfulgte dem indtil Gerar; og der faldt af Morianerne saa mange, at ingen af dem blev levende; thi de bleve knuste for HERRENS Ansigt og for hans Hær; og man gjorde et saare stort Bytte. ¹⁴ Og de sloge alle Stæder trindt omkring Gerar, thi HERRENS Frygt var over disse; og de udplyndrede alle Stæderne, thi der var meget Bytte i dem. ¹⁵ Og de sloge ogsaa Kvægteltene, og bortførte smaat Kvæg i Mangfoldighed og Kameler, og de kom tilbage til Jerusalem.

Esperanto⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Kaj Abija ekdormis kun siaj patroj, kaj oni enterigis lin en la urbo de David. Kaj anstataux li ekregxis lia filo Asa. En lia tempo la lando estis trankvila dum dek jaroj. ² Asa agadis bone kaj juste antaux la Eternulo, sia Dio. ³ Li forigis la altarojn de fremdaj dioj kaj la altajxojn, li disbatis la statuojn, kaj dehakis la sanktajn stangojn. ⁴ Kaj li ordonis al la Judoj turni sin al la Eternulo, Dio de iliaj patroj, por plenumi la instruon kaj la ordonojn. ⁵ Li forigis el cxiuj urboj de Judujo la altajxojn kaj la kolonojn de la suno. Kaj la regno estis trankvila sub li. ⁶ Li konstruis urbojn fortikigitajn en Judujo; la lando estis trankvila, kaj li ne havis militon en tiuj jaroj, cxar la Eternulo donis al li ripozon. ⁷ Kaj li diris al la Judoj:Ni prikonstruu cxi tiujn urbojn, ni cxirkauxigu ilin per muregoj kaj turoj, pordoj, kaj rigliloj. La lando estas ankoraux nia, cxar ni turnis nin al la Eternulo, nia Dio; ni turnis nin, kaj Li donis al ni trankvilecon cxirkauxe. Kaj ili konstruis, kaj la afero iris sukcese. ⁸ Kaj Asa havis militistaron:da viroj armitaj per sxildo kaj lanco el la Jehudaidoj tricent mil, kaj el la Benjamenidoj da viroj portantaj mansxildon kaj pafantaj per pafarko estis ducent okdek mil; cxiuj ili estis bravaj militistoj. ⁹ Eliris kontraux ilin Zerahx, la Etiopo, kun militistaro de unu miliono kaj kun tricent cxaroj, kaj li venis gxis Maresxa. ¹⁰ Kaj eliris Asa renkonte al li, kaj ili arangxigxis al batalo en la valo Cefata, apud Maresxa. ¹¹ Kaj Asa ekvokis al la Eternulo, sia Dio, kaj diris:Ho Eternulo, por Vi ne estas diferenco helpi al grandnombrulo aux al senfortulo; helpu do al ni, ho Eternulo, nia Dio, cxar sur Vi ni nin apogas kaj en Via nomo ni venis kontraux cxi tiun grandan anaron. Ho Eternulo, Vi estas nia Dio; kontraux Vi neniu homo montrigxu forta. ¹² Kaj la Eternulo frapis la Etiopojn antaux Asa kaj antaux la Judoj, kaj la Etiopoj forkuris. ¹³ Kaj Asa, kaj la popolo, kiu estis kun li, persekutis ilin gxis Gerar; kaj la Etiopoj falis tiel, ke neniu el ili restis vivanta; cxar ili estis frakasitaj antaux la Eternulo kaj antaux Lia militistaro. Kaj ili forportis tre multe da militakirajxo. ¹⁴ Kaj ili venkobatis cxiujn urbojn cxirkauxe de Gerar, cxar sur ilin falis teruro de la Eternulo; kaj ili prirabis cxiujn urbojn, cxar en ili trovigxis multe da rabeblajxo. ¹⁵ Ankaux ili disbatis la tendojn de la brutoj, kaptis multe da sxafoj kaj da kameloj, kaj revenis en Jerusalemon.

Finnish⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ja Abia nukkui isäinsä kanssa ja he hautasivat hänen Davidin kaupunkiin; ja Asa hänen poikansa tuli kuninkaaksi hänen siaansa. Hänen aikanansa oli maa levossa kymmenen ajastaikaa. ² Ja Asa teki sitä mikä hyvä ja oikia oli Herran hänen Jumalansa edessä, ³ Ja otti vieraat alttarit pois ja korkeudet, ja rikkoi patsaat, ja maahan hakkasi metsistöt, ⁴ Ja sanoi Juudalle, että he etsisivät Herraa, isäinsä Jumalaa, ja tekisivät lain ja käskyn jälkeen. ⁵ Ja hän otti pois korkeudet ja epäjumalat kaikista Juudan kaupungeista; ja valtakunta oli levossa hänen allansa. ⁶ Ja hän rakensi vahvat kaupungit Juudassa; sillä maa oli levossa, ja ei ollut sotaa häntä vastaan niinä vuosina; sillä Herra antoi hänelle levon. ⁷ Ja hän sanoi Juudalle: rakentakaamme nämät kaupungit, ja tehkäämme muurit niiden ympäri, ja tornit, ja portit, ja salvat, niin kauvan kuin maa on meidän edessämme; sillä me olemme etsineet Herraa meidän Jumalaamme, häntä me olemme etsineet, ja hän on antanut meille levon jo joka taholta. Niin he rakensivat, ja se menestyi. ⁸ Ja Asalla oli suuri sotajoukko, jotka kantoivat kilpiä ja keihäitä: Juudasta kolmesataa tuhatta, ja BenJaminista, jotka kilpiä kantoivat ja joutsia jännittivät, kaksisataa ja kahdeksankymmentä tuhatta. Ja nämät olivat kaikki väkevät sotamiehet. ⁹ Ja Sera Etiopialainen meni heitä vastaan suuren sotajoukon kanssa, jossa oli kymmenen kertaa satatuhatta miestä ja kolmesataa vaunua, ja tuli Maresaan asti. ¹⁰ Ja Asa meni häntä vastaan. Ja he hankitsivat sotimaan Zephatan laaksossa Maresan tykönä. ¹¹ Ja Asa huusi Herran Jumalansa tykö ja sanoi: Herra! et sinä väliä pidä auttaissas monen kautta, taikka kussa ei yhtäkään voimaa ole. Auta meitä, Herra meidän Jumalamme! sillä me turvaamme sinuun, ja olemme tulleet sinun nimees tätä suurta joukkoa vastaan; sinä olet Herra meidän Jumalamme, ei yksikään ihminen voi mitään sinua vastaan. ¹² Ja Herra löi Etiopialaisia Asan ja Juudan edessä, niin että Etiopialaiset pakenivat. ¹³ Ja Asa ja hänen väkensä, jotka olivat hänen kanssansa, ajoivat heitä Gerariin asti takaa. Ja Etiopialaiset kaatuivat, niin ettei yhtään heistä eläväksi jäänyt, vaan he tapettiin Herran ja hänen sotaväkensä edessä. Ja he veivät sieltä paljon saalista. ¹⁴ Ja he löivät kaikki kaupungit Gerarin ympäriltä maahan; sillä Herran pelko tuli heidän päällensä. Ja he ryöstivät kaikki kaupungit; sillä niissä oli paljo saalista. ¹⁵ Ja he löivät navetat maahan, ja veivät ylen paljon lampaita ja kameleja, ja tulivat jälleen Jerusalemiin.

FinnishPR⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Sitten Abia meni lepoon isiensä tykö, ja hänet haudattiin Daavidin kaupunkiin. Ja hänen poikansa Aasa tuli kuninkaaksi hänen sijaansa. Hänen aikanansa oli maassa rauha kymmenen vuotta. ² Ja Aasa teki sitä, mikä oli hyvää ja oikeata Herran, hänen Jumalansa, silmissä. ³ Hän poisti vieraat alttarit ja uhrikukkulat, murskasi patsaat ja hakkasi maahan asera-karsikot. ⁴ Ja hän kehoitti Juudaa etsimään Herraa, heidän isiensä Jumalaa, ja noudattamaan lakia ja käskyjä. ⁵ Ja kaikista Juudan kaupungeista hän poisti uhrikukkulat ja auringonpatsaat, ja valtakunnassa oli rauha hänen aikanansa. ⁶ Ja hän rakensi varustettuja kaupunkeja Juudaan, koska maassa oli rauha eikä hänellä näinä vuosina ollut mitään sotaa; sillä Herra oli suonut hänen päästä rauhaan. ⁷ Hän sanoi Juudalle: "Linnoittakaamme nämä kaupungit, ympäröikäämme ne muureilla ja torneilla, ovilla ja salvoilla. Vielä on maa meidän vallassamme, sentähden että me olemme etsineet Herraa, meidän Jumalaamme. Me olemme etsineet häntä, ja hän on suonut meidän päästä rauhaan joka taholla." Niin he rakensivat, ja se heille onnistui. ⁸ Ja Aasalla oli sotajoukko, joka oli varustettu kilvillä ja keihäillä: Juudasta oli kolmesataa tuhatta miestä ja Benjaminista kaksisataa kahdeksankymmentä tuhatta, jotka kantoivat kilpeä ja jännittivät jousta. Kaikki nämä olivat sotaurhoja. ⁹ Mutta etiopialainen Serah lähti heitä vastaan sotajoukolla, jossa oli miehiä tuhannen tuhatta ja sotavaunuja kolmesataa; ja hän tuli Maaresaan saakka. ¹⁰ Ja Aasa lähti häntä vastaan, ja he asettuivat sotarintaan Sefatan laaksoon, Maaresaan. ¹¹ Ja Aasa huusi Herraa, Jumalaansa, ja sanoi: "Herra, sinä yksin voit auttaa taistelussa voimallisen ja voimattoman välillä. Auta meitä, Herra, meidän Jumalamme, sillä sinuun me turvaudumme ja sinun nimessäsi me olemme tulleet tätä suurta joukkoa vastaan. Herra, sinä olet meidän Jumalamme; älä salli ihmisen päästä voitolle sinusta." ¹² Niin Herra antoi Aasan ja Juudan voittaa etiopialaiset, ja etiopialaiset pakenivat. ¹³ Ja Aasa ja väki, joka oli hänen kanssaan, ajoivat heitä takaa Gerariin saakka. Ja etiopialaisia kaatui niin paljon, ettei heistä jäänyt ketään henkiin, sillä Herra ja hänen sotajoukkonsa tuhosivat heidät. Ja he ottivat paljon saalista, ¹⁴ valloittivat kaikki kaupungit Gerarin ympäriltä, sillä Herran kauhu oli vallannut nämä, ja ryöstivät kaikki kaupungit, sillä niissä oli paljon ryöstettävää. ¹⁵ Jopa karjamajatkin he valtasivat, veivät pois saaliinaan paljon lampaita ja kameleja ja palasivat Jerusalemiin.

Haitian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Lè Abija mouri, yo antere l' lavil David la. Se Asa, pitit gason li, ki moute wa nan plas li. Sou rèy Asa, peyi a viv ak kè poze pandan dizan. ² Asa te fè sa ki byen ak sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye l' la. ³ Li fè disparèt tout lotèl yo te bati pou bondye lòt nasyon yo ak tout kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou yo. Li fè kraze zidòl yo, li koupe estati Achera yo voye jete. ⁴ Li bay tout moun Jida yo lòd pou yo mache dapre volonte Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, pou yo fè tou sa ki nan lalwa ak nan kòmandman Bondye yo. ⁵ Li fè disparèt tout kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou lòt bondye yo ansanm ak lotèl pou boule lansan pou yo nan dènye lavil nan peyi Jida a. Se konsa, pandan tout rèy li, peyi a t'ap viv ak kè poze. ⁶ Pandan tout tan sa a, peyi a pa t' nan dezòd, ni li pa t' nan fè lagè ak pesonn, paske Seyè a te ba li chans viv ak kè poze. Wa a pwofite tout tan sa yo, li bati gwo ranpa pou pwoteje lavil peyi Jida yo. ⁷ Li di moun peyi Jida yo: -Annou ranfòse defans lavil yo! Annou bati miray ranpa ak fò pou pwoteje yo ak pòtay solid ak gwo ba pou fèmen yo. Peyi a nan men nou toujou, paske nou te fè volonte Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se li menm ki pwoteje nou, li fè nou viv byen san kont ak tout vwazen nou yo. Se konsa yo mete men nan travay la jouk yo fini l'. ⁸ Wa Asa te gen yon gwo lame. Nan lame a te gen twasanmil (300.000) sòlda moun branch fanmi Jida ki te gen plak pwotèj ak frenn, plis desankatreven mil (280.000) sòlda moun branch fanmi Benjamen ki te gen plak pwotèj ak banza pou voye flèch. Yo tout te vanyan sòlda. ⁹ Yon moun peyi Letiopi yo te rele Zera vin anvayi peyi Jida ak yon lame ki te gen yon milyon sòlda ansanm ak twasan (300) cha lagè. Yo vanse jouk lavil Marecha. ¹⁰ Asa soti ak lame pa l' la al kontre avè l'. De lame yo pran pozisyon nan fon Zefata a, toupre Marecha. ¹¹ Asa lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye li a, li di l' konsa: -Bondye sèl Mèt, kit w'ap ede yon gwo, kit w'ap ede yon piti, pou ou se menm bagay la. Tanpri, vin ede nou koulye a, Seyè, Bondye nou an, paske se sou ou nou konte. Se nan non ou nou vin goumen ak bann moun sa yo. Seyè, se ou menm ki Bondye nou. Fè wè pesonn pa ka kenbe tèt avè ou! ¹² Se konsa, Seyè a fè Asa ak lame peyi Jida a bat lame Letiopi a. Lame Letiopi a kouri met deyò. ¹³ Men Asa ak sòlda li yo kouri dèyè yo jouk lavil Gera. Yo touye sòlda lame Letiopi yo, yo pa kite yonn ladan yo chape. Seyè a te kraze yo tout ak lame li a. Lame a pran yon pakèt bagay lènmi yo te kite. ¹⁴ Lèfini, yo detwi tout ti bouk ki te nan zòn Gera a, paske moun la yo te pè Seyè a anpil. Lame Jida a piye lavil yo. Yo pote anpil anpil bagay ale paske moun sa yo te gen anpil byen. ¹⁵ Yo atake gadò mouton yo anba tant yo. Yo pran yon bon valè mouton ak chamo. Apre sa, yo tounen tounen yo lavil Jerizalèm.

Hungarian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Elaluvék pedig Abija az õ atyáival, és eltemeték õt a Dávid városában, s uralkodék helyette az õ fia, Asa, a kinek idejében tíz esztendeig volt békesség a földön. ² És Asa mindazt cselekedé, a mi jó és igaz vala az Úr elõtt, az õ Istene elõtt; ³ Elrontá az idegen [istenek] oltárait és a magaslatokat; a bálványokat eltöreté, és az Aserákat kivágatá; ⁴ És megparancsolá Júdának, hogy az Urat, az õ atyáik Istenét keressék, és cselekedjék [az Isten] törvényét és parancsolatját. ⁵ Kipusztítá Júda minden városaiból a magaslatokat és a nap-oszlopokat, és az ország csendes lõn alatta. ⁶ És építtetett megerõsített városokat Júdában, mivelhogy nyugodalomban volt a föld, és senki sem folytatott ellene háborút azokban az esztendõkben, mert az Úr nyugodalmat adott vala néki. ⁷ Mert ezt mondja vala Júdának: Építsük meg a városokat és vegyük körül kerítéssel, tornyokkal, kapukkal, zárokkal, míg a föld birodalmunkban van; mert megkerestük az Urat, a mi Istenünket, megkerestük és nyugodalmat adott nékünk minden felõl. Azért építének és lõn jó elõmenetelök. ⁸ Vala pedig az Asa serege, a mely paizst és kopját visel vala, Júdából háromszázezer; és Benjáminból paizst viselõk és kézívesek kétszáznyolczvanezeren valának; mindezek erõs vitézek. ⁹ És kijöve õ ellenök a szerecsen Zérah, ezerszer ezer emberrel és háromszáz szekérrel, és méne Marésáig. ¹⁰ Kiméne Asa is õ ellene, és viadalhoz készülének a Sefáta völgyben, Marésa mellett. ¹¹ Akkor kiálta Asa az Úrhoz, az õ Istenéhez, és monda: Oh Uram, nincs különbség elõtted a sok között és az erõ nélkül való között, hogy megsegítsed! Segélj meg minket, oh mi Urunk Istenünk, mert benned bízunk, és a te nevedben jöttünk e sokaság ellen! oh Uram, te vagy a mi Istenünk, ne vegyen ember te rajtad erõt. ¹² Megveré azért az Úr a szerecseneket Asa és Júda elõtt, és elfutának a szerecsenek. ¹³ És üldözé õket Asa az õ seregével Gerárig, és elhullának a szerecsenek közül sokan, hogy közülök senki sem marada életben, mert leverettek az Úr elõtt és az õ serege elõtt; és hozának nagy zsákmányt. ¹⁴ És Gérár környékén elpusztítának minden várost, mert az Úrtól való rettegés szállotta meg õket. És a városokat mind feldúlták, mivelhogy sok ragadomány vala azokban. ¹⁵ A barmok tanyáit is lerombolták, és sok juhot és tevét elhajtának, s úgy tértek vissza Jeruzsálembe.

Indonesian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Setelah Raja Abia meninggal dan dikuburkan di makam raja-raja di Kota Daud, Asa putranya menjadi raja menggantikan dia. Di bawah pemerintahan Asa, negeri Yehuda tenteram selama sepuluh tahun. ² Asa menyenangkan hati TUHAN Allahnya dengan melakukan yang adil dan baik. ³ Ia menyingkirkan mezbah-mezbah bangsa lain dan tempat-tempat penyembahan berhala. Tugu-tugu dewa dihancurkannya, dan tiang-tiang patung Dewi Asyera ditumbangkannya. ⁴ Rakyat Yehuda disuruhnya hidup menurut kehendak TUHAN, Allah leluhur mereka, dan mentaati ajaran-ajaran dan perintah-perintah-Nya. ⁵ Semua tempat penyembahan berhala dan tempat membakar dupa disingkirkannya dari kota-kota Yehuda. Maka tenanglah kerajaan itu di bawah pemerintahannya, ⁶ sehingga ia dapat membangun benteng-benteng untuk kota-kota Yehuda. Beberapa tahun lamanya tidak terjadi perang karena TUHAN memberikan keadaan damai kepadanya. ⁷ Kata Asa kepada rakyat Yehuda, "Baiklah kita memperkuat kota-kota dengan membangun tembok sekelilingnya dan menara-menara serta pintu gerbang dengan palang-palangnya. Kita telah menguasai negeri ini karena kita sudah menuruti kehendak TUHAN Allah kita. Ia memelihara kita dan menjaga keamanan di seluruh negeri kita." Maka mulailah mereka membangun dan menyelesaikan pekerjaan itu dengan baik. ⁸ Tentara Raja Asa terdiri dari 300.000 orang Yehuda yang bersenjatakan perisai dan tombak, dan 280.000 orang Benyamin yang bersenjatakan perisai, busur dan panah. Mereka semuanya prajurit yang berani-berani dan terlatih. ⁹ Pada suatu waktu seorang Sudan bernama Zerah menyerang Yehuda dengan pasukan yang terdiri dari 1.000.000 prajurit dan 300 kereta perang. Mereka maju sejauh Maresa. ¹⁰ Maka keluarlah Asa menghadapi Zerah, dan keduanya mengatur barisan masing-masing di Lembah Zefata dekat Maresa. ¹¹ Lalu Asa berdoa kepada TUHAN Allahnya, "TUHAN, hanya Engkaulah yang dapat membantu yang lemah terhadap yang kuat. Tolonglah kami sekarang, ya TUHAN Allah kami! Pada-Mulah kami bersandar dan atas nama-Mu kami keluar berperang melawan pasukan yang sangat besar ini. TUHAN, Engkaulah Allah kami. Jangan biarkan diri-Mu dikalahkan oleh seorang manusia." ¹² Lalu Asa dan tentara Yehuda menyerang tentara Sudan. TUHAN mengalahkan tentara Sudan sehingga mereka melarikan diri. ¹³ Asa dan tentaranya mengejar mereka sampai sejauh Gerar. Di pihak Sudan banyak sekali yang tewas sehingga tentara mereka tidak berdaya karena dihancurkan oleh TUHAN dan tentara Yehuda yang juga merampas banyak sekali dari barang-barang mereka. Kemudian tentara Yehuda menghancurkan kota-kota di wilayah sekitar Gerar, karena TUHAN membuat penduduknya menjadi ketakutan. Tentara Yehuda merampasi semua kota itu dan mendapat banyak sekali barang. ¹⁴ (14:13) ¹⁵ Mereka juga menyerang perkemahan para peternak, dan mengangkut banyak domba dan unta. Setelah itu mereka kembali ke Yerusalem.

Italian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ED Abia giacque co’ suoi padri, e fu seppellito nella Città di Davide; ed Asa, suo figliuolo, regnò in luogo suo. Al suo tempo il paese ebbe riposo lo spazio di dieci anni. ² Ed Asa fece ciò che piace ed è grato al Signore Iddio suo. ³ E tolse via gli altari, e gli alti luoghi degli stranieri, e spezzò le statue, e tagliò i boschi; ⁴ e comandò a Giuda di ricercare il Signore Iddio dei suoi padri, e di mettere ad effetto la sua Legge ed i suoi comandamenti. ⁵ Tolse eziandio via, da tutte le città di Giuda, gli alti luoghi ed i simulacri; e il regno ebbe riposo mentre egli visse. ⁶ Ed egli edificò delle città di fortezza in Giuda; perciocchè il paese era in riposo; e in quel tempo non vi fu alcuna guerra contro a lui; perciocchè il Signore gli avea dato riposo. ⁷ Laonde egli disse a Giuda: Edifichiamo queste città, ed intorniamole di mura, e di torri, e di porte, e di sbarre, mentre siamo padroni del paese; perciocchè noi abbiamo ricercato il Signore Iddio nostro; ed avendolo ricercato, egli ci ha dato riposo d’ogn’intorno. Così le edificarono, e prosperarono. ⁸ Or Asa avea un esercito di trecentomila uomini di Giuda, che portavano scudo e lancia; e di dugentotrentamila di Beniamino, che portavano scudo e tiravano con l’arco; tutti uomini di valore. ⁹ E Zera Etiopo uscì, contro a loro con un esercito di mille migliaia d’uomini, e di trecento carri; e venne fino in Maresa. ¹⁰ Ed Asa uscì incontro a lui; ed essi ordinarono la battaglia nella valle di Sefata, presso di Maresa. ¹¹ Allora Asa gridò al Signore Iddio suo, e disse: O Signore, appo te non vi è alcuna differenza di aiutare, così chi non ha forze alcune, come chi ne ha di grandi; soccorrici, o Signore Iddio nostro; perciocchè noi ci siamo appoggiati sopra te, e nel tuo Nome siamo venuti contro a questa moltitudine; tu sei il Signore Iddio nostro; non lasciare che l’uomo prevalga contro a te. ¹² Ed il Signore sconfisse gli Etiopi davanti ad Asa, e davanti a Giuda; e gli Etiopi fuggirono. ¹³ Ed Asa, e la gente ch’era con lui, li perseguitarono fino in Gherar; e morirono tanti Etiopi ch’essi non si poterono più ristorare; perciocchè furono rotti dal Signore, e dal suo esercito; e ne furono portate spoglie in grandissima quantità. ¹⁴ Percossero anche tutte le città ch’erano d’intorno a Gherar; perciocchè lo spavento del Signore era sopra loro; e predarono tutte quelle città; perciocchè vi era dentro una grande preda. ¹⁵ Percossero ancora le tende delle mandre, e ne menarono pecore, e cammelli, in gran numero. Poi se ne tornarono in Gerusalemme.

ItalianRiveduta⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ (H13-23) E Abija s’addormentò coi suoi padri, e fu sepolto nella città di Davide; e Asa, suo figliuolo, regnò in luogo suo; e al suo tempo il paese ebbe requie per dieci anni. ² (H14-1) Asa fece ciò ch’è buono e retto agli occhi dell’Eterno, del suo Dio. ³ (H14-2) Tolse via gli altari degli dèi stranieri, e gli alti luoghi; spezzò le statue, abbatté gl’idoli d’Astarte; ⁴ (H14-3) e ordinò a Giuda di cercare l’Eterno, l’Iddio de’ suoi padri, e di mettere ad effetto la sua legge ed i suoi comandamenti. ⁵ (H14-4) Tolse anche via da tutte le città di Giuda gli alti luoghi e le colonne solari; e, sotto di lui, il regno ebbe requie. ⁶ (H14-5) Egli costruì delle città fortificate in Giuda, giacché il paese era tranquillo, e in quegli anni non v’era alcuna guerra contro di lui, perché l’Eterno gli avea data requie. ⁷ (H14-6) Egli diceva a quei di Giuda: "Costruiamo queste città, e circondiamole di mura, di torri, di porte e di sbarre; il paese è ancora a nostra disposizione, perché abbiamo cercato l’Eterno, il nostro Dio; noi l’abbiamo cercato, ed egli ci ha dato riposo d’ogni intorno". Essi dunque si misero a costruire, e prosperarono. ⁸ (H14-7) Asa aveva un esercito di trecentomila uomini di Giuda che portavano scudo e lancia, e di duecento ottantamila di Beniamino che portavano scudo e tiravan d’arco, tutti uomini forti e valorosi. ⁹ (H14-8) Zerah, l’Etiopo, uscì contro di loro con un esercito d’un milione d’uomini e trecento carri, e si avanzò fino a Maresha. ¹⁰ (H14-9) Asa gli mosse contro, e si disposero in ordine di battaglia nella valle di Tsefatha presso Maresha. ¹¹ (H14-10) Allora Asa invocò l’Eterno, il suo Dio, disse: "O Eterno, per te non v’è differenza tra il dar soccorso a chi è in gran numero, e il darlo a chi è senza forza; soccorrici, o Eterno, o nostro Dio! poiché su te noi ci appoggiamo, e nel tuo nome siam venuti contro questa moltitudine. Tu sei l’Eterno, il nostro Dio; non la vinca l’uomo a petto di te!" ¹² (H14-11) E l’Eterno sconfisse gli Etiopi davanti ad Asa e davanti a Giuda, e gli Etiopi si diedero alla fuga. ¹³ (H14-12) Ed Asa e la gente ch’era con lui li inseguirono fino a Gherar; e degli Etiopi ne caddero tanti, che non ne rimase più uno di vivo; poiché furono rotti davanti all’Eterno e davanti al suo esercito. E Asa ed i suoi portaron via un immenso bottino; ¹⁴ (H14-13) e batteron tutte le città nei dintorni di Gherar, perché lo spavento dell’Eterno s’era impadronito d’esse; e quelli saccheggiarono tutte le città; perché v’era molto bottino; ¹⁵ (H14-14) fecero pure man bassa sui chiusi delle mandre, e menaron via gran numero di pecore e di cammelli. Poi tornarono a Gerusalemme.

Lithuanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Abija užmigo prie savo tėvų ir jį palaidojo Dovydo mieste. Jo sūnus Asa karaliavo jo vietoje. Jo dienomis krašte buvo ramu dešimt metų. ² Asa darė tai, kas gera ir teisinga Viešpaties, jo Dievo, akyse. ³ Jis pašalino svetimų dievų aukurus aukštumose, sudaužė atvaizdus, iškirto giraites ⁴ ir įsakė Judo žmonėms ieškoti Viešpaties, jų tėvų Dievo, ir vykdyti Jo įstatymus bei įsakymus. ⁵ Jis pašalino visuose Judo miestuose aukštumas ir atvaizdus, ir jam valdant buvo ramu. ⁶ Jis statė sutvirtintus miestus Jude, nes kraštas ilsėjosi, ir su niekuo nekariavo tais metais, kadangi Viešpats suteikė jam poilsį. ⁷ Asa kalbėjo Judui: “Pastatykime šiuos miestus, aptverkime juos sienomis su bokštais, vartais ir skląsčiais, nes kraštas priklauso mums. Kadangi mes ieškojome Viešpaties, mūsų Dievo, Jis suteikė mums ramybę iš visų pusių”. Jie statė, ir jiems sekėsi. ⁸ Asos kariuomenėje buvo trys šimtai tūkstančių Judo vyrų, ginkluotų skydais ir ietimis, ir du šimtai aštuoniasdešimt tūkstančių Benjamino vyrų, ginkluotų skydais ir lankais. Jie visi buvo narsūs kariai. ⁹ Prieš juos išėjo etiopas Zerachas su tūkstančiu tūkstančių kareivių, trimis šimtais kovos vežimų ir pasiekė Marešą. ¹⁰ Asa išėjo prieš jį ir išsirikiavo kautynėms Cefatos slėnyje prie Marešos. ¹¹ Asa šaukėsi Viešpaties, savo Dievo: “Viešpatie, Tu gali padėti ir galingam, ir bejėgiui. Padėk mums, Viešpatie, mūsų Dieve, nes mes šliejamės prie Tavęs ir Tavo vardu einame prieš šitą daugybę! Viešpatie, Tu esi mūsų Dievas, tenenugali Tavęs žmogus”. ¹² Viešpats sumušė etiopus priešais Asą ir Judą, ir etiopai bėgo. ¹³ Asa su žmonėmis juos vijosi iki Gerara. Etiopai buvo nugalėti ir nebeatsigavo. Jie buvo sumušti Viešpaties ir Jo kariuomenės. Asos kariai paėmė labai daug grobio. ¹⁴ Jie užėmė visus miestus Geraros apylinkėje, nes juos buvo apėmusi Viešpaties baimė. Iš visų miestų jie išsigabeno daug grobio. ¹⁵ Be to, jie sugriovė gyvulių pastoges ir, išsivarę daugybę avių bei kupranugarių, sugrįžo į Jeruzalę.

PBG⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ A gdy zasnął Abijasz z ojcami swymi, a pochowano go w mieście Dawidowem, tedy królował Aza, syn jego, miasto niego. Za dni jego była w pokoju ziemia, przez dziesięć lat. ² I czynił Aza co było dobrego, i przyjemnego w oczach Pana, Boga swego. ³ Bo poburzył ołtarze obce, i wyżyny, i podruzgotał bałwany ich, i wyrąbał gaje ich; ⁴ A przykazał Judzie, aby szukali Pana, Boga ojców swych, i przestrzegali zakonu i przykazań jego. ⁵ Zniósł też ze wszystkich miast Judzkich wyżyny, i słoneczne bałwany, a było w pokoju królestwo za czasu jego. ⁶ Nadto pobudował miasta obronne w Judzie, przeto, iż była w pokoju ziemia i nie powstała wojna przeciwko niemu za onych lat; bo mu dał Pan odpocznienie. ⁷ I rzekł do Judy: Pobudujmy te miasta, i otoczmy je murem i wieżami, bramami, i zaworami, póki ziemia jest w mocy naszej; bośmy szukali Pana, Boga naszego; szukaliśmy go, i sprawił nam odpocznienie zewsząd. Przetoż budowali, a szczęściło się im. ⁸ I miał Aza wojsko noszących tarcz i drzewce: z Judy trzykroć sto tysięcy, a z Benjamina noszących puklerz i ciągnących łuk dwa kroć sto tysięcy i ośmdziesiąt tysięcy. Ci wszyscy byli bardzo mężni. ⁹ Tedy wyciągnął przeciw nim Zara Etyjopczyk, mając wojska dziesięć kroć sto tysięcy, a wozów trzy sta, i przyciągnął aż do Maresy. ¹⁰ Wyciągnął też i Aza przeciw niemu, i uszykowali wojska w dolinie Sefata u Maresy. ¹¹ Tedy zawołał Aza do Pana, Boga swego, i rzekł: O Panie! ty nie potrzebujesz wielu, abyś ratował tego, który nie ma potęgi. Ratujże nas, o Panie, Boże nasz! gdyż na tobie spolegamy, a w imię twoje idziemy przeciwko temu mnóstwu. Tyś Pan, Bóg nasz; niech nie ma góry nad tobą człowiek śmiertelny. ¹² A tak poraził Pan Etyjopczyków przed Azą i przed Judą, tak iż uciekli Etyjopczycy. ¹³ A gonił ich Aza i lud, który był z nim, aż do Gierary. I polegli Etyjopczycy, tak, że nie mogli wskórać: bo starci są przed obliczem Pańskiem i przed wojskiem jego. I nabrali łupów bardzo wiele. ¹⁴ Nadto poburzyli wszystkie miasta około Gierary; albowiem przypadł strach Pański na nich, i splundrowali one wszystkie miasta; bo w nich była wielka korzyść. ¹⁵ Także i obory trzód poburzyli; a zająwszy owiec i wielbłądów bardzo wiele, wrócili się do Jeruzalemu.

Portuguese⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Abias dormiu com seus pais, e o sepultaram na cidade de David. E Asa, seu filho, reinou em seu lugar; nos seus dias a terra esteve em paz por dez anos. ² E Asa fez o que era bom e recto aos olhos do Senhor seu Deus; ³ removeu os altares estranhos, e os altos, quebrou as colunas, cortou os aserins, ⁴ e mandou a Judá que buscasse ao Senhor, Deus de seus pais, e que observasse a lei e o mandamento. ⁵ Também removeu de todas as cidades de Judá os altos e os altares de incenso; e sob ele o reino esteve em paz. ⁶ Edificou cidades fortificadas em Judá; porque a terra estava em paz, e não havia guerra contra ele naqueles anos, porquanto o Senhor lhe dera repouso. ⁷ Disse, pois, a Judá: Edifiquemos estas cidades, e cerquemo-las de muros e torres, portas e ferrolhos; a terra ainda é nossa porque buscamos ao Senhor nosso Deus; nós o buscamos, e ele nos deu repouso de todos os lados. Edificaram, pois, e prosperaram. ⁸ Ora, tinha Asa um exército de trezentos mil homens de Judá, que traziam pavês e lança; e duzentos e oitenta mil de Benjamim, que traziam escudo e atiravam com arco; todos estes eram homens valentes. ⁹ E Zera, o etíope, saiu contra eles, com um exército de um milhão de homens, e trezentos carros, e chegou até Maressa. ¹⁰ Então Asa saiu contra ele, e ordenaram a batalha no vale de Cefat, junto a Maressa. ¹¹ E Asa clamou ao Senhor seu Deus, dizendo: Ó Senhor, nada para ti é ajudar, quer o poderoso quer o de nenhuma força. Acuda-nos, pois, o Senhor nosso Deus, porque em ti confiamos, e no teu nome viemos contra esta multidão. Ó Senhor, tu és nosso Deus, não prevaleça contra ti o homem. ¹² E o Senhor desbaratou os etíopes diante de Asa e diante de Judá; e os etíopes fugiram. ¹³ Asa e o povo que estava com ele os perseguiram até Gerar; e caíram tantos dos etíopes que já não havia neles resistência alguma; porque foram quebrantados diante do Senhor, e diante do seu exército. Os homens de Judá levaram dali mui grande despojo. ¹⁴ Feriram todas as cidades nos arredores de Gerar, porque veio sobre elas o terror da parte do Senhor; e saquearam todas as cidades, pois havia nelas muito despojo. ¹⁵ Também feriram as malhadas do gado, e levaram ovelhas em abundância, e camelos, e voltaram para Jerusalém.

Norwegian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Og Abia la sig til hvile hos sine fedre og blev begravet i Davids stad, og hans sønn Asa blev konge i hans sted. I hans dager hadde landet ro i ti år. ² Asa gjorde hvad godt og rett var i Herrens, hans Guds øine. ³ Han fikk bort de fremmede guders altere og offerhaugene og sønderbrøt støttene og hugg Astartebilledene i stykker. ⁴ Og han bød Juda å søke Herren, deres fedres Gud, og holde loven og budene. ⁵ I alle Judas byer fikk han bort offerhaugene og solstøttene, og riket hadde ro under ham. ⁶ Han bygget festninger i Juda; for landet hadde ro, og ingen førte krig mot ham i de år, fordi Herren gav ham ro. ⁷ Han sa til Juda: La oss bygge disse byer og reise murer og tårner, porter og bommer omkring dem! Ennu råder vi fritt over landet, fordi vi har søkt Herren vår Gud; vi har søkt ham, og han har gitt oss ro på alle kanter. Så tok de til å bygge, og det lyktes for dem. ⁸ Asas hær var tre hundre tusen mann av Juda, som var væbnet med spyd og store skjold, og to hundre og åtti tusen av Benjamin, som bar små skjold og skjøt med bue; de var alle djerve stridsmenn. ⁹ Men etioperen Serah drog ut imot dem med en hær på tusen ganger tusen mann og tre hundre stridsvogner, og han kom til Maresa. ¹⁰ Og Asa drog ut imot ham, og de stilte sig i fylking i Sefata-dalen ved Maresa. ¹¹ Da ropte Asa til Herren sin Gud og sa: Herre, for dig gjør det ingen forskjell, enten du hjelper den mektige eller den maktesløse. Hjelp oss, Herre vår Gud! Til dig setter vi vår lit, og i ditt navn er vi gått mot denne store mengde. Herre, du er vår Gud; la ikke et menneske stå sig imot dig! ¹² Da lot Herren etioperne bli slått av Asa og Juda, og etioperne flyktet. ¹³ Asa og hans folk forfulgte dem like til Gerar, og av etioperne falt det så mange at ingen av dem blev i live; de blev knust av Herren og hans hær. Og de førte et umåtelig stort hærfang bort med sig. ¹⁴ Og de inntok alle byene rundt omkring Gerar, for frykt for Herren var kommet over dem, og de plyndret alle byene, for det var meget å plyndre i dem. ¹⁵ Endog teltene for buskapen tok de, og de førte bort en mengde med småfe og kameler, og så vendte de tilbake til Jerusalem.

Romanian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Abia a adormit cu părinţii lui, şi a fost îngropat în cetatea lui David. Şi, în locul lui, a domnit fiul său Asa. Pe vremea lui, ţara a avut odihnă zece ani. ² Asa a făcut ce este bine şi plăcut înaintea Domnului, Dumnezeului său. ³ A îndepărtat altarele dumnezeilor străini şi înălţimile, a sfărîmat stîlpii idoleşti şi a tăiat Astarteele. ⁴ A poruncit lui Iuda să caute pe Domnul, Dumnezeul părinţilor săi, şi să împlinească legea şi poruncile. ⁵ A îndepărtat din toate cetăţile lui Iuda înălţimile şi stîlpii închinaţi soarelui. Şi împărăţia a avut pace supt el. ⁶ A zidit cetăţi întărite în Iuda; căci ţara a fost liniştită, şi împotriva lui n'a fost război în anii aceia, pentrucă Domnul i -a dat odihnă. ⁷ El a zis lui Iuda:,,Să zidim aceste cetăţi, şi să le înconjurăm cu ziduri, cu turnuri, cu porţi şi cu zăvoare; ţara este încă a noastră, căci am căutat pe Domnul, Dumnezeul nostru. L-am căutat, şi El ne -a dat odihnă de toate părţile.`` Au zidit dar, şi au izbutit. ⁸ Asa avea o oştire de trei sute de mii de oameni din Iuda, cari purtau scut şi suliţă, şi două sute optzeci de mii din Beniamin, cari purtau scut şi trăgeau cu arcul, toţi oameni viteji. ⁹ Zerah, Etiopianul, a ieşit împotriva lor cu o oştire de un milion de oameni şi trei sute de cară, şi a înaintat pînă la Mareşa. ¹⁰ Asa a mers înaintea lui, şi s'au înşiruit de bătaie în valea Ţefata, lîngă Mareşa. ¹¹ Asa a chemat pe Domnul, Dumnezeul lui, şi a zis:,,Doamne, numai Tu poţi veni în ajutor celui slab ca şi celui tare: vino în ajutorul nostru, Doamne Dumnezeul nostru! Căci pe Tine ne sprijinim, şi în Numele Tău am venit împotriva acestei mulţimi. Doamne, Tu eşti Dumnezeul nostru: să nu iasă biruitor omul împotriva Ta!`` ¹² Domnul a lovit pe Etiopieni dinaintea lui Asa şi dinaintea lui Iuda, şi Etiopienii au luat -o la fugă. ¹³ Asa şi poporul care era cu el i -a urmărit pînă la Gherar, şi Etiopienii au căzut fără să-şi poată scăpa viaţa, căci au fost nimiciţi de Domnul şi de oştirea Lui. Asa şi poporul lui au făcut o pradă mare; ¹⁴ au bătut toate cetăţile din împrejurimile Gherarului, căci groaza Domnului căzuse peste ele, şi au jăfuit toate cetăţile, a căror pradă era mare. ¹⁵ Au lovit şi corturile turmelor, şi au luat cu ei o mare mulţime de oi şi de cămile. Apoi s'au întors la Ierusalim.

Ukrainian⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ І робив Аса добре та вгодне в очах Господа, Бога свого. ² І повсував він жертівники чужих богів та пагірки, і порозбивав камінні стовпи для божків, і постинав святі дерева. ³ І наказав він Юді звертатися до Господа, Бога батьків своїх, і виконувати Його Закона та заповідь. ⁴ І повсував він зо всіх Юдиних міст пагірки та подоби сонця. І заспокоїлося царство при ньому. ⁵ І побудував він твердинні міста в Юді, бо заспокоївся Край, і не було на нього війни за тих років, бо Господь дав йому мир. ⁶ І сказав він до Юди: Побудуймо ці міста, й оточімо муром та баштами, ворітьми та засувами. Іще він, цей Край, наш, бо зверталися ми до Господа, нашого Бога. Зверталися ми, і Він дав нам мир навколо. І побудували, і їм щастило. ⁷ І було в Аси війська: носіїв великих щитів та ратищ з Юди три сотні тисяч, а з Веніямина таких, що носять малого щита, та лучників двісті й вісімдесят тисяч. Усі вони хоробрі вояки. ⁸ І вийшов на них кушеянин Зерах із військом у тисячу тисяч та з трьома сотнями колесниць, і прибув аж до Мареші. ⁹ І вийшов Аса проти нього, і вони вставилися до бою в долині Цефат при Мареші. ¹⁰ І кликнув Аса до Господа. Бога свого, та й сказав: Господи, нема кому, крім Тебе, допомогти численному або безсилому. Допоможи нам, Господи, Боже наш, бо ми на Тебе опираємося, і в Ім'я Твоє ми прийшли на цю безліч. Господи, Ти Бог наш, нехай людина не має сили проти Тебе! ¹¹ І побив Господь кушеян перед Асою та перед Юдою, і кушеяни повтікали. ¹² І гнав їх Аса та народ, що був з ним, аж до Ґерару. І попадало з кушеян багато, так що ніхто з них не залишився живий, бо вони були поторощені перед Господнім лицем та перед табором Його. І понесли вони дуже багато здобичі. ¹³ І побили вони всі міста навколо Ґерару, бо Господній страх був на них. І пограбували вони всі ті міста, бо в них було багато здобичі. ¹⁴ Порозбивали вони також намети чередників, і зайняли дуже багато дрібної худоби та верблюдів, та й вернулися до Єрусалиму. ¹⁵
