King James Version with Apocrypha
1Pea naʻe mohe ʻa ʻApisa mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea naʻa nau tanu ia ʻi he kolo ʻa Tevita: pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko ʻAsa. Naʻe melino pe ʻae fonua ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho ʻoʻona ʻi ha taʻu ʻe hongofulu.
1So 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.
2Pea naʻe fai ʻe ʻAsa ʻaia naʻe lelei ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua:
2And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
3He naʻa ne fetuku ʻo ʻave ke mamaʻo ʻae ngaahi feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua kehe, mo e ngaahi potu māʻolunga: ʻo ne fesiʻi hifo ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakatātā, pea ne tā hifo ʻae ngaahi vao tapu:
3For he took away the altars of the strange gods , and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
4Pea naʻa ne fekau ki Siuta ke kumi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai, pea ke fai ki he fono mo e fekau.
4And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
5Pea naʻa ne liʻaki foki mei he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo e ngaahi meʻa fakatātā: pea naʻe anga fakamelino pe ʻae puleʻanga ʻi hono ʻao.
5Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
6¶ Pea naʻe langa ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi kolotau ʻi Siuta: he naʻe anga fakamelino pe ʻae fonua, pea naʻe ʻikai ha tau kiate ia ʻi he ngaahi taʻu ko ia: koeʻuhi naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova ʻae fiemālie kiate ia.
6¶ And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.
7Ko ia naʻe pehē ai ʻe ia ki Siuta, “Ke tau langa ʻae ngaahi kolo ni maʻatautolu, pea langa ki ai ʻae ngaahi ā, mo e ngaahi fale māʻolunga, mo e ngaahi matapā, mo e ngaahi ʻakau fakalava, ʻi he kei ʻi hotau ʻao ʻae fonua: ko e meʻa ʻi heʻetau kumi ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua, naʻa tau kumi ia, pea kuo ne tuku ʻae fiemālie kiate kitautolu ʻi he potu kotoa pē.” Ko ia naʻa nau langa pea monūʻia.
7Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars, while 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.
8Pea naʻe ʻia ʻAsa ʻae kau tangata tau, naʻe fua ʻae ngaahi pā mo e ngaahi tao, ko e toko tolu afe mei Siuta: pea ko e toko ua kilu mo e toko valu mano meia Penisimani naʻe fua pā pea teke ʻae kaufana: ko e kau tangata toʻa mo mālohi ʻakinautolu ni kotoa pē.
8And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.
9¶ Pea naʻe haʻu ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu ʻa Sela ko e tangata ʻItiopea mo e fuʻu tau ko e taha miliona, mo e saliote ʻe tolungeau: pea naʻa nau hoko ki Malesa.
9¶ And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.
10Pea naʻe toki ʻalu kituaʻā ʻa ʻAsa ko hono tali, pea naʻa nau teuteu ke fai ʻae tau ʻi he potu talalo ʻo Sefata ʻi Malesa.
10Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11Pea naʻe tangi ʻa ʻAsa kia Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE Sihova, ko e meʻa noa pe kiate koe ke tokoni, ki he tokolahi, pe kiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻikai hanau mālohi: ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ke ke tokoni kiate kimautolu: he ʻoku mau falala kiate koe, pea ʻi ho huafa ʻoku mau ʻalu atu ki he fuʻu kakai ni. ʻE Sihova, ko koe pe ko homau ʻOtua ʻoua naʻa mālohi ʻae tangata kiate koe.”
11And Asa cried unto 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. O LORD , thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.
12Ko ia naʻe taaʻi ʻe Sihova ʻae kakai ʻItiopea ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻAsa, mo e ʻao ʻo Siuta pea naʻe hola ʻae kakai ʻItiopea.
12So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
13Pea naʻe tuli ʻakinautolu ʻe ʻAsa mo e kakai naʻe ʻiate ia ʻo aʻu ki Kela: pea ʻi he maveuveu ʻae kakai ʻItiopea, naʻe ʻikai te nau mafai ke toe fakahaofi ʻakinautolu he naʻe fakaʻauha ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova pea ʻi he ʻao ʻo ʻene tau: pea naʻa nau fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae vete lahi.
13And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD , and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
14Pea naʻa nau teʻia ʻae ngaahi kolo kotoa pē naʻe tuʻu takatakai ʻi Kela: he naʻe tō ʻae manavahē kia Sihova kiate kinautolu: pea naʻa nau maumau ʻae ngaahi kolo kotoa pē: he naʻe lahi ʻaupito ʻae koloa ʻi ai.
14And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.
15Pea naʻa nau teʻia foki ʻae ngaahi fale ʻoe fanga manu lalahi: pea naʻe fetuku ʻo ʻave ʻae fanga sipi mo e fanga kāmeli ke lahi ʻaupito ʻonau liu mai ki Selūsalema.
15They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
