Baibala Hemolele (Hawaiian Bible, 1868 revision)
1So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days, the land was quiet ten years.
1A HIAMOE o Abiia me kona mau kupuna, a kanu lakou ia ia ma ke kulanakauhale o Davida; a noho alii iho la o Asa, kana keiki mahope ona. I kona mau la, ua maluhia ka aina i na makahiki he umi.
2Asa did that which was good and right in the LORD his God’s eyes,
2Hana iho la o Asa i ka maikai a me ka pololei, imua o Iehova kona Akua.
3for he took away the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles,
3Lawe aku la oia i na kuahu o na akua e, a me na wahi kiekie, wawahi iho la oia i na kii, kulai no hoi i na kii o Asetarota.
4and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to obey his law and command.
4A kauoha ae la oia i ka Iuda e imi ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou kupuna, a e malama i kona kanawai, a me kana kauoha.
5Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.
5Lawe aku la ia mailoko aku o na kulanakauhale a pau o Iuda, i na wahi kiekie, a me na kii; a maluhia iho la ke aupuni imua ona.
6He 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.
6A kukulu iho la ia i na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa ma Iuda; no ka mea, ua maluhia ka aina, aohe ona kaua i kela mau makahiki, no ka mea, hoomalu mai o Iehova ia ia.
7For he said to Judah, “Let’s build these cities and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, 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.
7Olelo aku la oia i ka Iuda, Ina kakou, e kukulu kakou i keia mau kulanakauhale, e hana a puni i na pa, a me na halekiai, a me na ipuka, a me na mea e paa ai, oiai ka aina ia kakou; no ka mea, ua imi kakou ia Iehova, i ko kakou Akua, ua imi no kakou, a ua hoomalu mai ia ia kakou a puni: a kukulu ae la lakou me ka pomaikai.
8Asa had an army of three hundred thousand out of Judah who bore bucklers and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin who bore shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.
8Aia ia Asa he poe koa, he poe lawe palekaua a me na ihe, noloko mai o Iuda ekolu haneri tausani; a noloko mai o Beniamina, he poe lawe i na aahuapoo, a he poe lena i na kakaka, elua haneri a me kanawalu tausani; he poe koa ikaika keia poe a pau loa.
9Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million troops and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
9A hele mai io lakou la o Zera no Aitiopa mai me ka poe koa, hookahi tausani tausani, a me na kaa kaua ekolu haneri, a hiki mai lakou i Maresa.
10Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
10A hele ku e o Asa ia ia, a hoonohonoho i ke kaua ma ke awawa o Zepata ma Maresa.
11Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has 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. Don’t let man prevail against you.”
11A kahea aku la o Asa ia Iehova, i kona Akua, i aku la, E Iehova, ua like wale no ia oe ke kokua mamuli o ka poe lehulehu, a mamuli hoi o ka poe ikaika ole: e kokua mai ia makou, e Iehova ko makou Akua; no ka mea, ke hilinai aku nei makou ia oe, a ma kou inoa makou e hele ku e aku ai i keia poe lehulehu. E Iehova, o oe no ko makou Akua; mai noho oe a lanakila ke kanaka maluna ou.
12So the LORD struck the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
12Alaila, luku mai la o Iehova i ko Aitiopa imua o Asa, a imua o ka Iuda; a auhee aku la ko Aitiopa.
13Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So many of the Ethiopians fell that they could not recover themselves, for they were destroyed before the LORD and before his army. Judah’s army carried away very much booty.
13Alualu aku la o Asa a me na kanaka me ia a hiki i Gerara; haule ko Aitiopa, aole i hiki ia lakou ke ola; no ka mea, ua lukuia lakou imua o Iehova, a imua o kona poe koa, a ua lawe lakou i ka waiwai pio he nui loa.
14They struck all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the LORD came on them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.
14A luku lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau a puni o Gerara, no ka mea, maluna o lakou ka makau ia Iehova; a hoopio lakou i na kulanakauhale a pau; a he nui loa ka waiwai pio iloko olaila.
15They also struck the tents of those who had livestock, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, then returned to Jerusalem.
15A luku lakou i na halelewa o na holoholona, a lawe aku la lakou i na hipa a me na kamelo he nui loa, a hoi lakou i Ierusalema.
