II Chronicles 14

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.

Και εκοιμηθη ο Αβια μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εθαψαν αυτον εν πολει Δαβιδ εβασιλευσε δε αντ αυτου Ασα ο υιος αυτου. Εν ταις ημεραις αυτου η γη ησυχασε δεκα ετη.

And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:

Και εκαμεν ο Ασα το καλον και το ευθες ενωπιον Κυριου του Θεου αυτου

For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:

διοτι αφηρεσε τα θυσιαστηρια των αλλοτριων θεων και τους υψηλους τοπους, και κατεσυντριψε τα αγαλματα και κατεκοψε τα αλση

And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

και ειπε προς τον Ιουδαν να εκζητωσι Κυριον τον Θεον των πατερων αυτων και να καμνωσι τον νομον και τας εντολας.

Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

Αφηρεσεν ετι απο πασων των πολεων του Ιουδα τους υψηλους τοπους και τα ειδωλα και ησυχασε το βασιλειον ενωπιον αυτου.

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.

Και ωκοδομησε πολεις οχυρας εν τω Ιουδα διοτι ησυχασεν η γη, και δεν ητο εις αυτον πολεμος εν εκεινοις τοις χρονοις, επειδη ο Κυριος εδωκεν εις αυτον αναπαυσιν.

Therefore 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.

Δια τουτο ειπε προς τον Ιουδαν, Ας οικοδομησωμεν τας πολεις ταυτας, και ας καμωμεν περι αυτας τειχη και πυργους, πυλας και μοχλους, ενω ειμεθα κυριοι της γης, επειδη εξεζητησαμεν Κυριον τον Θεον ημων εξεζητησαμεν αυτον, και εδωκεν εις ημας αναπαυσιν κυκλοθεν. Και ωκοδομησαν και ευωδωθησαν.

And 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.

Ειχε δε ο Ασα στρατευμα εκ του Ιουδα τριακοσιας χιλιαδας, φεροντας θυρεους και λογχας εκ δε του Βενιαμιν, διακοσιας ογδοηκοντα χιλιαδας, ασπιδοφορους και τοξοτας παντες ουτοι ησαν δυνατοι εν ισχυι.

And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.

Εξηλθε δε εναντιον αυτων Ζερα ο Αιθιοψ, με στρατευμα εκατον μυριαδων και με τριακοσιας αμαξας, και ηλθεν εως Μαρησα.

Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

Και εξηλθεν ο Ασα εναντιον αυτου, και παρεταχθησαν εις μαχην εν τη φαραγγι Σεφαθα, πλησιον της Μαρησα.

And 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.

Και εβοησεν ο Ασα προς Κυριον τον Θεον αυτου και ειπε, Κυριε, δεν ειναι ουδεν παρα σοι να βοηθης τους εχοντας πολλην η μηδεμιαν δυναμιν βοηθησον ημας, Κυριε Θεε ημων διοτι επι σε πεποιθαμεν, και εν τω ονοματι σου ερχομεθα εναντιον του πληθους τουτου. Κυριε, συ εισαι ο Θεος ημων ας μη υπερισχυση ανθρωπος εναντιον σου.

So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

Και επαταξεν ο Κυριος τους Αιθιοπας εμπροσθεν του Ασα και εμπροσθεν του Ιουδα και οι Αιθιοπες εφυγον.

And 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.

Ο δε Ασα και ο λαος ο μετ αυτου κατεδιωξαν αυτους εως Γεραρων και επεσον εκ των Αιθιοπων τοσουτοι, ωστε δεν ηδυναντο να αναλαβωσι πλεον διοτι συνετριβησαν εμπροσθεν του Κυριου και εμπροσθεν του στρατευματος αυτου και ελαβον λαφυρα πολλα σφοδρα.

And 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.

Και επαταξαν πασας τας πολεις κυκλω των Γεραρων διοτι ο φοβος του Κυριου επεπεσεν επ αυτους και ελαφυραγωγησαν πασας τας πολεις διοτι ησαν εν αυταις λαφυρα πολλα.

They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.

Επαταξαν δε και τας επαυλεις των ποιμνιων και ελαβον προβατα πολλα και καμηλους, και επεστρεψαν εις Ιερουσαλημ.
