| [1]So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. |
[1]Dormivit autem Abia cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum in civitate David: regnavitque Asa filius ejus pro eo, in cujus diebus quievit terra annis decem. |
| [2]And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God: |
[2]Fecit autem Asa quod bonum et placitum erat in conspectu Dei sui, et subvertit altaria peregrini cultus, et excelsa. |
| [3]For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and broke down the images, and cut down the groves: |
[3]Et confregit statuas, lucosque succidit: |
| [4]And commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. |
[4]et præcepit Judæ ut quæreret Dominum Deum patrum suorum, et faceret legem, et universa mandata: |
| [5]Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the images: and the kingdom was quiet before him. |
[5]et abstulit de cunctis urbibus Juda aras, et fana, et regnavit in pace. |
| [6]And he built fortified cities in Judah: for the land had rest, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest. |
[6]Ædificavit quoque urbes munitas in Juda, quia quietus erat, et nulla temporibus ejus bella surrexerant, pacem Domino largiente. |
| [7]Therefore he said to 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. |
[7]Dixit autem Judæ: Ædificemus civitates istas, et vallemus muris, et roboremus turribus, et portis, et seris, donec a bellis quieta sunt omnia, eo quod quæsierimus Dominum Deum patrum nostrorum, et dederit nobis pacem per gyrum. Ædificaverunt igitur, et nullum in exstruendo impedimentum fuit. |
| [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. |
[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]And there came out against them Zerah the Cushite, with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah. |
[9]Egressus est autem contra eos Zara Æthiops cum exercitu suo, decies centena millia, et curribus trecentis: et venit usque Maresa. |
| [10]Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathath at Mareshah. |
[10]Porro Asa perrexit obviam ei, et instruxit aciem ad bellum in valle Sephata, quæ est juxta Maresa: |
| [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. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee. |
[11]et invocavit Dominum Deum, et ait: Domine, non est apud te ulla distantia, utrum in paucis auxilieris, an in pluribus. Adjuva nos, Domine Deus noster: in te enim, et in tuo nomine habentes fiduciam venimus contra hanc multitudinem. Domine, Deus noster tu es: non prævaleat contra te homo. |
| [12]So the LORD smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites fled. |
[12]Exterruit itaque Dominus Æthiopes coram Asa et Juda: fugeruntque Æthiopes. |
| [13]And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerar: and the Cushites 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. |
[13]Et persecutus est eos Asa, et populus, qui cum eo erat, usque Gerara: et ruerunt Æthiopes usque ad internecionem, quia Domino cædente contriti sunt, et exercitu illius præliante. Tulerunt ergo spolia multa, |
| [14]And they smote all the cities about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them. |
[14]et percusserunt civitates omnes per circuitum Geraræ: grandis quippe cunctos terror invaserat: et diripuerunt urbes, et multam prædam asportaverunt. |
| [15]They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem. |
[15]Sed et caulas ovium destruentes, tulerunt pecorum infinitam multitudinem, et camelorum: reversique sunt in Jerusalem. |
