2 Chronicles 14
Maori Bible
14 Heoi kua moe a Apia ki ona matua, a tanumia iho ki te pa o Rawiri. Na ko Aha, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia. I ona ra i ata takoto te whenua, kotahi tekau tau.
2 Na he pai, he tika, nga mahi a Aha ki te titiro a Ihowa, a tona Atua.
3 I whakakahoretia hoki e ia nga aata o nga atua ke, me nga wahi tiketike, a i wawahia e ia nga pou, a turakina ana nga Aherimi;
4 A i whakahau ia ki a Hura kia rapu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua, kia mahi hoki i te ture me te whakahau.
5 I whakakahoretia atu ano e ia i roto i nga pa katoa o Hura nga wahi tiketike, me nga whakapakoko: a i ata takoto te kingitanga i tona aroaro.
6 A hanga ana e ia etahi pa taiepa ki Hura; i ata takoto hoki te whenua, kahore ana whawhai i aua tau; na Ihowa hoki ia i mea kia whai tanga manawa.
7 Koia ia i mea ai ki a Hura, Tatou ka hanga i enei pa, i te taiepa hoki a taka noa, i nga pourewa, i nga tatau, i nga tutaki; kei to tatou nei aroaro tonu te whenua, no te mea i rapua e tatou a Ihowa, to tatou Atua; rapua ana ia e tatou, na kua me inga nei e ia kia ta o tatou manawa a tawhio noa. Na hanga ana e ratou, a oti pai ana ta ratou.
8 Na he hoia ano a Aha, he hunga hapai i te whakangungu rakau, i te matia; o Hura, e toru rau mano; o Pineamine, he hunga hapai pukupuku, he hunga kukume kopere, e rua rau e waru tekau mano; he marohirohi enei katoa, he toa.
9 Na ko te haerenga mai o Tera o Etiopia ki a ratou, ko tana ope kotahi mano mano, e toru rau nga hariata. Haere mai ana ia ki Mareha.
10 Katahi ka puta a Aha ki te tu i a ia, a whakatakotoria ana e raua a raua ngohi ki te raorao o Tepata, ki Mareha.
11 Na ka karanga a Aha ki a Ihowa, ki tona Atua, ka mea, E Ihowa, kahore he mea ke atu i a koe hei awhina, ahakoa i te nui, ahakoa i te hunga kahore he kaha: awhinatia matou, e Ihowa, e to matou Atua; ko koe hoki to matou okiokinga, a nou te ingoa i haere mai ai matou ki tenei ope. E Ihowa, ko koe to matou Atua; kei pehia tau e te tangata.
12 Heoi patua iho nga Etiopiana e Ihowa i te aroaro o Aha, i te aroaro ano o Hura. Na rere ana nga Etiopiana.
13 Na ka whaia ratou e Aha ratou ko ana tangata a tae noa ki Kerara: a ka hinga o nga Etiopiana tona tini, kihai rawa ratou i ahei te hoki ake; i whakangaromia hoki ratou i te aroaro o Ihowa, i te aroaro ano o tana ope; a nui atu nga taonga paraket e i riro i a ratou.
14 Patua iho hoki e ratou nga pa katoa i Kerara a tawhio noa; i runga hoki i a ratou te wehi o Ihowa. Pahuatia ana e ratou nga pa katoa; nui atu hoki te taonga i roto.
15 I patua ano nga teneti o nga kararehe; tangohia ana nga hipi, me nga kamera, tona tini; a hoki ana ki Hiruharama.

2 Chronicles 14
New International Version
14 [a]And Abijah rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. Asa his son succeeded him as king, and in his days the country was at peace for ten years.
Asa King of Judah(A)
2 Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.(B) 3 He removed the foreign altars(C) and the high places, smashed the sacred stones(D) and cut down the Asherah poles.[b](E) 4 He commanded Judah to seek the Lord,(F) the God of their ancestors, and to obey his laws and commands. 5 He removed the high places(G) and incense altars(H) in every town in Judah, and the kingdom was at peace under him. 6 He built up the fortified cities of Judah, since the land was at peace. No one was at war with him during those years, for the Lord gave him rest.(I)
7 “Let us build up these towns,” he said to Judah, “and put walls around them, with towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, because we have sought the Lord our God; we sought him and he has given us rest(J) on every side.” So they built and prospered.
8 Asa had an army of three hundred thousand(K) men from Judah, equipped with large shields and with spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand from Benjamin, armed with small shields and with bows. All these were brave fighting men.
9 Zerah the Cushite(L) marched out against them with an army of thousands upon thousands and three hundred chariots, and came as far as Mareshah.(M) 10 Asa went out to meet him, and they took up battle positions in the Valley of Zephathah near Mareshah.
11 Then Asa called(N) to the Lord his God and said, “Lord, there is no one like you to help the powerless against the mighty. Help us,(O) Lord our God, for we rely(P) on you, and in your name(Q) we have come against this vast army. Lord, you are our God; do not let mere mortals prevail(R) against you.”
12 The Lord struck down(S) the Cushites before Asa and Judah. The Cushites fled, 13 and Asa and his army pursued them as far as Gerar.(T) Such a great number of Cushites fell that they could not recover; they were crushed(U) before the Lord and his forces. The men of Judah carried off a large amount of plunder.(V) 14 They destroyed all the villages around Gerar, for the terror(W) of the Lord had fallen on them. They looted all these villages, since there was much plunder there. 15 They also attacked the camps of the herders and carried off droves of sheep and goats and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

2 Chronicles 14
King James Version
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.
2 And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God:
3 For he took away the altars of the strange gods, and the high places, and brake down the images, and cut down the groves:
4 And commanded Judah to seek the Lord 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 images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
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.
7 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.
8 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.
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.
10 Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 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 no man prevail against thee.
12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.
13 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.
14 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.
15 They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
