2 Chronicles 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 Asa did what was good and pleasing to the LORD, his God,	1 και εποιησεν το καλον και το ευθες ενωπιον κυριου θεου αυτου
2 removing the heathen altars and the high places, breaking to pieces the sacred pillars, and cutting down the sacred poles.	2 και απεστησεν τα θυσιαστηρια των αλλοτριων και τα υψηλα και συνετριψεν τας στηλας και εξεκοψεν τα αλση
3 He commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to observe the law and its commands.	3 και ειπεν τω ιουδα εκζητησαι τον κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων και ποιησαι τον νομον και τας εντολας
4 He removed the high places and incense stands from all the cities of Judah, and under him the kingdom had peace.	4 και απεστησεν απο πασων των πολεων ιουδα τα θυσιαστηρια και τα ειδωλα και ειρηνευσεν
5 He built fortified cities in Judah, for the land had peace and no war was waged against him during these years, because the LORD had given him peace.	5 πολεις τειχηρεις εν γη ιουδα οτι ειρηνευσεν η γη και ουκ ην αυτω πολεμος εν τοις ετεσιν τουτοις οτι κατεπαυσεν αυτω κυριος
6 He said to Judah: "Let us build these cities and surround them with walls, towers, gates and bars. The land is still ours, for we have sought the LORD, our God; we sought him, and he has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.	6 και ειπεν τω ιουδα οικοδομησωμεν τας πολεις ταυτας και ποιησωμεν τειχη και πυργους και πυλας και μοχλους εν ω της γης κυριευσομεν οτι καθως εξεζητησαμεν κυριον θεον ημων εξεζητησεν ημας και κατεπαυσεν ημας κυκλοθεν και ευοδωσεν ημιν
7 Asa had an army of three hundred thousand shield-and lance-bearers from Judah, and two hundred and eighty thousand from Benjamin who carried bucklers and were archers, all of them valiant warriors.	7 και εγενετο τω ασα δυναμις οπλοφορων αιροντων θυρεους και δορατα εν γη ιουδα τριακοσιαι χιλιαδες και εν γη βενιαμιν πελτασται και τοξοται διακοσιαι και πεντηκοντα χιλιαδες παντες ουτοι πολεμισται δυναμεως
8 Zerah the Ethiopian moved against them with a force of one million men and three hundred chariots, and he came as far as Mareshah.	8 και εξηλθεν επ' αυτους ζαρε ο αιθιοψ εν δυναμει εν χιλιαις χιλιασιν και αρμασιν τριακοσιοις και ηλθεν εως μαρισα
9 Asa went out to meet him and set himself in battle array in the valley of Zephathah, near Mareshah.	9 και εξηλθεν ασα εις συναντησιν αυτω και παρεταξατο πολεμον εν τη φαραγγι κατα βορραν μαρισης
10 Asa called upon the LORD, his God, praying: "O LORD, there is none like you to help the powerless against the strong. Help us, O LORD, our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. You are the LORD, our God; let no man prevail against you."	10 και εβοησεν ασα προς κυριον θεον αυτου και ειπεν κυριε ουκ αδυνατει παρα σοι σωζειν εν πολλοις και εν ολιγοις κατισχυσον ημας κυριε ο θεος ημων οτι επι σοι πεποιθαμεν και επι τω ονοματι σου ηλθαμεν επι το πληθος το πολυ τουτο κυριε ο θεος ημων μη κατισχυσατω προς σε ανθρωπος
11 And so the LORD defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah, and they fled.	11 και επαταξεν κυριος τους αιθιοπας εναντιον ιουδα και εφυγον οι αιθιοπες
12 Asa and those with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until there were no survivors, for they were crushed before the LORD and his army, which carried away enormous spoils.	12 και κατεδιωξεν ασα και ο λαος αυτου εως γεδωρ και επεσον αιθιοπες ωστε μη ειναι εν αυτοις περιποιησιν οτι συνετριβησαν ενωπιον κυριου και εναντιον της δυναμεως αυτου και εσκυλευσαν σκυλα πολλα
13 Then the Judahites conquered all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the LORD was upon them; they despoiled all the cities, for there was much booty in them.	13 και εξεκοψαν τας κωμας αυτων κυκλω γεδωρ οτι εγενηθη εκστασις κυριου επ' αυτους και εσκυλευσαν πασας τας πολεις αυτων οτι πολλα σκυλα εγενηθη αυτοις
14 They attacked also the tents of the cattle-herders and carried off a great number of sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.	14 και γε σκηνας κτησεων τους αμαζονεις εξεκοψαν και ελαβον προβατα πολλα και καμηλους και επεστρεψαν εις ιερουσαλημ
