2 Midauko 14:1-15
14 Abiya wakagona na ŵasekuru ŵake, ndipo ŵakamusunga mu Msumba wa Davide.+ Mwana wake Asa wakaŵa themba mu malo ghake. Mu mazuŵa ghake, charu chikapumura vyaka 10.
2 Asa wakachita icho ntchiwemi na chakwenelera pamaso pa Yehova Chiuta wake.
3 Wakawuskamo majotchero+ ghachilendo na malo ghapachanya, wakaswa vipilara vyakupatulika+ na kudumulira pasi vikhuni vyakupatulika.*+
4 Kweniso wakaphalira Yuda kupenja Yehova Chiuta wa ŵasekuru ŵawo na kusungilira Dango na languro.
5 Ntheura wakawuskamo mu misumba yose ya Yuda malo ghapachanya na vyakuŵikapo vyakununkhira.+ Ufumu ukaŵa bata apo iyo wakawusanga.
6 Wakazenga misumba ya malinga ghakukhora mu Yuda,+ pakuti charu chikaŵa bata ndipo kukaŵavya nkhondo kulimbana nayo mu vyaka ivi, chifukwa Yehova wakamupa chipumulo.+
7 Wakati kwa Yuda: “Tiyeni tizenge misumba iyi, tiyizingilizge na viliŵa na vigongwe,+ vipata, na mphingilizgo. Charu chichali chithu, chifukwa tapenja Yehova Chiuta withu. Tapenja, ndipo watipa chipumulo kosekose.” Penepapo mulimo wawo wa kuzenga ukenda makora.+
8 Asa wakaŵa na ŵankhondo 300,000 kufuma mu Yuda, ŵakuyegha viskango vikuruvikuru na mikondo. Wakaŵaso na ŵankhondo 280,000 kufuma kwa Benjamini ŵanthu ŵankhongono ŵakunyamura tuviskango* ndipo ŵakaŵa na mauta.*+
9 Pamanyuma, Zera Muetiyopiya wakaŵawukira, wakaŵa na ŵankhondo 1,000,000 na magileta 300.+ Wakati wafika pa Maresha,+
10 Asa wakaluta kukarwa nayo, ndipo ŵakandanda mu Dambo la Zefata pa Maresha.
11 Penepapo Asa wakachema Yehova Chiuta wake,+ wakati: “A Yehova, vili na kanthu yayi kwa imwe, kwali awo mukuwovwira mbanandi panji ŵalije nkhongono.+ Tovwirani, mwe Yehova Chiuta withu, pakuti tikuthemba* imwe+ na zina linu pakwiza kwimikana na mzinda uwu.+ A Yehova, ndimwe Chiuta withu. Mungazomeranga chara kuti munthu wamuluskani.”+
12 Ntheura Yehova wakathereska Ŵaetiyopiya pamaso pa Asa na Yuda, ndipo Ŵaetiyopiya ŵakachimbira.+
13 Asa na ŵanthu ŵake ŵakaŵaskera m’paka ku Gerara,+ ndipo Ŵaetiyopiya ŵakalutilira kuwa m’paka pakaŵavya wakupona, chifukwa ŵakakomeka na Yehova kweniso ŵankhondo ŵake. Pamanyuma, ŵakayora vinthu vinandi chomene.
14 Ŵakatimbaso misumba yose yakuzingilizga Gerara, pakuti wofi wakufuma kwa Yehova ukaŵawira. Ŵakayora vinthu mu misumba yose, pakuti mukaŵa vinthu vinandi vyakupoka.
15 Ŵakawukiraso mahema gha awo ŵakaŵa na viŵeto, ndipo ŵakayora miskambo yinandi na ngamila. Pamanyuma ŵakawelera ku Yerusalemu.
