Asa remove di foreign altars and high places, and di land get ten quiet years for building. When one Cushite army of one million march come, im prayer be say na only im Papa fit help di powerless against di mighty — and di Cushites scatter finish.
14 1Abijah come rest with im ancestors dem; dem bury am for di City of David. Im pikin Asa come be king, and di land get peace for ten years. 2Asa do wetin good and correct for di eye of our Papa. 3E comot di altars for foreign gods and di high places, break di sacred pillars, and cut down di Asherah poles. 4E command Judah make dem find our Papa, di God of their ancestors, and make dem keep di law and di commandment. 5E comot di high places and di incense altars from all di cities of Judah, and di kingdom get peace under am. 6E build cities wey get strong wall for Judah, because di land get peace. E no fight any war for those years, because our Papa give am rest. 7E tell Judah, “Make we build these cities and surround dem with wall, tower, gate, and bar. Di land still be our own, because we find our Papa; we find am, and e give us rest for every side.” So dem build and dem prosper.
8Asa get army of 300,000 from Judah wey carry big shield and spear, and 280,000 from Benjamin wey carry shield and bow—all of dem na mighty warriors.
9Zerah di Cushite come out against dem with a million soldiers and 300 chariots, and e march reach Mareshah. 10Asa come out go meet am, and dem line up for battle for di Valley of Zephathah for Mareshah. 11Then Asa cry to our Papa im God: “Papa, na only you fit help person wey no get power against di strong one. Help us, our God, because na you we lean on, and na for your name we dey face this plenty crowd. You na our God; make no ordinary man win against you.”
12So our Papa strike di Cushites down for Asa front and for Judah front, and di Cushites run. 13Asa and im people chase dem reach Gerar, and di Cushites fall until nobody survive, because dem scatter for front of our Papa and im army. Di men of Judah carry plenty plunder comot. 14Dem strike down all di cities around Gerar, because di fear of our Papa fall on dem. Dem loot all di cities, because plenty plunder dey inside dem. 15Dem attack di tents of di herdsmen too, carry plenty sheep and camel comot, and dem return go Jerusalem.
