2 Dungkrhoekhaih 14

1 Abijah loe ampanawk khaeah anghak moe, David vangpui ah aphum o; anih zuengah a capa Asa mah prae to uk. Anih dung ah saning hato thung prae monghaih to oh.

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 Asa loe angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw hmaa ah katoeng moe, kahoih hmuen to sak.

And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:

3 Anih mah prae kalah kaminawk sithaw ih hmaicam hoi hmuensangnawk to takhoe boih; krangnawk to phraek boih moe, Asherah thingnawk to pakhruk boih.

for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and brake down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;

4 Judah kaminawk khaeah angmacae ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw to pakrong moe, anih mah paek ih lok hoi patuk ih loknawk to pazui o hanah a thuih pae.

and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

5 Judah vangpui kruek ah kaom hmuesangnawk hoi krangnawk boih to vah king; anih ukhaih tlim ah prae monghaih to oh.

Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.

6 Angraeng mah monghaih paek pongah, prae thungah monghaih to oh; to nathuem ah misa angtukhaih om ai boeh pongah, Judah prae thung boih ah kacak vangpuinawk to a sak.

And he built fenced cities in Judah: for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.

7 Aicae loe aimacae ih Angraeng Sithaw hoi Anih to pakrong o pongah, anih mah prae boih ah monghaih paek boeh; prae aicae ban thungah oh naah, Hae vangpuinawk hae sah o si loe, sipaenawk, misatoephaih imsangnawk, khongkhanawk hoi takraenghaihnawk to sah o si, tiah anih mah Judah kaminawk hanah thuih pae. To pongah nihcae mah imlawk to sak o moe, khosakhoihaih to oh.

For he said unto Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; 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 Asa loe Judah prae thungah misa angvaenghaih aphaw hoi tayae sin misatuh sang cumvai thumto suek; Benjamin acaeng thungah kathoeng aphaw hoi kalii sin kami sang cumvai hnet, quitazetto a suek; hae kaminawk loe misahoih kami ah oh o boih.

And Asa had an army that bare bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: an these were mighty men of valour.

9 Ethiopia kami Zerah loe nihcae tuk hanah kami sang cumvai hatlaito, hrangleeng cumvai thumto hoiah Mareshah karoek to angzoh o.

And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.

10 Asa loe anih tuk hanah caeh moe, Mareshah taeng ih Zephathah azawn ah misa angtuk o.

Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

11 Asa mah angmah ih Angraeng Sithaw to kawk, Angraeng, kapop parai thacak kami to tuk moe, thacak ai kami abomh hanah, nang han karai parai hmuen tidoeh om ai; Aw kaicae ih Angraeng Sithaw, kaicae hae na bom ah; kaicae loe nang khaeah ni kam ha o; hae kapop parai kaminawk hae na hmin hoiah ni tuk han ka caeh o; Aw Angraeng, nang loe kaicae ih Sithaw ah ni na oh; kami mah Nang to pazawk hmah nasoe, tiah a naa.

And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, there is none beside thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength: help us, O LORD our God; for we rely on thee, and in thy name are we come against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee;

12 Angraeng mah Asa hoi Judah hmaa ah, Ethiopia kaminawk to hum pae; Ethiopia kaminawk loe cawnh o.

So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

13 Asa hoi anih ih misatuh kaminawk mah nihcae to Gerar karoek to patom o; Ethiopia kaminawk to tuk pazawk o, nihcae loe angthawk o let thai ai boeh; nihcae loe Angraeng hoi Anih ih misatuh kaminawk hmaa ah duek o; Judahnawk mah misa ih hmuenmaenawk to lak pae o king.

And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much booty.

14 Gerar taeng ih vangpuinawk to phraek pae o boih; Angraeng zithaih to nihcae nuiah oh pae; vangpuinawk boih phraek pae o; misatuk naah lak pae o ih hmuennawk paroeai pop.

And they smote all the cities round shout Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them:

15 Moi pacahhaih ahmuennawk doeh muk pae o moe, tuunawk hoi kaengkuu hrangnawk doeh hoih pae o ving. To pacoeng ah Jerusalem ah amlaem o.

They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
