1 Asa ram kah sawmthum kum rhuk vaengah Israel manghai Baasha loh Judah te a paan tih Judah manghai Asa taengla kunael vuenva sak pawt ham Ramah te a sak.
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Asa loh cak neh sui te BOEIPA im neh manghai im kah thakvoh khui lamloh a poh tih Damasku ah kho aka sa Aram manghai Benhadad taengla a pat.
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,
3 “Paipi he kai laklo neh nang laklo ah, a pa laklo neh na pa laklo ah om tih nang hamla cak neh sui kam pat coeng ne. Israel manghai Baasha taengla cet lamtah na paipi phae laeh. Te vaengah kai taeng lamloh cet saeh,” a ti nah.
"Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
4 Te dongah Benhadad loh manghai Asa te a rhoi tih anih ham te Israel khopuei rhoek ah tatthai mangpa rhoek te a tueih pah. Te vaengah Ijon, Dan, Abelmaim neh Naphtali khopuei rhuengim te boeih a ngawn.
Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
5 Baasha loh a yaak van neh Ramah a sak te a toeng tih a bitat te a paa sak.
It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
6 Te vaengah manghai Asa loh Judah pum te a khuen tih Baasha loh a sak nah Ramah lungto neh thing te a phueih pah. Te nen te Geba neh Mizpah a sak.
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
7 Te vaeng tue ah khohmu Hanani tah Judah manghai Asa taengla pawk tih anih te, “Aram manghai dongah na hangdang tih na Pathen BOEIPA dongah na hangdang pawh. Te dongah manghai Aram kah caem tah na kut lamloh loeih coeng.
At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore is the army of the king of Aram escaped out of your hand.
8 Kushi neh Lubim khaw a cungkuem dongah tatthai la a om uh moenih a? Leng neh, marhang caem neh muep ping dae BOEIPA dongah na hangdang dongah ni amih te nang kut ah m'paek.
Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your hand.
9 Amah taengah rhuemtuet la a thinko aka hong te moem hamla BOEIPA loh diklai pum ah a mik a van sak thikthuek. Tahae ah na pavai ngawn cakhaw tahae lamloh na taengah caemtloek om coeng,” a ti nah.
For the eyes of the LORD run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from now on you shall have wars."
10 Tedae Asa te khohmu taengah hue a sak tih anih taengkah a thintoek ah anih te hloong im khuila a khueh. Te vaeng tue ah Asa loh pilnam te a neet.
Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
11 Asa olka a kung neh a dong he khaw Judah neh Israel kah manghai cabu khuiah a daek uh ne.
Look, the acts of Asa, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Asa kah a ram te sawmthum kum ko vaengah anih te tloh loh a dom. A kho dongkah a tloh te a so duela a om pah. A tlohtat khuiah pataeng aka hoeih sak ham BOEIPA te a toem moenih.
In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but to the physicians.
13 Asa khaw a napa rhoek taengah khoem uh tih a manghai te sawmli kum khat a lo vaengah duek.
Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
14 Anih te amah kah phuel ah a up uh. Te te amah loh David khopuei ah a vueh. Anih te thingkong dongah a yalh sak uh tih botui neh si bibi neh a comluem a thungnom tih a vuei. Anih ham hmai len muep a hueng uh.
They buried him in his own tomb that he had dug out in the City of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various kinds of sweet-scented herbs prepared by the perfumers' art, and they made a very great fire for him.
