2 Khokhuen 14
1 Abijah he a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah anih te David khopuei ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Asa anih yueng la manghai. Anih tue vaengkah kum rha khui ah khohmuen khaw mong.
And Abijah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son in his stead: in his days was the land quiet ten years.
2 Asa loh a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hnothen neh a thuem ni a saii.
And Asa doth that which is good, and that which is right, in the eyes of Jehovah his God,
3 Kholong hmueihtuk neh hmuensang te a khoe tih kaam te a phaek. Asherah khaw a top.
and turneth aside the altars of the stranger, and the high places, and breaketh the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines,
4 A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA toem ham neh a olkhueng neh a olpaek vai ham khaw Judah rhoek te a uen.
and saith to Judah to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, and to do the law and the command;
5 Judah khopuei tom lamkah hmuensang neh bunglawn te a khoe tih a mikhmuh ah a ram khaw mong.
and he turneth aside out of all cities of Judah the high places and the images, and the kingdom is quiet before him.
6 Khohmuen te a mong dongah Judah kah kasam khopuei rhoek te a sak. Anih te BOEIPA loh a duem sak dongah te vaeng tue ah a taengah caemtloeknah om pawh.
And he buildeth cities of bulwarks in Judah, for the land hath quiet, and there is no war with him in these years, because Jehovah hath given rest to him.
7 Te phoeiah Judah rhoek taengah, “Khopuei rhoek he sa uh sih lamtah vongtung neh rhaltoengim khaw, thohkhaih neh thohkalh khaw buen uh sih. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA te n'toem uh dongah khohmuen he mamih mikhmuh ah mong pueng. N'toem uh bangla a kaepvai taengah mamih he m'duem sak,” a ti nah. Te dongah a sak uh tangloeng tih thaihtak uh.
And he saith to Judah, 'Let us build these cities, and compass [them] with wall, and towers, two-leaved doors, and bars, while the land [is] before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God, we have sought, and He giveth rest to us round about;' and they build and prosper.
8 Judah lamkah photlinglen neh cai aka muk tatthai thawng ya thum te Asa taengah om bal. Benjamin lamloh photling aka bai tih lii aka phu, tatthai hlangrhalh boeih he thawng yahnih thawng sawmrhet lo.
And there is to Asa a force bearing target and spear, out of Judah three hundred thousand, and out of Benjamin, bearing shield and treading bow, two hundred and eighty thousand: all these [are] mighty of valour.
9 Te phoeiah amih te Kushi Zerah loh tatthai thawng thawngkhat, leng ya thum neh a paan tih Mareshah la pawk.
And come out unto them doth Zerah the Cushite with a force of a thousand thousand, and chariots three hundred, and he cometh in unto Mareshah,
10 Te dongah Asa te a hmai ah cet tih Mareshah kah kolrhawk ah caemtloek rhong a pai.
and Asa goeth out before him, and they set battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 Te vaengah Asa loh amah kah Pathen BOEIPA te a khue tih, “Aw BOEIPA, thadueng aka tal te boeiping laklo ah bom ham khaw namah bang a om moenih. Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA aw kaimih m'bom lah. Namah dongah ka hangdang uh tih namah ming nen ni he hlangping taengla ka pawk uh. Namah te kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA ni, namah taengah tah hlanghing loh ueh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
And Asa calleth unto Jehovah his God, and saith, 'Jehovah! it is nothing with Thee to help, between the mighty and those who have no power; help us, O Jehovah, our God, for on Thee we have leant, and in Thy name we have come against this multitude; O Jehovah, our God thou [art]; let him not prevail with Thee — mortal man!
12 Te dongah BOEIPA loh Kushi te Asa mikhmuh neh Judah mikhmuh ah a yawk sak tih Kushi rhoek te rhaelrham uh.
And Jehovah smiteth the Cushim before Asa, and before Judah, and the Cushim flee,
13 Amih te Asa neh a taengkah pilnam loh Gerar hil duela a hloem tih Kushi lamloh a cungku sak. Amih te hinglu hlawtnah a om pawt hil BOEIPA mikhmuh neh a caem mikhmuh ah a khah coeng tih kutbuem khaw a yet la muep a phueih uh.
and Asa and the people who [are] with him pursue them even to Gerar, and there fall of the Cushim, for they have no preserving, because they have been broken before Jehovah, and before His camp; and they bear away very much spoil,
14 Te vaengah amih soah BOEIPA taengkah birhihnah a om dongah Gerar kaepvai khopuei boeih te a ngawn uh. A khuiah kutbuem muep a om dongah khopuei tom te a poelyoe uh.
and smite all the cities round about Gerar, for a fear of Jehovah hath been upon them, and they spoil all the cities, for abundant spoil hath been in them;
15 Boiva kah dap khaw a ngawn uh dongah boiva neh kalauk te a cungkuem la a sol uh tih Jerusalem la mael uh.
and also tents of cattle they have smitten, and they capture sheep in abundance, and camels, and turn back to Jerusalem.
