2 Khokhuen 15
1 Oded capa Azariah te a soah Pathen mueihla a om pah.
And Azarias the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,
2 Te dongah Asa mikhmuh la cet tih amah taengah, “Asa neh Judah boeih neh Benjamin loh kai ol hnatun. Amah taengah na om uh ham ni nangmih taengah BOEIPA a om. Amah na toem uh atah nangmih taengah phoe ni. Tedae amah te na hnawt uh atah nangmih te n'hnawt ni.
and he went out to meet Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin. The Lord [is] with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him out, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Kum te yet te Israel khuiah oltak Pathen tal coeng tih aka thuinuet kung khosoih khaw tal coeng, olkhueng khaw tal coeng.
And Israel [has been] a long time without the true God, and without a priest to expound [the truth], and without the law.
4 Tedae a rhal khuiah Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengla mael tih amah te a tlap uh dongah amih taengah a phoe pah.
But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.
5 Te vaeng tue ah tah aka kunael neh aka vuenva ham khaw ngaimongnah a om moenih. Khohmuen kah khosa boeih taengah soekloeknah ping coeng.
And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands.
6 Pathen loh amih te citcai cungkuem neh a khawkkhek coeng dongah, namtom neh namtom, khopuei neh khopuei khaw phop uh thae.
And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every [kind of] affliction.
7 Tedae nangmih tah thaahuel uh lamtah na kut kha sak boeh. Na thaphu hamla thapang om coeng,” a ti nah.
But be you strong, and let not your hands be weakened: for there is a reward for your work.
8 Te ol neh tonghma Oded kah tonghma ol te Asa loh a yaak vaengah thaa a huel. Sarhingkoi te Judah neh Benjamin khohmuen pum lamloh, Ephraim tlang kah a loh khopuei rhoek lamloh a khoe. BOEIPA ngalha hmai kah BOEIPA hmueihtuk te khaw a tlaih.
And when [Asa] heard these words, and the prophesy of Adad the prophet, then he strengthened himself, and cast out the abominations from all the land of Juda and Benjamin, and from the cities which Jeroboam possessed, in mount Ephraim, and he renewed the altar of the Lord, which was before the temple of the Lord.
9 Te phoeiah Judah pum neh Benjamin khaw, amih taengah aka bakuep Ephraim neh Manasseh lamkah khaw Simeon lamkah khaw a coi. Anih kah Pathen BOEIPA tah anih taengah om tila a hmuh uh vaengah tah Israel lamloh anih taengah a pum la cungku uh.
And he assembled Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers that lived with him, of Ephraim, and of Manasse, and of Symeon: for many of Israel were joined to him, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 Te dongah Asa ram kah kum hlai nga a hla thum vaengah tah Jerusalem la tingtun uh.
And they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 Te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA te a nawn uh tih kutbuem khui lamkah saelhung ya rhih neh boiva thawng rhih a khuen uh.
And he sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils which they brought, seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.
12 A napa Pathen BOEIPA te a thinko boeih neh, a hinglu boeih neh toem hamla paipi khuila kun uh.
And he entered into a covenant that they should seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.
13 Israel Pathen BOEIPA te aka toem pawt boeih tah, tanoe kangham khaw, tongpa huta khaw a duek sak.
And that whoever should not seek the Lord God of Israel, should die, whether young or old, whether man or woman.
14 BOEIPA taengah ol a len neh, tamlung neh, olueng neh, tuki neh a toemngam uh.
And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 A thinko boeih neh a toemngam uh dongah olhlo soah Judah pum loh omngaih uh. Amamih kah kolonah boeih neh amah te a tlap uh dongah amih taengah a phoe pah. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te a kaepvai ah a duem sak.
And all Juda rejoiced concerning the oath: for they swore with all their heart, and they sought him with all their desires; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.
16 Manghai Asa loh manu aMaakah pataeng khaw Asherah rhobuk a saii dongah manghainu lamloh a khoe. Anih kah rhobuk te Asa loh a tloek pah tih a tip phoeiah tah Kidron soklong ah a hoeh.
And he removed Maacha his mother from being priestess to Astarte; and he cut down the idol, and burnt it in the brook of Kedron.
17 Hmuensang te Israel lamloh khoe uh pawt mai cakhaw amah tue khuiah tah Asa kah thinko he rhuemtuet la om.
Nevertheless they removed not the high places: they still existed in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 A napa kah hnocim neh amah kah hnocim khaw, cak khaw, sui khaw, hnopai khaw BOEIPA im la a khuen.
And he brought in the holy things of David his father, and the holy things of the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Asa kah ram te kum sawmthum kum nga duela caemtloeknah a om moenih.
And there was no war [waged] with him until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
