2 Khokhuen 15

1 Oded capa Azariah te a soah Pathen mueihla a om pah.

And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,

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 said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: 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 many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, 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.

And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him.

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.

At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth.

6 Pathen loh amih te citcai cungkuem neh a khawkkhek coeng dongah, namtom neh namtom, khopuei neh khopuei khaw phop uh thae.

For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.

7 Tedae nangmih tah thaahuel uh lamtah na kut kha sak boeh. Na thaphu hamla thapang om coeng,” a ti nah.

Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall be 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 had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch 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 gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing 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 when they were come to 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.

They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams.

12 A napa Pathen BOEIPA te a thinko boeih neh, a hinglu boeih neh toem hamla paipi khuila kun uh.

And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the 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 if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, 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 with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets,

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.

All that mere in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, 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.

Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron.

17 Hmuensang te Israel lamloh khoe uh pawt mai cakhaw amah tue khuiah tah Asa kah thinko he rhuemtuet la om.

But high places were left 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 the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses.

19 Asa kah ram te kum sawmthum kum nga duela caemtloeknah a om moenih.

And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.
