1 Abijah athi phat chun David khopia chun akivuitan ahi. Chuin achapa Asa chu ama banin Lengin ahung pangin, hiti chun gamsunga chun kum som sung chamna le lungmona anaumin ahi.
So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days, the land was quiet ten years.
2 Asa chun Pakai a-Pathen mit mun, alunglhaina dingle thilpha jeng abollin ahi.
Asa did that which was good and right in the LORD his God’s eyes,
3 Aman gamchom miho maicham phungle, doihou ho doi-khom chu aladohsoh keijin ahi.
for he took away the foreign altars and the high places, broke down the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles,
4 Asa chun Judah ten apu apau Pakai Pathen aholluva, chule adan hole athupeh’a anunna diuvin thu apetan ahi.
and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to obey his law and command.
5 Asa chun Judah khopi jousea doikhom leh, gimnamtui ahal nau maicham phungho jong chu aladoh soh kei tan ahi.
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 Chuche chamna kum sungchun Judah gamsung pumpia khopiho kul thopal ana gendoh jouvin ahi. Hiche phatsung hin, ama dounan koimachan gal anabol poi; ajeh chu Pakai in agalmi ho akonna akicholdo sah ahi.
He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because the LORD had given him rest.
7 Asa chun Judah mite chu aseipeh’in, “Khopi ho sao hitin chule bang insang kotpi le thihkhao tothon kulpi gen uhite gam hi eihoa ahijenge, ajeh chu eihon Pakai Pathen chu ina holjinguva, chule aman akimvel jousea hi chamna eina peh’u ahi,” ati’ Hitichun amahon hiche tohgon ho chu ana chepiuvin atongdoh soh keitauvin ahi.
For he said to Judah, “Let’s build these cities and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God. We have sought him, and he has given us rest on every side.” So they built and prospered.
8 Asa chun tengcha le kidalna pho mangcha Judah phunga kon sepai hangsan sang jathum aneiyin ahi. Chujongleh Benjamin phunga konin, kidalna pho neoloi le thalpi mangcha sepai galhang sang jani le somget aneiyin, sepai hon anigella chu, galsat jedan phatecha kihil them mi ahiuve.
Asa had an army of three hundred thousand out of Judah who bore bucklers and spears, and two hundred eighty thousand out of Benjamin who bore shields and drew bows. All these were mighty men of valor.
9 Khatvei chu Ethiopia mi Zerah kiti pa chun sepai mi nelkhat, chule sakol kangtalai jathum chun Judah techu ahin no khum un ahi. Amaho chun Mareshah khopi chan ahin dellut un ahi.
Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million troops and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
10 Chuin Asa chun asepai techu galsat din sah lam Mereshah phaichamma chun akoi tan ahi.
Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
11 Chutah chun Asa chun a-Pakai, Pathen henga atao in, “O Pakai nangtai lou koima khatcha hiche thanei lou keima hin thaneitah galmite douna eikithopi jou ding aumpoi, neipanpeuvin O Pakai, ka Pathen-u neikithopiu vin, ijeh-inem itileh nangma jengbou katah san’u nahi’e, hiche nangma minna chu hiche simjoulou dou dinga hung kondoh a kahiuve, O Pakai nangma ka Pathen’un ahin, hiche mihem ho hi nang sangin chung nun sah hih hellin,” ati.
Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, “LORD, there is no one besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, LORD our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. LORD, you are our God. Do not let man prevail against you.”
12 Chuti chun Asa le Judah sepai ho masanga Pakai in Ethiopi mite gal ajo peh in, galmite chu ajam tauvin ahi.
So the LORD struck the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So many of the Ethiopians fell that they could not recover themselves, for they were destroyed before the LORD and before his army. Judah’s army carried away very much booty.
14 Amaho Gerar’a aum sungu chun chuche gamkai’a khopi ho chu ano khum un ahile Pakai a kon achunguva kichat tijat a chu in, amahon hiche kho jouse chu achomun ahi. Ajeh chu hiche lai munna chu mithil lah ding atama tam uma ahi,
They struck all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the LORD came on them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.
15 Amahon gancha chingho gebuh jong chu anokhum uvin, kelngoi hon kelcha le sangongsao hon ho chu ahin kipuidoh uvin, chuin ama ho chu Jerusalema ahung kinung le tauvin ahi.
They also struck the tents of those who had livestock, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, then returned to Jerusalem.
