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 the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land was quiet ten years.
2 Asa chun Pakai a-Pathen mit mun, alunglhaina dingle thilpha jeng abollin ahi.
And Asa did [that which was] good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God:
3 Aman gamchom miho maicham phungle, doihou ho doi-khom chu aladohsoh keijin ahi.
For he took away the altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke down the images, and cut down the groves:
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 God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
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 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.
And he built fortified cities in Judah: for the land had rest, 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.
Therefore he said to Judah, Let us build these cities, and make about [them] walls, and towers, gates, and bars, [while] the land [is] yet before us; because we have sought the LORD our God, we have sought [him], and he hath 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.
And Asa had an army [of men] that bore targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand: 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.
And there came out against them Zerah the Cushite, with a host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came to Mareshah.
10 Chuin Asa chun asepai techu galsat din sah lam Mereshah phaichamma chun akoi tan ahi.
Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathath 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.
And Asa cried to the LORD his God, and said, LORD, [it is] nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou [art] our God; let not man prevail against thee.
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 smote the Cushites before Asa, and before Judah; and the Cushites fled.
13 Asa le asepaite chun Gerar chan chu agadellun, chule hiti chun Ethiopi mite tamtah chun kinung thodoh jou kit dingin akigel tapouve. Amaho chu Pakai le a sepaiten asumangun chuin Judah te Sepai ho chun thilkeo tampi ahin kipoh doh tauvin ahi.
And Asa and the people that [were] with him pursued them to Gerar: and the Cushites were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.
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,
And they smote all the cities about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil 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 smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
