2 Thusimbu 15

1 Obed chapa Azariah chunga Pathen Lhagao ahung chun,

And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.

2 Lengpa Asa galmun’a kon hung vailhung chun, Lengpa kimuto pi dingin apotdoh tan ahi. Neihin ngaipeh temin Asa tin agah asamin ahi. Ngaitemin, nangho Judah le Benjamin phunga mite ho! Pakai chu nanghon naumpi laiseuva aman naum pidiu ahi. Nanghon nahol laiseuva ama chu namu diu, ahinlah nanghon nadalhah uva ahileh aman jong nadalhah diu ahi.

And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Jehovah is with you while ye are with him; and if ye seek him he will be found of you, but if ye forsake him he will forsake you.

3 Phat saotah pi Israel chu Pathen dihtah nei louva ahildiu themgao bei’a chule ajuidingu dan thu bei’a anaum-u ahitai.

Now for a long while Israel [was] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;

4 Ahinlah boina hahsatna ahinto phat ule, Pakai Israel Pathen henga ahungki nung heikit uva; chule ama chu ahin hol phat ule amahon ama chu amudoh kit jiuve.

but in their trouble they turned to Jehovah the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was found of them.

5 Chuche lungjin naphat ho sung chun kholjinna chele vale dingin lungmon aum jipon ahi.

And in those times there [was] no peace to him that went out nor to him that came in, but great disturbances were amongst all the inhabitants of the countries.

6 Gamkhat in Gamkhat dounan gal akisat tou jiuvin ahi. Ajeh chu Pathen in boina tintang jouse toh tho’a asuhgim jiu ahi,

And nation was broken against nation, and city against city; for God disturbed them with all manner of distress.

7 Ahinlah nangvang hatnin lang hang in, ajeh chu na natoh man, kipa man nasan ding ahi.

But as for you, be firm and let not your hands be weak; for there is a reward for your deeds.

8 Asa chun Themgao Azariah konna hiche thu chu ajah doh phat hin, ahung hangsan tan Judah le Benjamin gamsunga chule Ephraim thinglhang gam'a analah’u khopi hoa thet umtah lim semthu ho chu abonchan asumang tan ahi. Chule Pakai Houin mai’a um lutle potle na indan sunga, Pakai maicham chu athah semphat kit tan ahi.

And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah.

9 Chuin Asa chun Judah le Benjamin phunga mijouse, amaho to chengkhom Ephraim, Mannaseh le Simeon phunga mijouse chutoh akou khom soh kei tan ahi. Asa vaipoh sung chun amaho Pakai a-Pathen un aumpi chu amu doh phat uchun Israel gam'a konin, mi tamtah Judah gam'a chun ahung kichao lut tauvin ahi.

And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell away to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Jehovah his God was with him.

10 Asa vaipoh sung kum somle nga lhin kum chavang kichai kon chun, mipi chu Jerusalema akikhom uvin ahi.

And they assembled themselves at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

11 Chuche nichun Pakaiya dingin bong ja sagi le kelngoi sang sagi chule galmunna ahinpohlut’u kelcha ho chu Pakai angsunga chun athatnun maicham thilton akat doh tauvin ahi.

And they sacrificed to Jehovah in that day, of the spoil that they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

12 Chuin amaho alung thim pumpi alhagao pumpiu vin Pakai a-Pathen’u holnan kitepna khat asemdoh tauvin ahi.

And they entered into a covenant to seek Jehovah the God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul,

13 Koi hileh ateh akhang hijongleh Pakai Israel Pathen holnom lou chu, thalih jeng dingin akinopto uvin ahi.

and that whoever would not seek Jehovah the God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

14 Sumkon gin peh lah lah le kelngoi ki kikhet gintoh thon, Pakaiya kitahna nei dingin akihah selnau aw sangtah in asamun ahi.

And they swore to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

15 A lungthim pumpiuva asemmu ahijeh chun, Judah gamsunga mijouse chu hiche kitepna chunga alunglhai soh keijun ahi. Ngaichatna neitah’a Pathen ahol’u ahijeh chun Pakaiyin alang langa agalmi teuva konin choldona apeuvin ahi.

And all Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they took the oath with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them. And Jehovah gave them rest round about.

16 Asa Lengpa chun apinu Maacah jeng tah jong chu Lengnu ahina muna konin anodoh in ahi. Ajeh chu amanu chun thujahmo Asherah khom anasem ahi, Asa chu apinun thujahmo khom asem chu asat lhan ajepchip in Kedron phaicham a chun ahalvamtan ahi.

And also Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burned it in the valley Kidron.

17 Israel gam sunga doikhom, doihouna munho akisuhmang louvang chun; ahinkho lhung keijin Asa lungthim chu kitahna lhingset in aum jinge.

But the high places were not removed from Israel; only, Asa's heart was perfect all his days.

18 Ama le apan ana lhandoh sana le dangka chule thil jatchom chom ho chu, Pathen Houin sunga ahinpolut in ahi.

And he brought into the house of God the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

19 Hitichun Asa lengvaipoh kum somthum le kum nga chan chun gal kiti ana umtapoi.

And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
