And Abia died with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David; and Asa his son reigned in his stead. In the days of Asa the land of Juda had rest ten years.
2 Asa ni BAWIPA Cathut hmalah hawinae hoi lannae hno a sak.
And he did that which was good and right in the sight of the Lord his God.
3 Jentelnaw e thuengnae khoungroenaw hoi hmuenrasangnaw koung a takhoe. Talung ungenaw hai koung a raphei teh meikaphawk thingnaw hai koung a tâtueng.
And he removed the altars of the strange [gods], and the high places, and broke the pillars in pieces, and cut down the groves:
4 Judahnaw ni mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut tawng vaiteh, kâlawknaw tarawi hanelah kâ a poe.
and he told Juda to seek earnestly the Lord God of their fathers, and to perform the law and commandments.
5 Judah kho tangkuem dawk e hmuenrasangnaw hoi meikaphawk a takhoe awh teh, a uknaeram teh karoumcalah ao.
And he removed from all the cities of Juda the altars and the idols, and established in quietness
6 Judah ram dawk e khopuinaw rapan hoi koung a kalup teh BAWIPA ni roumnae a poe dawkvah, kum moikasawlah kâtuknae awm hoeh.
fortified cities in the land of Juda; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in these years; for the Lord gave him rest.
7 Hahoi Judahnaw koevah, hete khopuinaw sak awh vaiteh, rapan hoi koung kalup awh sei. Radoung nahane imrasang hoi longkha taren nahane hai sak awh seh.

And he said to Juda, Let us fortify these cities, and make walls, and towers, and gates, and bars: we shall prevail over the land, for as we have sought out the Lord our God, he has sought out us, and has given us rest round about, and prospered us.
8 Asa ni Judahnaw bahlingnaw hoi tahroenaw ka patuem e tami 300,000 touh a tawn. Benjamin miphun dawk bahlingnaw hoi lilava ka patuem e tami 280,000 touh a tawn teh, hete taminaw pueng teh thakasaipounge naw hoi tarankahawi poung e naw doeh.
And Asa had a force of armed men bearing shields and spears in the land of Juda, [even] three hundred thousand, and in the land of Benjamin two hundred and eighty thousand targeteers and archers: all these were mighty warriors.
9 Ethiopia tami Zerah teh ransa 1,000,000, rangleng 300 touh hoi ahnimanaw tuk hanelah Mareshah kho dawk a pha.
And Zare the Ethiopian went out against them, with a force of a million, and three hundred chariots; and came to Maresa.
10 Asa ni ahnimanaw tuk hanelah a tâco teh, Mareshah kho teng e Zephathah yawn dawk taran a kâtuk awh.
And Asa went out to meet him, and set the battle in array in the valley north of Maresa.

Kaimanaw ni nang na kâuep awh teh, na min lahoi hete tamihupui tuk hanelah ka cei awh. Oe BAWIPA nang teh kaimae Cathut lah na o teh taminaw ni na ta hanh seh telah a ratoum.
And Asa cried to the Lord his God, and said, O Lord, it is not impossible with thee to save by many or by few: strengthen us, O Lord our God; for we trust in thee, and in thy name have we come against this great multitude. O Lord our God, let not man prevail against thee.
12 Hottelah BAWIPA ni Asa hoi Judahnaw hmalah, Ethiopia taminaw a tuk teh koung a yawng awh.
And the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Juda; and the Ethiopians fled.
13 Asa hoi a taminaw ni Gerar kho totouh a pâlei awh. Ethiopianaw ni bout a tuk thai hoeh dawkvah, a kâhno awh toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA hoi a ransanaw hmalah sung sak lah ao teh, hnopai moikapap a la pouh awh.
And Asa and his people pursued them to Gedor; and the Ethiopians fell, so that they could not recover themselves; for they were crushed before the Lord, and before his host; and they took many spoils.
14 Gera kho teng e naw pueng koung a tâ awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA takinae ahnimae thung a pha teh, khopuinaw hai koung a raphoe awh. Hnopai moikapap a la awh.
And they destroyed their towns roundabout Gedor; for a terror of the Lord was upon them: and they spoiled all their cities, for they had much spoil.
15 Saring hrueknae imnaw hai koung a raphoe awh teh, tu hoi kalauknaw moikapap a lawp awh teh Jerusalem lah a ban awh.
Also they destroyed the tents of cattle, and the Alimazons, and took many sheep and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.
