2 Setouknae 15
1 Cathut e Muitha teh Oded capa Azariah koe a pha teh,
The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
2 Asa dawn hanelah a cei teh, ahni koevah, Asa Judahnaw abuemlah hoi Benjaminnaw ka lawk thai awh haw. BAWIPA na kampangkhai awh pawiteh, ahni ni na kampangkhai van han. Ahni na tawng awh pawiteh na hmu awh han. Ahni na pahnawt awh pawiteh, na pahnawt awh van han.
and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Tueng moikasawlah Cathut katang tawn awh hoeh. Vaihmanaw cangkhainae hoi kâlawk tawn laipalah ao awh.
Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 Rucatnae a kâhmo awh toteh, BAWIPA Isarel Cathut koelah bout a ban awh. A tawng awh teh bout a hmu awh.
But when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5 Hatnae tueng dawk kâennae hoi tâconae dawk roumnae awm hoeh. Ram thung kho ka sak e pueng koe lungpuen tâsuenae hoi doeh a kawi.
In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 Ram buet touh hoi buet touh kho buet touh hoi buet touh a kâ raphoe awh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Cathut ni runae phunkuep hoi tarannaw kut dawk a kâhmo sak.
They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
7 Hatei, nangmouh teh tha kâlat awh nateh na kut hno awh hanh. Na sak awh e patetlah tawkphu na hmu awh han telah atipouh.
But you be strong, and do not let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded."
8 Asa ni hote lawk hoi profet Oded e sutdeilawk a thai navah, taran bout ahawi teh, Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram pueng Ephraim mon dawk e a la e khonaw e panuetthopounge naw pueng koung a tâkhawng teh, BAWIPA e im hmalah kaawm e BAWIPA thuengnae khoungroe bout a pathoup.
When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Azariah the son 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 which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the vestibule of the LORD.
9 Hahoi Judah ram hoi Benjamin ram thung e tami pueng ahni koe kho ka sak e Ephraim, Manasseh hoi Simeon ram thung e tami pueng koung a kaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA Cathut ahni koelah ao e a hmu navah Isarel ram thung e tami moikapap ahni koe a tho awh.
He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
10 Hottelah Asa ni a uknae kum 15, thapa yung pâthum navah Jerusalem kho dawk a kamkhueng awh.
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 Hatnae hnin dawk a lawp e maitotan 700, tu 7000 touh hoi BAWIPA koe thuengnae a sak awh.
They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
12 A lungthin hoi a hringnae abuemlah mintoenaw e BAWIPA Cathut tawng hane hoi,
They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 Isarelnaw e BAWIPA Cathut ka tawng ngaihoeh e tami bangpatethai thoseh, tami kathoung kalen, napui tongpa abuemlah koung thei hanelah lawkkamnae a sak awh.
and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 BAWIPA min lahoi hote lawkkamnae tarawi hanelah mongka hoi tuki kacaipounglah a ueng awh teh, thoebonae lahoi a hramki awh.
They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Judahnaw abuemlah hoi hote lawkkamnae dawk a lunghawi awh teh, lungthin abuemlah hoi lawkkamnae a sak awh teh a hringnae abuemlah hoi ama a tawng awh. Hahoi ama a hmu awh teh, BAWIPA ni hmuen tangkuem koe roumnae a poe.
All Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest all around.
16 Siangpahrang Asa e manu Maakah hai panuettho e meikaphawk Asherah a sak kecu dawkvah, siangpahrangnu dawk hoi a kâhat sak. Meikaphawk teh Asa ni koung ka rawm lah a hem teh, a raphoe hnukkhu, Kidron palang teng vah hmai a sawi.
Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.
17 Hatei, Isarel ram dawk e hmuenrasangnaw teh takhoe lah awm hoeh rah. Asa e lungthin teh a bawi nathung yuemkamcu e lah ao.
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 A na pa ni a poe e hnopainaw, ama ni a poe e hnopainaw sui hoi ngunnaw teh Cathut e im dawk a hruek.
He brought into God's house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Asa siangpahrang kum 35 touh a tawk. A tawk nathung tarankâtuknae banghai awm hoeh.
There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
