2 Setouknae 16
1 Asa siangpahrang a bawinae kum 36 navah, Isarel siangpahrang Baasha ni Judahnaw a tuk teh, siangpahrang Asa koe apihai a kâen a tâco thai hoeh nahanlah Ramah kho a kangdue sak.
Then, in the thirty-sixth year of his reign, Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he encircled Ramah with a wall, so that no one could safely depart or enter from the kingdom of Asa.
2 Hatnavah, Asa ni BAWIPA e im hoi siangpahrang im dawk e sui, ngun, kaawm e pueng a la teh, Damaskas kho kaawm e Siria siangpahrang a patawn teh ahni koevah,
Therefore, Asa brought forth silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and from the treasuries of the king. And he sent to Benhadad, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:
3 lawkkamnae kai hoi nang rahak, apa hoi na pa rahak ao. Khenhaw! kai ni nang koe sui hoi ngun na patawn. Hatdawkvah, Isarel siangpahrang Baasha koe cet nateh, lawkkamnae raphoe nateh kai koe tho haw, '' telah lawk a thui.
“There is a pact between me and you. Also, my father and your father had an agreement. For this reason, I have sent silver and gold to you, so that you may break the pact that you have with Baasha, the king of Israel, and so that you may cause him to withdraw from me.”
4 Siangpahrang Benhadad ni siangpahrang Asa e lawk a tang teh, Isarel ram dawk e khopuinaw tuk hanelah ransabawinaw a patoun. Ijon, Dan, Abelman hoi Naphtali ram dawk e hnopai hrueknae khonaw pueng a tuk.
And when he verified this, Benhadad sent the leaders of his armies to the cities of Israel. And they struck Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Naphtali.
5 Baasha ni hote kamthang a thai toteh, Ramah kho a thawng lahun e a kâhat.
And when Baasha had heard of it, he ceased to build around Ramah, and he interrupted his work.
6 Hottelah siangpahrang Asa ni Judahnaw abuemlahoi a ceikhai teh, Baasha ni Ramah kho a thawng nahanelah talungnaw hoi thingnaw a rakueng e koung a la teh, Geba hoi Mizpah kho thawngnae koe a hno.
Then king Asa took all of Judah, and they carried away from Ramah the stones and the wood that Baasha had prepared for the things to be built. And he built up Gibeah and Mizpah with them.
7 Hatnavah profet Hanani teh Judah siangpahrang Asa koe a tho teh, ahni koevah, BAWIPA na Cathut na kângue laipalah, Siria siangpahrang na kângue. Hatdawkvah, Siria siangpahrang e ransanaw teh na kut dawk hoi koung a hlout toe.
In that time, the prophet Hanani went to Asa, the king of Judah, and he said to him: “Because you have faith in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped from your hand.
8 Ethiopia taminaw hoi Lubim taminaw teh ransanaw, ranglengnaw hoi marangransanaw nahoehmaw. Hatei, BAWIPA na kâuep dawkvah, ahni ni na kut dawk a hnawng
Were not the Ethiopians and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceedingly great multitude? Yet when you believed in the Lord, he delivered them into your hand.
9 Ama koe yuemkamcu e lungthin ka tawn e tami koevah, athakaawme taminaw a kamnue sak hanelah, talai van pueng dawk BAWIPA ni a mit hoi pou a radoung. Hete hno dawk pathu lahoi thaw na tawk dawkvah, atu hoi teh taran na tawn han toe telah atipouh.
For the eyes of the Lord contemplate the entire earth, and offer fortitude to those who believe in him with a perfect heart. And so, you acted foolishly. And so, because of this, from the present time wars shall rise up against you.”
10 Hahoi Asa teh profet koe a lungkhuek dawkvah, thongim a pabo. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a dei pouh e lawk kecu dawk a lung thouk a khuek. Hahoi Asa ni tami tangawn hai a rek.
And Asa was angry against the seer, and he ordered him to be sent into prison. For indeed, he had been very indignant over this. And in that time, he put to death very many of the people.
11 Asa thaw tawknae a kamtawng hoi a pout totouh e Judah hoi Isarel siangpahrangnaw e cauk dawk thut lah ao.
But the works of Asa, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Asa a bawinae kum 39 navah, a khok dawk patawnae a tawn teh, patawnae teh puenghoi a nut. Hatei patawnae dawk BAWIPA tawng laipalah tâsibawinaw dai a tawng.
And now Asa became ill, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, with a very severe pain in his feet. And yet, in his infirmity, he did not seek the Lord. Instead, he trusted more in the skill of physicians.
13 A uknae kum 41 touh navah, Asa teh mintoenaw koe a kâhat.
And he slept with his fathers. And he died in the forty-first year of his reign.
14 Devit khopui dawk ama hanelah a ran e phuen dawk a pakawp awh. Hmuitui kasaknaw ni aphunphun dawk a sak awh e ikhun dawk a yan sak. Barinae lah hmaikonpui a patawi sak awh.
And they buried him in his own sepulcher, which he had made for himself in the City of David. And they placed him upon his bed, full of the aromatics and ointments of courtesans, which were composed with the skill of the perfumers. And they burned these over him with very great ostentation.
