< 2 Chronicles 14 >
1 And Abia 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.
Abijah he a napa rhoek taengla a khoem uh vaengah tah anih te David khopuei ah a up uh. Te phoeiah a capa Asa anih yueng la manghai. Anih tue vaengkah kum rha khui ah khohmuen khaw mong.
2 And Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
Asa loh a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hnothen neh a thuem ni a saii.
3 And broke the statues, and cut down the groves.
Kholong hmueihtuk neh hmuensang te a khoe tih kaam te a phaek. Asherah khaw a top.
4 And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.
A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA toem ham neh a olkhueng neh a olpaek vai ham khaw Judah rhoek te a uen.
5 And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.
Judah khopuei tom lamkah hmuensang neh bunglawn te a khoe tih a mikhmuh ah a ram khaw mong.
6 He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace.
Khohmuen te a mong dongah Judah kah kasam khopuei rhoek te a sak. Anih te BOEIPA loh a duem sak dongah te vaeng tue ah a taengah caemtloeknah om pawh.
7 And he said to Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building.
Te phoeiah Judah rhoek taengah, “Khopuei rhoek he sa uh sih lamtah vongtung neh rhaltoengim khaw, thohkhaih neh thohkalh khaw buen uh sih. Mamih kah Pathen BOEIPA te n'toem uh dongah khohmuen he mamih mikhmuh ah mong pueng. N'toem uh bangla a kaepvai taengah mamih he m'duem sak,” a ti nah. Te dongah a sak uh tangloeng tih thaihtak uh.
8 And Asa had in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men.
Judah lamkah photlinglen neh cai aka muk tatthai thawng ya thum te Asa taengah om bal. Benjamin lamloh photling aka bai tih lii aka phu, tatthai hlangrhalh boeih he thawng yahnih thawng sawmrhet lo.
9 And Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa.
Te phoeiah amih te Kushi Zerah loh tatthai thawng thawngkhat, leng ya thum neh a paan tih Mareshah la pawk.
10 And Asa went out to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa:
Te dongah Asa te a hmai ah cet tih Mareshah kah kolrhawk ah caemtloek rhong a pai.
11 And he called upon the Lord God, and said: O Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name, we are come against this multitude. O Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee.
Te vaengah Asa loh amah kah Pathen BOEIPA te a khue tih, “Aw BOEIPA, thadueng aka tal te boeiping laklo ah bom ham khaw namah bang a om moenih. Kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA aw kaimih m'bom lah. Namah dongah ka hangdang uh tih namah ming nen ni he hlangping taengla ka pawk uh. Namah te kaimih kah Pathen BOEIPA ni, namah taengah tah hlanghing loh ueh mahpawh,” a ti nah.
12 And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: and the Ethiopians fled.
Te dongah BOEIPA loh Kushi te Asa mikhmuh neh Judah mikhmuh ah a yawk sak tih Kushi rhoek te rhaelrham uh.
13 And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils,
Amih te Asa neh a taengkah pilnam loh Gerar hil duela a hloem tih Kushi lamloh a cungku sak. Amih te hinglu hlawtnah a om pawt hil BOEIPA mikhmuh neh a caem mikhmuh ah a khah coeng tih kutbuem khaw a yet la muep a phueih uh.
14 And they took all the cities round about Gerara: for a great fear was come upon all men: and they pillaged the cities, and carried off much booty.
Te vaengah amih soah BOEIPA taengkah birhihnah a om dongah Gerar kaepvai khopuei boeih te a ngawn uh. A khuiah kutbuem muep a om dongah khopuei tom te a poelyoe uh.
15 And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.
Boiva kah dap khaw a ngawn uh dongah boiva neh kalauk te a cungkuem la a sol uh tih Jerusalem la mael uh.
