2 Chronicles 15
1 And the Spirit of God has been on Azariah son of Oded,
Oded capa Azariah te a soah Pathen mueihla a om pah.
2 and he goes out before Asa and says to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; YHWH [is] with you—in your being with Him, and if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He forsakes you;
Te dongah Asa mikhmuh la cet tih amah taengah, “Asa neh Judah boeih neh Benjamin loh kai ol hnatun. Amah taengah na om uh ham ni nangmih taengah BOEIPA a om. Amah na toem uh atah nangmih taengah phoe ni. Tedae amah te na hnawt uh atah nangmih te n'hnawt ni.
3 and many days [are] to Israel without [the] true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
Kum te yet te Israel khuiah oltak Pathen tal coeng tih aka thuinuet kung khosoih khaw tal coeng, olkhueng khaw tal coeng.
4 and it turns back in its distress to YHWH, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found by them,
Tedae a rhal khuiah Israel Pathen BOEIPA taengla mael tih amah te a tlap uh dongah amih taengah a phoe pah.
5 and in those times there is no peace for him who is going out, and for him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
Te vaeng tue ah tah aka kunael neh aka vuenva ham khaw ngaimongnah a om moenih. Khohmuen kah khosa boeih taengah soekloeknah ping coeng.
6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God has troubled them with every adversity;
Pathen loh amih te citcai cungkuem neh a khawkkhek coeng dongah, namtom neh namtom, khopuei neh khopuei khaw phop uh thae.
7 and you, be strong, and do not let your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.”
Tedae nangmih tah thaahuel uh lamtah na kut kha sak boeh. Na thaphu hamla thapang om coeng,” a ti nah.
8 And at Asa’s hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he has strengthened himself, and causes the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he has captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and renews the altar of YHWH that [is] before the porch of YHWH,
Te ol neh tonghma Oded kah tonghma ol te Asa loh a yaak vaengah thaa a huel. Sarhingkoi te Judah neh Benjamin khohmuen pum lamloh, Ephraim tlang kah a loh khopuei rhoek lamloh a khoe. BOEIPA ngalha hmai kah BOEIPA hmueihtuk te khaw a tlaih.
9 and gathers all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon—for they have defected to him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that his God YHWH [is] with him.
Te phoeiah Judah pum neh Benjamin khaw, amih taengah aka bakuep Ephraim neh Manasseh lamkah khaw Simeon lamkah khaw a coi. Anih kah Pathen BOEIPA tah anih taengah om tila a hmuh uh vaengah tah Israel lamloh anih taengah a pum la cungku uh.
10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
Te dongah Asa ram kah kum hlai nga a hla thum vaengah tah Jerusalem la tingtun uh.
11 and sacrifice to YHWH on that day from the spoil they have brought in—seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep,
Te khohnin ah tah BOEIPA te a nawn uh tih kutbuem khui lamkah saelhung ya rhih neh boiva thawng rhih a khuen uh.
12 and they enter into a covenant to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,
A napa Pathen BOEIPA te a thinko boeih neh, a hinglu boeih neh toem hamla paipi khuila kun uh.
13 and everyone who does not seek for YHWH, God of Israel, is put to death, from small to great, from man to woman.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA te aka toem pawt boeih tah, tanoe kangham khaw, tongpa huta khaw a duek sak.
14 And they swear to YHWH with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns,
BOEIPA taengah ol a len neh, tamlung neh, olueng neh, tuki neh a toemngam uh.
15 and all Judah rejoices concerning the oath, for they have sworn with all their heart, and they have sought Him with all their goodwill, and He is found by them, and YHWH gives rest to them all around.
A thinko boeih neh a toemngam uh dongah olhlo soah Judah pum loh omngaih uh. Amamih kah kolonah boeih neh amah te a tlap uh dongah amih taengah a phoe pah. Te dongah BOEIPA loh amih te a kaepvai ah a duem sak.
16 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king—he has removed her from [being] mistress, in that she has made for an Asherah a horrible thing, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and beats [it] small, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron:
Manghai Asa loh manu aMaakah pataeng khaw Asherah rhobuk a saii dongah manghainu lamloh a khoe. Anih kah rhobuk te Asa loh a tloek pah tih a tip phoeiah tah Kidron soklong ah a hoeh.
17 yet the high places have not been removed from Israel; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect all his days.
Hmuensang te Israel lamloh khoe uh pawt mai cakhaw amah tue khuiah tah Asa kah thinko he rhuemtuet la om.
18 And he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God: silver, and gold, and vessels.
A napa kah hnocim neh amah kah hnocim khaw, cak khaw, sui khaw, hnopai khaw BOEIPA im la a khuen.
19 And war has not been until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Asa kah ram te kum sawmthum kum nga duela caemtloeknah a om moenih.
