2 Chronicles 15
1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
Oded capa Azariah te a soah Pathen mueihla a om pah.
2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. Jehovah 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.
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 Now for a long time Israel was 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 But when in their distress they turned to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was 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 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.
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 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
Pathen loh amih te citcai cungkuem neh a khawkkhek coeng dongah, namtom neh namtom, khopuei neh khopuei khaw phop uh thae.
7 But you be strong, and do not let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded."
Tedae nangmih tah thaahuel uh lamtah na kut kha sak boeh. Na thaphu hamla thapang om coeng,” a ti nah.
8 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 Jehovah, that was before the vestibule of Jehovah.
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 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 Jehovah his God was 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 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in 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 They sacrificed to Jehovah in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle 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 They entered into the covenant to seek Jehovah, the 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 that whoever would not seek Jehovah, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
Israel Pathen BOEIPA te aka toem pawt boeih tah, tanoe kangham khaw, tongpa huta khaw a duek sak.
14 They swore to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
BOEIPA taengah ol a len neh, tamlung neh, olueng neh, tuki neh a toemngam uh.
15 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 Jehovah gave them rest 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 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.
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 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was 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 He brought into God's house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, 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 There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
Asa kah ram te kum sawmthum kum nga duela caemtloeknah a om moenih.
