2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David; and Asa his son reigned in his place. 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 Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of YHWH his God:
Asa loh a Pathen BOEIPA mikhmuh ah hnothen neh a thuem ni a saii.
3 for he took away the foreign altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and cut down the Asherim,
Kholong hmueihtuk neh hmuensang te a khoe tih kaam te a phaek. Asherah khaw a top.
4 and commanded Judah to seek YHWH, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.
A napa rhoek kah Pathen BOEIPA toem ham neh a olkhueng neh a olpaek vai ham khaw Judah rhoek te a uen.
5 Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun images: and the kingdom was quiet before him.
Judah khopuei tom lamkah hmuensang neh bunglawn te a khoe tih a mikhmuh ah a ram khaw mong.
6 He built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years, because YHWH had given him rest.
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 For he said to Judah, "Let us build these cities, and make walls around them, with towers, gates, and bars. The land is still ours. Since we have sought YHWH our God, he has sought us and he has given us rest on every side." So they built and prospered.
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 Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred eighty thousand: all these were mighty men of valor.
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 There came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a million troops, and three hundred chariots; and he came to Mareshah.
Te phoeiah amih te Kushi Zerah loh tatthai thawng thawngkhat, leng ya thum neh a paan tih Mareshah la pawk.
10 Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
Te dongah Asa te a hmai ah cet tih Mareshah kah kolrhawk ah caemtloek rhong a pai.
11 Asa cried to YHWH his God, and said, "YHWH, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and those who have no strength. Help us, YHWH our God; for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. YHWH, you are our God. Do not let man prevail against you."
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 So YHWH struck the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; 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 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar: and there fell of the Ethiopians so many that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before YHWH, and before his army; and they carried away very much booty.
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 They struck all the cities around Gerar; for the fear of YHWH came on them: and they plundered all the cities; for there was a great amount of plunder in them.
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 They struck also the tents of livestock, and carried away sheep in abundance, and 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.
