2 Thusimbu 15
1 Obed chapa Azariah chunga Pathen Lhagao ahung chun,
The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
2 Lengpa Asa galmun’a kon hung vailhung chun, Lengpa kimuto pi dingin apotdoh tan ahi. Neihin ngaipeh temin Asa tin agah asamin ahi. Ngaitemin, nangho Judah le Benjamin phunga mite ho! Pakai chu nanghon naumpi laiseuva aman naum pidiu ahi. Nanghon nahol laiseuva ama chu namu diu, ahinlah nanghon nadalhah uva ahileh aman jong nadalhah diu ahi.
and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD 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.
3 Phat saotah pi Israel chu Pathen dihtah nei louva ahildiu themgao bei’a chule ajuidingu dan thu bei’a anaum-u ahitai.
Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 Ahinlah boina hahsatna ahinto phat ule, Pakai Israel Pathen henga ahungki nung heikit uva; chule ama chu ahin hol phat ule amahon ama chu amudoh kit jiuve.
But when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5 Chuche lungjin naphat ho sung chun kholjinna chele vale dingin lungmon aum jipon ahi.
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.
6 Gamkhat in Gamkhat dounan gal akisat tou jiuvin ahi. Ajeh chu Pathen in boina tintang jouse toh tho’a asuhgim jiu ahi,
They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
7 Ahinlah nangvang hatnin lang hang in, ajeh chu na natoh man, kipa man nasan ding ahi.
But you be strong, and do not let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded."
8 Asa chun Themgao Azariah konna hiche thu chu ajah doh phat hin, ahung hangsan tan Judah le Benjamin gamsunga chule Ephraim thinglhang gam'a analah’u khopi hoa thet umtah lim semthu ho chu abonchan asumang tan ahi. Chule Pakai Houin mai’a um lutle potle na indan sunga, Pakai maicham chu athah semphat kit tan ahi.
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 the LORD, that was before the vestibule of the LORD.
9 Chuin Asa chun Judah le Benjamin phunga mijouse, amaho to chengkhom Ephraim, Mannaseh le Simeon phunga mijouse chutoh akou khom soh kei tan ahi. Asa vaipoh sung chun amaho Pakai a-Pathen un aumpi chu amu doh phat uchun Israel gam'a konin, mi tamtah Judah gam'a chun ahung kichao lut tauvin ahi.
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 the LORD his God was with him.
10 Asa vaipoh sung kum somle nga lhin kum chavang kichai kon chun, mipi chu Jerusalema akikhom uvin ahi.
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 Chuche nichun Pakaiya dingin bong ja sagi le kelngoi sang sagi chule galmunna ahinpohlut’u kelcha ho chu Pakai angsunga chun athatnun maicham thilton akat doh tauvin ahi.
They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
12 Chuin amaho alung thim pumpi alhagao pumpiu vin Pakai a-Pathen’u holnan kitepna khat asemdoh tauvin ahi.
They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 Koi hileh ateh akhang hijongleh Pakai Israel Pathen holnom lou chu, thalih jeng dingin akinopto uvin ahi.
and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 Sumkon gin peh lah lah le kelngoi ki kikhet gintoh thon, Pakaiya kitahna nei dingin akihah selnau aw sangtah in asamun ahi.
They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 A lungthim pumpiuva asemmu ahijeh chun, Judah gamsunga mijouse chu hiche kitepna chunga alunglhai soh keijun ahi. Ngaichatna neitah’a Pathen ahol’u ahijeh chun Pakaiyin alang langa agalmi teuva konin choldona apeuvin ahi.
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 the LORD gave them rest all around.
16 Asa Lengpa chun apinu Maacah jeng tah jong chu Lengnu ahina muna konin anodoh in ahi. Ajeh chu amanu chun thujahmo Asherah khom anasem ahi, Asa chu apinun thujahmo khom asem chu asat lhan ajepchip in Kedron phaicham a chun ahalvamtan ahi.
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.
17 Israel gam sunga doikhom, doihouna munho akisuhmang louvang chun; ahinkho lhung keijin Asa lungthim chu kitahna lhingset in aum jinge.
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 Ama le apan ana lhandoh sana le dangka chule thil jatchom chom ho chu, Pathen Houin sunga ahinpolut in ahi.
He brought into God's house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Hitichun Asa lengvaipoh kum somthum le kum nga chan chun gal kiti ana umtapoi.
There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
