2 Chronicles 15
1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
Angraeng ih Muithla loe Oded capa Azariah nuiah angzoh;
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.
Azariah loe Asa siangpahrang tongh hanah caeh, anih khaeah, Asa siangpahrang, Judahnawk hoi Benjamin kaminawk boih, ka lok hae tahngai oh; Angraeng khaeah na oh o nahaeloe, Angraeng doeh nangcae khaeah om tih; anih to na pakrong o nahaeloe, na hnu o tih; toe anih to na pahnawt o nahaeloe, anih mah doeh na pahnawt o toeng tih.
3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
Atue paroeai thung Israel kaminawk loe Sithaw tangtang tawn o ai, patukkung qaima tawn o ai moe, daan doeh tawn ai ah khosak o.
4 But when in their distress they turned to Jehovah, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
Toe patangkhang o naah loe, Israel Angraeng Sithaw khaeah amlaem o let; anih to pakrong o naah nihcae mah hnuk o.
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.
To nathuem ah kholong caeh kaminawk hanah, monghaih roe om ai; prae thung boih ah poek anghmanghaih to oh.
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
Sithaw mah congca patangkhanghaih hoi raihaih to paek pongah, prae maeto hoi maeto, vangpui maeto hoi maeto misa angthawk o.
7 But you be strong, and do not let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded."
Toe nangcae mah tha pathok oh, bantha zok o sak hmah; na sak o ih tok baktih toengah tangqum na hnu o tih, tiah a naa.
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.
Asa mah hae loknawk hoi tahmaa Oded mah thuih ih lok to thaih naah, tha ohsak moe, Judah prae, Benjamin prae hoi Ephraim mae nuiah lak ih vangpuinawk thung boih hoiah, panuet thok krangnawk to vah king; anih mah Angraeng im hmaa ah kaom, Angraeng ih hmaicam to pathoep let.
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.
To pacoengah Judah kaminawk, Benjamin kaminawk, Ephraim kaminawk, Manaseh kaminawk hoi Simeon kaminawk to nawnto amkhuengsak boih; Asa khaeah Angraeng Sithaw oh, tiah Israel kaminawk boih mah panoek o naah, anih khaeah angzoh o.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
Asa siangpahrang ah ohhaih saning hatlaipangato haih, khrah thumto naah, Jerusalem vangpui ah amkhueng o.
11 They sacrificed to Jehovah in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
Misa khae hoi lak o ih maitaw cumvai sarihto hoi tuu sang sarihto Angraeng khaeah angbawnhaih ah paek o.
12 They entered into the covenant to seek Jehovah, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
Angmacae poekhaih palungthin boih hoiah ampanawk ih Angraeng Sithaw to pakrong hanah lokmaihaih thungah akun o;
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.
mi kawbaktih doeh Israel Angraeng Sithaw pakrong ai kami loe, kathoeng kalen tih ai, nongpa nongpata tih ai, paduek han oh tiah,
14 They swore to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Angraeng khaeah tha hoi hanghaih, mongkah ueng moe, tuu taki bohhaih hoiah lokkamhaih a sak o.
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.
Nihcae loe palungthin boih hoi lokkam o pongah, Judah kaminawk boih anghoe o; koehhaih palungthin hoiah Angraeng to pakrong o pongah, Anih to hnuk o; Angraeng mah nihcae hanah ahmuen kruek hoi monghaih to paek.
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.
Siangpahrang Asa ih amsae nongpata Makaah mah Asherah thingkung tlim ah panuet thok krang to sak pongah, siangpahrang nongpata ah angdoethaih ahmuen hoiah takhoe ving; Asa mah krang to pakhoih pae boih, khok hoiah atit pae moe, Kidron ah hmai hoiah a thlaek.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Toe Israel prae thung hoiah hmuensangnawk to takhoe boih ai, toe Asa loe a hing thung Angraeng khaeah poekhaih to paek.
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.
Angmah hoi ampa mah paek ih sui, sumkanglung hoi laom sabaenawk to Angraeng im thungah a sin boih.
19 There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
Asa singpahrang ah ohhaih saning quithum, pangato thung prae thungah misa angtukhaih om ai.
