2 Khokhuen 16

1 Asa ram kah sawmthum kum rhuk vaengah Israel manghai Baasha loh Judah te a paan tih Judah manghai Asa taengla kunael vuenva sak pawt ham Ramah te a sak.

In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

2 Asa loh cak neh sui te BOEIPA im neh manghai im kah thakvoh khui lamloh a poh tih Damasku ah kho aka sa Aram manghai Benhadad taengla a pat.

Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Jehovah and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,

3 “Paipi he kai laklo neh nang laklo ah, a pa laklo neh na pa laklo ah om tih nang hamla cak neh sui kam pat coeng ne. Israel manghai Baasha taengla cet lamtah na paipi phae laeh. Te vaengah kai taeng lamloh cet saeh,” a ti nah.

There is a league between me and thee, as between my father and thy father. Behold, I have sent thee silver and gold. Go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel that he may depart from me.

4 Te dongah Benhadad loh manghai Asa te a rhoi tih anih ham te Israel khopuei rhoek ah tatthai mangpa rhoek te a tueih pah. Te vaengah Ijon, Dan, Abelmaim neh Naphtali khopuei rhuengim te boeih a ngawn.

And Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel. And they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.

5 Baasha loh a yaak van neh Ramah a sak te a toeng tih a bitat te a paa sak.

And it came to pass, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.

6 Te vaengah manghai Asa loh Judah pum te a khuen tih Baasha loh a sak nah Ramah lungto neh thing te a phueih pah. Te nen te Geba neh Mizpah a sak.

Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber of it, with which Baasha had built. And he built Geba and Mizpah with it.

7 Te vaeng tue ah khohmu Hanani tah Judah manghai Asa taengla pawk tih anih te, “Aram manghai dongah na hangdang tih na Pathen BOEIPA dongah na hangdang pawh. Te dongah manghai Aram kah caem tah na kut lamloh loeih coeng.

And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, Because thou have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on Jehovah thy God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of thy hand.

8 Kushi neh Lubim khaw a cungkuem dongah tatthai la a om uh moenih a? Leng neh, marhang caem neh muep ping dae BOEIPA dongah na hangdang dongah ni amih te nang kut ah m'paek.

Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceedingly many? Yet, because thou relied on Jehovah, he delivered them into thy hand.

9 Amah taengah rhuemtuet la a thinko aka hong te moem hamla BOEIPA loh diklai pum ah a mik a van sak thikthuek. Tahae ah na pavai ngawn cakhaw tahae lamloh na taengah caemtloek om coeng,” a ti nah.

For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him. In this thou have done foolishly, for from henceforth thou shall have wars.

10 Tedae Asa te khohmu taengah hue a sak tih anih taengkah a thintoek ah anih te hloong im khuila a khueh. Te vaeng tue ah Asa loh pilnam te a neet.

Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison-house. For he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.

11 Asa olka a kung neh a dong he khaw Judah neh Israel kah manghai cabu khuiah a daek uh ne.

And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

12 Asa kah a ram te sawmthum kum ko vaengah anih te tloh loh a dom. A kho dongkah a tloh te a so duela a om pah. A tlohtat khuiah pataeng aka hoeih sak ham BOEIPA te a toem moenih.

And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great, yet in his disease he did not seek for Jehovah, but to the physicians.

13 Asa khaw a napa rhoek taengah khoem uh tih a manghai te sawmli kum khat a lo vaengah duek.

And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.

14 Anih te amah kah phuel ah ah a up uh. Te te amah loh David khopuei ah a vueh. Anih te thingkong dongah a yalh sak uh tih botui neh si bibi neh a comluem a thungnom tih a vuei. Anih ham hmai len muep a hueng uh.

And they buried him in his own sepulchers, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art. And they made a very great burning for him.
