¹In the six and thirtieth 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.

¹Asa kum sawmthum leh kum guk a lal kumin Israel kumpipa Baasain Judate a suala, Juda kumpipa kianga lut dingin leh pawt dingin dalna dingin Rama khua a bawl hi.

²Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of Yahweh and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at Damascus, saying,

²Huchiin Asain TOUPA in leh kumpipa ina gou dangkasik leh dangkaeng te ala khiaa, damaskaa Suria kumpipa Benhadad kiangah.

³“Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.”

³Ka pa leh napa kala thukhun a om bangmahin I kalah thukhun a oma, ngaidih, dangkasik leh dangkaeng ka honkhak ahi; kisa dih, Israel kumpipa Baasain a hontawpsan nadingin a kiangah na thukhun phel nawn mai ve, chiin a khak a.

⁴Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.

⁴Huan, Benhadadin kumpipa Asa thu a napoma; huchiin Israel khuate sual dingin sepaih heutute a sawla, Ijon khua te, dan khua te, Abelmain khua te, Naphtali gama van koihna khua tengteng a sual uhi.

⁵It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.

⁵Huan, hichi ahi a, Baasain huai thu a najakin Rama khua a bawl lai a khawlsana, thilhih tup a ki khel sakta hi.

⁶Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

⁶Huchiin, kumpipa Asain Juda mi tengteng apia. Baasain Rama kho bawl nadinga suang leh sing a zatte a la vek ua, huaitein Geba leh Mizpa khua a bawl.

⁷At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on Yahweh your God, therefore is the army of the king of Syria escaped out of your hand.

⁷Huan, huai laiin jawlnei Hanani Juda kumpipa Asa kiangah a honga, a kiangah, TOUPA na pathian muanglouin Suria kumpipa na muanga, huaijiakin Suria kumpipa sepaih honte na khahte ahi hi.

⁸Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? Yet, because you relied on Yahweh, he delivered them into your hand.

⁸Ethiopiate leh Lubte sepaih hon lian tak, kangtalai leh sakol tung tuangmite tampi ahi kei umaw? himahleh TOUPA na muan jiakin na khutah a honpia ahi.

⁹For the eyes of Yahweh run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from henceforth you shall have wars.”

⁹A lama lungsim diktat pumite tunga a hatdan hihlang dingin khovel tengtengah TOUPA mit a vak dundun sek ahi. Haihuai mahmahin thil nahih a hita; tuaban siah dou na nei gigeta ding a chi a.

¹⁰Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.

¹⁰Huchiin, Asa bel jawlnei tungah a heha, suangkulhah a khumtaa; a thu gen jiakin a heh mahmah mai hi. Huan Asain mi khenkhatte leng a simmoh behlap lai hi.

¹¹Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

¹¹Huan ngaidih ua, Asa tanchin a bul a kipana a tawp phain Juda leh Israel kumpipate tanchin gelhna bu ah a tuang ahi.

¹²In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he didn’t seek Yahweh, but to the physicians.

¹²Huan, kum sawmthum leh kum kua a lal kumin Asa bel a khe a hongnataa; a natna thupi tak ahi; himahleh a natnaah TOUPA zong louin damdawi siamte a zong jawa.

¹³Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

¹³Huan, Asa bel a pi leh pute kiangah a ihmua, kum sawmli leh kum khat a lal kumin a si a.Huan, David khopia amah tuama khuak, amah hanah a vui ua, gimlim lim tak, gimlim bawlmiten gimlim chi tuam tuam a bawl ua dim lupnaah a sial ua, amah tuam dingin meipi thupi mahmah a sep uh.

¹⁴They buried him in his own tombs, which he had dug 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.

¹⁴Huan, David khopia amah tuama khuak, amah hanah a vui ua, gimlim lim tak, gimlim bawlmiten gimlim chi tuam tuam a bawl ua dim lupnaah a sial ua, amah tuam dingin meipi thupi mahmah a sep uh.
