وَكَانَ رُوحُ ٱللهِ عَلَى عَزَرْيَا بْنِ عُودِيدَ، ١ 1
And the Spirit of God has been on Azariah son of Oded,
فَخَرَجَ لِلِقَاءِ آسَا وَقَالَ لَهُ: «ٱسْمَعُوا لِي يَا آسَا وَجَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ. ٱلرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ مَعَهُ، وَإِنْ طَلَبْتُمُوهُ يُوجَدْ لَكُمْ، وَإِنْ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ يَتْرُكْكُمْ. ٢ 2
and he goes out before Asa and says to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; YHWH [is] with you—in your being with Him, and if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He forsakes you;
وَلِإِسْرَائِيلَ أَيَّامٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِلَا إِلَهٍ حَقٍّ وَبِلَا كَاهِنٍ مُعَلِّمٍ وَبِلَا شَرِيعَةٍ. ٣ 3
and many days [are] to Israel without [the] true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا رَجَعُوا عِنْدَمَا تَضَايَقُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَطَلَبُوهُ وُجِدَ لَهُمْ. ٤ 4
and it turns back in its distress to YHWH, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found by them,
وَفِي تِلْكَ ٱلْأَزْمَانِ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَمَانٌ لِلْخَارِجِ وَلَا لِلدَّاخِلِ، لِأَنَّ ٱضْطِرَابَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً كَانَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ ٱلْأَرَاضِي. ٥ 5
and in those times there is no peace for him who is going out, and for him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
فَأُفْنِيَتْ أُمَّةٌ بِأُمَّةٍ وَمَدِينَةٌ بِمَدِينَةٍ، لِأَنَّ ٱللهَ أَزْعَجَهُمْ بِكُلِّ ضِيقٍ. ٦ 6
and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God has troubled them with every adversity;
فَتَشَدَّدُوا أَنْتُمْ وَلَا تَرْتَخِ أَيْدِيكُمْ لِأَنَّ لِعَمَلِكُمْ أَجْرًا». ٧ 7
and you, be strong, and do not let your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.”
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ آسَا هَذَا ٱلْكَلَامَ وَنُبُوَّةَ عُودِيدَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ، تَشَدَّدَ وَنَزَعَ ٱلرَّجَاسَاتِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَمِنَ ٱلْمُدُنِ ٱلَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَجَدَّدَ مَذْبَحَ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّذِي أَمَامَ رِوَاقِ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٨ 8
And at Asa’s hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he has strengthened himself, and causes the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he has captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and renews the altar of YHWH that [is] before the porch of YHWH,
وَجَمَعَ كُلَّ يَهُوذَا وَبَنْيَامِينَ وَٱلْغُرَبَاءَ مَعَهُمْ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى وَمِنْ شِمْعُونَ، لِأَنَّهُمْ سَقَطُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَثْرَةٍ حِينَ رَأَوْا أَنَّ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ مَعَهُ. ٩ 9
and gathers all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon—for they have defected to him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that his God YHWH [is] with him.
فَٱجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلثَّالِثِ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِمُلْكِ آسَا، ١٠ 10
And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
وَذَبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ مِنَ ٱلْغَنِيمَةِ ٱلَّتِي جَلَبُوا سَبْعَ مِئَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْبَقَرِ، وَسَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ مِنَ ٱلضَّأْنِ. ١١ 11
and sacrifice to YHWH on that day from the spoil they have brought in—seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep,
وَدَخَلُوا فِي عَهْدٍ أَنْ يَطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَكُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ. ١٢ 12
and they enter into a covenant to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,
حَتَّى إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ لَا يَطْلُبُ ٱلرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُقْتَلُ مِنَ ٱلصَّغِيرِ إِلَى ٱلْكَبِيرِ، مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاءِ. ١٣ 13
and everyone who does not seek for YHWH, God of Israel, is put to death, from small to great, from man to woman.
وَحَلَفُوا لِلرَّبِّ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَهُتَافٍ وَبِأَبْوَاقٍ وَقُرُونٍ. ١٤ 14
And they swear to YHWH with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns,
وَفَرِحَ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ ٱلْحَلْفِ، لِأَنَّهُمْ حَلَفُوا بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ، وَطَلَبُوهُ بِكُلِّ رِضَاهُمْ فَوُجِدَ لَهُمْ، وَأَرَاحَهُمُ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ. ١٥ 15
and all Judah rejoices concerning the oath, for they have sworn with all their heart, and they have sought Him with all their goodwill, and He is found by them, and YHWH gives rest to them all around.
حَتَّى إِنَّ مَعْكَةَ أُمَّ آسَا ٱلْمَلِكِ خَلَعَهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكَةً لِأَنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ لِسَارِيَةٍ تِمْثَالًا، وَقَطَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَدَقَّهُ وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ. ١٦ 16
And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king—he has removed her from [being] mistress, in that she has made for an Asherah a horrible thing, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and beats [it] small, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron:
وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ فَلَمْ تُنْزَعْ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. إِلَّا أَنَّ قَلْبَ آسَا كَانَ كَامِلًا كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ. ١٧ 17
yet the high places have not been removed from Israel; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect all his days.
وَأَدْخَلَ أَقْدَاسَ أَبِيهِ وَأَقْدَاسَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ ٱللهِ مِنَ ٱلْفِضَّةِ وَٱلذَّهَبِ وَٱلْآنِيَةِ. ١٨ 18
And he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God: silver, and gold, and vessels.
وَلَمْ تَكُنْ حَرْبٌ إِلَى ٱلسَّنَةِ ٱلْخَامِسَةِ وَٱلثَّلَاثِينَ لِمُلْكِ آسَا. ١٩ 19
And war has not been until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
