2 Weche Mag Ndalo 15
1 Roho mar Nyasaye nolor kuom Azaria wuod Oded.
And Azarias the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,
2 Nodhi moromo kod Asa mowachone niya, “Chikuru itu mondo uwinja, in Asa gi jo-Juda duto kod jo-Benjamin. Jehova Nyasaye nikodu ka un bende un kode, kudware to ununwangʼe, to kujwangʼe to en bende nojwangʼu.
and he went out to meet Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin. The Lord [is] with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him out, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Kuom kinde marabora jo-Israel ne onge gi Nyasaye ma adier kaachiel gi jadolo mane nyalo puonjogi kendo ne gionge gi chik.
And Israel [has been] a long time without the true God, and without a priest to expound [the truth], and without the law.
4 To kane gin e thagruok ne giywakne Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel ka gimanye mine giyude.
But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.
5 E ndalogo ne ok yot mondo ngʼato owuothi ma ok onwangʼo chandruok e yo, ma ne timore nikech jopiny duto nopongʼ gi chandruok.
And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands.
6 Oganda moro ne kedo gi oganda machielo kendo dala moro bende ne kedo gi dala moro, nikech Nyasaye nooronigi chandruok mangʼeny.
And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every [kind of] affliction.
7 Un to beduru motegno kendo chunyu kik ol nimar nochulu kuom tiju.”
But be you strong, and let not your hands be weakened: for there is a reward for your work.
8 Kane Asa owinjo wechegi to gi koro mar janabi Azaria wuod Oded, notimo chir mogolo nyiseche manono e piny Juda kod Benjamin duto kod mier duto manokawo e gode matindo mag Efraim. Noloso kendo mar misango mar Jehova Nyasaye mane okethore mane nitie e nyim agola mar hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And when [Asa] heard these words, and the prophesy of Adad the prophet, then he strengthened himself, and cast out the abominations from all the land of Juda and Benjamin, and from the cities which Jeroboam possessed, in mount Ephraim, and he renewed the altar of the Lord, which was before the temple of the Lord.
9 Bangʼe nochoko jo-Juda duto kod jo-Benjamin kaachiel gi jo-Efraim, jo-Manase kod jo-Simeon manodak e kindgi nimar ji mangʼeny noweyo jo-Israel mobiro ire kane gineno ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasache nenikode.
And he assembled Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers that lived with him, of Ephraim, and of Manasse, and of Symeon: for many of Israel were joined to him, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 Negichokore Jerusalem e dwe mar adek e hik loch Asa mar apar gabich.
And they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 Chiengʼno negitimone Jehova Nyasaye misango gi dhok mia abiriyo kod rombe kod diek alufu abiriyo mane gin gik mane giyako.
And he sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils which they brought, seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.
12 Negitimo singruok ni gibiro manyo Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach kweregi gi chunygi kod ngimagi duto.
And he entered into a covenant that they should seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.
13 Jogo duto ma ok noluw Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach jo-Israel, obed ngʼama tin kata maduongʼ, obed dichwo kata dhako nonegi.
And that whoever should not seek the Lord God of Israel, should die, whether young or old, whether man or woman.
14 Negitimo winjruok gi Jehova Nyasaye ka gikok gi dwol maduongʼ, ka gigoyo koko gi turumbete kod tungʼ.
And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Jo-Juda duto nomor kod singruokno nikech negisingore gi chunygi duto. Negimanyo Nyasaye gi chuny achiel kendo negiyude. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nomiyogi kwe kuonde duto.
And all Juda rejoiced concerning the oath: for they swore with all their heart, and they sought him with all their desires; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.
16 Ruoth Asa nogolo damare Maaka e kome mane entie kaka min ruoth nikech noloso sirni milamo mar Ashera. Asa nongʼado yien-no mokinge matindo tindo mowangʼe e holo mar Kidron.
And he removed Maacha his mother from being priestess to Astarte; and he cut down the idol, and burnt it in the brook of Kedron.
17 Kata obedo ni Asa ne ok oketho kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo e Israel, chunye nochiwore chutho ni Jehova Nyasaye ndalo duto mag ngimane.
Nevertheless they removed not the high places: they still existed in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 Nokelo gige dhahabu gi fedha kod mula e hekalu mar Nyasaye ma en owuon gi wuon mare nosepwodho.
And he brought in the holy things of David his father, and the holy things of the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Ne onge lweny kendo nyaka higa mar piero adek gabich mar loch Asa.
And there was no war [waged] with him until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
