2 Chronicles 15
1 Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.
Nivotrak’ amy Azarià ana’ i Ovede t’i Arofon’ Añahare;
2 So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
le niavotse mb’eo hifanalaka amy Asa, le hoe re ama’e: Janjiño iraho ry Asa naho ry Iehoda miharo Beniamine iaby; indreza’ Iehovà kanao ireketa’ areo; itsoeho le ho isa’areo; f’ie aforintse’ areo le ho farie’e ka.
3 For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a priest to instruct them, and without the law.
Hatrela t’ie tsy aman’ Añahare to t’Israele naho tsy amam-pisoroñe mpañoke vaho tsy aman-Kàke;
4 But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them.
fe amy haembera’ iareo le nitolik’ am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, nipay vaho nahatendreke.
5 In those days there was no safety for travelers, because the residents of the lands had many conflicts.
Ie tañ’ andro izay tsy nanintsiñe ty niavotse ndra ty nimoake, fa hasotriam-bey ty nampilovilovi’ ze hene mpimone’ o taneo.
6 Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God afflicted them with all kinds of adversity.
Finofoke iereo, fifeheañe miatre-pifeheañe, rova miatre-rova; amy t’ie nametsahan’ Añahare ze atao hasotriañe.
7 But as for you, be strong; do not be discouraged, for your work will be rewarded.”
Fe mihaozara, ko apoke higebañe ty fità’ areo, fa ho tambezeñe o fitoloña’areoo.
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple.
Ie nahajanjiñe i tsara zay t’i Asa, i nitokia’ i Azarià ana’ i Ovede, mpitokiy, le nandrobo-batañe naho finao’e an-tane’ Iehodà naho e Beniamine iaby ze raha nampangorìñe, naho amo rova rinambe’e am-bohibohi’ i Efraimeo; vaho hinavao’e i kitreli’ Iehovà, aolo’ i lavaranga’ Iehovàiy.
9 And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
Le natonto’e iaby t’Iehodà naho i Beniamine naho o mpañialo ama’e boak’ Efraime naho e Menasè vaho e Simeoneo; fa maro ty nihintsañe am’ Israele ie nioni’ iereo te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’e.
10 So they gathered together in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
Aa le nifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao amy volam-paha-telo, amy taom-paha-folo-lim’ ambi’ i Asay,
11 At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back.
vaho nanao soroñe amy Iehovà amy andro zay, boak’ amy fikopahañe nendesa’ iareoy, añombe fiton-jato naho añondry fito-arivo;
12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.
le nifañina hitsoeke Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo, an-kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova,
13 And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
le havetrake ze tsy mipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, ke t’ie kedekede he te bey, ke lahilahy hera ampela.
14 They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns.
Aa le nifanta am-pazak’ am’ Iehovà iereo naho am-pamatsiañe vaho an-trompetra naho antsiva.
15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart. They had sought Him earnestly, and He was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.
Nandia taroba iaby t’Iehoda ty amy fantay, amy te nititiheñe an-kaampon’ arofo naho nitsotsehe’ iereo vaho nitendreke. Aa le nitsitsihe’ Iehovà fañanintsiñe.
16 King Asa also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
Nafaha’e tsy ho renem-panjaka ka t’i Maakà rene’ i Asa mpanjaka amy t’ie nandranjy sare tiva i Aserà; le finira’ i Asa i sare’e nampangorìñey naho dinemo’e ho deboke vaho noroa’e an-toraha’ i Kidrone ao.
17 The high places were not removed from Israel, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted all his days.
Toe tsy nafahañe am’ Israele o toets’ aboo; fe ni-ary ty arofo’ i Asa amo hene andro’eo.
18 And he brought into the house of God the silver and gold articles that he and his father had dedicated.
Le nindese’e añ’ anjomban’ Añahare ao o raha navìn-droae’e naho o raha navì’eo, volafoty naho volamena naho fanake.
19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
Vaho tsy aman’ aly i taney pak’ an-taom-pifehea’ i Asa faha-telopolo-lim’ amby.
