2 Chronicles 15
1 And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,
At ang espiritu ng Dios ay suma kay Azarias na anak ni Obed:
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
At siya'y lumabas na sinalubong si Asa, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Dinggin ninyo ako, Asa, at buong Juda at Benjamin: ang Panginoon ay sumasa inyo samantalang kayo'y sumasa kaniya: at kung inyong hanapin siya, siya'y masusumpungan ninyo; nguni't kung pabayaan ninyo siya, kaniyang pababayaan kayo.
3 And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law.
Ngayon nga ang Israel ay malaon nang walang Dios na tunay at walang tagapagturong saserdote, at walang kautusan:
4 And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him.
Nguni't nang sa kanilang kapanglawan ay nagsipagbalik sila sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, at hinanap nila siya, siya'y nasumpungan nila.
5 At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth.
At nang mga panahong yaon ay walang kapayapaan sa kaniya na lumabas, o sa kaniya na pumasok, kundi malaking ligalig ang nangasa lahat ng mga nananahan sa mga lupain.
6 For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.
At sila'y nagkapangkatpangkat, bansa laban sa bansa, at bayan laban sa bayan: sapagka't niligalig sila ng Dios ng buong kapighatian.
7 Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall be a reward for your work.
Nguni't mangagpakalakas kayo, at huwag manglata ang inyong mga kamay; sapagka't ang inyong mga gawa ay gagantihin.
8 And when Asa had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch of the Lord.
At nang marinig ni Asa ang mga salitang ito, at ang hula ni Obed na propeta, siya'y lumakas, at inalis ang mga karumaldumal sa buong lupain ng Juda at ng Benjamin, at sa mga bayan na kaniyang sinakop sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim; at kaniyang binago ang dambana ng Panginoon, na nasa harap ng portiko ng Panginoon.
9 And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.
At kaniyang pinisan ang buong Juda at Benjamin, at silang mga nakikipamayan na kasama nila mula sa Ephraim at Manases, at mula sa Simeon; sapagka't sila'y nagsihilig sa kaniya na mula sa Israel na sagana, nang kanilang makita na ang Panginoon niyang Dios ay sumasa kaniya.
10 And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
Sa gayo'y nangagpipisan sila sa Jerusalem sa ikatlong buwan, sa ikalabing limang taon ng paghahari ni Asa.
11 They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams.
At sila'y nagsipaghain sa Panginoon sa araw na yaon, sa samsam na kanilang dinala, na pitong daang baka at pitong libong tupa.
12 And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul.
At sila'y pumasok sa tipan upang hanapin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, ng kanilang buong puso, at ng kanilang buong kaluluwa.
13 And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman.
At sinomang hindi humanap sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, ay papatayin, maging maliit o malaki, maging lalake o babae.
14 And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets,
At sila'y nagsisumpa sa Panginoon ng malakas na tinig, at may mga hiyawan, at may mga pakakak, at may mga patunog.
15 All that mere in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about.
At ang buong Juda ay nagalak sa sumpa: sapagka't sila'y nagsisumpa ng kanilang buong puso, at hinanap siya ng buo nilang nasa; at siya'y nasumpungan sa kanila: at binigyan sila ng Panginoon ng kapahingahan sa palibot.
16 Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron.
At si Maacha naman na ina ni Asa na hari, ay inalis niya sa pagkareina, sapagka't siya'y gumawa ng nakasusuklam na larawan na pinaka Asera; at pinutol ni Asa ang kaniyang larawan, at ginawang alabok, at sinunog sa batis ng Cedron.
17 But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Nguni't ang mga mataas na dako ay hindi inalis sa Israel: gayon ma'y ang puso ni Asa ay sakdal sa lahat ng kaniyang mga kaarawan.
18 And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses.
At kaniyang ipinasok sa bahay ng Dios ang mga bagay na itinalaga ng kaniyang ama, at yaon mang kaniyang itinalaga, na pilak, at ginto, at mga sisidlan.
19 And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.
At nawalan na ng digma sa ikatatlong pu't limang taon ng paghahari ni Asa.
