2 Chronicles 15
1 The Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
Hafuurri Waaqaa Azaariyaa ilma Oodeed irra ni buʼe.
2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you while you are with him. If you look for him, you will find him; but if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
Innis Asaatti gad baʼee akkana jedheen; “Aasaa fi Yihuudaan hundi, Beniyaamis na dhagaʼaa. Yoo isin isa wajjin jiraattan Waaqayyo isin wajjin ni jiraata. Yoo isin isa barbaaddan inni isiniif ni argama; yoo isin isa dhiiftan immoo innis isin dhiisa.
3 For many years Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the law.
Yeroo dheeraadhaaf Israaʼeloonni Waaqa dhugaa malee luba isaan barsiisuu fi seera malee jiraachaa turan.
4 But when they were in trouble they returned to the Lord, the God of Israel—they looked for him, and they found him.
Yeroo rakkina isaaniitti garuu gara Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼelitti deebiʼanii isa barbaadan; innis isaaniif ni argame.
5 During those times travel was dangerous, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. People everywhere had terrible problems.
Sababii bara sana keessa jiraattonni biyyattii hundi raafama keessa turaniif baʼuu fi deebiʼanii galuun amansiisaa hin turre.
6 Nation fought nation, and town fought town, for God threw them into a panic with all kinds of trouble.
Sababii Waaqni rakkina gosa hundaatiin isaan dhiphisaa tureef sabni tokko saba biraatiin, magaalaan tokko magaalaa biraatiin barbadeeffamaa ture.
7 But you need to be strong, not weak, for you will be rewarded for the work you do.”
Isin garuu jabaadhaa; harki keessanis hin laafin; hojiin keessan badhaasa argataatii.”
8 When Asa heard these words of prophecy from Azariah the prophet, son of Oded, he was encouraged. He removed the vile idols from the whole territory of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. Then he repaired the altar of the Lord that stood in front of the porch of the Lord's Temple.
Aasaan yommuu dubbii kanaa fi raajii Azaariyaa ilma Oodeed dhagaʼetti ni jajjabaate. Innis waaqota jibbisiisoo harka namaatiin hojjetaman biyya Yihuudaa, Beniyaamii fi magaalaawwan biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti qabate hunda keessaa balleesse. Iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo kan gardaafoo mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dura jiru illee ni haaromse.
9 Then Asa summoned all of Judah and Benjamin, along with those Israelites from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were living among them, for many people had deserted Israel and come over to Asa when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
Innis Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam akkasumas warra biyya Efreem, Minaasee fi Simiʼoonii dhufanii alagummaadhaan isaan gidduu jiraachaa turan hunda walitti qabe; namoonni akka malee baayʼeen akka Waaqayyo Waaqni isaa isa wajjin jiru arganii Israaʼel keessaa gara isaa dhufaniitii.
10 They gathered in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign.
Isaanis waggaa kudha shanaffaa Aasaan mootii taʼetti jiʼa sadaffaa keessa Yerusaalemitti walitti qabaman.
11 That day they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from the plunder they had brought back.
Yeroo sanattis waan boojiʼanii fidan keessaa sangoota dhibba torbaa fi hoolota kuma torba Waaqayyoof aarsaa godhan.
12 Then they made an agreement to conscientiously and completely follow the Lord, the God of their forefathers.
Isaanis garaa fi lubbuu isaanii guutuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii barbaaduudhaaf kakuu ni galan.
13 They also agreed that anyone who refused to follow the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
Namni Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel hin barbaanne hundi xinnaas taʼu guddaan, dhiiras taʼu dubartiin ni ajjeefama ture.
14 They declared their oath with a loud shout, accompanied by trumpets and blasts from rams' horns.
Isaanis sagalee guddaa fi iyyaan, malakataa fi gaanfa afuufuudhaan Waaqayyoof ni kakatan.
15 The whole of Judah was happy at the oath they had conscientiously sworn. They looked for him sincerely, and they found him. The Lord gave them peace from all their enemies.
Yihuudoonni hundinuu waan garaa guutuudhaan kakataniif kakuu kanatti akka malee gammadan. Isaan fedhiidhaan Waaqa ni barbaadan; innis isaaniif argame. Kanaafuu Waaqayyo karaa hundaan boqonnaa isaaniif ni kenne.
16 King Asa also removed Maacah from her position as queen mother for making an offensive Asherah pole. Asa cut down her vile idol, crushed it up, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
Aasaan Mootichi akkoo isaa Maʼakaa iyyuu waan isheen fakkii Asheeraa jibbisiisaa tokko tolfatteef iddoo ulfinaa kan isheen akka haadha mootiitti qabaatte sana irra ishee buuse. Aasaan fakkii sana caccabsee Sulula Qeedroon keessatti ni gube.
17 While the high places were not removed from Israel, Asa was completely devoted to the Lord all his life.
Yoo inni iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa guutumaan guutuutti Israaʼel keessaa balleessuu baate iyyuu garaan Aasaa bara jireenya isaa guutuu Waaqayyoof kennamee ture.
18 He brought into God's Temple the silver and gold articles he and his father had dedicated.
Innis meetii fi warqee akkasumas miʼoota innii fi abbaan isaa Waaqaaf addaan baasan gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ni galche.
19 There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign.
Hamma bara mootummaa Aasaa waggaa soddomii shanaffaatti lolli tokko iyyuu hin kaane.
