2 Chronicles 15
1 Then the Spirite of God came vpon Azariah the sonne of Obed.
Azarias autem filius Oded, facto in se spiritu Dei,
2 And he went out to meete Asa, and said vnto him, O Asa, and all Iudah, and Beniamin, heare ye me. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him: and if ye seeke him, he wil be founde of you, but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
egressus est in occursum Asa, et dixit ei: Audite me, Asa, et omnis Juda et Benjamin: Dominus vobiscum, quia fuistis cum eo. Si quæsieritis eum, invenietis: si autem dereliqueritis eum, derelinquet vos.
3 Nowe for a long season Israel hath bene without the true God, and without Priest to teach and without Lawe.
Transibant autem multi dies in Israël absque Deo vero, et absque sacerdote doctore, et absque lege.
4 But whosoeuer returned in his affliction to the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was founde of them.
Cumque reversi fuerint in angustia sua ad Dominum Deum Israël, et quæsierint eum, reperient eum.
5 And in that time there was no peace to him, that did goe out and goe in: but great troubles were to all the inhabitants of the earth.
In tempore illo, non erit pax egredienti et ingredienti, sed terrores undique in cunctis habitatoribus terrarum:
6 For nation was destroyed of nation, and citie of citie: for God troubled them with all aduersitie.
pugnavit enim gens contra gentem, et civitas contra civitatem, quia Dominus conturbabit eos in omni angustia.
7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your handes be weake: for your worke shall haue a rewarde.
Vos ergo confortamini, et non dissolvantur manus vestræ: erit enim merces operi vestro.
8 And when Asa heard these wordes, and the prophesie of Obed the Prophet, he was encouraged, and tooke away the abominations out of all the lande of Iudah, and Beniamin, and out of the cities which he had taken of mount Ephraim, and he renued the altar of the Lord, that was before the porche of the Lord.
Quod cum audisset Asa, verba scilicet, et prophetiam Azariæ filii Oded prophetæ, confortatus est, et abstulit idola de omni terra Juda et de Benjamin, et ex urbibus quas ceperat, montis Ephraim: et dedicavit altare Domini quod erat ante porticum Domini.
9 And he gathered all Iudah and Beniamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for there fell many to him out of Israel, when they sawe that the Lord his God was with him.
Congregavitque universum Judam et Benjamin, et advenas cum eis de Ephraim, et de Manasse, et de Simeon: plures enim ad eum confugerant ex Israël, videntes quod Dominus Deus illius esset cum eo.
10 So they assembled to Ierusalem in the third moneth, in the fifteenth yere of the reigne of Asa.
Cumque venissent in Jerusalem mense tertio, anno decimoquinto regni Asa,
11 And they offred vnto the Lord the same time of the spoyle, which they had brought, euen seuen hundreth bullockes, and seuen thousande sheepe.
immolaverunt Domino in die illa de manubiis et præda quam adduxerant, boves septingentos, et arietes septem millia.
12 And they made a couenant to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soule.
Et intravit ex more ad corroborandum fœdus ut quærerent Dominum Deum patrum suorum in toto corde, et in tota anima sua.
13 And whosoeuer will not seeke the Lord God of Israel, shalbe slaine, whether he were small or great, man or woman.
Si quis autem, inquit, non quæsierit Dominum Deum Israël, moriatur, a minimo usque ad maximum, a viro usque ad mulierem.
14 And they sware vnto the Lord with a loude voyce, and with shouting and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Juraveruntque Domino voce magna in jubilo, et in clangore tubæ, et in sonitu buccinarum,
15 And all Iudah reioyced at the othe: for they had sworne vnto the Lord with all their heart, and sought him with a whole desire, and he was founde of them. And the Lord gaue them rest rounde about.
omnes qui erant in Juda, cum execratione: in omni enim corde suo juraverunt, et in tota voluntate quæsierunt eum, et invenerunt: præstititque eis Dominus requiem per circuitum.
16 And King Asa deposed Maachah his mother from her regencie, because she had made an idole in a groue: and Asa brake downe her idole, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brooke Kidron.
Sed et Maacham matrem Asa regis ex augusto deposuit imperio, eo quod fecisset in luco simulacrum Priapi: quod omne contrivit, et in frustra comminuens combussit in torrente Cedron.
17 But the hie places were not taken away out of Israel: yet the heart of Asa was perfit all his dayes.
Excelsa autem derelicta sunt in Israël: attamen cor Asa erat perfectum cunctis diebus ejus,
18 Also he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicate, and that he had dedicate, siluer, and golde, and vessels.
eaque quæ voverat pater suus, et ipse, intulit in domum Domini, argentum, et aurum, vasorumque diversam supellectilem.
19 And there was no warre vnto the fiue and thirtieth yeere of the reigne of Asa.
Bellum vero non fuit usque ad trigesimum quintum annum regni Asa.
