2 Chronicles 15
1 Then the Spirite of God came vpon Azariah the sonne of Obed.
Na ka eke te wairua o te Atua ki runga i a Ataria tama a Orere:
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.
Na ka haere ia ki te whakatau i a Aha, ka mea ki a ia, Whakarongo ki ahau, e Aha, koutou ko Hura katoa, ko Pineamine; kei a koutou a Ihowa, i te mea i a ia koutou. Ki te rapua hoki ia e koutou, e kitea ia e koutou. Ki te whakarerea ia e koutou ka whakarerea koutou e ia.
3 Nowe for a long season Israel hath bene without the true God, and without Priest to teach and without Lawe.
Na ka maha enei ra i kore ai te Atua pono i a Iharaira, kahore he tohunga hei whakaako, kahore he ture.
4 But whosoeuer returned in his affliction to the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was founde of them.
I a ratou ia i te mate, ka tahuri ratou ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira, rapu ana i a ia, a kitea ana ia e ratou.
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.
Kahore hoki he maunga rongo i aua wa, e haere atu ai tetahi, e haere mai ai ranei; he nui hoki nga whakararuraru o nga tangata katoa o nga whenua.
6 For nation was destroyed of nation, and citie of citie: for God troubled them with all aduersitie.
Kua pakaru rikiriki hoki ratou, tetahi iwi i tetahi, tetahi pa i tetahi: na te Atua hoki ratou i whakararu ki nga aitua katoa.
7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your handes be weake: for your worke shall haue a rewarde.
Ko koutou ia, kia kaha; kaua o koutou ringa e ngoikore, no te mea ka whai utu ta koutou mahi.
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.
A, i te rongonga o Aha i enei kupu, i te poropititanga a Orere poropiti, ka maia ia, a whakakahoretia ana e ia nga whakapakoko whakarihariha puta noa i te whenua o Hura raua ko Pineamine, i nga pa ano hoki o te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima i riro i a ia. I whakahoutia ano hoki e ia te aata i mua i te whakamahau o Ihowa.
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.
I huihuia ano e ia a Hura katoa raua ko Pineamine, me nga manene e noho ana i a ratou o roto o Eparaima, o Manahi, o Himiona: i papahoro hoki enei ki a ia, tona tini, i roto i a Iharaira, i to ratou kitenga kei a ia a Ihowa, tona Atua.
10 So they assembled to Ierusalem in the third moneth, in the fifteenth yere of the reigne of Asa.
Heoi huihui ana ratou ki Hiruharama i te toru o nga marama o te tekau ma rima o nga tau o te kingitanga o Aha.
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.
Patua iho e ratou i taua wa ano hei whakahere ma Ihowa etahi o nga mea i riro i a ratou i te parekura, e whitu rau kau, e whitu mano hipi hoki.
12 And they made a couenant to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soule.
Na ka uru ratou ki te kawenata kia whakapaua o ratou ngakau, o ratou wairua ki te rapu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o o ratou matua;
13 And whosoeuer will not seeke the Lord God of Israel, shalbe slaine, whether he were small or great, man or woman.
A, ko te tangata e kore e rapu i a Ihowa, i te Atua o Iharaira, kia whakamatea, ahakoa iti, ahakoa rahi, ahakoa tana, ahakoa wahine.
14 And they sware vnto the Lord with a loude voyce, and with shouting and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Nui atu to ratou reo ki te oati ki a Ihowa; hamama ana, tangi ana nga tetere me nga koronete.
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.
Na koa katoa a Hura ki taua oati; kua whakapaua hoki o ratou ngakau ki te oati; kua riro pu ano to ratou hiahia ki te rapu i a ia. I kitea ano ia e ratou, a ka meinga e Ihowa kia ta o ratou manawa i tetahi taha, i tetahi taha.
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.
Na ko Maaka ano, ko te whaea o Kingi Aha, whakamutua ake e ia tona kuinitanga, mona i hanga i te whakapakoko whakarihariha hei Ahera; tapahia iho hoki e Aha tana whakapakoko, tukia ana kia ririki, tahuna ake ki te taha o te awa o Kitirono.
17 But the hie places were not taken away out of Israel: yet the heart of Asa was perfit all his dayes.
Otiia kihai i whakakorea nga wahi tiketike i roto i a Iharaira. He ahakoa ra, i tapatahi te ngakau o Aha i ona ra katoa.
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.
I kawea hoki e ia ki te whare o te Atua nga mea i whakatapua e tona papa, me nga mea i whakatapua e ia ano, te hiriwa, te koura, me nga oko.
19 And there was no warre vnto the fiue and thirtieth yeere of the reigne of Asa.
Na kore ake he whawhai, a tae noa ki te toru tekau ma rima o nga tau o te kingitanga o Aha.
