2 Chronicles 15

1 Then the Spirite of God came vpon Azariah the sonne of Obed.

Pea naʻe hoko mai ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻOtua kia ʻAsalia ko e foha ʻo Oteti:

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.

Pea naʻe ʻalu kituʻa ia ke fakafetaulaki kia ʻAsa ʻo ne pehē kiate ia, “ʻE ʻAsa, mo Siuta kotoa pē, mo Penisimani, mou fanongo kiate au. ʻOku ʻiate kimoutolu ʻa Sihova, lolotonga ʻoku mou ʻiate ia: pea kapau ʻoku mou kumi kiate ia, te ne tuku ke mou ʻilo ia: pea kapau ʻoku mou liʻaki ia, te ne liʻaki ʻakimoutolu.

3 Nowe for a long season Israel hath bene without the true God, and without Priest to teach and without Lawe.

Pea ko eni, kuo nofo fuoloa ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo masiva ʻOtua moʻoni, pea masiva taulaʻeiki ke akonaki, pea masiva fono.

4 But whosoeuer returned in his affliction to the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was founde of them.

Ka ʻi heʻenau tafoki ʻi heʻenau mamahi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻonau kumi ia, naʻe ʻilo ia ʻekinautolu.

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.

Pea ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia naʻe ʻikai ha fiemālie kiate ia naʻe ʻalu kituaʻā, pe kiate ia naʻe haʻu ki loto, ka naʻe ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua ʻae ngaahi mamahi lahi.

6 For nation was destroyed of nation, and citie of citie: for God troubled them with all aduersitie.

Pea naʻe fakaʻauha ʻae puleʻanga ʻe taha ʻe he puleʻanga ʻe taha, mo e kolo ʻae kolo: he naʻe fakamamahi ʻakinautolu ʻe he ʻOtua ʻi he ngaahi meʻa mamahi kotoa pē.

7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your handes be weake: for your worke shall haue a rewarde.

Ko ia ke mou mālohi, pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ke vaivai homou nima: he ko hoʻomou ngāue ʻe totongi ia.”

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.

Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe ʻAsa ki he ngaahi lea ni, mo e akonaki ʻa Oteti ko e palōfita, naʻa ne fiemālie ai, pea tukuange leva ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi ʻotua loi mo e kovi lahi, mei he fonua kotoa pē ʻo Siuta mo Penisimani, pea mei he ngaahi kolo naʻa ne toki maʻu, pea mei he moʻunga ko ʻIfalemi, pea ne fakafoʻou ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻo Sihova, ʻaia naʻe ʻi he mata ʻoe fale hala ʻo Sihova.

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.

Pea ne fakataha ʻa Siuta kotoa pē mo Penisimani, fakataha mo e kau muli meia ʻIfalemi mo Manase, pea meia Simione: he naʻe haʻu ʻae tokolahi kiate ia mei ʻIsileli, ʻi heʻenau mamata ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻa Sihova ko hono ʻOtua.

10 So they assembled to Ierusalem in the third moneth, in the fifteenth yere of the reigne of Asa.

Ko ia naʻa nau fakakātoa ai ʻakinautolu ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi hono tolu ʻoe māhina, ʻi hono hongofulu ma nima ʻoe taʻu ʻoe pule ʻa ʻAsa.

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.

Pea naʻa nau ʻatu kia Sihova ʻi he kuonga ko ia, ʻi he vete naʻa nau fetuku, ko e fanga pulu ʻe fitungeau mo e fanga sipi ʻe fitu afe.

12 And they made a couenant to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soule.

Pea naʻa nau alea fakataha ʻo fai ʻae fuakava ke nau kumi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻenau ngaahi tamai ʻaki honau loto kotoa mo honau laumālie kotoa:

13 And whosoeuer will not seeke the Lord God of Israel, shalbe slaine, whether he were small or great, man or woman.

‌ʻO pehē, ke ʻilonga ia ʻe ʻikai loto ke kumi kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli ke tāmateʻi ia, ko ha siʻi ia pe ko e lahi, ko e tangata ia pe ko e fefine.

14 And they sware vnto the Lord with a loude voyce, and with shouting and with trumpets, and with cornets.

Pea naʻa nau fuakava kia Sihova ʻi he leʻo lahi, pea ʻi he mavava, mo e ngaahi meʻalea, pea mo e ngaahi meʻa ifi.

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.

Pea naʻe fiefia ʻa Siuta kotoa pē ʻi he fuakava: he naʻa nau fuakava ʻaki honau loto kotoa: pea naʻe hā mai ia kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe foaki ʻe Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻae fiemālie mei he potu kotoa pē.

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.

Pea ko e meʻa kia Meaka ko e faʻē ʻa ʻAsa ko e tuʻi, naʻa ne liua ia ke ʻoua naʻa pule ia, ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene ngaohi ʻae ʻotua loi ʻi he vao tapu: pea naʻe tā hifo ʻe ʻAsa hono ʻotua loi, pea naʻe laiki ia, pea tutu ia ʻi he veʻe vaitafe ko Kitiloni.

17 But the hie places were not taken away out of Israel: yet the heart of Asa was perfit all his dayes.

Ka naʻe ʻikai hiki ʻae ngaahi potu māʻolunga mei ʻIsileli: ka ko e moʻoni naʻe angatotonu ʻae loto ʻo ʻAsa ʻi hono ngaahi ʻaho kotoa pē.

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.

Pea naʻe fetuku ʻe ia ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa naʻe fakatapui ʻe heʻene tamai, mo e meʻa naʻa ne fakatapui ʻe ia, ʻae siliva, mo e koula, mo e ngaahi ipu.

19 And there was no warre vnto the fiue and thirtieth yeere of the reigne of Asa.

Pea naʻe ʻikai ha tau ʻo aʻu ki he taʻu ʻe tolungofulu ma nima ʻoe pule ʻo ʻAsa.
