2 Chronicles 15

1 AND the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

And Azariah [the] son of Oded it was on him [the] spirit of God.

2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

And he went out before Asa and he said to him listen to me O Asa and all Judah and Benjamin Yahweh [is] with you when are you with him and if you will seek him he will let himself be found by you and if you will forsake him he will forsake you.

3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

And days many [belonged] to Israel to not - [the] God of truth and to not a priest [who] teaches and to not [the] law.

4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

And it turned back when it was distress to it to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and they sought him and he let himself be found by them.

5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.

And in the times those not peace [belonged] to the [one who] went out and to the [one who] came in for disturbances great [were] on all [the] inhabitants of the lands.

6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

And they were crushed nation by nation and city by city for God he troubled them with every trouble.

7 Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

And you be strong and may not they drop hands your for there [is] reward for work your.

8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord.

And just as heard Asa the words these and the prophecy of (Azariah [the] son of *X*) Oded the prophet he strengthened himself and he took away the detestable things from all [the] land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured from [the] hill country of Ephraim and he renewed [the] altar of Yahweh which [was] before [the] porch of Yahweh.

9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those [who] sojourned with them from Ephraim and Manasseh and from Simeon for they had fallen on him from Israel to multitude when saw they that Yahweh God his [was] with him.

10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

And they gathered together Jerusalem in the month third of year fif-teen of [the] reign of Asa.

11 And they offered unto the Lord the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

And they sacrificed to Yahweh on the day that some of the booty [which] they had brought ox[en] seven hundred and sheep seven thousand.

12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

And they went in the covenant to seek Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their with all heart their and with all being their.

13 That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

And every [one] who not he will seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel he will be put to death from small and unto great from man and unto woman.

14 And they sware unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

And they swore an oath to Yahweh with a voice great and with a shout and with trumpets and with ram's horns.

15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.

And they rejoiced all Judah on the oath for with all heart their they had sworn and with all will their they had sought him and he let himself be found by them and he gave rest Yahweh to them from round about.

16 And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

And also Maacah [the] mother of - Asa the king he removed her from queen-mother who she had made to an Asherah pole an abominable image and he cut down Asa abominable image her and he crushed [it] and he burned [it] in [the] wadi of Kidron.

17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

And the high places not they were removed from Israel only [the] heart of Asa it was complete all days his.

18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

And he brought [the] holy things of father his and own holy things his [the] house of God silver and gold and utensils.

19 And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.

And war not it was until year thirty and five of [the] reign of Asa.
