Chronicles II 15
1 And Azarias the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,
Azarias autem filius Oded, facto in se spiritu Dei,
2 and he went out to meet Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin. The Lord [is] with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him out, he will be found of you; but if you 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 And Israel [has been] a long time without the true God, and without a priest to expound [the truth], and without the law.
Transibant autem multi dies in Israël absque Deo vero, et absque sacerdote doctore, et absque lege.
4 But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.
Cumque reversi fuerint in angustia sua ad Dominum Deum Israël, et quæsierint eum, reperient eum.
5 And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands.
In tempore illo, non erit pax egredienti et ingredienti, sed terrores undique in cunctis habitatoribus terrarum:
6 And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every [kind of] affliction.
pugnavit enim gens contra gentem, et civitas contra civitatem, quia Dominus conturbabit eos in omni angustia.
7 But be you strong, and let not your hands be weakened: for there is a reward for your work.
Vos ergo confortamini, et non dissolvantur manus vestræ: erit enim merces operi vestro.
8 And when [Asa] heard these words, and the prophesy of Adad the prophet, then he strengthened himself, and cast out the abominations from all the land of Juda and Benjamin, and from the cities which Jeroboam possessed, in mount Ephraim, and he renewed the altar of the Lord, which was before the temple 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 assembled Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers that lived with him, of Ephraim, and of Manasse, and of Symeon: for many of Israel were joined to him, when they saw 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 And they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
Cumque venissent in Jerusalem mense tertio, anno decimoquinto regni Asa,
11 And he sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils which they brought, seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.
immolaverunt Domino in die illa de manubiis et præda quam adduxerant, boves septingentos, et arietes septem millia.
12 And he entered into a covenant that they should seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.
Et intravit ex more ad corroborandum fœdus ut quærerent Dominum Deum patrum suorum in toto corde, et in tota anima sua.
13 And that whoever should not seek the Lord God of Israel, should die, whether young or old, whether 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 swore to the Lord with a loud voice, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Juraveruntque Domino voce magna in jubilo, et in clangore tubæ, et in sonitu buccinarum,
15 And all Juda rejoiced concerning the oath: for they swore with all their heart, and they sought him with all their desires; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round 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 he removed Maacha his mother from being priestess to Astarte; and he cut down the idol, and burnt it in the brook of Kedron.
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 Nevertheless they removed not the high places: they still existed in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Excelsa autem derelicta sunt in Israël: attamen cor Asa erat perfectum cunctis diebus ejus,
18 And he brought in the holy things of David his father, and the holy things of the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.
eaque quæ voverat pater suus, et ipse, intulit in domum Domini, argentum, et aurum, vasorumque diversam supellectilem.
19 And there was no war [waged] with him until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Bellum vero non fuit usque ad trigesimum quintum annum regni Asa.
