Chronicles II 15
1 And Azarias the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,
Ary ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra tonga tamin’ i Azaria, zanak’ i Odeda;
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.
ary dia nivoaka hitsena an’ i Asa izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihainoa ahy, ry Asa mbamin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra: Jehovah momba anareo, raha ianareo momba Azy; ary raha mitady Azy kosa ianareo, dia hahita Azy; fa raha mahafoy Azy ianareo, dia hahafoy anareo Izy.
3 And Israel [has been] a long time without the true God, and without a priest to expound [the truth], and without the law.
Ary efa ela ny Isiraely no tsy nanana an’ Andriamanitra marina, na mpisorona mampianatra, na lalàna.
4 But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.
Fa raha niverina tamin’ Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, izy nony azom-pahoriana, ka nitady Azy, dia nahita Azy.
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.
Ary tamin’ izany dia tsy nisy fiadanana ho an’ izay nivoaka na izay niditra; fa horohoro be no nahazo ny mponina rehetra tamin’ ny tany.
6 And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every [kind of] affliction.
Ary nifandringana ny firenena sy ny tanàna, fa Andriamanitra nampangorohoro azy tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra.
7 But be you strong, and let not your hands be weakened: for there is a reward for your work.
Koa mahereza ianareo, fa aza miraviravy tanana; fa hisy valim-pitia tokoa ny ataonareo.
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.
Ary raha ren’ i Asa izany teny izany sy ny faminanian’ i Odeda mpaminany, dia niezaka izy ka nanaisotra ny sampy fahavetavetana tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra ary tamin’ ny tanàna izay azony tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, sady nanavao ny alitaran’ i Jehovah izay teo anoloan’ ny lavarangana fidirana amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary novoriny ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra sy ny vahiny teo aminy izay avy tany amin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase ary ny Simeona; fa betsaka no nanatona azy avy tamin’ ny Isiraely, raha hitany fa Jehovah Andriamaniny no teo aminy.
10 And they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
Ary nivory tany Jerosalema ireo tamin’ ny volana fahatelo tamin’ ny taona fahadimy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Asa.
11 And he sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils which they brought, seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.
Ary androtrizay no nanaterany fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny babo izay nentiny, dia omby fitonjato sy ondry aman’ osy fito arivo.
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.
Ary nanao fanekena hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, tamin’ ny fony rehetra sy ny fanahiny rehetra izy,
13 And that whoever should not seek the Lord God of Israel, should die, whether young or old, whether man or woman.
ka na iza na iza tsy mety mitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, dia hatao maty, na kely na lehibe, na lahy na vavy.
14 And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Ary nianiana ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny feo mahery sy ny fihobiana ary tamin’ ny trompetra sy ny anjomara izy.
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.
Ary ny Joda rehetra nifaly noho ny fianianana, fa efa nianiana tamin’ ny fony rehetra izy sady nazoto nitady an’ i Jehovah indrindra, ka dia nahita Azy; ary Jehovah dia nanome azy fiadanana tamin’ ny manodidina fahizay.
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.
Ary na dia Imaka, renin’ i Asa mpanjaka, aza dia naetriny tsy ho andriambavy, satria efa nanao sampy ho an’ ny Aseraha izy; ary Asa nikapa ny sampiny, dia nanorotoro ka nandoro azy tao amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona.
17 Nevertheless they removed not the high places: they still existed in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Fa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana tamin’ ny Isiraely; nefa nahitsy ny fon’ i Asa tamin’ ny androny rehetra.
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.
Ary nampidiriny ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny zavatra izay nohamasinin-drainy mbamin’ izay nohamasinin’ ny tenany, dia volafotsy sy volamena ary fanaka.
19 And there was no war [waged] with him until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Ary tsy nisy ady intsony hatramin’ ny taona fahadimy amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Asa.
