2 Chronicles 15
1 And as for 'Azaryahu the son of 'Oded—on him came the spirit of God;
Hafuurri Waaqaa Azaariyaa ilma Oodeed irra ni buʼe.
2 And he went out to meet Assa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Assa, and all Judah and Benjamin, The Lord is with you, while ye remain with him; and if ye seek him, he will let himself be found by you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
Innis Asaatti gad baʼee akkana jedheen; “Aasaa fi Yihuudaan hundi, Beniyaamis na dhagaʼaa. Yoo isin isa wajjin jiraattan Waaqayyo isin wajjin ni jiraata. Yoo isin isa barbaaddan inni isiniif ni argama; yoo isin isa dhiiftan immoo innis isin dhiisa.
3 And many days [had elapsed] for Israel, [they being] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
Yeroo dheeraadhaaf Israaʼeloonni Waaqa dhugaa malee luba isaan barsiisuu fi seera malee jiraachaa turan.
4 But they returned when they were in distress unto the Lord, the God of Israel, and they sought him, and he let himself be found by them.
Yeroo rakkina isaaniitti garuu gara Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼelitti deebiʼanii isa barbaadan; innis isaaniif ni argame.
5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, and to him that came in; but there were great confusions among all the inhabitants of the countries.
Sababii bara sana keessa jiraattonni biyyattii hundi raafama keessa turaniif baʼuu fi deebiʼanii galuun amansiisaa hin turre.
6 And nation was dashed to pieces against nation, and city against city; for God did confound them with all kind of distress.
Sababii Waaqni rakkina gosa hundaatiin isaan dhiphisaa tureef sabni tokko saba biraatiin, magaalaan tokko magaalaa biraatiin barbadeeffamaa ture.
7 But as for you, be ye strong, and let not your hands be weak; for there is a reward for your doing.
Isin garuu jabaadhaa; harki keessanis hin laafin; hojiin keessan badhaasa argataatii.”
8 And when Assa heard these words, and the prophecy of 'Oded the prophet, he was strengthened, and he put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured from the mountain of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord.
Aasaan yommuu dubbii kanaa fi raajii Azaariyaa ilma Oodeed dhagaʼetti ni jajjabaate. Innis waaqota jibbisiisoo harka namaatiin hojjetaman biyya Yihuudaa, Beniyaamii fi magaalaawwan biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti qabate hunda keessaa balleesse. Iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo kan gardaafoo mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo dura jiru illee ni haaromse.
9 And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, and those that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Menasseh, and out of Simeon; for they had joined him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
Innis Yihuudaa fi Beniyaam akkasumas warra biyya Efreem, Minaasee fi Simiʼoonii dhufanii alagummaadhaan isaan gidduu jiraachaa turan hunda walitti qabe; namoonni akka malee baayʼeen akka Waaqayyo Waaqni isaa isa wajjin jiru arganii Israaʼel keessaa gara isaa dhufaniitii.
10 And so they assembled themselves at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Assa.
Isaanis waggaa kudha shanaffaa Aasaan mootii taʼetti jiʼa sadaffaa keessa Yerusaalemitti walitti qabaman.
11 And they sacrificed unto the Lord on the same day, of the booty which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
Yeroo sanattis waan boojiʼanii fidan keessaa sangoota dhibba torbaa fi hoolota kuma torba Waaqayyoof aarsaa godhan.
12 And they entered into the covenant to seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
Isaanis garaa fi lubbuu isaanii guutuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii barbaaduudhaaf kakuu ni galan.
13 So that whosoever would not seek the Lord the God of Israel should be put to death, from the small even up to the great, whether it be man or woman.
Namni Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel hin barbaanne hundi xinnaas taʼu guddaan, dhiiras taʼu dubartiin ni ajjeefama ture.
14 And they swore unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with [joyful] shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Isaanis sagalee guddaa fi iyyaan, malakataa fi gaanfa afuufuudhaan Waaqayyoof ni kakatan.
15 And all Judah rejoiced because of the oath; for with all their heart had they sworn, and with their whole desire did they seek him, and he let himself be found by them: and the Lord gave them rest on every side.
Yihuudoonni hundinuu waan garaa guutuudhaan kakataniif kakuu kanatti akka malee gammadan. Isaan fedhiidhaan Waaqa ni barbaadan; innis isaaniif argame. Kanaafuu Waaqayyo karaa hundaan boqonnaa isaaniif ni kenne.
16 And also concerning Ma'achah the mother of king Assa, he removed her from being queen, because she had made a scandalous image for the grove; and Assa cut down her scandalous image, and had it ground up, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
Aasaan Mootichi akkoo isaa Maʼakaa iyyuu waan isheen fakkii Asheeraa jibbisiisaa tokko tolfatteef iddoo ulfinaa kan isheen akka haadha mootiitti qabaatte sana irra ishee buuse. Aasaan fakkii sana caccabsee Sulula Qeedroon keessatti ni gube.
17 But the high-places were not removed out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Assa was entire all his days.
Yoo inni iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa guutumaan guutuutti Israaʼel keessaa balleessuu baate iyyuu garaan Aasaa bara jireenya isaa guutuu Waaqayyoof kennamee ture.
18 And be brought the things which his father had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, into the house of God, —silver, and gold, and vessels.
Innis meetii fi warqee akkasumas miʼoota innii fi abbaan isaa Waaqaaf addaan baasan gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ni galche.
19 And there was no war until the five-and-thirtieth year of the reign of Assa.
Hamma bara mootummaa Aasaa waggaa soddomii shanaffaatti lolli tokko iyyuu hin kaane.
