2 Chronicles 15
1 And as for 'Azaryahu the son of 'Oded—on him came the spirit of God;
Mweya waMwari wakauya pana Azaria mwanakomana waOdhedhi.
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.
Akabuda kundosangana naAsa akati kwaari, “Nditeererei, imi Asa, Judha yose neBhenjamini yose. Jehovha anemi kana imi munaye. Kana mukamutsvaka, achawanikwa nemi, asi kana mukamurasa, iye achakurasai.
3 And many days [had elapsed] for Israel, [they being] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
Kwenguva refu Israeri yakanga isina Mwari wechokwadi, isina muprista kuti avadzidzise uye vasina murayiro.
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.
Asi panguva yokutambudzika kwavo vakatendeukira kuna Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, vakamutsvaka, uye akawanikwa navo.
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.
Pamazuva iwayo zvakanga zvine njodzi kufamba-famba nokuti vanhu vose venyika dzakawanda vakanga vachitambudzika kwazvo.
6 And nation was dashed to pieces against nation, and city against city; for God did confound them with all kind of distress.
Imwe nyika yaiparadzwa neimwe uye rimwe guta richiparadzwa nerimwe, nokuti Mwari aivatambudza namatambudziko emhando dzakasiyana-siyana.
7 But as for you, be ye strong, and let not your hands be weak; for there is a reward for your doing.
Asi imi, ivai nesimba uye musaora mwoyo nokuti mabasa enyu achawana mubayiro.”
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.
Asa paakanzwa mashoko aya nokuprofita kwaAzaria mwanakomana waOdhedhi muprofita akasimbiswa kwazvo. Akabvisa zvifananidzo zvinonyangadza kubva panyika yose yeJudha neBhenjamini nomune mamwe maguta aakanga apamba muzvikomo zveEfuremu. Akavaka patsva aritari yaJehovha yaiva pamberi pebiravira retemberi yaJehovha.
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.
Ipapo akaunganidza Judha neBhenjamini yose navanhu vaibva kuEfuremu, Manase neSimeoni vakanga vagere pakati pavo; nokuti vanhu vazhinji kwazvo vakanga vauya kwaari vachibva kuIsraeri pavakaona kuti Jehovha Mwari wake aiva naye.
10 And so they assembled themselves at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Assa.
Vakaungana paJerusarema mumwedzi wechitatu wegore regumi namashanu rokutonga kwaAsa.
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.
Panguva iyoyo vakabayira kuna Jehovha mombe mazana manomwe, nemakwai nembudzi zviuru zvinomwe kubva paupfumi hwezvavakapamba zvavakadzoka nazvo.
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;
Vakaita sungano yokutsvaka Jehovha, Mwari wamadzibaba avo, nemwoyo yavo nemweya yavo yose.
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.
Vose vakanga vasingazotsvaki Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, vaizofanira kuurayiwa, zvisinei kuti mudiki kana mukuru, murume kana mukadzi.
14 And they swore unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with [joyful] shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Vakapika kuna Jehovha nenzwi guru nokudanidzira uye nehwamanda nenyanga.
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.
Judha yose yakafara nokuda kwemhiko iyi nokuti vakanga vapika nomwoyo wose. Vakatsvaka Mwari nomwoyo unoda, uye iye akawanikwa navo. Saka Jehovha akavapa zororo kumativi ose.
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.
Mambo Asa akabvisazve ambuya vake Maaka kubva panzvimbo yavo samai vamambo nokuti vakanga vagadzira danda rinonyangadza raAshera. Asa akatema danda riya akarityora-tyora akaripisa muMupata weKidhironi.
17 But the high-places were not removed out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Assa was entire all his days.
Kunyange zvake asina kubvisa nzvimbo dzakakwirira kubva muIsraeri, Asa akanga akazvipira nomwoyo wake wose kuna Jehovha upenyu hwake hwose.
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.
Akauyisa mutemberi yaMwari sirivha negoridhe nemidziyo yaakanga akumikidza iye nababa vake.
19 And there was no war until the five-and-thirtieth year of the reign of Assa.
Hakunazve kuzoita hondo kusvikira pagore ramakumi matatu namashanu rokutonga kwaAsa.
