2 Chronicles 15
1 And the Spirit of God has been on Azariah son of Oded,
Mgbe ahụ, Mmụọ nke Chineke dakwasịrị Azaraya nwa Oded.
2 and he goes out before Asa and says to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; YHWH [is] with you—in your being with Him, and if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He forsakes you;
Ọ pụrụ jekwuru Asa sị ya, “Geenụ m ntị, gị Asa na ndị Juda niile na Benjamin. Onyenwe anyị ga-anọnyere unu oge niile unu na-eme okwu ya. Unu ga-achọta ya mgbe ọbụla unu chọrọ ya. Ma ọ ga-agbakụta unu azụ oge ọbụla unu nupuru isi nʼiwu ya.
3 and many days [are] to Israel without [the] true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
Ma ọtụtụ oge dị anya ndị Izrel nọ na-enweghị Chineke nke ezie, ha enweghịkwa onye nchụaja ga-ezi ihe, ha enweghịkwa iwu Chineke
4 and it turns back in its distress to YHWH, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found by them,
Ma mgbe ọbụla ha chigharịkwutere Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel tikuo ya nʼime mkpagbu ha, ọ na-enyere ha aka.
5 and in those times there is no peace for him who is going out, and for him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
Nʼoge ahụ, ọ dịghị udo dịrị onye ọbụla na-apụ apụ ịgagharị nʼobodo, maka na ndị niile bi nʼala ahụ nọ nʼọnọdụ oke ọgbaaghara.
6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God has troubled them with every adversity;
Otu obodo na-azọpịa obodo ọzọ ebe otu mba na-emegidekwa mba ọzọ nʼihi na Chineke ji nsogbu dị iche iche megide ha.
7 and you, be strong, and do not let your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.”
Ma unu ndị Juda, unu adala mba nʼọrụ ọma unu, nʼihi na a ga-akwụ unu ụgwọ ọrụ unu.”
8 And at Asa’s hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he has strengthened himself, and causes the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he has captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and renews the altar of YHWH that [is] before the porch of YHWH,
Mgbe Asa nụrụ okwu ndị a, bụ amụma Azaraya nwa Oded, ọ bụ onye a gbara ume. O wepụrụ ihe arụ niile dị nʼala Juda na Benjamin na nke dị nʼobodo niile ahụ o meriri nʼagha ndị dị nʼugwu Ifrem. Ọ wuziri ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị, nke dị nʼihu mpụta ọnụ ụlọ ụlọnsọ ukwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
9 and gathers all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon—for they have defected to him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that his God YHWH [is] with him.
Mgbe ahụ, Asa kpọrọ ndị Juda na Benjamin niile oku, ha na ndị ọbịa niile si Izrel, nʼihi na ọtụtụ sitere nʼala Ifrem na Manase, na Simiọn gbafeta Juda, mgbe ha hụrụ na Onyenwe anyị Chineke nọnyeere Asa.
10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
Ha niile zukọrọ na Jerusalem nʼọnwa nke atọ nʼafọ nke iri na ise nke ọchịchị eze Asa.
11 and sacrifice to YHWH on that day from the spoil they have brought in—seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep,
Nʼoge ahụ, ha ji narị ehi asaa na puku atụrụ na ewu asaa, chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị aja nʼụbọchị ahụ. Anụmanụ ndị a so nʼihe ha kwatara nʼagha.
12 and they enter into a covenant to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,
Emesịa, nʼụbọchị ahụ, ha gbara ndụ, kpebie na ọ bụ naanị Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna ha ka ha ga-efe.
13 and everyone who does not seek for YHWH, God of Israel, is put to death, from small to great, from man to woman.
Ha kpebikwara na onye ọbụla nke na-agaghị efe Onyenwe anyị, Chineke Izrel ga-anwụ, ma onye ahụ ọ bụ nwoke maọbụ nwanyị, nwantakịrị maọbụ okenye.
14 And they swear to YHWH with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns,
Ha niile ji oke olu na iti mkpu na opi na opi ike, ṅụọrọ Onyenwe anyị iyi.
15 and all Judah rejoices concerning the oath, for they have sworn with all their heart, and they have sought Him with all their goodwill, and He is found by them, and YHWH gives rest to them all around.
Ndị Juda niile ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nʼihi na ha ji obi ha niile ṅụọ iyi a. Ha jikwa obi ha niile chọọ Chineke. O mere ka ha chọta ya. Onyenwe anyị nyekwara ha udo nʼakụkụ niile.
16 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king—he has removed her from [being] mistress, in that she has made for an Asherah a horrible thing, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and beats [it] small, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron:
Eze Asa chụdakwara nne nne ya bụ Maaka, site nʼọnọdụ ya dịka nne eze, nʼihi na ọ kpụrụ ihe arụ, ogidi Ashera maka iji fee ya ofufe. Asa gbuturu ya, sụpịa ya, kpọọ ya ọkụ na ndagwurugwu iyi Kidrọn.
17 yet the high places have not been removed from Israel; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect all his days.
Ọ bụ ezie na o wezugaghị ugwu niile dị elu site nʼIzrel, ma Asa ji obi zuruoke jere Onyenwe anyị ozi nʼoge ndụ ya niile
18 And he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God: silver, and gold, and vessels.
O webatara nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu Chineke, ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na ihe niile, nke nna ya na ya onwe ya doro nsọ.
19 And war has not been until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Ọ dịkwaghị agha ọzọ a lụrụ tutu ruo nʼafọ iri atọ na ise nke ọchịchị eze Asa na Juda.
