2 Chronicles 15
1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
HIKI mai la ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o Azaria ke keiki a Odeda;
2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
Hele aku la ia e halawai pu me Asa, i aku la ia ia, E hoolohe mai ia'u, e Asa, a me ka Iuda a pau, a me ka Beniamina; o Iehova pu kekahi me oukou i ko oukou noho pu ana me ia; ina e imi oukou ia ia, e loaa no oia ia oukou; aka, ina e haalele oukou ia ia, e haalele kela ia oukou.
3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
I na la he nui loa, aole ia Iseraela ke Akua oiaio, aohe kahuna ao, aole ke kanawai.
4 But when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
Aka, i ko lakou wa pilikia, a huli lakou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a imi aku ia ia, ua loaa no oia ia lakou.
5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
I keia mau la, aole maluhia o ka mea i puka iwaho, a me ka mea i komo iloko, no ka mea, nui ka haunaele ma ko na aina a pau loa.
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
Ua lukuia kekahi lahuikanaka, e kekahi lahuikanaka, a me kekahi kulanakauhale e kekahi kulanakauhale; no ka mea, ua hooweliweli mai ke Akua ia lakou me na mea ino a pau.
7 But you be strong, and do not let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded."
E hookanaka oukou, aole e hoonawaliwali ko oukou mau lima; no ka mea, e ukuia ka oukou hana ana.
8 When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the vestibule of the LORD.
A lohe ae la o Asa i keia mau olelo a me ka wanana a Odeda ke kaula, hooikaika iho la oia ia ia iho, a kipaku aku la i na kii lapuwale mai ka aina aku a pau o Iuda, a me Beniamina a me na kulanakauhale ana i lawe pio ai ma ka mauna o Eperaima: a hana hou oia i ke kuahu o Iehova, aia no imua o ka lanai o Iehova.
9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
A hoakoakoa oia i ka Iuda a pau, a me ka Beniamina, a me ka poe malihini e noho pu ana me lakou mai loko mai o Eperaima a me Manase, a mai loko mai o Simeona; no ka mea, he nui loa ka poe no ka Iseraela i lilo mai ia ia, i ko lakou ike ana, aia no o Iehova kekahi pu me ia.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
A ua hoakoakoaia lakou ma Ierusalema, i ka malama ekolu o ka makahiki umikumamalima o ke aupuni o Asa.
11 They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
A mohai aku la lakou ia Iehova ia la i kekahi o ka waiwai pio a lakou i lawe ai, ehiku haneri bipi, a me na hipa ehiku tausani.
12 They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
Hana iho la lakou i ka berita e imi ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna me ko lakou naau a pau a me ko lakou uhane a pau;
13 and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
A o kela mea keia mea i imi ole aku ia Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e make no ia, ka mea uuku a me ka mea nui, o ke kane a me ka wahine.
14 They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
A hoohiki lakou ia Iehova me ka leo nui, a me ka uwa ana, a me na pu a me na mea hokiokio.
15 All Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest all around.
A olioli o ka Iuda a pau no ka hoohiki ana; no ka mea, hoohiki lakou me ko lakou naau a pau, a ua imi lakou ia ia, me ko lakou makemake a pau a ua loaa no oia ia lakou. A hoomalu o Iehova ia lakou a puni.
16 Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.
A o Maaka ka makuwahine o Asa ke alii, kipaku aku la oia ia ia mai kona nohoalii ana'ku, no ka mea, ua hana oia i kii no Asetarota, wawahi iho la o Asa i kana kii, a hehi oia ia mea, a puhi i ke ahi ma ke kahawai o Kederona.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Aole hoi i laweia'ku na wahi kiekie mai Iseraela aku; aka, o ka naau o Asa, ua pololei no ia i kona mau la a pau loa.
18 He brought into God's house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
A ua hookomo oia iloko o ka hale o ke Akua i na mea a kona makuakane i hoolaa ai, a me kana mau mea laa no hoi, i ke kala a me ke gula a me na ipu.
19 There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
Aole kana hou a hiki i ka makahiki kanakolukumamalima o ke aupuni o Asa.
