2 Chronicles 15
1 Now, as for Azariah son of Oded, there came upon him, the spirit of God.
HIKI mai la ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o Azaria ke keiki a Odeda;
2 So he went forth to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin, —Yahweh, is with you, so long as ye are with him, and, if ye seek him, he will be found of you, but, if ye 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, many days, had Israel been, —without the faithful God, and without a teaching priest, and without the law;
I na la he nui loa, aole ia Iseraela ke Akua oiaio, aohe kahuna ao, aole ke kanawai.
4 But they turned, in their distress, unto Yahweh God of Israel, —and sought him, and he was found of 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 And, in those times, there had been no prosperity, to him that went out nor to him that came in, —for, great consternations, were upon 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 and they were beaten in pieces-nation against nation, and city against city, —for, God, discomfited them with all manner of distress.
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 Ye, therefore, be strong, and let not your hands be slack, —for there is a reward for your work!
E hookanaka oukou, aole e hoonawaliwali ko oukou mau lima; no ka mea, e ukuia ka oukou hana ana.
8 And, when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he strengthened himself, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured out of the hill country of Ephraim, —and renewed the altar of Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh.
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 And he gathered together all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them, out of Ephraim and out of Manasseh, and out of Simeon, —for they fell unto him out of Israel, in great numbers, because they saw that, Yahweh 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 unto Jerusalem, in the third month of 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 And they sacrificed unto Yahweh, on that day, out of the spoil they had brought in, —oxen, seven hundred, and sheep, seven thousand.
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 And they entered into a covenant, to seek Yahweh, 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, whosoever would not seek unto Yahweh 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 So they bound themselves by oath unto Yahweh, with a loud voice, and with shouting, —and with trumpets and with horns.
A hoohiki lakou ia Iehova me ka leo nui, a me ka uwa ana, a me na pu a me na mea hokiokio.
15 And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for, with all their heart, had they sworn, and, with all their good will, had they sought him, and he was found of them, —and Yahweh gave them rest round about.
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 Moreover also, as touching Maacah mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made, unto the Sacred Stem, a monstrous thing, —so Asa cut down her monstrous thing, and reduced it to dust, and burnt it up, in the Kidron ravine.
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, —only, 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 And he brought the hallowed things of his father and his own hallowed things, into the house of God, —silver and gold, and utensils.
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 And, war, was there none, —until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Aole kana hou a hiki i ka makahiki kanakolukumamalima o ke aupuni o Asa.
