2 Chronicles 15
1 And Azariah [the] son of Oded it was on him [the] spirit of God.
時に神の霊がオデデの子アザリヤに臨んだので、
2 And he went out before Asa and he said to him listen to me O Asa and all Judah and Benjamin Yahweh [is] with you when are you with him and if you will seek him he will let himself be found by you and if you will forsake him he will forsake you.
彼は出ていってアサを迎え、これに言った、「アサおよびユダとベニヤミンの人々よ、わたしに聞きなさい。あなたがたが主と共におる間は、主もあなたがたと共におられます。あなたがたが、もし彼を求めるならば、彼に会うでしょう。しかし、彼を捨てるならば、彼もあなたがたを捨てられるでしょう。
3 And days many [belonged] to Israel to not - [the] God of truth and to not a priest [who] teaches and to not [the] law.
そもそも、イスラエルには長い間、まことの神がなく、教をなす祭司もなく、律法もなかった。
4 And it turned back when it was distress to it to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and they sought him and he let himself be found by them.
しかし、悩みの時、彼らがイスラエルの神、主に立ち返り、彼を求めたので彼に会った。
5 And in the times those not peace [belonged] to the [one who] went out and to the [one who] came in for disturbances great [were] on all [the] inhabitants of the lands.
そのころは、出る者にも入る者にも、平安がなく、大いなる騒乱が国々のすべての住民を悩ました。
6 And they were crushed nation by nation and city by city for God he troubled them with every trouble.
国は国に、町は町に撃ち砕かれた。神がもろもろの悩みをもって彼らを苦しめられたからです。
7 And you be strong and may not they drop hands your for there [is] reward for work your.
しかしあなたがたは勇気を出しなさい。手を弱くしてはならない。あなたがたのわざには報いがあるからです」。
8 And just as heard Asa the words these and the prophecy of (Azariah [the] son of *X*) Oded the prophet he strengthened himself and he took away the detestable things from all [the] land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured from [the] hill country of Ephraim and he renewed [the] altar of Yahweh which [was] before [the] porch of Yahweh.
アサはこれらの言葉すなわちオデデの子アザリヤの預言を聞いて勇気を得、憎むべき偶像をユダとベニヤミンの全地から除き、また彼がエフライムの山地で得た町々から除き、主の宮の廊の前にあった主の祭壇を再興した。
9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those [who] sojourned with them from Ephraim and Manasseh and from Simeon for they had fallen on him from Israel to multitude when saw they that Yahweh God his [was] with him.
彼はまたユダとベニヤミンの人々およびエフライム、マナセ、シメオンから来て、彼らの間に寄留していた者を集めた。その神、主がアサと共におられるのを見て、イスラエルからアサのもとに下った者が多くあったからである。
10 And they gathered together Jerusalem in the month third of year fif-teen of [the] reign of Asa.

そして彼らは契約を結び、心をつくし、精神をつくして先祖の神、主を求めることと、
13 And every [one] who not he will seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel he will be put to death from small and unto great from man and unto woman.
すべてイスラエルの神、主を求めない者は老幼男女の別なく殺さるべきことを約した。
14 And they swore an oath to Yahweh with a voice great and with a shout and with trumpets and with ram's horns.
そして彼らは大声をあげて叫び、ラッパを吹き、角笛を鳴らして、主に誓いを立てた。
15 And they rejoiced all Judah on the oath for with all heart their they had sworn and with all will their they had sought him and he let himself be found by them and he gave rest Yahweh to them from round about.
ユダは皆その誓いを喜んだ。彼らは心をつくして誓いを立て、精神をつくして主を求めたので、主は彼らに会い、四方で彼らに安息を賜わった。

17 And the high places not they were removed from Israel only [the] heart of Asa it was complete all days his.
ただし高き所はイスラエルから除かなかったが、アサの心は一生の間、正しかった。
18 And he brought [the] holy things of father his and own holy things his [the] house of God silver and gold and utensils.
彼はまた、その父のささげた物および自分のささげた物、すなわち銀、金並びに器物などを主の宮に携え入れた。
