2 Chronicles 15
1 The Spirit of God came upon Azariah, the son of Obed.
Markaasaa Ruuxii Ilaah wuxuu ku soo degay Casaryaah oo ahaa ina Codeed,
2 Azariah went to talk with Asa, and said to him, “Asa and all [you men of the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin, listen to me. Yahweh is with you whenever you are trusting in him. If you request him [to help you], he will help you, but if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
oo intuu u soo baxay inuu Aasaa ka hor tago ayuu ku yidhi, Aasaa, iyo dadkii Yahuudah iyo Benyaamiin oo dhammow, i maqla. Rabbigu wuu idinla jiraa intaad isaga la jirtaan, oo haddaad isaga doondoontaanna waad heli doontaan, laakiinse haddaad isaga ka tagtaan, isna wuu idinka tegi doonaa.
3 For many years the Israeli people did not know the true God, and they did not have priests or God’s laws.
Haddaba intii wakhti dheer ah dadka Israa'iil ma ay haysan Ilaaha runta ah, iyo wadaad iyaga wax bara, iyo sharci toona,
4 But when they experienced trouble, they turned to Yahweh our God, and requested him to help them. And he helped them.
laakiinse markay cidhiidhi galeen ayay u soo jeesteen oo doondooneen Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, wayna heleen.
5 At that time, people were not safe when they traveled, because all the people who lived in the nearby countries were experiencing many difficulties.
Oo waayahaas oo dhanna nabadu uma jirin kii dibadda u baxa iyo kii gudaha soo gala toona, laakiinse dadka dalalka deggan oo dhan waxaa kor saarnaa dhibaatooyin waaweyn.
6 The people of various nations were thoroughly defeated by [armies of] other nations, and people in some cities were crushed by [armies from] other cities, because God was allowing them to experience many difficulties.
Oo iyagii way kala burbureen, oo quruumuba quruun bay ka gees noqotay, magaalona magaalay ka gees noqotay, waayo, Ilaah baa ku dhibay cidhiidhi oo dhan.
7 But you people, you must be strong and do not become discouraged, because [God] will reward you for what you do [to please him.”]
Laakiinse idinku xoogaysta oo gacmihiinnu yay debcin, waayo, shuqulkiinna waa laydiinka abaalgudi doonaa.
8 When Asa heard what the prophet Azariah said, he was encouraged. He [commanded his workers to] remove all the detestable idols from everywhere in the land of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and from the towns that [his soldiers] had captured in the hills of the tribe of Ephraim. Asa’s workers repaired the altar [where people offered sacrifices] to Yahweh that was in front of the entrance to the temple [in Jerusalem].
Oo Aasaana markuu maqlay erayadaas iyo waxsheegiddii Nebi Codeed ayuu sii dhiirranaaday, oo dalka Yahuudah iyo kan Benyaamiin oo dhan iyo magaalooyinkii uu ka qabsaday dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim wuu ka wada fogeeyey karaahiyadii, oo weliba wuxuu cusboonaysiiyey meeshii allabariga ee Rabbiga oo ku hor tiil balbalada Rabbiga.
9 Then he gathered all [the people of the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin and many people from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were living among them. [He was able to do that] because many people from [those tribes in] Israel had come to me to Judah when they realized that Yahweh, the God that Asa [worshiped], was helping him.
Markaasuu soo wada shiriyey dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Benyaamiin iyo kuwii iyaga la degganaa oo ka yimid reer Efrayim iyo reer Manaseh iyo reer Simecoonba, waayo, isagay ku soo darmeen iyagoo tiro badan, markay arkeen in Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ahu uu isaga la jiro.
10 After Asa had been ruling for almost 15 years, in May of that year, those people gathered in Jerusalem.
Sidaas daraaddeed waxay ku soo urureen Yeruusaalem sannaddii shan iyo tobnaad oo boqortooyadii Aasaa bisheedii saddexaad.
11 At that time they sacrificed to Yahweh 700 bulls and 7,000 sheep and goats, from the animals that they had captured [when they defeated the army of Ethiopia/Sudan].
Oo maalintaas waxay Rabbiga ugu allabaryeen toddoba boqol oo dibi iyo toddoba kun oo neef oo ido ah oo ka mid ah dhicii ay keeneen.
12 They solemnly made an agreement to very sincerely worship Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
Oo waxay axdi ku galeen inay Rabbiga Ilaaha awowayaashooda ah ku doondoonaan qalbigooda oo dhan iyo naftooda oo dhan,
13 They promised to execute all those who would not worship Yahweh, including those who were important and those who were not important, both men and women.
iyo in la dilo ku alla kii aan doondoonin Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, hadduu yar yahay iyo hadduu weyn yahay, ama hadduu nin yahay iyo hadday naag tahayba.
14 They shouted and blew trumpets and other horns while they solemnly promised to do that.
Oo waxay Rabbiga ugu dhaarteen cod weyn iyo qaylo iyo turumbooyin iyo buunan.
15 All the people who were living in Judah were happy with the agreement because they had solemnly and very sincerely promised to keep it. They eagerly requested help from Yahweh, and he helped them. So he enabled them to have peace throughout their country.
Oo dadkii Yahuudah oo dhammu way ku reyreeyeen dhaartii, maxaa yeelay, qalbigooda oo dhan ayay ku dhaarteen, oo waxay isaga ku doondooneen xiisahooda oo dhan, wayna heleen, oo Rabbiguna hareerahooda oo dhan wuu ka nasiyey.
16 King Asa’s grandmother Maacah had made a disgusting pole for [worshiping the goddess] Asherah. So Asa [commanded his workers to] cut down that pole and chop it into pieces and burn it in the Kidron Valley. He then did not allow Maacah to continue [to influence the people because of her] being the mother of the previous king.
Oo weliba Macakaah oo ahayd Boqor Aasaa hooyadiis boqoradnimadii wuu ka dejiyey, maxaa yeelay, waxay sanam karaahiya ah u samaysay geed Asheeraah, oo Aasaa sanamkeedii wuu jebiyey oo wuxuu ka dhigay boodh, wuxuuna ku gubay durdurka Qidroon agtiisa.
17 Although Asa’s [workers] did not get rid of the shrines on the hilltops in Israel, he was very determined to [do what] pleased Yahweh all his life.
Laakiinse meelihii sarsare dalka Israa'iil lagama baabbi'in, habase yeeshee Aasaa qalbigiisu wuu qummanaa cimrigiisii oo dhan.
18 He [ordered his workers to] bring into God’s temple all the silver and gold and other valuable items that he and his father had dedicated [to God].
Oo gurigii Ilaah wuxuu soo geliyey alaabtii aabbihiis quduuska ka dhigay iyo alaabtii uu isaga qudhiisu quduuska ka dhigay, waxayna ahayd lacag iyo dahab iyo weelal.
19 There were no more wars [in Judah] until Asa had been ruling Judah almost 35 years.
Oo dagaal dambena ma jirin ilaa sannaddii shan iyo soddonaad ee Aasaa boqornimadiisii.
