2 Chronicles 15
1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah son of Oded.
Nivotrak’ amy Azarià ana’ i Ovede t’i Arofon’ Añahare;
2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Yahweh is with you, while you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
le niavotse mb’eo hifanalaka amy Asa, le hoe re ama’e: Janjiño iraho ry Asa naho ry Iehoda miharo Beniamine iaby; indreza’ Iehovà kanao ireketa’ areo; itsoeho le ho isa’areo; f’ie aforintse’ areo le ho farie’e ka.
3 Now for a long period, Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without the law.
Hatrela t’ie tsy aman’ Añahare to t’Israele naho tsy amam-pisoroñe mpañoke vaho tsy aman-Kàke;
4 But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
fe amy haembera’ iareo le nitolik’ am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, nipay vaho nahatendreke.
5 In those times there was no peace for him who traveled away, nor for him who traveled to here; instead, great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
Ie tañ’ andro izay tsy nanintsiñe ty niavotse ndra ty nimoake, fa hasotriam-bey ty nampilovilovi’ ze hene mpimone’ o taneo.
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city, for God troubled them with all kinds of suffering.
Finofoke iereo, fifeheañe miatre-pifeheañe, rova miatre-rova; amy t’ie nametsahan’ Añahare ze atao hasotriañe.
7 But be strong, and do not let your hands be weak, for your work will be rewarded.”
Fe mihaozara, ko apoke higebañe ty fità’ areo, fa ho tambezeñe o fitoloña’areoo.
8 When Asa heard these words, the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage and drove away the disgusting things from all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and from the cities that he had captured from the hill country of Ephraim, and he rebuilt Yahweh's altar, which was in front of the portico of Yahweh's house.
Ie nahajanjiñe i tsara zay t’i Asa, i nitokia’ i Azarià ana’ i Ovede, mpitokiy, le nandrobo-batañe naho finao’e an-tane’ Iehodà naho e Beniamine iaby ze raha nampangorìñe, naho amo rova rinambe’e am-bohibohi’ i Efraimeo; vaho hinavao’e i kitreli’ Iehovà, aolo’ i lavaranga’ Iehovàiy.
9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who stayed with them—people from of Ephraim and Manasseh, and from Simeon. For they came from Israel to him in great numbers, when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
Le natonto’e iaby t’Iehodà naho i Beniamine naho o mpañialo ama’e boak’ Efraime naho e Menasè vaho e Simeoneo; fa maro ty nihintsañe am’ Israele ie nioni’ iereo te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’e.
10 So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa's reign.
Aa le nifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao amy volam-paha-telo, amy taom-paha-folo-lim’ ambi’ i Asay,
11 They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day some of the plunder that they had brought: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep and goats.
vaho nanao soroñe amy Iehovà amy andro zay, boak’ amy fikopahañe nendesa’ iareoy, añombe fiton-jato naho añondry fito-arivo;
12 They entered into a covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and with all their soul.
le nifañina hitsoeke Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo, an-kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova,
13 They agreed that whoever refused to seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether the person was small or great, whether man or woman.
le havetrake ze tsy mipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, ke t’ie kedekede he te bey, ke lahilahy hera ampela.
14 They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, and with trumpets and horns.
Aa le nifanta am-pazak’ am’ Iehovà iereo naho am-pamatsiañe vaho an-trompetra naho antsiva.
15 All Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart, and they sought God with their whole desire, and he was found by them. Yahweh gave them peace all around them.
Nandia taroba iaby t’Iehoda ty amy fantay, amy te nititiheñe an-kaampon’ arofo naho nitsotsehe’ iereo vaho nitendreke. Aa le nitsitsihe’ Iehovà fañanintsiñe.
16 He also removed Maacah, his grandmother, from being queen, because she had made a disgusting figure out of an Asherah pole. Asa cut down the disgusting figure, ground it to dust and burned it at the brook Kidron.
Nafaha’e tsy ho renem-panjaka ka t’i Maakà rene’ i Asa mpanjaka amy t’ie nandranjy sare tiva i Aserà; le finira’ i Asa i sare’e nampangorìñey naho dinemo’e ho deboke vaho noroa’e an-toraha’ i Kidrone ao.
17 But the high places were not taken out of Israel. Nevertheless, Asa's heart was completely devoted all his days.
Toe tsy nafahañe am’ Israele o toets’ aboo; fe ni-ary ty arofo’ i Asa amo hene andro’eo.
18 He brought into the house of God the silver and gold and the utensils that he and his father had dedicated for that purpose.
Le nindese’e añ’ anjomban’ Añahare ao o raha navìn-droae’e naho o raha navì’eo, volafoty naho volamena naho fanake.
19 There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign.
Vaho tsy aman’ aly i taney pak’ an-taom-pifehea’ i Asa faha-telopolo-lim’ amby.
