2 Chronicles 15

1 And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God,

Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ va Azaria, Obed ƒe vi dzi

2 and he goeth out before Asa, and saith to him, 'Hear, me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Jehovah [is] with you — in your being with Him, and if ye seek Him, He is found of you, and if ye forsake Him, He forsaketh you;

eye wòɖakpe Fia Asa esi wòtrɔ gbɔna tso aʋa. Azaria do ɣli be, “Asa, ɖo tom! Yuda kple Benyamin ƒe aʋakɔwo, miɖo to! Yehowa anɔ kpli mi ŋkeke ale si mianɔ eyome! Ɣe sia ɣi si miadii ko la, miakpɔe gake ne miegbugbɔ le eyome la, eya hã agbugbɔ le mia yome.

3 and many days [are] to Israel without a true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,

Hena ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe le Israel la, nyateƒe Mawu la subɔsubɔ meganɔ anyi o eye nunɔla aɖeke hã meganɔ anyi afia nu ameawo o. Nenema ke se la hã meganɔ anyi o

4 and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them,

gake ɣe sia ɣi si wogatrɔ va Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gbɔ le woƒe fukpeɣiwo me eye wodii la, egakpena ɖe wo ŋu.

5 and in those times there is no peace to him who is going out, and to him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,

Ŋutifafa aɖeke menɔ anyi esime wodze aglã ɖe Mawu ŋu o. Nuwo kpeke wo le go ɖe sia ɖe me eye nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ nɔ agbɔ sɔm ɖe edzi le afi sia afi.

6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;

Aʋawɔwɔ nɔ edzi yim le woawo kple dukɔ bubuwo dome eye aʋawɔwɔ ganɔ Israel duwo ɖeɖe hã dome elabena Mawu nɔ fukpekpe ƒomevi vovovowo dam ɖe wo dzi.

7 and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.'

Ke mi Yuda ƒe viwo la, milé dɔ nyui si wɔm miele la me ɖe asi eye migana dzi naɖe le mia ƒo o elabena fetu li na mi.”

8 And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that [is] before the porch of Jehovah,

Esi Fia Asa se nya sia tso Mawu gbɔ la, dzi ɖo eƒo eye wògbã legbawo katã le Yuda kple Benyamin kple du siwo wòxɔ le Efraim ƒe tonyigba dzi la me. Egbugbɔ Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la tu ɖe gbedoxɔ la ŋgɔ.

9 and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon — for they have fallen unto him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that Jehovah his God [is] with him.

Tete wòƒo Yuda kple Benyamin katã nu ƒu, nenema kee nye ame siwo tso Efraim, Manase kple Simeon ƒe towo me, ame siwo nɔ wo dome. Ameha gã aɖe do va egbɔ tso Israel esime wokpɔ be Yehowa, eƒe Mawu la li kplii.

10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,

Wova ƒo ƒu ɖe Yerusalem le ɣleti etɔ̃lia me le Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe wuiatɔ̃lia me.

11 and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have brought in — oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven thousand,

Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, wotsɔ nyi alafa adre, gbɔ̃ kple alẽ akpe adre tso afunyinu siwo woha gbɔe la me, sa vɔe na Yehowa.

12 and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul,

Wobla nu be woadi Yehowa, wo fofowo ƒe Mawu la kple woƒe dzi blibo kpakple woƒe luʋɔ blibo.

13 and every one who doth not seek for Jehovah, God of Israel, is put to death, from small unto great, from man unto woman.

Woawu ame siwo katã medi Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la o; eɖanye ɖevi alo ametsitsi o, ŋutsu alo nyɔnu o.

14 And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets,

Woka atam na Yehowa kple ɣlidodo sesĩe kple kpẽwo kple lãdzowo kuku.

15 and rejoice do all Judah concerning the oath, for with all their heart they have sworn, and with all their good-will they have sought Him, and He is found of them, and Jehovah giveth rest to them round about.

Yuda blibo la kpɔ dzidzɔ ɖe atam si woka la ta elabena woka atam la kple woƒe dzi blibo. Wodi Mawu vevie eye woke ɖe eŋu eya ta Yehowa hã na gbɔɖeme wo le goawo katã me.

16 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king — he hath removed her from [being] mistress, in that she hath made for a shrine a horrible thing, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and beateth [it] small, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron:

Fia Asa ɖe mamaa Maaka ɖa be maganye fianyɔnu o elabena etu aƒeli si nye ŋunyɔnu. Asa lã ati la ƒu anyi, flii, hetɔ dzoe le Kidron bali la me.

17 yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days.

Togbɔ be megbã nuxeƒewo ɖa le Israel o hã la, Asa ƒe dzi nɔ Yehowa ŋu blibo le eƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me.

18 And he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.

Egbugbɔ klosalo kple sika kple ŋudɔwɔnu siwo ŋu eya kple fofoa kɔ la va Mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ la me.

19 And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa.

Ale aʋa aɖeke megadzɔ o va se ɖe Fia Asa ƒe fiaɖuɖu ƒe ƒe blaetɔ̃-vɔ-atɔ̃lia me.
