2 Chronicles 15
1 And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God,
Ary ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra tonga tamin’ i Azaria, zanak’ i Odeda;
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;
ary dia nivoaka hitsena an’ i Asa izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihainoa ahy, ry Asa mbamin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra: Jehovah momba anareo, raha ianareo momba Azy; ary raha mitady Azy kosa ianareo, dia hahita Azy; fa raha mahafoy Azy ianareo, dia hahafoy anareo Izy.
3 and many days [are] to Israel without a true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
Ary efa ela ny Isiraely no tsy nanana an’ Andriamanitra marina, na mpisorona mampianatra, na lalàna.
4 and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them,
Fa raha niverina tamin’ Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, izy nony azom-pahoriana, ka nitady Azy, dia nahita Azy.
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,
Ary tamin’ izany dia tsy nisy fiadanana ho an’ izay nivoaka na izay niditra; fa horohoro be no nahazo ny mponina rehetra tamin’ ny tany.
6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;
Ary nifandringana ny firenena sy ny tanàna, fa Andriamanitra nampangorohoro azy tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra.
7 and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.'
Koa mahereza ianareo, fa aza miraviravy tanana; fa hisy valim-pitia tokoa ny ataonareo.
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,
Ary raha ren’ i Asa izany teny izany sy ny faminanian’ i Odeda mpaminany, dia niezaka izy ka nanaisotra ny sampy fahavetavetana tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra ary tamin’ ny tanàna izay azony tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, sady nanavao ny alitaran’ i Jehovah izay teo anoloan’ ny lavarangana fidirana amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.
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.
Ary novoriny ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra sy ny vahiny teo aminy izay avy tany amin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase ary ny Simeona; fa betsaka no nanatona azy avy tamin’ ny Isiraely, raha hitany fa Jehovah Andriamaniny no teo aminy.
10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
Ary nivory tany Jerosalema ireo tamin’ ny volana fahatelo tamin’ ny taona fahadimy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Asa.
11 and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have brought in — oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven thousand,
Ary androtrizay no nanaterany fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny babo izay nentiny, dia omby fitonjato sy ondry aman’ osy fito arivo.
12 and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul,
Ary nanao fanekena hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, tamin’ ny fony rehetra sy ny fanahiny rehetra izy,
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.
ka na iza na iza tsy mety mitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, dia hatao maty, na kely na lehibe, na lahy na vavy.
14 And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets,
Ary nianiana ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny feo mahery sy ny fihobiana ary tamin’ ny trompetra sy ny anjomara izy.
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.
Ary ny Joda rehetra nifaly noho ny fianianana, fa efa nianiana tamin’ ny fony rehetra izy sady nazoto nitady an’ i Jehovah indrindra, ka dia nahita Azy; ary Jehovah dia nanome azy fiadanana tamin’ ny manodidina fahizay.
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:
Ary na dia Imaka, renin’ i Asa mpanjaka, aza dia naetriny tsy ho andriambavy, satria efa nanao sampy ho an’ ny Aseraha izy; ary Asa nikapa ny sampiny, dia nanorotoro ka nandoro azy tao amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona.
17 yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days.
Fa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana tamin’ ny Isiraely; nefa nahitsy ny fon’ i Asa tamin’ ny androny rehetra.
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.
Ary nampidiriny ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny zavatra izay nohamasinin-drainy mbamin’ izay nohamasinin’ ny tenany, dia volafotsy sy volamena ary fanaka.
19 And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Ary tsy nisy ady intsony hatramin’ ny taona fahadimy amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Asa.
