2 Chronicles 15
1 And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God,
At ang espiritu ng Dios ay suma kay Azarias na anak ni Obed:
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;
At siya'y lumabas na sinalubong si Asa, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Dinggin ninyo ako, Asa, at buong Juda at Benjamin: ang Panginoon ay sumasa inyo samantalang kayo'y sumasa kaniya: at kung inyong hanapin siya, siya'y masusumpungan ninyo; nguni't kung pabayaan ninyo siya, kaniyang pababayaan kayo.
3 and many days [are] to Israel without a true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
Ngayon nga ang Israel ay malaon nang walang Dios na tunay at walang tagapagturong saserdote, at walang kautusan:
4 and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them,
Nguni't nang sa kanilang kapanglawan ay nagsipagbalik sila sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, at hinanap nila siya, siya'y nasumpungan nila.
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,
At nang mga panahong yaon ay walang kapayapaan sa kaniya na lumabas, o sa kaniya na pumasok, kundi malaking ligalig ang nangasa lahat ng mga nananahan sa mga lupain.
6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;
At sila'y nagkapangkatpangkat, bansa laban sa bansa, at bayan laban sa bayan: sapagka't niligalig sila ng Dios ng buong kapighatian.
7 and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.'
Nguni't mangagpakalakas kayo, at huwag manglata ang inyong mga kamay; sapagka't ang inyong mga gawa ay gagantihin.
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,
At nang marinig ni Asa ang mga salitang ito, at ang hula ni Obed na propeta, siya'y lumakas, at inalis ang mga karumaldumal sa buong lupain ng Juda at ng Benjamin, at sa mga bayan na kaniyang sinakop sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim; at kaniyang binago ang dambana ng Panginoon, na nasa harap ng portiko ng Panginoon.
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.
At kaniyang pinisan ang buong Juda at Benjamin, at silang mga nakikipamayan na kasama nila mula sa Ephraim at Manases, at mula sa Simeon; sapagka't sila'y nagsihilig sa kaniya na mula sa Israel na sagana, nang kanilang makita na ang Panginoon niyang Dios ay sumasa kaniya.
10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
Sa gayo'y nangagpipisan sila sa Jerusalem sa ikatlong buwan, sa ikalabing limang taon ng paghahari ni Asa.
11 and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have brought in — oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven thousand,
At sila'y nagsipaghain sa Panginoon sa araw na yaon, sa samsam na kanilang dinala, na pitong daang baka at pitong libong tupa.
12 and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul,
At sila'y pumasok sa tipan upang hanapin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, ng kanilang buong puso, at ng kanilang buong kaluluwa.
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.
At sinomang hindi humanap sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, ay papatayin, maging maliit o malaki, maging lalake o babae.
14 And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets,
At sila'y nagsisumpa sa Panginoon ng malakas na tinig, at may mga hiyawan, at may mga pakakak, at may mga patunog.
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.
At ang buong Juda ay nagalak sa sumpa: sapagka't sila'y nagsisumpa ng kanilang buong puso, at hinanap siya ng buo nilang nasa; at siya'y nasumpungan sa kanila: at binigyan sila ng Panginoon ng kapahingahan sa palibot.
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:
At si Maacha naman na ina ni Asa na hari, ay inalis niya sa pagkareina, sapagka't siya'y gumawa ng nakasusuklam na larawan na pinaka Asera; at pinutol ni Asa ang kaniyang larawan, at ginawang alabok, at sinunog sa batis ng Cedron.
17 yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days.
Nguni't ang mga mataas na dako ay hindi inalis sa Israel: gayon ma'y ang puso ni Asa ay sakdal sa lahat ng kaniyang mga kaarawan.
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.
At kaniyang ipinasok sa bahay ng Dios ang mga bagay na itinalaga ng kaniyang ama, at yaon mang kaniyang itinalaga, na pilak, at ginto, at mga sisidlan.
19 And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa.
At nawalan na ng digma sa ikatatlong pu't limang taon ng paghahari ni Asa.
