2 Tarihi 15
1 Sai Ruhun Allah ya sauko a kan Azariya ɗan Oded.
Now Azariah, the son of Oded, had the Spirit of God within him.
2 Ya fita ya je ya sadu da Asa ya kuma faɗa masa, “Ka saurare ni, Asa da kuma dukan Yahuda da Benyamin. Ubangiji yana tare da ku sa’ad da kuke tare da shi. In kuka neme shi, za ku same shi, amma in kuka yashe shi, zai yashe ku.
And he went out to meet Asa, and he said to him: “Listen to me, Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
3 Tun da daɗewa Isra’ila ba su da Allah na gaskiya, babu firist da zai koyar, kuma babu doka.
Then many days will pass in Israel, apart from the true God, and apart from a learned priest, and apart from the law.
4 Amma cikin wahalarsu suka juya ga Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, suka kuma neme shi, suka kuwa same shi.
And when, in their anguish, they will have returned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and will have sought him, they shall find him.
5 A waɗancan kwanaki akwai hatsari a yin tafiye-tafiye, gama dukan mazaunan ƙasashe suna cikin babbar damuwa.
In that time, there will be no peace for those who depart and those who enter. Instead, there will be terror on every side, among all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 Wata ƙasa takan murƙushe wata, wani birni kuma yakan murƙushe wani, domin Allah ya wahalshe su da kowace irin damuwa.
For nation will fight against nation, and city against city. For the Lord will disturb them with every anguish.
7 Amma game da ku, ku ƙarfafa kada ku fid da zuciya, gama za a ba ku ladan aikinku.”
But as for you, be strengthened, and do not let your hands be weakened. For there will be a reward for your work.”
8 Sa’ad da Asa ya ji waɗannan kalmomin da annabcin Azariya ɗan Oded annabi ya faɗa, sai ya sami ƙarfi hali. Ya kawar da gumaka masu banƙyama daga dukan ƙasar Yahuda da Benyamin da kuma daga garuruwan da ya ci da yaƙi a ƙasar tudu ta Efraim. Ya gyaggyara bagaden Ubangiji da yake a gaban shirayin haikalin Ubangiji.
And when Asa had heard these particular words, and the prophecy of the prophet Azariah, the son of Oded, he was strengthened, and he took away the idols from the entire land of Judah, and from Benjamin, and from the cities that he had seized of mount Ephraim, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the portico of the Lord.
9 Sa’an nan ya tattara dukan Yahuda da Benyamin da kuma mutane daga Efraim, Manasse da Simeyon waɗanda suke zaune a cikinsu, gama jama’a mai girma ta zo wurinsa daga Isra’ila sa’ad da suka ga cewa Ubangiji Allahnsa yana tare da shi.
And he gathered together all of Judah and Benjamin, and with them the new arrivals from Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon. For many had fled to him from Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.
10 Suka taru a Urushalima a wata na uku na shekara ta goma sha biyar ta mulkin Asa.
And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
11 A lokacin suka miƙa hadaya bijimai ɗari bakwai da tumaki da kuma awaki dubu bakwai ga Ubangiji daga ganimar da suka dawo da ita.
they immolated to the Lord on that day, from the best of the spoils and from the plunder that they had brought: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand rams.
12 Suka yi alkawari don su nemi Ubangiji Allah na kakanninsu, da dukan zuciyarsu da kuma dukan ransu.
And he entered, according to custom, in order to confirm the covenant, so that they would seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with their whole heart and with their whole soul.
13 Aka kashe dukan waɗanda ba su nemi Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ba, ko ƙarami ko babba, namiji ko ta mace.
“But if anyone,” he said, “will not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, let him die, from the least even to the greatest, from man even to woman.”
14 Suka yi rantsuwa ga Ubangiji da babbar murya, da ihu da garayu da ƙahoni.
And they swore to the Lord, with a great voice, in jubilation, and with the blare of trumpets, and with the sound of horns,
15 Dukan Yahuda suka yi farin ciki game da rantsuwar domin sun yi rantsuwar gabagadi. Suka nemi Allah da gaske, suka kuma same shi. Saboda haka Ubangiji ya ba su hutu a kowane gefe.
all who were in Judah swore with a curse. For with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought and found him. And the Lord granted rest on all sides to them.
16 Sarki Asa ya tuɓe mahaifiyar mahaifiyarsa daga matsayinta na mahaifiyar sarauniya, domin ta gina ginshiƙin banƙyama na Ashera. Asa ya rurrushe shi, ya farfasa shi ya kuma ƙone shi a Kwarin Kidron.
Then too, Maacah, the mother of king Asa, he deposed from the august authority, because she had made an idol of Priapus within a sacred grove. And he entirely crushed it, breaking it into pieces, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.
17 Ko da yake bai kawar da masujadan kan tudu daga Isra’ila ba, zuciyar Asa ta cika da bin Ubangiji dukan kwanakinsa.
But some high places were left in Israel. Even so, the heart of Asa was perfect during all his days.
18 Ya kawo azurfa da zinariya da kayayyaki a haikalin Allah waɗanda shi da mahaifinsa suka keɓe.
And whatever his father or he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord: silver and gold, and vessels for various uses.
19 Ba a ƙara yin yaƙi ba sai a shekara ta talatin da biyar ta mulkin Asa.
Truly, there was no war, until the thirty-fifth year of the kingdom of Asa.
