II Oihanaalii 15

1 HIKI mai la ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o Azaria ke keiki a Odeda;

And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

2 Hele aku la ia e halawai pu me Asa, i aku la ia ia, E hoolohe mai ia'u, e Asa, a me ka Iuda a pau, a me ka Beniamina; o Iehova pu kekahi me oukou i ko oukou noho pu ana me ia; ina e imi oukou ia ia, e loaa no oia ia oukou; aka, ina e haalele oukou ia ia, e haalele kela ia oukou.

And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear all of you me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while all of you be with him; and if all of you seek him, he will be found of you; but if all of you forsake him, he will forsake you.

3 I na la he nui loa, aole ia Iseraela ke Akua oiaio, aohe kahuna ao, aole ke kanawai.

Now for a long season Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

4 Aka, i ko lakou wa pilikia, a huli lakou ia Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, a imi aku ia ia, ua loaa no oia ia lakou.

But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

5 I keia mau la, aole maluhia o ka mea i puka iwaho, a me ka mea i komo iloko, no ka mea, nui ka haunaele ma ko na aina a pau loa.

And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.

6 Ua lukuia kekahi lahuikanaka, e kekahi lahuikanaka, a me kekahi kulanakauhale e kekahi kulanakauhale; no ka mea, ua hooweliweli mai ke Akua ia lakou me na mea ino a pau.

And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

7 E hookanaka oukou, aole e hoonawaliwali ko oukou mau lima; no ka mea, e ukuia ka oukou hana ana.

Be all of you strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

8 A lohe ae la o Asa i keia mau olelo a me ka wanana a Odeda ke kaula, hooikaika iho la oia ia ia iho, a kipaku aku la i na kii lapuwale mai ka aina aku a pau o Iuda, a me Beniamina a me na kulanakauhale ana i lawe pio ai ma ka mauna o Eperaima: a hana hou oia i ke kuahu o Iehova, aia no imua o ka lanai o Iehova.

And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

9 A hoakoakoa oia i ka Iuda a pau, a me ka Beniamina, a me ka poe malihini e noho pu ana me lakou mai loko mai o Eperaima a me Manase, a mai loko mai o Simeona; no ka mea, he nui loa ka poe no ka Iseraela i lilo mai ia ia, i ko lakou ike ana, aia no o Iehova kekahi pu me ia.

And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

10 A ua hoakoakoaia lakou ma Ierusalema, i ka malama ekolu o ka makahiki umikumamalima o ke aupuni o Asa.

So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

11 A mohai aku la lakou ia Iehova ia la i kekahi o ka waiwai pio a lakou i lawe ai, ehiku haneri bipi, a me na hipa ehiku tausani.

And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

12 Hana iho la lakou i ka berita e imi ia Iehova i ke Akua o ko lakou poe kupuna me ko lakou naau a pau a me ko lakou uhane a pau;

And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

13 A o kela mea keia mea i imi ole aku ia Iehova i ke Akua o ka Iseraela, e make no ia, ka mea uuku a me ka mea nui, o ke kane a me ka wahine.

That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

14 A hoohiki lakou ia Iehova me ka leo nui, a me ka uwa ana, a me na pu a me na mea hokiokio.

And they swore unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

15 A olioli o ka Iuda a pau no ka hoohiki ana; no ka mea, hoohiki lakou me ko lakou naau a pau, a ua imi lakou ia ia, me ko lakou makemake a pau a ua loaa no oia ia lakou. A hoomalu o Iehova ia lakou a puni.

And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.

16 A o Maaka ka makuwahine o Asa ke alii, kipaku aku la oia ia ia mai kona nohoalii ana'ku, no ka mea, ua hana oia i kii no Asetarota, wawahi iho la o Asa i kana kii, a hehi oia ia mea, a puhi i ke ahi ma ke kahawai o Kederona.

And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

17 Aole hoi i laweia'ku na wahi kiekie mai Iseraela aku; aka, o ka naau o Asa, ua pololei no ia i kona mau la a pau loa.

But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

18 A ua hookomo oia iloko o ka hale o ke Akua i na mea a kona makuakane i hoolaa ai, a me kana mau mea laa no hoi, i ke kala a me ke gula a me na ipu.

And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.

19 Aole kana hou a hiki i ka makahiki kanakolukumamalima o ke aupuni o Asa.

And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
