2 Cronicas 15
1 Immay ti espiritu ti Dios kenni Azarias a putot ni Obed.
The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded.
2 Napanna sinabat ni Asa ket kinunana kenkuana, “Dumngegka kaniak Asa, ken dagiti amin a tattao ti Juda ken Benjamin: Adda kadakayo ni Yahweh, kabayatan iti kaaddayo kenkuana. No sapulenyo isuna, masarakanyonto isuna; ngem no tallikudanyo isuna, baybay-annakayonto.
He went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! The LORD is with you while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Ita, nabayag a tiempo nga awan iti Israel ti pudno a Dios, ken awan padi a mangisuro, ken awan linteg.
Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 Ngem iti tiempo ti pannakaparigatda, nagsublida kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, sinapulda isuna, ket nasarakanda.
But when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5 Kadagidiay a tiempo, awan talna iti tao nga agdaliasat iti sadinoman; ngem ketdi, adda nakaro a pannakariribuk kadagiti amin nga agnanaed kadagiti daga.
In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 Narumekrumekda, nasion maibusor iti nasion, ken siudad maibusor iti siudad, ta riniribuk ida ti Dios babaen kadagiti amin a kita ti panagsagaba.
They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
7 Ngem bumilegkayo koma, ket saanyo nga ipalubos a kumapsut dagiti imayo, ta magunggonaanto ti trabahoyo.”
But you be strong! Do not let your hands be slack, for your work will be rewarded.”
8 Idi nangngeg ni Asa dagitoy a sasao, a padto ni profeta Obed, timmured isuna ket inikkatna dagiti makarimon a banbanag iti amin a daga ti Juda ken Benjamin ken kadagiti siudad a sinakupna iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim; ken tinarimaanna ti altar ni Yahweh nga adda iti sangoanan ti balkon ti balay ni Yahweh.
When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed the LORD’s altar that was before the LORD’s porch.
9 Inummongna dagiti amin a tattao iti Juda ken Benjamin, ken dagiti makipagnanaed kadakuada-dagiti tattao a nagtaud iti Efraim, Manases ken Simeon. Ta aduda a naggapu iti Israel a napan kenkuana, idi nakitada nga adda kenkuana ni Yahweh a Diosna.
He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon; for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
10 Isu a naguummongda idiay Jerusalem iti maikatlo a bulan, iti maika-sangapulo ket lima a tawen a panagturay ni Asa.
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11 Iti dayta nga aldaw, indatonda kenni Yahweh ti dadduma a sinamsamda nga awitda; pito gasut a bulog a baka ken pito ribu a karnero ken kalding.
They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, of the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
12 Nagaramidda iti katulagan a sapulenda ni Yahweh a Dios dagiti kapuonanda, iti amin a pusoda ken iti amin a kararuada.
They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 Immanamongda a siasinoman a saan a mangsapul kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel ket rumbeng a mapapatay, ubing man wenno nataengan, lalaki man wenno babai.
and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 Nagsapatada kenni Yahweh iti napigsa a timek, babaen iti panagpukpukkawda, ken babaen kadagiti trumpeta ken tangguyob.
They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Nagrag-o dagiti amin a tattao ti Juda gapu iti sapata, ta nagsapatada iti amin a pusoda, ken sinapulda ni Yahweh iti amin a tarigagayda; ket nasarakanda isuna. Inikkan ida ni Yahweh iti talna iti aglawlawda.
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 by them. Then the LORD gave them rest all around.
16 Inikkatna pay ni Maaca, nga apongna a babai manipud iti kinareynana, gapu ta nagaramid isuna iti makarimon nga imahen ni Asera. Tinumba ni Asa ti makarimon nga imahen, binurakna sana pinuoran daytoy idiay waig ti Kidron.
Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; so Asa cut down her image, ground it into dust, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
17 Ngem saan a naikkat dagiti pagdaydayawan idiay Israel. Nupay kasta, naan-anay a napudno ti puso ni Asa kadagiti amin nga aldawna.
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 Impanna iti balay ti Dios dagiti alikamen ti amana ken dagiti bukodna nga alikamen a kukua ni Yahweh: dagiti pirak ken balitok.
He brought the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated, silver, gold, and vessels into God’s house.
19 Awanen ti gubat agingga iti maika-35 a tawen a panagturay ni Asa.
There was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
