1 Anumzamofo Avamumo'a Obeti nemofo Azariante emanigeno,
The Spirit of God came upon Azariah, the son of Obed.
2 Asante vuno amanage huno ome asmi'ne, Asagane maka Judane Benzameni nagamotanena antahiho, Ra Anumzamo'a, Agri'enema mani'nazageno'a tamagrane mani'ne. Tamagrama Agriku'ma hakenutma Agrira haketa eri fore hugahaze. Hianagi tamagrama tamagenama humisageno'a, Agranena ana zanke huno amagena huramigahie.
Azariah went to talk with Asa, and said to him, “Asa and all [you men of the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin, listen to me. Yahweh is with you whenever you are trusting in him. If you request him [to help you], he will help you, but if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
3 Hagi za'za kna Israeli vahe'mo'za tamage Anumzanena omanizageno, pristi vahe'mo'za zamagri'enena manine'za rempia huozmizageno, kasegemo'a zamagri'enena omne'ne.
For many years the Israeli people did not know the true God, and they did not have priests or God’s laws.
4 Hianagi knazampima unefre'za Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamofonku rukrahe hu'za eme nehake'za, Agrira ke'za eri fore hu'naze.
But when they experienced trouble, they turned to Yahweh our God, and requested him to help them. And he helped them.
5 Hagi ana knafina Israeli mopamofo agu'afina hazenke zamo'a avitegeno, kama vanoma hu'zamo'a amuho hige'za kana vanoa osu'naze.
At that time, people were not safe when they traveled, because all the people who lived in the nearby countries were experiencing many difficulties.
6 Hagi mago kumamo'a otino mago kumara ha'rentegeno, ranra kumapi vahe'mo'za ha orente arente hu'za umani emani hu'naze. Na'ankure tusi hazenke maka kaziga Anumzamo'a atregeno hazenkemo kagi'ne.
The people of various nations were thoroughly defeated by [armies of] other nations, and people in some cities were crushed by [armies from] other cities, because God was allowing them to experience many difficulties.
7 Hianagi tamagra korora osuta hankavetitma eri'zana eriho. Na'ankure eri'zama erinesaza kante mizana erigahaze.
But you people, you must be strong and do not become discouraged, because [God] will reward you for what you do [to please him.”]
8 Hagi kasnampa ne' Odeti nemofo Azaria'ma hiankema Asa'ma nentahino'a, hankave e'nerino Judama, Benzamenima, Efraemi agona kokampima me'nea rankumapima ante'naza kaza osu havi anumzatmina maka eri netreno, Ra Anumzamofo kresramna vu ita Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo avugama me'neana, eri so'e hu'ne.
When Asa heard what the prophet Azariah said, he was encouraged. He [commanded his workers to] remove all the detestable idols from everywhere in the land of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and from the towns that [his soldiers] had captured in the hills of the tribe of Ephraim. Asa’s workers repaired the altar [where people offered sacrifices] to Yahweh that was in front of the entrance to the temple [in Jerusalem].
9 Asa'a mika Juda vahe'ene Benzameni naga'enena zamavare atru nehuno, Efraemi naga'ma Manase naga'ma Simeoni naga'ma Juda mopafi nemaniza vahe'enena kehu atru hu'ne. Na'ankure Ra Anumzana Asa Anumzamo'a agri'ene mani'nege'za kazana hige'za, rama'a Israeli vahe'mo'za Asa'ene emani'naze.
Then he gathered all [the people of the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin and many people from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were living among them. [He was able to do that] because many people from [those tribes in] Israel had come to me to Judah when they realized that Yahweh, the God that Asa [worshiped], was helping him.
10 Asa'ma kinima manino egeno 15nima hia kafumofo 3 ikantera, ana vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi kumate emeri atru hu'naze.
After Asa had been ruling for almost 15 years, in May of that year, those people gathered in Jerusalem.
11 Hagi ha'ma hazafinti'ma zamavare'zama e'naza afutmimpintira 700'a bulimakao afutamine, 7tauseni'a sipisipi afutamine ahe'za Ra Anumzamofontega Kresramana vu'naze.
At that time they sacrificed to Yahweh 700 bulls and 7,000 sheep and goats, from the animals that they had captured [when they defeated the army of Ethiopia/Sudan].
12 Ana nehu'za Ra Anumzana zamafahe'i Anumzamofona zamagu'zmenteti amage antegahune hu'za huhagerafi huvempagea hu'naze.
They solemnly made an agreement to very sincerely worship Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
13 Hagi mago mofavremo'o, ra vahe'mo'o, vemo'o, a'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofoma ovararisiana ahe frigahune hu'za kea anaki'naze.
They promised to execute all those who would not worship Yahweh, including those who were important and those who were not important, both men and women.
14 Ana maka vahe'mo'za ranke hu'za kezaneti'za, ufena nere'za Ra Anumzamofona avaririgahune hu'za huvempa kea hu'za eri hankaveti'naze.
They shouted and blew trumpets and other horns while they solemnly promised to do that.
15 Hagi Juda vahe'mo'za tusi muse hu'naze. Na'ankure zamagra hu'za tagu'areti huta amage antegahune hu'za huvempa nehu'za Anumzamofona antahigazageno, Ra Anumzamo'a kezmia antahi'ne. E'ina hazageno Ra Anumzamo'a mika kaziga ha'zana eri atrege'za, fru hu'za mani'naze.
All the people who were living in Judah were happy with the agreement because they had solemnly and very sincerely promised to keep it. They eagerly requested help from Yahweh, and he helped them. So he enabled them to have peace throughout their country.
16 Ma'aka'ma kuinima mani'neana kuini tra'aretira negeho Asa'a azeri netreno, havi anumza Asera amema'ama antreno tro'ma hunte'nea zafaramina antagino kitaginkotago huno Kidroni agupofi teve hanavazino kre fanane hu'ne. Na'ankure Ma'aka'a kasrino hi'mnage avu'ava huno, zafa antreno Asera havi anumzamofo amema'a tro hunte'negu anara hu'ne.
King Asa’s grandmother Maacah had made a disgusting pole for [worshiping the goddess] Asherah. So Asa [commanded his workers to] cut down that pole and chop it into pieces and burn it in the Kidron Valley. He then did not allow Maacah to continue [to influence the people because of her] being the mother of the previous king.
17 Hagi Asa'a maka havi anumzama mono'ma hunentaza kumatmina Israeli mopafintira eri havizana osune. Hianagi Asa'ma kinima mani'nea knafina tamage huno maka agu'areti huno Ra Anumzamofona amagera nenteno mago havizana osu'ne.
Although Asa’s [workers] did not get rid of the shrines on the hilltops in Israel, he was very determined to [do what] pleased Yahweh all his life.
18 Hagi nefa'ene agranema Anumzamofo suzanema huke eri atru hu'na'a silvane goline mago'a zantaminena, erino Anumzamofo mono nompi ome ante'ne.
He [ordered his workers to] bring into God’s temple all the silver and gold and other valuable items that he and his father had dedicated [to God].
19 Hagi Asa'ma 35'a kafufima kinima mani'neno'ma kvama hu'nea knafina, ha'zana omane'ne.
There were no more wars [in Judah] until Asa had been ruling Judah almost 35 years.
