Luo Chronicle 15
1 Ngun lun God tuku nu facl Azariah wen natul Oded,
The Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
2 ac el som in osun nu sel Tokosra Asa. El pangla nu yorol ac fahk, “Tokosra Asa, ac kowos mwet Judah ac mwet Benjamin nukewa, lohng ma nga ac fahk uh! LEUM GOD El wi kowos ke lusen pacl kowos welul. Kowos fin sokol, El ac lela kowos in konalak. A kowos fin forla lukel, El ac fah ngetla liki kowos.
He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you while you are with him. If you look for him, you will find him; but if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
3 In pacl na loeloes se, mwet Israel elos tuh moul sayen God pwaye, ac wangin mwet tol in lotelos, ac wangin pac ma sap yorolos.
For many years Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach them, and without the law.
4 Tusruktu ke pacl oasr mwe lokoalok nu selos, na elos forla nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel. Elos sokol ac elos konalak.
But when they were in trouble they returned to the Lord, the God of Israel—they looked for him, and they found him.
5 In len ingo wangin mwet ku in forot forma ac wangin ma sikyak nu selos, mweyen oasr mwe ongoiya ac lokoalok sikyak in acn nukewa.
During those times travel was dangerous, for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. People everywhere had terrible problems.
6 Kais sie mutunfacl akkeokye mutunfacl saya, ac kais sie siti akkeokye siti saya, mweyen God El sang mwe ongoiya ac mwe asor nu faclos.
Nation fought nation, and town fought town, for God threw them into a panic with all kinds of trouble.
7 Tusruktu kowos in ku na ac tia fuhleak. Ac fah oasr lacnen orekma lowos.”
But you need to be strong, not weak, for you will be rewarded for the work you do.”
8 Ke Asa el lohng kas in palu ma Azariah wen natul Oded el fahk inge, kui nunkal. Na el kunausla ma sruloala nukewa in acn Judah ac Benjamin, oayapa ma sruloala nukewa in siti ma el sruokya infulan eol Ephraim. El oayapa aksasuyela loang lun LEUM GOD ma oan in kalkal in Tempul.
When Asa heard these words of prophecy from Azariah the prophet, son of Oded, he was encouraged. He removed the vile idols from the whole territory of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. Then he repaired the altar of the Lord that stood in front of the porch of the Lord's Temple.
9 Pukanten mwet welulang Asa su tuku Ephraim, Manasseh, ac Simeon me ac inge elos muta in tokosrai lal, mweyen elos liye lah LEUM GOD El welul. Asa el pangoneni mwet inge nukewa, wi mwet Judah ac mwet Benjamin.
Then Asa summoned all of Judah and Benjamin, along with those Israelites from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were living among them, for many people had deserted Israel and come over to Asa when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 Elos tukeni nu Jerusalem in malem se aktolu in yac aksingoul limekosr ma Asa el tokosra.
They gathered in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign.
11 In len sac elos orek kisa nu sin LEUM GOD ke ma wap ma elos use ke elos foloko liki mweun. Oasr cow itfoko ac tausin itkosr ke sheep.
That day they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from the plunder they had brought back.
12 Elos orala sie wulela ac elos insesela kac mu elos ac alu na nu sin LEUM GOD lun papa tumalos ke insialos ac ngunalos kewa.
Then they made an agreement to conscientiously and completely follow the Lord, the God of their forefathers.
13 Kutena mwet sin mwet fusr ku mwet matu, mukul ku mutan, su tia alu nu sel, ac fah anwuki.
They also agreed that anyone who refused to follow the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
14 Elos orala fulahk ku lalos ke pusra lulap Inen LEUM GOD lah elos ac karinganang na wulela se inge. Na elos sasa ac ukya mwe ukuk.
They declared their oath with a loud shout, accompanied by trumpets and blasts from rams' horns.
15 Mwet Judah nukewa elos engan ke sripen elos tuh orala wulela se inge ke insialos kewa. Elos insewowo in alu nu sin LEUM GOD, ac El insewowo selos ac sang tuh in oasr misla inmasrlolos ac mwet nukewa su muta raunelosla.
The whole of Judah was happy at the oath they had conscientiously sworn. They looked for him sincerely, and they found him. The Lord gave them peace from all their enemies.
16 Tokosra Asa el eisla wal lun kasra lukel Maacah, nina matu kial, mweyen el tuh orala sie ma sruloala fohkfok ke god mutan se pangpang Asherah. Asa el pakiya ma sruloala sac ac pakpukiya ac furreak Infahlfal Kidron.
King Asa also removed Maacah from her position as queen mother for making an offensive Asherah pole. Asa cut down her vile idol, crushed it up, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
17 Asa el ne tia kunausla nufon nien alu lun mwet pegan in facl sel, tusruktu el oaru na nu sin LEUM GOD in moul lal nufon.
While the high places were not removed from Israel, Asa was completely devoted to the Lord all his life.
18 Ma nukewa ma Abijah, papa tumal, el tuh kisakunang nu sin God, Asa el likiya nufon in Tempul, weang pac ma orek ke gold ac silver ma el sifacna kisakunang.
He brought into God's Temple the silver and gold articles he and his father had dedicated.
19 Wanginla mweun nwe ke sun yac aktolngoul limekosr in pacl el tokosra.
There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign.
