1 Ngun lun God tuku nu facl Azariah wen natul Oded,
And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God,
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.
and he goeth out before Asa, and saith to him, 'Hear, me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Jehovah [is] with you — in your being with Him, and if ye seek Him, He is found of you, and if ye forsake Him, He forsaketh 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.
and many days [are] to Israel without a true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
4 Tusruktu ke pacl oasr mwe lokoalok nu selos, na elos forla nu sin LEUM GOD lun Israel. Elos sokol ac elos konalak.
and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them,
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.
and in those times there is no peace to him who is going out, and to him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
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.
and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;
7 Tusruktu kowos in ku na ac tia fuhleak. Ac fah oasr lacnen orekma lowos.”
and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.'
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.
And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that [is] before the porch of Jehovah,
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.
and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon — for they have fallen unto him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that Jehovah his God [is] with him.
10 Elos tukeni nu Jerusalem in malem se aktolu in yac aksingoul limekosr ma Asa el tokosra.
And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
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.
and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have brought in — oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven thousand,
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.
and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul,
13 Kutena mwet sin mwet fusr ku mwet matu, mukul ku mutan, su tia alu nu sel, ac fah anwuki.
and every one who doth not seek for Jehovah, God of Israel, is put to death, from small unto great, from man unto 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.
And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets,
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.
and rejoice do all Judah concerning the oath, for with all their heart they have sworn, and with all their good-will they have sought Him, and He is found of them, and Jehovah giveth rest to them round about.
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.
And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king — he hath removed her from [being] mistress, in that she hath made for a shrine a horrible thing, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and beateth [it] small, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron:
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.
yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days.
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.
And he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Wanginla mweun nwe ke sun yac aktolngoul limekosr in pacl el tokosra.
And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa.
