Ii Paralipomenon 15
1 Azarias autem filius Oded facto in se spiritu Dei
And the spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2 egressus est in occursum Asa et dixit ei audite me Asa et omnis Iuda et Beniamin Dominus vobiscum quia fuistis cum eo si quaesieritis eum invenietis si autem dereliqueritis derelinquet vos
and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him he will forsake you.
3 transibunt autem multi dies in Israhel absque Deo vero et absque sacerdote doctore et absque lege
Now for long seasons Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law:
4 cumque reversi fuerint in angustia sua ad Dominum Deum Israhel et quaesierint eum repperient
But when in their distress they turned unto the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
5 in tempore illo non erit pax egredienti et ingredienti sed terrores undique in cunctis habitatoribus terrarum
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 lands.
6 pugnabit enim gens contra gentem et civitas contra civitatem quia Dominus conturbabit eos in omni angustia
And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
7 vos ergo confortamini et non dissolvantur manus vestrae erit enim merces operi vestro
But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack: for your work shall be rewarded.
8 quod cum audisset Asa verba scilicet et prophetiam Oded prophetae confortatus est et abstulit idola de omni terra Iuda et Beniamin et ex urbibus quas ceperat montis Ephraim et dedicavit altare Domini quod erat ante porticum Domini
And 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 altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
9 congregavitque universum Iuda et Beniamin et advenas cum eis de Ephraim et de Manasse et de Symeon plures enim ad eum confugerant ex Israhel videntes quod Dominus Deus illius esset cum eo
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned 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 cumque venissent Hierusalem mense tertio anno quintodecimo regni Asa
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 immolaverunt Domino in die illa de manubiis et praeda quam adduxerant boves septingentos et arietes septem milia
And they sacrificed unto the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 et intravit ex more ad corroborandum foedus ut quaererent Dominum Deum patrum suorum in toto corde et in tota anima sua
And they entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 si quis autem inquit non quaesierit Dominum Deum Israhel moriatur a minimo usque ad maximum a viro usque ad mulierem
and that whosoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 iuraveruntque Domino voce magna in iubilo et in clangore tubae et in sonitu bucinarum
And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice; and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 omnes qui erant in Iuda cum execratione in omni enim corde suo iuraverunt et in tota voluntate quaesierunt eum et invenerunt praestititque eis Dominus requiem per circuitum
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 sed et Maacham matrem Asa regis ex augusto deposuit imperio eo quod fecisset in luco simulacrum Priapi quod omne contrivit et in frusta comminuens conbusit in torrente Cedron
And also Maacah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
17 excelsa autem derelicta sunt in Israhel attamen cor Asa erat perfectum cunctis diebus eius
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 ea quae voverat pater suus et ipse intulit in domum Domini argentum et aurum vasorumque diversam supellectilem
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 bellum vero non fuit usque ad tricesimum quintum annum regni Asa
And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
