Ii Paralipomenon 15
1 Azarias autem filius Oded facto in se spiritu Dei
Now, as for Azariah son of Oded, there came upon him, the spirit of God.
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
So he went forth to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin, —Yahweh, is with you, so long as ye are 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, many days, had Israel been, —without the faithful God, and without a teaching priest, and without the law;
4 cumque reversi fuerint in angustia sua ad Dominum Deum Israhel et quaesierint eum repperient
But they turned, in their distress, unto Yahweh God of Israel, —and sought him, and 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 had been no prosperity, to him that went out nor to him that came in, —for, great consternations, 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 beaten in pieces-nation against nation, and city against city, —for, God, discomfited them with all manner of distress.
7 vos ergo confortamini et non dissolvantur manus vestrae erit enim merces operi vestro
Ye, therefore, be strong, and let not your hands be slack, —for there is a reward for your work!
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 strengthened himself, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured out of the hill country of Ephraim, —and renewed the altar of Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh.
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 together all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them, out of Ephraim and out of Manasseh, and out of Simeon, —for they fell unto him out of Israel, in great numbers, because they saw that, Yahweh his God, was with him.
10 cumque venissent Hierusalem mense tertio anno quintodecimo regni Asa
So they gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem, in the third month of 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 Yahweh, on that day, out of the spoil they had brought in, —oxen, seven hundred, and sheep, seven thousand.
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 a covenant, to seek Yahweh, 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, whosoever would not seek unto Yahweh 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
So they bound themselves by oath unto Yahweh, with a loud voice, and with shouting, —and with trumpets and with horns.
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 over the oath, for, with all their heart, had they sworn, and, with all their good will, had they sought him, and he was found of them, —and Yahweh 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
Moreover also, as touching Maacah mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made, unto the Sacred Stem, a monstrous thing, —so Asa cut down her monstrous thing, and reduced it to dust, and burnt it up, in the Kidron ravine.
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, —only, 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 the hallowed things of his father and his own hallowed things, into the house of God, —silver and gold, and utensils.
19 bellum vero non fuit usque ad tricesimum quintum annum regni Asa
And, war, was there none, —until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
