Ii Paralipomenon 15
1 Azarias autem filius Oded facto in se spiritu Dei
And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been 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
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 transibunt autem multi dies in Israhel absque Deo vero et absque sacerdote doctore et absque lege
and many days [are] to Israel without a 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
and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is 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 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 pugnabit enim gens contra gentem et civitas contra civitatem quia Dominus conturbabit eos in omni angustia
and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;
7 vos ergo confortamini et non dissolvantur manus vestrae erit enim merces operi vestro
and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, 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 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 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 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 cumque venissent Hierusalem mense tertio anno quintodecimo regni Asa
And they are gathered to 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 sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have 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 enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, 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 every one who doth not seek for Jehovah, God of Israel, is put to death, from small unto great, from man unto woman.
14 iuraveruntque Domino voce magna in iubilo et in clangore tubae et in sonitu bucinarum
And they swear to Jehovah 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 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 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 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 excelsa autem derelicta sunt in Israhel attamen cor Asa erat perfectum cunctis diebus eius
yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days.
18 ea quae voverat pater suus et ipse intulit in domum Domini argentum et aurum vasorumque diversam supellectilem
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 bellum vero non fuit usque ad tricesimum quintum annum regni Asa
And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa.
