Otra Laiku 15
1 Tad Dieva Gars nāca uz Azariju, Odeda dēlu.
And the spirit of God came on Azariah, the son of Oded;
2 Un tas izgāja Asam pretī un uz to sacīja: klausiet mani, Asa un viss Jūda un Benjamin. Tas Kungs ir ar jums, kamēr jūs esat ar Viņu, un ja jūs Viņu meklēsiet, Viņš no jums taps atrasts. Bet ja jūs Viņu atstāsiet, tad Viņš jūs arīdzan atstās.
And he came face to face with Asa and said to him, Give ear to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; if your heart's desire is for him, he will be near you, but if you give him up, he will give you up.
3 Un daudz dienas būs iekš Israēla bez īsta Dieva, bez priestera, kas māca, un bez bauslības.
Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without the law;
4 Taču ja tie savās bēdās atgriezīsies pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, un Viņu meklēs, tad Viņš no tiem taps atrasts.
But when in their trouble they were turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, searching after him, he let their search be rewarded.
5 Un tanīs laikos labi neklāsies ne tam, kas iziet, ne tam, kas ieiet, bet daudz briesmu būs pār zemes iedzīvotājiem,
In those times there was no peace for him who went out or for him who came in, but great trouble was on all the people of the lands.
6 Tā ka tauta celsies pret tautu, pilsēta sadauzīs pilsētu, jo Dievs tos iztrūcinās ar visādām bēdām.
And they were broken by divisions, nation against nation and town against town, because God sent all sorts of trouble on them.
7 Bet jūs esat droši, un jūsu rokas lai nenogurst, jo jūsu darbam būs sava alga.
But be you strong and let not your hands be feeble, for your work will be rewarded.
8 Kad nu Asa dzirdēja šos vārdus un pravieša Odeda(dēla) sludināšanu, tad viņš ņēmās drošu prātu un izdeldēja tās negantības no visas Jūda un Benjamina zemes un no tām pilsētām, ko bija uzņēmis Efraīma kalnos, un atjaunoja Tā Kunga altāri, kas priekš Tā Kunga priekšnama stāvēja.
And Asa, hearing these words of Azariah, the son of Oded the prophet, took heart and put away all the disgusting things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the towns which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he made new again the altar of the Lord in front of the covered way of the Lord's house.
9 Un viņš sapulcināja visu Jūdu un Benjaminu un tos, kas pie viņiem piemita, no Efraīma un Manasus un no Sīmeana; jo no Israēla tam daudzi pieķērās, kad tie redzēja, ka Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs bija ar viņu.
And he got together all Judah and Benjamin and those of Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon who were living with them; for numbers of them came to him out of Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 Un tie sapulcējās Jeruzālemē trešā mēnesī, Asas valdīšanas piecpadsmitā gadā,
So they came together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the rule of Asa.
11 Un upurēja Tam Kungam tai dienā no tā laupījuma, ko tie bija atveduši, septiņsimt vēršus un septiņtūkstoš avis.
And that day they made offerings to the Lord of the things they had taken in war, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 Un tie atjaunoja to derību, meklēt To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles;
And they made an agreement to be true to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and all their soul;
13 Bet visus, kas nemeklē To Kungu, Israēla Dievu, nokaut, tā mazus kā lielus, tā vīrus kā sievas.
And that anyone, small or great, man or woman, who was not true to the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death.
14 Un tie Tam Kungam zvērēja ar stipru balsi un gavilēšanu, arī ar trumetēm un bazūnēm.
And they made an oath to the Lord, with a loud voice, sounding wind-instruments and horns.
15 Un viss Jūda priecājās par šo zvērestu, jo tie no visas sirds bija zvērējuši un meklēja Viņu ar visu prātu, un Viņš no tiem likās atrasties, un Tas Kungs tiem deva mieru visapkārt.
And all Judah was glad because of the oath, for they had taken it with all their heart, turning to the Lord with all their desire; and he was with them and gave them rest on every side.
16 Viņš arī nocēla Maēku, ķēniņa Asas vecmāti, no ķēniņienes goda, tāpēc ka tā bija taisījusi negantu elka bildi Ašerai, un Asa izdeldēja arī viņas elka bildi un to sadauzīja un sadedzināja pie Kidronas upes.
And Asa would not let Maacah, his mother, be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had her image cut down and broken up and burned by the stream Kidron.
17 Bet kalnu altāri netapa izdeldēti iekš Israēla, tikai Asas sirds bija skaidra visu viņa mūžu.
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.
18 Un viņš ienesa Dieva namā visas sava tēva svētītās dāvanas, un ko viņš pats bija svētījis, sudrabu un zeltu un traukus.
He took into the house of God all the things which his father had made holy and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.
19 Un kara nebija līdz trīsdesmit piektam Asas valdīšanas gadam.
And there was no more war till the thirty-fifth year of the rule of Asa.
