Otra Laiku 15
1 Tad Dieva Gars nāca uz Azariju, Odeda dēlu.
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 went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Un daudz dienas būs iekš Israēla bez īsta Dieva, bez priestera, kas māca, un bez bauslības.
Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without 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 distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
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 to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 Tā ka tauta celsies pret tautu, pilsēta sadauzīs pilsētu, jo Dievs tos iztrūcinās ar visādām bēdām.
They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
7 Bet jūs esat droši, un jūsu rokas lai nenogurst, jo jūsu darbam būs sava alga.
But you be strong, and do not let your hands be slack; for your work shall 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.
When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Azariah the son 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 vestibule of the LORD.
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.
He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived 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 Un tie sapulcējās Jeruzālemē trešā mēnesī, Asas valdīšanas piecpadsmitā gadā,
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 Un upurēja Tam Kungam tai dienā no tā laupījuma, ko tie bija atveduši, septiņsimt vēršus un septiņtūkstoš avis.
They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle 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;
They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 Bet visus, kas nemeklē To Kungu, Israēla Dievu, nokaut, tā mazus kā lielus, tā vīrus kā sievas.
and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 Un tie Tam Kungam zvērēja ar stipru balsi un gavilēšanu, arī ar trumetēm un bazūnēm.
They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
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.
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 all around.
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.
Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed 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 in the Kidron Valley.
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: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 Un viņš ienesa Dieva namā visas sava tēva svētītās dāvanas, un ko viņš pats bija svētījis, sudrabu un zeltu un traukus.
He brought into God's house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Un kara nebija līdz trīsdesmit piektam Asas valdīšanas gadam.
There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
