2 Tantara 15

1 Ary ny Fanahin’ Andriamanitra tonga tamin’ i Azaria, zanak’ i Odeda;

Then the Spirite of God came vpon Azariah the sonne of Obed.

2 ary dia nivoaka hitsena an’ i Asa izy ka nanao taminy hoe: Mihainoa ahy, ry Asa mbamin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra: Jehovah momba anareo, raha ianareo momba Azy; ary raha mitady Azy kosa ianareo, dia hahita Azy; fa raha mahafoy Azy ianareo, dia hahafoy anareo Izy.

And he went out to meete Asa, and said vnto him, O Asa, and all Iudah, and Beniamin, heare ye me. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him: and if ye seeke him, he wil be founde of you, but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

3 Ary efa ela ny Isiraely no tsy nanana an’ Andriamanitra marina, na mpisorona mampianatra, na lalàna.

Nowe for a long season Israel hath bene without the true God, and without Priest to teach and without Lawe.

4 Fa raha niverina tamin’ Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, izy nony azom-pahoriana, ka nitady Azy, dia nahita Azy.

But whosoeuer returned in his affliction to the Lord God of Israel, and sought him, he was founde of them.

5 Ary tamin’ izany dia tsy nisy fiadanana ho an’ izay nivoaka na izay niditra; fa horohoro be no nahazo ny mponina rehetra tamin’ ny tany.

And in that time there was no peace to him, that did goe out and goe in: but great troubles were to all the inhabitants of the earth.

6 Ary nifandringana ny firenena sy ny tanàna, fa Andriamanitra nampangorohoro azy tamin’ ny fahoriana rehetra.

For nation was destroyed of nation, and citie of citie: for God troubled them with all aduersitie.

7 Koa mahereza ianareo, fa aza miraviravy tanana; fa hisy valim-pitia tokoa ny ataonareo.

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your handes be weake: for your worke shall haue a rewarde.

8 Ary raha ren’ i Asa izany teny izany sy ny faminanian’ i Odeda mpaminany, dia niezaka izy ka nanaisotra ny sampy fahavetavetana tamin’ ny tanin’ ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra ary tamin’ ny tanàna izay azony tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, sady nanavao ny alitaran’ i Jehovah izay teo anoloan’ ny lavarangana fidirana amin’ ny tranon’ i Jehovah.

And when Asa heard these wordes, and the prophesie of Obed the Prophet, he was encouraged, and tooke away the abominations out of all the lande of Iudah, and Beniamin, and out of the cities which he had taken of mount Ephraim, and he renued the altar of the Lord, that was before the porche of the Lord.

9 Ary novoriny ny Joda sy ny Benjamina rehetra sy ny vahiny teo aminy izay avy tany amin’ ny Efraima sy ny Manase ary ny Simeona; fa betsaka no nanatona azy avy tamin’ ny Isiraely, raha hitany fa Jehovah Andriamaniny no teo aminy.

And he gathered all Iudah and Beniamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for there fell many to him out of Israel, when they sawe that the Lord his God was with him.

10 Ary nivory tany Jerosalema ireo tamin’ ny volana fahatelo tamin’ ny taona fahadimy ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Asa.

So they assembled to Ierusalem in the third moneth, in the fifteenth yere of the reigne of Asa.

11 Ary androtrizay no nanaterany fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny babo izay nentiny, dia omby fitonjato sy ondry aman’ osy fito arivo.

And they offred vnto the Lord the same time of the spoyle, which they had brought, euen seuen hundreth bullockes, and seuen thousande sheepe.

12 Ary nanao fanekena hitady an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, tamin’ ny fony rehetra sy ny fanahiny rehetra izy,

And they made a couenant to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soule.

13 ka na iza na iza tsy mety mitady an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, dia hatao maty, na kely na lehibe, na lahy na vavy.

And whosoeuer will not seeke the Lord God of Israel, shalbe slaine, whether he were small or great, man or woman.

14 Ary nianiana ho an’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny feo mahery sy ny fihobiana ary tamin’ ny trompetra sy ny anjomara izy.

And they sware vnto the Lord with a loude voyce, and with shouting and with trumpets, and with cornets.

15 Ary ny Joda rehetra nifaly noho ny fianianana, fa efa nianiana tamin’ ny fony rehetra izy sady nazoto nitady an’ i Jehovah indrindra, ka dia nahita Azy; ary Jehovah dia nanome azy fiadanana tamin’ ny manodidina fahizay.

And all Iudah reioyced at the othe: for they had sworne vnto the Lord with all their heart, and sought him with a whole desire, and he was founde of them. And the Lord gaue them rest rounde about.

16 Ary na dia Imaka, renin’ i Asa mpanjaka, aza dia naetriny tsy ho andriambavy, satria efa nanao sampy ho an’ ny Aseraha izy; ary Asa nikapa ny sampiny, dia nanorotoro ka nandoro azy tao amin’ ny lohasahan-driaka Kidrona.

And King Asa deposed Maachah his mother from her regencie, because she had made an idole in a groue: and Asa brake downe her idole, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brooke Kidron.

17 Fa ny fitoerana avo tsy mba noravana tamin’ ny Isiraely; nefa nahitsy ny fon’ i Asa tamin’ ny androny rehetra.

But the hie places were not taken away out of Israel: yet the heart of Asa was perfit all his dayes.

18 Ary nampidiriny ho ao an-tranon’ i Jehovah ny zavatra izay nohamasinin-drainy mbamin’ izay nohamasinin’ ny tenany, dia volafotsy sy volamena ary fanaka.

Also he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicate, and that he had dedicate, siluer, and golde, and vessels.

19 Ary tsy nisy ady intsony hatramin’ ny taona fahadimy amby telo-polo nanjakan’ i Asa.

And there was no warre vnto the fiue and thirtieth yeere of the reigne of Asa.
