< Taariikhdii Labaad 15 >
1 Markaasaa Ruuxii Ilaah wuxuu ku soo degay Casaryaah oo ahaa ina Codeed,
And as for 'Azaryahu the son of 'Oded—on him came the spirit of God;
2 oo intuu u soo baxay inuu Aasaa ka hor tago ayuu ku yidhi, Aasaa, iyo dadkii Yahuudah iyo Benyaamiin oo dhammow, i maqla. Rabbigu wuu idinla jiraa intaad isaga la jirtaan, oo haddaad isaga doondoontaanna waad heli doontaan, laakiinse haddaad isaga ka tagtaan, isna wuu idinka tegi doonaa.
And he went out to meet Assa, and said unto him, Hear me, O Assa, and all Judah and Benjamin, The Lord is with you, while ye remain with him; and if ye seek him, he will let himself be found by you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Haddaba intii wakhti dheer ah dadka Israa'iil ma ay haysan Ilaaha runta ah, iyo wadaad iyaga wax bara, iyo sharci toona,
And many days [had elapsed] for Israel, [they being] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 laakiinse markay cidhiidhi galeen ayay u soo jeesteen oo doondooneen Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, wayna heleen.
But they returned when they were in distress unto the Lord, the God of Israel, and they sought him, and he let himself be found by them.
5 Oo waayahaas oo dhanna nabadu uma jirin kii dibadda u baxa iyo kii gudaha soo gala toona, laakiinse dadka dalalka deggan oo dhan waxaa kor saarnaa dhibaatooyin waaweyn.
And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, and to him that came in; but there were great confusions among all the inhabitants of the countries.
6 Oo iyagii way kala burbureen, oo quruumuba quruun bay ka gees noqotay, magaalona magaalay ka gees noqotay, waayo, Ilaah baa ku dhibay cidhiidhi oo dhan.
And nation was dashed to pieces against nation, and city against city; for God did confound them with all kind of distress.
7 Laakiinse idinku xoogaysta oo gacmihiinnu yay debcin, waayo, shuqulkiinna waa laydiinka abaalgudi doonaa.
But as for you, be ye strong, and let not your hands be weak; for there is a reward for your doing.
8 Oo Aasaana markuu maqlay erayadaas iyo waxsheegiddii Nebi Codeed ayuu sii dhiirranaaday, oo dalka Yahuudah iyo kan Benyaamiin oo dhan iyo magaalooyinkii uu ka qabsaday dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim wuu ka wada fogeeyey karaahiyadii, oo weliba wuxuu cusboonaysiiyey meeshii allabariga ee Rabbiga oo ku hor tiil balbalada Rabbiga.
And when Assa heard these words, and the prophecy of 'Oded the prophet, he was strengthened, and he put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had captured from the mountain of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the Lord, that was before the porch of the Lord.
9 Markaasuu soo wada shiriyey dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Benyaamiin iyo kuwii iyaga la degganaa oo ka yimid reer Efrayim iyo reer Manaseh iyo reer Simecoonba, waayo, isagay ku soo darmeen iyagoo tiro badan, markay arkeen in Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ahu uu isaga la jiro.
And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, and those that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Menasseh, and out of Simeon; for they had joined him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 Sidaas daraaddeed waxay ku soo urureen Yeruusaalem sannaddii shan iyo tobnaad oo boqortooyadii Aasaa bisheedii saddexaad.
And so they assembled themselves at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Assa.
11 Oo maalintaas waxay Rabbiga ugu allabaryeen toddoba boqol oo dibi iyo toddoba kun oo neef oo ido ah oo ka mid ah dhicii ay keeneen.
And they sacrificed unto the Lord on the same day, of the booty which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 Oo waxay axdi ku galeen inay Rabbiga Ilaaha awowayaashooda ah ku doondoonaan qalbigooda oo dhan iyo naftooda oo dhan,
And they entered into the covenant to seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 iyo in la dilo ku alla kii aan doondoonin Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, hadduu yar yahay iyo hadduu weyn yahay, ama hadduu nin yahay iyo hadday naag tahayba.
So that whosoever would not seek the Lord the God of Israel should be put to death, from the small even up to the great, whether it be man or woman.
14 Oo waxay Rabbiga ugu dhaarteen cod weyn iyo qaylo iyo turumbooyin iyo buunan.
And they swore unto the Lord with a loud voice, and with [joyful] shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Oo dadkii Yahuudah oo dhammu way ku reyreeyeen dhaartii, maxaa yeelay, qalbigooda oo dhan ayay ku dhaarteen, oo waxay isaga ku doondooneen xiisahooda oo dhan, wayna heleen, oo Rabbiguna hareerahooda oo dhan wuu ka nasiyey.
And all Judah rejoiced because of the oath; for with all their heart had they sworn, and with their whole desire did they seek him, and he let himself be found by them: and the Lord gave them rest on every side.
16 Oo weliba Macakaah oo ahayd Boqor Aasaa hooyadiis boqoradnimadii wuu ka dejiyey, maxaa yeelay, waxay sanam karaahiya ah u samaysay geed Asheeraah, oo Aasaa sanamkeedii wuu jebiyey oo wuxuu ka dhigay boodh, wuxuuna ku gubay durdurka Qidroon agtiisa.
And also concerning Ma'achah the mother of king Assa, he removed her from being queen, because she had made a scandalous image for the grove; and Assa cut down her scandalous image, and had it ground up, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.
17 Laakiinse meelihii sarsare dalka Israa'iil lagama baabbi'in, habase yeeshee Aasaa qalbigiisu wuu qummanaa cimrigiisii oo dhan.
But the high-places were not removed out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Assa was entire all his days.
18 Oo gurigii Ilaah wuxuu soo geliyey alaabtii aabbihiis quduuska ka dhigay iyo alaabtii uu isaga qudhiisu quduuska ka dhigay, waxayna ahayd lacag iyo dahab iyo weelal.
And be brought the things which his father had sanctified, and his own sanctified things, into the house of God, —silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Oo dagaal dambena ma jirin ilaa sannaddii shan iyo soddonaad ee Aasaa boqornimadiisii.
And there was no war until the five-and-thirtieth year of the reign of Assa.
