2 Mga Cronica 15
1 At ang espiritu ng Dios ay suma kay Azarias na anak ni Obed:
And the Spirit of God has been on Azariah son of Oded,
2 At siya'y lumabas na sinalubong si Asa, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Dinggin ninyo ako, Asa, at buong Juda at Benjamin: ang Panginoon ay sumasa inyo samantalang kayo'y sumasa kaniya: at kung inyong hanapin siya, siya'y masusumpungan ninyo; nguni't kung pabayaan ninyo siya, kaniyang pababayaan kayo.
and he goes out before Asa and says to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; YHWH [is] with you—in your being with Him, and if you seek Him, He is found by you, and if you forsake Him, He forsakes you;
3 Ngayon nga ang Israel ay malaon nang walang Dios na tunay at walang tagapagturong saserdote, at walang kautusan:
and many days [are] to Israel without [the] true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
4 Nguni't nang sa kanilang kapanglawan ay nagsipagbalik sila sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, at hinanap nila siya, siya'y nasumpungan nila.
and it turns back in its distress to YHWH, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found by them,
5 At nang mga panahong yaon ay walang kapayapaan sa kaniya na lumabas, o sa kaniya na pumasok, kundi malaking ligalig ang nangasa lahat ng mga nananahan sa mga lupain.
and in those times there is no peace for him who is going out, and for him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
6 At sila'y nagkapangkatpangkat, bansa laban sa bansa, at bayan laban sa bayan: sapagka't niligalig sila ng Dios ng buong kapighatian.
and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God has troubled them with every adversity;
7 Nguni't mangagpakalakas kayo, at huwag manglata ang inyong mga kamay; sapagka't ang inyong mga gawa ay gagantihin.
and you, be strong, and do not let your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.”
8 At nang marinig ni Asa ang mga salitang ito, at ang hula ni Obed na propeta, siya'y lumakas, at inalis ang mga karumaldumal sa buong lupain ng Juda at ng Benjamin, at sa mga bayan na kaniyang sinakop sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim; at kaniyang binago ang dambana ng Panginoon, na nasa harap ng portiko ng Panginoon.
And at Asa’s hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he has strengthened himself, and causes the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he has captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and renews the altar of YHWH that [is] before the porch of YHWH,
9 At kaniyang pinisan ang buong Juda at Benjamin, at silang mga nakikipamayan na kasama nila mula sa Ephraim at Manases, at mula sa Simeon; sapagka't sila'y nagsihilig sa kaniya na mula sa Israel na sagana, nang kanilang makita na ang Panginoon niyang Dios ay sumasa kaniya.
and gathers all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon—for they have defected to him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that his God YHWH [is] with him.
10 Sa gayo'y nangagpipisan sila sa Jerusalem sa ikatlong buwan, sa ikalabing limang taon ng paghahari ni Asa.
And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
11 At sila'y nagsipaghain sa Panginoon sa araw na yaon, sa samsam na kanilang dinala, na pitong daang baka at pitong libong tupa.
and sacrifice to YHWH on that day from the spoil they have brought in—seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep,
12 At sila'y pumasok sa tipan upang hanapin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, ng kanilang buong puso, at ng kanilang buong kaluluwa.
and they enter into a covenant to seek YHWH, God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,
13 At sinomang hindi humanap sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, ay papatayin, maging maliit o malaki, maging lalake o babae.
and everyone who does not seek for YHWH, God of Israel, is put to death, from small to great, from man to woman.
14 At sila'y nagsisumpa sa Panginoon ng malakas na tinig, at may mga hiyawan, at may mga pakakak, at may mga patunog.
And they swear to YHWH with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns,
15 At ang buong Juda ay nagalak sa sumpa: sapagka't sila'y nagsisumpa ng kanilang buong puso, at hinanap siya ng buo nilang nasa; at siya'y nasumpungan sa kanila: at binigyan sila ng Panginoon ng kapahingahan sa palibot.
and all Judah rejoices concerning the oath, for they have sworn with all their heart, and they have sought Him with all their goodwill, and He is found by them, and YHWH gives rest to them all around.
16 At si Maacha naman na ina ni Asa na hari, ay inalis niya sa pagkareina, sapagka't siya'y gumawa ng nakasusuklam na larawan na pinaka Asera; at pinutol ni Asa ang kaniyang larawan, at ginawang alabok, at sinunog sa batis ng Cedron.
And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king—he has removed her from [being] mistress, in that she has made for an Asherah a horrible thing, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and beats [it] small, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron:
17 Nguni't ang mga mataas na dako ay hindi inalis sa Israel: gayon ma'y ang puso ni Asa ay sakdal sa lahat ng kaniyang mga kaarawan.
yet the high places have not been removed from Israel; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect all his days.
18 At kaniyang ipinasok sa bahay ng Dios ang mga bagay na itinalaga ng kaniyang ama, at yaon mang kaniyang itinalaga, na pilak, at ginto, at mga sisidlan.
And he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God: silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 At nawalan na ng digma sa ikatatlong pu't limang taon ng paghahari ni Asa.
And war has not been until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
