2 Chronicles 15
1 Ẹ̀mí Ọlọ́run wá sórí Asariah ọmọ Odedi.
And Azarias the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,
2 Ó jáde lọ bá Asa, ó sì wí fún un pé, “Tẹ́tí si mi Asa, àti gbogbo Juda àti Benjamini. Olúwa wà pẹ̀lú rẹ, nígbà tí ìwọ bá wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀. Ti ìwọ bá wá a, ìwọ yóò rí i ní ẹ̀bá ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ ṣùgbọ́n tí ìwọ bá kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀, òun yóò kọ̀ ọ́ sílẹ̀.
and he went out to meet Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin. The Lord [is] with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him out, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Fún ọjọ́ pípẹ́ ni Israẹli ti wà láì sin Ọlọ́run òtítọ́, àti láìní àlùfáà ti ń kọ́ ni, àti láìní òfin.
And Israel [has been] a long time without the true God, and without a priest to expound [the truth], and without the law.
4 Ṣùgbọ́n nínú ìpọ́njú wọn, wọ́n yí padà si Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, wọ́n sì wa kiri. Wọ́n sì ri i ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ wọn.
But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.
5 Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀n-ọn-nì ó léwu kí ènìyàn máa rìn ìrìnàjò kiri, nítorí tí gbogbo àwọn olùgbé ilẹ̀ náà wà nínú làálàá ńlá.
And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands.
6 Orílẹ̀-èdè kan ń run èkejì àti ìlú kan sí òmíràn nítorí Ọlọ́run ń yọ wọ́n lẹ́nu pẹ̀lú oríṣìíríṣìí ìpọ́njú.
And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every [kind of] affliction.
7 Ṣùgbọ́n fun ìwọ, jẹ́ alágbára, kí ó má sì ṣe ṣàárẹ̀. Nítorí tí a ó fi èrè sí iṣẹ́ ẹ̀ rẹ.”
But be ye strong, and let not your hands be weakened: for there is a reward for your work.
8 Nígbà tí Asa gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí àti àsọtẹ́lẹ̀ Asariah ọmọ Odedi wòlíì, ó mú àyà rẹ̀ le. Ó sì mú gbogbo ohun ìríra kúrò ní gbogbo ilẹ̀ Juda àti Benjamini àti kúrò nínú àwọn ìlú tí ó ti fi agbára mú ní orí òkè Efraimu. Ó tún pẹpẹ Olúwa ṣe tí ó wà ní iwájú portiko ti ilé Olúwa.
And when [Asa] heard these words, and the prophesy of Adad the prophet, then he strengthened himself, and cast out the abominations from all the land of Juda and Benjamin, and from the cities which Jeroboam possessed, in mount Ephraim, and he renewed the altar of the Lord, which was before the temple of the Lord.
9 Nígbà náà, ó pe gbogbo Juda àti Benjamini jọ àti àwọn ènìyàn láti Efraimu, Manase àti Simeoni tí ó ti ṣe àtìpó ní àárín wọn. Nítorí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn ti wá sí ọ̀dọ̀ rẹ̀ láti Israẹli nígbà tí wọ́n rí i wí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀ wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
And he assembled Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers that dwelt with him, of Ephraim, and of Manasse, and of Symeon: for many of Israel were joined to him, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 Wọ́n péjọ sí Jerusalẹmu ní oṣù kẹta ọdún kẹ́ẹ̀dógún ti ìjọba Asa.
And they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 Ní àkókò yìí, wọ́n rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin akọ màlúù àti ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbàárin àgùntàn àti àwọn ewúrẹ́ láti ibi ìkógun tí wọ́n ti kó padà.
And he sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils which they brought, seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.
12 Wọ́n sì tún dá májẹ̀mú láti wá Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wọn tinútinú wọn àti tọkàntọkàn wọn.
And he entered into a covenant that they should seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.
13 Pé ẹnikẹ́ni tí kò bá wá Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, pípa ni á ó pa á láti ẹni kékeré dé orí ẹni ńlá àti ọkùnrin àti obìnrin.
And that whoever should not seek the Lord God of Israel, should die, whether young or old, whether man or woman.
14 Wọ́n sì búra ní ohùn rara fún Olúwa àti pẹ̀lú ìhó ńlá àti pẹ̀lú ìpè àti pẹ̀lú fèrè.
And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Gbogbo Juda yọ̀ nípa ìbúra náà nítorí wọ́n ti búra tinútinú wọn wọ́n sì fi gbogbo ìfẹ́ inú wọn wá a, wọ́n sì rí i, Olúwa sì fún wọn ní ìsinmi yí káàkiri.
And all Juda rejoiced concerning the oath: for they swore with all their heart, and they sought him with all their desires; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.
16 Ọba Asa sì mú Maaka ìyá ńlá rẹ̀ kúrò láti máa ṣe ayaba, nítorí tí ó yá ère kan fún Aṣerah òrìṣà rẹ̀. Asa sì ké ère náà lulẹ̀, ó sì jó o ní àfonífojì Kidironi.
And he removed Maacha his mother from being priestess to Astarte; and he cut down the idol, and burnt it in the brook of Kedron.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n a kò mú àwọn ibi gíga náà kúrò ní Israẹli; síbẹ̀síbẹ̀ ọkàn Asa wà ní pípé ní ọjọ́ rẹ̀ gbogbo.
Nevertheless they removed not the high places: they still existed in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 Ó sì mú àwọn ohun mímọ́ náà ti baba rẹ̀ àti àwọn ohun mímọ́ ti òun tìkára rẹ̀ tirẹ̀ wá sínú ilé Ọlọ́run, wúrà àti fàdákà àti àwọn ohun èlò náà.
And he brought in the holy things of David his father, and the holy things of the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Kò sí ogun mọ́ títí fún ọdún márùndínlógójì ti ìjọba Asa.
And there was no war [waged] with him until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
