2 Chronicles 15
1 The Spirit of God came upon Azariah, the son of Obed.
Gode Ea A: silibu da A: salaia (Oudede egefe) ema aligila sa: i. Amola e da hina bagade A: isa ba: musa: asi. E da amane wele sia: i. “Hina bagade A: isa! Amola Yuda fi amola Bediamini fi dunu huluane! Na sia: nabima! Dilia da Hina Godema noga: le fa: no bobogesea, E da dilima gamu. Dilia E hogosea, E ba: mu. Be dilia E baligi fa: sea, E da dili fisidigimu.
2 Azariah went to talk with Asa, and said to him, “Asa and all [you men of the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin, listen to me. Yahweh is with you whenever you are trusting in him. If you request him [to help you], he will help you, but if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
3 For many years the Israeli people did not know the true God, and they did not have priests or God’s laws.
Eso bagohame, Isala: ili fi da Godedafa hamedene, gobele salasu olelesu dunu hamedene, amola sema hamedenewane esalu.
4 But when they experienced trouble, they turned to Yahweh our God, and requested him to help them. And he helped them.
Be se nabasu da ilima doaga: loba, ilia da Isala: ili Hina Godema bu sinidigi. Ilia da E hogolalu, ba: i dagoi.
5 At that time, people were not safe when they traveled, because all the people who lived in the nearby countries were experiencing many difficulties.
Amo esoga, dunu da hahawane halegale lalumu hamedei ba: i. Bai bidi hamosu amola wili gala: su, amo soge huluane ganodini ba: i.
6 The people of various nations were thoroughly defeated by [armies of] other nations, and people in some cities were crushed by [armies from] other cities, because God was allowing them to experience many difficulties.
Fi afae da fi eno amo banenesi. Moilai bai bagade da eno moilai bai bagade amo banenesi. Bai Gode da amo se nabasu ilima i dagoi.
7 But you people, you must be strong and do not become discouraged, because [God] will reward you for what you do [to please him.”]
Be dilia da gasa fili, mae da: i dioma. Dilia hawa: hamobeba: le, bidi noga: i lamu.”
8 When Asa heard what the prophet Azariah said, he was encouraged. He [commanded his workers to] remove all the detestable idols from everywhere in the land of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, and from the towns that [his soldiers] had captured in the hills of the tribe of Ephraim. Asa’s workers repaired the altar [where people offered sacrifices] to Yahweh that was in front of the entrance to the temple [in Jerusalem].
A: isa da A: salaia (Oudede egefe) amo ea ba: la: lusu sia: nababeba: le, ea dogo denesi. E da ogogosu ‘gode’ loboga hamoi liligi huluane Yuda soge, Bediamini soge amola moilai bai bagade huluane e da Ifala: ime sogega susugui, amo ganodini dialu amo mugululi fasi. Amola e da Hina Gode oloda amo da Debolo Diasu gagoi ganodini dialu, amo bu dodoa: i.
9 Then he gathered all [the people of the tribes of] Judah and Benjamin and many people from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were living among them. [He was able to do that] because many people from [those tribes in] Israel had come to me to Judah when they realized that Yahweh, the God that Asa [worshiped], was helping him.
Ifala: ime, Ma: na: se amola Simione fi dunu bagohame da Isala: ili fisili, A:isama gai. Bai ilia Hina Gode da A: isama gai ba: i. A: isa da ili huluane, amola Yuda amola Bediamini fi dunu ema misa: ne sia: i.
10 After Asa had been ruling for almost 15 years, in May of that year, those people gathered in Jerusalem.
Ili huluane da oubi osoda amola ode 15 A: isa ea ouligibi galu, Yelusalemega gilisi.
11 At that time they sacrificed to Yahweh 700 bulls and 7,000 sheep and goats, from the animals that they had captured [when they defeated the army of Ethiopia/Sudan].
Amo esoga, ilia da ilia susugui liligi mogili, Hina Godema gobele salasu hamoi. Ilia da bulamagau 700 agoane amola sibi 7,000 agoane gobele sali.
12 They solemnly made an agreement to very sincerely worship Yahweh, the God whom their ancestors [worshiped].
Ilia aowalalia Hina Godema ilia asigi dawa: su huluane, amola ilia a: silibu huluane, amoga Ema nodone sia: ne gadolaloma: ne, ilegele sia: i dagoi.
13 They promised to execute all those who would not worship Yahweh, including those who were important and those who were not important, both men and women.
Nowa da ayeligi o da: i hamoi, dunu o uda, amo da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadomu hihisia, ilia da amo medole legema: ne sia: i.
14 They shouted and blew trumpets and other horns while they solemnly promised to do that.
Ilia da Hina Gode Ea Dioba: le, amo ilegele sia: su noga: le ouligima: ne wele sia: i. Amalalu, ilia ha: giwane wele sisia: sa, dalabede fulabosu.
15 All the people who were living in Judah were happy with the agreement because they had solemnly and very sincerely promised to keep it. They eagerly requested help from Yahweh, and he helped them. So he enabled them to have peace throughout their country.
Yuda dunu huluane da amo ilegele sia: su (gousa: su) noga: le hamoiba: le, hahawane bagade ba: i. Ilia da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadobeba: le, hahawane bagade ba: i. Hina Gode da ili lale sali, amola Ea hamobeba: le, ili sisiga: le fi da ili hame doagala: i.
16 King Asa’s grandmother Maacah had made a disgusting pole for [worshiping the goddess] Asherah. So Asa [commanded his workers to] cut down that pole and chop it into pieces and burn it in the Kidron Valley. He then did not allow Maacah to continue [to influence the people because of her] being the mother of the previous king.
Hina bagade A: isa da ea aiya: Ma: iaga amo sefasi. Bai e da ogogosu uda ‘gode’ Asila, ema nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne, wadela: idafa ‘gode’ liligi ea loboga hamoi. A: isa da amo loboga hamoi ‘gode’ aba sasalili, Gidalone Fagoga ulagisi.
17 Although Asa’s [workers] did not get rid of the shrines on the hilltops in Israel, he was very determined to [do what] pleased Yahweh all his life.
A: isa da ea esalusu huluane ganodini, Hina Godema madelagili esalebe ba: i. Be ogogosu ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi mogili, e da hame gugunufinisi.
18 He [ordered his workers to] bring into God’s temple all the silver and gold and other valuable items that he and his father had dedicated [to God].
E da noga: i liligi amo ea eda Abaidia da Godema modale ligiagale i, amola gouli amola silifa amo hisu da modale ligiagale i, amo huluane Debolo Diasu ganodini lidili legei.
19 There were no more wars [in Judah] until Asa had been ruling Judah almost 35 years.
Isala: ili fi da olofole esalu, amogainini A: isa ea ouligibi ode 35 da doaga: i.
