Otra Laiku 15

1 Tad Dieva Gars nāca uz Azariju, Odeda dēlu.

And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,

2 Un tas izgāja Asam pretī un uz to sacīja: klausiet mani, Asa un viss Jūda un Benjamin. Tas Kungs ir ar jums, kamēr jūs esat ar Viņu, un ja jūs Viņu meklēsiet, Viņš no jums taps atrasts. Bet ja jūs Viņu atstāsiet, tad Viņš jūs arīdzan atstās.

And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

3 Un daudz dienas būs iekš Israēla bez īsta Dieva, bez priestera, kas māca, un bez bauslības.

And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law.

4 Taču ja tie savās bēdās atgriezīsies pie Tā Kunga, Israēla Dieva, un Viņu meklēs, tad Viņš no tiem taps atrasts.

And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him.

5 Un tanīs laikos labi neklāsies ne tam, kas iziet, ne tam, kas ieiet, bet daudz briesmu būs pār zemes iedzīvotājiem,

At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth.

6 Tā ka tauta celsies pret tautu, pilsēta sadauzīs pilsētu, jo Dievs tos iztrūcinās ar visādām bēdām.

For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.

7 Bet jūs esat droši, un jūsu rokas lai nenogurst, jo jūsu darbam būs sava alga.

Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall be a reward for your work.

8 Kad nu Asa dzirdēja šos vārdus un pravieša Odeda(dēla) sludināšanu, tad viņš ņēmās drošu prātu un izdeldēja tās negantības no visas Jūda un Benjamina zemes un no tām pilsētām, ko bija uzņēmis Efraīma kalnos, un atjaunoja Tā Kunga altāri, kas priekš Tā Kunga priekšnama stāvēja.

And when Asa had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch of the Lord.

9 Un viņš sapulcināja visu Jūdu un Benjaminu un tos, kas pie viņiem piemita, no Efraīma un Manasus un no Sīmeana; jo no Israēla tam daudzi pieķērās, kad tie redzēja, ka Tas Kungs, viņa Dievs bija ar viņu.

And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.

10 Un tie sapulcējās Jeruzālemē trešā mēnesī, Asas valdīšanas piecpadsmitā gadā,

And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,

11 Un upurēja Tam Kungam tai dienā no tā laupījuma, ko tie bija atveduši, septiņsimt vēršus un septiņtūkstoš avis.

They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams.

12 Un tie atjaunoja to derību, meklēt To Kungu, savu tēvu Dievu no visas savas sirds un no visas savas dvēseles;

And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul.

13 Bet visus, kas nemeklē To Kungu, Israēla Dievu, nokaut, tā mazus kā lielus, tā vīrus kā sievas.

And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman.

14 Un tie Tam Kungam zvērēja ar stipru balsi un gavilēšanu, arī ar trumetēm un bazūnēm.

And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets,

15 Un viss Jūda priecājās par šo zvērestu, jo tie no visas sirds bija zvērējuši un meklēja Viņu ar visu prātu, un Viņš no tiem likās atrasties, un Tas Kungs tiem deva mieru visapkārt.

All that mere in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about.

16 Viņš arī nocēla Maēku, ķēniņa Asas vecmāti, no ķēniņienes goda, tāpēc ka tā bija taisījusi negantu elka bildi Ašerai, un Asa izdeldēja arī viņas elka bildi un to sadauzīja un sadedzināja pie Kidronas upes.

Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron.

17 Bet kalnu altāri netapa izdeldēti iekš Israēla, tikai Asas sirds bija skaidra visu viņa mūžu.

But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

18 Un viņš ienesa Dieva namā visas sava tēva svētītās dāvanas, un ko viņš pats bija svētījis, sudrabu un zeltu un traukus.

And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses.

19 Un kara nebija līdz trīsdesmit piektam Asas valdīšanas gadam.

And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.
