2 Tantara 15
1 Nivotrak’ amy Azarià ana’ i Ovede t’i Arofon’ Añahare;
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:
2 le niavotse mb’eo hifanalaka amy Asa, le hoe re ama’e: Janjiño raho ry Asa naho ry Iehoda miharo Beniamine iaby; indreza’ Iehovà kanao ireketa’ areo; itsoeho le ho isa’areo; f’ie aforintse’ areo le ho farie’e ka.
And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear all of you me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while all of you be with him; and if all of you seek him, he will be found of you; but if all of you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Hatrela t’ie tsy aman’ Añahare to t’Israele naho tsy amam-pisoroñe mpañoke vaho tsy aman-Kàke;
Now for a long season Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 fe amy haembera’ iareo le nitolik’ am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, nipay vaho nahatendreke.
But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
5 Ie tañ’ andro zay tsy nanintsiñe ty niavotse ndra ty nimoake, fa hasotriam-bey ty nampilovilovi’ ze hene mpimone’ o taneo.
And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries.
6 Finofoke iereo, fifeheañe miatre-pifeheañe, rova miatre-rova; amy t’ie nametsahan’ Añahare ze atao hasotriañe.
And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
7 Fe mihaozara, ko apoke higebañe ty fità’ areo, fa ho tambezeñe o fitoloña’areoo.
Be all of you strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
8 Ie nahajanjiñe i tsara zay t’i Asa, i nitokia’ i Azarià ana’ i Ovede, mpitokiy, le nandrobo-batañe naho finao’e an-tane’ Iehodà naho e Beniamine iaby ze raha nampangorìñe, naho amo rova rinambe’e am-bohibohi’ i Efraimeo; vaho hinavao’e i kitreli’ Iehovà, aolo’ i lavaranga’ Iehovàiy.
And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
9 Le natonto’e iaby t’Iehodà naho i Beniamine naho o mpañialo ama’e boak’ Efraime naho e Menasè vaho e Simeoneo; fa maro ty nihintsañe am’ Israele ie nioni’ iereo te nindre ama’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’e.
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
10 Aa le nifanontoñe e Ierosalaime ao amy volam-paha-telo, amy taom-paha-folo-lim’ ambi’ i Asay,
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11 vaho nanao soroñe amy Iehovà amy andro zay, boak’ amy fikopahañe nendesa’ iareoy, añombe fiton-jato naho añondry fito-arivo;
And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12 le nifañina hitsoeke Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo, an-kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova,
And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 le havetrake ze tsy mipay Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele, ke t’ie kedekede he te bey, ke lahilahy hera ampela.
That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 Aa le nifanta am-pazak’ am’ Iehovà iereo naho am-pamatsiañe vaho an-trompetra naho antsiva.
And they swore unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Nandia taroba iaby t’Iehoda ty amy fantay, amy te nititiheñe an-kaampon’ arofo naho nitsotsehe’ iereo vaho nitendreke. Aa le nitsitsihe’ Iehovà fañanintsiñe.
And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
16 Nafaha’e tsy ho renem-panjaka ka t’i Maakà rene’ i Asa mpanjaka amy t’ie nandranjy sare tiva i Aserà; le finira’ i Asa i sare’e nampangorìñey naho dinemo’e ho deboke vaho noroa’e an-toraha’ i Kidrone ao.
And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
17 Toe tsy nafahañe am’ Israele o toets’ aboo; fe ni-ary ty arofo’ i Asa amo hene andro’eo.
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 Le nindese’e añ’ anjomban’ Añahare ao o raha navìn-droae’e naho o raha navì’eo, volafoty naho volamena naho fanake.
And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19 Vaho tsy aman’ aly i taney pak’ an-taom-pifehea’ i Asa faha-telopolo-lim’ amby.
And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
