Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,
1Καὶ Ἀζαρίας υἱὸς Ὡδὴδ, ἐγένετο ἐπʼ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου.
2And 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.
2Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν Ἀσὰ καὶ παντὶ Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀκούσατέ μου Ἀσὰ, καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμίν· Κύριος μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ εἶναι ὑμᾶς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐὰν ἐκζητήσητε αὐτὸν εὑρεθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐγκαταλείπητε αὐτὸν, ἐγκαταλείψει ὑμᾶς.
3And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law.
3Καὶ ἡμέραι πολλαὶ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν οὐ Θεῷ ἀληθινῷ, καὶ οὐχ ἱερέως ὑποδεικνῦντος, καὶ ἐν οὐ νόμῳ.
4And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him.
4Καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εὑρεθήσεται αὐτοῖς.
5At 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.
5Καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη τῷ ἐκπορευομένῳ καὶ τῷ εἰσπορευομένῳ, ὅτι ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὰς χώρας.
6For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.
6Καὶ πολεμήσει ἔθνος πρὸς ἔθνος καὶ πόλις πρὸς πόλιν, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει.
7Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall be a reward for your work.
7Καὶ ὑμεῖς ἰσχύσατε, καὶ μὴ ἐκλυέσθωσαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἔστι μισθὸς τῇ ἐργασίᾳ ὑμῶν.
8And 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.
8Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν προφητείαν Ἀδὰδ τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ κατίσχυσε καὶ ἐξέβαλε τὰ βδελύγματα ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων ὧν κατέσχεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ἐνεκαίνισε τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου, ὃ ἦν ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ναοῦ Κυρίου.
9And 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.
9Καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασε τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ τοὺς προσηλύτους τοὺς παροικοῦντας μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἀπὸ Συμεὼν, ὅτι προσετέθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν πολλοὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτοὺς, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
10And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
10Καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τρίτῳ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ἀσά.
11They 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.
11Καὶ ἔθυσε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων ὧν ἤνεγκαν, μόσχους ἑπτακοσίους καὶ πρόβατα ἑπτακισχίλια.
12And 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.
12Καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν διαθήκῃ ζητῆσαι Κύριον Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτῶν.
13And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman.
13Καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἐκζητήσῃ τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἀποθανεῖται ἀπὸ νεωτέρου ἕως πρεσβυτέρου, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός.
14And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets,
14Καὶ ὤμοσαν ἐν Κυρίῳ ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξι καὶ ἐν κερατίναις.
15All 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.
15Καὶ εὐφράνθησαν πᾶς Ἰούδα περὶ τοῦ ὅρκου, ὅτι ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς ὤμοσαν, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ θελήσει ἐζήτησαν αὐτὸν· καὶ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς, καὶ κατέπαυσε Κύριος αὐτοῖς κυκλόθεν.
16Moreover 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.
16Καὶ τὴν Μααχὰ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ μετέστησε τοῦ μὴ εἶναι τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ λειτουργοῦσαν, καὶ κατέκοψε τὸ εἴδωλον, καὶ κατέκαυσεν ἐν χειμάῤῥῳ Κέδρων.
17But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
17Πλὴν τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν, ἔτι ὑπῆρχεν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ· ἀλλʼ ἡ καρδία Ἀσὰ ἐγένετο πλήρης πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ.
18And 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.
18Καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τὰ ἅγια Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ἅγια οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σκεύη.
19And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.
19Καὶ πόλεμος οὖκ ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ πέμπτου καὶ τριακοστοῦ ἔτους τῆς βασιλείας Ἀσά.
