1Azarias autem filius Oded, facto in se spiritu Dei,
1And the spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded;
2egressus est in occursum Asa, et dixit ei: Audite me, Asa, et omnis Juda et Benjamin: Dominus vobiscum, quia fuistis cum eo. Si quæsieritis eum, invenietis: si autem dereliqueritis eum, derelinquet vos.
2and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him: 'Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you, while ye are with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.
3Transibant autem multi dies in Israël absque Deo vero, et absque sacerdote doctore, et absque lege.
3Now for long seasons Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;
4Cumque reversi fuerint in angustia sua ad Dominum Deum Israël, et quæsierint eum, reperient eum.
4but when in their distress they turned unto the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found of them.
5In tempore illo, non erit pax egredienti et ingredienti, sed terrores undique in cunctis habitatoribus terrarum:
5And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great discomfitures were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.
6pugnavit enim gens contra gentem, et civitas contra civitatem, quia Dominus conturbabit eos in omni angustia.
6And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did discomfit them with all manner of adversity.
7Vos ergo confortamini, et non dissolvantur manus vestræ: erit enim merces operi vestro.
7But be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded.'
8Quod cum audisset Asa, verba scilicet, et prophetiam Azariæ filii Oded prophetæ, confortatus est, et abstulit idola de omni terra Juda et de Benjamin, et ex urbibus quas ceperat, montis Ephraim: et dedicavit altare Domini quod erat ante porticum Domini.
8And when Asa heard these words, even the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the detestable things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
9Congregavitque universum Judam et Benjamin, et advenas cum eis de Ephraim, et de Manasse, et de Simeon: plures enim ad eum confugerant ex Israël, videntes quod Dominus Deus illius esset cum eo.
9And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned 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.
10Cumque venissent in Jerusalem mense tertio, anno decimoquinto regni Asa,
10So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
11immolaverunt Domino in die illa de manubiis et præda quam adduxerant, boves septingentos, et arietes septem millia.
11And they sacrificed unto the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12Et intravit ex more ad corroborandum fœdus ut quærerent Dominum Deum patrum suorum in toto corde, et in tota anima sua.
12And they entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13Si quis autem, inquit, non quæsierit Dominum Deum Israël, moriatur, a minimo usque ad maximum, a viro usque ad mulierem.
13and that whosoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14Juraveruntque Domino voce magna in jubilo, et in clangore tubæ, et in sonitu buccinarum,
14And they swore unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns.
15omnes qui erant in Juda, cum execratione: in omni enim corde suo juraverunt, et in tota voluntate quæsierunt eum, et invenerunt: præstititque eis Dominus requiem per circuitum.
15And 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.
16Sed et Maacham matrem Asa regis ex augusto deposuit imperio, eo quod fecisset in luco simulacrum Priapi: quod omne contrivit, et in frustra comminuens combussit in torrente Cedron.
16And also Maacah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
17Excelsa autem derelicta sunt in Israël: attamen cor Asa erat perfectum cunctis diebus ejus,
17But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was whole all his days.
18eaque quæ voverat pater suus, et ipse, intulit in domum Domini, argentum, et aurum, vasorumque diversam supellectilem.
18And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had hallowed, and that he himself had hallowed, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19Bellum vero non fuit usque ad trigesimum quintum annum regni Asa.
19And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
