2 Chronicles 15

2 Chronicles 15 - Versions
2 Chronicles 15 Text (WEB) The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded: and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them. In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands. They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity. But you be strong, and don't let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded." When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations 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 Yahweh, that was before the porch of Yahweh. He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived 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 Yahweh his God was with him. So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep. They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul; and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 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 Yahweh gave them rest all around. Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed 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. But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. 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. There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
2 Chronicles 15 Text (Hebrew) ועזריהו בן־עודד היתה עליו רוח אלהים׃ ויצא לפני אסא ויאמר לו שמעוני אסא וכל־יהודה ובנימן יהוה עםכם בהיותכם עמו ואם־תדרשהו ימצא לכם ואם־תעזבהו יעזב אתכם׃ ס וימים רבים לישראל ללא אלהי אמת וללא כהן מורה וללא תורה׃ וישב בצר־לו על־יהוה אלהי ישראל ויבקשהו וימצא להם׃ ובעתים ההם אין שלום ליוצא ולבא כי מהומת רבות על כל־יושבי הארצות׃ וכתתו גוי־בגוי ועיר בעיר כי־אלהים הםםם בכל־צרה׃ ואתם חזקו ואל־ירפו ידיכם כי יש שכר לפעלתכם׃ ס וכשמע אסא הדברים האלה והנבואה עדד הנביא התחזק ויעבר השקוצים מכל־ארץ יהודה ובנימן ומן־הערים אשר לכד מהר אפרים ויחדש את־מזבח יהוה אשר לפני אולם יהוה׃ ויקבץ את־כל־יהודה ובנימן והגרים עמהם מאפרים ומנשה ומשמעון כי־נפלו עליו מישראל לרב בראתם כי־יהוה אלהיו עמו׃ ף ויקבצו ירושלם בחדש השלישי לשנת חמש־עשרה למלכות אסא׃ ויזבחו ליהוה ביום ההוא מן־השלל הביאו בקר שבע מאות וצאן שבעת אלפים׃ ויבאו בברית לדרוש את־יהוה אלהי אבותיהם בכל־לבבם ובכל־נפשם׃ וכל אשר לא־ידרש ליהוה אלהי־ישראל יומת למן־קטן ועד־גדול למאיש ועד־אשה׃ וישבעו ליהוה בקול גדול ובתרועה ובחצצרות ובשופרות׃ וישמחו כל־יהודה על־השבועה כי בכל־לבבם נשבעו ובכל־רצונם בקשהו וימצא להם וינח יהוה להם מסביב׃ וגם־מעכה אם אסא המלך הסירה מגבירה אשר־עשתה לאשרה מפלצת ויכרת אסא את־מפלצתה וידק וישרף בנחל קדרון׃ והבמות לא־סרו מישראל רק לבב־אסא היה שלם כל־ימיו׃ ויבא את־קדשי אביו וקדשיו בית האלהים כסף וזהב וכלים׃ ומלחמה לא היתה עד שנת־שלשים וחמש למלכות אסא׃ ס

2 Chronicles 15 Text (Latin) Azarias autem filius Oded, facto in se spiritu Dei, egressus 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. Transibant autem multi dies in Israël absque Deo vero, et absque sacerdote doctore, et absque lege. Cumque reversi fuerint in angustia sua ad Dominum Deum Israël, et quæsierint eum, reperient eum. In tempore illo, non erit pax egredienti et ingredienti, sed terrores undique in cunctis habitatoribus terrarum : pugnavit enim gens contra gentem, et civitas contra civitatem, quia Dominus conturbabit eos in omni angustia. Vos ergo confortamini, et non dissolvantur manus vestræ : erit enim merces operi vestro. Quod 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. Congregavitque 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. Cumque venissent in Jerusalem mense tertio, anno decimoquinto regni Asa, immolaverunt Domino in die illa de manubiis, et præda, quam adduxerant, boves septingentos, et arietes septem millia. Et intravit ex more ad corroborandum fœdus ut quærerent Dominum Deum patrum suorum in toto corde, et in tota anima sua. Si quis autem, inquit, non quæsierit Dominum Deum Israël, moriatur, a minimo usque ad maximum, a viro usque ad mulierem. Juraveruntque Domino voce magna in jubilo, et in clangore tubæ, et in sonitu buccinarum, omnes 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. Sed 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. Excelsa autem derelicta sunt in Israël : attamen cor Asa erat perfectum cunctis diebus ejus, eaque quæ voverat pater suus, et ipse, intulit in domum Domini, argentum, et aurum, vasorumque diversam supellectilem. Bellum vero non fuit usque ad trigesimum quintum annum regni Asa.
2 Chronicles 15 Text (KJV) And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded: And 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 be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you. Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law. But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them. 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. And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity. Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded. 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. 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. So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 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. 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. But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days. 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. And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
