II Chronicles 15

And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

At ang espiritu ng Dios ay suma kay Azarias na anak ni Obed:

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.

At siya'y lumabas na sinalubong si Asa, at sinabi niya sa kaniya, Dinggin ninyo ako, Asa, at buong Juda at Benjamin: ang Panginoon ay sumasa inyo samantalang kayo'y sumasa kaniya: at kung inyong hanapin siya, siya'y masusumpungan ninyo; nguni't kung pabayaan ninyo siya, kaniyang pababayaan kayo.

Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

Ngayon nga ang Israel ay malaon nang walang Dios na tunay at walang tagapagturong saserdote, at walang kautusan:

But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.

Nguni't nang sa kanilang kapanglawan ay nagsipagbalik sila sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, at hinanap nila siya, siya'y nasumpungan nila.

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.

At nang mga panahong yaon ay walang kapayapaan sa kaniya na lumabas, o sa kaniya na pumasok, kundi malaking ligalig ang nangasa lahat ng mga nananahan sa mga lupain.

And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.

At sila'y nagkapangkatpangkat, bansa laban sa bansa, at bayan laban sa bayan: sapagka't niligalig sila ng Dios ng buong kapighatian.

Be ye strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.

Nguni't mangagpakalakas kayo, at huwag manglata ang inyong mga kamay; sapagka't ang inyong mga gawa ay gagantihin.

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.

At nang marinig ni Asa ang mga salitang ito, at ang hula ni Obed na propeta, siya'y lumakas, at inalis ang mga karumaldumal sa buong lupain ng Juda at ng Benjamin, at sa mga bayan na kaniyang sinakop sa lupaing maburol ng Ephraim; at kaniyang binago ang dambana ng Panginoon, na nasa harap ng portiko ng Panginoon.

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.

At kaniyang pinisan ang buong Juda at Benjamin, at silang mga nakikipamayan na kasama nila mula sa Ephraim at Manases, at mula sa Simeon; sapagka't sila'y nagsihilig sa kaniya na mula sa Israel na sagana, nang kanilang makita na ang Panginoon niyang Dios ay sumasa kaniya.

So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

Sa gayo'y nangagpipisan sila sa Jerusalem sa ikatlong buwan, sa ikalabing limang taon ng paghahari ni Asa.

And they offered unto the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

At sila'y nagsipaghain sa Panginoon sa araw na yaon, sa samsam na kanilang dinala, na pitong daang baka at pitong libong tupa.

And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;

At sila'y pumasok sa tipan upang hanapin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ng kanilang mga magulang, ng kanilang buong puso, at ng kanilang buong kaluluwa.

That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

At sinomang hindi humanap sa Panginoon, sa Dios ng Israel, ay papatayin, maging maliit o malaki, maging lalake o babae.

And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

At sila'y nagsisumpa sa Panginoon ng malakas na tinig, at may mga hiyawan, at may mga pakakak, at may mga patunog.

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.

At ang buong Juda ay nagalak sa sumpa: sapagka't sila'y nagsisumpa ng kanilang buong puso, at hinanap siya ng buo nilang nasa; at siya'y nasumpungan sa kanila: at binigyan sila ng Panginoon ng kapahingahan sa palibot.

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.

At si Maacha naman na ina ni Asa na hari, ay inalis niya sa pagkareina, sapagka't siya'y gumawa ng nakasusuklam na larawan na pinaka Asera; at pinutol ni Asa ang kaniyang larawan, at ginawang alabok, at sinunog sa batis ng Cedron.

But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

Nguni't ang mga mataas na dako ay hindi inalis sa Israel: gayon ma'y ang puso ni Asa ay sakdal sa lahat ng kaniyang mga kaarawan.

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.

At kaniyang ipinasok sa bahay ng Dios ang mga bagay na itinalaga ng kaniyang ama, at yaon mang kaniyang itinalaga, na pilak, at ginto, at mga sisidlan.

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

At nawalan na ng digma sa ikatatlong pu't limang taon ng paghahari ni Asa.
