2 CHRONICLES 15	اخبار الايام الثانية 15
1 Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.	1 وَكَانَ رُوحُ اللَّهِ عَلَى عَزَرْيَا بْنِ عُودِيدَ
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.	2 فَخَرَجَ لِلِقَاءِ آسَا وَقَالَ لَهُ: [اسْمَعُوا لِي يَا آسَا وَجَمِيعَ يَهُوذَا وَبِنْيَامِينَ. الرَّبُّ مَعَكُمْ مَا كُنْتُمْ مَعَهُ وَإِنْ طَلَبْتُمُوهُ يُوجَدْ لَكُمْ وَإِنْ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ يَتْرُكْكُمْ.
3 For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law;	3 وَلإِسْرَائِيلَ أَيَّامٌ كَثِيرَةٌ بِلاَ إِلَهٍ حَقٍّ وَبِلاَ كَاهِنٍ مُعَلِّمٍ وَبِلاَ شَرِيعَةٍ.
4 but when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.	4 وَلَكِنْ لَمَّا رَجَعُوا عِنْدَمَا تَضَايَقُوا إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَطَلَبُوهُ وُجِدَ لَهُمْ.
5 And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands.	5 وَفِي تِلْكَ الأَزْمَانِ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَمَانٌ لِلْخَارِجِ وَلاَ لِلدَّاخِلِ لأَنَّ اضْطِرَابَاتٍ كَثِيرَةً كَانَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ سُكَّانِ الأَرَاضِي.
6 So nation was destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity.	6 فَأُفْنِيَتْ أُمَّةٌ بِأُمَّةٍ وَمَدِينَةٌ بِمَدِينَةٍ لأَنَّ اللَّهَ أَزْعَجَهُمْ بِكُلِّ ضِيقٍ.
7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!"	7 فَتَشَدَّدُوا أَنْتُمْ وَلاَ تَرْتَخِ أَيْدِيكُمْ لأَنَّ لِعَمَلِكُمْ أَجْراً].
8 And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the Lord that was before the vestibule of the Lord.	8 فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ آسَا هَذَا الْكَلاَمَ وَنُبُوَّةَ عُودِيدَ النَّبِيِّ تَشَدَّدَ وَنَزَعَ الرَّجَاسَاتِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَرْضِ يَهُوذَا وَبِنْيَامِينَ وَمِنَ الْمُدُنِ الَّتِي أَخَذَهَا مِنْ جَبَلِ أَفْرَايِمَ وَجَدَّدَ مَذْبَحَ الرَّبِّ الَّذِي أَمَامَ رِوَاقِ الرَّبِّ.
9 Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.	9 وَجَمَعَ كُلَّ يَهُوذَا وَبِنْيَامِينَ وَالْغُرَبَاءَ مَعَهُمْ مِنْ أَفْرَايِمَ وَمَنَسَّى وَمِنْ شَمْعُونَ لأَنَّهُمْ سَقَطُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِكَثْرَةٍ حِينَ رَأُوا أَنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَهُ مَعَهُ.
10 So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.	10 فَاجْتَمَعُوا فِي أُورُشَلِيمَ فِي الشَّهْرِ الثَّالِثِ فِي السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةَ عَشَرَةَ لِمُلْكِ آسَا
11 And they offered to the Lord at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the spoil they had brought.	11 وَذَبَحُوا لِلرَّبِّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مِنَ الْغَنِيمَةِ الَّتِي جَلَبُوا سَبْعَ مِئَةٍ مِنَ الْبَقَرِ وَسَبْعَةَ آلاَفٍ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ.
12 Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;	12 وَدَخَلُوا فِي عَهْدٍ أَنْ يَطْلُبُوا الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ آبَائِهِمْ بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَكُلِّ أَنْفُسِهِمْ.
13 and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.	13 حَتَّى إِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ لاَ يَطْلُبُ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَ إِسْرَائِيلَ يُقْتَلُ مِنَ الصَّغِيرِ إِلَى الْكَبِيرِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ.
14 Then they took an oath before the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting and trumpets and rams' horns.	14 وَحَلَفُوا لِلرَّبِّ بِصَوْتٍ عَظِيمٍ وَهُتَافٍ وَبِأَبْوَاقٍ وَقُرُونٍ.
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the Lord gave them rest all around.	15 وَفَرِحَ كُلُّ يَهُوذَا مِنْ أَجْلِ الْحَلْفِ لأَنَّهُمْ حَلَفُوا بِكُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَطَلَبُوهُ بِكُلِّ رِضَاهُمْ فَوُجِدَ لَهُمْ وَأَرَاحَهُمُ الرَّبُّ مِنْ كُلِّ جِهَةٍ.
16 Also he removed Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned it by the Brook Kidron.	16 حَتَّى إِنَّ مَعْكَةَ أُمَّ آسَا الْمَلِكِ خَلَعَهَا مِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَلِكَةً لأَنَّهَا عَمِلَتْ لِسَارِيَةٍ تِمْثَالاً وَقَطَعَ آسَا تِمْثَالَهَا وَدَقَّهُ وَأَحْرَقَهُ فِي وَادِي قَدْرُونَ.
17 But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days.	17 وَأَمَّا الْمُرْتَفَعَاتُ فَلَمْ تُنْزَعْ مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. إِلاَّ أَنَّ قَلْبَ آسَا كَانَ كَامِلاً كُلَّ أَيَّامِهِ.
18 He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils.	18 وَأَدْخَلَ أَقْدَاسَ أَبِيهِ وَأَقْدَاسَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ وَالذَّهَبِ وَالآنِيَةِ.
19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.	19 وَلَمْ تَكُنْ حَرْبٌ إِلَى السَّنَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ وَالثَّلاَثِينَ لِمُلْكِ آسَا.
