- 1
The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded.
- 2
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; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
- 3
Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law.
- 4
But when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
- 5
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.
- 6
They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
- 7
But you be strong! Don’t let your hands be slack, for your work will be rewarded.”
- 8
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 LORD’s altar that was before the LORD’s porch.
- 9
He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon; for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
- 10
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
- 11
They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, of the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
- 12
They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
- 13
and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
- 14
They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.
- 15
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 by them. Then the LORD gave them rest all around.
- 16
Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; so Asa cut down her image, ground it into dust, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
- 17
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
- 18
He brought the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated, silver, gold, and vessels into God’s house.
- 19
There was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
- 1
O Espírito de Deus veio sobre Azariah, o filho de Oded.
- 2
Ele saiu ao encontro de Asa, e lhe disse: “Ouça-me, Asa, e todo Judá e Benjamim! Javé está com você enquanto você está com ele; e se você o procurar, ele será encontrado por você; mas se você o abandonar, ele o abandonará.
- 3
Agora por muito tempo Israel esteve sem o verdadeiro Deus, sem um padre educador e sem lei.
- 4
Mas quando na angústia deles se voltaram para Javé, o Deus de Israel, e o procuraram, ele foi encontrado por eles.
- 5
Naqueles tempos não havia paz para aquele que saía, nem para aquele que entrava; mas grandes problemas estavam em todos os habitantes das terras.
- 6
Eles estavam em pedaços, nação contra nação, e cidade contra cidade; pois Deus os perturbava com toda adversidade.
- 7
Mas seja forte! Não deixeis que vossas mãos sejam frouxas, pois vosso trabalho será recompensado”.
- 8
Quando Asa ouviu estas palavras e a profecia de Oded, o profeta, tomou coragem e afastou as abominações de toda a terra de Judá e Benjamim, e das cidades que havia tirado da região montanhosa de Efraim; e renovou o altar de Yahweh que estava diante do alpendre de Yahweh.
- 9
Ele reuniu todo Judá e Benjamim, e aqueles que viviam com eles de Efraim, Manassés e Simeão; pois eles vieram a ele de Israel em abundância quando viram que Javé era seu Deus com ele.
- 10
So eles se reuniram em Jerusalém no terceiro mês, no décimo quinto ano do reinado de Asa.
- 11
Sacrificaram-se a Javé naquele dia, do saque que haviam trazido, setecentas cabeças de gado e sete mil ovelhas.
- 12
Entraram no pacto de buscar a Javé, o Deus de seus pais, com todo o coração e com toda a alma;
- 13
e que quem não buscasse a Javé, o Deus de Israel, fosse morto, pequeno ou grande, seja homem ou mulher.
- 14
Eles juraram a Javé com voz alta, com gritos, com trombetas e com cornetas.
- 15
Todo Judá se regozijou com o juramento, pois tinham jurado de todo o coração e o buscaram com todo seu desejo; e ele foi encontrado por eles. Então Yahweh lhes deu descanso a todos.
- 16
Também Maacah, a mãe de Asa, o rei, tirou de ser rainha mãe, porque ela tinha feito uma imagem abominável para uma Asherah; então Asa cortou sua imagem, moeu-a em pó e queimou-a no riacho Kidron.
- 17
Mas os lugares altos não foram tirados de Israel; no entanto, o coração de Asa foi perfeito durante todos os seus dias.
- 18
Ele trouxe as coisas que seu pai havia dedicado e que ele mesmo havia dedicado, prata, ouro e vasos para a casa de Deus.
- 19
Não houve mais guerra ao trigésimo quinto ano do reinado de Asa.
