2 Chronicles 15

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 The spirit of God then came on Azariah son of Oded;	1 και αζαριας υιος ωδηδ εγενετο επ' αυτον πνευμα κυριου
2 he went out to meet Asa and said, 'Listen to me, Asa, and all you in Judah and in Benjamin: Yahwehwil be with you so long as you are with him. If you seek him, he will let you find him; but if you desert him, he wildesert you.	2 και εξηλθεν εις απαντησιν ασα και παντι ιουδα και βενιαμιν και ειπεν ακουσατε μου ασα και πας ιουδα και βενιαμιν κυριος μεθ' υμων εν τω ειναι υμας μετ' αυτου και εαν εκζητησητε αυτον ευρεθησεται υμιν και εαν εγκαταλιπητε αυτον εγκαταλειψει υμας
3 For a long time Israel did not have the true God or a teacher-priest or a law,	3 και ημεραι πολλαι τω ισραηλ εν ου θεω αληθινω και ουχ ιερεως υποδεικνυοντος και εν ου νομω
4 but when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, God of Israel, and sought him, he let them find him.	4 και επιστρεψει επι κυριον θεον ισραηλ και ευρεθησεται αυτοις
5 In those times there was no security for people as they went about their business, but great unrestaffecting the inhabitants of all countries,	5 και εν εκεινω τω καιρω ουκ εστιν ειρηνη τω εκπορευομενω και τω εισπορευομενω οτι εκστασις κυριου επι παντας τους κατοικουντας τας χωρας
6 nation being crushed by nation and city by city, since God caused confusion among them by everykind of distress.	6 και πολεμησει εθνος προς εθνος και πολις προς πολιν οτι ο θεος εξεστησεν αυτους εν παση θλιψει
7 So be strong, do not be discouraged, for your deeds wil be rewarded.'	7 και υμεις ισχυσατε και μη εκλυεσθωσαν αι χειρες υμων οτι εστιν μισθος τη εργασια υμων
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy, he took courage and removed the abominable idolsthroughout the land of Judah and Benjamin as wel as from the towns which he had captured in the highlands ofEphraim, and repaired the altar of Yahweh which stood in front of the portico of Yahweh.	8 και εν τω ακουσαι τους λογους τουτους και την προφητειαν αδαδ του προφητου και κατισχυσεν και εξεβαλεν τα βδελυγματα απο πασης της γης ιουδα και βενιαμιν και απο των πολεων ων κατεσχεν εν ορει εφραιμ και ενεκαινισεν το θυσιαστηριον κυριου ο ην εμπροσθεν του ναου κυριου
9 He summoned al Judah and Benjamin as wel as those Ephraimites, Manassehites and Simeoniteswho had settled with them -- for a great many people from Israel had gone over to Asa when they saw thatYahweh his God was with him.	9 και εξεκκλησιασεν τον ιουδαν και βενιαμιν και τους προσηλυτους τους παροικουντας μετ' αυτου απο εφραιμ και απο μανασση και απο συμεων οτι προσετεθησαν προς αυτον πολλοι του ισραηλ εν τω ιδειν αυτους οτι κυριος ο θεος αυτου μετ' αυτου
10 They assembled in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa's reign,	10 και συνηχθησαν εις ιερουσαλημ εν τω μηνι τω τριτω εν τω πεντεκαιδεκατω ετει της βασιλειας ασα
11 that day sacrificing to Yahweh seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from the booty whichthey had brought back.	11 και εθυσεν τω κυριω εν εκεινη τη ημερα απο των σκυλων ων ηνεγκαν μοσχους επτακοσιους και προβατα επτακισχιλια
12 They then made a covenant to seek Yahweh, God of their ancestors, with al their heart and soul;	12 και διηλθεν εν διαθηκη ζητησαι κυριον θεον των πατερων αυτων εξ ολης της καρδιας και εξ ολης της ψυχης
13 anyone who would not seek Yahweh, God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether high or low, manor woman.	13 και πας ος εαν μη εκζητηση κυριον θεον ισραηλ αποθανειται απο νεωτερου εως πρεσβυτερου απο ανδρος εως γυναικος
14 They pledged their oath to Yahweh in ringing tones, with shouts of joy, to the sound of trumpet andhorn;	14 και ωμοσαν εν τω κυριω εν φωνη μεγαλη και εν σαλπιγξιν και εν κερατιναις
15 al Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it wholeheartedly, and sought him so earnestlythat he al owed them to find him; Yahweh gave them peace all round.	15 και ηυφρανθησαν πας ιουδα περι του ορκου οτι εξ ολης της ψυχης ωμοσαν και εν παση θελησει εζητησαν αυτον και ευρεθη αυτοις και κατεπαυσεν αυτοις κυριος κυκλοθεν
16 King Asa even deprived his mother Maacah of the dignity of Great Lady for having made anobscenity for Asherah; Asa cut down her obscenity, smashed it and burnt it in the ravine of the Kidron.	16 και την μααχα την μητερα αυτου μετεστησεν του μη ειναι τη ασταρτη λειτουργουσαν και κατεκοψεν το ειδωλον και κατεκαυσεν εν χειμαρρω κεδρων
17 Though the high places were not abolished in Israel, Asa's heart was loyal throughout his life.	17 πλην τα υψηλα ουκ απεστησαν ετι υπηρχεν εν τω ισραηλ αλλ' η καρδια ασα εγενετο πληρης πασας τας ημερας αυτου
18 He deposited his father's and his own dedicated gifts of silver, gold and sacred vessels, in theTemple of Yahweh.	18 και εισηνεγκεν τα αγια δαυιδ του πατρος αυτου και τα αγια οικου κυριου του θεου αργυριον και χρυσιον και σκευη
19 Up to the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign there was no war.	19 και πολεμος ουκ ην μετ' αυτου εως του πεμπτου και τριακοστου ετους της βασιλειας ασα
