2 Chronicles 15 — Rahlfs Septuagint

Αζαριας υἱὸς Ωδηδ ἐγένετο ἐπ᾿ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα κυρίου

And the spirit of the Lord came upon Azariah the son of Oded.

And he went out to meet Asa and all Judah and Benjamin and said, Hear me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you when you are with him, and if you seek him, he will be found by you, and if you forsake him, he will forsake you.

3

ἡμέραι πολλαὶ τῷ Ισραηλ ἐν οὐ θεῷ ἀληθινῷ καὶ οὐχ ἱερέως ὑποδεικνύοντος καὶ ἐν οὐ νόμῳ

And many days were to Israel without a true God and without a priest giving instruction and without law

4

ἐπιστρέψει ἐπὶ κύριον θεὸν Ισραηλ καὶ εὑρεθήσεται αὐτοῖς

and he will turn back to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found by them

5

And in that time there is no peace for the one going out and for the one coming in, because a terror from the Lord is upon all the inhabitants of the lands.

6

πολεμήσει ἔθνος πρὸς ἔθνος καὶ πόλις πρὸς πόλιν ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει

And nation will fight against nation and city against city, because God has thrown them into every affliction.

7

ὑμεῖς ἰσχύσατε καὶ μὴ ἐκλυέσθωσαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν ὅτι ἔστιν μισθὸς τῇ ἐργασίᾳ ὑμῶν

And you, be strong, and let not your hands be weakened, for there is a reward for your labor.

8

And when he heard these words and the prophecy of Adad the prophet, he took courage and cast out the abominations from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim, and he renewed the altar of the Lord which was before the temple of the Lord.

9

And he assembled Judah and Benjamin and the proselytes who were residing with him from Ephraim and from Manasseh and from Simeon, because many from Israel had been added to him when they saw that the Lord his God was with him

10

συνήχθησαν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τρίτῳ ἐν τῷ πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ασα

And they were gathered in Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

11

ἔθυσεν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων ὧν ἤνεγκαν μόσχους ἑπτακοσίους καὶ πρόβατα ἑπτακισχίλια

And they sacrificed to the Lord on that day from the spoils which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

12

διῆλθεν ἐν διαθήκῃ ζητῆσαι κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς

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

13

πᾶς ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἐκζητήσῃ κύριον θεὸν Ισραηλ ἀποθανεῖται ἀπὸ νεωτέρου ἕως πρεσβυτέρου ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός

And everyone who shall not seek the Lord God of Israel shall die, from youth to elder, from man to woman

14

ὤμοσαν ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἐν κερατίναις

And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice and with trumpets and with horns

15

And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, because with all their soul they swore and with all their will they sought him, and he was found by them, and the Lord gave them rest round about.

16

And Maacah his mother he removed from being a servant to Astarte, and he cut down the idol and burned it in the Kidron brook.

17

τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν ἔτι ὑπῆρχεν ἐν τῷ Ισραηλ ἀλλ᾿ ἢ καρδία Ασα ἐγένετο πλήρης πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ

Nevertheless the high places did not depart; still there existed in Israel, but Asa’s heart became full all his days.

18

εἰσήνεγκεν τὰ ἅγια Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἅγια οἴκου κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σκεύη

And he brought in the holy things of David his father and the holy things of the house of the Lord God, silver and gold and vessels.

19

πόλεμος οὐκ ἦν μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ πέμπτου καὶ τριακοστοῦ ἔτους τῆς βασιλείας Ασα

And there was no war with him until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa
