Parallel
2 Chronicles 15
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
Καὶ Ἀζαρίας υἱὸς 0δῆδ, ἐγένετο ἐπʼ αὐτὸν πνεῖῖμα Κυρίου.
Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.
καὶ εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐτῶν ἐν παντὶ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ Βενιαμείν, καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ εἶναι ἡμᾶς μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐὰν ἐκζητήσητε αὐτόν, εὑρεθήσεται ὑμῖν· καὶ ἐὰν καπαλίπητε αὐτόν, ἐνκαταλείψει ὑμᾶς.
So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
καὶ ἡμέραι πολλαὶ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν οὐ θεῷ ἀληθινῷ καὶ οὐ νόμῳ.
For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a priest to instruct them, and without the law.
καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ Κύριον θεὸν Ἰσραήλ, καὶ εὑρεθήσεται αὐτοῖς.
But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them.
καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη τῷ εἰσπορευομένῳ καὶ τῷ ἐκπορευομένῳ, ὅτι ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας χώρας.
In those days there was no safety for travelers, because the residents of the lands had many conflicts.
καὶ πολεμήσει ἔθνος πρὸς ἔθνος καὶ πόλις πρὸς πόλιν, ὅτι ὁ θεὸς ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει.
Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God afflicted them with all kinds of adversity.
καὶ ὑμεῖς ἰσχύσατε καὶ μὴ ἐκλυέσθωσαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν, ὅτι μισθὸς τῇ ἐργασίᾳ ὑμῶν.
But as for you, be strong; do not be discouraged, for your work will be rewarded.”
καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν προφητείαν Ἀδὰδ τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ κατίσχυσεν καὶ ἐξέβαλεν τὰ βδελύγματα ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμεὶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων ἴὧν κατέσχεν ἐν ὄρει Ἐφράιμ, καὶ ἀνεκαίνισεν τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου ὁ ἦν ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ναοῦ Κυρίου.
When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple.
καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασεν τὸν ούδαν καὶ Βενιαμεὶν καὶ τοὺς προσηλύτους τοὺς παροικοῦντας μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἐφράιμ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσὴ καὶ ἀπὸ Συμεών, ὅτι προσετέθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν πολλοὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτοὺς ὅτι Κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.
And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τρίτῳ ἐν τῷ πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τῆς βασιλείας Ἀκά.
So they gathered together in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
καὶ ἔθυσεν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἱἱὧν ἤνεγκεν. μόσχους ἑπτακοσίους καὶ πρόβατα ἑπτακισχίλια.
At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back.
καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν διαθήκῃ ζητῆσαι Κύριον θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς.
Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.
καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἐκζητήσῃ Κύριον θεὸν Ἰσραήλ, ἀποθανειται ἀπὸ νεωτέρου ἕως πρεσβυτέρου, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός.
And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
καὶ ὤμοσαν ἐν Κυρίῳ ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξιν.
They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns.
καὶ ηὐφράνθησαν πᾶς Ἰουδὰ περὶ τοῦ ὅρκου, ὅτι ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς ὤμοσαν, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ θελήσει ἐζήτησαν αὐτόν, καὶ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς, καὶ κατέπαυσεν αὐτοῖς Κύριος κυκλόθεν,
And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart. They had sought Him earnestly, and He was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.
καὶ τὴν Μααχὰ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ μετέστησεν τοῦ μὴ εἶναι τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ λειτουργοῦσαν, καὶ κατέκοψεν τὸ εἴδωλον καὶ κατέκαυσεν ἐν χειμάρρᾳφ Κεδρών.
King Asa also removed his grandmother (note: Hebrew his mother) Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
πλὴν τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν, ἔτι ὑπῆρχεν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ· ἀλλ ἡ καρδία Ἀσὰ ἐγένετο πλήρης πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ.
The high places were not removed from Israel, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted all his days.
καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τὰ ἅγια Δαυεὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ἅγια οἴκου Κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σκεύη.
And he brought into the house of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.
καὶ πόλεμος οὐκ ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ πέμπτου καὶ τριακοστοῦ ἔτους τῆς βασιλείας Ἀσά.
And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
