1 M arkaasaa Ruuxii Ilaah wuxuu ku soo degay Casaryaah oo ahaa ina Codeed,

Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded,

2 o o intuu u soo baxay inuu Aasaa ka hor tago ayuu ku yidhi, Aasaa, iyo dadkii Yahuudah iyo Benyaamiin oo dhammow, i maqla. Rabbigu wuu idinla jiraa intaad isaga la jirtaan, oo haddaad isaga doondoontaanna waad heli doontaan, laakiinse haddaad isaga ka tagtaan, isna wuu idinka tegi doonaa.

and 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. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

3 H addaba intii wakhti dheer ah dadka Israa'iil ma ay haysan Ilaaha runta ah, iyo wadaad iyaga wax bara, iyo sharci toona,

For many days Israel was without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law.

4 l aakiinse markay cidhiidhi galeen ayay u soo jeesteen oo doondooneen Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, wayna heleen.

But in their distress they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him.

5 O o waayahaas oo dhanna nabadu uma jirin kii dibadda u baxa iyo kii gudaha soo gala toona, laakiinse dadka dalalka deggan oo dhan waxaa kor saarnaa dhibaatooyin waaweyn.

In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.

6 O o iyagii way kala burbureen, oo quruumuba quruun bay ka gees noqotay, magaalona magaalay ka gees noqotay, waayo, Ilaah baa ku dhibay cidhiidhi oo dhan.

Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress.

7 L aakiinse idinku xoogaysta oo gacmihiinnu yay debcin, waayo, shuqulkiinna waa laydiinka abaalgudi doonaa.

But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work.” Asa’s Reforms

8 O o Aasaana markuu maqlay erayadaas iyo waxsheegiddii Nebi Codeed ayuu sii dhiirranaaday, oo dalka Yahuudah iyo kan Benyaamiin oo dhan iyo magaalooyinkii uu ka qabsaday dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim wuu ka wada fogeeyey karaahiyadii, oo weliba wuxuu cusboonaysiiyey meeshii allabariga ee Rabbiga oo ku hor tiil balbalada Rabbiga.

Now when Asa heard these words and the prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the Lord which was in front of the porch of the Lord.

9 M arkaasuu soo wada shiriyey dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Benyaamiin iyo kuwii iyaga la degganaa oo ka yimid reer Efrayim iyo reer Manaseh iyo reer Simecoonba, waayo, isagay ku soo darmeen iyagoo tiro badan, markay arkeen in Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ahu uu isaga la jiro.

He gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

10 S idaas daraaddeed waxay ku soo urureen Yeruusaalem sannaddii shan iyo tobnaad oo boqortooyadii Aasaa bisheedii saddexaad.

So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.

11 O o maalintaas waxay Rabbiga ugu allabaryeen toddoba boqol oo dibi iyo toddoba kun oo neef oo ido ah oo ka mid ah dhicii ay keeneen.

They sacrificed to the Lord that day 700 oxen and 7, 000 sheep from the spoil they had brought.

12 O o waxay axdi ku galeen inay Rabbiga Ilaaha awowayaashooda ah ku doondoonaan qalbigooda oo dhan iyo naftooda oo dhan,

They entered into the covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and soul;

13 i yo in la dilo ku alla kii aan doondoonin Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, hadduu yar yahay iyo hadduu weyn yahay, ama hadduu nin yahay iyo hadday naag tahayba.

and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

14 O o waxay Rabbiga ugu dhaarteen cod weyn iyo qaylo iyo turumbooyin iyo buunan.

Moreover, they made an oath to the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets and with horns.

15 O o dadkii Yahuudah oo dhammu way ku reyreeyeen dhaartii, maxaa yeelay, qalbigooda oo dhan ayay ku dhaarteen, oo waxay isaga ku doondooneen xiisahooda oo dhan, wayna heleen, oo Rabbiguna hareerahooda oo dhan wuu ka nasiyey.

All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with their whole heart and had sought Him earnestly, and He let them find Him. So the Lord gave them rest on every side.

16 O o weliba Macakaah oo ahayd Boqor Aasaa hooyadiis boqoradnimadii wuu ka dejiyey, maxaa yeelay, waxay sanam karaahiya ah u samaysay geed Asheeraah, oo Aasaa sanamkeedii wuu jebiyey oo wuxuu ka dhigay boodh, wuxuuna ku gubay durdurka Qidroon agtiisa.

He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made a horrid image as an Asherah, and Asa cut down her horrid image, crushed it and burned it at the brook Kidron.

17 L aakiinse meelihii sarsare dalka Israa'iil lagama baabbi'in, habase yeeshee Aasaa qalbigiisu wuu qummanaa cimrigiisii oo dhan.

But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa’s heart was blameless all his days.

18 O o gurigii Ilaah wuxuu soo geliyey alaabtii aabbihiis quduuska ka dhigay iyo alaabtii uu isaga qudhiisu quduuska ka dhigay, waxayna ahayd lacag iyo dahab iyo weelal.

He brought into the house of God the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver and gold and utensils.

19 O o dagaal dambena ma jirin ilaa sannaddii shan iyo soddonaad ee Aasaa boqornimadiisii.

And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
