1. וַעֲזַרְיָהוּ בֶּן־עֹודֵד הָיְתָה עָלָיו רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים׃
|
1. And the Spirit H7307 of God H430 came H1961 upon H5921 Azariah H5838 the son H1121 of Oded H5752 :
|
|
2. וַיֵּצֵא לִפְנֵי אָסָא וַיֹּאמֶר לֹו שְׁמָעוּנִי אָסָא וְכָל־יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן יְהוָה עִמָּכֶם בִּהְיֹותְכֶם עִמֹּו וְאִם־תִּדְרְשֻׁהוּ יִמָּצֵא לָכֶם וְאִם־תַּעַזְבֻהוּ יַעֲזֹב אֶתְכֶם׃ ס
|
2. And he went out H3318 to meet H6440 Asa H609 , and said H559 unto him, Hear H8085 ye me, Asa H609 , and all H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 ; The LORD H3068 is with H5973 you , while ye be H1961 with H5973 him ; and if H518 ye seek H1875 him , he will be found H4672 of you ; but if H518 ye forsake H5800 him , he will forsake H5800 you.

|
3. וְיָמִים רַבִּים לְיִשְׂרָאֵל לְלֹא ׀ אֱלֹהֵי אֱמֶת וּלְלֹא כֹּהֵן מֹורֶה וּלְלֹא תֹורָה׃
|
3. Now for a long season H7227 H3117 Israel H3478 hath been without H3808 the true H571 God H430 , and without H3808 a teaching H3384 priest H3548 , and without H3808 law H8451 .
|
|
4. וַיָּשָׁב בַּצַּר־לֹו עַל־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיְבַקְשֻׁהוּ וַיִּמָּצֵא לָהֶם׃
|
4. But when they in their trouble H6862 did turn H7725 unto H5921 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , and sought H1245 him , he was found H4672 of them.
|
|
5. וּבָעִתִּים הָהֵם אֵין שָׁלֹום לַיֹּוצֵא וְלַבָּא כִּי מְהוּמֹת רַבֹּות עַל כָּל־יֹושְׁבֵי הָאֲרָצֹות׃
|
5. And in those H1992 times H6256 there was no H369 peace H7965 to him that went out H3318 , nor to him that came in H935 , but H3588 great H7227 vexations H4103 were upon H5921 all H3605 the inhabitants H3427 of the countries H776 .
|
|
6. וְכֻתְּתוּ גֹוי־בְּגֹוי וְעִיר בְּעִיר כִּי־אֱלֹהִים הֲמָמָם בְּכָל־צָרָה׃
|
6. And nation H1471 was destroyed H3807 of nation H1471 , and city H5892 of city H5892 : for H3588 God H430 did vex H2000 them with all H3605 adversity H6869 .
|
|
7. וְאַתֶּם חִזְקוּ וְאַל־יִרְפּוּ יְדֵיכֶם כִּי יֵשׁ שָׂכָר לִפְעֻלַּתְכֶם׃ ס
|
7. Be ye strong H859 H2388 therefore , and let not H408 your hands H3027 be weak H7503 : for H3588 your work H6468 shall be H3426 rewarded H7939 .
|
|
8. וְכִשְׁמֹעַ אָסָא הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וְהַנְּבוּאָה עֹדֵד הַנָּבִיא הִתְחַזַּק וַיַּעֲבֵר הַשִּׁקּוּצִים מִכָּל־אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וּמִן־הֶעָרִים אֲשֶׁר לָכַד מֵהַר אֶפְרָיִם וַיְחַדֵּשׁ אֶת־מִזְבַּח יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר לִפְנֵי אוּלָם יְהוָה׃
|
8. And when Asa H609 heard H8085 these H428 words H1697 , and the prophecy H5016 of Oded H5752 the prophet H5030 , he took courage H2388 , and put away H5674 the abominable idols H8251 out of all H4480 H3605 the land H776 of Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 , and out of H4480 the cities H5892 which H834 he had taken H3920 from mount H4480 H2022 Ephraim H669 , and renewed H2318 H853 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 , that H834 was before H6440 the porch H197 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
9. וַיִּקְבֹּץ אֶת־כָּל־יְהוּדָה וּבִנְיָמִן וְהַגָּרִים עִמָּהֶם מֵאֶפְרַיִם וּמְנַשֶּׁה וּמִשִּׁמְעֹון כִּי־נָפְלוּ עָלָיו מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל לָרֹב בִּרְאֹתָם כִּי־יְהוָה אֱלֹהָיו עִמֹּו׃ פ
|
9. And he gathered H6908 H853 all H3605 Judah H3063 and Benjamin H1144 , and the strangers H1481 with H5973 them out of Ephraim H4480 H669 and Manasseh H4519 , and out of Simeon H4480 H8095 : for H3588 they fell H5307 to H5921 him out of Israel H4480 H3478 in abundance H7230 , when they saw H7200 that H3588 the LORD H3068 his God H430 was with H5973 him.
|
|
10. וַיִּקָּבְצוּ יְרוּשָׁלִַם בַּחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁלִישִׁי לִשְׁנַת חֲמֵשׁ־עֶשְׂרֵה לְמַלְכוּת אָסָא׃
|
10. So they gathered themselves together H6908 at Jerusalem H3389 in the third H7992 month H2320 , in the fifteenth H2568 H6240 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Asa H609 .
|
|
11. וַיִּזְבְּחוּ לַיהוָה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא מִן־הַשָּׁלָל הֵבִיאוּ בָּקָר שְׁבַע מֵאֹות וְצֹאן שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים׃
|
11. And they offered H2076 unto the LORD H3068 the same H1931 time H3117 , of H4480 the spoil H7998 which they had brought H935 , seven H7651 hundred H3967 oxen H1241 and seven H7651 thousand H505 sheep H6629 .
|
|
12. וַיָּבֹאוּ בַבְּרִית לִדְרֹושׁ אֶת־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי אֲבֹותֵיהֶם בְּכָל־לְבָבָם וּבְכָל־נַפְשָׁם׃
|
12. And they entered H935 into a covenant H1285 to seek H1875 H853 the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1 with all H3605 their heart H3824 and with all H3605 their soul H5315 ;
|
|
13. וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִדְרֹשׁ לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל יוּמָת לְמִן־קָטֹן וְעַד־גָּדֹול לְמֵאִישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁה׃
|
13. That whosoever H3605 H834 would not H3808 seek H1875 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 should be put to death H4191 , whether H4480 small H6996 or H5704 great H1419 , whether man H4480 H376 or H5704 woman H802 .
|
|
14. וַיִּשָּׁבְעוּ לַיהוָה בְּקֹול גָּדֹול וּבִתְרוּעָה וּבַחֲצֹצְרֹות וּבְשֹׁופָרֹות׃
|
14. And they swore H7650 unto the LORD H3068 with a loud H1419 voice H6963 , and with shouting H8643 , and with trumpets H2689 , and with cornets H7782 .
|
|
15. וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ כָל־יְהוּדָה עַל־הַשְּׁבוּעָה כִּי בְכָל־לְבָבָם נִשְׁבָּעוּ וּבְכָל־רְצֹונָם בִּקְשֻׁהוּ וַיִּמָּצֵא לָהֶם וַיָּנַח יְהוָה לָהֶם מִסָּבִיב׃
|
15. And all H3605 Judah H3063 rejoiced H8055 at H5921 the oath H7621 : for H3588 they had sworn H7650 with all H3605 their heart H3824 , and sought H1245 him with their whole H3605 desire H7522 ; and he was found H4672 of them : and the LORD H3068 gave them rest H5117 round about H4480 H5439 .
|
|
16. וְגַם־מַעֲכָה אֵם ׀ אָסָא הַמֶּלֶךְ הֱסִירָהּ מִגְּבִירָה אֲשֶׁר־עָשְׂתָה לַאֲשֵׁרָה מִפְלָצֶת וַיִּכְרֹת אָסָא אֶת־מִפְלַצְתָּהּ וַיָּדֶק וַיִּשְׂרֹף בְּנַחַל קִדְרֹון׃
|
16. And also H1571 concerning Maachah H4601 the mother H517 of Asa H609 the king H4428 , he removed H5493 her from being queen H4480 H1377 , because H834 she had made H6213 an idol H4656 in a grove H842 : and Asa H609 cut down H3772 H853 her idol H4656 , and stamped H1854 it , and burnt H8313 it at the brook H5158 Kidron H6939 .
|
|
17. וְהַבָּמֹות לֹא־סָרוּ מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל רַק לְבַב־אָסָא הָיָה שָׁלֵם כָּל־יָמָיו׃
|
17. But the high places H1116 were not H3808 taken away H5493 out of Israel H4480 H3478 : nevertheless H7535 the heart H3824 of Asa H609 was H1961 perfect H8003 all H3605 his days H3117 .
|
|
18. וַיָּבֵא אֶת־קָדְשֵׁי אָבִיו וְקָדָשָׁיו בֵּית הָאֱלֹהִים כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וְכֵלִים׃
|
18. And he brought into H935 the house H1004 of God H430 H853 the things that his father H1 had dedicated H6944 , and that he himself had dedicated H6944 , silver H3701 , and gold H2091 , and vessels H3627 .
|
|
19. וּמִלְחָמָה לֹא הָיָתָה עַד שְׁנַת־שְׁלֹשִׁים וְחָמֵשׁ לְמַלְכוּת אָסָא׃ ס
|
19. And there was H1961 no H3808 more war H4421 unto H5704 the five H2568 and thirtieth H7970 year H8141 of the reign H4438 of Asa H609 .
