1 El Espíritu de Dios vino sobre Azarías, hijo de Oded.
1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded.
2 Azarías salió al encuentro de Asa y le dijo: «Escúchenme, Asa y todo Judá y Benjamín. El Señor está con ustedes mientras ustedes estén con él. Si lo buscan, estará cerca de ustedes; si lo abandonan, él los abandonará.
2 He went out to meet Asa, and said to him, “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin! Yahweh is with you while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 Durante mucho tiempo Israel estuvo sin el Dios verdadero, sin un sacerdote que enseñara y sin la ley.
3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law.
4 Pero cuando, en medio de sus dificultades, volvieron al Señor, Dios de Israel, y lo buscaron, él dejó que lo encontraran.
4 But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
5 En aquellos tiempos nadie podía ir ni venir en paz. Todos los habitantes de las tierras sufrían grandes dificultades.
5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
6 Una nación atacaba a otra y una ciudad a otra. Las divisiones los destruían porque Dios les enviaba toda clase de desgracias.
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
7 Pero ustedes sean fuertes y no se desanimen, porque su trabajo tendrá recompensa».
7 But you be strong! Don’t let your hands be slack, for your work will be rewarded.”
8 Cuando Asa oyó estas palabras de Azarías, hijo del profeta Oded, cobró ánimo. Quitó los ídolos repugnantes de toda la tierra de Judá y Benjamín y de las ciudades que había conquistado en la región montañosa de Efraín. También reparó el altar del Señor que estaba frente al pórtico del templo del Señor.
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed Yahweh’s altar that was before Yahweh’s porch.
9 Reunió a todo Judá y Benjamín, y a los de Efraín, Manasés y Simeón que vivían entre ellos. Muchos habían llegado de Israel al ver que el Señor su Dios estaba con él.
9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon; for they came to him out of Israel in abundance when they saw that Yahweh his God was with him.
10 Se reunieron en Jerusalén en el tercer mes del año quince del reinado de Asa.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11 Ese día ofrecieron al Señor setecientos bueyes y siete mil ovejas del botín que habían tomado en la guerra.
11 They sacrificed to Yahweh in that day, from the plunder which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
12 Hicieron un pacto para ser fieles al Señor, Dios de sus antepasados, de todo corazón y con toda el alma.
12 They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 Quien no fuera fiel al Señor, Dios de Israel, sería condenado a muerte, fuera pequeño o grande, hombre o mujer.
13 and that whoever would not seek Yahweh, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14 Juraron al Señor en voz alta, al son de instrumentos de viento y trompetas.
14 They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Todo Judá se alegró por el juramento. Lo habían hecho de todo corazón y se habían vuelto al Señor con todo su deseo. Él estuvo con ellos y les dio paz por todas partes.
15 All Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found by them. Then Yahweh gave them rest all around.
16 Asa destituyó a su madre Maaca del puesto de reina, porque había hecho una imagen repugnante de Asera. Mandó cortar la imagen, hacerla pedazos y quemarla junto al arroyo Cedrón.
16 Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen mother, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; so Asa cut down her image, ground it into dust, and burned it at the brook Kidron.
17 Los santuarios en los lugares altos no fueron eliminados de Israel. Sin embargo, Asa fue fiel al Señor de todo corazón durante toda su vida.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 Llevó al templo de Dios la plata, el oro y los utensilios que su padre y él habían consagrado.
18 He brought the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated, silver, gold, and vessels into God’s house.
19 No hubo más guerra hasta el año treinta y cinco del reinado de Asa.
19 There was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… and David says distinctly, The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and in the Psalms, And take not thy Holy Spirit from me, and again, Thy good Spirit shall lead me in the land of righteousness. And as we have it in Chronicles, Azariah, in the time of King Asa, and Jahaziel in the time of King Jehoshaphat, …
