WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Καὶ Ἀζαρίας υἱὸς Ὡδὴδ, ἐγένετο ἐπʼ αὐτὸν πνεῦμα Κυρίου.

1 Y FUÉ el espíritu de Dios sobre Azarías hijo de Obed;

1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded.

2 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εἰς ἀπάντησιν Ἀσὰ καὶ παντὶ Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν, καὶ εἶπεν, ἀκούσατέ μου Ἀσὰ, καὶ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμίν· Κύριος μεθʼ ὑμῶν ἐν τῷ εἶναι ὑμᾶς μετʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐὰν ἐκζητήσητε αὐτὸν εὑρεθήσεται ὑμῖν, καὶ ἐὰν ἐγκαταλείπητε αὐτὸν, ἐγκαταλείψει ὑμᾶς.

2 Y salió al encuentro á Asa, y díjole: Oidme, Asa, y todo Judá y Benjamín: Jehová es con vosotros, si vosotros fuereis con él: y si le buscareis, será hallado de vosotros; mas si le dejareis, él también os dejará.

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 Καὶ ἡμέραι πολλαὶ τῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν οὐ Θεῷ ἀληθινῷ, καὶ οὐχ ἱερέως ὑποδεικνῦντος, καὶ ἐν οὐ νόμῳ.

3 Muchos días ha estado Israel sin verdadero Dios y sin sacerdote, y sin enseñador y sin ley:

3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without law.

4 Καὶ ἐπιστρέψει αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ εὑρεθήσεται αὐτοῖς.

4 Mas cuando en su tribulación se convirtieron á Jehová Dios de Israel, y le buscaron, él fué hallado de ellos.

4 But when in their distress they turned to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.

5 Καὶ ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ οὐκ ἔστιν εἰρήνη τῷ ἐκπορευομένῳ καὶ τῷ εἰσπορευομένῳ, ὅτι ἔκστασις Κυρίου ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὰς χώρας.

5 En aquellos tiempos no hubo paz, ni para el que entraba, ni para el que salía, sino muchas aflicciones sobre todos los habitadores de las tierras.

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 Καὶ πολεμήσει ἔθνος πρὸς ἔθνος καὶ πόλις πρὸς πόλιν, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ἐξέστησεν αὐτοὺς ἐν πάσῃ θλίψει.

6 Y la una gente destruía á la otra, y una ciudad á otra ciudad: porque Dios los conturbó con todas calamidades.

6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.

7 Καὶ ὑμεῖς ἰσχύσατε, καὶ μὴ ἐκλυέσθωσαν αἱ χεῖρες ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἔστι μισθὸς τῇ ἐργασίᾳ ὑμῶν.

7 Esforzaos empero vosotros, y no desfallezcan vuestras manos; que salario hay para vuestra obra.

7 But you be strong! Don’t let your hands be slack, for your work will be rewarded.”

8 Καὶ ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν προφητείαν Ἀδὰδ τοῦ προφήτου, καὶ κατίσχυσε καὶ ἐξέβαλε τὰ βδελύγματα ἀπὸ πάσης τῆς γῆς Ἰούδα καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν πόλεων ὧν κατέσχεν Ἱεροβοὰμ ἐν ὄρει Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ἐνεκαίνισε τὸ θυσιαστήριον Κυρίου, ὃ ἦν ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ ναοῦ Κυρίου.

8 Y como oyó Asa las palabras y profecía de Obed profeta, fué confortado, y quitó las abominaciones de toda la tierra de Judá y de Benjamín, y de las ciudades que él había tomado en el monte de Ephraim; y reparó el altar de Jehová que estaba delante del pórtico de Jehová.

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 Καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασε τὸν Ἰούδαν καὶ Βενιαμὶν καὶ τοὺς προσηλύτους τοὺς παροικοῦντας μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἀπὸ Μανασσῆ καὶ ἀπὸ Συμεὼν, ὅτι προσετέθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν πολλοὶ τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῷ ἰδεῖν αὐτοὺς, ὅτι Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ.

9 Después hizo juntar á todo Judá y Benjamín, y con ellos los extranjeros de Ephraim, y de Manasés, y de Simeón: porque muchos de Israel se habían pasado á él, viendo que Jehová su Dios era 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 Καὶ συνήχθησαν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ τρίτῳ ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ πεντεκαιδεκάτῳ τῆς βασιλείας Ἀσά.

10 Juntáronse pues en Jerusalem en el mes tercero del año décimoquinto 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 Καὶ ἔθυσε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀπὸ τῶν σκύλων ὧν ἤνεγκαν, μόσχους ἑπτακοσίους καὶ πρόβατα ἑπτακισχίλια.

11 Y en aquel mismo día sacrificaron á Jehová, de los despojos que habían traído, setecientos bueyes y siete mil ovejas.

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 Καὶ διῆλθεν ἐν διαθήκῃ ζητῆσαι Κύριον Θεὸν τῶν πατέρων αὐτῶν ἐξ ὅλης τῆς καρδίας καὶ ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτῶν.

12 Y entraron en concierto de que buscarían á Jehová el Dios de sus padres, de todo su corazón y de toda su 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 Καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἐὰν μὴ ἐκζητήσῃ τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἀποθανεῖται ἀπὸ νεωτέρου ἕως πρεσβυτέρου, ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός.

13 Y que cualquiera que no buscase á Jehová el Dios de Israel, muriese, grande ó pequeño, hombre ó 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 Καὶ ὤμοσαν ἐν Κυρίῳ ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ ἐν σάλπιγξι καὶ ἐν κερατίναις.

14 Y juraron á Jehová con gran voz y júbilo, á son de trompetas y de bocinas:

14 They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.

15 Καὶ εὐφράνθησαν πᾶς Ἰούδα περὶ τοῦ ὅρκου, ὅτι ἐξ ὅλης τῆς ψυχῆς ὤμοσαν, καὶ ἐν πάσῃ θελήσει ἐζήτησαν αὐτὸν· καὶ εὑρέθη αὐτοῖς, καὶ κατέπαυσε Κύριος αὐτοῖς κυκλόθεν.

15 Del cual juramento todos los de Judá se alegraron; porque de todo su corazón lo juraban, y de toda su voluntad lo buscaban: y fué hallado de ellos; y dióles Jehová reposo de 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 Καὶ τὴν Μααχὰ τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ μετέστησε τοῦ μὴ εἶναι τῇ Ἀστάρτῃ λειτουργοῦσαν, καὶ κατέκοψε τὸ εἴδωλον, καὶ κατέκαυσεν ἐν χειμάῤῥῳ Κέδρων.

16 Y aun á Maachâ madre del rey Asa, él [mismo] la depuso de su dignidad, porque había hecho un ídolo en el bosque: y Asa deshizo su ídolo, y lo desmenuzó, y quemó en el torrente de 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 Πλὴν τὰ ὑψηλὰ οὐκ ἀπέστησαν, ἔτι ὑπῆρχεν ἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ· ἀλλʼ ἡ καρδία Ἀσὰ ἐγένετο πλήρης πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας αὐτοῦ.

17 Mas con todo eso los altos no eran quitados de Israel, aunque el corazón de Asa fué perfecto mientras vivió.

17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

18 Καὶ εἰσήνεγκε τὰ ἅγια Δαυὶδ τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὰ ἅγια οἴκου τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ σκεύη.

18 Y metió en la casa de Dios lo que su padre había dedicado, y lo que él había consagrado, plata y oro y vasos.

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 Καὶ πόλεμος οὖκ ἦν μετʼ αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ πέμπτου καὶ τριακοστοῦ ἔτους τῆς βασιλείας Ἀσά.

19 Y no hubo guerra hasta los treinta y cinco años del reinado de Asa.

19 There was no more war to the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
