WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Τότε ήλθε το πνεύμα του Θεού επί Αζαρίαν τον υιόν του Ωδήδ·
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 και εξήλθεν εις συνάντησιν του Ασά και είπε προς αυτόν, Ακούσατέ μου, Ασά και πας ο Ιούδας και ο Βενιαμίν· Ο Κύριος είναι με σας, όταν σεις είσθε μετ' αυτού· και εάν εκζητήτε αυτόν, θέλει ευρεθή εις εσάς· εάν όμως εγκαταλείψητε αυτόν, θέλει σας εγκαταλείψει·
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 πολύν μεν καιρόν εστάθη ο Ισραήλ χωρίς του αληθινού Θεού και χωρίς ιερέως διδάσκοντος και χωρίς νόμου·
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 ότε όμως εν τη στενοχωρία αυτών επέστρεψαν εις Κύριον τον Θεόν του Ισραήλ και εξεζήτησαν αυτόν, ευρέθη εις αυτούς·
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 και κατ' εκείνους τους καιρούς δεν ήτο ειρήνη εις τον εξερχόμενον και εις τον εισερχόμενον, αλλ' ήσαν μεγάλαι ταραχαί επί πάντας τους κατοίκους των τόπων·
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 και εφθείρετο έθνος υπό έθνους και πόλις υπό πόλεως· διότι ο Θεός κατέθλιβεν αυτούς εν πάση στενοχωρία·
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 σεις δε ενδυναμούσθε, και ας μη ήναι εκλελυμέναι αι χείρές σας· διότι θέλει είσθαι μισθός εις το έργον σας.
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 Και ότε ήκουσεν ο Ασά τους λόγους τούτους και την προφητείαν Ωδήδ του προφήτου, ενεδυναμώθη και απέβαλε τα βδελύγματα εκ πάσης της γης Ιούδα και Βενιαμίν και εκ των πόλεων, τας οποίας έλαβεν εκ του όρους Εφραΐμ, και ανενέωσε το θυσιαστήριον του Κυρίου, το κατ' έμπροσθεν του προνάου του 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 Και συνήγαγε πάντα τον Ιούδαν και τον Βενιαμίν, και τους παροικούντας μετ' αυτών εκ του Εφραΐμ και Μανασσή και εκ του Συμεών· διότι πολλοί εκ του Ισραήλ προσεχώρησαν εις αυτόν, ιδόντες ότι Κύριος ο Θεός αυτού ήτο μετ' αυτού.
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 Και συνήχθησαν εις Ιερουσαλήμ κατά τον τρίτον μήνα του δεκάτου πέμπτου έτους της βασιλείας του Ασά.
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 Και προσέφεραν θυσίας εις τον Κύριον, κατά την ημέραν εκείνην, εκ των λαφύρων τα οποία έφεραν, επτακοσίους βόας και επτά χιλιάδας προβάτων.
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 Και εισήλθον εις συνθήκην να εκζητήσωσι Κύριον τον Θεόν των πατέρων αυτών, εξ όλης της καρδίας αυτών και εξ όλης της ψυχής αυτών·
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 και πας όστις δεν εκζητήση Κύριον τον Θεόν του Ισραήλ να θανατόνηται, από μικρού έως μεγάλου, από ανδρός έως 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 Και ώμοσαν προς τον Κύριον εν φωνή μεγάλη και εν αλαλαγμώ και εν σάλπιγξι και εν 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 Και πας ο Ιούδας ευφράνθη εις τον όρκον· διότι ώμοσαν εξ όλης της καρδίας αυτών και εξεζήτησαν αυτόν μεθ' όλης της θελήσεως αυτών· και ευρέθη εις αυτούς· και έδωκεν εις αυτούς ο Κύριος ανάπαυσιν 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 Έτι δε Μααχά, την μητέρα του βασιλέως Ασά, απέβαλεν αυτήν του να ήναι βασίλισσα, επειδή έκαμεν είδωλον εις άλσος· και κατέκοψεν ο Ασά το είδωλον αυτής και συνέτριψε και έκαυσεν αυτό εις τον χείμαρρον 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 Οι υψηλοί όμως τόποι δεν αφηρέθησαν από του Ισραήλ· πλην η καρδία του Ασά ήτο τελεία πάσας τας ημέρας αυτού.
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 Και έφερεν εις τον οίκον του Θεού τα αφιερώματα του πατρός αυτού και τα εαυτού αφιερώματα, άργυρον και χρυσόν και 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 Και δεν έγεινε πόλεμος έως του τριακοστού πέμπτου έτους της βασιλείας του Ασά.
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.

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, …
