1 El Espíritu de Dios vino sobre Azarías, hijo de Oded.
1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded.
2 Salió al encuentro de Asa y le dijo: “Escúchame, Asa y todo Judá y Benjamín. El Señor está con ustedes mientras estén con él. Si lo buscan, lo encontrarán; pero si lo abandonan, él los abandonará a ustedes.
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 muchos años Israel estuvo sin el verdadero Dios, sin un sacerdote que les 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 tuvieron problemas, volvieron al Señor, el Dios de Israel; lo buscaron y lo encontraron.
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, viajar era peligroso, pues todos los habitantes de las tierras estaban muy revueltos. En todas partes la gente tenía terribles problemas.
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 La nación luchaba contra la nación, y el pueblo contra el pueblo, pues Dios los sumía en el pánico con toda clase de problemas.
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
7 Pero tú tienes que ser fuerte, no débil, porque serás recompensado por el trabajo que hagas”.
7 But you be strong! Don’t let your hands be slack, for your work will be rewarded.”
8 Cuando Asa escuchó estas palabras proféticas del profeta Azarías, hijo de Oded, se animó. Quitó los ídolos viles de todo el territorio de Judá y Benjamín y de las ciudades que había capturado en la región montañosa de Efraín. Luego 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 Entonces Asa convocó a todo Judá y Benjamín, junto con los israelitas de las tribus de Efraín, Manasés y Simeón que vivían entre ellos, pues mucha gente había desertado de Israel y se había acercado a Asa 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 decimoquinto año 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 sacrificaron al Señor setecientos bueyes y siete mil ovejas del botín que habían traído.
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 Luego hicieron un acuerdo para seguir concienzuda y completamente al Señor, el Dios de sus antepasados.
12 They entered into the covenant to seek Yahweh, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
13 También acordaron que cualquiera que se negara a seguir al Señor, el Dios de Israel, sería condenado a muerte, ya fuera joven o viejo, 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 Declararon su juramento con un fuerte grito, acompañado de trompetas y toques de cuernos de carnero.
14 They swore to Yahweh with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets, and with cornets.
15 Todo Judá se alegró del juramento que habían hecho a conciencia. Lo buscaron sinceramente, y lo encontraron. El Señor les dio la paz de todos sus enemigos.
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 El rey Asa también destituyó a Maaca de su cargo de reina madre por hacer un poste de Asera ofensivo. Asa cortó su vil ídolo, lo aplastó y lo quemó en el valle del 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 Mientras los lugares altos no fueron eliminados de Israel, Asa fue completamente devoto del Señor 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 los artículos de plata y oro que él y su padre habían dedicado.
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.

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, …
