Azarjáhú próféciája
15 Isten Szelleme szállt Azarjáhúra, Ódéd fiára. 2 Kiment Ászá és serege elé, és ezt mondta nekik: „Hallgassatok rám, Ászá és Júda meg Benjámin népe! Az Örökkévaló veletek van, ameddig ti is vele vagytok. Ha keresitek őt, meg is fogjátok találni, de ha elhagyjátok, ő is elhagy titeket. 3 Izráel népe régóta él az igaz Isten nélkül, tanító pap és törvény nélkül. 4 Amikor bajba kerültek, az Örökkévalóhoz, Izráel Istenéhez fordultak, keresték őt, és akkor meg is találták. 5 Azokban az időkben nem volt békessége sem azoknak, akik útra keltek, sem azoknak, akik hazatértek, mert súlyos csapások zúdultak az országok minden lakosára. 6 Egyik nép a másikat pusztította, egyik város a másikra támadt, mert Isten sújtotta őket mindenféle bajjal. 7 Ti azonban legyetek erősek, és kezetek ne lankadjon, mert munkátoknak meglesz a jutalma!”
8 Amikor Ászá hallotta ezeket a szavakat, és Ódéd próféta próféciáját, felbátorodott, és teljesen kiirtotta az utálatos bálványokat Júda és Benjámin területéről, valamint azokból a városokból, amelyeket Efraim dombvidékén elfoglalt. Azután helyreállította az Örökkévaló oltárát, amely az Örökkévaló Templomának oszlopcsarnoka előtt állt.
A szövetség megújítása
9 Majd Ászá összehívta Jeruzsálembe a népet Júdából és Benjáminból, sőt azokat is, akik Efraim, Manassé és Simeon törzséből közöttük laktak. Ugyanis Izráel országából sokan átköltöztek Ászá királyságába, Júdába, mert látták, hogy Istene, az Örökkévaló vele van.
10 Így hát uralkodásának tizenötödik évében, a harmadik hónapban nagy sokaság gyűlt össze Jeruzsálemben. 11 Az etiópok elleni hadjáratban szerzett zsákmányból áldoztak az Örökkévalónak 700 bikát és 7 000 juhot. 12 Szövetséget kötöttek, és megfogadták, hogy az Örökkévalót, őseik Istenét fogják keresni és követni teljes szívvel-lélekkel. 13 Elhatározták, hogy ha valaki nem akarja az Örökkévalót, Izráel Istenét keresni és követni, annak meg kell halnia — akárki legyen, férfi vagy nő, idős vagy fiatal. 14 Ezt az ígéretüket esküvel is megerősítették, az egész sokaság hangosan felkiáltott, megfújták a trombitákat és a sófárokat. 15 Egész Júda népe örvendezett és ujjongott az eskü miatt, mert teljes szívvel-lélekkel tették ezt. Teljes szívvel keresték az Örökkévalót — és meg is találták. Ő pedig békességet és nyugalmat adott nekik körös-körül mindenfelől.
16 Ászá király még saját anyját, Maakát is megfosztotta az anyakirálynői méltóságtól, mert Maaká egy utálatos bálványt állított fel Asera tiszteletére. Ászá kivágatta ezt a bálványt, összetörte és megégette a Kidron-patak völgyében. 17 A magaslatok ugyan megmaradtak Izráelben, Ászá szíve azonban tiszta volt egész életében.
18 Ászá bevitte Isten Templomába azokat az ezüst- és aranytárgyakat és egyéb kincseket, amelyeket apja, Abijjá, illetve ő maga az Örökkévalónak szentelt. 19 Uralkodásának harmincötödik évéig[a] nem volt több háború Júdában.

Asa’s Reform(A)
15 The Spirit of God came on(B) Azariah son of Oded. 2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you(C) when you are with him.(D) If you seek(E) him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.(F) 3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach(G) and without the law.(H) 4 But in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him,(I) and he was found by them. 5 In those days it was not safe to travel about,(J) for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. 6 One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another,(K) because God was troubling them with every kind of distress. 7 But as for you, be strong(L) and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”(M)
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of[a] Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols(N) from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured(O) in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar(P) of the Lord that was in front of the portico of the Lord’s temple.
9 Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers(Q) had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month(R) of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 11 At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder(S) they had brought back. 12 They entered into a covenant(T) to seek the Lord,(U) the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. 13 All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death,(V) whether small or great, man or woman. 14 They took an oath to the Lord with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns. 15 All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God(W) eagerly, and he was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest(X) on every side.
16 King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maakah(Y) from her position as queen mother,(Z) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah.(AA) Asa cut it down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley.(AB) 17 Although he did not remove the high places from Israel, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the Lord all his life. 18 He brought into the temple of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.(AC)
19 There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

The Reforms of Asa
15 Now (A)the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded. 2 And he went out [a]to meet Asa, and said to him: “Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. (B)The Lord is with you while you are with Him. (C)If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but (D)if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. 3 (E)For a long time Israel has been without the true God, without a (F)teaching priest, and without (G)law; 4 but (H)when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them. 5 And in those times there was no peace to the one who went out, nor to the one who came in, but great turmoil was on all the inhabitants of the lands. 6 (I)So nation was [b]destroyed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every adversity. 7 But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded!”
8 And when Asa heard these words and the prophecy of [c]Oded the prophet, he took courage, and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities (J)which he had taken in the mountains of Ephraim; and he restored the altar of the Lord that was before the vestibule of the Lord. 9 Then he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and (K)those who dwelt with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they came over to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 So they gathered together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa. 11 (L)And they offered to the Lord [d]at that time seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep from the [e]spoil they had brought. 12 Then they (M)entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul; 13 (N)and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel (O)was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman. 14 Then they took an oath before the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting and trumpets and rams’ horns. 15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath, for they had sworn with all their heart and (P)sought Him with all their soul; and He was found by them, and the Lord gave them (Q)rest all around.
16 Also he removed (R)Maachah, the [f]mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother, because she had made an obscene image of [g]Asherah; and Asa cut down her obscene image, then crushed and burned it by the Brook Kidron. 17 But (S)the [h]high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was loyal all his days.
18 He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated and that he himself had dedicated: silver and gold and utensils. 19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
