15 — 2 Paralipomenon

1And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,Azaria figliuolo di Obed preso dallo Spirito di Dio,AND Azarias the sonne of Oded, the Spirit of God coming vpon him,Azarias autem filius Oded, facto in se spiritu Dei, 2And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.Andò incontro ad Asa, e gli disse: Udite le mie parole tu, o Asa, e tutto Giuda, e tutto Benjamin: Il Signore (è stato) con voi, perchè voi siete stati con lui. Se lo cercherete, lo troverete: se lo abbandonerete, egli vi abbandonerà.went out to meete Asa, and sayd to him: Heare ye me Asa, and al Iuda and Beniamin: Our Lord is with you, because you haue beene with him. If you wil seeke him, you shal finde: but if you forsake him, he wil forsake you.egressus est in occursum Asa, et dixit ei: Audite me, Asa, et omnis Juda et Benjamin: Dominus vobiscum, quia fuistis cum eo. Si quæsieritis eum, invenietis: si autem dereliqueritis eum, derelinquet vos. 3And many days shall pass in Israel, without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law.Molto tempo passerà Israele senza il vero Dio, e senza sacerdote, e senza dottore, e senza legge.And manie daies shal passe in Israel without the true God, and without Priest a teacher, and without the Law.Transibant autem multi dies in Israël absque Deo vero, et absque sacerdote doctore, et absque lege. 4And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him.E quando nelle angustie loro si rivolgeranno al Signore Dio loro, e lo cercheranno, lo troveranno.And when they shal returne in their distresse to our Lord the God of Ifrael, and shal seeke him, they shal finde him.Cumque reversi fuerint in angustia sua ad Dominum Deum Israël, et quæsierint eum, reperient eum. 5At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth.In quel tempo non vi sarà sicurezza per andare, e venire, ma saranno in terrore da ogni parte tutti gli abitatori della terra:At that time there shal not be peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrours on euerie side in the inhabiters of the earth.In tempore illo, non erit pax egredienti et ingredienti, sed terrores undique in cunctis habitatoribus terrarum: 6For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.Perocché prenderà le armi nazione contro nazione, e città contro città; perocché il Signore li porrà in iscompiglio con ogni sorta d'afflizioni.for nation shal fight agaynst nation, and citie agaynst citie, because our Lord wil truble them with al distresse.pugnavit enim gens contra gentem, et civitas contra civitatem, quia Dominus conturbabit eos in omni angustia.

7Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands be weakened: for there shall be a reward for your work.Voi pertanto armatevi di coraggio, e non s'illanguidiscano le vostre braccia: conciossiachè della fatica vostra avrete mercede.You therfore take courage, and let not your handes be dissolued: for there shal be reward to your worke.Vos ergo confortamini, et non dissolvantur manus vestræ: erit enim merces operi vestro. 8And when Asa had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch of the Lord.Ma Asa avendo udite le parole, di profezia di Azaria figliuolo di Obed profeta, si fece animo, e tolse via gl'idoli da tutto il paese di Giuda, e di Beniamin, e dalle città del monte Ephraim, che egli aveva espugnate, e dedicò l'altare del Signore che era dinanzi al portico del tempio del Signore.Which when Asa had heard, to witte, the wordes, and the prophecie of Azarias the sonne of Oded the prophete, he tooke courage, and tooke away the Idols out of al the land of Iuda, and out of Beniamin, and out of the cities, which he had taken, of mount Ephraim, and he dedicated the altar of our Lord, which was before the porche of our Lord.Quod cum audisset Asa, verba scilicet, et prophetiam Azariæ filii Oded prophetæ, confortatus est, et abstulit idola de omni terra Juda et de Benjamin, et ex urbibus quas ceperat, montis Ephraim: et dedicavit altare Domini quod erat ante porticum Domini. 9And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.E convocò tutto Giuda, Beniamin, e con essi gli estranei di Ephraim, e di Manasse, e di Simeon: perocché molti di quei d'Israele si ricoveravano presso di lui, veggendo come il Signore Dio suo era con lui.And he gathered together al Iuda and Beniamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and of Manasses, and of Simeon: for manie were fled to him of Israel, seing that our Lord his God was with him.Congregavitque universum Judam et Benjamin, et advenas cum eis de Ephraim, et de Manasse, et de Simeon: plures enim ad eum confugerant ex Israël, videntes quod Dominus Deus illius esset cum eo. 10And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,E quando furon venuti a Gerusalemme il terzo mese dell'anno decimoquinto del regno di Asa,And when they were come into Ierusalem the third moneth, in the fiftenth yeare of the reigne of Asa,Cumque venissent in Jerusalem mense tertio, anno decimoquinto regni Asa, 11They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams.Immolarono al Signore in quel di settecento bovi, e sette mila arieti della preda, che avean portata.they immolated to our Lord in that day of the spoiles, & the praie, that they had brought, oxen seuen hundred, and rammes seuen thousand.immolaverunt Domino in die illa de manubiis et præda quam adduxerant, boves septingentos, et arietes septem millia.

12And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul.Ed egli entrò secondo la costumanza affine di confermar l'alleanza, affinchè seguissero con tutto il cuore, e con tutta l'anima loro il Signore Dio de' padri loro.And he went in after the maner to establish the couenant, that they should seeke our Lord the God of their fathers in al their hart, and in al their soul.Et intravit ex more ad corroborandum fœdus ut quærerent Dominum Deum patrum suorum in toto corde, et in tota anima sua. 13And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman.Chiunque poi, disse egli, non cercherà il Signore Dio d'Israele, sia messo a morte o grande, o piccolo ch'ei sia, o maschio, o femmina.And if anie man, quoth he, shal not seeke our Lord the God of Israel, let him die, from the least to the greatest, from man vnto woman.Si quis autem, inquit, non quæsierit Dominum Deum Israël, moriatur, a minimo usque ad maximum, a viro usque ad mulierem. 14And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of cornets,E fecer giuramento al Signore a voce altissima, con gran festa, tra gli strepiti delle trombe, e al suono dei flauti,And they sware to our Lord with a lowd voyce in iubilation, and in noyse of trumpet, and sound of shaulmes,Juraveruntque Domino voce magna in jubilo, et in clangore tubæ, et in sonitu buccinarum, 15All that were in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about.Tutti quelli di Giuda con imprecazioni: perocché di tutto cuore giurarono, e con pienezza di volontà cercarono lui, e lo trovarono: e il Signore diede loro la pace da tutte parti.al that were in Iuda with execration: for in al their hart did they sweare, and with al their wil did they seeke him, and found him, & our Lord gaue them rest round about,omnes qui erant in Juda, cum execratione: in omni enim corde suo juraverunt, et in tota voluntate quæsierunt eum, et invenerunt: præstititque eis Dominus requiem per circuitum. 16Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron.E di più a Maacha madre di Asa re fu tolta da lui l'augusta dignità, perchè ella avea collocato in un boschetto il simolacro di Priapo; il quale egli ridusse in pezzi, e in polvere, e gettollo alle fiamme nel torrente Cedron.Yea and Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal empyre, because she had made in a groue the idol of Priapus: which he wholy destroyed, and breaking into peeces, burnt it in the Torrent cedron.Sed et Maacham matrem Asa regis ex augusto deposuit imperio, eo quod fecisset in luco simulacrum Priapi: quod omne contrivit, et in frustra comminuens combussit in torrente Cedron.

17But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.Nondimeno rimasero in Israele i luoghi eccelsi; ma contuttociò il cuore di Asa fu perfetto in tutto il tempo di sua vita.But the Excelses were leaft in Israel: neuerthelesse the hart of Asa was perfect al his daies.Excelsa autem derelicta sunt in Israël: attamen cor Asa erat perfectum cunctis diebus ejus, 18And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses.Ed egli portò nel tempio del Signore quello, che egli, e il padre suo avean promesso con voto, l'argento, e l'oro, e vasi di varie maniere.And those thinges which his father had vowed, and him self, he brought into the house of our Lord, gold and siluer, and of vessels diuers furniture.eaque quæ voverat pater suus, et ipse, intulit in domum Domini, argentum, et aurum, vasorumque diversam supellectilem. 19And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.E non fu guerra sino all'anno trentesimoquinto del re Asa.And there was no warre vnto the fiue and thirteth yeare of the reigne of Asa.Bellum vero non fuit usque ad trigesimum quintum annum regni Asa.
