And Azarias the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,

¹

Аза'рїя же сн~ъ а^да'довъ, бы'сть в не'мъ дх~ъ бж~їи,

²

and he went out to meet Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin. The Lord is with you, while ye are with him; and if ye seek him out, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

²

и^зы'иде въ срњтенїе а%ссы, і^ё^де'ѓ^въ, и^ венїами'на, и^ реq е^мђ” Оу^слы'шите м^я а%сса. и^ весь і^ё'да, и^ венїами'нъ. г~ь с ва'ми, ја%ко бы'сте с ни'мъ. а%ще в#зы'щете е^го, ѓ^бра'щется ва'мъ. а%ще же ѓ^ста'вите е^го, ѓ^ста'витъ васъ.

³

And Israel has been a long time without the true God, and without a priest to expound the truth, and without the law.

³

мно'ги дн~и въ і^и^л~и без#бж~їя и%стинны, и^ без# сщ~енниковъ, и^ без# ё^чи'тель же, и^ беZ зако'на”

⁴

But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.

⁴

Є$гда же и^ ѓ^брати'тъ и^хъ въ печа'лехъ своиX. и^ възопїютъ къ г~ђ б~ђ і^и^л~евђ, ѓ^бря'щется и^мъ.

⁵

And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands.

⁵

въ вре'мя ѓ'но не бђдеT ми'ръ и^сходя'щемђ, ја%ко ја%рость гн~я на всњ'хъ ѓ^бита'ющиX на земли`”

⁶

And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every kind of affliction.

⁶

И$ ѓ^полчи'тъ бо ся ја^зы'къ на ја^зы'къ, и^ граD проти'вђ гра'дђ, ја%ко г~ь смђтиT и^хъ въ вся'кои печа'ли.

⁷

But be ye strong, and let not your hands be weakened: for there is a reward for your work.

⁷

и^ в^ы ё^бо ё^крњпи'теся. и^ не ѓ^вя'жђтся рђ'ки ва'ши. бђ'детъ б^о м#зда` дњ'ла ва'шего”

⁸

And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Adad the prophet, then he strengthened himself, and cast out the abominations from all the land of Juda and Benjamin, and from the cities which Jeroboam possessed, in mount Ephraim, and he renewed the altar of the Lord, which was before the temple of the Lord.

⁸

И$же е^гда слы'ша а%с#са словеса` сїя, и^ пррoчество а^за'рїя пррoка. ё^крњпи'ся и^ эTя'тъ и%долы, эT всея` земля` і^и^ё'ды и^ венїами'на, и^ эT грDа и%хъже ё^крњпи` и^е^ровоа'мъ въ горњ е^фре'мли” И$ ѓ^сщ~а ѓ%лтаръ гн~ь и^же б^њ преD притво'ромъ гн~имъ.

⁹

And he assembled Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers that dwelt with him, of Ephraim, and of Manasse, and of Symeon: for many of Israel were joined to him, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

⁹

събра же всего і^ё'дђ, и^ венїами'на. и^ пришеlцы ѓ^бита'ющїи с ни'ми эT е^фрема, и^ манасїя, и^ эT симеѓ'на. мно'ѕи б^о к немђ прибњго'ша эT і^и^л~я, ви'дящи ја%же г~ь б~ъ е^го бы'сть с ни'мъ.

¹⁰

And they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

¹⁰

е^гда же прїидо'ша въ і^ерsлимъ. въ мцsъ, г~. в лњто, е~і. црsтва а%с#сы”

¹¹

And he sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils which they brought, seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.

¹¹

И$ пожро'ша г~ђ въ дн~ь то'и эT кори'сти, и^ плњне'нїи е^же возведо'ша волоv, з~ соT и^ ѓ'венъ, з~. тыся'щ#

¹²

And he entered into a covenant that they should seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.

¹²

и^ вни'де эT зако'на на ё^крњпле'нїе ми'ра да взы'щTђ г~а б~а эTц~ъ свои^хъ, и^ всњ'мъ срDцем#, и^ всею` дш~ею и^хъ.

¹³

And that whoever should not seek the Lord God of Israel, should die, whether young or old, whether man or woman.

¹³

и^ вся'къ и^же речеT, не взыска'ти г~а б~а і^и^л~ева да ё'мреT, эT ме'ньшаго да'же до бо'лшаго. эT мђжа да'же до жены`.

¹⁴

And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice, and with trumpets, and with cornets.

¹⁴

закля'ша же ся г~ђ гла'сомъ вели'кимъ, въ восклица'нїи. и^ въ звђ'кђ трђ'бномъ.

¹⁵

And all Juda rejoiced concerning the oath: for they swore with all their heart, and they sought him with all their desires; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.

¹⁵

вси же і^ё^де'и възра'довашася ѓ^ кля'твњ. всњ'мъ срDцемъ свои^мъ кля'шася, и^ въ все'и воли в#зыска'ша е^го, и^ ѓ^брњте'ся и^мъ” Пода'сть же и^мъ г~ь поко'и по ѓ%крsтъ”

¹⁶

And he removed Maacha his mother from being priestess to Astarte; and he cut down the idol, and burnt it in the brook of Kedron.

¹⁶

Но и^ маа'хђ мт~рь свою` и^змњни'лъ е^же не бы'ти въ слђж#бђ а^ста'рта и%дола, и^ съкрђши` е^го, в# кђ'съ раздроби`, и^ сож#же въ пото'цњ ке'дръстњмъ,

¹⁷

Nevertheless they removed not the high places: they still existed in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

¹⁷

ра'звњ вы'шняа ѓ^ста'ви зане` бњ въ і^ё^де'и и^ въ і^и^л~и” Но и^ срDце а%с#сы бњ съверше'но въ всњхъ дн~ехъ е^го”

¹⁸

And he brought in the holy things of David his father, and the holy things of the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.

¹⁸

И$ внесе` ст~ая дв~да эTц~а свое^го, и^ ст~аа в домђ` бж~їи, и^ сребро` и^ зла'то, съсђ'ды

¹⁹

And there was no war waged with him until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.

¹⁹

и^ бра'нь не бы'сть съ ни'мъ, да'же до, л~е~ го, лњта црsтва а%ссина”
