Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1After this, the Moabites and Ammonites, together with some of the Meunites, came to make war against Jehoshaphat.
1此后， 摩押 人和 亚扪 人，又有 米乌尼 人，一同来攻击 约沙法 。
2Then some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the Sea; they are already in Hazazon-tamar” (that is, En-gedi).
2有人来报告 约沙法 说：「从海外 亚兰 那边有大军来攻击你，如今他们在 哈洗逊·他玛 ，就是 隐·基底 。」
3Jehoshaphat was alarmed and set his face to seek the LORD. And he proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.
3约沙法 便惧怕，定意寻求耶和华，在 犹大 全地宣告禁食。
4So the people of Judah gathered to seek the LORD, and indeed, they came from all the cities of Judah to seek Him.
4于是 犹大 人聚会，求耶和华 帮助 。 犹大 各城都有人出来寻求耶和华。
5Then Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem in the house of the LORD in front of the new courtyard
5约沙法 就在 犹大 和 耶路撒冷 的会中，站在耶和华殿的新院前，
6and said, “O LORD, God of our fathers, are You not the God who is in heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand, and no one can stand against You.
6说：「耶和华—我们列祖的 神啊，你不是天上的 神吗？你不是万邦万国的主宰吗？在你手中有大能大力，无人能抵挡你。
7Our God, did You not drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham Your friend?
7我们的 神啊，你不是曾在你民 以色列 人面前驱逐这地的居民，将这地赐给你朋友 亚伯拉罕 的后裔永远为业吗？
8They have lived in the land and have built in it a sanctuary for Your Name, saying,
8他们住在这地，又为你的名建造圣所，说：
9‘If disaster comes upon us—whether sword or judgment, plague or famine—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your Name is in this temple. We will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save us.’
9『倘有祸患临到我们，或刀兵灾殃，或瘟疫饥荒，我们在急难的时候，站在这殿前向你呼求，你必垂听而拯救，因为你的名在这殿里。』
10And now, here are the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt; but Israel turned away from them and did not destroy them.
10从前 以色列 人出 埃及 地的时候，你不容 以色列 人侵犯 亚扪 人、 摩押 人，和 西珥山 人， 以色列 人就离开他们，不灭绝他们。
11See how they are repaying us by coming to drive us out of the possession that You gave us as an inheritance.
11看哪，他们怎样报复我们，要来驱逐我们出离你的地，就是你赐给我们为业之地。
12Our God, will You not judge them? For we are powerless before this vast army that comes against us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.”
12我们的 神啊，你不惩罚他们吗？因为我们无力抵挡这来攻击我们的大军，我们也不知道怎样行，我们的眼目单仰望你。」
13Meanwhile all the men of Judah, with their wives and children and little ones, were standing before the LORD.
13犹大 众人和他们的婴孩、妻子、儿女都站在耶和华面前。
14Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jahaziel son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite from Asaph’s descendants, as he stood in the midst of the assembly.
14那时，耶和华的灵在会中临到 利未 人 亚萨 的后裔— 玛探雅 的玄孙， 耶利 的曾孙， 比拿雅 的孙子， 撒迦利雅 的儿子 雅哈悉 。
15And he said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God.
15他说：「 犹大 众人、 耶路撒冷 的居民，和 约沙法 王，你们请听。耶和华对你们如此说：『不要因这大军恐惧惊惶；因为胜败不在乎你们，乃在乎 神。
16Tomorrow you are to march down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing the Wilderness of Jeruel.
16明日你们要下去迎敌，他们是从 洗斯 坡上来，你们必在 耶鲁伊勒 旷野前的谷口遇见他们。
17You need not fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out and face them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’”
17犹大 和 耶路撒冷 人哪，这次你们不要争战，要摆阵站着，看耶和华为你们施行拯救。不要恐惧，也不要惊惶。明日当出去迎敌，因为耶和华与你们同在。』」
18Then Jehoshaphat bowed facedown, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down before the LORD to worship Him.
18约沙法 就面伏于地， 犹大 众人和 耶路撒冷 的居民也俯伏在耶和华面前，叩拜耶和华。
19And the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, shouting in a very loud voice.
19哥辖 族和 可拉 族的 利未 人都起来，用极大的声音赞美耶和华 以色列 的 神。
20Early in the morning they got up and left for the Wilderness of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood up and said, “Hear me, O people of Judah and Jerusalem. Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be upheld; believe in His prophets, and you will succeed.”
20次日清早，众人起来往 提哥亚 的旷野去。出去的时候， 约沙法 站着说：「 犹大 人和 耶路撒冷 的居民哪，要听我说：信耶和华—你们的 神就必立稳；信他的先知就必亨通。」
21Then Jehoshaphat consulted with the people and appointed those who would sing to the LORD and praise the splendor of His holiness. As they went out before the army, they were singing: “Give thanks to the LORD, for His loving devotion endures forever.”
21约沙法 既与民商议了，就设立歌唱的人，颂赞耶和华，使他们穿上圣洁的礼服，走在军前赞美耶和华说：「当称谢耶和华，因他的慈爱永远长存！」
22The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.
22众人方唱歌赞美的时候，耶和华就派伏兵击杀那来攻击 犹大 人的 亚扪 人、 摩押 人，和 西珥山 人，他们就被打败了。
23The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir, devoting them to destruction. And when they had made an end to the inhabitants of Seir, they helped to destroy one another.
23因为 亚扪 人和 摩押 人起来，击杀住 西珥山 的人，将他们灭尽；灭尽住 西珥山 的人之后，他们又彼此自相击杀。
24When the men of Judah came to a place overlooking the wilderness, they looked for the vast army, but there were only corpses lying on the ground; no one had escaped.
24犹大 人来到旷野的望楼，向那大军观看，见尸横遍地，没有一个逃脱的。
25Then Jehoshaphat and his people went to carry off the plunder, and they found on the bodies an abundance of goods and valuables —more than they could carry away. They were gathering the plunder for three days because there was so much.
25约沙法 和他的百姓就来收取敌人的财物，在尸首中见了许多财物、珍宝，他们剥脱下来的多得不可携带；因为甚多，直收取了三日。
26On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, where they blessed the LORD. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Beracah to this day.
26第四日众人聚集在 比拉迦谷 ，在那里称颂耶和华。因此那地方名叫 比拉迦谷 ，直到今日。
27Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies.
27犹大 人和 耶路撒冷 人都欢欢喜喜地回 耶路撒冷 ， 约沙法 率领他们；因为耶和华使他们战胜仇敌，就欢喜快乐。
28So they entered Jerusalem and went into the house of the LORD with harps, lyres, and trumpets.
28他们弹琴、鼓瑟、吹号来到 耶路撒冷 ，进了耶和华的殿。
29And the fear of God came upon all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
29列邦诸国听见耶和华战败 以色列 的仇敌，就甚惧怕。
30Then Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.
30这样， 约沙法 的国得享太平，因为 神赐他四境平安。
31So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
31约沙法 作 犹大 王，登基的时候年三十五岁，在 耶路撒冷 作王二十五年。他母亲名叫 阿苏巴 ，乃 示利希 的女儿。
32And Jehoshaphat walked in the way of his father Asa and did not turn away from it; he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
32约沙法 效法他父 亚撒 所行的，不偏左右，行耶和华眼中看为正的事。
33The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
33只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓也没有立定心意归向他们列祖的 神。
34As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Chronicles of Jehu son of Hanani, which are recorded in the Book of the Kings of Israel.
34约沙法 其余的事，自始至终都写在 哈拿尼 的儿子 耶户 的书上，也载入 以色列 诸王记上。
35Later, Jehoshaphat king of Judah made an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted wickedly.
35此后， 犹大 王 约沙法 与 以色列 王 亚哈谢 交好； 亚哈谢 行恶太甚。
36They agreed to make ships to go to Tarshish, and these were built in Ezion-geber.
36二王合伙造船要往 他施 去，遂在 以旬·迦别 造船。
37Then Eliezer son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” So the ships were wrecked and were unable to sail to Tarshish.
37那时 玛利沙 人、 多大瓦 的儿子 以利以谢 向 约沙法 预言说：「因你与 亚哈谢 交好，耶和华必破坏你所造的。」后来那船果然破坏，不能往 他施 去了。
