歷代志下 15
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1上帝的靈感動 俄德 的兒子 亞撒利雅 。
1Now the Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.
2他出來迎接 亞撒 ，對他說：「 亞撒 和 猶大 、 便雅憫 眾人哪，要聽我說：你們若順從耶和華，耶和華必與你們同在；你們若尋求他，就必尋見；你們若離棄他，他必離棄你們。
2So he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you when you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
3以色列 人不信真神，沒有訓誨的祭司，也沒有律法，已經好久了；
3For many years Israel has been without the true God, without a priest to instruct them, and without the law.
4但他們在急難的時候歸向耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝，尋求他，他就被他們尋見。
4But in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them.
5那時，出入的人不得平安，列國的居民都遭大亂；
5In those days there was no safety for travelers, because the residents of the lands had many conflicts.
6這國攻擊那國，這城攻擊那城，互相破壞，因為上帝用各樣災難擾亂他們。
6Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God afflicted them with all kinds of adversity.
7現在你們要剛強，不要手軟，因你們所行的必得賞賜。」
7But as for you, be strong; do not be discouraged, for your work will be rewarded.”
8亞撒 聽見這話和 俄德 兒子 先知 亞撒利雅 的預言，就壯起膽來，在 猶大 、 便雅憫 全地，並 以法蓮 山地所奪的各城，將可憎之物盡都除掉，又在耶和華 殿 的廊前重新修築耶和華的壇；
8When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. He then restored the altar of the LORD that was in front of the portico of the LORD’s temple.
9又招聚 猶大 、 便雅憫 的眾人，並他們中間寄居的 以法蓮 人、 瑪拿西 人、 西緬 人。有許多 以色列 人歸降 亞撒 ，因見耶和華－他的上帝與他同在。
9And he assembled all Judah and Benjamin, along with those from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who had settled among them, for great numbers had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
10亞撒 十五年三月，他們都聚集在 耶路撒冷 。
10So they gathered together in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign.
11當日他們從所取的擄物中，將牛七百隻、羊七千隻獻給耶和華。
11At that time they sacrificed to the LORD seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep from all the plunder they had brought back.
12他們就立約，要盡心盡性地尋求耶和華－他們列祖的上帝。
12Then they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul.
13凡不尋求耶和華－ 以色列 上帝的，無論大小、男女，必被治死。
13And whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
14他們就大聲歡呼，吹號吹角，向耶和華起誓。
14They took an oath to the LORD with a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and rams’ horns.
15猶大 眾人為所起的誓歡喜；因他們是盡心起誓，盡意尋求耶和華，耶和華就被他們尋見，且賜他們四境平安。
15And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for they had sworn it with all their heart. They had sought Him earnestly, and He was found by them. So the LORD gave them rest on every side.
16亞撒 王貶了他祖母 瑪迦 太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像 亞舍拉 。 亞撒 砍下她的偶像，搗得粉碎，燒在 汲淪溪 邊。
16King Asa also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
17只是邱壇還沒有從 以色列 中廢去，然而 亞撒 的心一生誠實。
17The high places were not removed from Israel, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted all his days.
18亞撒 將他父所分別為聖、與自己所分別為聖的金銀和器皿都奉到上帝的殿裏。
18And he brought into the house of God the silver and gold articles that he and his father had dedicated.
19從這時直到 亞撒 三十五年，都沒有爭戰的事。
19And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
