JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1上帝的靈感動 俄德 的兒子 亞撒利雅 。
1And the spirit of God came upon Azariah the 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。
2and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him: 'Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you, while ye are with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye 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；
3Now for long seasons Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without 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 when in their distress they turned unto the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found of them.
5那時，出入的人不得平安，列國的居民都遭大亂；
5And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great discomfitures were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.
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。
6And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did discomfit them with all manner 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 be ye strong, and let not your hands be slack; for your work shall 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；
8And when Asa heard these words, even the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the detestable things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
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 gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, 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 themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
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。
11And they sacrificed unto the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
12他們就立約，要盡心盡性地尋求耶和華－他們列祖的上帝。
12And they entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their 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 that whosoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
14他們就大聲歡呼，吹號吹角，向耶和華起誓。
14And they swore unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with 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 at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought Him with their whole desire; and He was found of them; and the LORD gave them rest round about.
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。
16And also Maacah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
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。
17But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was whole 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 things that his father had hallowed, and that he himself had hallowed, silver, and gold, and vessels.
19從這時直到 亞撒 三十五年，都沒有爭戰的事。
19And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
