歷代志下 16
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1亞撒 三十六年， 以色列 王 巴沙 上來攻擊 猶大 ，修築 拉瑪 ，不許人從 猶大 王 亞撒 那裏出入。
1In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
2於是 亞撒 從耶和華殿和王宮的府庫裏拿出金銀來，送與住 大馬士革 的 亞蘭 王 便‧哈達 ，說：
2So Asa withdrew the silver and gold from the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and he sent it with this message to Ben-hadad king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
3「你父曾與我父立約，我與你也要立約。現在我將金銀送給你，求你廢掉你與 以色列 王 巴沙 所立的約，使他離開我。」
3“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
4便‧哈達 聽從 亞撒 王的話，派軍長去攻擊 以色列 的城邑。他們就攻破 以雲 、 但 、 亞伯‧瑪音 ，和 拿弗他利 一切的積貨城。
4And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.
5巴沙 聽見就停工，不修築 拉瑪 了。
5When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and abandoned his work.
6於是 亞撒 王率領 猶大 眾人，將 巴沙 修築 拉瑪 所用的石頭、木頭都運去，用以修築 迦巴 和 米斯巴 。
6Then King Asa brought all the men of Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials he built up Geba and Mizpah.
7那時，先見 哈拿尼 來見 猶大 王 亞撒 ，對他說：「因你仰賴 亞蘭 王，沒有仰賴耶和華－你的上帝，所以 亞蘭 王的軍兵脫離了你的手。
7At that time Hanani the seer came to King Asa of Judah and told him, “Because you have relied on the king of Aram and not on the LORD your God, the army of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
8古實 人、 路比 人的軍隊不是甚大嗎？戰車馬兵不是極多嗎？只因你仰賴耶和華，他便將他們交在你手裏。
8Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.
9耶和華的眼目遍察全地，要顯大能幫助向他心存誠實的人。你這事行得愚昧；此後，你必有爭戰的事。」
9For the eyes of the LORD roam to and fro over all the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are fully devoted to Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter. From now on, therefore, you will be at war.”
10亞撒 因此惱恨先見，將他囚在監裏。那時 亞撒 也虐待一些人民。
10Asa was angry with the seer and became so enraged over this matter that he put the man in prison. And at the same time Asa oppressed some of the people.
11亞撒 所行的事，自始至終都寫在 猶大 和 以色列 諸王記上。
11Now the rest of the acts of Asa, from beginning to end, are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
12亞撒 作王三十九年，他腳上有病，而且甚重。病的時候沒有求耶和華，只求醫生。
12In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his malady became increasingly severe. Yet even in his illness he did not seek the LORD, but only the physicians.
13他作王四十一年而死，與他列祖同睡，
13So in the forty-first year of his reign, Asa died and rested with his fathers.
14葬在 大衛城 自己所鑿的墳墓裏，放在床上，其床堆滿各樣馨香的香料，就是按做香的作法調和的香料，又為他燒了許多的物件。
14And he was buried in the tomb that he had cut out for himself in the City of David. They laid him on a bier that was full of spices and various blended perfumes; then they made a great fire in his honor.
