JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
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 six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to 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：
2Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:
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'There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart 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 hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.
5巴沙 聽見就停工，不修築 拉瑪 了。
5And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
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 Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith 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。
7And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him: 'Because thou hast relied on the king of Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram escaped out of thy 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 Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, He delivered them into thy 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 run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is whole toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.'
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。
10Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.
11亞撒 所行的事，自始至終都寫在 猶大 和 以色列 諸王記上。
11And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are 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。
12And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
13他作王四十一年而死，與他列祖同睡，
13And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
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 they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.
