Berean Standard Bible
1王差遣人招聚 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 的眾長老來。
1Then the king summoned all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
2王和 猶大 眾人與 耶路撒冷 的居民，並祭司、先知，和所有的百姓，無論大小，都一同上到耶和華的殿；王就把耶和華殿裏所得的約書念給他們聽。
2And he went up to the house of the LORD with all the people of Judah and Jerusalem, as well as the priests and the prophets—all the people small and great—and in their hearing he read all the words of the Book of the Covenant that had been found in the house of the LORD.
3王站在柱旁，在耶和華面前立約，要盡心盡性地順從耶和華，遵守他的誡命、法度、律例，成就這書上所記的約言。眾民都服從這約。
3So the king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to follow the LORD and to keep His commandments, decrees, and statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to carry out the words of this covenant that were written in this book. And all the people entered into the covenant.
4王吩咐大祭司 希勒家 和副祭司，並把門的，將那為 巴力 和 亞舍拉 ，並天上萬象所造的器皿，都從耶和華殿裏搬出來，在 耶路撒冷 外 汲淪溪 旁的田間燒了，把灰拿到 伯特利 去。
4Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests second in rank, and the doorkeepers to remove from the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. And he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron and carried their ashes to Bethel.
5從前 猶大 列王所立拜偶像的祭司，在 猶大 城邑的邱壇和 耶路撒冷 的周圍燒香，現在王都廢去，又廢去向 巴力 和日、月、行星，並天上萬象燒香的人；
5Josiah also did away with the idolatrous priests ordained by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the cities of Judah and in the places all around Jerusalem—those who had burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.
6又從耶和華殿裏將 亞舍拉 搬到 耶路撒冷 外 汲淪溪 邊焚燒，打碎成灰，將灰撒在平民的墳上；
6He brought the Asherah pole from the house of the LORD to the Kidron Valley outside Jerusalem, and there he burned it, ground it to powder, and threw its dust on the graves of the common people.
7又拆毀耶和華殿裏孌童的屋子，就是婦女為 亞舍拉 織帳子的屋子，
7He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the house of the LORD, where the women had woven tapestries for Asherah.
8並且從 猶大 的城邑帶眾祭司來，污穢祭司燒香的邱壇，從 迦巴 直到 別是巴 ，又拆毀城門旁的邱壇，這邱壇在邑宰 約書亞 門前，進城門的左邊。
8Then Josiah brought all the priests from the cities of Judah and desecrated the high places, from Geba to Beersheba, where the priests had burned incense. He tore down the high places of the gates at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which was to the left of the city gate.
9但是邱壇的祭司不登 耶路撒冷 耶和華的壇，只在他們弟兄中間吃無酵餅。
9Although the priests of the high places did not come up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, they ate unleavened bread with their fellow priests.
10又污穢 欣嫩子谷 的 陀斐特 ，不許人在那裏使兒女經火獻給 摩洛 ；
10He also desecrated Topheth in the Valley of Ben-hinnom so that no one could sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to Molech.
11又將 猶大 列王在耶和華殿門旁、太監 拿單‧米勒 靠近遊廊的屋子、向日頭所獻的馬廢去，且用火焚燒日車。
11And he removed from the entrance to the house of the LORD the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court near the chamber of an official named Nathan-melech. And Josiah burned up the chariots of the sun.
12猶大 列王在 亞哈斯 樓頂上所築的壇和 瑪拿西 在耶和華殿兩院中所築的壇，王都拆毀打碎了，就把灰倒在 汲淪溪 中。
12He pulled down the altars that the kings of Judah had set up on the roof near the upper chamber of Ahaz, and the altars that Manasseh had set up in the two courtyards of the house of the LORD. The king pulverized them there and threw their dust into the Kidron Valley.
13從前 以色列 王 所羅門 在 耶路撒冷 前、邪僻山右邊為 西頓 人可憎的神 亞斯她錄 、 摩押 人可憎的神 基抹 、 亞捫 人可憎的神 米勒公 所築的邱壇，王都污穢了，
13The king also desecrated the high places east of Jerusalem, to the south of the Mount of Corruption, which King Solomon of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
14又打碎柱像，砍下木偶，將人的骨頭充滿了那地方。
14He smashed the sacred pillars to pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, and covered the sites with human bones.
15他將 伯特利 的壇，就是叫 以色列 人陷在罪裏、 尼八 的兒子 耶羅波安 所築的那壇，都拆毀焚燒，打碎成灰，並焚燒了 亞舍拉 。
15He even pulled down the altar at Bethel, the high place set up by Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin. Then he burned the high place, ground it to powder, and burned the Asherah pole.
16約西亞 回頭，看見山上的墳墓，就打發人將墳墓裏的骸骨取出來，燒在壇上，污穢了壇，正如從前神人宣傳耶和華的話。
16And as Josiah turned, he saw the tombs there on the hillside, and he sent someone to take the bones out of the tombs, and he burned them on the altar to defile it, according to the word of the LORD proclaimed by the man of God who had foretold these things.
17約西亞 問說：「我所看見的是甚麼碑？」那城裏的人回答說：「先前有神人從 猶大 來，預先說王現在向 伯特利 壇所行的事，這就是他的墓碑。」
17Then the king asked, “What is this monument I see?” And the men of the city replied, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and pronounced these things that you have done to the altar of Bethel.”
18約西亞 說：「由他吧！不要挪移他的骸骨。」他們就不動他的骸骨，也不動從 撒馬利亞 來那先知的骸骨。
18“Let him rest,” said Josiah. “Do not let anyone disturb his bones.” So they left his bones undisturbed, along with those of the prophet who had come from Samaria.
19從前 以色列 諸王在 撒馬利亞 的城邑建築邱壇的殿，惹動 耶和華 的怒氣，現在 約西亞 都廢去了，就如他在 伯特利 所行的一般；
19Just as Josiah had done at Bethel, so also in the cities of Samaria he removed all the shrines of the high places set up by the kings of Israel who had provoked the LORD to anger.
20又將邱壇的祭司都殺在壇上，並在壇上燒人的骨頭，就回 耶路撒冷 去了。
20On the altars he slaughtered all the priests of the high places, and he burned human bones on them. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
21王吩咐眾民說：「你們當照這約書上所寫的，向耶和華－你們的上帝守逾越節。」
21The king commanded all the people, “Keep the Passover of the LORD your God, as it is written in this Book of the Covenant.”
22自從士師治理 以色列 人和 以色列 王、 猶大 王的時候， 直到如今 ，實在沒有守過這樣的逾越節；
22No such Passover had been observed from the days of the judges who had governed Israel through all the days of the kings of Israel and Judah.
23只有 約西亞 王十八年在 耶路撒冷 向耶和華守這逾越節。
23But in the eighteenth year of Josiah’s reign, this Passover was observed to the LORD in Jerusalem.
24凡 猶大 國和 耶路撒冷 所有交鬼的、行巫術的，與家中的神像和偶像，並一切可憎之物， 約西亞 盡都除掉，成就了祭司 希勒家 在耶和華殿裏所得律法書上所寫的話。
24Furthermore, Josiah removed the mediums and spiritists, the household gods and idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem. He did this to carry out the words of the law written in the book that Hilkiah the priest had found in the house of the LORD.
25在 約西亞 以前沒有王像他盡心、盡性、盡力地歸向耶和華，遵行 摩西 的一切律法；在他以後也沒有興起一個王像他。
25Neither before nor after Josiah was there any king like him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his strength, according to all the Law of Moses.
26然而，耶和華向 猶大 所發猛烈的怒氣仍不止息，是因 瑪拿西 諸事惹動他。
26Nevertheless, the LORD did not turn away from the fury of His burning anger, which was kindled against Judah because of all that Manasseh had done to provoke Him to anger.
27耶和華說：「我必將 猶大 人從我面前趕出，如同趕出 以色列 人一般；我必棄掉我從前所選擇的這城－ 耶路撒冷 和我所說立我名的殿。」
27For the LORD had said, “I will remove Judah from My sight, just as I removed Israel. I will reject this city Jerusalem, which I chose, and the temple of which I said, ‘My Name shall be there.’”
28約西亞 其餘的事，凡他所行的都寫在 猶大 列王記上。
28As for the rest of the acts of Josiah, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
29約西亞 年間， 埃及 王法老 尼哥 上到 幼發拉底河 攻擊 亞述 王； 約西亞 王去抵擋他。 埃及 王遇見 約西亞 在 米吉多 ，就殺了他。
29At the end of Josiah’s reign, Pharaoh Neco king of Egypt marched up to help the king of Assyria at the Euphrates River. King Josiah went out to confront him, but Neco faced him and killed him at Megiddo.
30他的臣僕用車將他的屍首從 米吉多 送到 耶路撒冷 ，葬在他自己的墳墓裏。國民膏 約西亞 的兒子 約哈斯 接續他父親作王。
30From Megiddo his servants carried his body in a chariot, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz son of Josiah, anointed him, and made him king in place of his father.
31約哈斯 登基的時候年二十三歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王三個月。他母親名叫 哈慕她 ，是 立拿 人 耶利米 的女兒。
31Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. His mother’s name was Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah; she was from Libnah.
32約哈斯 行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他列祖一切所行的。
32And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
33法老 尼哥 將 約哈斯 鎖禁在 哈馬 地的 利比拉 ，不許他在 耶路撒冷 作王，又罰 猶大 國銀子一百他連得，金子一他連得。
33And Pharaoh Neco imprisoned Jehoahaz at Riblah in the land of Hamath so that he could not reign in Jerusalem, and he imposed on Judah a levy of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
34法老 尼哥 立 約西亞 的兒子 以利亞敬 接續他父親 約西亞 作王，給他改名叫 約雅敬 ，卻將 約哈斯 帶到 埃及 ，他就死在那裏。
34Then Pharaoh Neco made Eliakim son of Josiah king in place of his father Josiah, and he changed Eliakim’s name to Jehoiakim. But Neco took Jehoahaz and carried him off to Egypt, where he died.
35約雅敬 將金銀給法老，遵着法老的命向國民徵取金銀，按着各人的力量派定，索要金銀，好給法老 尼哥 。
35So Jehoiakim paid the silver and gold to Pharaoh Neco, but to meet Pharaoh’s demand he taxed the land and exacted the silver and the gold from the people, each according to his wealth.
36約雅敬 登基的時候年二十五歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王十一年。他母親名叫 西布大 ，是 魯瑪 人 毗大雅 的女兒。
36Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eleven years. His mother’s name was Zebidah daughter of Pedaiah; she was from Rumah.
37約雅敬 行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他列祖一切所行的。
37And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, just as his fathers had done.
