Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And Abia slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead: in his days the land was quiet ten years.
1亞比雅 與他列祖同睡，葬在 大衛城 裏。他兒子 亞撒 接續他作王。 亞撒 年間，國中太平十年。
2And Asa did that which was good and pleasing in the sight of his God, and he destroyed the altars of foreign worship, and the high places.
2亞撒 行耶和華－他上帝眼中看為善為正的事，
3And broke the statues, and cut down the groves.
3除掉外邦神的壇和邱壇，打碎柱像，砍下木偶，
4And he commanded Juda to seek the Lord the God of their fathers, and to do the law, and all the commandments.
4吩咐 猶大 人尋求耶和華－他們列祖的上帝，遵行他的律法、誡命；
5And he took away out of all the cities of Juda the altars, and temples, and reigned in peace.
5又在 猶大 各城邑除掉邱壇和日像，那時國享太平；
6He built also strong cities in Juda, for he was quiet, and there had no wars risen in his time, the Lord giving peace.
6又在 猶大 建造了幾座堅固城。國中太平數年，沒有戰爭，因為耶和華賜他平安。
7And he said to Juda: Let us build these cities, and compass them with walls, and fortify them with towers, and gates, and bars, while all is quiet from wars, because we have sought the Lord the God of our fathers, and he hath given us peace round about. So they built, and there was no hinderance in building.
7他對 猶大 人說：「我們要建造這些城邑，四圍築牆，蓋樓，安門，做閂；地還屬我們，是因尋求耶和華－我們的上帝；我們既尋求他，他就賜我們四境平安。」於是建造城邑，諸事亨通。
8And Asa had in his army of men that bore shields and spears of Juda three hundred thousand, and of Benjamin that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and eighty thousand, all these were most valiant men.
8亞撒 的軍兵，出自 猶大 拿盾牌拿槍的三十萬人；出自 便雅憫 拿盾牌拉弓的二十八萬人。這都是大能的勇士。
9And Zara the Ethiopian came out against them with his army of ten hundred thousand men, and with three hundred chariots: and he came as far as Maresa.
9有 古實 王 謝拉 率領軍兵一百萬，戰車三百輛，出來攻擊 猶大 人，到了 瑪利沙 。
10And Asa went out to meet him, and set his army in array for battle in the vale of Sephata, which is near Maresa:
10於是 亞撒 出去與他迎敵，就在 瑪利沙 的 洗法谷 彼此擺陣。
11And he called upon the Lord God, and said: O Lord, there is no difference with thee, whether thou help with few, or with many: help us, O Lord our God: for with confidence in thee, and in thy name, we are come against this multitude. O Lord thou art our God, let not man prevail against thee.
11亞撒 呼求耶和華－他的上帝說：「耶和華啊，惟有你能幫助軟弱的，勝過強盛的。耶和華－我們的上帝啊，求你幫助我們；因為我們仰賴你，奉你的名來攻擊這大軍。耶和華啊，你是我們的上帝，不要容人勝過你。」
12And the Lord terrified the Ethiopians before Asa and Juda: and the Ethiopians fled.
12於是耶和華使 古實 人敗在 亞撒 和 猶大 人面前， 古實 人就逃跑了；
13And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them to Gerara: and the Ethiopians fell even to utter destruction, for the Lord slew them, and his army fought against them, and they were destroyed. And they took abundance of spoils,
13亞撒 和跟隨他的軍兵追趕他們，直到 基拉耳 。 古實 人被殺的甚多，不能再強盛，因為敗在耶和華與他軍兵面前。 猶大 人就奪了許多財物，
14And they took all the cities round about Gerara: for a great fear was come upon all men: and they pillaged the cities, and carried off much booty.
14又打破 基拉耳 四圍的城邑；耶和華使其中的人都甚恐懼。 猶大 人又將所有的城擄掠一空，因其中的財物甚多，
15And they destroyed the sheepcotes, and took an infinite number of cattle, and of camels: and returned to Jerusalem.
15又毀壞了群畜的圈，奪取許多的羊和駱駝，就回 耶路撒冷 去了。
