1And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,
1上帝的靈感動 俄德 的兒子 亞撒利雅 。
2And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
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。
3And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law.
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；
4And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him.
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。
5At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth.
5那時，出入的人不得平安，列國的居民都遭大亂；
6For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.
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。
7Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall be a reward for your work.
7現在你們要剛強，不要手軟，因你們所行的必得賞賜。」
8And when Asa had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch of the Lord.
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；
9And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.
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。
10And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
10亞撒 十五年三月，他們都聚集在 耶路撒冷 。
11They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams.
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。
12And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul.
12他們就立約，要盡心盡性地尋求耶和華－他們列祖的上帝。
13And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman.
13凡不尋求耶和華－ 以色列 上帝的，無論大小、男女，必被治死。
14And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets,
14他們就大聲歡呼，吹號吹角，向耶和華起誓。
15All that mere in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about.
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。
16Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron.
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。
17But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
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。
18And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses.
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。
19And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.
19從這時直到 亞撒 三十五年，都沒有爭戰的事。
