1And in the six and thirtieth year of his kingdom, Baasa the king of Israel came up against Juda, and built a wall about Rama, that no one might safely go out or come in of the kingdom of Asa.
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。
2Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s treasures, and sent to Benadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
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：
3There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father, wherefore I have sent thee silver and gold, that thou mayst break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, and make him depart from me.
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。」
4And then Benadad heard this, he sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel: and they took Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Nephtali.
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。
5And when Baasa heard of it, he left off the building of Rama, and interrupted his work.
5巴沙 聽見就停工，不修築 拉瑪 了。
6Then king Asa took all Juda, and they carried away from Rama the stones, and the timber that Baasa had prepared for the building: and he built with them Gabaa, and Maspha.
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 。
7At that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa king of Juda, and said to him: Because thou hast had confidence in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord thy God, therefore hath the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.
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。
8Were not the Ethiopians, and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceeding great multitude: yet because thou trustedst in the Lord, he delivered them into 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。
9For the eyes of the Lord behold all the earth, and give strength to those who with a perfect heart trust in him. Wherefore thou hast done foolishly, and for this cause from this time wars shall arise against thee.
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。」
10And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time.
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。
11But the works of Asa the first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
11亞撒 所行的事，自始至終都寫在 猶大 和 以色列 諸王記上。
12And Asa fell sick in the nine and thirtieth year of his reign, of a most violent pain in his feet, and yet in his illness he did not seek the Lord, but rather trusted in the skill of physicians.
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。
13And he slept with his fathers: and he died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
13他作王四十一年而死，與他列祖同睡，
14And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had made for himself in the city of David: and they laid him on his bed full of spices and odoriferous ointments, which were made by the art of the perfumers, and they burnt them over him with very great pomp.
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。
