Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1In the thirty-sixth year of Asa’s reign, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
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 LORD’s house and of the king’s house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Syria, who lived at 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：
3“Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may 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。」
4Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
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。
5When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and let his work cease.
5巴沙 聽見就停工，不修築 拉瑪 了。
6Then Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones and timber of Ramah, with which Baasha had built; and he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
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 seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, “Because you have relied on the king of Syria, and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your 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。
8Weren’t the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and exceedingly many horsemen? Yet, because you relied on the LORD, he delivered them into your 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 LORD’s eyes run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. You have done foolishly in this; for from now on you will have wars.”
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。」
10Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same 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。
11Behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah 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。
12In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa was diseased in his feet. His disease was exceedingly great; yet in his disease he didn’t seek the LORD, but just the 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。
13Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
13他作王四十一年而死，與他列祖同睡，
14They buried him in his own tomb, which he had dug out for himself in David’s city, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and various kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers’ art; and they made a very great fire for him.
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。
