Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1After this, the children of Moab, the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.
1此后， 摩押 人和 亚扪 人，又有 米乌尼 人，一同来攻击 约沙法 。
2Then some came who told Jehoshaphat, saying, “A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea from Syria. Behold, they are in Hazazon Tamar” (that is, En Gedi).
2有人来报告 约沙法 说：「从海外 亚兰 那边有大军来攻击你，如今他们在 哈洗逊·他玛 ，就是 隐·基底 。」
3Jehoshaphat was alarmed, and set himself to seek the LORD. He proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.
3约沙法 便惧怕，定意寻求耶和华，在 犹大 全地宣告禁食。
4Judah gathered themselves together to seek help from the LORD. They came out of all the cities of Judah to seek the LORD.
4于是 犹大 人聚会，求耶和华 帮助 。 犹大 各城都有人出来寻求耶和华。
5Jehoshaphat stood in the assembly of Judah and Jerusalem, in the LORD’s house, before the new court;
5约沙法 就在 犹大 和 耶路撒冷 的会中，站在耶和华殿的新院前，
6and he said, “LORD, the God of our fathers, aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.
6说：「耶和华—我们列祖的 神啊，你不是天上的 神吗？你不是万邦万国的主宰吗？在你手中有大能大力，无人能抵挡你。
7Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the offspring of Abraham your friend forever?
7我们的 神啊，你不是曾在你民 以色列 人面前驱逐这地的居民，将这地赐给你朋友 亚伯拉罕 的后裔永远为业吗？
8They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying,
8他们住在这地，又为你的名建造圣所，说：
9‘If evil comes on us—the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine—we will stand before this house, and before you (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’
9『倘有祸患临到我们，或刀兵灾殃，或瘟疫饥荒，我们在急难的时候，站在这殿前向你呼求，你必垂听而拯救，因为你的名在这殿里。』
10Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned away from them, and didn’t destroy them;
10从前 以色列 人出 埃及 地的时候，你不容 以色列 人侵犯 亚扪 人、 摩押 人，和 西珥山 人， 以色列 人就离开他们，不灭绝他们。
11behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
11看哪，他们怎样报复我们，要来驱逐我们出离你的地，就是你赐给我们为业之地。
12Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no might against this great company that comes against us. We don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on you.”
12我们的 神啊，你不惩罚他们吗？因为我们无力抵挡这来攻击我们的大军，我们也不知道怎样行，我们的眼目单仰望你。」
13All Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.
13犹大 众人和他们的婴孩、妻子、儿女都站在耶和华面前。
14Then the LORD’s Spirit came on Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, the Levite, of the sons of Asaph, in the middle of the assembly;
14那时，耶和华的灵在会中临到 利未 人 亚萨 的后裔— 玛探雅 的玄孙， 耶利 的曾孙， 比拿雅 的孙子， 撒迦利雅 的儿子 雅哈悉 。
15and he said, “Listen, all Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat. The LORD says to you, ‘Don’t be afraid, and don’t be dismayed because of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
15他说：「 犹大 众人、 耶路撒冷 的居民，和 约沙法 王，你们请听。耶和华对你们如此说：『不要因这大军恐惧惊惶；因为胜败不在乎你们，乃在乎 神。
16Tomorrow, go down against them. Behold, they are coming up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, before the wilderness of Jeruel.
16明日你们要下去迎敌，他们是从 洗斯 坡上来，你们必在 耶鲁伊勒 旷野前的谷口遇见他们。
17You will not need to fight this battle. Set yourselves, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Don’t be afraid, nor be dismayed. Go out against them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’”
17犹大 和 耶路撒冷 人哪，这次你们不要争战，要摆阵站着，看耶和华为你们施行拯救。不要恐惧，也不要惊惶。明日当出去迎敌，因为耶和华与你们同在。』」
18Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before the LORD, worshiping the LORD.
18约沙法 就面伏于地， 犹大 众人和 耶路撒冷 的居民也俯伏在耶和华面前，叩拜耶和华。
19The Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, with an exceedingly loud voice.
19哥辖 族和 可拉 族的 利未 人都起来，用极大的声音赞美耶和华 以色列 的 神。
20They rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa. As they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem! Believe in the LORD your God, so you will be established! Believe his prophets, so you will prosper.”
20次日清早，众人起来往 提哥亚 的旷野去。出去的时候， 约沙法 站着说：「 犹大 人和 耶路撒冷 的居民哪，要听我说：信耶和华—你们的 神就必立稳；信他的先知就必亨通。」
21When he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed those who were to sing to the LORD and give praise in holy array as they go out before the army, and say, “Give thanks to the LORD, for his loving kindness endures forever.”
21约沙法 既与民商议了，就设立歌唱的人，颂赞耶和华，使他们穿上圣洁的礼服，走在军前赞美耶和华说：「当称谢耶和华，因他的慈爱永远长存！」
22When they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushers against the children of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were struck.
22众人方唱歌赞美的时候，耶和华就派伏兵击杀那来攻击 犹大 人的 亚扪 人、 摩押 人，和 西珥山 人，他们就被打败了。
23For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of Mount Seir to utterly kill and destroy them. When they had finished the inhabitants of Seir, everyone helped to destroy each other.
23因为 亚扪 人和 摩押 人起来，击杀住 西珥山 的人，将他们灭尽；灭尽住 西珥山 的人之后，他们又彼此自相击杀。
24When Judah came to the place overlooking the wilderness, they looked at the multitude; and behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none who escaped.
24犹大 人来到旷野的望楼，向那大军观看，见尸横遍地，没有一个逃脱的。
25When Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their plunder, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies with precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away. They took plunder for three days, it was so much.
25约沙法 和他的百姓就来收取敌人的财物，在尸首中见了许多财物、珍宝，他们剥脱下来的多得不可携带；因为甚多，直收取了三日。
26On the fourth day, they assembled themselves in Beracah Valley, for there they blessed the LORD. Therefore the name of that place was called “Beracah Valley” to this day.
26第四日众人聚集在 比拉迦谷 ，在那里称颂耶和华。因此那地方名叫 比拉迦谷 ，直到今日。
27Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat in front of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.
27犹大 人和 耶路撒冷 人都欢欢喜喜地回 耶路撒冷 ， 约沙法 率领他们；因为耶和华使他们战胜仇敌，就欢喜快乐。
28They came to Jerusalem with stringed instruments, harps, and trumpets to the LORD’s house.
28他们弹琴、鼓瑟、吹号来到 耶路撒冷 ，进了耶和华的殿。
29The fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the countries when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
29列邦诸国听见耶和华战败 以色列 的仇敌，就甚惧怕。
30So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.
30这样， 约沙法 的国得享太平，因为 神赐他四境平安。
31So Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he began to reign. He reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
31约沙法 作 犹大 王，登基的时候年三十五岁，在 耶路撒冷 作王二十五年。他母亲名叫 阿苏巴 ，乃 示利希 的女儿。
32He walked in the way of Asa his father, and didn’t turn away from it, doing that which was right in the LORD’s eyes.
32约沙法 效法他父 亚撒 所行的，不偏左右，行耶和华眼中看为正的事。
33However the high places were not taken away, and the people had still not set their hearts on the God of their fathers.
33只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓也没有立定心意归向他们列祖的 神。
34Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the history of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is included in the book of the kings of Israel.
34约沙法 其余的事，自始至终都写在 哈拿尼 的儿子 耶户 的书上，也载入 以色列 诸王记上。
35After this, Jehoshaphat king of Judah joined himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. The same did very wickedly.
35此后， 犹大 王 约沙法 与 以色列 王 亚哈谢 交好； 亚哈谢 行恶太甚。
36He joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish. They made the ships in Ezion Geber.
36二王合伙造船要往 他施 去，遂在 以旬·迦别 造船。
37Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have joined yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” The ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
37那时 玛利沙 人、 多大瓦 的儿子 以利以谢 向 约沙法 预言说：「因你与 亚哈谢 交好，耶和华必破坏你所造的。」后来那船果然破坏，不能往 他施 去了。
