Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The king sent, and they gathered to him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.
1王差遣人招聚 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 的眾長老來。
2The king went up to the LORD’s house, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him—with the priests, the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the LORD’s house.
2王和 猶大 眾人與 耶路撒冷 的居民，並祭司、先知，和所有的百姓，無論大小，都一同上到耶和華的殿；王就把耶和華殿裏所得的約書念給他們聽。
3The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the LORD to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments, his testimonies, and his statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people agreed to the covenant.
3王站在柱旁，在耶和華面前立約，要盡心盡性地順從耶和華，遵守他的誡命、法度、律例，成就這書上所記的約言。眾民都服從這約。
4The king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out of the LORD’s temple all the vessels that were made for Baal, for the Asherah, and for all the army of the sky; and he burned them outside of Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel.
4王吩咐大祭司 希勒家 和副祭司，並把門的，將那為 巴力 和 亞舍拉 ，並天上萬象所造的器皿，都從耶和華殿裏搬出來，在 耶路撒冷 外 汲淪溪 旁的田間燒了，把灰拿到 伯特利 去。
5He got rid of the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the places around Jerusalem; those also who burned incense to Baal, to the sun, to the moon, to the planets, and to all the army of the sky.
5從前 猶大 列王所立拜偶像的祭司，在 猶大 城邑的邱壇和 耶路撒冷 的周圍燒香，現在王都廢去，又廢去向 巴力 和日、月、行星，並天上萬象燒香的人；
6He brought out the Asherah from the LORD’s house, outside of Jerusalem, to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and beat it to dust, and cast its dust on the graves of the common people.
6又從耶和華殿裏將 亞舍拉 搬到 耶路撒冷 外 汲淪溪 邊焚燒，打碎成灰，將灰撒在平民的墳上；
7He broke down the houses of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the LORD’s house, where the women wove hangings for the Asherah.
7又拆毀耶和華殿裏孌童的屋子，就是婦女為 亞舍拉 織帳子的屋子，
8He brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had burned incense, from Geba to Beersheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man’s left hand at the gate of the city.
8並且從 猶大 的城邑帶眾祭司來，污穢祭司燒香的邱壇，從 迦巴 直到 別是巴 ，又拆毀城門旁的邱壇，這邱壇在邑宰 約書亞 門前，進城門的左邊。
9Nevertheless the priests of the high places didn’t come up to the LORD’s altar in Jerusalem, but they ate unleavened bread among their brothers.
9但是邱壇的祭司不登 耶路撒冷 耶和華的壇，只在他們弟兄中間吃無酵餅。
10He defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the children of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.
10又污穢 欣嫩子谷 的 陀斐特 ，不許人在那裏使兒女經火獻給 摩洛 ；
11He took away the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun, at the entrance of the LORD’s house, by the room of Nathan Melech the officer who was in the court; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
11又將 猶大 列王在耶和華殿門旁、太監 拿單‧米勒 靠近遊廊的屋子、向日頭所獻的馬廢去，且用火焚燒日車。
12The king broke down the altars that were on the roof of the upper room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the LORD’s house, and beat them down from there, and cast their dust into the brook Kidron.
12猶大 列王在 亞哈斯 樓頂上所築的壇和 瑪拿西 在耶和華殿兩院中所築的壇，王都拆毀打碎了，就把灰倒在 汲淪溪 中。
13The king defiled the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mountain of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had built for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Sidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon.
13從前 以色列 王 所羅門 在 耶路撒冷 前、邪僻山右邊為 西頓 人可憎的神 亞斯她錄 、 摩押 人可憎的神 基抹 、 亞捫 人可憎的神 米勒公 所築的邱壇，王都污穢了，
14He broke in pieces the pillars, cut down the Asherah poles, and filled their places with men’s bones.
14又打碎柱像，砍下木偶，將人的骨頭充滿了那地方。
15Moreover the altar that was at Bethel and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and beat it to dust, and burned the Asherah.
15他將 伯特利 的壇，就是叫 以色列 人陷在罪裏、 尼八 的兒子 耶羅波安 所築的那壇，都拆毀焚燒，打碎成灰，並焚燒了 亞舍拉 。
16As Josiah turned himself, he spied the tombs that were there in the mountain; and he sent, and took the bones out of the tombs, and burned them on the altar, and defiled it, according to the LORD’s word which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.
16約西亞 回頭，看見山上的墳墓，就打發人將墳墓裏的骸骨取出來，燒在壇上，污穢了壇，正如從前神人宣傳耶和華的話。
17Then he said, “What monument is that which I see?” The men of the city told him, “It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things that you have done against the altar of Bethel.”
17約西亞 問說：「我所看見的是甚麼碑？」那城裏的人回答說：「先前有神人從 猶大 來，預先說王現在向 伯特利 壇所行的事，這就是他的墓碑。」
18He said, “Let him be! Let no one move his bones.” So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.
18約西亞 說：「由他吧！不要挪移他的骸骨。」他們就不動他的骸骨，也不動從 撒馬利亞 來那先知的骸骨。
19All the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
19從前 以色列 諸王在 撒馬利亞 的城邑建築邱壇的殿，惹動 耶和華 的怒氣，現在 約西亞 都廢去了，就如他在 伯特利 所行的一般；
20He killed all the priests of the high places that were there, on the altars, and burned men’s bones on them; and he returned to Jerusalem.
20又將邱壇的祭司都殺在壇上，並在壇上燒人的骨頭，就回 耶路撒冷 去了。
21The king commanded all the people, saying, “Keep the Passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.”
21王吩咐眾民說：「你們當照這約書上所寫的，向耶和華－你們的上帝守逾越節。」
22Surely there was not kept such a Passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;
22自從士師治理 以色列 人和 以色列 王、 猶大 王的時候， 直到如今 ，實在沒有守過這樣的逾越節；
23but in the eighteenth year of King Josiah, this Passover was kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.
23只有 約西亞 王十八年在 耶路撒冷 向耶和華守這逾越節。
24Moreover, Josiah removed those who had familiar spirits, the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the LORD’s house.
24凡 猶大 國和 耶路撒冷 所有交鬼的、行巫術的，與家中的神像和偶像，並一切可憎之物， 約西亞 盡都除掉，成就了祭司 希勒家 在耶和華殿裏所得律法書上所寫的話。
25There was no king like him before him, who turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; and there was none like him who arose after him.
25在 約西亞 以前沒有王像他盡心、盡性、盡力地歸向耶和華，遵行 摩西 的一切律法；在他以後也沒有興起一個王像他。
26Notwithstanding, the LORD didn’t turn from the fierceness of his great wrath, with which his anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocation with which Manasseh had provoked him.
26然而，耶和華向 猶大 所發猛烈的怒氣仍不止息，是因 瑪拿西 諸事惹動他。
27The LORD said, “I will also remove Judah out of my sight, as I have removed Israel; and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, ‘My name shall be there.’”
27耶和華說：「我必將 猶大 人從我面前趕出，如同趕出 以色列 人一般；我必棄掉我從前所選擇的這城－ 耶路撒冷 和我所說立我名的殿。」
28Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
28約西亞 其餘的事，凡他所行的都寫在 猶大 列王記上。
29In his days Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and King Josiah went against him, but Pharaoh Necoh killed him at Megiddo when he saw him.
29約西亞 年間， 埃及 王法老 尼哥 上到 幼發拉底河 攻擊 亞述 王； 約西亞 王去抵擋他。 埃及 王遇見 約西亞 在 米吉多 ，就殺了他。
30His servants carried him dead in a chariot from Megiddo, brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own tomb. The people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father’s place.
30他的臣僕用車將他的屍首從 米吉多 送到 耶路撒冷 ，葬在他自己的墳墓裏。國民膏 約西亞 的兒子 約哈斯 接續他父親作王。
31Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.
31約哈斯 登基的時候年二十三歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王三個月。他母親名叫 哈慕她 ，是 立拿 人 耶利米 的女兒。
32He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
32約哈斯 行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他列祖一切所行的。
33Pharaoh Necoh put him in bonds at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a tribute of one hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.
33法老 尼哥 將 約哈斯 鎖禁在 哈馬 地的 利比拉 ，不許他在 耶路撒冷 作王，又罰 猶大 國銀子一百他連得，金子一他連得。
34Pharaoh Necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the place of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away, and he came to Egypt and died there.
34法老 尼哥 立 約西亞 的兒子 以利亞敬 接續他父親 約西亞 作王，給他改名叫 約雅敬 ，卻將 約哈斯 帶到 埃及 ，他就死在那裏。
35Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh. He exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, from everyone according to his assessment, to give it to Pharaoh Necoh.
35約雅敬 將金銀給法老，遵着法老的命向國民徵取金銀，按着各人的力量派定，索要金銀，好給法老 尼哥 。
36Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zebidah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.
36約雅敬 登基的時候年二十五歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王十一年。他母親名叫 西布大 ，是 魯瑪 人 毗大雅 的女兒。
37He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, according to all that his fathers had done.
37約雅敬 行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他列祖一切所行的。
