历代志下-2 Chronicles 第 15 章

15:1神的灵临到俄德的儿子亚撒利雅。
And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
15:2他出来迎接亚撒,对他说,亚撒和犹大、便雅悯众人哪,要听我说,你们若顺从耶和华,耶和华必与你们同在;你们若寻求祂,祂必被你们寻见;你们若离弃祂,祂必离弃你们。
And he went out to meet Asa and said to him, Hear me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: Jehovah is with you while you are with Him; and if you pursue Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.
15:3以色列没有真神,没有训诲的祭司,也没有律法,已经许久了;
Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God and without a teaching priest and without law.
15:4但他们在急难的时候归向耶和华以色列的神,寻求祂,祂就被他们寻见。
But in their distress they turned to Jehovah the God of Israel and sought Him, and He was found by them.
15:5那时,出入的人不得平安,各地的居民都遭大乱;
For in those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for great afflictions were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.
15:6国攻击国,城攻击城,互相损毁,因为神用各样灾难扰乱他们。
For they were crushed, nation against nation and city against city, for God afflicted them with every distress.
15:7但你们要刚强,不要手软,因你们所行的必得赏赐。
But you be strong and do not let your hands fail, for there is reward for your labor.
15:8亚撒听见这些话,就是俄德儿子申言者亚撒利雅的申言,就壮起胆来,从犹大、便雅悯全地,并以法莲山地所夺的各城,将可憎之物除掉,又把耶和华殿廊前耶和华的坛重新修筑了。
And when Asa heard these words, that is, the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he strengthened himself and put away the detestable things from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities that he had taken in the hill country of Ephraim. And he restored the altar of Jehovah, which was before the portico of Jehovah.
15:9他又招聚犹大、便雅悯的众人,并他们中间寄居的以法莲人、玛拿西人、西缅人;有许多以色列人归降亚撒,因见耶和华他的神与他同在。
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin and the sojourners with them from Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon, for many from Israel threw in their lot with him when they saw that Jehovah his God was with him.
15:10亚撒作王第十五年三月,他们都聚集在耶路撒冷。
So they gathered themselves at Jerusalem in the third month in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
15:11当日他们从所取的掠物中,将牛七百只、羊七千只,献给耶和华为祭。
And they sacrificed to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
15:12他们就立约,要全心全魂寻求耶和华他们列祖的神。
And they entered into a covenant to pursue Jehovah, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul,
15:13凡不寻求耶和华以色列神的,无论大小、男女,必被处死。
And covenanted that anyone who did not pursue Jehovah the God of Israel would be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
15:14他们就大声欢呼,吹号吹角,向耶和华起誓。
And they swore to Jehovah with a loud voice and with shouting and with trumpets and with horns.
15:15犹大众人为所起的誓欢喜,因他们是全心起誓,全然乐意寻求耶和华;耶和华就被他们寻见,并且使他们四围平静。
And all Judah rejoiced over the oath, for with all their heart they swore and with all their desire they sought Him. And He was found by them, and Jehovah gave them rest all around.
15:16亚撒王又废了他祖母玛迦太后的位,因她为亚舍拉造了可憎的像。亚撒砍下她所造可憎的像,捣得粉碎,烧在汲沦溪边。
And he also removed Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, from being queen mother because she had made for Asherah an abominable image; and Asa cut down her abominable image and crushed it to powder and burned it at the brook Kidron.
15:17但是邱坛还没有从以色列中废去;不过亚撒的心一生都纯全的向着耶和华。
But the high places were not taken away from Israel; otherwise Asa's heart was perfect all his days.
15:18亚撒将他父亲所分别为圣,与自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿,都奉到神的殿里。
And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had sanctified and that he had sanctified-silver and gold and vessels.
15:19从这时直到亚撒作王第三十五年,都没有争战的事。
And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa's reign.
