2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. And unlike David his father, he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD.
亚哈斯登基的时候年二十岁，在耶路撒冷作王十六年；不像他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事，
2 Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel and even made cast images of the Baals.
却行以色列诸王的道，又铸造巴力的像，
3 Moreover, Ahaz burned incense in the Valley of Hinnom and sacrificed his sons in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations that the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
并且在欣嫩子谷烧香，用火焚烧他的儿女，行耶和华在以色列人面前所驱逐的外邦人那可憎的事；
4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.
并在邱坛上、山冈上、各青翠树下献祭烧香。
5 So the LORD his God delivered Ahaz into the hand of the king of Aram, who attacked him and took many captives to Damascus. Ahaz was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with great force.
所以，耶和华—他的 神将他交在亚兰王手里。亚兰王打败他，掳了他许多的民，带到大马士革去。 神又将他交在以色列王手里，以色列王向他大行杀戮。
6 For in one day Pekah son of Remaliah killed 120,000 valiant men in Judah. This happened because they had forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers.
利玛利的儿子比加一日杀了犹大人十二万，都是勇士，因为他们离弃了耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
7 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the son of the king, Azrikam the governor of the palace, and Elkanah the second to the king.
有一个以法莲中的勇士，名叫细基利，杀了王的儿子玛西雅和管理王宫的押斯利甘，并宰相以利加拿。
8 Then the Israelites took 200,000 captives from their kinsmen—women, sons, and daughters. They also carried off a great deal of plunder and brought it to Samaria.
以色列人掳了他们的弟兄，连妇人带儿女共有二十万，又掠了许多的财物，带到撒马利亚去了。
9 But a prophet of the LORD named Oded was there, and he went out to meet the army that returned to Samaria. “Look,” he said to them, “because of His wrath against Judah, the LORD, the God of your fathers, has delivered them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reaches up to heaven.
但那里有耶和华的一个先知，名叫俄德，出来迎接往撒马利亚去的军兵，对他们说：“因为耶和华—你们列祖的 神恼怒犹大人，所以将他们交在你们手里，你们竟怒气冲天，大行杀戮。
10 And now you intend to reduce to slavery the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem. But are you not also guilty before the LORD your God?
如今你们又有意强逼犹大人和耶路撒冷人作你们的奴婢，你们岂不也有得罪耶和华—你们 神的事吗？
11 Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives you took from your kinsmen, for the fierce anger of the LORD is upon you.”
现在你们当听我说，要将掳来的弟兄释放回去，因为耶和华向你们已经大发烈怒。”
12 Then some of the leaders of the Ephraimites —Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai—stood in opposition to those arriving from the war.
于是，以法莲人的几个族长—就是约哈难的儿子亚撒利雅、米实利末的儿子比利家、沙龙的儿子耶希西家、哈得莱的儿子亚玛撒—起来拦挡出兵回来的人，
13 “You must not bring the captives here,” they said, “for you are proposing to bring guilt upon us from the LORD and to add to our sins and our guilt. For our guilt is great, and fierce anger is upon Israel.”
对他们说：“你们不可带进这被掳的人来！你们想要使我们得罪耶和华，加增我们的罪恶过犯？因为我们的罪过甚大，已经有烈怒临到以色列人了。”
14 So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
于是带兵器的人将掳来的人口和掠来的财物都留在众首领和会众的面前。
15 Then the men who were designated by name arose, took charge of the captives, and provided from the plunder clothing for the naked. They clothed them, gave them sandals and food and drink, anointed their wounds, and put all the feeble on donkeys. So they brought them to Jericho, the City of Palms, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
以上提名的那些人就站起，使被掳的人前来；其中有赤身的，就从所掠的财物中拿出衣服和鞋来，给他们穿，又给他们吃喝，用膏抹他们；其中有软弱的，就使他们骑驴，送到棕树城耶利哥他们弟兄那里；随后就回撒马利亚去了。
16 At that time King Ahaz sent for help from the king of Assyria.
那时，亚哈斯王差遣人去见亚述诸王，求他们帮助；
17 The Edomites had again come and attacked Judah and carried away captives.
因为以东人又来攻击犹大，掳掠子民。
18 The Philistines had also raided the cities of the foothills and the Negev of Judah, capturing and occupying Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, and Gederoth, as well as Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo with their villages.
非利士人也来侵占高原和犹大南方的城邑，取了伯·示麦、亚雅 、基低罗，梭哥和属梭哥的乡村，亭纳和属亭纳的乡村，瑾锁和属瑾锁的乡村，就住在那里。
19 For the LORD humbled Judah because Ahaz king of Israel had thrown off restraint in Judah and had been most unfaithful to the LORD.
因为以色列王亚哈斯在犹大放肆，大大干犯耶和华，所以耶和华使犹大卑微。
20 Then Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria came to Ahaz but afflicted him rather than strengthening him.
亚述王提革拉·毗列色上来，却没有帮助他，反倒欺凌他。
21 Although Ahaz had taken a portion from the house of the LORD, from the royal palace, and from the princes and had presented it to the king of Assyria, it did not help him.
亚哈斯从耶和华殿里和王宫中，并首领家内所取的财宝给了亚述王，这也无济于事。
22 In the time of his distress, King Ahaz became even more unfaithful to the LORD.
这亚哈斯王在急难的时候，越发得罪耶和华。
23 Since Damascus had defeated him, he sacrificed to their gods and said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram have helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me.” But these gods were the downfall of Ahaz and of all Israel.
他祭祀攻击他的大马士革之神，说：“因为亚兰王的神帮助他们，我也献祭与他，他好帮助我。”但那些神使他和以色列众人败亡了。
24 Then Ahaz gathered up the articles of the house of God, cut them into pieces, shut the doors of the house of the LORD, and set up altars of his own on every street corner in Jerusalem.
亚哈斯将 神殿里的器皿都聚了来，毁坏了，且封锁耶和华殿的门；在耶路撒冷各处的拐角建筑祭坛，
25 In every city of Judah he built high places to offer incense to other gods, and so he provoked the LORD, the God of his fathers.
又在犹大各城建立邱坛，与别神烧香，惹动耶和华—他列祖 神的怒气。
26 As for the rest of the acts of Ahaz and all his ways, from beginning to end, they are indeed written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
亚哈斯其余的事和他的行为，自始至终都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上。
27 And Ahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in the city of Jerusalem, but he was not placed in the tombs of the kings of Israel. And his son Hezekiah reigned in his place.
亚哈斯与他列祖同睡，葬在耶路撒冷城里，没有送入以色列诸王的坟墓中。他儿子希西家接续他作王。
