2 Chronicles 15
1 And the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
神的灵感动俄德的儿子亚撒利雅。
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear you me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while you be with him; and if you seek him, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
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；你们若寻求他，就必寻见；你们若离弃他，他必离弃你们。
3 Now for a long season Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
以色列人不信真神，没有训诲的祭司，也没有律法，已经好久了；
4 But when they in their trouble did turn to the LORD God of Israel, and sought him, he was found of them.
但他们在急难的时候归向耶和华—以色列的 神，寻求他，他就被他们寻见。
5 And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexations were on all the inhabitants of the countries.
那时，出入的人不得平安，列国的居民都遭大乱；
6 And nation was destroyed of nation, and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity.
这国攻击那国，这城攻击那城，互相破坏，因为 神用各样灾难扰乱他们。
7 Be you strong therefore, and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded.
现在你们要刚强，不要手软，因你们所行的必得赏赐。”
8 And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.
亚撒听见这话和俄德儿子先知亚撒利雅的预言，就壮起胆来，在犹大、便雅悯全地，并以法莲山地所夺的各城，将可憎之物尽都除掉，又在耶和华殿的廊前重新修筑耶和华的坛；
9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
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。
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
亚撒十五年三月，他们都聚集在耶路撒冷。
11 And they offered to the LORD the same time, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.
当日他们从所取的掳物中，将牛七百只、羊七千只献给耶和华。
12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
他们就立约，要尽心尽性地寻求耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
13 That whoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
凡不寻求耶和华—以色列 神的，无论大小、男女，必被治死。
14 And they swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
他们就大声欢呼，吹号吹角，向耶和华起誓。
15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about.
犹大众人为所起的誓欢喜；因他们是尽心起誓，尽意寻求耶和华，耶和华就被他们寻见，且赐他们四境平安。
16 And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.
亚撒王贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉。亚撒砍下她的偶像，捣得粉碎，烧在汲沦溪边。
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
只是邱坛还没有从以色列中废去，然而亚撒的心一生诚实。
18 And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
亚撒将他父所分别为圣、与自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿都奉到 神的殿里。
19 And there was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
从这时直到亚撒三十五年，都没有争战的事。
