2 Chronicles 16
1 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel has come up against Judah, and builds Ramah, so as not to permit any going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
我我我阿撒當國第三十六年，以色列王巴厄沙來進攻猶大，在辣瑪修築工事，防止人同猶大王阿撒來往。
2 And Asa brings out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
當時阿撒拿出上主殿內和王宮府庫中的金銀，送給住在大馬士革得阿蘭王本哈達得說：
3 “A covenant [is] between me and you, and between my father and your father, behold, I have sent silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off me.”
「我與你之間，以及我父與你之間都立過約；現在我給你送來金銀作為禮品，請你廢除你與以色列王巴厄沙所立的約，使他離開我的國境。」
4 And Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has to cities of Israel, and they strike Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores, cities of Naphtali.
本哈達得聽從了阿撒王的話，即刻派軍長，去攻打以色列的城市，攻下了依雍、丹、阿貝耳瑪因和納斐塔里所有的屯貨城。
5 And it comes to pass, at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and lets his work rest;
巴厄沙一聽說這事，立即停止在辣瑪的工事。
6 and Asa the king has taken all Judah, and they carry away the stones of Ramah and its wood that Baasha has built [with], and he builds Geba and Mizpah with them.
阿撒王遂徵調全猶大人，將巴厄沙修築辣瑪所用的石頭和木材運走，用來修築革巴和米茲帕。[先見者哈納尼的斥責]
7 And at that time Hanani the seer has come to Asa king of Judah and says to him, “Because of your leaning on the king of Aram, and you have not leaned on your God YHWH, therefore the force of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
那時，先見者哈納尼來見猶大王阿撒，對他說：「因為你依靠了阿蘭，而沒有依靠上主你的天主，因此阿蘭王的軍隊脫離了你。
8 Did the Cushim and the Lubim not become a very great force for multitude, for chariot, and for horsemen? And in your leaning on YHWH He gave them into your hand,
雇士人和利比亞人不是一支很強大的軍隊嗎﹖戰車騎兵不是很多嗎﹖但幾時你依靠上主，他便將他們交在你的手中。
9 for YHWH—His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to show Himself strong [for] a people whose heart [is] perfect toward Him; you have been foolish concerning this, because from now on there are wars with you.”
上主的眼遍察各地，對所有專心忠於他的，他必大顯威能，加以扶助。你這事作得太無知了，今後你必要遭遇戰禍。」
10 And Asa is angry at the seer, and puts him [in] the house of stocks, for [he is] in a rage with him for this; and Asa oppresses [some] of the people at that time.
阿撒對先見者發怒，將他囚在獄中；王在這事上實在生了大氣，同時阿撒又虐待了一些百姓。[阿撒逝世 ]
11 And behold, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
阿撒的前後事蹟，都記載在猶大和以色列列王實錄上。
12 And Asa is diseased—in the thirty-ninth year of his reign—in his feet, until his disease is excessive; and also in his disease he has not sought YHWH, but among physicians.
阿撒當國第三十九年，患了足疾，病得十分嚴重；他在病中不求上主，而只求醫。
13 And Asa lies with his fathers, and dies in the forty-first year of his reign,
阿撒在位四十一年逝世，與祖先同眠。
14 and they bury him in [one of] his graves that he had prepared for himself in the City of David, and they cause him to lie on a bed that [one] has filled [with] spices, and various kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn a very great burning for him.
人們將他葬在達味城，自己所鑿的墳墓，將他放在床上面，滿堆香料，即照調香法所製的各種香料，又為他焚燒了很多的香料。
