< 2 Chronicles 34 >
1 [was] a son of Eight years Josiah when became king he and thirty and one year[s] he reigned in Jerusalem.
約西亞登基的時候年八歲,在耶路撒冷作王三十一年。
2 And he did the right in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he walked in [the] ways of David ancestor his and not he turned aside right and left.
他行耶和華眼中看為正的事,效法他祖大衛所行的,不偏左右。
3 And in eight years of reigning his and he still he [was] a youth he began to seek [the] God of David ancestor his and in two [plus] ten year he began to cleanse Judah and Jerusalem from the high places and the Asherah poles and the idols and the molten images.
他作王第八年,尚且年幼,就尋求他祖大衛的上帝。到了十二年才潔淨猶大和耶路撒冷,除掉邱壇、木偶、雕刻的像,和鑄造的像。
4 And people pulled down before him [the] altars of the Baals and the incense altars which [were] upwards above them he cut down and the Asherah poles and the idols and the molten images he broke in pieces and he pulverized [them] and he sprinkled [them] on [the] surface of the graves who sacrificed to them.
眾人在他面前拆毀巴力的壇,砍斷壇上高高的日像,又把木偶和雕刻的像,並鑄造的像打碎成灰,撒在祭偶像人的墳上,
5 And [the] bones of priests he burned on (altars their *Q(K)*) and he cleansed Judah and Jerusalem.
將他們祭司的骸骨燒在壇上,潔淨了猶大和耶路撒冷;
6 And in [the] cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon and to Naphtali (in [the] hill country of with swords their *Q(K)*) all around.
又在瑪拿西、以法蓮、西緬、拿弗他利各城,和四圍破壞之處,都這樣行;
7 And he pulled down the altars and the Asherah poles and the idols he crushed to pulverize and all the incense altars he cut down in all [the] land of Israel and he returned to Jerusalem.
又拆毀祭壇,把木偶和雕刻的像打碎成灰,砍斷以色列遍地所有的日像,就回耶路撒冷去了。
8 And in year eight-teen of reigning his to cleanse the land and the house he sent Shaphan [the] son Azaliah and Maaseiah [the] official of the city and Joah [the] son of Joahaz the recorder to repair [the] house of Yahweh God his.
約西亞王十八年,淨地淨殿之後,就差遣亞薩利雅的兒子沙番、邑宰瑪西雅、約哈斯的兒子史官約亞去修理耶和華-他上帝的殿。
9 And they went to Hilkiah - the priest great and they gave the money which had been brought [the] house of God which they had gathered the Levites [the] keepers of the threshold from [the] hand of Manasseh and Ephraim and from all [the] remnant of Israel and from all Judah and Benjamin (and they returned of *Q(K)*) Jerusalem.
他們就去見大祭司希勒家,將奉到上帝殿的銀子交給他;這銀子是看守殿門的利未人從瑪拿西、以法蓮,和一切以色列剩下的人,以及猶大、便雅憫眾人,並耶路撒冷的居民收來的。
10 And they gave [it] on [the] hand of [the] doer of the work who were appointed in [the] house of Yahweh and they gave it [the] doers of the work who [were] working in [the] house of Yahweh to mend and to repair the house.
又將這銀子交給耶和華殿裏督工的,轉交修理耶和華殿的工匠,
11 And they gave [it] to the craftsmen and to the builders to buy stones of hewing and wood for the clamps and to make beams for the houses which they had ruined [the] kings of Judah.
就是交給木匠、石匠,買鑿成的石頭和架木與棟樑,修猶大王所毀壞的殿。
12 And the men [were] working in faithfulness in the work and over them - [were] appointed Jahath and Obadiah the Levites of [the] descendants of Merari and Zechariah and Meshullam of [the] descendants of the Kohathites to act as overseers and the Levites every [one who] was skilled in instruments of song.
這些人辦事誠實,督工的是利未人米拉利的子孫雅哈、俄巴底;督催的是哥轄的子孫撒迦利亞、米書蘭;還有善於作樂的利未人。
13 [were] over The burden-bearers and [were] acting as overseers of every doer of work for labor and labor and some of the Levites [were] scribes and officials and gatekeepers.
他們又監管扛抬的人,督催一切做工的。利未人中也有作書記、作司事、作守門的。
14 And when brought out they the money which had been brought [the] house of Yahweh he found Hilkiah the priest [the] scroll of [the] law of Yahweh by [the] hand of Moses.
他們將奉到耶和華殿的銀子運出來的時候,祭司希勒家偶然得了摩西所傳耶和華的律法書。
15 And he answered Hilkiah and he said to Shaphan the scribe [the] scroll of the law I have found in [the] house of Yahweh and he gave Hilkiah the scroll to Shaphan.
希勒家對書記沙番說:「我在耶和華殿裏得了律法書。」遂將書遞給沙番。
16 And he brought Shaphan the scroll to the king and he brought back again the king a word saying all that it was given in [the] hand of servants your they [are] doing.
沙番把書拿到王那裏,回覆王說:「凡交給僕人們辦的都辦理了。
17 And they have poured out the money which was found in [the] house of Yahweh and they have put it on [the] hand of those [who] were appointed and on [the] hand of [the] doers of the work.
耶和華殿裏的銀子倒出來,交給督工的和匠人的手裏了。」
18 And he told Shaphan the scribe to the king saying a scroll he has given to me Hilkiah the priest and he read aloud in it Shaphan before the king.
書記沙番又對王說:「祭司希勒家遞給我一卷書。」沙番就在王面前讀那書。
19 And it was when heard the king [the] words of the law and he tore clothes his.
王聽見律法上的話,就撕裂衣服,
20 And he commanded the king Hilkiah and Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan and Abdon [the] son of Micah and - Shaphan the scribe and Asaiah [the] servant of the king saying.
吩咐希勒家與沙番的兒子亞希甘、米迦的兒子亞比頓、書記沙番,和王的臣僕亞撒雅說:
21 Go consult Yahweh for me and for the remnant among Israel and among Judah on [the] words of the scroll which it has been found for [is] great [the] anger of Yahweh which it has been poured out on us on that not they took care ancestors our [the] word of Yahweh to observe according to every [thing] written on the scroll this.
「你們去為我、為以色列和猶大剩下的人,以這書上的話求問耶和華;因我們列祖沒有遵守耶和華的言語,沒有照這書上所記的去行,耶和華的烈怒就倒在我們身上。」
22 And he went Hilkiah and [those] whom the king to Huldah the prophetess [the] wife of - Shallum [the] son of (Tokhath *Q(K)*) [the] son of Hasrah [the] keeper of the garments and she [was] dwelling in Jerusalem in the second district and they spoke to her like this.
於是,希勒家和王所派的眾人都去見女先知戶勒大。戶勒大是掌管禮服沙龍的妻,沙龍是哈斯拉的孫子、特瓦的兒子。戶勒大住在耶路撒冷第二區;他們請問於她。
23 And she said to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel say to the man who he sent you to me.
她對他們說:「耶和華-以色列的上帝如此說:『你們可以回覆那差遣你們來見我的人說,
24 Thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to bring harm on the place this and on inhabitants its all the curses which are written on the scroll which people have read aloud before [the] king of Judah.
耶和華如此說:我必照着在猶大王面前所讀那書上的一切咒詛,降禍與這地和其上的居民;
25 Because - that they have forsaken me (and they have made smoke *Q(K)*) to gods other so as to provoke to anger me by all [the] works of hands their so it may pour forth rage my on the place this and not it will be quenched.
因為他們離棄我,向別神燒香,用他們手所做的惹我發怒,所以我的忿怒如火倒在這地上,總不熄滅。』
26 And to [the] king of Judah who sent you to consult Yahweh thus you will say to him. Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel the words which you have heard.
然而差遣你們來求問耶和華的猶大王,你們要這樣回覆他說:『耶和華-以色列的上帝如此說:至於你所聽見的話,
27 Because it was soft heart your and you humbled yourself - from to before God when hearing you words his on the place this and on inhabitants its and you humbled yourself before me and you tore clothes your and you wept before me and also I I have heard [the] utterance of Yahweh.
就是聽見我指着這地和其上居民所說的話,你便心裏敬服,在我面前自卑,撕裂衣服,向我哭泣,因此我應允了你。這是我-耶和華說的。
28 Here I [will] gather you to ancestors your and you will be gathered to grave your in peace and not they will look eyes your on all the distress which I [am] about to bring on the place this and on inhabitants its and they brought back the king word.
我必使你平平安安地歸到墳墓,到你列祖那裏,我要降與這地和其上居民的一切災禍,你也不致親眼看見。』」他們就回覆王去了。
29 And he sent the king and he gathered all [the] elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
王差遣人招聚猶大和耶路撒冷的眾長老來。
30 And he went up the king [the] house of Yahweh and every person of Judah and [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the Levites and all the people from great and unto small and he read aloud in ears their all [the] words of [the] scroll of the covenant which had been found [the] house of Yahweh.
王和猶大眾人,與耶路撒冷的居民,並祭司利未人,以及所有的百姓,無論大小,都一同上到耶和華的殿;王就把殿裏所得的約書念給他們聽。
31 And he stood the king at place his and he made the covenant before Yahweh to walk after Yahweh and to keep commandments his and testimonies his and statutes his with all heart his and with all being his to observe [the] words of the covenant which was written on the scroll this.
王站在他的地位上,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;
32 And he made stand every [one who] was found in Jerusalem and Benjamin and they did [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem according to [the] covenant of God [the] God of ancestors their.
又使住耶路撒冷和便雅憫的人都服從這約。於是耶路撒冷的居民都遵行他們列祖之上帝的約。
33 And he removed Josiah all the abominations from all the lands which [belonged] to [the] people of Israel and he made to serve every [one who] was found in Israel to serve Yahweh God their all days his not they turned aside from after Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their.
約西亞從以色列各處將一切可憎之物盡都除掉,使以色列境內的人都事奉耶和華-他們的上帝。約西亞在世的日子,就跟從耶和華-他們列祖的上帝,總不離開。
