2 Chronicles 14
1 Forsothe Abia slepte with hise fadris, and thei birieden hym in the citee of Dauid; and Asa, his sone, regnede for hym. In whos daies the lond restide ten yeer.
阿彼雅與列祖同眠，葬仔達味城；他的兒子阿撒繼位為王。他在位時，國內平安了十年。
2 And Asa dide that, that was good and plesaunt in the siyt of his God, and he destriede the auteris of straunge worschipyng, and `he destriede hiy places,
[阿撒的熱誠和努力]阿撒行了上主他的天主視為善，視為正直得事，
3 and brak ymagis, and kittide doun woodis;
除掉了外邦的祭壇和高丘，毀壞了柱像，拆除了木偶，
4 and he comaundide Juda to seke the Lord God of her fadris, and to do the lawe and alle comaundementis.
並命令猶大應尋求上主他們祖先的天主，遵行他的法律和誡命，
5 And he took awei fro alle the citees of Juda auteris and templis of idols, and he regnede in pees.
也鏟除了猶大各城內的高丘和太陽柱。那時，國家在他統治下安享太平。
6 And he bildide stronge cytees in Juda; for he was in reste, and no batels risiden in his tymes, for the Lord yaf pees.
他又在猶大修築了幾座堅城，因為境內平靖，數年沒有戰爭，上主賜予他平安。
7 Forsothe he seide to Juda, Bilde we these cytees, and cumpasse we with wallis, and strengthe we with touris and yatis and lockis, as longe as alle thingis ben restful fro batel; for we han souyte the Lord God of oure fadris, and he hath youe to vs pees bi cumpas. Therfor thei bildiden, and no lettyng was in bildyng.
阿撒對猶大人說：「我們必須建築這些城邑，四周建築城垣堡壘，安置大門和門閂；地域仍屬我們，是因為我們尋求了上主，我們的天主。我們既尋求了他，他便使我們四境平靖。」於是他們興工建築，事事順利。
8 Sotheli Asa hadde in his oost thre hundrid thousynde of men of Juda berynge scheldis and speris, sotheli of Beniamyn he hadde two hundrid thousynde and fourscoore thousynde of scheeld beeris and of archeris; alle these weren ful stronge men.
阿撒的軍隊，持盾持戈的猶大人三十萬，持牌挽弓的本雅明人二十八萬：這些人都是勇士。[則辣黑進攻失敗]
9 Forsothe Zara of Ethiop yede out ayens hem with his oost ten `sithis an hundrid thousynde, and with thre hundrid charis, and cam `til to Masera.
那時，雇士人則辣黑率領百萬大軍，戰車三百輛，前來進攻，到了瑪勒沙。
10 Certis Aza yede ayens hem, and araiede scheltrun to batel in the valei Sephata, which is bisidis Masera. And he inwardli clepide the Lord God,
阿撒出來迎戰，陳兵在離瑪勒沙不遠的責法達山谷。
11 and seide, Lord, no dyuersitee is anentis thee, whether thou helpe in fewe, ethir in manye; oure Lord God, helpe thou vs, for we han trist in thee and in thi name, and camen ayens this multitude; Lord, thou art oure God, a man haue not the maistrye ayens thee.
阿撒呼籲上主他的天主說：「上主! 在強弱懸殊之下，無人能似你能協助。上主，我們的天主! 求你協助我們，因為我們只有依賴你，奉你的名來迎擊這支大軍。上主，你是我們的天主，不要讓人勝過你! 」
12 Therfor the Lord made aferd Ethiopens bifor Asa and Juda, and Ethiopens fledden; and Asa and his puple,
於是上主在阿撒和猶大人前打擊了雇士人，雇士人遂逃走。
13 that was with hym, pursuede hem `til to Gerare. And Ethiopens felden doun `til to deeth, for thei weren al to-brokun bi the Lord sleynge, and bi his oost fiytynge. Therfor thei token many spuylis,
阿撒帶著跟隨他的軍民，追擊他們直到革辣爾。雇士人甚至沒有一個活的，都喪亡了，因為他們為上主和他的軍隊擊潰。猶大人奪取了很多財物。
14 and smitiden alle the citees `bi the cumpas of Gerare; for greet drede hadde assailid alle men. And thei rifliden cytees, and baren a weye myche prey;
他們又攻破了革辣爾四周所有的城池，因為上主的恐怖籠罩了這些城池；猶大人又將所有的城擄掠一空，因為城中有許多財物。
15 but also thei destrieden the fooldis of scheep, and token multitude without noumbre of scheep and of camels, and turneden ayen in to Jerusalem.
隨後又毀壞了群畜的圍欄，掠取了許多羊群和駱駝，便回耶路撒冷去了。
