2 Chronicles 15
1 Forsothe Azarie, the sone of Obeth, whanne the spirit of the Lord was comyn in to hym,
上帝的靈感動俄德的兒子亞撒利雅。
2 yede out in to the metyng of Asa; and seide to hym, Asa and al Juda and Beniamyn, here ye me; the Lord is with you, for ye weren with hym; if ye seken hym, ye schulen fynde hym; sotheli if ye forsaken hym, he schal forsake you.
他出來迎接亞撒，對他說：「亞撒和猶大、便雅憫眾人哪，要聽我說：你們若順從耶和華，耶和華必與你們同在；你們若尋求他，就必尋見；你們若離棄他，他必離棄你們。
3 Forsothe many daies schulen passe in Israel with outen veri God, and without preest, and without techere, and without lawe.
以色列人不信真神，沒有訓誨的祭司，也沒有律法，已經好久了；
4 And whanne thei turnen ayen in her angwisch, and crien to the Lord God of Israel, and seken hym, thei schulen fynde hym.
但他們在急難的時候歸向耶和華－以色列的上帝，尋求他，他就被他們尋見。
5 In that tyme schal not be pees to go out and to go in, but dredis on al side on alle the dwelleris of londis.
那時，出入的人不得平安，列國的居民都遭大亂；
6 For a folk schal fiyte ayens folk, and a citee ayens a citee, for the Lord schal disturble hem in al anguysch;
這國攻擊那國，這城攻擊那城，互相破壞，因為上帝用各樣災難擾亂他們。
7 but be ye coumfortid, and youre hondis be not slakid; for mede schal be to youre werk.
現在你們要剛強，不要手軟，因你們所行的必得賞賜。」
8 And whanne Asa hadde herd this thing, that is, the wordis and profesye of Asarie, the sone of Obed, the profete, he was coumfortid, and he dide a wei alle the idols fro al the lond of Juda and of Beniamyn, and fro the citees whiche he hadde take of the hil of Effraym. And he halewide the auter of the Lord, that was bifor the porche of the hows of the Lord.
亞撒聽見這話和俄德兒子先知亞撒利雅的預言，就壯起膽來，在猶大、便雅憫全地，並以法蓮山地所奪的各城，將可憎之物盡都除掉，又在耶和華殿的廊前重新修築耶和華的壇；
9 And he gaderide togidere al Juda and Beniamyn, and with hem the comelyngis of Effraym, and of Manasses, and of Symeon; for manye of Israel, seynge that his Lord God was with hym, fledden ouer to hym.
又招聚猶大、便雅憫的眾人，並他們中間寄居的以法蓮人、瑪拿西人、西緬人。有許多以色列人歸降亞撒，因見耶和華－他的上帝與他同在。
10 And whanne thei hadden comun in to Jerusalem, in the thridde monethe, in the fiftenthe yeer of the rewme of Asa,
亞撒十五年三月，他們都聚集在耶路撒冷。
11 thei offriden `to the Lord in that dai, bothe of the spuylis and of the prey, which thei hadden brouyt, seuene hundrid oxis, and seuene thousynde wetheris.
當日他們從所取的擄物中，將牛七百隻、羊七千隻獻給耶和華。
12 And Asa entride bi custom to make strong the boond of pees, that thei schulden seke the Lord God of her fadris in al her herte, and in al her soule.
他們就立約，要盡心盡性地尋求耶和華－他們列祖的上帝。
13 Sotheli he seide, If ony man sekith not the Lord God of Israel, die he, fro the leeste `til to the mooste, fro man `til to womman.
凡不尋求耶和華－以色列上帝的，無論大小、男女，必被治死。
14 And alle that weren in Juda sworen with cursyng to the Lord, with greet vois, in hertli song, and in sown of trumpe, and in sown of clariouns;
他們就大聲歡呼，吹號吹角，向耶和華起誓。
15 for thei sworen in al her herte, and in al the wille thei souyten hym, and founden hym; and the Lord yaf to hem reste bi cumpas.
猶大眾人為所起的誓歡喜；因他們是盡心起誓，盡意尋求耶和華，耶和華就被他們尋見，且賜他們四境平安。
16 But also he puttide doun Maacha, the modir of `Asa the kyng, fro the streit empire, for sche hadde made in a wode the symylacre, `ether licnesse, of a mannus yerde; and he al to-brak al `that symylacre, and pownede it in to gobetis, and `brente it in the stronde of Cedron.
亞撒王貶了他祖母瑪迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亞舍拉。亞撒砍下她的偶像，搗得粉碎，燒在汲淪溪邊。
17 But hiy places weren left in Israel; netheles the herte of Asa was riytful in alle hise daies.
只是邱壇還沒有從以色列中廢去，然而亞撒的心一生誠實。
18 And he brouyte in to the hows of the Lord tho thingis that his fadir avowide, siluer and gold, and dyuerse purtenaunce of vessels;
亞撒將他父所分別為聖、與自己所分別為聖的金銀和器皿都奉到上帝的殿裏。
19 sotheli batel was not `til to the threttithe yeer of the rewme of Asa.
從這時直到亞撒三十五年，都沒有爭戰的事。
