< 2 Chronicles 16 >
1 Forsothe in the sixe and thrittithe yeer of his rewme Baasa, the kyng of Israel, stiede in to Juda, and cumpasside Rama with a wal, that no man of the rewme of Asa myyte go out ether entre sikirli.
亞撒三十六年,以色列王巴沙上來攻擊猶大,修築拉瑪,不許人從猶大王亞撒那裏出入。
2 Sotheli Asa brouyte forth gold and siluer fro the tresours of the hows of the Lord, and fro the kyngis tresouris; and sente to Benadab, kyng of Sirie, that dwellide in Damask,
於是亞撒從耶和華殿和王宮的府庫裏拿出金銀來,送與住大馬士革的亞蘭王便‧哈達,說:
3 and seide, Boond of pees is bitwixe me and thee, and my fadir and thi fadir hadden acordyng; wherfor Y sente to thee siluer and gold, that whanne thou hast broke the boond of pees, which thou hast with Baasa, king of Israel, thou make hym to go awei fro me.
「你父曾與我父立約,我與你也要立約。現在我將金銀送給你,求你廢掉你與以色列王巴沙所立的約,使他離開我。」
4 And whanne this was foundun, Benadab sente princes of hise oostis to the citees of Israel, whiche smytiden Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaym, and alle the wallid citees of Neptalym.
便‧哈達聽從亞撒王的話,派軍長去攻擊以色列的城邑。他們就攻破以雲、但、亞伯‧瑪音,和拿弗他利一切的積貨城。
5 And whanne Baasa hadde herd this, he ceesside to bilde Rama, and left his werk.
巴沙聽見就停工,不修築拉瑪了。
6 Forsothe kyng Asa took al Juda, and thei token fro Rama the stonys and trees, whiche Baasa hadde maad redi to bildyng; and he bildide of tho Gabaa, and Maspha.
於是亞撒王率領猶大眾人,將巴沙修築拉瑪所用的石頭、木頭都運去,用以修築迦巴和米斯巴。
7 In that tyme Anany, the profete, cam to Asa, kyng of Juda, and seide to hym, For thou haddist trist in the kyng of Sirie, and not in `thi Lord God, herfor the oost of `the kyng of Sirie aschapide fro thin hond.
那時,先見哈拿尼來見猶大王亞撒,對他說:「因你仰賴亞蘭王,沒有仰賴耶和華-你的上帝,所以亞蘭王的軍兵脫離了你的手。
8 Whether `Ethiopiens and Libiens weren not many mo in charis, and knyytis, and ful greet multitude; whiche whanne thou haddist bileuyd to the Lord, he bitook in to thin hondis?
古實人、路比人的軍隊不是甚大嗎?戰車馬兵不是極多嗎?只因你仰賴耶和華,他便將他們交在你手裏。
9 For the iyen of the Lord biholden al the erthe, and yyuen strengthe to hem, that with perfit herte bileuen in to hym. Therfor thou hast do folili, and for this, yhe, in present tyme batels schulen rise ayens thee.
耶和華的眼目遍察全地,要顯大能幫助向他心存誠實的人。你這事行得愚昧;此後,你必有爭戰的事。」
10 And Asa was wrooth ayens the prophete, and comaundide hym to be sent in to stockis. Forsothe the Lord hadde indignacioun greetli on this thing, and killide ful many of the puple in that tyme.
亞撒因此惱恨先見,將他囚在監裏。那時亞撒也虐待一些人民。
11 Sotheli the firste and the laste werkis of Asa ben writun in the book of kyngis of Juda and of Israel.
亞撒所行的事,自始至終都寫在猶大和以色列諸王記上。
12 Forsothe Asa was sijk ful gretli in the akynge of feet, in the nyne and thrittithe yeer of his rewme; and nether in his sikenesse he souyte the Lord, but tristide more in the craft of lechis.
亞撒作王三十九年,他腳上有病,而且甚重。病的時候沒有求耶和華,只求醫生。
13 And Asa slepte with hise fadris, and he was deed in the oon and fourtithe yeer of his rewme.
他作王四十一年而死,與他列祖同睡,
14 And thei birieden him in his sepulcre, which he hadde maad to hym silf in the cytee of Dauid; and thei puttiden hym on his bed ful of swete smellynge spices and oynementis of hooris, that weren `maad togidere bi the craft of oynement makeris, and thei brenten on hym with ful greet cost.
葬在大衛城自己所鑿的墳墓裏,放在床上,其床堆滿各樣馨香的香料,就是按做香的作法調和的香料,又為他燒了許多的物件。
