2 Chronicles 15
1 And upon Azariah son of Oded hath been the Spirit of God,
神的灵感动俄德的儿子亚撒利雅。
2 and he goeth out before Asa, and saith to him, 'Hear, me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; Jehovah [is] with you — in your being with Him, and if ye seek Him, He is found of you, and if ye forsake Him, He forsaketh you;
他出来迎接亚撒，对他说：“亚撒和犹大、便雅悯众人哪，要听我说：你们若顺从耶和华，耶和华必与你们同在；你们若寻求他，就必寻见；你们若离弃他，他必离弃你们。
3 and many days [are] to Israel without a true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law,
以色列人不信真神，没有训诲的祭司，也没有律法，已经好久了；
4 and it turneth back in its distress unto Jehovah, God of Israel, and they seek Him, and He is found of them,
但他们在急难的时候归向耶和华—以色列的 神，寻求他，他就被他们寻见。
5 and in those times there is no peace to him who is going out, and to him who is coming in, for many troubles [are] on all the inhabitants of the lands,
那时，出入的人不得平安，列国的居民都遭大乱；
6 and they have been beaten down, nation by nation, and city by city, for God hath troubled them with every adversity;
这国攻击那国，这城攻击那城，互相破坏，因为 神用各样灾难扰乱他们。
7 and ye, be ye strong, and let not your hands be feeble, for there is a reward for your work.'
现在你们要刚强，不要手软，因你们所行的必得赏赐。”
8 And at Asa's hearing these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he hath strengthened himself, and doth cause the abominations to pass away out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he hath captured from the hill-country of Ephraim, and reneweth the altar of Jehovah that [is] before the porch of Jehovah,
亚撒听见这话和俄德儿子先知亚撒利雅的预言，就壮起胆来，在犹大、便雅悯全地，并以法莲山地所夺的各城，将可憎之物尽都除掉，又在耶和华殿的廊前重新修筑耶和华的坛；
9 and gathereth all Judah and Benjamin, and the sojourners with them out of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and out of Simeon — for they have fallen unto him from Israel in abundance, in their seeing that Jehovah his God [is] with him.
又招聚犹大、便雅悯的众人，并他们中间寄居的以法莲人、玛拿西人、西缅人。有许多以色列人归降亚撒，因见耶和华—他的 神与他同在。
10 And they are gathered to Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
亚撒十五年三月，他们都聚集在耶路撒冷。
11 and sacrifice to Jehovah on that day from the spoil they have brought in — oxen seven hundred, and sheep seven thousand,
当日他们从所取的掳物中，将牛七百只、羊七千只献给耶和华。
12 and they enter into a covenant to seek Jehovah, God of their fathers, with all their heart, and with all their soul,
他们就立约，要尽心尽性地寻求耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
13 and every one who doth not seek for Jehovah, God of Israel, is put to death, from small unto great, from man unto woman.
凡不寻求耶和华—以色列 神的，无论大小、男女，必被治死。
14 And they swear to Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets,
他们就大声欢呼，吹号吹角，向耶和华起誓。
15 and rejoice do all Judah concerning the oath, for with all their heart they have sworn, and with all their good-will they have sought Him, and He is found of them, and Jehovah giveth rest to them round about.
犹大众人为所起的誓欢喜；因他们是尽心起誓，尽意寻求耶和华，耶和华就被他们寻见，且赐他们四境平安。
16 And also Maachah, mother of Asa the king — he hath removed her from [being] mistress, in that she hath made for a shrine a horrible thing, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and beateth [it] small, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron:
亚撒王贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉。亚撒砍下她的偶像，捣得粉碎，烧在汲沦溪边。
17 yet the high places have not turned aside from Israel; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect all his days.
只是邱坛还没有从以色列中废去，然而亚撒的心一生诚实。
18 And he bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.
亚撒将他父所分别为圣、与自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿都奉到 神的殿里。
19 And war hath not been till the thirty and fifth year of the reign of Asa.
从这时直到亚撒三十五年，都没有争战的事。
