15:3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。
Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God; and without a teaching priest; and without law。
15:4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。
But when they in their trouble did turn unto the LORD God of Israel; and sought him; he was found of them。
15:5那时,出入的人不得平安,列国的居民都遭大乱。
And in those times there was no peace to him that went out; nor to him that came in; but great vexations were upon all the inhabitants of the countries。
15:6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。
And nation was destroyed of nation; and city of city: for God did vex them with all adversity。
15:7现在你们要刚强,不要手软,因你们所行的必得赏赐。
Be ye strong therefore; and let not your hands be weak: for your work shall be rewarded。
15:8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。
And when Asa heard these words; and the prophecy of Oded the prophet; he took courage; and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin; and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim; and renewed the altar of the LORD; that was before the porch of the LORD。
15:9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。
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin; and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh; and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance; when they saw that the LORD his God was with him。
15:10亚撒十五年三月,他们都聚集在耶路撒冷。
So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month; in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa。
15:11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。
And they offered unto the LORD the same time; of the spoil which they had brought; seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep。
15:12他们就立约,要尽心尽性地寻求耶和华他们列祖的神。
And they entered into a covenant to seek the LORD God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul;
15:13凡不寻求耶和华以色列神的,无论大小,男女,必被治死。
That whosoever would not seek the LORD God of Israel should be put to death; whether small or great; whether man or woman。
15:14他们就大声欢呼,吹号吹角,向耶和华起誓。
And they sware unto the LORD with a loud voice; and with shouting; and with trumpets; and with cornets。
15:15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。
And all Judah rejoiced at the oath: for they had sworn with all their heart; and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest round about。
15:16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。
And also concerning Maachah the mother of Asa the king; he removed her from being queen; because she had made an idol in a grove: and Asa cut down her idol; and stamped it; and burnt it at the brook Kidron。
15:17只是邱坛还没有从以色列中废去,然而亚撒的心一生诚实。
But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days。
15:18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。
And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had dedicated; and that he himself had dedicated; silver; and gold; and vessels。
15:19从这时直到亚撒三十五年,都没有争战的事。
And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa。
旧约 历代记下(2 Chronicles) 第 16 章 ( 本篇共有 36 章 ) 7上一章 下一章8 目录
16:1亚撒三十六年,以色列王巴沙上来攻击犹大,修筑拉玛,不许人从犹大王亚撒那里出入。
In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah; and built Ramah; to the intent that he might let none go out or e in to Asa king of Judah。
16:2于是亚撒从耶和华殿和王宫的府库里拿出金银来,送与住大马士革的亚兰王便哈达,说,
Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house; and sent to Benhadad king of Syria; that dwelt at Damascus; saying;
16:3你父曾与我父立约,我与你也要立约。现在我将金银送给你,求你废掉你与以色列王巴沙所立的约,使他离开我。
There is a league between me and thee; as there was between my father and thy father: behold; I have sent thee silver and gold; go; break thy league with Baasha king of Israel; that he may depart from me。
16:4便哈达听从亚撒王的话,派军长去攻击以色列的城邑。他们就攻破以云,但,亚伯玛音,和拿弗他利一切的积货城。
And Benhadad hearkened unto king Asa; and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon; and Dan; and Abelmaim; and all the store cities of Naphtali。
16:5巴沙听见就停工,不修筑拉玛了。
And it came to pass; when Baasha heard it; that he left off building of Ramah; and let his work cease。
16:6于是亚撒王率领犹大众人,将巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头,木头都运去,用以修筑迦巴和米斯巴。
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah; and the timber thereof; wherewith Baasha was building; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah。
16:7那时,先见哈拿尼来见犹大王亚撒,对他说,因你仰赖亚兰王,没有仰赖耶和华你的神,所以亚兰王的军兵脱离了你的手。
And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah; and said unto him; Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria; and not relied on the LORD thy God; therefore is the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thine hand。
16:8古实人,路比人的军队不是甚大吗。战车马兵不是极多吗。只因你仰赖耶和华,他便将他们交在你手里。
Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubims a huge host; with very many chariots and horsemen? yet; because thou didst rely on the LORD; he delivered them into thine hand。
16:9耶和华的眼目遍察全地,要显大能帮助向他心存诚实的人。你这事行得愚昧。此后,你必有争战的事。
For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth; to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him。 Herein thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars。
16:10亚撒因此恼恨先见,将他�
