2 Chronicles

Chapter 15

1 And the Spirit7307 of God430 came1961 upon5921 Azariah5838 the son1121 of Oded: 5752

2 And he went out3318 to meet6440 Asa,609 and said559 unto him, Hear8085 ye me, Asa,609 and all3605 Judah3063 and Benjamin;1144 The LORD3068 is with5973 you, while ye be1961 with5973 him; and if518 ye seek1875 him, he will be found4672 of you; but if518 ye forsake5800 him, he will forsake5800 you.

3 Now for a long season7227 3117 Israel3478 hath been without3808 the true571 God,430 and without3808 a teaching3384 priest,3548 and without3808 law.8451

4 But when they in their trouble6862 did turn7725 unto5921 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel,3478 and sought1245 him, he was found4672 of them.

5 And in those1992 times6256 there was no369 peace7965 to him that went out,3318 nor to him that came in,935 but3588 great7227 vexations4103 were upon5921 all3605 the inhabitants3427 of the countries.776

6 And nation1471 was destroyed3807 of nation,1471 and city5892 of city:5892 for3588 God430 did vex2000 them with all3605 adversity.6869

7 Be ye strong859 2388 therefore, and let not408 your hands3027 be weak:7503 for3588 your work6468 shall be3426 rewarded.7939

8 And when Asa609 heard8085 these428 words,1697 and the prophecy5016 of Oded5752 the prophet,5030 he took courage,2388 and put away5674 the abominable idols8251 out of all4480 3605 the land776 of Judah3063 and Benjamin,1144 and out of4480 the cities5892 which834 he had taken3920 from mount4480 2022 Ephraim,669 and renewed2318 853 the altar4196 of the LORD,3068 that834 was before6440 the porch197 of the LORD.3068

9 And he gathered6908 853 all3605 Judah3063 and Benjamin,1144 and the strangers1481 with5973 them out of Ephraim4480 669 and Manasseh,4519 and out of Simeon:4480 8095 for3588 they fell5307 to5921 him out of Israel4480 3478 in abundance,7230 when they saw7200 that3588 the LORD3068 his God430 was with5973 him.

10 So they gathered themselves together6908 at Jerusalem3389 in the third7992 month,2320 in the fifteenth2568 6240 year8141 of the reign4438 of Asa.609

11 And they offered2076 unto the LORD3068 the same1931 time,3117 of4480 the spoil7998 which they had brought,935 seven7651 hundred3967 oxen1241 and seven7651 thousand505 sheep.6629

12 And they entered935 into a covenant1285 to seek1875 853 the LORD3068 God430 of their fathers1 with all3605 their heart3824 and with all3605 their soul;5315

13 That whosoever3605 834 would not3808 seek1875 the LORD3068 God430 of Israel3478 should be put to death,4191 whether4480 small6996 or5704 great,1419 whether man4480 376 or5704 woman.802

14 And they swore7650 unto the LORD3068 with a loud1419 voice,6963 and with shouting,8643 and with trumpets,2689 and with cornets.7782

15 And all3605 Judah3063 rejoiced8055 at5921 the oath:7621 for3588 they had sworn7650 with all3605 their heart,3824 and sought1245 him with their whole3605 desire;7522 and he was found4672 of them: and the LORD3068 gave them rest5117 round about.4480 5439

16 And also1571 concerning Maachah4601 the mother517 of Asa609 the king,4428 he removed5493 her from being queen,4480 1377 because834 she had made6213 an idol4656 in a grove:842 and Asa609 cut down3772 853 her idol,4656 and stamped1854 it, and burnt8313 it at the brook5158 Kidron.6939

17 But the high places1116 were not3808 taken away5493 out of Israel:4480 3478 nevertheless7535 the heart3824 of Asa609 was1961 perfect8003 all3605 his days.3117

18 And he brought into935 the house1004 of God430 853 the things that his father1 had dedicated,6944 and that he himself had dedicated,6944 silver,3701 and gold,2091 and vessels.3627

19 And there was1961 no3808 more war4421 unto5704 the five2568 and thirtieth7970 year8141 of the reign4438 of Asa.609

第15章

1 神的[Spirit]感動俄德的兒子亞撒利雅。

2 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 以色列[Israel]沒有[without]真神,沒有訓誨的祭司,也沒有律法,已經好久了。

4 但他們在急難的時候歸向耶和華─以色列的神,尋求他,他就被他們尋見。

5 那時,出入的人不得平安,列國的居民都遭大亂;

6 這國毀滅[destroyed]那國,這城毀滅[destroyed]那城,互相破壞,因為神用各樣災難擾亂他們。

7 現在你們要剛強,不要手軟,因你們所行的必得賞賜。」

8 亞撒聽見這些[these]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 亞撒[he]又招聚猶大、便雅憫的眾人,並他們中間為外人[strangers]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─他的神與他同在。

10 亞撒十五年三月,他們都聚集在耶路撒冷。

11 當時[the same time],他們從所取的擄物中,將牛七百隻、羊七千隻獻給耶和華。

12 他們就立約,要盡心盡性地尋求耶和華─他們列祖的神。

13 凡不尋求耶和華─以色列神的,無論大小、男女,必被治死。

14 他們就大聲歡呼,吹號吹角,向耶和華起誓。

15 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 亞撒王貶了他祖母瑪迦太后的位,因她在樹叢中[in a grove]造了一個[an]偶像。亞撒砍下她的偶像,搗得粉碎,燒在汲淪溪邊。

17 只是眾高邱[high places]還沒有從以色列中廢去;然而亞撒的心一生完全[perfect]

18 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神的殿裏。

19 從這時直到亞撒三十五年,都沒有爭戰的事。
