历代志下 15
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
亚撒的改革
15 上帝的灵降在俄德的儿子亚撒利雅身上， 2 他便出来迎接亚撒，对他说：“亚撒啊，所有的犹大人和便雅悯人啊，请听我说！你们若顺从耶和华，祂必与你们同在。你们若寻求祂，祂必让你们寻见。你们若背弃祂，祂必离弃你们。 3 以色列人已经许久没有真神，没有祭司教导，也没有律法。 4 然而，他们在患难时归向以色列的上帝耶和华，寻求祂，祂就让他们寻见。 5 那时，人们出入不得平安，因为各地都有动乱。 6 邦国与邦国、城邑与城邑互相攻击破坏，因为上帝用各样的灾难扰乱他们。 7 但你们要刚强，不要双手发软，因为你们必因所行的而得奖赏。”
8 亚撒听了俄德的儿子亚撒利雅先知的预言，就鼓起勇气在犹大和便雅悯全境以及他在以法莲山区夺取的各城邑铲除可憎的神像，并在耶和华殿的走廊前重修耶和华的祭坛。
9 当时，有许多以法莲人、玛拿西人和西缅人看见亚撒的上帝耶和华与他同在，就从以色列来投奔他，寄居在犹大。亚撒把他们和所有的犹大人与便雅悯人都招聚在一起。 10 亚撒执政第十五年三月，他们聚集在耶路撒冷。 11 当天，他们从掳物中取出七百头牛和七千只羊献给耶和华。 12 他们又与他们祖先的上帝耶和华立约，要全心全意地寻求祂。 13 凡不寻求以色列的上帝耶和华的，无论男女老幼，一律处死。 14 他们高声向耶和华起誓，并吹响号角。 15 犹大人都为所起的誓而欢喜快乐，因他们诚心起誓、诚意寻求耶和华，耶和华就让他们寻见，并赐他们四境平安。
16 亚撒王废除了他祖母玛迦的太后之位，因为她造了可憎的亚舍拉神像。亚撒将她的神像砍倒、打碎，烧毁在汲沦溪旁。 17 尽管他还没有把丘坛从以色列除去，但他一生对耶和华忠心。 18 他将他父亲和自己奉献给上帝的金银及器皿都带到上帝的殿里。
19 从那时直到亚撒执政第三十五年，国中都没有战争。
2 Chronicles 15
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
15 And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
3 And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without the law.
4 And when in their distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek him, they shall find him.
5 At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth.
6 For nation shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.
7 Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall be a reward for your work.
8 And when Asa had heard the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch of the Lord.
9 And he gathered together all Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.
10 And when they were come to Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
11 They sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, that they had brought, seven hundred oxen, and seven thousand rams.
12 And he went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul.
13 And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or woman.
14 And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets,
15 All that mere in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about.
16 Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron.
17 But high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
18 And the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers uses.
19 And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.
