亞撒利雅的預言與勸勉
15 神的靈降在俄德的兒子亞撒利雅身上， 2 亞撒利雅就出來迎接亞撒，對他說：“亞撒和猶大、便雅憫所有的人哪！請聽我說。你們跟隨耶和華，耶和華就和你們同在；你們尋求他，就必給你們尋見；你們離棄他，他必離棄你們。 3 以色列人沒有真神，沒有教導他們的祭司，沒有律法，已經很久了。 4 但他們在遭難的時候，回轉歸向耶和華以色列的 神，尋求他，他就給他們尋見。 5 那時，出入的人都沒有平安，因為各國的居民都遭遇動亂。 6 這國攻擊那國，這城攻擊那城，因為 神用各樣災難使他們紛亂。 7 但你們要堅強，不要膽怯，因為你們所行的，必有賞報。”
亞撒的改革(A)
8 亞撒聽了這些話，和俄德的兒子亞撒利雅先知所說的預言以後，就勇敢起來，在猶大、便雅憫全地，以及以法蓮山地奪取的各城，把可憎的偶像除去，又在耶和華殿的走廊前面，重新修造耶和華的祭壇。 9 他又召聚了猶大和便雅憫所有的人，以及在他們中間寄居的以法蓮人、瑪拿西人、西緬人。以色列人看見了耶和華亞撒的 神和他同在，就有很多人投奔亞撒。 10 亞撒在位第十五年三月，他們聚集在耶路撒冷。 11 那一天，他們從奪回來的戰利品當中，把七百頭牛，七千隻羊，獻給耶和華為祭， 12 他們也立約，要一心一意尋求耶和華他們列祖的 神。 13 不尋求耶和華以色列的 神的，無論男女老幼，都必處死。 14 他們就大聲歡呼，吹起號角，向耶和華起誓。 15 猶大眾人都為了所起的誓快樂，因為他們一心起誓，盡意尋求耶和華，耶和華就給他們尋見，並且使他們四境安寧。
16 亞撒王也廢掉他的祖母瑪迦太后的位，因為她曾給亞舍拉做了可憎的像；亞撒把她那可憎的像砍了下來，搗得粉碎，燒在汲淪溪旁。 17 只是邱壇還沒有從以色列中除掉，但亞撒的心一生都完全忠於耶和華。 18 亞撒把他父親所分別為聖，和他自己所分別為聖的金銀和器皿，都送進 神的殿裡。 19 從那時，直到亞撒在位第三十五年，都沒有戰爭。

Asa’s Changes
15 The Spirit of God entered Azariah son of Oded. 2 Azariah went to meet Asa and said, “Listen to me, Asa and all you people of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you obey him, you will find him, but if you leave him, he will leave you. 3 For a long time Israel was without the true God and without a priest to teach them and without the teachings. 4 But when they were in trouble, they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel. They looked for him and found him. 5 In those days no one could travel safely. There was much trouble in all the nations. 6 One nation would destroy another nation, and one city would destroy another city, because God troubled them with all kinds of distress. 7 But you should be strong. Don’t give up, because you will get a reward for your good work.”
8 Asa felt brave when he heard these words and the message from Azariah son of Oded the prophet. So he removed the hateful idols from all of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the Lord’s altar that was in front of the porch of the Temple of the Lord.
9 Then Asa gathered all the people from Judah and Benjamin and from the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon who were living in Judah. Many people came to Asa even from Israel, because they saw that the Lord, Asa’s God, was with him.
10 Asa and these people gathered in Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s rule. 11 At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred bulls and seven thousand sheep and goats from the valuable things Asa’s army had taken from their enemies. 12 Then they made an agreement to obey the Lord, the God of their ancestors, with their whole being. 13 Anyone who refused to obey the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be killed. It did not matter if that person was important or unimportant, a man or woman. 14 Then Asa and the people made a promise before the Lord, shouting with a loud voice and blowing trumpets and sheep’s horns. 15 All the people of Judah were happy about the promise, because they had promised with all their heart. They looked for God and found him. So the Lord gave them peace in all the country.
16 King Asa also removed Maacah, his grandmother, from being queen mother, because she had made a terrible Asherah idol. Asa cut down that idol, smashed it into pieces, and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 17 But the places of worship to gods were not removed from Judah. Even so, Asa was faithful all his life.
18 Asa brought into the Temple of God the gifts he and his father had given: silver, gold, and utensils.
19 There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s rule.
