历代志下 14
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
亞撒作猶大王(A)
14 亞比雅和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在大衛城裡，他的兒子亞撒接續他作王。亞撒在世的日子，國中太平了十年。（本節在《馬索拉文本》為13:23）
2 亞撒行耶和華他的 神看為善為正的事。（本節在《馬索拉文本》為14:1） 3 他除掉外族人的祭壇和邱壇，打斷神柱，砍下亞舍拉， 4 吩咐猶大人尋求耶和華他們列祖的 神，遵行他的律法和誡命。 5 他又在猶大各城中，除掉邱壇和香壇。那時全國在他的統治下享受太平。 6 他又在猶大建造了幾座設防城，因為國中太平，多年沒有戰爭，耶和華使他享受安寧。 7 他對猶大人說：“我們要建造這些城，在四周築牆，建造城樓，安設城門，製作門閂。這地還屬於我們，是因為我們尋求耶和華我們的 神；我們既然尋求他，他就使我們四境平安。”於是他們興工建造，事事順利。 8 亞撒的軍隊，拿大盾牌和矛槍的猶大人，共有三十萬；拿小盾牌和拉弓的便雅憫人，共有二十八萬；他們都是英勇的戰士。
亞撒戰勝古實人謝拉
9 那時有古實人謝拉率領一百萬軍隊，戰車三百輛，前來攻打猶大人；他來到了瑪利沙。 10 於是亞撒出去迎戰；他們就在瑪利沙的洗法谷列陣相對。 11 亞撒呼求耶和華他的 神說：“耶和華啊，強弱懸殊，除你以外沒有別的幫助。耶和華我們的 神啊，求你幫助我們。因為我們倚靠你，奉你的名去對抗這大軍。耶和華啊，你是我們的 神，不要讓人勝過你。” 12 於是耶和華在亞撒和猶大人面前，使古實人大敗，古實人就逃跑。 13 亞撒和跟隨他的人民追趕他們，直到基拉耳；古實人被殺的很多，不能恢復強盛；因為他們在耶和華和他的軍隊面前被擊潰了；猶大人奪取了極多戰利品。 14 他們又攻擊基拉耳周圍的一切城市，因為各城的人都懼怕耶和華。猶大人又把各城洗掠一空，因為城中的財物甚多。 15 他們又毀壞了牲畜的棚，牽走了很多的羊和駱駝，然後回耶路撒冷去了。

亚撒王击败古实人
14 亚比雅与祖先同眠后，葬在大卫城中，他儿子亚撒继位。亚撒执政期间，国中太平十年。 2 亚撒做他的上帝耶和华看为好、视为正的事， 3 拆除外族神明的丘坛和神庙，打碎神柱，砍倒亚舍拉神像， 4 命令犹大人寻求他们祖先的上帝耶和华，遵行祂的律法和诫命。 5 他除掉犹大各城邑的丘坛和香坛，那时国中太平。 6 他还在犹大修筑坚城，那些年国中太平，没有战事，因为耶和华赐他平安。 7 他对犹大人说：“我们要修筑城邑，在四周建造城墙和望楼，装置大门和门闩。我们仍拥有这片土地，是因为我们寻求我们的上帝耶和华；我们寻求祂，祂就赐我们四境平安。”于是，他们修筑城邑，凡事顺利。 8 亚撒的军队中有三十万持大盾牌和矛枪的犹大人，二十八万持小盾牌和弓箭的便雅悯人。他们都是英勇的战士。
9 古实王谢拉率领一百万大军和三百辆战车攻打犹大，到了玛利沙。 10 亚撒出兵迎敌，双方在玛利沙的洗法谷摆开阵势。 11 亚撒呼求他的上帝耶和华说：“耶和华啊，唯有你才能帮助弱小的胜过强大的。我们的上帝耶和华啊，求你帮助我们，因为我们依靠你，奉你的名迎战这大军。耶和华啊，你是我们的上帝，不要让人胜过你。”
12 于是，耶和华使古实人败在亚撒和犹大人面前，古实人溃逃。 13 亚撒率领军队乘胜追击，直追到基拉耳。古实人在耶和华和祂的军兵面前大败，伤亡惨重，一蹶不振。犹大人掳走了许多财物， 14 攻陷了基拉耳四周的城邑，因为这些城里的人都惧怕耶和华。他们洗劫各城，因为城中有大量财物。 15 他们毁坏牲畜的围栏，抢走许多羊和骆驼，然后返回耶路撒冷。
2 Chronicles 14
Living Bible
14 King Abijah was buried in Jerusalem. Then his son Asa became the new king of Judah, and there was peace in the land for the first ten years of his reign, 2 for Asa was careful to obey the Lord his God. 3 He demolished the heathen altars on the hills, and broke down the obelisks, and chopped down the shameful Asherim idols, 4 and demanded that the entire nation obey the commandments of the Lord God of their ancestors. 5 Also, he removed the sun images from the hills and the incense altars from every one of Judah’s cities. That is why God gave his kingdom peace. 6 This made it possible for him to build walled cities throughout Judah.
7 “Now is the time to do it, while the Lord is blessing us with peace because of our obedience to him,” he told his people. “Let us build and fortify cities now, with walls, towers, gates, and bars.” So they went ahead with these projects very successfully.
8 King Asa’s Judean army was 300,000 strong, equipped with light shields and spears. His army of Benjaminites numbered 280,000, armed with large shields and bows. Both armies were composed of well-trained, brave men.
9-10 But now he was attacked by an army of 1,000,000 troops from Ethiopia with 300 chariots, under the leadership of General Zerah. They advanced to the city of Mareshah, in the valley of Zephathah, and King Asa sent his troops to battle with them there.
11 “O Lord,” he cried out to God, “no one else can help us! Here we are, powerless against this mighty army. Oh, help us, Lord our God! For we trust in you alone to rescue us, and in your name we attack this vast horde. Don’t let mere men defeat you!”
12 Then the Lord defeated the Ethiopians, and Asa and the army of Judah triumphed as the Ethiopians fled. 13 They chased them as far as Gerar, and the entire Ethiopian army was wiped out so that not one man remained; for the Lord and his army destroyed them all. Then the army of Judah carried off vast quantities of plunder. 14 While they were at Gerar they attacked all the cities in that area, and terror from the Lord came upon the residents. As a result, additional vast quantities of plunder were collected from these cities too. 15 They not only plundered the cities but destroyed the cattle tents and captured great herds of sheep and camels before finally returning to Jerusalem.
