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。

The Reforms of Asa(A)
15 Then the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, 2 and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: The Lord is with you while you are with Him. If you all seek Him, He will be found with you. But if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. 3 For a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without law, 4 but when in their trouble they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them. 5 And at that time there was no peace to the one traveling in or out because there was a great panic on all those who dwelt in the land. 6 They were broken to pieces, nation against nation and city against city, because God confused them with every type of distress. 7 But you all must be strong and not lose heart, for there is a reward for your deeds.”
8 And when Asa heard these words of the prophecy of Azariah son of Oded the prophet, he was encouraged and removed the detestable idols from the entire land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities that he captured in the hills of Ephraim. And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was before the vestibule of the Lord.
9 And he gathered together all of Judah and Benjamin and those who had settled among them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for these had come down to him from Israel in a great number when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 These were gathered in Jerusalem in the third month in the fifteenth year in the reign of Asa. 11 They sacrificed to the Lord that day from the plunder that they brought in, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep. 12 And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and soul. 13 But whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel would be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman. 14 They swore an oath to the Lord in a loud voice, with shouting, trumpets, and horns. 15 And all Judah rejoiced over this oath because they swore with their whole heart and they sought Him with all their desire; and He was found by them, and the Lord gave them rest all around.
16 King Asa even removed his mother Maakah from being queen mother because she had made a detestable image for Asherah. Asa cut down her image, crushed it, and burned it in the Kidron Valley. 17 But they did not remove the high places from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was wholly committed all his days. 18 He brought into the house of God the sacred gifts of his father and his own sacred gifts—silver, gold, and utensils.
19 And there was no war until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
