历代志下 16
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以色列王巴沙进攻犹大(A)
16 亚撒在位第三十六年,以色列王巴沙上来攻打犹大,修筑拉玛,不许人离开或进入犹大王亚撒的国境。 2 于是亚撒从耶和华的殿和王宫的库房里取出金银来,送给住在大马士革的亚兰王便.哈达,说: 3 “你父亲和我父亲曾经立约,你和我也要立约。现在我把金银送给你,请你去废除你和以色列王巴沙订立的约,好使他离开我而去。” 4 便.哈达听从了亚撒王的话,就派遣他属下的众军长去攻击以色列的城市,他们攻陷了以云、但、亚伯.玛音和拿弗他利一切贮藏货物的城市。 5 巴沙听见了,就停止修筑拉玛,把工程都停止了。 6 于是亚撒王带领犹大众人,把巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头和木材都搬走,用来修筑迦巴和米斯巴。
先见哈拿尼责备亚撒
7 那时,先见哈拿尼来见犹大王亚撒,对他说:“因你倚靠亚兰王,没有倚靠耶和华你的 神,所以亚兰王的军队才可以脱离你的手。 8 古实人和路比人不是有强大的军队吗?战车和马兵不是极多吗?只因你倚靠耶和华,耶和华就把他们交在你手里。 9 耶和华的眼目遍察全地,一心归向他的,他必以大能扶助他们;你作这事太愚昧了。从今以后,你必常有战争。” 10 于是亚撒对先见发怒,把他囚在监里,因为亚撒为了这事很恼怒他。同时亚撒也压迫人民。
亚撒逝世(B)
11 亚撒所行的事迹,一生的始末,都记在犹大和以色列诸王记上。 12 亚撒在位第三十九年,患了脚病,病情严重;可是,连他患病的时候,也没有寻求耶和华,只管寻求医生。 13 亚撒作王四十一年以后死了,和他的列祖同睡。 14 人把他埋葬在大卫城里他为自己所凿的坟墓中。他们把他放在堆满按著作香的方法调和的各样香料的床上,又为他烧了很多香料。

Asa’s Treaty with Aram
16 In the thirty-sixth year of Asa,(A) Israel’s King Baasha went to war against Judah. He built Ramah in order to keep anyone from leaving or coming to King Asa of Judah. 2 So Asa brought out the silver and gold from the treasuries of the Lord’s temple and the royal palace and sent it to Aram’s King Ben-hadad, who lived in Damascus, saying, 3 “There’s a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you silver and gold. Go break your treaty with Israel’s King Baasha so that he will withdraw from me.”
4 Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies to the cities of Israel. They attacked Ijon, Dan, Abel-maim,[a] and all the storage cities[b] of Naphtali. 5 When Baasha heard about it, he quit building Ramah and stopped his work. 6 Then King Asa brought all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had built it with. Then he built Geba and Mizpah with them.
Hanani’s Rebuke of Asa
7 At that time, the seer Hanani(B) came to King Asa of Judah and said to him, “Because you depended on the king of Aram and have not depended on the Lord your God,(C) the army of the king of Aram has escaped from you. 8 Were not the Cushites and Libyans a vast army with many chariots and horsemen?(D) When you depended on the Lord, he handed them over to you.(E) 9 For the eyes of the Lord roam throughout the earth(F) to show himself strong for those who are wholeheartedly devoted to him.(G) You have been foolish in this matter. Therefore, you will have wars from now on.” 10 Asa was enraged with the seer and put him in prison[c] because of his anger over this. And Asa mistreated some of the people at that time.
Asa’s Death
11 Note that the events(H) of Asa’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel. 12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa developed a disease in his feet, and his disease became increasingly severe. Yet even in his disease he didn’t seek the Lord but only the physicians. 13 Asa rested with his ancestors; he died in the forty-first year of his reign. 14 He was buried in his own tomb that he had made for himself in the city of David. They laid him out in a coffin that was full of spices and various mixtures of prepared ointments;(I) then they made a great fire in his honor.(J)
