犹大王亚哈斯
28 亚哈斯二十岁登基,在耶路撒冷执政十六年。他没有效法他祖先大卫做耶和华视为正的事, 2 反而步以色列诸王的后尘,又铸造巴力神像。 3 他不但在欣嫩子谷烧香,还效法耶和华在以色列人面前赶走的外族人的可憎行径,焚烧自己的儿子作祭物。 4 他还在丘坛、山冈和绿树下献祭烧香。
与亚兰和以色列交战
5 因此,他的上帝耶和华把他交在亚兰王手中,亚兰王就打败他,把他的许多人民掳到大马士革。他也被交在以色列王手中,损失惨重。 6 利玛利的儿子比加一天之内杀了犹大十二万勇士,因为他们背弃了他们祖先的上帝耶和华。 7 以法莲的勇士细基利杀了王子玛西雅、宫廷总管押斯利甘和宰相以利加拿。 8 以色列军队从他们的犹大同胞中掳走了二十万妇孺,同时也将大量战利品带回撒玛利亚。
俄德先知
9 撒玛利亚有一位耶和华的先知名叫俄德,他出城去迎接班师回来的军队,说:“看啊,你们祖先的上帝耶和华向犹大发怒,才将他们交在你们手中。你们竟怒气冲天,对他们大加杀戮。 10 现在你们竟还想让犹大和耶路撒冷的男女做你们的仆俾。你们岂不也得罪你们的上帝耶和华吗? 11 你们还是听我的忠告,释放你们掳来的同胞,让他们回去吧!因为耶和华的烈怒已经临到你们了。”
12 约哈难的儿子亚撒利雅、米实利末的儿子比利迦、沙龙的儿子耶希西迦和哈得莱的儿子亚玛撒四位以法莲族长起来阻挡从战场回来的军队, 13 说:“你们不可把这些俘虏带进来,我们的罪已经够重了,耶和华的烈怒已经临到以色列人,不要再得罪耶和华,加重我们的罪恶了。” 14 于是,士兵们便把俘虏和战利品交给众首领和民众。 15 那些以法莲族长就上前照顾俘虏,从战利品中拿出衣服和鞋子给那些赤身露体的俘虏穿上,供应他们吃喝,又给他们的伤口抹上油,让软弱的骑驴。他们把所有的俘虏送到棕树城耶利哥他们的亲族那里,随后返回撒玛利亚。
亚哈斯向亚述王求援
16 那时,亚哈斯王派人到亚述王那里求援。 17 原来以东人又来攻打犹大,掳掠民众。 18 非利士人也入侵丘陵和犹大南方的城镇,攻占了伯·示麦、亚雅仑、基低罗,以及梭哥、亭拿、瑾锁和三城周围的村庄,并住在那里。 19 耶和华使犹大衰微,因为以色列王[a]亚哈斯在犹大肆无忌惮,悖逆耶和华。 20 亚述王提革拉·毗列色来到犹大后,不但不救他,反而压迫他。 21 亚哈斯从耶和华的殿里、王宫和官员家中取财宝送给亚述王,但无济于事。
亚哈斯的恶行
22 亚哈斯在患难时越发悖逆耶和华, 23 竟去祭拜打败他的大马士革人的神明,说:“既然亚兰王的神明帮助了亚兰人,我要向这些神明献祭,以便它们帮助我。”但那些神明导致了他和全体以色列人的灭亡。 24 亚哈斯将耶和华上帝殿里的器皿收集起来打碎,封锁殿门,并在耶路撒冷的每个角落为自己设立祭坛。 25 他还在犹大各城建立丘坛,向其他神明烧香,惹他祖先的上帝耶和华发怒。 26 亚哈斯其他的事及所作所为自始至终都记在犹大和以色列的列王史上。 27 亚哈斯与祖先同眠后,葬在耶路撒冷城中,但没有葬在以色列的王陵。他儿子希西迦继位。

Chinese New Version (Simplified)
亚哈斯作犹大王(A)
28 亚哈斯登基的时候,是二十岁;他在耶路撒冷作王十六年。他不像他的祖先大卫一样,行耶和华看为正的事, 2 他却随从以色列诸王的道路,又为巴力铸造偶像; 3 并且在欣嫩子谷烧香,用火焚烧自己的儿女,像耶和华在以色列人面前驱走的外族人所行可厌恶的事一样; 4 又在邱坛上、山冈上和各青翠树下,献祭烧香。
亚哈斯被亚兰王所败(B)
5 因此,耶和华他的 神把他交在亚兰王手里;亚兰王击败了他,掳走了他很多人民,带到大马士革去。 神又把他交在以色列王手里,以色列王就在犹大进行大屠杀。 6 利玛利的儿子比加在犹大一天之内杀了十二万人,全是勇士,因为他们离弃了耶和华他们列祖的 神。 7 有一个以法莲的勇士,名叫细基利,杀了王的儿子玛西雅、王宫的总管押斯利甘和王的宰相以利加拿。
以色列人俘掳犹大人
8 以色列人从他们的兄弟中掳走妇孺共二十万人;又从他们中间夺取了很多战利品,带回撒玛利亚去。 9 那里有一位耶和华的先知名叫俄德,出来迎接回到撒玛利亚来的军队,对他们说:“耶和华你们列祖的 神因为恼怒犹大人,才把他们交在你们手里,你们却怒气冲天,杀戮了他们。 10 现在你们又想强迫犹大人和耶路撒冷人作你们的奴婢。难道你们自己就没有得罪耶和华你们的 神吗? 11 你们现在要听我的话,把你们掳回来的兄弟释放回去,因为耶和华的震怒已经临到你们身上了。” 12 于是以法莲人的几个首领,就是约哈难的儿子亚撒利雅、米实利末的儿子比利家、沙龙的儿子耶希西家和哈得莱的儿子亚玛撒,起来阻挡从战场回来的军队, 13 对他们说:“你们不可把这些俘虏带进来,因为我们已经得罪了耶和华,你们想增加我们的罪恶和过犯,我们的过犯实在严重,耶和华的震怒临到以色列人身上了。” 14 于是,军队把俘虏和战利品都留在众领袖和全体会众的面前。 15 上面提过的那些人就起来,领走那些俘虏,从战利品中拿出衣服给所有赤身的穿著,给他们穿上鞋,给他们吃喝,又给他们抹油,又把所有疲弱的人放在驴子上,把他们送回棕树城耶利哥他们的兄弟那里,然后就回撒玛利亚去了。
亚哈斯向亚述王求助(C)
16 那时,亚哈斯王派人去求亚述王(按照《马索拉文本》的绝大部分抄本,“王”作“诸王”;现参照另一份抄本和各古译本翻译;参20节和王下16:7)帮助他, 17 因为以东人又来攻打犹大,掳走了许多人。 18 非利士人也侵入了高原和犹大南面的众城,占领了伯.示麦、亚雅仑、基低罗、梭哥和属于梭哥的村庄,亭纳和属于亭纳的村庄,瑾琐和属于瑾琐的村庄,并且住在那里。 19 因为犹大王亚哈斯在犹大放纵邪恶,大大地冒犯了耶和华,所以耶和华使犹大卑微。 20 亚述王提革拉.毘尼色来到他那里,不但没有援助他,反倒欺压他。 21 亚哈斯取了耶和华殿里和王宫中,以及众领袖家里的财宝,给了亚述王,但也无济于事。
向大马士革的神献祭
22 这亚哈斯王在急难的时候,竟越发冒犯耶和华。 23 他向击败了他的大马士革的神献祭,说:“亚兰王的神帮助了他们,我也向它们献祭,使它们也帮助我。”它们却使他和以色列人灭亡。 24 亚哈斯把神殿里的器皿收集起来,把这些神殿里的器皿都击碎了,又封闭了耶和华殿的各门,并且在耶路撒冷的各个角落建造祭坛。 25 他又在犹大各城建造邱坛,向别的神烧香,惹怒他列祖的 神。
亚哈斯逝世
26 亚哈斯其余的事迹和他一切所行的,以及一生的始末,都记在犹大和以色列诸王记上。 27 亚哈斯和他的列祖同睡,埋葬在耶路撒冷城里,但没有葬在以色列诸王的陵墓里。他的儿子希西家接续他作王。
2 Chronicles 28
New Century Version
Ahaz King of Judah
28 Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he ruled sixteen years in Jerusalem. Unlike his ancestor David, he did not do what the Lord said was right. 2 Ahaz did the same things the kings of Israel had done. He made metal idols to worship Baal. 3 He burned incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and made his children pass through the fire. He did the same hateful sins as the nations had done whom the Lord had forced out of the land ahead of the Israelites. 4 Ahaz offered sacrifices and burned incense at the places where gods were worshiped, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 So the Lord his God handed over Ahaz to the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated Ahaz and took many people of Judah as prisoners to Damascus.
He also handed over Ahaz to Pekah king of Israel, and Pekah’s army killed many soldiers of Ahaz. 6 The army of Pekah son of Remaliah killed one hundred twenty thousand brave soldiers from Judah in one day. Pekah defeated them because they had left the Lord, the God of their ancestors. 7 Zicri, a warrior from Ephraim, killed King Ahaz’s son Maaseiah. He also killed Azrikam, the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, who was second in command to the king. 8 The Israelite army captured two hundred thousand of their own relatives. They took women, sons and daughters, and many valuable things from Judah and carried them back to Samaria. 9 But a prophet of the Lord named Oded was there. He met the Israelite army when it returned to Samaria and said to them, “The Lord, the God of your ancestors, handed Judah over to you, because he was angry with those people. But God has seen the cruel way you killed them. 10 Now you plan to make the people of Judah and Jerusalem your slaves, but you also have sinned against the Lord your God. 11 Now listen to me. Send back your brothers and sisters whom you captured, because the Lord is very angry with you.”
12 Then some of the leaders in Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berekiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai—met the Israelite soldiers coming home from war. 13 They warned the soldiers, “Don’t bring the prisoners from Judah here. If you do, we will be guilty of sin against the Lord, and that will make our sin and guilt even worse. Our guilt is already so great that he is angry with Israel.”
14 So the soldiers left the prisoners and valuable things in front of the officers and people there. 15 The leaders who were named took the prisoners and gave those who were naked the clothes that the Israelite army had taken. They gave the prisoners clothes, sandals, food, drink, and medicine. They put the weak prisoners on donkeys and took them back to their families in Jericho, the city of palm trees. Then they returned home to Samaria.
16-17 At that time the Edomites came again and attacked Judah and carried away prisoners. So King Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria for help. 18 The Philistines also robbed the towns in the western hills and in southern Judah. They captured the towns of Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco, Timnah, and Gimzo, and the villages around them. Then the Philistines lived in those towns. 19 The Lord brought trouble on Judah because Ahaz their king led the people of Judah to sin, and he was unfaithful to the Lord. 20 Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to Ahaz, but he gave Ahaz trouble instead of help. 21 Ahaz took some valuable things from the Temple of the Lord, from the palace, and from the princes, and he gave them to the king of Assyria, but it did not help.
22 During Ahaz’s troubles he was even more unfaithful to the Lord. 23 He offered sacrifices to the gods of the people of Damascus, who had defeated him. He thought, “The gods of the kings of Aram helped them. If I offer sacrifices to them, they will help me also.” But this brought ruin to Ahaz and all Israel.
24 Ahaz gathered the things from the Temple of God and broke them into pieces. Then he closed the doors of the Temple of the Lord. He made altars and put them on every street corner in Jerusalem. 25 In every town in Judah, Ahaz made places for burning sacrifices to worship other gods. So he made the Lord, the God of his ancestors, very angry.
26 The other things Ahaz did as king, from beginning to end, are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel. 27 Ahaz died and was buried in the city of Jerusalem, but not in the graves of the kings of Israel. Ahaz’s son Hezekiah became king in his place.
