亞撒納亞撒利雅之勸勉
15 神的靈感動俄德的兒子亞撒利雅, 2 他出來迎接亞撒,對他說:「亞撒和猶大、便雅憫眾人哪,要聽我說!你們若順從耶和華,耶和華必與你們同在。你們若尋求他,就必尋見;你們若離棄他,他必離棄你們。 3 以色列人不信真神,沒有訓誨的祭司,也沒有律法,已經好久了, 4 但他們在急難的時候歸向耶和華以色列的神,尋求他,他就被他們尋見。 5 那時,出入的人不得平安,列國的居民都遭大亂, 6 這國攻擊那國,這城攻擊那城,互相破壞,因為神用各樣災難擾亂他們。 7 現在你們要剛強,不要手軟,因你們所行的必得賞賜。」
奮志除諸可憎之物
8 亞撒聽見這話和俄德兒子先知亞撒利雅的預言,就壯起膽來,在猶大、便雅憫全地並以法蓮山地所奪的各城,將可憎之物盡都除掉,又在耶和華殿的廊前重新修築耶和華的壇。 9 又招聚猶大、便雅憫的眾人,並他們中間寄居的以法蓮人、瑪拿西人、西緬人:有許多以色列人歸降亞撒,因見耶和華他的神與他同在。 10 亞撒十五年三月,他們都聚集在耶路撒冷。 11 當日,他們從所取的擄物中將牛七百隻、羊七千隻獻給耶和華。 12 他們就立約,要盡心、盡性地尋求耶和華他們列祖的神, 13 凡不尋求耶和華以色列神的,無論大小、男女,必被治死。 14 他們就大聲歡呼,吹號吹角,向耶和華起誓。 15 猶大眾人為所起的誓歡喜。因他們是盡心起誓,盡意尋求耶和華,耶和華就被他們尋見,且賜他們四境平安。
貶祖母瑪迦之后位
16 亞撒王貶了他祖母瑪迦太后的位,因她造了可憎的偶像亞舍拉。亞撒砍下她的偶像,搗得粉碎,燒在汲淪溪邊。 17 只是丘壇還沒有從以色列中廢去,然而亞撒的心一生誠實。 18 亞撒將他父所分別為聖與自己所分別為聖的金銀和器皿,都奉到神的殿裡。 19 從這時直到亞撒三十五年,都沒有爭戰的事。

亚撒的改革
15 上帝的灵降在俄德的儿子亚撒利雅身上, 2 他便出来迎接亚撒,对他说:“亚撒啊,所有的犹大人和便雅悯人啊,请听我说!你们若顺从耶和华,祂必与你们同在。你们若寻求祂,祂必让你们寻见。你们若背弃祂,祂必离弃你们。 3 以色列人已经许久没有真神,没有祭司教导,也没有律法。 4 然而,他们在患难时归向以色列的上帝耶和华,寻求祂,祂就让他们寻见。 5 那时,人们出入不得平安,因为各地都有动乱。 6 邦国与邦国、城邑与城邑互相攻击破坏,因为上帝用各样的灾难扰乱他们。 7 但你们要刚强,不要双手发软,因为你们必因所行的而得奖赏。”
8 亚撒听了俄德的儿子亚撒利雅先知的预言,就鼓起勇气在犹大和便雅悯全境以及他在以法莲山区夺取的各城邑铲除可憎的神像,并在耶和华殿的走廊前重修耶和华的祭坛。
9 当时,有许多以法莲人、玛拿西人和西缅人看见亚撒的上帝耶和华与他同在,就从以色列来投奔他,寄居在犹大。亚撒把他们和所有的犹大人与便雅悯人都招聚在一起。 10 亚撒执政第十五年三月,他们聚集在耶路撒冷。 11 当天,他们从掳物中取出七百头牛和七千只羊献给耶和华。 12 他们又与他们祖先的上帝耶和华立约,要全心全意地寻求祂。 13 凡不寻求以色列的上帝耶和华的,无论男女老幼,一律处死。 14 他们高声向耶和华起誓,并吹响号角。 15 犹大人都为所起的誓而欢喜快乐,因他们诚心起誓、诚意寻求耶和华,耶和华就让他们寻见,并赐他们四境平安。
16 亚撒王废除了他祖母玛迦的太后之位,因为她造了可憎的亚舍拉神像。亚撒将她的神像砍倒、打碎,烧毁在汲沦溪旁。 17 尽管他还没有把丘坛从以色列除去,但他一生对耶和华忠心。 18 他将他父亲和自己奉献给上帝的金银及器皿都带到上帝的殿里。
19 从那时直到亚撒执政第三十五年,国中都没有战争。

The Prophet Azariah Warns Asa
15 Now (A)the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded, 2 and he went out [a]to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: (B)the Lord is with you when you are with Him. And (C)if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you. 3 (D)For many days Israel was without the true God and without (E)a teaching priest and without law. 4 But (F)in their distress they turned to the Lord God of Israel, and they sought Him, and He let them find Him. 5 (G)In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances [b]afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands. 6 (H)Nation was crushed by nation, and city by city, for God troubled them with every kind of distress. 7 But you, (I)be strong and do not [c]lose courage, for there is (J)reward for your work.”
Asa’s Reforms
8 Now when Asa heard these words and the [d]prophecy which Azariah the son of Oded the prophet spoke, he took courage and removed the abominable idols from all the land of Judah and Benjamin and from (K)the cities which he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. (L)He then restored the altar of the Lord which was in front of the porch of the Lord. 9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon (M)who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. 10 So they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 11 (N)They sacrificed to the Lord that day 700 oxen and 7,000 sheep from the spoil they had brought. 12 (O)They entered into the covenant to seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and soul; 13 and whoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel (P)should be put to death, whether small or great, man or woman. 14 Moreover, they made an oath to the Lord with a loud voice, with shouting, with trumpets and with horns. 15 All Judah rejoiced concerning the oath, for they had sworn with their whole heart and had sought Him [e]earnestly, and He let them find Him. So (Q)the Lord gave them rest on every side.
16 (R)He also removed Maacah, the mother of King Asa, from the position of queen mother, because she had made a horrid image [f]as (S)an Asherah, and (T)Asa cut down her horrid image, crushed it and burned it at the brook Kidron. 17 But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa’s heart was blameless all his days. 18 He brought into the house of God the dedicated things of his father and his own dedicated things: silver and gold and utensils. 19 And there was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.

Asa’s Reform(A)
15 The Spirit of God came on(B) Azariah son of Oded. 2 He went out to meet Asa and said to him, “Listen to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you(C) when you are with him.(D) If you seek(E) him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.(F) 3 For a long time Israel was without the true God, without a priest to teach(G) and without the law.(H) 4 But in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought him,(I) and he was found by them. 5 In those days it was not safe to travel about,(J) for all the inhabitants of the lands were in great turmoil. 6 One nation was being crushed by another and one city by another,(K) because God was troubling them with every kind of distress. 7 But as for you, be strong(L) and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.”(M)
8 When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah son of[a] Oded the prophet, he took courage. He removed the detestable idols(N) from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin and from the towns he had captured(O) in the hills of Ephraim. He repaired the altar(P) of the Lord that was in front of the portico of the Lord’s temple.
9 Then he assembled all Judah and Benjamin and the people from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who had settled among them, for large numbers(Q) had come over to him from Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
10 They assembled at Jerusalem in the third month(R) of the fifteenth year of Asa’s reign. 11 At that time they sacrificed to the Lord seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep and goats from the plunder(S) they had brought back. 12 They entered into a covenant(T) to seek the Lord,(U) the God of their ancestors, with all their heart and soul. 13 All who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, were to be put to death,(V) whether small or great, man or woman. 14 They took an oath to the Lord with loud acclamation, with shouting and with trumpets and horns. 15 All Judah rejoiced about the oath because they had sworn it wholeheartedly. They sought God(W) eagerly, and he was found by them. So the Lord gave them rest(X) on every side.
16 King Asa also deposed his grandmother Maakah(Y) from her position as queen mother,(Z) because she had made a repulsive image for the worship of Asherah.(AA) Asa cut it down, broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley.(AB) 17 Although he did not remove the high places from Israel, Asa’s heart was fully committed to the Lord all his life. 18 He brought into the temple of God the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.(AC)
19 There was no more war until the thirty-fifth year of Asa’s reign.
