代下14

曆代記下-2 Chronicles 第 14 章

14:1	亞比雅與他列祖同睡，人把他葬在大衛城裏。他兒子亞撒接續他作王。亞撒在位的日子，那地太平十年。 And Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.
14:2	亞撒行耶和華他神眼中看為善為正的事， And Asa did what was good and upright in the sight of Jehovah his God;
14:3	除掉外邦神的壇和邱壇，打碎柱像，砍下木像， For he removed the foreign altars and the high places and smashed the pillars and hewed down the Asherahs,
14:4	吩咐猶大人尋求耶和華他們列祖的神，遵行祂的律法和誡命。 And he commanded Judah to pursue Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and perform the law and the commandment.
14:5	他從猶大各城邑除掉邱壇和香壇。在他麵前國享太平。 And from all the cities of Judah he removed the high places and the incense altars. And the kingdom was quiet before him.
14:6	他在猶大建造了幾座堅固城。那地太平，那些年間沒有戰爭，因為耶和華使他得安息。 And he built fortress cities in Judah; for the land was quiet and there was no war against him during those years, because Jehovah had given him rest.
14:7	他對猶大人說，我們要建造這些城邑，四圍築牆，蓋樓，安門，作閂；地還屬我們，是因我們尋求耶和華我們的神；我們既尋求祂，祂就使我們四圍得安息。於是他們建造城邑，諸事亨通。 For he said to Judah, Let us build these cities and put around them walls with towers, gates, and bars. The land is still before us because we have pursued Jehovah our God; we have pursued Him, and He has given us rest all around. So they built and prospe
14:8	亞撒的軍兵，出自猶大的，有拿擋牌、拿槍的三十萬人，出自便雅憫的，有拿盾牌、拉弓的二十八萬人；這些都是大能的勇士。 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand from Judah who bore shields and spears and of two hundred eighty thousand from Benjamin who bore hand shields and drew bows; all these were mighty men of valor.
14:9	古實人謝拉率領軍兵一百萬，戰車三百輛，出來攻擊猶大人，來到瑪利沙。 And Zerah the Cushite went out to them with an army of one million men and three hundred chariots, and he came to Mareshah.
14:10	亞撒出去迎戰，他們就在瑪利沙的洗法穀擺陣。 And Asa went out before him and set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.
14:11	亞撒呼求耶和華他的神，說，耶和華阿，我們或是有能，或是無力，除你以外，沒有誰能幫助我們。耶和華我們的神阿，求你幫助我們，因為我們信靠你，在你的名裏來攻擊這軍眾。耶和華阿，你是我們的神，不要讓人勝過你。 And Asa called out to Jehovah his God and said, O Jehovah, there is none besides You to help us, between the mighty and those without strength. Help us, O Jehovah our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name we have come against this multitude. O Jehovah, You are our God; do not let mortal man prevail against You.
14:12	於是耶和華在亞撒和猶大人麵前擊敗古實人，古實人就逃跑了。 And Jehovah struck the Cushites before Asa and before Judah, and the Cushites fled.
14:13	亞撒和跟隨他的百姓追趕他們，直到基拉耳；古實人倒斃的甚多，不能再強盛，因為他們潰敗在耶和華與祂軍兵麵前。猶大人就奪了許多財物， And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar; and so many of the Cushites fell that they could not recover, for they were shattered before Jehovah and before His army. And they carried away very much spoil.
14:14	又擊破基拉耳四圍的一切城邑，因為耶和華使其中的人都甚恐懼。猶大人又將所有的城掠奪一空，因其中可掠奪的財物甚多。 And they struck all the cities surrounding Gerar, for the fear of Jehovah was upon them. And they plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them.
14:15	他們又擊破群畜的棚，奪取許多的羊和駱駝，就回耶路撒冷去了。 And they also struck the cattle tents and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and they returned to Jerusalem.
