代下16

曆代記下-2 Chronicles 第 16 章

16:1	亞撒作王第三十六年，以色列王巴沙上來攻擊猶大，修築拉瑪，不許人從猶大王亞撒那裏出入。 In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha the king of Israel went up against Judah and built Ramah that he might prevent anyone from going out or coming to Asa the king of Judah.
16:2	於是亞撒從耶和華殿和王宮的府庫裏拿出金銀來，送給住大馬色的亞蘭王便哈達，說， And Asa brought out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of Jehovah and the king's house and sent them to Ben-hadad the king of Syria who was dwelling in Damascus, saying,
16:3	你父親與我父親立約，我也與你立約。現在我將金銀送給你，你去廢掉你與以色列王巴沙所立的約，使他離開我。 There is an alliance between me and you as there was between my father and your father. I am now sending you silver and gold; go, break your alliance with Baasha the king of Israel, so that he goes away from me.
16:4	便哈達聽從亞撒王的話，派他的軍長去攻擊以色列的城邑；他們就攻破以雲、但、亞伯瑪音、和拿弗他利一切的積貨城。 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa. And he sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and they struck Ijon and Dan and Abel-maim and all the store cities of Naphtali.
16:5	巴沙聽見就停工，不修築拉瑪了。 And when Baasha heard this, he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work.
16:6	於是亞撒王帶領猶大眾人，將巴沙修築拉瑪所用的石頭、木頭都運走，用以修築迦巴和米斯巴。 And Asa the king took all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and its timber, with which Baasha had built it, and built Geba and Mizpah with them.
16:7	那時，先見哈拿尼來見猶大王亞撒，對他說，因你倚靠亞蘭王，沒有倚靠耶和華你的神，所以亞蘭王的軍兵逃脫了你的手。 And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa the king of Judah and said to him, Because you have trusted in the king of Syria and have not trusted in Jehovah your God, therefore the army of the king of Syria has escaped out of your hand.
16:8	古實人、路比人的軍隊不是甚大麼？戰車馬兵不是極多麼？隻因你倚靠耶和華，祂便將他們交在你手裏。 Were not the Cushites and the Lubim a large host, with a very great abundance of chariots and horsemen? And because you trusted in Jehovah, He gave them into your hands.
16:9	耶和華的眼目遍察全地，要加強那些心中純全向著祂的人。你這事行得愚昧；此後，你必有爭戰的事。 For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout all the earth to strengthen those whose heart is perfect toward Him. You have acted foolishly in this matter; hence from this time on you will have wars.
16:10	亞撒因此惱恨先見，向他發怒，將他囚在監裏，上了枷鎖。那時亞撒也虐待一些人民。 Then Asa became angry with the seer and put him in prison in stocks, for he was in a rage against him because of this matter. And Asa oppressed some of the people at that time.
16:11	亞撒所行的事，自始至終都寫在猶大和以色列諸王記上。 And the acts of Asa, the first and the last, are there written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
16:12	亞撒作王第三十九年，腳患了病，而且甚重；然而他即使在病中，也沒有尋求耶和華，隻尋求醫生。 And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet; his disease was very severe, yet even in his disease he pursued not Jehovah but the physicians.
16:13	亞撒作王四十一年而死，與他列祖同睡， And Asa slept with his fathers and died in the forty-first year of his reign.
16:14	人將他葬在大衛城他為自己所鑿的墳墓裏，放在床上，其床堆滿各樣香料，就是按調製香品者之法複合成的香料，又為他燒了許多的物件。 And they buried him in his own grave, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David. And they laid him in the resting place, which he had filled with various kinds of spices blended in the perfumer's art, and they made a very great burning for him.
