2 Chronicles 15
1 Forsothe Azarie, the sone of Obeth, whanne the spirit of the Lord was comyn in to hym,
神的灵感动俄德的儿子亚撒利雅。
2 yede out in to the metyng of Asa; and seide to hym, Asa and al Juda and Beniamyn, here ye me; the Lord is with you, for ye weren with hym; if ye seken hym, ye schulen fynde hym; sotheli if ye forsaken hym, he schal forsake you.
他出来迎接亚撒，对他说：“亚撒和犹大、便雅悯众人哪，要听我说：你们若顺从耶和华，耶和华必与你们同在；你们若寻求他，就必寻见；你们若离弃他，他必离弃你们。
3 Forsothe many daies schulen passe in Israel with outen veri God, and without preest, and without techere, and without lawe.
以色列人不信真神，没有训诲的祭司，也没有律法，已经好久了；
4 And whanne thei turnen ayen in her angwisch, and crien to the Lord God of Israel, and seken hym, thei schulen fynde hym.
但他们在急难的时候归向耶和华—以色列的 神，寻求他，他就被他们寻见。
5 In that tyme schal not be pees to go out and to go in, but dredis on al side on alle the dwelleris of londis.
那时，出入的人不得平安，列国的居民都遭大乱；
6 For a folk schal fiyte ayens folk, and a citee ayens a citee, for the Lord schal disturble hem in al anguysch;
这国攻击那国，这城攻击那城，互相破坏，因为 神用各样灾难扰乱他们。
7 but be ye coumfortid, and youre hondis be not slakid; for mede schal be to youre werk.
现在你们要刚强，不要手软，因你们所行的必得赏赐。”
8 And whanne Asa hadde herd this thing, that is, the wordis and profesye of Asarie, the sone of Obed, the profete, he was coumfortid, and he dide a wei alle the idols fro al the lond of Juda and of Beniamyn, and fro the citees whiche he hadde take of the hil of Effraym. And he halewide the auter of the Lord, that was bifor the porche of the hows of the Lord.
亚撒听见这话和俄德儿子先知亚撒利雅的预言，就壮起胆来，在犹大、便雅悯全地，并以法莲山地所夺的各城，将可憎之物尽都除掉，又在耶和华殿的廊前重新修筑耶和华的坛；
9 And he gaderide togidere al Juda and Beniamyn, and with hem the comelyngis of Effraym, and of Manasses, and of Symeon; for manye of Israel, seynge that his Lord God was with hym, fledden ouer to hym.
又招聚犹大、便雅悯的众人，并他们中间寄居的以法莲人、玛拿西人、西缅人。有许多以色列人归降亚撒，因见耶和华—他的 神与他同在。
10 And whanne thei hadden comun in to Jerusalem, in the thridde monethe, in the fiftenthe yeer of the rewme of Asa,
亚撒十五年三月，他们都聚集在耶路撒冷。
11 thei offriden `to the Lord in that dai, bothe of the spuylis and of the prey, which thei hadden brouyt, seuene hundrid oxis, and seuene thousynde wetheris.
当日他们从所取的掳物中，将牛七百只、羊七千只献给耶和华。
12 And Asa entride bi custom to make strong the boond of pees, that thei schulden seke the Lord God of her fadris in al her herte, and in al her soule.
他们就立约，要尽心尽性地寻求耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
13 Sotheli he seide, If ony man sekith not the Lord God of Israel, die he, fro the leeste `til to the mooste, fro man `til to womman.
凡不寻求耶和华—以色列 神的，无论大小、男女，必被治死。
14 And alle that weren in Juda sworen with cursyng to the Lord, with greet vois, in hertli song, and in sown of trumpe, and in sown of clariouns;
他们就大声欢呼，吹号吹角，向耶和华起誓。
15 for thei sworen in al her herte, and in al the wille thei souyten hym, and founden hym; and the Lord yaf to hem reste bi cumpas.
犹大众人为所起的誓欢喜；因他们是尽心起誓，尽意寻求耶和华，耶和华就被他们寻见，且赐他们四境平安。
16 But also he puttide doun Maacha, the modir of `Asa the kyng, fro the streit empire, for sche hadde made in a wode the symylacre, `ether licnesse, of a mannus yerde; and he al to-brak al `that symylacre, and pownede it in to gobetis, and `brente it in the stronde of Cedron.
亚撒王贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉。亚撒砍下她的偶像，捣得粉碎，烧在汲沦溪边。
17 But hiy places weren left in Israel; netheles the herte of Asa was riytful in alle hise daies.
只是邱坛还没有从以色列中废去，然而亚撒的心一生诚实。
18 And he brouyte in to the hows of the Lord tho thingis that his fadir avowide, siluer and gold, and dyuerse purtenaunce of vessels;
亚撒将他父所分别为圣、与自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿都奉到 神的殿里。
19 sotheli batel was not `til to the threttithe yeer of the rewme of Asa.
从这时直到亚撒三十五年，都没有争战的事。
