2 Chronicles 14
1 So Abiiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, and Asa his sonne reigned in his steade: in whose dayes the lande was quiet ten yeere.
亞比雅與他列祖同睡，葬在大衛城裏。他兒子亞撒接續他作王。亞撒年間，國中太平十年。
2 And Asa did that was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God.
亞撒行耶和華－他上帝眼中看為善為正的事，
3 For he tooke away the altars of the strange gods and the hie places, and brake downe the images, and cut downe the groues,
除掉外邦神的壇和邱壇，打碎柱像，砍下木偶，
4 And commanded Iudah to seeke the Lord God of their fathers, and to doe according to the Lawe and the comandement.
吩咐猶大人尋求耶和華－他們列祖的上帝，遵行他的律法、誡命；
5 And he tooke away out of all the cities of Iudah the hie places, and the images: therefore the kingdome was quiet before him.
又在猶大各城邑除掉邱壇和日像，那時國享太平；
6 He built also strong cities in Iudah, because the lande was in rest, and he had no warre in those yeeres: for the Lord had giuen him rest.
又在猶大建造了幾座堅固城。國中太平數年，沒有戰爭，因為耶和華賜他平安。
7 Therefore he saide to Iudah, Let vs builde these cities and make walles about, and towers, gates, and barres, whiles the lande is before vs: because we haue sought the Lord our God, we haue sought him, and he hath giuen vs rest on euery side: so they built and prospered.
他對猶大人說：「我們要建造這些城邑，四圍築牆，蓋樓，安門，做閂；地還屬我們，是因尋求耶和華－我們的上帝；我們既尋求他，他就賜我們四境平安。」於是建造城邑，諸事亨通。
8 And Asa had an armie of Iudah that bare shieldes and speares, three hundreth thousande, and of Beniamin that bare shieldes and drewe bowes, two hundreth and foure score thousande: all these were valiant men.
亞撒的軍兵，出自猶大拿盾牌拿槍的三十萬人；出自便雅憫拿盾牌拉弓的二十八萬人。這都是大能的勇士。
9 And there came out against them Zerah of Ethiopia with an hoste of ten hundreth thousande, and three hundreth charets, and came vnto Mareshah.
有古實王謝拉率領軍兵一百萬，戰車三百輛，出來攻擊猶大人，到了瑪利沙。
10 Then Asa went out before him, and they set the battell in aray in the valley of Zephathah beside Mareshah.
於是亞撒出去與他迎敵，就在瑪利沙的洗法谷彼此擺陣。
11 And Asa cryed vnto the Lord his God, and saide, Lord, it is nothing with thee to helpe with many, or with no power: helpe vs, O Lord our God: for we rest on thee, and in thy Name are we come against this multitude: O Lord, thou art our God, let not man preuaile against thee.
亞撒呼求耶和華－他的上帝說：「耶和華啊，惟有你能幫助軟弱的，勝過強盛的。耶和華－我們的上帝啊，求你幫助我們；因為我們仰賴你，奉你的名來攻擊這大軍。耶和華啊，你是我們的上帝，不要容人勝過你。」
12 So the Lord smote the Ethiopians before Asa and before Iudah, and the Ethiopians fled.
於是耶和華使古實人敗在亞撒和猶大人面前，古實人就逃跑了；
13 And Asa and the people that was with him, pursued them vnto Gerar. And the Ethiopians hoste was ouerthrowen, so that there was no life in them: for they were destroyed before the Lord and before his hoste: and they caryed away a mightie great spoyle.
亞撒和跟隨他的軍兵追趕他們，直到基拉耳。古實人被殺的甚多，不能再強盛，因為敗在耶和華與他軍兵面前。猶大人就奪了許多財物，
14 And they smote all the cities rounde about Gerar: for the feare of the Lord came vpon them, and they spoyled all the cities, for there was exceeding much spoyle in them.
又打破基拉耳四圍的城邑；耶和華使其中的人都甚恐懼。猶大人又將所有的城擄掠一空，因其中的財物甚多，
15 Yea, and they smote the tents of cattel, and carried away plentie of sheepe and camels, and returned to Ierusalem.
又毀壞了群畜的圈，奪取許多的羊和駱駝，就回耶路撒冷去了。
