旧约--历代记下(2 Chronicles)21-30章

旧约--历代记下(2 Chronicles)--第 21 章
21:1 约沙法与他列祖同睡,葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子约兰接续他作王。
Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
 
21:2 约兰有几个兄弟,就是约沙法的儿子亚撒利雅,耶歇,撒迦利雅,亚撒利雅,米迦勒,示法提雅。这都是犹大王约沙法的儿子。
And he had brethren the sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah: all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.
 
21:3 他们的父亲将许多金银,财宝,和犹大地的坚固城赐给他们。但将国赐给约兰,因为他是长子。
And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram; because he was the firstborn.
 
21:4 约兰兴起坐他父的位,奋勇自强,就用刀杀了他的众兄弟和以色列的几个首领。
Now when Jehoram was risen up to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.
 
21:5 约兰登基的时候年三十二岁,在耶路撒冷作王八年。
Jehoram was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
 
21:6 他行以色列诸王的道,与亚哈家一样。因他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻,行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。
And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife: and he wrought that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD.
 
21:7 耶和华却因自己与大卫所立的约,不肯灭大卫的家,照他所应许的,永远赐灯光与大卫和他的子孙。
Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
 
21:8 约兰年间,以东人背叛犹大,脱离他的权下,自己立王。
In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
 
21:9 约兰就率领军长和所有的战车,夜间起来,攻击围困他的以东人和车兵长。
Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites which compassed him in, and the captains of the chariots.
 
21:10 这样,以东人背叛犹大,脱离他的权下,直到今日。那时,立拿人也背叛了,因为约兰离弃耶和华他列祖的神。
So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. The same time also did Libnah revolt from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD God of his fathers.
 
21:11 他又在犹大诸山建筑邱坛,使耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫,诱惑犹大人。
Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah thereto.
 
21:12 先知以利亚达信与约兰说,耶和华你祖大卫的神如此说,因为你不行你父约沙法和犹大王亚撒的道,
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
 
21:13 乃行以色列诸王的道,使犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民行邪淫,像亚哈家一样,又杀了你父家比你好的诸兄弟。
But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, which were better than thyself:
 
21:14 故此,耶和华降大灾与你的百姓和你的妻子,儿女,并你一切所有的。
Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
 
21:15 你的肠子必患病,日加沉重,以致你的肠子坠落下来。
And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
 
21:16 以后,耶和华激动非利士人和靠近古实的阿拉伯人来攻击约兰。
Moreover the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that were near the Ethiopians:
 
21:17 他们上来攻击犹大,侵入境内,掳掠了王宫里所有的财货和他的妻子,儿女,除了他小儿子约哈斯(又名亚哈谢)之外,没有留下一个儿子。
And they came up into Judah, and brake into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.
 
21:18 这些事以后,耶和华使约兰的肠子患不能医治的病。
And after all this the LORD smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
 
21:19 他患此病缠绵日久,过了二年,肠子坠落下来,病重而死。他的民没有为他烧什么物件,像从前为他列祖所烧的一样。
And it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of sore diseases. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers.
 
21:20 约兰登基的时候年三十二岁,在耶路撒冷作王八年。他去世无人思慕,众人葬他在大卫城,只是不在列王的坟墓里。
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years, and departed without being desired. Howbeit they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
旧约--历代记下(2 Chronicles)--第 22 章
22:1 耶路撒冷的居民立约兰的小儿子亚哈谢接续他作王。因为跟随阿拉伯人来攻营的军兵曾杀了亚哈谢的众兄长。这样,犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢作了王。
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead: for the band of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
 
22:2 亚哈谢登基的时候年四十二岁(列王下八章二十六节作二十二岁),在耶路撒冷作王一年。他母亲名叫亚他利雅,是暗利的孙女。
Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
 
22:3 亚哈谢也行亚哈家的道。因为他母亲给他主谋,使他行恶。
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab: for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
 
22:4 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,像亚哈家一样。因他父亲死后有亚哈家的人给他主谋,以致败坏。
Wherefore he did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellors after the death of his father to his destruction.
 
22:5 他听从亚哈家的计谋,同以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰往基列的拉末去,与亚兰王哈薛争战。亚兰人打伤了约兰。
He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramothgilead: and the Syrians smote Joram.
 
22:6 约兰回到耶斯列,医治在拉末与亚兰王哈薛打仗所受的伤,犹大王约兰的儿子亚撒利雅(即亚哈谢)因为亚哈的儿子约兰病了,就下到耶斯列看望他。
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds which were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jezreel, because he was sick.
 
22:7 亚哈谢去见约兰就被害了,这是出乎神。因为他到了,就同约兰出去攻击宁示的孙子耶户。这耶户是耶和华所膏,使他剪除亚哈家的。
And the destruction of Ahaziah was of God by coming to Joram: for when he was come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
 
22:8 耶户讨亚哈家罪的时候,遇见犹大的众首领和亚哈谢的众侄子服事亚哈谢,就把他们都杀了。
And it came to pass, that, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that ministered to Ahaziah, he slew them.
 
22:9 亚哈谢藏在撒马利亚,耶户寻梢他,众人将他拿住,送到耶户那里,就杀了他,将他葬埋。因他们说,他是那尽心寻求耶和华之约沙法的儿子。这样,亚哈谢的家无力保守国权。
And he sought Ahaziah: and they caught him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu: and when they had slain him, they buried him: Because, said they, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no power to keep still the kingdom.
 
22:10 亚哈谢的母亲亚他利雅见她儿子死了,就起来剿灭犹大王室。
But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.
 
22:11 但王的女儿约示巴将亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从那被杀的王子中偷出来,把他和他的乳母都藏在卧房里。约示巴是约兰王的女儿,亚哈谢的妹子,祭司耶何耶大的妻。她收藏约阿施,躲避亚她利雅,免得被杀。
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not.
 
22:12 约阿施和她们一同藏在神殿里六年。亚他利雅篡了国位。
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years: and Athaliah reigned over the land.
旧约--历代记下(2 Chronicles)--第 23 章
23:1 第七年,耶何耶大奋勇自强,将百夫长耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅,约哈难的儿子以实玛利,俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅,亚大雅的儿子玛西雅,细基利的儿子以利沙法召来,与他们立约。
And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
 
23:2 他们走遍犹大,从犹大各城里招聚利未人和以色列的众族长到耶路撒冷来。
And they went about in Judah, and gathered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.
 
23:3 会众在神殿里与王立约。耶何耶大对他们说,看哪,王的儿子必当作王,正如耶和华指着大卫子孙所应许的话。
And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said unto them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as the LORD hath said of the sons of David.
 
23:4 又说,你们当这样行,祭司和利未人凡安息日进班的,三分之一要把守各门,
This is the thing that ye shall do; A third part of you entering on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the doors;
 
23:5 三分之一要在王宫,三分之一要在基址门。众百姓要在耶和华殿的院内。
And a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation: and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of the LORD.
 
23:6 除了祭司和供职的利未人之外,不准别人进耶和华的殿。惟独他们可以进去,因为他们圣洁。众百姓要遵守耶和华所吩咐的。
But let none come into the house of the LORD, save the priests, and they that minister of the Levites; they shall go in, for they are holy: but all the people shall keep the watch of the LORD.
 
23:7 利未人要手中各拿兵器,四围护卫王。凡擅入殿宇的,必当治死。王出入的时候,你们当跟随他。
And the Levites shall compass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, he shall be put to death: but be ye with the king when he cometh in, and when he goeth out.
 
23:8 利未人和犹大众人都照着祭司耶何耶大一切所吩咐的去行,各带所管安息日进班出班的人来,因为祭司耶何耶大不许他们下班。
So the Levites and all Judah did according to all things that Jehoiada the priest had commanded, and took every man his men that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go out on the sabbath: for Jehoiada the priest dismissed not the courses.
 
23:9 祭司耶何耶大便将神殿里所藏大卫王的枪,盾牌,挡牌交给百夫长,
Moreover Jehoiada the priest delivered to the captains of hundreds spears, and bucklers, and shields, that had been king David's, which were in the house of God.
 
23:10 又分派众民手中各拿兵器,在坛和殿那里,从殿右直到殿左,站在王子的四围。
And he set all the people, every man having his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the temple to the left side of the temple, along by the altar and the temple, by the king round about.
 
23:11 于是领王子出来,给他戴上冠冕,将律法书交给他,立他作王。耶何耶大和众子膏他,众人说,愿王万岁。
Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.
 
23:12 亚他利雅听见民奔走赞美王的声音,就到民那里,进耶和华的殿,
Now when Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of the LORD:
 
23:13 看见王站在殿门的柱旁,百夫长和吹号的人侍立在王左右,国民都欢乐吹号,又有歌唱的,用各样的乐器领人歌唱赞美。亚他利雅就撕裂衣服,喊叫说,反了。反了。
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
 
23:14 祭司耶何耶大带管辖军兵的百夫长出来,吩咐他们说,将她赶到班外,凡跟随她的必用刀杀死。因为祭司说,不可在耶和华殿里杀她。
Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of hundreds that were set over the host, and said unto them, Have her forth of the ranges: and whoso followeth her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest said, Slay her not in the house of the LORD.
 
23:15 众兵就闪开,让她去。她走到王宫的马门,便在那里把她杀了。
So they laid hands on her; and when she was come to the entering of the horse gate by the king's house, they slew her there.
 
23:16 耶何耶大与众民和王立约,都要作耶和华的民。
And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, and between all the people, and between the king, that they should be the LORD's people.
 
23:17 于是众民都到巴力庙,拆毁了庙,打碎坛和像,又在坛前将巴力的祭司玛坦杀了。
Then all the people went to the house of Baal, and brake it down, and brake his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
 
23:18 耶何耶大派官看守耶和华的殿,是在祭司利未人手下。这祭司利未人是大卫分派在耶和华殿中,照摩西律法上所写的,给耶和华献燔祭,又按大卫所定的例,欢乐歌唱。
Also Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of the LORD by the hand of the priests the Levites, whom David had distributed in the house of the LORD, to offer the burnt offerings of the LORD, as it is written in the law of Moses, with rejoicing and with singing, as it was ordained by David.
 
23:19 且设立守门的把守耶和华殿的各门,无论为何事,不洁净的人都不准进去。
And he set the porters at the gates of the house of the LORD, that none which was unclean in any thing should enter in.
 
23:20 又率领百夫长和贵胄,与民间的官长,并国中的众民,请王从耶和华殿下来,由上门进入王宫,立王坐在国位上。
And he took the captains of hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of the LORD: and they came through the high gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
 
23:21 国民都欢乐,合城都安静。众人已将亚他利雅用刀杀了。
And all the people of the land rejoiced: and the city was quiet, after that they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
旧约--历代记下(2 Chronicles)--第 24 章
24:1 约阿施登基的时候年七岁,在耶路撒冷作王四十年。他母亲名叫西比亚,是别是巴人。
Joash was seven years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Zibiah of Beersheba.
 
24:2 祭司耶何耶大在世的时候,约阿施行耶和华眼中看为正的事。
And Joash did that which was right in the sight of the LORD all the days of Jehoiada the priest.
 
24:3 耶何耶大为他娶了两个妻,并且生儿养女。
And Jehoiada took for him two wives; and he begat sons and daughters.
 
24:4 此后,约阿施有意重修耶和华的殿,
And it came to pass after this, that Joash was minded to repair the house of the LORD.
 
24:5 便召聚众祭司和利未人,吩咐他们说,你们要往犹大各城去,使以色列众人捐纳银子,每年可以修理你们神的殿。你们要急速办理这事。只是利未人不急速办理。
And he gathered together the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out unto the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that ye hasten the matter. Howbeit the Levites hastened it not.
 
24:6 王召了大祭司耶何耶大来,对他说,从前耶和华的仆人摩西,为法柜的帐幕与以色列会众所定的捐项,你为何不叫利未人照这例从犹大和耶路撒冷带来作殿的费用呢。
And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and said unto him, Why hast thou not required of the Levites to bring in out of Judah and out of Jerusalem the collection, according to the commandment of Moses the servant of the LORD, and of the congregation of Israel, for the tabernacle of witness?
 
24:7 因为那恶妇亚他利雅的众子曾拆毁神的殿,又用耶和华殿中分别为圣的物供奉巴力。
For the sons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God; and also all the dedicated things of the house of the LORD did they bestow upon Baalim.
 
24:8 于是王下令,众人作了一柜,放在耶和华殿的门外,
And at the king's commandment they made a chest, and set it without at the gate of the house of the LORD.
 
24:9 又通告犹大和耶路撒冷的百姓,要将神仆人摩西在旷野所吩咐以色列人的捐项给耶和华送来。
And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring in to the LORD the collection that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel in the wilderness.
 
24:10 众首领和百姓都欢欢喜喜地将银子送来,投入柜中,直到捐完。
And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the chest, until they had made an end.
 
24:11 利未人见银子多了,就把柜抬到王所派的司事面前。王的书记和大祭司的属员来将柜倒空,仍放在原处。日日都是这样,积蓄的银子甚多。
Now it came to pass, that at what time the chest was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the Levites, and when they saw that there was much money, the king's scribe and the high priest's officer came and emptied the chest, and took it, and carried it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and gathered money in abundance.
 
24:12 王与耶何耶大将银子交给耶和华殿里办事的人,他们就雇了石匠,木匠重修耶和华的殿,又雇了铁匠,铜匠修理耶和华的殿。
And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and hired masons and carpenters to repair the house of the LORD, and also such as wrought iron and brass to mend the house of the LORD.
 
24:13 工人操作,渐渐修成,将神殿修造得与从前一样,而且甚是坚固。
So the workmen wrought, and the work was perfected by them, and they set the house of God in his state, and strengthened it.
 
24:14 工程完了,他们就把其馀的银子拿到王与耶何耶大面前,用以制造耶和华殿供奉所用的器皿和调羹,并金银的器皿。耶何耶大在世的时候,众人常在耶和华殿里献燔祭。
And when they had finished it, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada, whereof were made vessels for the house of the LORD, even vessels to minister, and to offer withal, and spoons, and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of the LORD continually all the days of Jehoiada.
 
24:15 耶何耶大年纪老迈,日子满足而死。死的时候年一百三十岁,
But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days when he died; an hundred and thirty years old was he when he died.
24:16 葬在大卫城列王的坟墓里。因为他在以色列人中行善,又事奉神,修理神的殿。
And they buried him in the city of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God, and toward his house.
 
24:17 耶何耶大死后,犹大的众首领来朝拜王。王就听从他们。
Now after the death of Jehoiada came the princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the king. Then the king hearkened unto them.
 
24:18 他们离弃耶和华他们列祖神的殿,去事奉亚舍拉和偶像。因他们这罪,就有忿怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷。
And they left the house of the LORD God of their fathers, and served groves and idols: and wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this their trespass.
 
24:19 但神仍遣先知到他们那里,引导他们归向耶和华。这先知警戒他们,他们却不肯听。
Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring them again unto the LORD; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear.
 
24:20 那时,神的灵感动祭司耶何耶大的儿子撒迦利亚,他就站在上面对民说,神如此说,你们为何干犯耶和华的诫命,以致不得亨通呢。因为你们离弃耶和华,所以他也离弃你们。
And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them, Thus saith God, Why transgress ye the commandments of the LORD, that ye cannot prosper? because ye have forsaken the LORD, he hath also forsaken you.
 
24:21 众民同心谋害撒迦利亚,就照王的吩咐,在耶和华殿的院内用石头打死他。
And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commandment of the king in the court of the house of the LORD.
 
24:22 这样,约阿施王不想念撒迦利亚的父亲耶何耶大向自己所施的恩,杀了他的儿子。撒迦利亚临死的时候说,愿耶和华鉴察伸冤。
Thus Joash the king remembered not the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but slew his son. And when he died, he said, The LORD look upon it, and require it.
 
24:23 满了一年,亚兰的军兵上来攻击约阿施,来到犹大和耶路撒冷,杀了民中的众首领,将所掠的财货送到大马士革王那里。
And it came to pass at the end of the year, that the host of Syria came up against him: and they came to Judah and Jerusalem, and destroyed all the princes of the people from among the people, and sent all the spoil of them unto the king of Damascus.
 
24:24 亚兰的军兵虽来了一小队,耶和华却将大队的军兵交在他们手里,是因犹大人离弃耶和华他们列祖的神,所以藉亚兰人惩罚约阿施。
For the army of the Syrians came with a small company of men, and the LORD delivered a very great host into their hand, because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers. So they executed judgment against Joash.
 
24:25 亚兰人离开约阿施的时候,他患重病。臣仆背叛他,要报祭司耶何耶大儿子流血之仇,杀他在床上,葬他在大卫城,只是不葬在列王的坟墓里。
And when they were departed from him, (for they left him in great diseases,) his own servants conspired against him for the blood of the sons of Jehoiada the priest, and slew him on his bed, and he died: and they buried him in the city of David, but they buried him not in the sepulchres of the kings.
 
24:26 背叛他的是亚扪妇人示米押的儿子撒拔和摩押妇人示米利的儿子约萨拔。
And these are they that conspired against him; Zabad the son of Shimeath an Ammonitess, and Jehozabad the son of Shimrith a Moabitess.
 
24:27 至于他的众子和他所受的警戒,并他重修神殿的事,都写在列王的传上。他儿子亚玛谢接续他作王。
Now concerning his sons, and the greatness of the burdens laid upon him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the story of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
旧约--历代记下(2 Chronicles)--第 25 章
25:1 亚玛谢登基的时候年二十五岁,在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫约耶但,是耶路撒冷人。
Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
 
25:2 亚玛谢行耶和华眼中看为正的事,只是心不专诚。
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, but not with a perfect heart.
 
25:3 国一坚定,就把杀他父王的臣仆杀了,
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
 
25:4 却没有治死他们的儿子,是照摩西律法书上耶和华所吩咐的说,不可因子杀父,也不可因父杀子,各人要为本身的罪而死。
But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
 
25:5 亚玛谢招聚犹大人,按着犹大和便雅悯的宗族设立千夫长,百夫长,又数点人数,从二十岁以外,能拿枪拿盾牌出去打仗的精兵共有三十万。
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
 
25:6 又用银子一百他连得,从以色列招募了十万大能的勇士。
He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
 
25:7 有一个神人来见亚玛谢,对他说,王阿,不要使以色列的军兵与你同去,因为耶和华不与以色列人以法莲的后裔同在。
But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the LORD is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
 
25:8 你若一定要去,就奋勇争战吧。但神必使你败在敌人面前。因为神能助人得胜,也能使人倾败。
But if thou wilt go, do it, be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
 
25:9 亚玛谢问神人说,我给了以色列军的那一百他连得银子怎吗样呢。神人回答说,耶和华能把更多的赐给你。
And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The LORD is able to give thee much more than this.
 
25:10 于是亚玛谢将那从以法莲来的军兵分别出来,叫他们回家去。故此,他们甚恼怒犹大人,气忿忿地回家去了。
Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
 
25:11 亚玛谢壮起胆来,率领他的民到盐谷,杀了西珥人一万。
And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
 
25:12 犹大人又生擒了一万带到山崖上,从那里把他们扔下去,以致他们都摔碎了。
And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
 
25:13 但亚玛谢所打发回去,不许一同出征的那些军兵攻打犹大各城,从撒马利亚直到伯和仑,杀了三千人,抢了许多财物。
But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
 
25:14 亚玛谢杀了以东人回来,就把西珥的神像带回,立为自己的神,在它面前叩拜烧香。
Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
25:15 因此,耶和华的怒气向亚玛谢发作,就差一个先知去见他,说,这些神不能救它的民脱离你的手,你为何寻求它呢。
Wherefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
 
25:16 先知与王说话的时候,王对他说,谁立你作王的谋士呢。你住口吧。为何找打呢。先知就止住了,又说,你行这事,不听从我的劝戒,我知道神定意要灭你。
And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
 
25:17 犹大王亚玛谢与群臣商议,就差遣使者去见耶户的孙子,约哈斯的儿子,以色列王约阿施,说,你来,我们二人相见于战场。
Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
 
25:18 以色列王约阿施差遣使者去见犹大王亚玛谢,说,黎巴嫩的蒺藜差遣使者去见黎巴嫩的香柏树,说,将你的女儿给我儿子为妻。后来黎巴嫩有一个野兽经过,把蒺藜践踏了。
And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
 
25:19 你说,看哪,我打败了以东人,你就心高气傲,以致矜夸。你在家里安居就吧了,为何要惹祸使自己和犹大国一同败亡呢。
Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
 
25:20 亚玛谢却不肯听从。这是出乎神,好将他们交在敌人手里,因为他们寻求以东的神。
But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
 
25:21 于是以色列王约阿施上来,在犹大的伯示麦与犹大王亚玛谢相见于战场。
So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
 
25:22 犹大人败在以色列人面前,各自逃回家里去了。
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
 
25:23 以色列王约阿施在伯示麦擒住约哈斯(即亚哈谢)的孙子,约阿施的儿子,犹大王亚玛谢,将他带到耶路撒冷,又拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙,从以法莲门直到角门,共四百肘。
And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
 
25:24 又将俄别以东所看守神殿里的一切金银和器皿,与王宫里的财宝都拿了去,并带人去为质,就回撒马利亚去了。
And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
 
25:25 以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施死后,犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢又活了十五年。
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
 
25:26 亚玛谢其馀的事,自始至终不都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上吗。
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
 
25:27 自从亚玛谢离弃耶和华之后,在耶路撒冷有人背叛他,他就逃到拉吉。叛党却打发人到拉吉,将他杀了。
Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
 
25:28 人就用马将他的尸首驮回,葬在犹大京城他列祖的坟地里。
And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
 
26:5 通晓神默示,撒迦利亚在世的时候,乌西雅定意寻求神。他寻求耶和华,神就使他亨通。
And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the LORD, God made him to prosper.
 
26:6 他出去攻击非利士人,拆毁了迦特城,雅比尼城,和亚实突城。在非利士人中,在亚实突境内,又建筑了些城。
And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
 
26:7 神帮助他攻击非利士人和住在姑珥巴力的阿拉伯人,并米乌尼人。
And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.
 
26:8 亚扪人给乌西雅进贡。他的名声传到埃及,因他甚是强盛。
And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
 
26:9 乌西雅在耶路撒冷的角门和谷门,并城墙转弯之处,建筑城楼,且甚坚固。
Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
 
26:10 又在旷野与高原和平原,建筑望楼,挖了许多井,因他的牲畜甚多。又在山地和佳美之地,有农夫和修理葡萄园的人,因为他喜悦农事。
Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
 
26:11 乌西雅又有军兵,照书记耶利和官长玛西雅所数点的,在王的一个将军哈拿尼雅手下,分队出战。
Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.

And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
 
26:15 又在耶路撒冷使巧匠作机器,安在城楼和角楼上,用以射箭发石。乌西雅的名声传到远方。因为他得了非常的帮助,甚是强盛。
And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
 
26:16 他既强盛,就心高气傲,以致行事邪僻,干犯耶和华他的神,进耶和华的殿,要在香坛上烧香。
But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the LORD his God, and went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
 
26:17 祭司亚撒利雅率领耶和华勇敢的祭司八十人,跟随他进去。
And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the LORD, that were valiant men:
 
26:18 他们就阻挡乌西雅王,对他说,乌西雅阿,给耶和华烧香不是你的事,乃是亚伦子孙承接圣职祭司的事。你出圣殿吧。因为你犯了罪。你行这事,耶和华神必不使你得荣耀。
And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the LORD, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the LORD God.
 
26:19 乌西雅就发怒,手拿香炉要烧香。他向祭司发怒的时候,在耶和华殿中香坛旁众祭司面前,额上忽然发出大麻疯。
Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the LORD, from beside the incense altar.
 
26:20 大祭司亚撒利雅和众祭司观看,见他额上发出大麻疯,就催他出殿。他自己也急速出去,因为耶和华降灾与他。
And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the LORD had smitten him.
 
26:21 乌西雅王长大麻疯直到死日,因此住在别的宫里,与耶和华的殿隔绝。他儿子约坦管理家事,治理国民。
And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the LORD: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
 
26:22 乌西雅其馀的事,自始至终都是亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚所记的。
Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
 
26:23 乌西雅与他列祖同睡,葬在王陵的田间他列祖的坟地里。因为人说,他是长大麻疯的。他儿子约坦接续他作王。
So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.

He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
 
27:6 约坦在耶和华他神面前行正道,以致日渐强盛。
So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.
 
27:7 约坦其馀的事和一切争战,并他的行为,都写在以色列和犹大列王记上。

Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:
 
28:2 却行以色列诸王的道,又铸造巴力的像,
For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
28:3 并且在欣嫩子谷烧香,用火焚烧他的儿女,行耶和华在以色列人面前所驱逐的外邦人那可憎的事。
Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
 
28:4 并在邱坛上,山冈上,各青翠树下献祭烧香。
He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
 
28:5 所以,耶和华他的神将他交在亚兰王手里。亚兰王打败他,掳了他许多的民,带到大马士革去。神又将他交在以色列王手里,以色列王向他大行杀戮。
Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.

And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
 
28:9 但那里有耶和华的一个先知,名叫俄德,出来迎接往撒马利亚去的军兵,对他们说,因为耶和华你们列祖的神恼怒犹大人,所以将他们交在你们手里,你们竟怒气冲天,大行杀戮。
But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.
 
28:10 如今你们又有意强逼犹大人和耶路撒冷人作你们的奴婢,你们岂不也有得罪耶和华你们神的事吗。
And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
 
28:11 现在你们当听我说,要将掳来的弟兄释放回去,因为耶和华向你们已经大发烈怒。
Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you.
 
28:12 于是,以法莲人的几个族长就是约哈难的儿子亚撒利雅,米实利末的儿子比利家,沙龙的儿子耶希西家,哈得莱的儿子亚玛撒起来拦挡出兵回来的人,
Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
 
28:13 对他们说,你们不可带进这被掳的人来。你们想要使我们得罪耶和华,加增我们的罪恶过犯。因为我们的罪过甚大,已经有烈怒临到以色列人了。
And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.
 
28:14 于是带兵器的人将掳来的人口和掠来的财物都留在众首领和会众的面前。
So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
 
28:15 以上提名的那些人就站起,使被掳的人前来。其中有赤身的,就从所掠的财物中拿出衣服和鞋来,给他们穿,又给他们吃喝,用膏抹他们。其中有软弱的,就使他们骑驴,送到棕树城耶利哥他们弟兄那里,随后就回撒马利亚去了。
And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.
 
28:16 那时,亚哈斯王差遣人去见亚述诸王,求他们帮助。
At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
 
28:17 因为以东人又来攻击犹大,掳掠子民。
For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
 
28:18 非利士人也来侵占高原和犹大南方的城邑,取了伯示麦,亚雅仑,基低罗,梭哥和属梭哥的乡村,亭纳和属亭纳的乡村,瑾锁和属瑾锁的乡村,就住在那里。
The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.
 
28:19 因为以色列王亚哈斯在犹大放肆,大大干犯耶和华,所以耶和华使犹大卑微。
For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.
 
28:20 亚述王提革拉毗尼色上来,却没有帮助他,反倒欺凌他。
And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
 
28:21 亚哈斯从耶和华殿里和王宫中,并首领家内所取的财宝给了亚述王,这也无济于事。
For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
 
28:22 这亚哈斯王在急难的时候,越发得罪耶和华。
And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.
 
28:23 他祭祀攻击他的大马士革之神,说,因为亚兰王的神帮助他们,我也献祭与他,他好帮助我。但那些神使他和以色列众人败亡了。
For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
 
28:24 亚哈斯将神殿里的器皿都聚了来,毁坏了,且封锁耶和华殿的门。在耶路撒冷各处的拐角建筑祭坛,
And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
 
28:25 又在犹大各城建立邱坛,与别神烧香,惹动耶和华他列祖神的怒气。
And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.
 
28:26 亚哈斯其馀的事和他的行为,自始至终都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上。
Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
 
28:27 亚哈斯与他列祖同睡,葬在耶路撒冷城里,没有送入以色列诸王的坟墓中。他儿子希西家接续他作王。
And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.

29:1 希西家登基的时候年二十五岁,在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫亚比雅,是撒迦利雅的女儿。
Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

29:5 对他们说,利未人哪,当听我说,现在你们要洁净自己,又洁净耶和华你们列祖神的殿,从圣所中除去污秽之物。
And said unto them, Hear me, ye Levites, sanctify now yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
 
29:6 我们列祖犯了罪,行耶和华我们神眼中看为恶的事,离弃他,转脸背向他的居所,
For our fathers have trespassed, and done that which was evil in the eyes of the LORD our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation of the LORD, and turned their backs.
 
29:7 封锁廊门,吹灭灯火,不在圣所中向以色列神烧香,或献燔祭。
Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.
 
29:8 因此,耶和华的忿怒临到犹大和耶路撒冷,将其中的人抛来抛去,令人惊骇,嗤笑,正如你们亲眼所见的。
Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, to astonishment, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
 
29:9 所以我们的祖宗倒在刀下,我们的妻子儿女也被掳掠。
For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
 
29:10 现在我心中有意与耶和华以色列的神立约,好使他的烈怒转离我们。
Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant with the LORD God of Israel, that his fierce wrath may turn away from us.
 
29:11 我的众子阿,现在不要懈怠。因为耶和华拣选你们站在他面前事奉他,与他烧香。
My sons, be not now negligent: for the LORD hath chosen you to stand before him, to serve him, and that ye should minister unto him, and burn incense.
 
29:12 于是,利未人哥辖的子孙,亚玛赛的儿子玛哈,亚撒利雅的儿子约珥。米拉利的子孙,亚伯底的儿子基士,耶哈利勒的儿子亚撒利雅。革顺的子孙,薪玛的儿子约亚,约亚的儿子伊甸;

And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
 
29:16 祭司进入耶和华的殿要洁净殿,将殿中所有污秽之物搬到耶和华殿的院内,利未人接去,搬到外头汲沦溪边。
And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
 
29:17 从正月初一日洁净起,初八日到了耶和华的殿廊,用八日的工夫洁净耶和华的殿,到正月十六日才洁净完了。
Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD: so they sanctified the house of the LORD in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
 
29:18 于是,他们晋见希西家王,说,我们已将耶和华的全殿和燔祭坛,并坛的一切器皿,陈设饼的桌子,与桌子的一切器皿都洁净了。
Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
 
29:19 并且亚哈斯王在位犯罪的时候所废弃的器皿,我们预备齐全,且洁净了,现今都在耶和华的坛前。
Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the LORD.
 
29:20 希西家王清早起来,聚集城里的首领都上耶和华的殿。
Then Hezekiah the king rose early, and gathered the rulers of the city, and went up to the house of the LORD.
 
29:21 牵了七只公牛,七只公羊,七只羊羔,七只公山羊,要为国,为殿,为犹大人作赎罪祭。王吩咐亚伦的子孙众祭司,献在耶和华的坛上,
And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats, for a sin offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer them on the altar of the LORD.
 
29:22 就宰了公牛,祭司接血洒在坛上,宰了公羊,把血洒在坛上,又宰了羊羔,也把血洒在坛上。
So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar: likewise, when they had killed the rams, they sprinkled the blood upon the altar: they killed also the lambs, and they sprinkled the blood upon the altar.
 
29:23 把那作赎罪祭的公山羊牵到王和会众面前,他们就按手在其上。
And they brought forth the he goats for the sin offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them:
 
29:24 祭司宰了羊,将血献在坛上作赎罪祭,为以色列众人赎罪,因为王吩咐将燔祭和赎罪祭为以色列众人献上。
And the priests killed them, and they made reconciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel: for the king commanded that the burnt offering and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
 
29:25 王又派利未人在耶和华殿中敲钹,鼓瑟,弹琴,乃照大卫和他先见迦得,并先知拿单所吩咐的,就是耶和华藉先知所吩咐的。
And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for so was the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.
 
29:26 利未人拿大卫的乐器,祭司拿号,一同站立。
And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
 
29:27 希西家吩咐在坛上献燔祭,燔祭一献,就唱赞美耶和华的歌,用号,并用以色列王大卫的乐器相和。
And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt offering upon the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of the LORD began also with the trumpets, and with the instruments ordained by David king of Israel.
 
29:28 会众都敬拜,歌唱的歌唱,吹号的吹号,如此直到燔祭献完了。
And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
 
29:29 献完了祭,王和一切跟随的人都俯伏敬拜。
And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves, and worshipped.
 
29:30 希西家王与众首领又吩咐利未人用大卫和先见亚萨的诗词颂赞耶和华。他们就欢欢喜喜地颂赞耶和华,低头敬拜。
Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and worshipped.
 
29:31 希西家说,你们既然归耶和华为圣,就要前来把祭物和感谢祭奉到耶和华殿里。会众就把祭物和感谢祭奉来,凡甘心乐意的也将燔祭奉来。
Then Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings into the house of the LORD. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank offerings; and as many as were of a free heart burnt offerings.
 
29:32 会众所奉的燔祭如下,公牛七十只,公羊一百只,羊羔二百只,这都是作燔祭献给耶和华的。
And the number of the burnt offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, an hundred rams, and two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt offering to the LORD.
 
29:33 又有分别为圣之物,公牛六百只,绵羊三千只。
And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
 
29:34 但祭司太少,不能剥尽燔祭牲的皮,所以他们的弟兄利未人帮助他们,直等燔祭的事完了,又等别的祭司自洁了。因为利未人诚心自洁,胜过祭司。
But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt offerings: wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the other priests had sanctified themselves: for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
 
29:35 燔祭和平安祭牲的脂油,并燔祭同献的奠祭甚多。这样,耶和华殿中的事务俱都齐备了(或作就整顿了)。
And also the burnt offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink offerings for every burnt offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order.
 
29:36 这事办的甚速,希西家和众民都喜乐,是因神为众民所预备的。
And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly.
旧约--历代记下(2 Chronicles)--第 30 章
30:1 希西家差遣人去见以色列和犹大众人,又写信给以法莲和玛拿西人,叫他们到耶路撒冷耶和华的殿,向耶和华以色列的神守逾越节。
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
 
30:2 因为王和众首领,并耶路撒冷全会众已经商议,要在二月内守逾越节。
For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
 
30:3 正月(原文作那时)间他们不能守。因为自洁的祭司尚不敷用,百姓也没有聚集在耶路撒冷。
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
 
30:4 王与全会众都以这事为善。
And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
 
30:5 于是定了命令,传遍以色列,从别是巴直到但,使他们都来,在耶路撒冷向耶和华以色列的神守逾越节。因为照所写的例,守这节的不多了(或作因为民许久没有照所写的例守节了)。
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time in such sort as it was written.
 
30:6 驿卒就把王和众首领的信,遵着王命传遍以色列和犹大。信内说,以色列人哪,你们当转向耶和华亚伯拉罕,以撒,以色列的神,好叫他转向你们这脱离亚述王手的馀民。
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
 
30:7 你们不要效法你们列祖和你们的弟兄。他们干犯耶和华他们列祖的神,以致耶和华丢弃他们,使他们败亡(或作令人惊骇),正如你们所见的。
And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
 
30:8 现在不要像你们列祖硬着颈项,只要归顺耶和华,进入他的圣所,就是永远成圣的居所。又要事奉耶和华你们的神,好使他的烈怒转离你们。
Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
 
30:9 你们若转向耶和华,你们的弟兄和儿女必在掳掠他们的人面前蒙怜恤,得以归回这地,因为耶和华你们的神有恩典,施怜悯。你们若转向他,他必不转脸不顾你们。
For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away his face from you, if ye return unto him.
 
30:10 驿卒就由这城跑到那城,传遍了以法莲,玛拿西,直到西布伦。那里的人却戏笑他们,讥诮他们。
So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
 
30:11 然而亚设,玛拿西,西布伦中也有人自卑,来到耶路撒冷。
Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
 
30:12 神也感动犹大人,使他们一心遵行王与众首领凭耶和华之言所发的命令。
Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
 
30:13 二月,有许多人在耶路撒冷聚集,成为大会,要守除酵节。
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
 
30:14 他们起来,把耶路撒冷的祭坛和烧香的坛尽都除去,抛在汲沦溪中。
And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
 
30:15 二月十四日,宰了逾越节的羊羔。祭司与利未人觉得惭愧,就洁净自己,把燔祭奉到耶和华殿中,
Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
 
30:16 遵着神人摩西的律法,照例站在自己的地方。祭司从利未人手里接过血来,洒在坛上。
And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.
 
30:17 会中有许多人尚未自洁,所以利未人为一切不洁之人宰逾越节的羊羔,使他们在耶和华面前成为圣洁。
For there were many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.
 
30:18 *
For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
 
30:19 以法莲,玛拿西,以萨迦,西布伦有许多人尚未自洁,他们却也吃逾越节的羊羔,不合所记录的定例。希西家为他们祷告说,凡专心寻求神,就是耶和华他列祖之神的,虽不照着圣所洁净之礼自洁,求至善的耶和华也饶恕他。
That prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification of the sanctuary.
 
30:20 耶和华垂听希西家的祷告,就饶恕(原文作医治)百姓。
And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
 
30:21 在耶路撒冷的以色列人大大喜乐,守除酵节七日。利未人和祭司用响亮的乐器,日日颂赞耶和华。
And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.
 
30:22 希西家慰劳一切善于事奉耶和华的利未人。于是众人吃节筵七日,又献平安祭,且向耶和华他们列祖的神认罪。
And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
 
30:23 全会众商议,要再守节七日。于是欢欢喜喜地又守节七日。
And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept other seven days with gladness.
 
30:24 犹大王希西家赐给会众公牛一千只,羊七千挚为祭物。众首领也赐给会众公牛一千只,羊一万只,并有许多的祭司洁净自己。
For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
 
30:25 犹大全会众,祭司,利未人,并那从以色列地来的会众和寄居的人,以及犹大寄居的人,尽都喜乐。
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
 
30:26 这样,在耶路撒冷大有喜乐,自从以色列王大卫儿子所罗门的时候,在耶路撒冷没有这样的喜乐。
So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.
 
30:27 那时,祭司,利未人起来,为民祝福。他们的声音蒙神垂听,他们的祷告达到天上的圣所。
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came up to his holy dwelling place, even unto heaven.
