历代志下 28
1 亚哈斯登基的时候年二十岁，在耶路撒冷作王十六年；不像他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事，
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, as David his ancestor had done.
2 却行以色列诸王的道，又铸造巴力的像，
Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; he also made cast metal figures for the Baals.
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；
In addition, he burned incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom and he caused his children to pass through the fire, according to the idolatrous practices of the people that Yahweh forced out of their land before the people of Israel.
4 并在邱坛上、山冈上、各青翠树下献祭烧香。
He sacrificed and burned incense at the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.
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。
Therefore Yahweh the God of Ahaz gave him into the hand of the king of Aram. The Arameans defeated him and carried away from him a great crowd of prisoners, bringing them to Damascus. Ahaz was also given into the hand of the king of Israel who defeated him in a great slaughter.
6 利玛利的儿子比加一日杀了犹大人十二万，都是勇士，因为他们离弃了耶和华—他们列祖的 神。
For Pekah son of Remaliah in one day killed 120,000 soldiers in Judah and all of them were powerful men, because they had forsaken Yahweh the God of their ancestors.
7 有一个以法莲中的勇士，名叫细基利，杀了王的儿子玛西雅和管理王宫的押斯利甘，并宰相以利加拿。
Zicri, a powerful man from Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, Azrikam, the official over the palace, and Elkanah, who was next to the king.
8 以色列人掳了他们的弟兄，连妇人带儿女共有二十万，又掠了许多的财物，带到撒马利亚去了。
The army of Israel took captive from their relatives 200,000 wives, sons, and daughters. They also took much plunder, which they carried back to Samaria.
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 Yahweh was there, his name was Oded. He went out to meet the army coming into Samaria. He said to them, “Because Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, was angry with Judah, he gave them into your hand. But you have slaughtered them in a rage that reached up to heaven.
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？
Now you intend to keep the men and women of Judah and Jerusalem as your slaves. But are you not guilty of sins of your own against Yahweh your God?
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 then, listen to me: Send the prisoners back, those whom you have taken of your own brothers, for Yahweh's fierce wrath is on you.”
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 leaders of the people of Ephraim—Azariah son of Jehohanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came back from the war.
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。”
They said to them, “You must not bring the prisoners here, for you intend something that will bring on us sin against Yahweh, to add to our sins and trespasses, for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
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 prisoners and the plunder before the leaders and all the assembly.
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。
The men who were assigned by name got up and took the prisoners, and clothed all who were naked among them with the plunder. They clothed them and gave them sandals. They gave them food to eat and drink. They treated their wounds and put the weak ones on donkeys. They took them back to their families in Jericho, (called the City of Palms). Then they returned to Samaria.
16 那时，亚哈斯王差遣人去见亚述诸王，求他们帮助；
At that time King Ahaz sent messengers to the kings of Assyria to ask them to help him.
17 因为以东人又来攻击犹大，掳掠子民。
For once again the Edomites had come and attacked Judah, carrying prisoners away.
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 、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 invaded the cities of the lowlands and of the Negev of Judah. They took Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soko with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo with its villages. They went to live in those places.
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 Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz, king of Israel; for he had acted wickedly in Judah and had sinned against Yahweh very heavily.
20 亚述王提革拉·毗列色上来，却没有帮助他，反倒欺凌他。
Tiglath-Pileser, king of Assyria, came to him and troubled him instead of strengthening him.
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 plundered the house of Yahweh and the houses of the king and the leaders, to give the valuable things to the kings of Assyria. But doing this did not benefit him.
22 这亚哈斯王在急难的时候，越发得罪耶和华。
This same King Ahaz sinned even more against Yahweh in his time of suffering.
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 to the gods of Damascus, gods that had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them, so that they might help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
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，
Ahaz gathered together the furnishings of the house of God and cut them to pieces. He shut the doors of the house of Yahweh and he made for himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
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。
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn sacrifices to other gods. He provoked Yahweh, the God of his ancestors, to anger.
26 亚哈斯其余的事和他的行为，自始至终都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上。
Now the rest of his deeds, and all his ways, first and last, see, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
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。
Ahaz slept with his ancestors, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem, but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. Hezekiah, his son, became king in his place.
