列王紀下

第16章

1 利瑪利的兒子比加十七年,猶大王約坦的兒子亞哈斯登基。

2 他登基的時候年二十歲,在耶路撒冷作王十六年;不像他祖大衛行耶和華─他神眼中看為正的事,

3 卻效法以色列諸王所行的,又照著耶和華從以色列人面前趕出的異教之民[heathen]所行可憎的事,使他的兒子經火,

4 並在眾高邱[high places]、山岡上、各青翠樹下獻祭燒香。

5 敘利亞王利汛和以色列王利瑪利的兒子比加上來攻打耶路撒冷,圍困亞哈斯,卻不能勝他。

6 當時敘利亞王利汛收回以拉他歸與敘利亞,將猶太人從以拉他趕出去。敘利亞人就來到以拉他,住在那裏,直到今日。

7 亞哈斯差遣使者去見亞述王提革拉.毗列色,說:「我是你的僕人、你的兒子。現在敘利亞王和以色列王攻擊我,求你來救我脫離他們的手。」

8 亞哈斯將耶和華殿裏和王宮府庫裏所有的金銀都送給亞述王為禮物。

9 亞述王聽允了[hearkened]他,就上去攻打大馬士革,將城攻取,殺了利汛,把居民擄到吉珥。

10 亞哈斯王上大馬士革去迎接亞述王提革拉.毗列色,在大馬士革看見一座壇,就照壇的規模樣式作法畫了圖樣,送到祭司烏利亞那裏。

11 祭司烏利亞照著亞哈斯王從大馬士革送來的圖樣,在亞哈斯王沒有從大馬士革回來之先,建築一座壇。

12 王從大馬士革回來看見壇;[king]就近前來,在壇上獻祭。

13 [he]燒燔祭、素祭、澆奠祭,將平安祭牲的血灑在壇上。

14 又將耶和華面前的銅壇從耶和華殿和新壇的中間搬到新壇的北邊。

15 亞哈斯王吩咐祭司烏利亞說:「早晨的燔祭、晚上的素祭,王的燔祭、素祭,國內眾民的燔祭、素祭、奠祭都要燒在大壇上;燔祭牲和祭牲一切的血[all the blood of the sacrifice]也要灑在這壇上。只是銅壇我要用以求問耶和華。」

16 祭司烏利亞就照著亞哈斯王所吩咐的行了。

17 亞哈斯王打掉盆座四面鑲著的心子,把盆從座上挪下來,又將銅海從馱海的銅牛上搬下來,放在鋪石地;

18 又因亞述王的緣故,將耶和華殿為安息日所蓋的廊子和王從外入殿的廊子挪移,圍繞耶和華的殿。

19 亞哈斯其餘所行的事,[not]都寫在猶大列王記上嗎?

20 亞哈斯與他列祖同睡,葬在大衛城他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子希西家接續他作王。

Chapter 16

1 IN the eighteenth year of Pekah the son of Romaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

2 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he did not do that which was right in the sight of the LORD his God, and thus was unlike David his father.

3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and also made his son to pass through the fire, according to the custom of the Gentiles whom the LORD had destroyed from before the children of Israel.

4 And he sacrificed and burned incense on the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.

5 Then Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Romaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war against it; but they could not fight against it.

6 At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram, and drove Judah from Elath; and the Arameans came to Elath and dwell there to this day.

7 So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son; come up and save me from the hands of the king of Aram and from the hands of the king of Israel, who are risen up against me.

8 And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent it as a present to the king of Assyria.

9 And the king of Assyria listened to him; so the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and took it and carried its people captive to Kir, and he slew Rezin.

10 And when King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, he saw an altar that was in Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

11 So Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus; and Urijah the priest made it before King Ahaz came from Damascus.

12 And when the king was come from Damascus, King Ahaz saw the altar; and the king drew near to the altar and went up to it,

13 And burned his burnt offerings and his meal offerings, and poured his drink offerings and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings upon the altar.

14 And the altar of brass, which was before the LORD, he removed from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

15 And King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering and the evening meal offering and the king's burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offerings of all the people of the land and their meal offerings and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offerings and all the blood of the sacrifices; and the bronze altar shall be for me to inquire of the LORD.

16 Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that King Ahaz commanded him.

17 And King Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases and removed the lavers from off them; and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it and put it upon a pavement of stones.

18 And the shelter for the sabbath which they had built in the house of the LORD and in the entrance of the outer gate, he turned round the house of the LORD because of the fear of the king of Assyria.

19 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz and all that he did, behold, they are written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.

20 And Ahaz slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
