代下14:1 亚比雅和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在大卫城里，他的儿子亚撒接续他作王。亚撒在世的日子，国中太平了十年。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为13:23）
代下14:1 So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years.
代下14:2 亚撒行耶和华他的 神看为善为正的事。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为14:1）
代下14:2 And Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the Lord his God;
代下14:3 他除掉外族人的祭坛和邱坛，打断神柱，砍下亚舍拉，
代下14:3 For he took away the altars of strange gods and the high places, and had the upright stones broken and the wood pillars cut down;
代下14:4 吩咐犹大人寻求耶和华他们列祖的 神，遵行他的律法和诫命。
代下14:4 And he made Judah go after the Lord, the God of their fathers, and keep his laws and his orders.
代下14:5 他又在犹大各城中，除掉邱坛和香坛。那时全国在他的统治下享受太平。
代下14:5 And he took away the high places and the sun-images from all the towns of Judah; and the kingdom was quiet under his rule.
代下14:6 他又在犹大建造了几座设防城，因为国中太平，多年没有战争，耶和华使他享受安宁。
代下14:6 He made walled towns in Judah, for the land was quiet and there were no wars in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.
代下14:7 他对犹大人说：“我们要建造这些城，在四周筑墙，建造城楼，安设城门，制作门闩。这地还属于我们，是因为我们寻求耶和华我们的 神；我们既然寻求他，他就使我们四境平安。”于是他们兴工建造，事事顺利。
代下14:7 He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.
代下14:8 亚撒的军队，拿大盾牌和矛枪的犹大人，共有三十万；拿小盾牌和拉弓的便雅悯人，共有二十八万；他们都是英勇的战士。
代下14:8 And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war.
代下14:9 那时有古实人谢拉率领一百万军队，战车三百辆，前来攻打犹大人；他来到了玛利沙。
代下14:9 And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah.
代下14:10 于是亚撒出去迎战；他们就在玛利沙的洗法谷列阵相对。
代下14:10 And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah.
代下14:11 亚撒呼求耶和华他的 神说：“耶和华啊，强弱悬殊，除你以外没有别的帮助。耶和华我们的 神啊，求你帮助我们。因为我们倚靠你，奉你的名去对抗这大军。耶和华啊，你是我们的 神，不要让人胜过你。”
代下14:11 And Asa made prayer to the Lord his God and said, Lord, you only are able to give help against the strong to him who has no strength; come to our help, O Lord our God, for our hope is in you, and in your name we have come out against this great army. O Lord, you are our God; let not man's power be greater than yours.
代下14:12 于是耶和华在亚撒和犹大人面前，使古实人大败，古实人就逃跑。
代下14:12 So the Lord sent fear on the Ethiopians before Asa and Judah; and the Ethiopians went in flight.
代下14:13 亚撒和跟随他的人民追赶他们，直到基拉耳；古实人被杀的很多，不能恢复强盛；因为他们在耶和华和他的军队面前被击溃了；犹大人夺取了极多战利品。
代下14:13 And Asa and the people who were with him went after them as far as Gerar; and so great was the destruction among the Ethiopians that they were not able to get their army together again, for they were broken before the Lord and before his army; and they took away a great amount of their goods.
代下14:14 他们又攻击基拉耳周围的一切城市，因为各城的人都惧怕耶和华。犹大人又把各城洗掠一空，因为城中的财物甚多。
代下14:14 And they overcame all the towns round Gerar, because the Lord sent fear on them; and they took away their goods from the towns, for there were stores of wealth in them.
代下14:15 他们又毁坏了牲畜的棚，牵走了很多的羊和骆驼，然后回耶路撒冷去了。
代下14:15 And they made an attack on the tents of the owners of the cattle, and took away great numbers of sheep and camels and went back to Jerusalem.
