¹王宣读约书并与　神立约（代下34:29-32）

¹And the king sendeth, and they gather unto him all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem,

²王登上耶和华的殿，犹大众人、耶路撒冷所有的居民，还有祭司、先知和众民，不论大小，都一同前往。王就把在耶和华殿发现的约书所记的一切话都念给他们听。

²and the king goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and every man of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, from small unto great, and he readeth in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant that is found in the house of Jehovah.

³王站在柱旁，在耶和华面前立约，要一心一意跟从耶和华，谨守他的诫命、典章和律例，实行这书上所写有关这约的话。众民都一同立约。

³And the king standeth by the pillar, and maketh the covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commands, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all the heart, and with all the soul, to establish the words of this covenant that are written on this book, and all the people stand in the covenant.

⁴除去偶像与一切恶行（代下34:3-7、33）王吩咐希勒家大祭司、副祭司和守殿门的，把所有为巴力、亚舍拉和天上的万象所制造的器皿，从耶和华殿里搬出去，在耶路撒冷城外汲沦谷的田野，把它们烧了。然后把它们的灰烬带到伯特利去。

⁴And the king commandeth Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the threshold, to bring out from the temple of Jehovah all the vessels that are made for Baal, and for the shrine, and for all the host of the heavens, and he burneth them at the outside of Jerusalem, in the fields of Kidron, and hath borne their ashes to Beth-El.

⁵他废除了从前犹大列王所立、在犹大各城的邱坛，和耶路撒冷的周围焚香拜偶像的祭司。又废除向巴力、日、月、星辰和天上万象焚香的人。

⁵And he hath caused to cease the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah have appointed, (and they make perfume in high places, in cities of Judah and suburbs of Jerusalem,) and those making perfume to Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of the heavens.

⁶他把亚舍拉像从耶和华殿里搬走，拿到耶路撒冷外的汲沦溪去，在汲沦溪把它烧毁，磨碎成灰，把灰撒在平民的坟墓上。

⁶And he bringeth out the shrine from the house of Jehovah to the outside of Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burneth it at the brook Kidron, and beateth it small to dust, and casteth its dust on the grave of the sons of the people.

⁷他拆毁在耶和华殿内男性庙妓的房屋，就是妇女为亚舍拉编织袍子的地方。

⁷And he breaketh down the houses of the whoremongers that [are] in the house of Jehovah, where the women are weaving houses for the shrine.

⁸他又从犹大各城把祭司们召来，污秽祭司们焚香的邱坛，从迦巴直到别是巴。他又拆毁设在城门的邱坛，就是在市长约书亚门的出入处，在城门的左边。

⁸And he bringeth in all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defileth the high places where the priests have made perfume, from Geba unto Beer-Sheba, and hath broken down the high places of the gates that [are] at the opening of the gate of Joshua, head of the city, that [is] on a man`s left hand at the gate of the city;

⁹但是邱坛的祭司不会登上在耶路撒冷耶和华的祭坛，他们只是在他们的兄弟中间吃无酵饼。

⁹only, the priests of the high places come not up unto the altar of Jehovah in Jerusalem, but they have eaten unleavened things in the midst of their brethren.

¹⁰他又污秽在欣嫩子谷的陀斐特，人在那里将儿女焚烧献给摩洛。

¹⁰And he hath defiled Topheth, that [is] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, so that no man doth cause his son and his daughter to pass over through fire to Molech.

¹¹他又除去犹大列王献给日头的马匹；这些马匹是在耶和华殿的入口处，靠近太监拿单．米勒在院子里的住宅。他又把献给日头的战车用火烧掉。

¹¹And he causeth to cease the horses that the kings of Judah have given to the sun from the entering in of the house of Jehovah, by the chamber of Nathan-Melech the eunuch, that [is] in the suburbs, and the chariots of the sun he hath burnt with fire.

¹²他又把亚哈斯的楼房顶上，犹大列王所做的祭坛，和玛拿西在耶和华殿的两院中所做的祭坛拆毁，就地打碎，把它们的灰尘倒进汲沦溪去。

¹²And the altars that [are] on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, that the kings of Judah made, and the altars that Manasseh made in the two courts of the house of Jehovah, hath the king broken down, and removeth thence, and hath cast their dust unto the brook Kidron.

¹³在耶路撒冷东面、橄榄山南面的邱坛，就是以色列王所罗门为西顿人可憎的神亚斯他录、摩押人可憎的神基抹，和亚扪人可憎的神米勒公所筑的邱坛，王都污秽了。

¹³And the high places that [are] on the front of Jerusalem, that [are] on the right of the mount of corruption, that Solomon king of Israel had built to Ashtoreth abomination of the Zidonians, and Chemosh abomination of Moab, and to Milcom abomination of the sons of Ammon, hath the king defiled.

¹⁴他又打碎神柱，砍下亚舍拉，把死人的骨头布满那个地方。

¹⁴And he hath broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cutteth down the shrines, and filleth their place with bones of men;

¹⁵此外，甚至在伯特利的祭坛和那使以色列人陷于罪中的尼八的儿子耶罗波安所做的邱坛，他都拆毁焚烧，压碎成灰，又把亚舍拉烧了。

¹⁵and also the altar that [is] in Beth-El, the high place that Jeroboam son of Nebat made, by which he made Israel sin, both that altar and the high place he hath broken down, and doth burn the high place — he hath beat it small to dust, and hath burnt the shrine.

¹⁶约西亚转过身来，看见在山上的坟墓，于是派人把骨头从坟墓中取出来，烧在祭坛上，污秽它，就像神人从前所宣告的耶和华的话。

¹⁶And Josiah turneth, and seeth the graves that [are] there in the mount, and sendeth and taketh the bones out of the graves, and burneth [them] on the altar, and defileth it, according to the word of Jehovah that the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

¹⁷约西亚说：“我看见的这墓碑是谁的呢？”那城的人对他说：“这是以前从犹大来预告你在伯特利祭坛上所作的事的神人的坟墓。”

¹⁷And he saith, `What [is] this sign that I see?` and the men of the city say unto him, `The grave of the man of God who hath come from Judah, and proclaimeth these things that thou hast done concerning the altar of Beth-El.`

¹⁸所以王说：“由他吧！不要让人动他的骨头。”于是他们没有碰他的骨头和那从撒玛利亚来的先知的骨头。

¹⁸And he saith, `Let him alone, let no man touch his bones;` and they let his bones escape, with the bones of the prophet who came out of Samaria.

¹⁹以色列诸王在撒玛利亚各城市建造，以致激怒耶和华的一切邱坛上的庙堂，约西亚都除去；他照着在伯特利所行的一切对付它们。

¹⁹And also all the houses of the high places that [are] in the cities of Samaria, that the kings of Israel made to provoke to anger, hath Josiah turned aside, and doth to them according to all the deeds that he did in Beth-El.

²⁰他又把所有邱坛的祭司都在祭坛上宰了。他把人的骨头烧在它们上面，然后回到耶路撒冷去了。

²⁰And he slayeth all the priests of the high places who [are] there by the altars, and burneth the bones of man upon them, and turneth back to Jerusalem.

²¹王下令守逾越节（代下35:1-19）王又命令众民说：“照着这约书上所写的，守逾越节，记念耶和华你们的　神。”

²¹And the king commandeth the whole of the people, saying, `Make ye a passover to Jehovah your God, as it is written on this book of the covenant.`

²²真的自从士师治理以色列的日子以来，以及以色列诸王和犹大列王所有的日子以来，没有守过像这次的逾越节的。

²²Surely there hath not been made like this passover from the days of the judges who judged Israel, even all the days of the kings of Israel, and of the kings of Judah;

²³只有在约西亚王第十八年，在耶路撒冷守了这逾越节，记念耶和华。

²³but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, hath this passover been made to Jehovah in Jerusalem.

²⁴其他改革约西亚也除去在犹大地和耶路撒冷所有招魂的、行巫术的、家神、偶像和一切可憎之物，为要实践希勒家祭司在耶和华殿里所寻得的书上所写律法的话。

²⁴And also, those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the abominations that were seen in the land of Judah, and in Jerusalem, hath Josiah put away, in order to establish the words of the law that are written on the book that Hilkiah the priest hath found in the house of Jehovah.

²⁵在他以前没有王好像他按着摩西一切律法，全心、全性、全力归向耶和华；在他以后也没有兴起一个王好像他的。

²⁵And like him there hath not been before him a king who turned back unto Jehovah with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses, and after him there hath none risen like him.

²⁶但耶和华并没有把他向犹大所发的烈怒消除，因玛拿西种种的恶行激怒了他。

²⁶Only, Jehovah hath not turned back from the fierceness of His great anger with which His anger burned against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh provoked him,

²⁷耶和华说：“我也要把犹大从我面前赶走，好像我把以色列除去一样。我要丢弃我所拣选的城市耶路撒冷，以及圣殿，我曾说：‘我的名必立在那里。’”

²⁷and Jehovah saith, `Also Judah I turn aside from my presence, as I turned Israel aside, and I have rejected this city that I have chosen — Jerusalem, and the house of which I said, My name is there.`

²⁸约西亚阵亡（代下35:20-36:1）约西亚其余的事迹和他所行的一切，不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗？

²⁸And the rest of the matters of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²⁹在约西亚的日子，埃及王法老尼哥上来幼发拉底河帮助亚述王，约西亚王竟去迎战他，法老看见他的时候，就把他杀死在米吉多。

²⁹In his days hath Pharaoh-Nechoh king of Egypt come up against the king of Asshur, by the river Phrat, and king Josiah goeth out to meet him, and he putteth him to death in Megiddo, when he seeth him.

³⁰他的臣仆把他的尸体从米吉多用马车运载，送到耶路撒冷，把他埋葬在他自己的坟墓里。国民选举约西亚的儿子约哈斯，膏了他，立他接续他父亲作王。

³⁰And his servants cause him to ride dying from Megiddo, and bring him in to Jerusalem, and bury him in his own grave, and the people of the land take Jehoahaz son of Josiah, and anoint him, and cause him to reign instead of his father.

³¹约哈斯作犹大王（代下36:2-4）约哈斯登基时是二十三岁，他在耶路撒冷作王三个月。他母亲名叫哈慕他，是立拿人耶利米的女儿。

³¹A son of twenty and three years [is] Jehoahaz in his reigning, and three months he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Hamutal daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah,

³²他行耶和华看为恶的事，好像他的祖先所行的。

³²and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did,

³³约雅敬作犹大王（代下36:5-8）法老尼哥把他囚禁在哈马地的利比拉，使他不能在耶路撒冷作王；又罚了犹大国三千公斤银子和三十公斤金子。

³³and Pharaoh-Nechoh bindeth him in Riblah, in the land of Hamath, from reigning in Jerusalem, and he putteth a fine on the land — a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

³⁴法老尼哥另立约西亚的儿子以利雅敬接续他的父亲约西亚作王，改了他的名字作约雅敬。他俘掳了约哈斯，把他带到埃及，他就死在那里。

³⁴And Pharaoh-Nechoh causeth Eliakim son of Josiah to reign instead of Josiah his father, and turneth his name to Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz he hath taken away, and he cometh in to Egypt, and dieth there.

³⁵约雅敬把银子、金子付给法老；为了应付法老的命令，他向全国征收税银，按着他的评估，向每位国民索取金银，好付给法老尼哥。

³⁵And the silver and the gold hath Jehoiakim given to Pharaoh; only he valued the land to give the silver by the command of Pharaoh; from each, according to his valuation, he exacted the silver and the gold, from the people of the land, to give to Pharaoh-Nechoh.

³⁶约雅敬登基的时候是二十五岁，他在耶路撒冷作王十一年。他母亲名叫西布大，是鲁玛人毗大雅的女儿。

³⁶A son of twenty and five years [is] Jehoiakim in his reigning, and eleven years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Zebudah daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah,

³⁷他行耶和华看为恶的事，好像他的祖先一切所行的。

³⁷and he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his fathers did.
