全新四年樂活讀經
經文: 歷代志下 34:26-28 然而差遣你們來求問耶和華的猶大王，你們要這樣回覆他說：『耶和華以色列的神如此說：至於你所聽見的話，就是聽見我指著這地和其上居民所說的話，你便心裡敬服，在我面前自卑，撕裂衣服，向我哭泣，因此我應允了你。這是我耶和華說的。我必使你平平安安的歸到墳墓，到你列祖那裡，我要降與這地和其上居民的一切災禍，你也不至親眼看見。』」他們就回覆王去了。
默想: 感謝神，瑪拿西王在被亞述王用鐃鉤銅鍊擄到異鄉時，才痛下決心誨改歸向耶和華。瑪拿西王在被擄歸回之後，便努力的拆除耶路撒冷與聖殿中的偶像。瑪拿西王去世時，他那才八歲的兒子約西亞登基為王。他等了十二年，才動手潔淨耶路撒冷城與猶大地。由此我們可以看到瑪拿西王的拆除偶像，並沒有進行的很徹底。約西亞王在重修聖殿時，祭司希勒家偶然間發現摩西所傳下來的律法書，
便輾轉經書記沙番的手傳到約西亞王那裡。約西亞王一看那律法書的內容，大吃一驚，便發起悔改認罪的靈命更新運動。耶和華藉著女先知戶勒大的口，向約西亞王傳達耶和華公義的審判中，對於謙卑慟悔的約西亞王還彰顯慈悲的恩典。求主讓我常會在主面前誠實認罪，謙卑悔改，好從神得到公義審判中那慈悲的恩典。
題目: 約西亞王把境內所有可憎的偶像都拆毀，此事上主早在北國開國君王耶羅波安築壇獻祭時，即藉先知預言：「大衛的家要生一子，名叫約西亞…」(王上13:1-10)試想，你曾經歷上主不失落的話嗎？
34:1 約西亞登基的時候年八歲，在耶路撒冷作王三十一年。
Josi'ah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty-one years in Jerusalem.
34:2 他行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他祖大衛所行的，不偏左右。
He did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father; and he did not turn aside to the right or to the left.
34:3 他作王第八年，尚且年幼，就尋求他祖大衛的 神。到了十二年才潔淨猶大和耶路撒冷，除掉邱壇、木偶、雕刻的像，和鑄造的像。
For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet a boy, he began to seek the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem of the high places, the Ashe'rim, and the graven and the molten images.
34:4 眾人在他面前拆毀巴力的壇，砍斷壇上高高的日像，又把木偶和雕刻的像，並鑄造的像打碎成灰，撒在祭偶像人的墳上，
And they broke down the altars of the Ba'als in his presence; and he hewed down the incense altars which stood above them; and he broke in pieces the Ashe'rim and the graven and the molten images, and he made dust of them and strewed it over the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.
34:5 將他們祭司的骸骨燒在壇上，潔淨了猶大和耶路撒冷；
He also burned the bones of the priests on their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.
34:6 又在瑪拿西、以法蓮、西緬、拿弗他利各城，和四圍破壞之處，都這樣行；
And in the cities of Manas'seh, E'phraim, and Simeon, and as far as Naph'tali, in their ruins round about,
34:7 又拆毀祭壇，把木偶和雕刻的像打碎成灰，砍斷以色列遍地所有的日像，就回耶路撒冷去了。
he broke down the altars, and beat the Ashe'rim and the images into powder, and hewed down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel. Then he returned to Jerusalem.
34:8 約西亞王十八年，淨地淨殿之後，就差遣亞薩利雅的兒子沙番、邑宰瑪西雅、約哈斯的兒子史官約亞去修理耶和華─他 神的殿。
Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azali'ah, and Ma-asei'ah the governor of the city, and Jo'ah the son of Jo'ahaz, the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.
34:9 他們就去見大祭司希勒家，將奉到 神殿的銀子交給他；這銀子是看守殿門的利未人從瑪拿西、以法蓮，和一切以色列剩下的人，以及猶大、便雅憫眾人，並耶路撒冷的居民收來的。
They came to Hilki'ah the high priest and delivered the money that had been brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the threshold, had collected from Manas'seh and E'phraim and from all the remnant of Israel and from all Judah and Benjamin and from the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
34:10 又將這銀子交給耶和華殿裡督工的，轉交修理耶和華殿的工匠，
They delivered it to the workmen who had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen who were working in the house of the LORD gave it for repairing and restoring the house.
34:11 就是交給木匠、石匠，買鑿成的石頭和架木與棟梁，修猶大王所毀壞的殿。
They gave it to the carpenters and the builders to buy quarried stone, and timber for binders and beams for the buildings which the kings of Judah had let go to ruin.
34:12 這些人辦事誠實，督工的是利未人米拉利的子孫雅哈、俄巴底；督催的是哥轄的子孫撒迦利亞、米書蘭；還有善於作樂的利未人。
And the men did the work faithfully. Over them were set Jahath and Obadi'ah the Levites, of the sons of Merar'i, and Zechari'ah and Meshul'lam, of the sons of the Ko'hathites, to have oversight. The Levites, all who were skilful with instruments of music,
34:13 他們又監管扛抬的人，督催一切做工的。利未人中也有作書記、作司事、作守門的。
were over the burden bearers and directed all who did work in every kind of service; and some of the Levites were scribes, and officials, and gatekeepers.
34:14 他們將奉到耶和華殿的銀子運出來的時候，祭司希勒家偶然得了摩西所傳耶和華的律法書。
While they were bringing out the money that had been brought into the house of the LORD, Hilki'ah the priest found the book of the law of the LORD given through Moses.
34:15 希勒家對書記沙番說：「我在耶和華殿裡得了律法書。」遂將書遞給沙番。
Then Hilki'ah said to Shaphan the secretary, "I have found the book of the law in the house of the LORD"; and Hilki'ah gave the book to Shaphan.
34:16 沙番把書拿到王那裡，回覆王說：「凡交給僕人們辦的都辦理了。
Shaphan brought the book to the king, and further reported to the king, "All that was committed to your servants they are doing.
34:17 耶和華殿裡的銀子倒出來，交給督工的和匠人的手裡了。」
They have emptied out the money that was found in the house of the LORD and have delivered it into the hand of the overseers and the workmen."
34:18 書記沙番又對王說：「祭司希勒家遞給我一卷書。」沙番就在王面前讀那書。
Then Shaphan the secretary told the king, "Hilki'ah the priest has given me a book." And Shaphan read it before the king.
34:19 王聽見律法上的話，就撕裂衣服，
When the king heard the words of the law he rent his clothes.
34:20 吩咐希勒家與沙番的兒子亞希甘、米迦的兒子亞比頓、書記沙番，和王的臣僕亞撒雅說：
And the king commanded Hilki'ah, Ahi'kam the son of Shaphan, Abdon the son of Micah, Shaphan the secretary, and Asai'ah the king's servant, saying,
34:21 「你們去為我、為以色列和猶大剩下的人，以這書上的話求問耶和華；因我們列祖沒有遵守耶和華的言語，沒有照這書上所記的去行，耶和華的烈怒就倒在我們身上。」
"Go, inquire of the LORD for me and for those who are left in Israel and in Judah, concerning the words of the book that has been found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD, to do according to all that is written in this book."
34:22 於是，希勒家和王所派的眾人都去見女先知戶勒大。戶勒大是掌管禮服沙龍的妻，沙龍是哈斯拉的孫子、特瓦的兒子。戶勒大住在耶路撒冷第二區；他們請問於她。
So Hilki'ah and those whom the king had sent went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter) and spoke to her to that effect.
34:23 她對他們說：「耶和華─以色列的 神如此說：『你們可以回覆那差遣你們來見我的人說，
And she said to them, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: `Tell the man who sent you to me,
34:24 耶和華如此說：我必照著在猶大王面前所讀那書上的一切咒詛，降禍與這地和其上的居民；
Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the book which was read before the king of Judah.
34:25 因為他們離棄我，向別神燒香，用他們手所做的惹我發怒，所以我的忿怒如火倒在這地上，總不息滅。』
Because they have forsaken me and have burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the works of their hands, therefore my wrath will be poured out upon this place and will not be quenched.
34:26 然而差遣你們來求問耶和華的猶大王，你們要這樣回覆他說：『耶和華─以色列的 神如此說：至於你所聽見的話，
But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall you say to him, Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Regarding the words which you have heard,
34:27 就是聽見我指著這地和其上居民所說的話，你便心裡敬服，在我面前自卑，撕裂衣服，向我哭泣，因此我應允了你。這是我─耶和華說的。
because your heart was penitent and you humbled yourself before God when you heard his words against this place and its inhabitants, and you have humbled yourself before me, and have rent your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, says the LORD.
34:28 我必使你平平安安地歸到墳墓，到你列祖那裡，我要降與這地和其上居民的一切災禍，你也不致親眼看見。』」他們就回覆王去了。
Behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I will bring upon this place and its inhabitants.'" And they brought back word to the king.
34:29 王差遣人招聚猶大和耶路撒冷的眾長老來。
Then the king sent and gathered together all the elders of Judah and Jerusalem.
34:30 王和猶大眾人，與耶路撒冷的居民，並祭司利未人，以及所有的百姓，無論大小，都一同上到耶和華的殿；王就把殿裡所得的約書念給他們聽。
And the king went up to the house of the LORD, with all the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem and the priests and the Levites, all the people both great and small; and he read in their hearing all the words of the book of the covenant which had been found in the house of the LORD.
34:31 王站在他的地位上，在耶和華面前立約，要盡心盡性地順從耶和華，遵守他的誡命、法度、律例，成就這書上所記的約言；
And the king stood in his place and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD and to keep his commandments and his testimonies and his statutes, with all his heart and all his soul, to perform the words of the covenant that were written in this book.
34:32 又使住耶路撒冷和便雅憫的人都服從這約。於是耶路撒冷的居民都遵行他們列祖之 神的約。
Then he made all who were present in Jerusalem and in Benjamin stand to it. And the inhabitants of Jerusalem did according to the covenant of God, the God of their fathers.
34:33 約西亞從以色列各處將一切可憎之物盡都除掉，使以色列境內的人都事奉耶和華─他們的 神。約西亞在世的日子，就跟從耶和華─他們列祖的 神，總不離開。
And Josi'ah took away all the abominations from all the territory that belonged to the people of Israel, and made all who were in Israel serve the LORD their God. All his days they did not turn away from following the LORD the God of their fathers.
