全新四年樂活讀經
經文: 歷代志下 35:22 約西亞卻不肯轉去離開他，改裝要與他打仗，不聽從神藉尼哥之口所說的話，便來到米吉多平原爭戰。
默想: 約西亞王在聖經的記載，是一生敬畏耶和華，專一敬拜耶和華，努力清除所有的偶像，用心舉辦逾越節慶典，成為以色列歷史中，從撒母耳以來最盛大的慶典。但是很令人遺憾的，他堅持要變裝與埃及法老王尼哥爭戰，卻不幸的被一位弓箭手射成重傷，而命喪疆場。耶和華藉著法老王尼哥向約西亞王說話，勸約西亞王不要與尼哥爭戰，這是很特別的啟示。求主保守我，會小心謙卑的聽非基督徒的話，或許上帝也會藉著非基督徒來向我說話。
題目: 約西亞不聽上帝藉著埃及王尼哥說的話…而死於戰場。(v22)試想，你相信上主也會藉著非基督徒向你說話嗎?
35:1 約西亞在耶路撒冷向耶和華守逾越節。正月十四日，就宰了逾越節的羊羔。
Josi'ah kept a passover to the LORD in Jerusalem; and they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the first month.
35:2 王分派祭司各盡其職，又勉勵他們辦耶和華殿中的事；
He appointed the priests to their offices and encouraged them in the service of the house of the LORD.
35:3 又對那歸耶和華為聖、教訓以色列人的利未人說：「你們將聖約櫃安放在以色列王大衛兒子所羅門建造的殿裡，不必再用肩扛抬。現在要事奉耶和華─你們的 神，服事他的民以色列。
And he said to the Levites who taught all Israel and who were holy to the LORD, "Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built; you need no longer carry it upon your shoulders. Now serve the LORD your God and his people Israel.
35:4 你們應當按著宗族，照著班次，遵以色列王大衛和他兒子所羅門所寫的，自己預備。
Prepare yourselves according to your fathers' houses by your divisions, following the directions of David king of Israel and the directions of Solomon his son.
35:5 要按著你們的弟兄，這民宗族的班次，站在聖所，每班中要利未宗族的幾個人。
And stand in the holy place according to the groupings of the fathers' houses of your brethren the lay people, and let there be for each a part of a father's house of the Levites.
35:6 要宰逾越節的羊羔，潔淨自己，為你們的弟兄預備了，好遵守耶和華藉摩西所吩咐的話。」
And kill the passover lamb, and sanctify yourselves, and prepare for your brethren, to do according to the word of the LORD by Moses."
35:7 約西亞從群畜中賜給在那裡所有的人民，綿羊羔和山羊羔三萬隻，牛三千隻，作逾越節的祭物；這都是出自王的產業中。
Then Josi'ah contributed to the lay people, as passover offerings for all that were present, lambs and kids from the flock to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand bulls; these were from the king's possessions.
35:8 約西亞的眾首領也樂意將犧牲給百姓和祭司利未人；又有管理 神殿的希勒家、撒迦利亞、耶歇將羊羔二千六百隻，牛三百隻，給祭司作逾越節的祭物。
And his princes contributed willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilki'ah, Zechari'ah, and Jehi'el, the chief officers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the passover offerings two thousand six hundred lambs and kids and three hundred bulls.
35:9 利未人的族長歌楠雅和他兩個兄弟示瑪雅、拿坦業，與哈沙比雅、耶利、約撒拔將羊羔五千隻，牛五百隻，給利未人作逾越節的祭物。
Conani'ah also, and Shemai'ah and Nethan'el his brothers, and Hashabi'ah and Je-i'el and Jo'zabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the passover offerings five thousand lambs and kids and five hundred bulls.
35:10 這樣，供獻的事齊備了。祭司站在自己的地方，利未人按著班次站立，都是照王所吩咐的。
When the service had been prepared for, the priests stood in their place, and the Levites in their divisions according to the king's command.
35:11 利未人宰了逾越節的羊羔，祭司從他們手裡接過血來灑在壇上；利未人剝皮，
And they killed the passover lamb, and the priests sprinkled the blood which they received from them while the Levites flayed the victims.
35:12 將燔祭搬來，按著宗族的班次分給眾民，好照摩西書上所寫的，獻給耶和華；獻牛也是這樣。
And they set aside the burnt offerings that they might distribute them according to the groupings of the fathers' houses of the lay people, to offer to the LORD, as it is written in the book of Moses. And so they did with the bulls.
35:13 他們按著常例，用火烤逾越節的羊羔。別的聖物用鍋，用釜，用罐煮了，速速地送給眾民。
And they roasted the passover lamb with fire according to the ordinance; and they boiled the holy offerings in pots, in caldrons, and in pans, and carried them quickly to all the lay people.
35:14 然後為自己和祭司預備祭物；因為祭司亞倫的子孫獻燔祭和脂油，直到晚上。所以利未人為自己和祭司亞倫的子孫，預備祭物。
And afterward they prepared for themselves and for the priests, because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering the burnt offerings and the fat parts until night; so the Levites prepared for themselves and for the priests the sons of Aaron.
35:15 歌唱的亞薩之子孫，照著大衛、亞薩、希幔，和王的先見耶杜頓所吩咐的，站在自己的地位上。守門的看守各門，不用離開他們的職事，因為他們的弟兄利未人給他們預備祭物。
The singers, the sons of Asaph, were in their place according to the command of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jedu'thun the king's seer; and the gatekeepers were at each gate; they did not need to depart from their service, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
35:16 當日，供奉耶和華的事齊備了，就照約西亞王的吩咐守逾越節，獻燔祭在耶和華的壇上。
So all the service of the LORD was prepared that day, to keep the passover and to offer burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD, according to the command of King Josi'ah.
35:17 當時在耶路撒冷的以色列人守逾越節，又守除酵節七日。
And the people of Israel who were present kept the passover at that time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
35:18 自從先知撒母耳以來，在以色列中沒有守過這樣的逾越節，以色列諸王也沒有守過，像約西亞、祭司、利未人、在那裡的猶大人，和以色列人，以及耶路撒冷居民所守的逾越節。
No passover like it had been kept in Israel since the days of Samuel the prophet; none of the kings of Israel had kept such a passover as was kept by Josi'ah, and the priests and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel who were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
35:19 這逾越節是約西亞作王十八年守的。
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josi'ah this passover was kept.
35:20 這事以後，約西亞修完了殿，有埃及王尼哥上來，要攻擊靠近伯拉河的迦基米施；約西亞出去抵擋他。
After all this, when Josi'ah had prepared the temple, Neco king of Egypt went up to fight at Car'chemish on the Euphra'tes and Josi'ah went out against him.
35:21 他差遣使者來見約西亞，說：「猶大王啊，我與你何干？我今日來不是要攻擊你，乃是要攻擊與我爭戰之家，並且 神吩咐我速行，你不要干預 神的事，免得他毀滅你，因為 神是與我同在。」
But he sent envoys to him, saying, "What have we to do with each other, king of Judah? I am not coming against you this day, but against the house with which I am at war; and God has commanded me to make haste. Cease opposing God, who is with me, lest he destroy you."
35:22 約西亞卻不肯轉去離開他，改裝要與他打仗，不聽從 神藉尼哥之口所說的話，便來到米吉多平原爭戰。
Nevertheless Josi'ah would not turn away from him, but disguised himself in order to fight with him. He did not listen to the words of Neco from the mouth of God, but joined battle in the plain of Megid'do.
35:23 弓箭手射中約西亞王。王對他的臣僕說：「我受了重傷，你拉我出陣吧！」
And the archers shot King Josi'ah; and the king said to his servants, "Take me away, for I am badly wounded."
35:24 他的臣僕扶他下了戰車，上了次車，送他到耶路撒冷，他就死了，葬在他列祖的墳墓裡。猶大人和耶路撒冷人都為他悲哀。
So his servants took him out of the chariot and carried him in his second chariot and brought him to Jerusalem. And he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. All Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josi'ah.
35:25 耶利米為約西亞作哀歌。所有歌唱的男女也唱哀歌，追悼約西亞，直到今日；而且在以色列中成了定例。這歌載在哀歌書上。
Jeremiah also uttered a lament for Josi'ah; and all the singing men and singing women have spoken of Josi'ah in their laments to this day. They made these an ordinance in Israel; behold, they are written in the Laments.
35:26 約西亞其餘的事和他遵著耶和華律法上所記而行的善事，
Now the rest of the acts of Josi'ah, and his good deeds according to what is written in the law of the LORD,
35:27 並他自始至終所行的，都寫在以色列和猶大列王記上。
and his acts, first and last, behold, they are written in the Book of the Kings of Israel and Judah.
