2Ch 15:1-15.
JUDAH MAKES A SOLEMN COVENANT WITH GOD.
1. Azariah the son of Oded--This prophet, who is mentioned nowhere else, appears at this stage of the sacred story in the discharge of an interesting mission. He went to meet Asa, as he was returning from his victorious pursuit of the Ethiopians, and the congratulatory address here recorded was publicly made to the king in presence of his army.

2. 耶和华与你们同在，如同你们与他同在一样——你们在最近辉煌的胜利中，已经得了明显的凭据，证明神的福气与你们同在；你们的得胜就是你们信心与虔诚的赏报。你们若坚定地站在神的一边，便可指望祂继续施恩；但你们若离弃祂，便将很快尝到背道的苦果。
Original em inglês
2. The Lord is with you, while ye be with him--You have had, in your recent signal success, a remarkable proof that God's blessing is upon you; your victory has been the reward of your faith and piety. If you steadfastly adhere to the cause of God, you may expect a continuance of His favor; but if you abandon it, you will soon reap the bitter fruits of apostasy.

3-6. 以色列人不信真神等——有人认为亚撒利雅是指邻国以色列因迷信与偶像崇拜而陷入的凄惨灾祸之境。然而他的话更应从更广的意义上来理解，因为先知显然着眼于民族历史中多个时期——百姓处于所描述的状态：属灵上的贫乏与无知——之中，并指出其自然结果就是普遍的混乱、各支派之间的彼此纷争和普世的苦难
(Jud 9:23; 12:4; 20:21； 2Ch 13:17)。
这些灾祸是神容许临到他们的，作为他们背道的刑罚。亚撒利雅这些话的目的，是要确立他所献之劝诫
(2Ch 15:2)
的真实性，借描述神在以色列历史各时期中一贯的作为方式，警告他们若忽略这劝诫必遭祸患。在向全民的经历发出这呼吁之后，他便以恳切的劝勉作结，劝王继续推进已经开始的改革之工
[2Ch 15:7]。

3-6. Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, &c.--Some think that Azariah was referring to the sad and disastrous condition to which superstition and idolatry had brought the neighboring kingdom of Israel. His words should rather be taken in a wider sense, for it seems manifest that the prophet had his eye upon many periods in the national history, when the people were in the state described--a state of spiritual destitution and ignorance--and exhibited its natural result as widespread anarchy, mutual dissension among the tribes, and general suffering
(Jud 9:23; 12:4; 20:21; 2Ch 13:17).
These calamities God permitted to befall them as the punishment of their apostasy. Azariah's object in these remarks was to establish the truth of his counsel
(2Ch 15:2),
threatening, in case of neglecting it by describing the uniform course of the divine procedure towards Israel, as shown in all periods of their history. Then after this appeal to national experience, he concluded with an earnest exhortation to the king to prosecute the work of reformation so well begun
[2Ch 15:7].

7. 你们要刚强——你们的改革措施既将遭遇反对，就需要极大的决心和不屈的毅力来坚持。
你们的工作必得赏赐——你们为神的缘故和神的荣耀所作的工，必给你们自己和你们的百姓带来最美好的果效。
Original em inglês
7. Be ye strong--Great resolution and indomitable energy would be required to persevere in the face of the opposition your reforming measures will encounter.
your work shall be rewarded--What you do in the cause and for the glory of God will assuredly be followed by the happiest results both to yourself and your subjects.

8. 亚撒……听见俄德先知的预言——插入「俄德先知」这些字，一般被视为经文的窜入。「唯一的补救是将其删去。它们大概是从边注混入正文的残迹」[贝特奥（BERTHEAU）]。
他就壮起胆来——亚撒因亚撒利雅这合时且敬虔的劝勉大受激励，比以往更热心地从事改革，运用他一切的王权和影响力将国中偶像的痕迹根除净尽。
并从他所取以法莲山地各城——他可能取得了以法莲的一些城邑，其征服之事并无记载
(2Ch 17:2)；
但一般以为此处所指乃是其父亚比雅在那一带所取得的城邑
(2Ch 13:19)。
重新修筑耶和华的坛……在廊子前——即燔祭坛。这事既作于这位敬虔之王在位约第十五年，其重修必在于某些辉煌的修葺或修饰，使其看上去如同一次新的奉献；或在于重建一座临时的坛，如同所罗门
(2Ch 7:7)
所筑的，为在临近的场合献上非常的祭物之用。
Original em inglês
8. when Asa heard . . . the prophecy of Oded the prophet--The insertion of these words, "of Oded the prophet," is generally regarded as a corruption of the text. "The sole remedy is to erase them. They are, probably, the remains of a note, which crept in from the margin into the text" [BERTHEAU].
he took courage--Animated by the seasonable and pious address of Azariah, Asa became a more zealous reformer than ever, employing all his royal authority and influence to extirpate every vestige of idolatry from the land.
and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim--He may have acquired cities of Ephraim, the conquest of which is not recorded
(2Ch 17:2);
but it has been commonly supposed that the reference is to cities which his father Abijah had taken in that quarter
(2Ch 13:19).
renewed the altar of the Lord . . . before the porch--that is, the altar of burnt offering. As this was done on or about the fifteenth year of the reign of this pious king, the renewal must have consisted in some splendid repairs or embellishments, which made it look like a new dedication, or in a reconstruction of a temporary altar, like that of Solomon
(2Ch 7:7),
for extraordinary sacrifices to be offered on an approaching occasion.

9-15. 他招聚犹大和便雅悯众人——亚撒对这些较次要的洁净和改进措施并不满足，心中筹谋一个大计划，要使全国宣誓完成改革之工；为此他等候百姓的一次全体大会。
和那些在他们中间寄居的以法莲和玛拿西人——亚撒王国的人口因寄居者不断的涌入而大增；这些人或出于利益的动机，或出于虔诚的动机，在其国内寻求那在以色列纷乱之中所不能得的安全与自由。
并西缅人中——那支派中虽有部分居于犹大境内、已是南方王国的臣民，但西缅人整体已加入北方以色列国的组成。如今他们当中有许多人自行归来。
Original em inglês
9-15. he gathered all Judah and Benjamin--Not satisfied with these minor measures of purification and improvement, Asa meditated a grand scheme which was to pledge his whole kingdom to complete the work of reformation, and with this in view he waited for a general assembly of the people.
and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh--The population of Asa's kingdom had been vastly increased by the continued influx of strangers, who, prompted by motives either of interest or of piety, sought in his dominions that security and freedom which they could not enjoy amid the complicated troubles which distracted Israel.
and out of Simeon--Although a portion of that tribe, located within the territory of Judah, were already subjects of the southern kingdom, the general body of the Simeonites had joined in forming the northern kingdom of Israel. But many of them now returned of their own accord.

10-14. 三月——即守五旬节的月份。这次在耶路撒冷守节，以七百头公牛和七千只羊的特别献祭来庆祝，所献的乃是古实人的掠物。聚集的敬拜者以极大且圣洁的热忱进入全民的盟约，「寻求耶和华他们列祖的神……尽心尽性」；同时严格执行以死罪惩治偶像崇拜的律法
(2Ch 15:13； De 17:2-5； Heb 10:28)。
百姓对这次重要的宗教运动表示了无限的满意；其道德的影响力见于全国敬虔、秩序与太平的增进。
Original em inglês
10-14. the third month--when was held the feast of pentecost. On this occasion, it was celebrated at Jerusalem by an extraordinary sacrifice of seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep, the spoil of the Ethiopians being offered. The assembled worshippers entered with great and holy enthusiasm into a national covenant "to seek the Lord their God . . . with all their heart and with all their soul;" and, at the same time, to execute with rigor the laws which made idolatry punishable with death
(2Ch 15:13; De 17:2-5; Heb 10:28).
The people testified unbounded satisfaction with this important religious movement, and its moral influence was seen in the promotion of piety, order, and tranquillity throughout the land.

18. 他父亲所分别为圣的物——大概是他战胜耶罗波安所得掠物的一部分，这些物虽已分别为圣，但迄今尚未献上。
和他自己分别为圣的物——即从古实人那里掳来的掠物。这两样如今都存于圣殿，作为还愿的供物献给那以右手和圣臂使他们得胜的神。
Original em inglês
18. the things that his father had dedicated--probably part of the booty obtained by his signal victory over Jeroboam, but which, though dedicated, had hitherto been unrepresented.
and that he himself had dedicated--of the booty taken from the Ethiopians. Both of these were now deposited in the temple as votive offerings to Him whose right hand and holy arm had given them the victory.
2Ch 15:1-15.
犹大与神庄重立约
1. 亚撒利雅·俄德的儿子——这位先知在别处从未被提及，他在圣史的这个阶段出现，肩负一项意味深长的使命。他去迎见亚撒——那时亚撒正从对古实人胜利的追击中归来——这里所记的祝贺辞，是在王全军面前公开向王宣告的。
