Chapter 15

¹以色列王耶羅波安二十七年，猶大王亞瑪謝的兒子亞撒利雅登基，

²He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.

²他登基的時候年十六歲，在耶路撒冷作王五十二年。他母親名叫耶可利雅，是耶路撒冷人。

³He did right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

³亞撒利雅行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他父親亞瑪謝一切所行的；

⁴Only the high places were not taken away; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.

⁴只是邱壇還沒有廢去，百姓仍在那裡獻祭燒香。

⁵The LORD struck the king, so that he was a leper to the day of his death. And he lived in a separate house, while Jotham the king's son was over the household, judging the people of the land.

⁵耶和華降災與王，使他長大痲瘋，直到死日，他就住在別的宮裡。他的兒子約坦管理家事，治理國民。
