(续上)经文说:法老尼哥差遣使者对约西亚说:犹大王啊,我与你何干?我今日来不是要攻击你,乃是要攻击与我争战之家,神吩咐我速行;你不要干预与我同在的神,免得他毁灭你。可见尼哥本无意与约西亚交战。

「他差遣使者去见他,说:犹大王啊,我与你何干?
“But he sent ambassadors to him saying: What have I to do with you, king of Judea?
-
我今日来不是要攻击你,乃是要攻击与我争战之家,并且神吩咐我速行。
I do not come against you this day, but against the house with which I am at war; and God has commanded me to make haste.
-
你不要干预那与我同在的神,免得他毁灭你」(历代志下 35:21)。
Forbear from meddling with God, Who is with me, so that He will not destroy you” (II Chronicles 35:21).
和合本此句作「你不要干预神的事,免得他毁灭你,因为神是与我同在」;此处照英译语序,以便下段解「与我同在的神」。

这清楚表明,法老尼哥无意与约西亚交战。
This clearly shows that Pharaoh Neco had no intention of engaging Josiah in battle.
