列王纪下 14

1 以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施第二年，犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢登基。

In the second year of Joash son of Joahaz king of Israel, began Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah to reign.

2 他登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫约耶但，是耶路撒冷人。

Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

3 亚玛谢行耶和华眼中看为正的事，但不如他祖大卫，乃效法他父约阿施一切所行的；

And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, only, not like David his father: according to all that Joash his father did, so he did;

4 只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。

only, the high places, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.

5 国一坚定，就把杀他父王的臣仆杀了，

And it came to pass that, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, he smote his servants who smote the king his father;

6 却没有治死杀王之人的儿子，是照摩西律法书上耶和华所吩咐的说：“不可因子杀父，也不可因父杀子，各人要为本身的罪而死。”

but, the sons of them that smote him, slew he not, —as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh commanded, saying—Fathers, shall not be put to death, for sons, nor shall, sons, be put to death, for fathers, but every man, for his own sin, shall be put to death.

7 亚玛谢在盐谷杀了以东人一万，又攻取了西拉，改名叫约帖，直到今日。

He, smote Edom, in the valley of salt, ten thousand, and seized Sela, in the war, —and called the name thereof Joktheel, [as it is] until this day.

8 那时，亚玛谢差遣使者去见耶户的孙子约哈斯的儿子以色列王约阿 施，说：“你来，我们二人相见于战场。”

Then, sent Amaziah messengers unto Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, —Come now, let us look one another in the face.

9 以色列王约阿施差遣使者去见犹大王亚玛谢，说：“黎巴嫩的蒺藜差遣使者去见黎巴嫩的香柏树，说：将你的女儿给我儿子为妻。后来黎巴嫩有一只野兽经过，把蒺藜践踏了。

And Jehoash king of Israel sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying—Give thy daughter to my son to wife, —and there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, and trampled down the thistle:

10 你打败了以东人就心高气傲，你以此为荣耀，在家里安居就罢了，为何要惹祸，使自己和犹大国一同败亡呢？”

Thou hast, smitten, Edom, and, thy heart, would lift thee up, —Glory, and stay at home! Wherefore, then, shouldest thou contend with misfortune, and fall, thou, and Judah with thee?

11 亚玛谢却不肯听这话。于是以色列王约阿施上来，在犹大的伯·示麦与犹大王亚玛谢相见于战场。

But Amaziah hearkened not. So then Jehoash king of Israel came up, and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, —in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah.

12 犹大人败在以色列人面前，各自逃回家里去了。

Then was Judah defeated before Israel, —and they fled, every man to his own home;

13 以色列王约阿施在伯·示麦擒住亚哈谢的孙子、约阿施的儿子犹大王亚玛谢，就来到耶路撒冷，拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙，从以法莲门直到角门共四百肘，

and, upon Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, did Jehoash king of Israel, seize, in Beth-shemesh, —and entered Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim, as far as the corner gate, four hundred cubits;

14 又将耶和华殿里与王宫府库里所有的金银和器皿都拿了去，并带人去为质，就回撒马利亚去了。

and took all the gold and the silver and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and hostages, —and returned to Samaria.

15 约阿施其余所行的事和他的勇力，并与犹大王亚玛谢争战的事，都写在以色列诸王记上。

Now, the rest of the story of Jehoash, what he did, and his might and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

16 约阿施与他列祖同睡，葬在撒马利亚，以色列诸王的坟地里。他儿子耶罗波安接续他作王。

And Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel, —and, Jeroboam his son, reigned, in his stead.

17 以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施死后，犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢又活了十五年。

And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, lived, after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, fifteen years.

18 亚玛谢其余的事都写在犹大列王记上。

Now, the rest of the story of Amaziah, is, it, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

19 耶路撒冷有人背叛亚玛谢，他就逃到拉吉；叛党却打发人到拉吉将他杀了。

And, when they made against him a conspiracy in Jerusalem, he fled to Lachish, —but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him, there.

20 人就用马将他的尸首驮到耶路撒冷，葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。

And they bare him on horses, —and he was buried in Jerusalem, with his fathers, in the city of David.

21 犹大众民立亚玛谢的儿子亚撒利雅接续他父作王，那时他年十六岁。

And all the people of Judah took Azariah, he, being sixteen yearn old, —and made, him, king instead of his father Amaziah.

22 亚玛谢与他列祖同睡之后，亚撒利雅收回以拉他仍归犹大，又重新修理。

He, built Elath, and restored it to Judah, —after the king slept with his fathers.

23 犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢十五年，以色列王约阿施的儿子耶罗波安在撒马利亚登基，作王四十一年。

In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, began Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel, to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] forty-one years.

24 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，不离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的一切罪。

And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit.

25 他收回以色列边界之地，从哈马口直到亚拉巴海，正如耶和华—以色列的 神借他仆人迦特希弗人亚米太的儿子先知约拿所说的。

He, restored the boundary of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the sea of the waste plain, —according to the word of Yahweh, God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who was of Gath-hepher.

26 因为耶和华看见以色列人甚是艰苦，无论困住的、自由的都没有了，也无人帮助以色列人。

For Yahweh saw the humiliation of Israel, that it was bitter, indeed, —and that there was no one shut up, nor any one left at large, no one indeed to help Israel.

27 耶和华并没有说要将以色列的名从天下涂抹，乃借约阿施的儿子耶罗波安拯救他们。

Neither had Yahweh spoken, to wipe out the name of Israel from under the heavens, —so he saved them, by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.

28 耶罗波安其余的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力，他怎样争战，怎样收回大马士革和先前属犹大的哈马归以色列，都写在以色列诸王记上。

Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might when he warred, and how he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

29 耶罗波安与他列祖以色列诸王同睡。他儿子撒迦利雅接续他作王。

And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, —and, Zechariah his son, reigned, in his stead.
