歷代志下 22
1 [阿哈齊雅即位行惡]耶路撒冷居民立了約蘭的小兒阿哈齊雅繼位為王，因為與阿剌伯人同來攻營的匪徒，將他的哥哥全都殺了，因此猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅即位為王。
And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the camp had slain all the eldest. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
2 阿哈齊雅即位年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王一年；他的母親名叫阿塔里雅，是敖默黎的孫女。
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 阿哈齊雅也走了阿哈布家的道路，因為他母親主使他作惡。
He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab. For his mother was his counselor to do wickedly.
4 他行了上主視為惡的事，同阿哈布家一樣，因為自他父親死後，阿哈布家人給他出主意，使他趨於滅亡。
And he did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, as did the house of Ahab. For they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 他隨從了他們的計謀，同以色列王阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭，往辣摩特基肋阿得與阿蘭王哈匝耳交戰；阿蘭人擊傷了耶曷蘭，
He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth-gilead. And the Syrians wounded Joram.
6 耶曷蘭遂回依次勒耳，治療他在辣摩特與阿蘭在哈匝耳交戰時所受的傷。猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅因阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭患病，就下到依次勒耳去探望他。[阿哈齊雅被殺]
And he returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which they had given him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was sick.
7 阿哈齊雅去看望耶曷蘭反而遇害，這原是出於天主；因為他到了以後，便與耶曷蘭出擊尼默史的孫子耶胡，而耶胡即是上主用油所傅，為消滅阿哈布家的。
Now the destruction of Ahaziah was of God, in that he went to Joram, for when he came he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
8 耶胡討伐阿哈布家時，遇到了猶大的一些首領和事奉阿哈齊砑的姪子們，便將他們殺了；
And it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the rulers of Judah, and the sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministering to Ahaziah, and killed them.
9 然後去尋找阿哈齊雅；阿哈齊雅當時藏在撒瑪黎雅，人將他拿住，解到耶胡那裏，耶胡也將他殺了，以後人也埋葬了他，因為人說：「他究竟是那一心尋求上主的約沙法特的孫子。」這樣，阿哈齊雅家中沒有一個人能即位為王。[母后篡位]
And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him (now he was hiding in Samaria). And they brought him to Jehu, and killed him. And they buried him, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And the house of Ahaziah had no power to hold the kingdom.
10 阿哈齊雅的母親阿塔里雅見自己的兒子死了，便起來殲滅了猶大家中所有的王族後裔。
Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
11 約蘭王的女兒約舍巴，將阿哈齊雅的兒子約阿士由被殺的太子中偷了出來，將他和他的乳母藏在聖殿的寢室裏。約舍巴─約蘭王的女兒，約雅達大司祭的妻子，阿哈齊雅的姐妹─就這樣藏匿了約阿士，沒有被阿塔里雅殺害。
But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king's sons who were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not kill him.
12 約阿士與她們在天主殿內隱藏了六年，當時由阿塔里雅主持國政。
And he was with them hid in the house of God six years, and Athaliah reigned over the land.
