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, all the elder sons, had the band of men slain who came in with the Arabians into the camp, —so Ahaziah 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。
Forty-two years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Athaliah, 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 too, walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, —for, his mother, became his counselor, to work lawlessness.
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。
Wherefore he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, they, became 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，
Even in their counsel, he walked, and went with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel, to war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians smote 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, because of the wounds wherewith they smote him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael, king of Syria, —and, Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because, sick, was he!
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。
But, from God, came the downfall of Azariah, through his coming to Joram, —and because, through his coming, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Yahweh 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 so it came to pass, when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, —and found the rulers of Judah and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah ministering to Ahaziah, that he slew 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 captured him, he, having hid himself in Samaria, and they brought him unto Jehu, and he put him to death, and they buried him, because, said they, he is, the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Yahweh with all his heart, —and, no one of the house of Ahaziah, had ability for 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。
But, when, Athaliah mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she rose up and destroyed all the seed royal 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, daughter of the king, took Joash son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the sons of the king who were being slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber, —so Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram—wife of Jehoiada the priest, for, she, was the sister of Ahaziah—hid him from the face of Athaliah so that she slew him not.
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 it came to pass that he was with them, in the house of God, hidden six years, -while, Athaliah, was reigning over the land.
