歷代志下 25
1 [阿瑪責雅登極]阿瑪則雅登極時年二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王凡二十九年；他的母親名叫約阿當，是耶路撒冷人。
Forsothe Amasie, `his sone, regnede for hym; Amasie was of fyue and twenti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnyde nyne and twenti yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Joiaden, of Jerusalem.
2 他行了上主視為正義的事，只是心不專一。
And he dide good in the siyt of the Lord, netheles not in perfit herte.
3 及至王權已掌握在他手中之後，他將弒殺他父王的臣僕殺掉；
And whanne he siy the empire strengthid to hym silf, he stranglide the seruauntis, that killiden the kyng, his fadir;
4 但沒有將他們的子女處死，因為按梅瑟法律書上所載的，上主曾命令說：「不可為兒子的罪處死父親，亦不可為父親的罪處死兒子；每人應為自己的罪被處死刑。」[出征厄東]
but he killide not the sones of hem; as it is writun in the book of the lawe of Moises, where the Lord comaundide, seiynge, Fadris schulen not be slayn for the sones, nether the sones for her fadris; but ech man schal die in his owne synne.
5 阿瑪責雅召集了猶大人，按他們的家族，為全猶大和本雅明安置了千夫長和百夫長，統計了人民，由二十歲及以上的，凡能操槍持盾，能出征上陣的精兵，共有三十萬；
Therfor Amasie gaderide togidere Juda, and ordeynede hem bi meynees and tribunes and centuriouns, in al Juda and Beniamyn; and he noumbride fro twenti yeer and aboue, and he foonde thritti thousynde of yonge men, that yeden out to batel, and helden spere and scheeld.
6 又用一百「塔冷通」銀子，由以色列招募了十萬勇敢的戰士。
Also for mede he hiride of Israel an hundrid thousynde of stronge men, for an hundrid talentis of siluer, that thei schulden fiyte ayens the sones of Edom.
7 有天主的人前來見他，對他說：「請大王不要帶以色列軍隊與你同往，因為上主不與以色列，即厄弗辣因所有的子孫在一起。
Forsothe a man of God cam to hym, and seide, A! kyng, the oost of Israel go not out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel and with alle the sones of Effraym;
8 如果你以為這樣可以戰勝，天主必使你敗於敵人之前，因為天主有能力助人，亦有能力使人潰敗。」
for if thou gessist that batels stonden in the myyt of oost, the Lord schal make thee to be ouercomun of enemyes, for it is of God for to helpe, and to turne in to fliyt.
9 阿瑪責雅問天主的人說：「我已給了以色列僱傭兵一百「塔冷通」銀子，那怎麼辦呢﹖」天主的人回答說：「上主能將比這更多的賜給你。」
And Amasie seide to the man of God, What therfor schal be doon of the hundrid talentis, which Y yaf to the knyytis of Israel? And the man of God answeride to hym, The Lord hath, wherof he may yelde to thee myche mo thingis than these.
10 阿瑪責雅於是將從厄弗辣因來的僱傭兵分出來，遣返回家；因此他們非常懷恨猶大人，憤憤地回了家。
Therfor Amasie departide the oost that cam to hym fro Effraym, that it schulde turne ayen in to his place; and thei weren wrooth greetli ayens Juda, and turneden ayen in to her cuntrei.
11 阿瑪責雅鼓起勇氣，率領自己的軍隊來到鹽谷，擊殺了一萬色依爾人。
Forsothe Amasie ledde out tristili his puple, and yede in to the valei of makyngis of salt, and he killide of the sones of Seir ten thousynde.
12 猶大子民又生擒了一萬，帶到石崖頂上，由石崖頂上將他們推下去，都摔得支離破碎。
And the sones of Juda token othere ten thousynde of men, and brouyten to the hiy scarre of summe stoon; and castiden hem doun fro the hiyeste in to the pit; whiche alle braken.
13 但是，那些被阿瑪責雅遣回，不准一同出征的僱傭兵，卻侵入猶大各城，由撒瑪黎雅直到貝特曷龍，擊殺了三千人，掠去了許多財物。[ 阿瑪責雅敬拜偶像]
And thilke oost whom Amasie hadde sent ayen, that it schulde not go with him to batel, was spred abrood in the citees of Juda fro Samarie `til to Betheron; and aftir `that it hadde slayn thre thousynde, it took awey a greet preie.
14 阿瑪責雅打敗厄東人回來時，也將色依爾子民的神像帶回來，立為自己的神，在他們前焚香頂禮；
And Amasie, after the sleyng of Idumeis, and after that he hadde brouyt the goddis of the sones of Seir, ordeynede hem `in to goddis to hym silf, and worschipide hem, and brente encense to hem.
15 因為上主向阿瑪責雅發怒，派一位先知去見他，對他說：「這個民族的神未能拯救自己的百姓脫離你的手，你為什麼還求他們呢﹖」
Wherfor the Lord was wrooth ayens Amasie, and sente to hym a profete, that seide to hym, Whi worschipist thou goddis that `delyueriden not her puple fro thin hond?
16 先知正與君王說話時，君王對他說：「莫非我們立了你作君王的謀士﹖不必再說! 你為什麼來尋死呢﹖」先知便止住了，只聲明說：「我知道天主已決意要消滅你，因為你作了這事，還不聽從我的勸誡。」[猶大向以色列挑戰]
Whanne the profete spak these thingis, Amasie answeride to hym, Whether thou art a counselour of the king? ceesse thou, lest perauenture Y sle thee. Therfor the profete yede awei, and seide, Y woot, that the Lord thouyte to sle thee; for thou didist this yuel, and ferthermore thou assentidist not to my counsel.
17 猶大王阿瑪責雅聚議以後，便派人到以色列王耶胡的孫子，約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士那裏去說：「來，讓我們見個高低! 」
Therfor Amasie, the king of Juda, whanne he hadde take a ful yuel counsel, sente to the kyng of Israel Joas, the sone of Joachaz, the sone of Hieu, and seide, Come thou, se we vs togidere.
18 以色列王耶曷阿士派人回答猶大王阿瑪責雅說：「黎巴嫩的荊棘派使者去見黎巴嫩的香柏說：將你的女兒嫁給我的兒子為妻! 後來有一隻黎巴嫩的野獸經過，將這棵荊棘踏壞了。
And he sente ayen messangeris, and seide, A `cardue, ether a tasil, which is in the Liban sente to the cedre of the Liban, and seide, Yyue thi douyter a wijf to my sone; and lo! beestis that weren in the wode of the Liban yeden and defouliden the cardue.
19 你想你打敗了厄東，你就心高氣傲，自鳴得意。現在，你還是留在家裏罷! 又何必惹禍，使你和猶大一同喪亡呢﹖」
Thou seidist, Y haue smyte Edom, and therfor thin herte is reysid in to pride; sitte thou in thin hows; whi stirist thou yuel ayens thee, that thou falle, and Juda with thee?
20 但是，阿瑪責雅不肯聽從；這原是出於天主，要將他們交於敵人手中，因為他們求問了厄東的神。
Amasie nolde here, for it was the wille of the Lord, that he schulde be bitakun in to the hondis of enemyes, for the goddis of Edom.
21 於是以色列王耶曷阿士上來，在猶大的貝特舍默士，與猶大王阿瑪責雅相見了。
Therfor Joas, kyng of Israel, stiede, and thei siyen hem silf togidere. Sotheli Amasie, the kyng of Juda, was in Bethsames of Juda;
22 猶大人被以色列擊敗，各自逃回帳幕去了。
and Juda felde doun bifor Israel, and fledde in to his tabernaclis.
23 以色列王耶曷阿士在貝特舍默士生擒了阿哈齊雅的孫子，約阿士的兒子猶大王阿瑪責雅，帶到耶路撒冷，將耶路撒冷的城牆拆了一個缺口，從厄弗辣因門直到角門，共四百肘；
Certis the kyng of Israel took in Bethsames Amasie, the kyng of Juda, the sone of Joas, sone of Joachaz, and brouyte in to Jerusalem; and he destriede the wallis therof fro the yate of Effraym `til to the yate of the corner, bi foure hundrid cubitis.
24 又將敖貝得厄東所看守的天主殿內的一切金銀和器皿，並王宮的財寶都拿了去；又帶著人質，回了撒瑪黎雅。[阿瑪責雅被殺]
And be ledde ayen in to Samarie al the gold and siluer, and alle vessels whiche he foond in the hows of the Lord, and at Obededom, in the tresouris also of the kyngis hows, also and the sones of ostagis.
25 以色列無約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士死後，猶大王約阿士的兒子阿瑪責雅還活了十五年。
Forsothe Amasie, kyng of Juda, the sone of Joas, lyuede fiftene yeer aftir that Joas, kyng of Israel, the sone of Joachaz, was deed.
26 阿瑪責雅前後其餘的事蹟，都記載在猶大和以色列列王實錄上。
Sotheli the residue of the formere and the laste wordis of Amasie ben writun in the book of kyngis of Juda and of Israel.
27 自從阿瑪責雅離棄了上主以後，在耶路撒冷就有人結黨反抗他，他即逃往拉基士，但是叛黨派人追到拉基士，在那裏將他殺死。
And aftir that he yede awei fro the Lord, thei settiden to hym tresouns in Jerusalem; and whanne he hadde fledde to Lachis, thei senten and killiden hym there;
28 然後將他的屍體用馬馱回，葬在達味城，和他的祖先埋在一起。
and thei brouyten ayen on horsis, and birieden hym with his fadris in the citee of Dauid.
