列王紀下 15
1 以色列王雅洛貝罕二十七年，阿瑪責雅的兒子阿匝黎雅登極為猶大王。
Azariah, son of Amaziah, became king of Judah in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
2 他登極時十六歲，在耶路撒冷作王凡五十二年；他母親名叫耶苛里雅，是耶路撒冷人。
He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for fifty-two years. His mother's name was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
3 阿匝黎雅行了上主視為正義的事，完全像他父親阿瑪責雅所行的一樣，
He did what was right in the Lord's sight, just as his father Amaziah had done.
4 只是高丘仍沒有廢除，人民仍在高丘上焚香獻祭。
But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burnt offerings in those places.
5 上主打擊了君王，君王即患了癩病，直到他死的那一天，獨自住在一所王宮裡。那時，君王的兒子約堂代理朝事，統治國家的百姓。
The Lord touched the king and he had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in isolation in a separate house. His son Jotham was in charge of the palace and was the country's actual ruler.
6 阿匝黎雅其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
The rest of what happened in Azariah's reign and all he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
7 阿匝黎雅與祖先同眠，與祖先同葬在達味城；他的兒子約堂繼位為王。
Azariah died and was buried with his fore fathers in the City of David. His son Jotham succeeded him as king.
8 猶大王阿匝黎雅三十八年，雅洛貝罕的兒子則加黎雅在撒瑪黎雅登極為以色列王，在位六個月；
Zechariah, son of Jeroboam, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Azariah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for six months.
9 他行了上主視為惡的事，像他的祖先所行的一樣，沒有離開乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕，使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, as his forefathers had done. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
10 雅貝士的兒子沙隆結黨反叛他，在依貝肋罕殺了他，篡位為王。
Then Shallum, son of Jabesh, plotted against Zechariah. He attacked him, murdering him in front of the people, and took over as king.
11 則加黎雅其餘的事蹟都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
The rest of the events of Zechariah's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
12 這正應驗了上主對耶胡所說的話：「你的子孫要坐以色列王位，直到第四代。」
In this way what the Lord told Jehu came true: “Your descendants will sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”

16 以後，默納恒從提爾匝出發攻打塔普亞，又攻打其四境，因為人沒有給他開城門，所以攻破以後，屠殺了城中所有的人，剖開了所有的孕婦。
At that time Menahem, starting from Tirzah, attacked Tiphsah and the region nearby, because they would not surrender the town to him. So he destroyed Tiphsah and ripped open all the pregnant women.

Menahem, son of Gadi, became king of Israel in the thirty-ninth year of the reign of King Azariah of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for ten years.
18 行了上主視為惡的事，在他有生之日，始終沒有離開乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕，使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
Throughout his reign he did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He did not end the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit.
19 那時，亞述王普耳前來犯境，默納恒就送給了普耳一千「塔冷通」銀子，要求他扶持自己，鞏固自己的王權。
Pul, king of Assyria, invaded the country. Menahem paid Pul a thousand talents of silver to support Menahem in consolidating his power over the kingdom.

During the reign of Pekah, king of Israel, Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, invaded and captured Ijon, Abel-beth-maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, Gilead, Galilee, and all the land of Naphtali, and he took the people to Assyria as prisoners.
