< 历代志下 25 >
1 亚玛谢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。
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.
And he dide good in the siyt of the Lord, netheles not in perfit herte.
And whanne he siy the empire strengthid to hym silf, he stranglide the seruauntis, that killiden the kyng, his fadir;
4 却没有治死他们的儿子,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 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 亚玛谢招聚犹大人,按着犹大和便雅悯的宗族设立千夫长、百夫长,又数点人数,从二十岁以外,能拿枪拿盾牌出去打仗的精兵共有三十万;
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 又用银子一百他连得,从以色列招募了十万大能的勇士。
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 有一个神人来见亚玛谢,对他说:“王啊,不要使以色列的军兵与你同去,因为耶和华不与以色列人以法莲的后裔同在。
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 你若一定要去,就奋勇争战吧!但 神必使你败在敌人面前;因为 神能助人得胜,也能使人倾败。”
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 亚玛谢问神人说:“我给了以色列军的那一百他连得银子怎么样呢?”神人回答说:“耶和华能把更多的赐给你。”
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 于是亚玛谢将那从以法莲来的军兵分别出来,叫他们回家去。故此,他们甚恼怒犹大人,气忿忿地回家去了。
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 亚玛谢壮起胆来,率领他的民到盐谷,杀了西珥人一万。
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 犹大人又生擒了一万带到山崖上,从那里把他们扔下去,以致他们都摔碎了。
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 但亚玛谢所打发回去、不许一同出征的那些军兵攻打犹大各城,从撒马利亚直到伯·和 ,杀了三千人,抢了许多财物。
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 亚玛谢杀了以东人回来,就把西珥的神像带回,立为自己的神,在它面前叩拜烧香。
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 因此,耶和华的怒气向亚玛谢发作,就差一个先知去见他,说:“这些神不能救它的民脱离你的手,你为何寻求它呢?”
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 先知与王说话的时候,王对他说:“谁立你作王的谋士呢?你住口吧!为何找打呢?”先知就止住了,又说:“你行这事,不听从我的劝戒,我知道 神定意要灭你。”
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 犹大王亚玛谢与群臣商议,就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。”
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。’后来黎巴嫩有一个野兽经过,把蒺藜践踏了。
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 你说:‘看哪,我打败了以东人’,你就心高气傲,以致矜夸。你在家里安居就罢了,为何要惹祸使自己和犹大国一同败亡呢?”
Thou 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 亚玛谢却不肯听从。这是出乎 神,好将他们交在敌人手里,因为他们寻求以东的神。
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 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。
Therfor Joas, kyng of Israel, stiede, and thei siyen hem silf togidere. Sotheli Amasie, the kyng of Juda, was in Bethsames of Juda;
and Juda felde doun bifor Israel, and fledde in to his tabernaclis.
23 以色列王约阿施在伯·示麦擒住约哈斯的孙子、约阿施的儿子、犹大王亚玛谢,将他带到耶路撒冷,又拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙,从以法莲门直到角门,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 又将俄别·以东所看守 神殿里的一切金银和器皿,与王宫里的财宝都拿了去,并带人去为质,就回撒马利亚去了。
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。
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 亚玛谢其余的事,自始至终不都写在犹大和以色列诸王记上吗?
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 自从亚玛谢离弃耶和华之后,在耶路撒冷有人背叛他,他就逃到拉吉;叛党却打发人到拉吉,将他杀了。
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 人就用马将他的尸首驮回,葬在犹大京城他列祖的坟地里。
and thei brouyten ayen on horsis, and birieden hym with his fadris in the citee of Dauid.
