列王纪下 11
1 亚哈谢的母亲亚她利雅见她儿子死了，就起来剿灭王室。
And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose up and destroyed all the royal seed.
2 但约兰王的女儿，亚哈谢的妹子约示巴，将亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从那被杀的王子中偷出来，把他和他的乳母都藏在卧房里，躲避亚她利雅，免得被杀。
But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, the sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, [and hid] him and his nurse in the bedchamber; and they hid him from Athaliah, so that he was not slain.
3 约阿施和他的乳母藏在耶和华的殿里六年；亚她利雅篡了国位。
And he was with her hid in the house of Jehovah six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
4 第七年，耶何耶大打发人叫迦利人和护卫兵的众百夫长来，领他们进了耶和华的殿，与他们立约，使他们在耶和华殿里起誓，又将王的儿子指给他们看，
And in the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains of the hundreds, of the bodyguard and the couriers, and brought them to him into the house of Jehovah, and made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of Jehovah, and shewed them the king's son.
5 吩咐他们说：“你们当这样行：凡安息日进班的三分之一要看守王宫，
And he commanded them saying, This is the thing which ye shall do: a third part of you, that come in on the sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house;
6 三分之一要在苏珥门，三分之一要在护卫兵院的后门。这样把守王宫，拦阻闲人。
and a third part shall be at the gate of Sur; and a third part at the gate behind the couriers; and ye shall keep the watch of the house for a defence.
7 你们安息日所有出班的三分之二要在耶和华的殿里护卫王；
And the two parts of you, all those that go forth on the sabbath, even they shall keep the watch of the house of Jehovah about the king.
8 各人手拿兵器，四围护卫王。凡擅入你们班次的必当治死，王出入的时候，你们当跟随他。”
And ye shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that comes within the ranks shall be put to death; and ye shall be with the king when he goes out and when he comes in.
9 众百夫长就照着祭司耶何耶大一切所吩咐的去行，各带所管安息日进班出班的人来见祭司耶何耶大。
And the captains of the hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go forth on the sabbath, and they came to Jehoiada the priest.
10 祭司便将耶和华殿里所藏大卫王的枪和盾牌交给百夫长。
And the priest gave to the captains of the hundreds king David's spears and shields which were in the house of Jehovah.
11 护卫兵手中各拿兵器，在坛和殿那里，从殿右直到殿左，站在王子的四围。
And the couriers stood by the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, toward the altar and the house.
12 祭司领王子出来，给他戴上冠冕，将律法书交给他，膏他作王；众人就拍掌说：“愿王万岁！”
And he brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, Long live the king!
13 亚她利雅听见护卫兵和民的声音，就到民那里，进耶和华的殿，
And Athaliah heard the noise of the couriers [and] of the people; and she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.
14 看见王照例站在柱旁，百夫长和吹号的人侍立在王左右，国中的众民欢乐吹号；亚她利雅就撕裂衣服，喊叫说：“反了！反了！”
And she looked, and behold, the king stood on the dais, according to the custom, and the princes and the trumpeters were by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. And Athaliah rent her garments and cried, Conspiracy! Conspiracy!
15 祭司耶何耶大吩咐管辖军兵的百夫长说：“将她赶出班外，凡跟随她的必用刀杀死！”因为祭司说“不可在耶和华殿里杀她”，
And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Lead her forth without the ranks; and whosoever follows her, slay with the sword; for the priest said, Let her not be put to death in the house of Jehovah.
16 众兵就闪开让她去；她从马路上王宫去，便在那里被杀。
And they made way for her, and she went by the way by which the horses entered the king's house, and there was she put to death.
17 耶何耶大使王和民与耶和华立约，作耶和华的民；又使王与民立约。
And Jehoiada made a covenant between Jehovah and the king and the people, that they should be the people of Jehovah; and between the king and the people.
18 于是国民都到巴力庙，拆毁了庙，打碎坛和像，又在坛前将巴力的祭司玛坦杀了。祭司耶何耶大派官看守耶和华的殿，
Then all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and broke it down: his altars and his images they broke in pieces completely, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of Jehovah.
19 又率领百夫长和迦利人与护卫兵，以及国中的众民，请王从耶和华殿下来，由护卫兵的门进入王宫，他就坐了王位。
And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the bodyguard, and the couriers, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of Jehovah, and came by the way through the gate of the couriers into the king's house. And he sat upon the throne of the kings.
20 国民都欢乐，合城都安静。众人已将亚她利雅在王宫那里用刀杀了。
And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they had slain Athaliah with the sword [beside] the king's house.
21 约阿施登基的时候年方七岁。
Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
