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 Athalia the mother of Ochozias seeing that her son was dead, arose, and slew 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 Josaba the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of Ochozias, and stole him from among the king’s sons that were slain, out of the bedchamber with his nurse: and hid him from the face of Athalia, 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 six years hid in the house of the Lord. And Athalia 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 Joiada seat, and taking the centurions and the soldiers, brought them in to him into the temple of the Lord, and made a covenant with them: and taking an oath of them in the house of the Lord, 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 that you must do:
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。
Let a third part of you go in on the sabbath, and keep the watch of the king’s house. And let a third part be at the gate of Sur: and let a third part be at the gate behind the dwelling of the shieldbearers: and you shall keep the watch of the house of Messa.
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；
But let two parts of you, all that go forth on the sabbath, keep the watch of the house of the Lord 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 you shall compass him round about, having weapons in your hands: and if any man shall enter the precinct of the temple, let him be slain: and you shall be with the king coming in and going out.
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 centurions did according to all things that Joiada the priest had commanded them: and taking every one their men, that went in on the sabbath, with them that went out on the sabbath, came to Joiada 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 he gave them the spears, and the arms of king David, which were in the house of the Lord.
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 they stood having every one their weapons in their hands, from the right side of the temple, unto the left side of the altar, and of the temple, about the king.
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 diadem upon him, and the testimony: and they made him king, and anointed him: and clapping their hands. they said, God save 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 Athalia heard the noise of the people running: and going in to the people into the temple of the Lord,
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！”
She saw the king standing upon a tribunal, as the manner was, and the singers, and the trumpets near him, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and sounding the trumpets: and she rent her garments, and cried: A conspiracy, a 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”，
But Joiada commended the centurions that were over the army, and said to them: Have her forth without the precinct of the temple, and whosoever shall follow her, let him be slain with the sword. For the priest had said: Let her not be slain in the temple of the Lord.
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 laid hands on her: and thrust her out by the way by which the horses go in, by the palace, and she was slain there.
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 Joiada made a covenant between the Lord, and the king, and the people, that they should be the people of the Lord, 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，
And all the people of the land went into the temple of Baal, and broke down his altars, and his images they broke in pieces thoroughly: they slew also Mathan the priest of Baal before the altar. And the priest set guards in the house of the Lord.
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 centurions, and the bands of the Cerethi and the Phelethi, and all the people of the land, and they brought the king from the house of the Lord: and they came by the way of the gate of the shieldbearers into the palace. and he sat on 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: but Athalia was slain with the sword in the king’s house.
21 约阿施登基的时候年方七岁。
Now Joas was seven years old, when he began to reign.
