< 歷代志下 22 >
1 耶路撒冷的居民立約蘭的小兒子亞哈謝接續他作王;因為跟隨阿拉伯人來攻營的軍兵曾殺了亞哈謝的眾兄長。這樣,猶大王約蘭的兒子亞哈謝作了王。
And the inhabitants of Ierusalem made Ahaziah his yongest sonne King in his steade: for the armie that came with the Arabians to the campe, had slayne all the eldest: therefore Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah reigned.
2 亞哈謝登基的時候年四十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王一年。他母親名叫亞她利雅,是暗利的孫女。
Two and fourtie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yeere in Ierusalem. and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.
3 亞哈謝也行亞哈家的道;因為他母親給他主謀,使他行惡。
He walked also in the wayes of the house of Ahab: for his mother counselled him to doe wickedly.
4 他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,像亞哈家一樣;因他父親死後有亞哈家的人給他主謀,以致敗壞。
Wherefore he did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for they were his counsellers after the death of his father, to his destruction.
5 他聽從亞哈家的計謀,同以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭往基列的拉末去,與亞蘭王哈薛爭戰;亞蘭人打傷了約蘭。
And he walked after their counsel, and went with Iehoram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Aramites smote Ioram.
6 約蘭回到耶斯列,醫治在拉末與亞蘭王哈薛打仗所受的傷,猶大王約蘭的兒子亞撒利雅因為亞哈的兒子約蘭病了,就下到耶斯列看望他。
And he returned to be healed in Izreel, because of the woundes wherewith they had wounded him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael King of Aram. Nowe Azariah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Iehoram the sonne of Ahab at Izreel, because hee was diseased.
7 亞哈謝去見約蘭就被害了,這是出乎上帝;因為他到了,就同約蘭出去攻擊寧示的孫子耶戶。這耶戶是耶和華所膏、使他剪除亞哈家的。
And the destruction of Ahaziah came of God in that he went to Ioram: for when he was come, he went forth with Iehoram against Iehu the sonne of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
8 耶戶討亞哈家罪的時候,遇見猶大的眾首領和亞哈謝的眾姪子服事亞哈謝,就把他們都殺了。
Therefore when Iehu executed iudgement vpon the house of Ahab, and found the princes of Iudah and the sonnes of the brethren of Ahaziah that waited on Ahaziah, he slew them also.
9 亞哈謝藏在撒馬利亞,耶戶尋找他,眾人將他拿住,送到耶戶那裏,就殺了他,將他葬埋;因他們說,他是那盡心尋求耶和華之約沙法的兒子。這樣,亞哈謝的家無力保守國權。
And he sought Ahaziah, and they caught him where he was hid in Samaria, and brought him to Iehu, and slewe him, and buryed him, because, sayd they, he is the sonne of Iehoshaphat, which sought the Lord with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah was not able to reteine the kingdome.
10 亞哈謝的母親亞她利雅見她兒子死了,就起來剿滅猶大王室。
Therefore when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah sawe that her sonne was dead, shee arose and destroyed all the Kings seede of the house of Iudah.
11 但王的女兒約示巴將亞哈謝的兒子約阿施從那被殺的王子中偷出來,把他和他的乳母都藏在臥房裏。約示巴是約蘭王的女兒,亞哈謝的妹子,祭司耶何耶大的妻。她收藏約阿施,躲避亞她利雅,免得被殺。
But Iehoshabeath the daughter of ye King, tooke Ioash the sonne of Ahaziah, and stale him from among the Kings sonnes, that shoulde be slayne, and put him and his nource in the bed chamber: so Iehoshabeath the daughter of King Iehoram the wife of Iehoiada the Priest (for shee was the sister of Ahaziah) hid him from Athaliah: so she slew him not.
12 約阿施和她們一同藏在上帝殿裏六年;亞她利雅篡了國位。
And hee was with them hid in the house of God sixe yeeres, whiles Athaliah reigned ouer the land.
