< 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 Jerusalem cause Ahaziah his youngest son to reign in his stead, (for all the elder had the troop slain that came in with the Arabians to the camp, ) and Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah reigneth.
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。
A son of twenty and two years [is] Ahaziah in his reigning, and one year he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah 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 also hath walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother hath been his counsellor to do 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。
And he doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counsellors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.
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。
Also, in their counsel he hath walked, and goeth with Jehoram son of Ahab king of Israel to battle against Hazael king of Aram, in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah smite Joram;
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 turneth back to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds with which they had smitten him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram king of Judah hath gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab, in Jezreel, for he [is] sick;
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 from God hath been the destruction of Ahaziah, to come unto Joram: and in his coming he hath gone out with Jehoram unto Jehu son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah anointed to cut off 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。
And it cometh to pass, in Jehu's executing judgment with the house of Ahab, that he findeth the heads of Judah and sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slayeth them.
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 seeketh Ahaziah, and they capture him, (and he is hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him in unto Jehu, and put him to death, and bury him, for they said, 'He [is] son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart;' and there is none to the house of Ahaziah to retain power for the kingdom.
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。
And Athaliah mother of Ahaziah hath seen that her son is dead, and she riseth and destroyeth the whole seed of the kingdom of the house of Judah.
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。
And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king taketh Joash son of Ahaziah, and stealeth him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and putteth him and his nurse into the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter of king Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she hath been sister of Ahaziah, hideth him from the face of Athaliah, and she hath not put him to death.
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 he is with them in the house of God hiding himself six years, and Athaliah is reigning over the land.
