< 歷代志下 25 >

1 亞瑪謝登基的時候年二十五歲,在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母親名叫約耶但,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.
2 亞瑪謝行耶和華眼中看為正的事,只是心不專誠。
And he dide good in the siyt of the Lord, netheles not in perfit herte.
3 國一堅定,就把殺他父王的臣僕殺了,
And whanne he siy the empire strengthid to hym silf, he stranglide the seruauntis, that killiden the kyng, his fadir;
4 卻沒有治死他們的兒子,是照摩西律法書上耶和華所吩咐的說:「不可因子殺父,也不可因父殺子,各人要為本身的罪而死。」
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 亞瑪謝招聚猶大人,按着猶大和便雅憫的宗族設立千夫長、百夫長,又數點人數,從二十歲以外,能拿槍拿盾牌出去打仗的精兵共有三十萬;
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 又用銀子一百他連得,從以色列招募了十萬大能的勇士。
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 有一個神人來見亞瑪謝,對他說:「王啊,不要使以色列的軍兵與你同去,因為耶和華不與以色列人以法蓮的後裔同在。
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,就奮勇爭戰吧!但上帝必使你敗在敵人面前;因為上帝能助人得勝,也能使人傾敗。」
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 亞瑪謝問神人說:「我給了以色列軍的那一百他連得銀子怎麼樣呢?」神人回答說:「耶和華能把更多的賜給你。」
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 於是亞瑪謝將那從以法蓮來的軍兵分別出來,叫他們回家去。故此,他們甚惱怒猶大人,氣忿忿地回家去了。
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 亞瑪謝壯起膽來,率領他的民到鹽谷,殺了西珥人一萬。
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 猶大人又生擒了一萬帶到山崖上,從那裏把他們扔下去,以致他們都摔碎了。
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 但亞瑪謝所打發回去、不許一同出征的那些軍兵攻打猶大各城,從撒馬利亞直到伯‧和崙,殺了三千人,搶了許多財物。
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 亞瑪謝殺了以東人回來,就把西珥的神像帶回,立為自己的神,在它面前叩拜燒香。
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,耶和華的怒氣向亞瑪謝發作,就差一個先知去見他,說:「這些神不能救它的民脫離你的手,你為何尋求它呢?」
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 先知與王說話的時候,王對他說:「誰立你作王的謀士呢?你住口吧!為何找打呢?」先知就止住了,又說:「你行這事,不聽從我的勸戒,我知道上帝定意要滅你。」
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 猶大王亞瑪謝與群臣商議,就差遣使者去見耶戶的孫子、約哈斯的兒子、以色列王約阿施,說:「你來,我們二人相見於戰場。」
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 以色列王約阿施差遣使者去見猶大王亞瑪謝,說:「黎巴嫩的蒺藜差遣使者去見黎巴嫩的香柏樹,說:『將你的女兒給我兒子為妻。』後來黎巴嫩有一個野獸經過,把蒺藜踐踏了。
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 你說:『看哪,我打敗了以東人』,你就心高氣傲,以致矜誇。你在家裏安居就罷了,為何要惹禍使自己和猶大國一同敗亡呢?」
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 亞瑪謝卻不肯聽從。這是出乎上帝,好將他們交在敵人手裏,因為他們尋求以東的神。
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 於是以色列王約阿施上來,在猶大的伯‧示麥與猶大王亞瑪謝相見於戰場。
Therfor Joas, kyng of Israel, stiede, and thei siyen hem silf togidere. Sotheli Amasie, the kyng of Juda, was in Bethsames of Juda;
22 猶大人敗在以色列人面前,各自逃回家裏去了。
and Juda felde doun bifor Israel, and fledde in to his tabernaclis.
23 以色列王約阿施在伯‧示麥擒住約哈斯的孫子、約阿施的兒子、猶大王亞瑪謝,將他帶到耶路撒冷,又拆毀耶路撒冷的城牆,從以法蓮門直到角門,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 又將俄別‧以東所看守上帝殿裏的一切金銀和器皿,與王宮裏的財寶都拿了去,並帶人去為質,就回撒馬利亞去了。
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 以色列王約哈斯的兒子約阿施死後,猶大王約阿施的兒子亞瑪謝又活了十五年。
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 亞瑪謝其餘的事,自始至終不都寫在猶大和以色列諸王記上嗎?
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 自從亞瑪謝離棄耶和華之後,在耶路撒冷有人背叛他,他就逃到拉吉;叛黨卻打發人到拉吉,將他殺了。
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 人就用馬將他的屍首馱回,葬在猶大京城他列祖的墳地裏。
and thei brouyten ayen on horsis, and birieden hym with his fadris in the citee of Dauid.
