< 2 Chronicles 22 >
1 Then the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king in his place, since the raiders who had come into the camp with the Arabs had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.
耶路撒冷的居民立约兰的小儿子亚哈谢接续他作王;因为跟随阿拉伯人来攻营的军兵曾杀了亚哈谢的众兄长。这样,犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢作了王。
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri.
亚哈谢登基的时候年四十二岁,在耶路撒冷作王一年。他母亲名叫亚她利雅,是暗利的孙女。
3 Ahaziah also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was his counselor in wickedness.
亚哈谢也行亚哈家的道;因为他母亲给他主谋,使他行恶。
4 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as the house of Ahab had done, for to his destruction they were his counselors after the death of his father.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,像亚哈家一样;因他父亲死后有亚哈家的人给他主谋,以致败坏。
5 Ahaziah also followed their counsel and went with Joram son of Ahab king of Israel to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead. But the Arameans wounded Joram;
他听从亚哈家的计谋,同以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰往基列的拉末去,与亚兰王哈薛争战;亚兰人打伤了约兰。
6 so he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds they had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.
约兰回到耶斯列,医治在拉末与亚兰王哈薛打仗所受的伤,犹大王约兰的儿子亚撒利雅因为亚哈的儿子约兰病了,就下到耶斯列看望他。
7 Ahaziah’s downfall came from God when he went to visit Joram. When Ahaziah arrived, he went out with Joram to meet Jehu son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to destroy the house of Ahab.
亚哈谢去见约兰就被害了,这是出乎 神;因为他到了,就同约兰出去攻击宁示的孙子耶户。这耶户是耶和华所膏、使他剪除亚哈家的。
8 So while Jehu was executing judgment on the house of Ahab, he found the rulers of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah’s brothers who were serving Ahaziah, and he killed them.
耶户讨亚哈家罪的时候,遇见犹大的众首领和亚哈谢的众侄子服事亚哈谢,就把他们都杀了。
9 Then Jehu looked for Ahaziah, and Jehu’s soldiers captured him while he was hiding in Samaria. So Ahaziah was brought to Jehu and put to death. They buried him, for they said, “He is the grandson of Jehoshaphat, who sought the LORD with all his heart.” So no one was left from the house of Ahaziah with the strength to rule the kingdom.
亚哈谢藏在撒马利亚,耶户寻找他,众人将他拿住,送到耶户那里,就杀了他,将他葬埋;因他们说,他是那尽心寻求耶和华之约沙法的儿子。这样,亚哈谢的家无力保守国权。
10 When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she proceeded to annihilate all the royal heirs of the house of Judah.
亚哈谢的母亲亚她利雅见她儿子死了,就起来剿灭犹大王室。
11 But Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram took Joash son of Ahaziah and stole him away from among the sons of the king who were being murdered, and she put him and his nurse in a bedroom. Because Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram and the wife of Jehoiada the priest, was Ahaziah’s sister, she hid Joash from Athaliah so that she could not kill him.
但王的女儿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。约示巴是约兰王的女儿,亚哈谢的妹子,祭司耶何耶大的妻。她收藏约阿施,躲避亚她利雅,免得被杀。
12 And Joash remained hidden with them in the house of God for six years while Athaliah ruled the land.
约阿施和她们一同藏在 神殿里六年;亚她利雅篡了国位。
