Kings IV 11
1 And Gotholia the mother of Ochozias saw that her son was dead, and she destroyed all the seed royal.
阿哈齊雅的母親阿塔里雅見自己的兒子已死，便起來消滅王室所有的後裔。
2 And Josabee daughter of king Joram, sister of Ochozias, took Joas the son of her brother, and stole him from amongst the king's sons that were put to death, [secreting] him and his nurse in the bedchamber, and hid him from the face of Gotholia, and he was not slain.
但約蘭王的女兒，阿哈齊雅的姊姊約舍巴，將阿哈齊雅的兒子約阿士，從被殺的王太子中偷了出來，把他和他的奶媽安置在寢室內，藏了起來，沒有讓阿塔里雅看見：這樣纔沒有被殺。
3 And he remained with her hid in the house of the Lord six years: and Gotholia reigned over the land.
約阿士和他的奶媽，在上主的殿內隱藏了六年，當時由阿塔里雅主持國政。
4 And in the seventh year Jodae sent and took the captains of hundreds of the Chorri and of the Rhasim, and brought them to him into the house of the Lord, and made a covenant of the Lord with them, and adjured them, and Jodae showed them the king's son.
第七年，約雅達派人將眾百夫長，加黎人隊長和衛隊長召來，領進上主的殿，與他們立約，在上主殿內起誓，然後引君王的兒子出來與他們相見，
5 And charged them, saying, This [is] the thing which you shall do.
同時吩咐他們說：「你們應這樣行事，在安息日進宮值班的三分之一，要照例守衛王宮，
6 Let a third part of you go in [on] the sabbath-day, and keep you the watch of the king's house in the porch; and another third in the gate of the high way, and a third at the gate behind the footmen; and keep you the guard of the house.
另三分之一守衛穌爾門，另三分之一把守守衛者的後門；仍照舊值班守衛聖殿。
7 And there [shall be] two parties amongst you, even every one that goes out on the Sabbath, and they shall keep the guard of the Lord's house before the king.
在安息日從上主殿內下班的兩隊，仍應在上主的殿內戒備，
8 And do you compass the king about every man with his weapon in his hand, and he that goes into the ranges shall die: and they shall be with the king in his going out and in his coming in.
各人要手裡拿著武器環繞君王。擅入防線的，即將他殺死；君王出入時，你們要緊隨不離。」
9 And the captains of hundreds did all things that the wise Jodae commanded; and they took each his men, both those that went in on the sabbath-day, and those that went out on the sabbath-day, and went in to Jodae the priest.
百夫長就按照司祭約雅達所吩咐的一切去行，各自帶領在安息日值班，和在安息日下班的士兵，來見司祭約雅達。
10 And the priest gave to the captains of hundreds the swords and spears of king David that were in the house of the Lord.
司祭便將上主殿內屬達味王的刀槍和盾牌，交給了眾百夫長。
11 And the footmen stood each with his weapon in his hand from the right corner of the house to the left corner of the house, [by] the altar and the house round about the king.
衛兵每人所持武器，自殿右至殿左，面對祭壇和聖殿，環立在君王四周；
12 And he brought forth the king's son, and put upon him the crown and [gave him] the testimony; and he made him king, and anointed him: and they clapped [their] hands, and said, Long live the king.
然後引出太子來，給他加冕，將約書交給他，立他為王，給他傅油，在場民眾都鼓掌歡呼：「君王萬歲! 」
13 And Gotholia heard the sound of the people running, and she went in to the people to the house of the Lord.
阿塔里雅聽見民眾叫喊聲，就進上主的殿，到民眾前。
14 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood near a pillar according to the manner; and the singers and the trumpeters were before the king and all the people of the land [even] rejoicing and sounding with trumpets: and Gotholia tore her garments, and cried, A conspiracy, a conspiracy.
她一看，見君王照儀式站在高台上，官長和吹號角的，都站在君王兩旁，所有當地人民歡樂吹號；阿塔里雅就撕裂了自己的衣服，喊叫說：「反了，反了! 」
15 And Jodae the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were over the host, and said to them, Bring her forth without the ranges, [and] he that goes in after her shall certainly die by the sword. For the priest said, Let her not however be slain in the house of the Lord.
約雅達司祭即吩咐帶領軍隊的眾百夫長說：「將她從行列中趕出去，凡跟隨她的，都用刀殺死。」原來司祭曾吩咐說：不可在上主的殿內殺她。
16 And they laid hands upon her, and went in by the way of the horses' entrance into the house of the Lord, and she was slain there.
於是眾人捉住她；當她由馬門進入王宮時，就地將她殺了。
17 And Jodae made a covenant between the Lord and the king and the people, that they should be the Lord's people; also between the king and the people.
此後，約雅達使君王和人民與上主立約，作上主的人民；又使君王與人民立約。
18 And all the people of the land went into the house of Baal, and tore it down, and completely broke in pieces his altars and his images, and they killed Mathan the priest of Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed overseers over the house of the Lord.
然後，所有當地人民都到巴耳廟去，將廟拆毀，將祭壇推翻，將神像完全打碎，在祭台前斬了巴耳的司祭瑪堂。司祭約雅達又調派士兵把守上主的殿，
19 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the Chorri, and the Rhasim, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king out of the house of the Lord; and they went in by the way of the gate of the footmen of the king's house, and seated him there on the throne of the kings.
以後，率領眾百夫長、加黎人、衛兵和所有當地人民，請君王從上主的殿下來，經衛兵門進入王宮，請他坐在王座上。
20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was at rest: and they killed Gotholia with the sword in the house of the king.
全國人民都歡樂喜慶，京城也很平靜。至於阿塔里雅，已在王宮用刀殺死。
21 Joas [was] seven years old when he began to reign.
約阿士即位時，纔七歲；
