< 2 Chronicles 22 >

1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his stead; for the band of men that came in the camp with the Arabians had slain all the elder ones. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah reigned.
[阿哈齊雅即位行惡]耶路撒冷居民立了約蘭的小兒阿哈齊雅繼位為王,因為與阿剌伯人同來攻營的匪徒,將他的哥哥全都殺了,因此猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅即位為王。
2 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, daughter of Omri.
阿哈齊雅即位年二十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王一年;他的母親名叫阿塔里雅,是敖默黎的孫女。
3 He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab; for his mother was his counsellor to do wickedly.
阿哈齊雅也走了阿哈布家的道路,因為他母親主使他作惡。
4 And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah like the house of Ahab; for they were his counsellors after the death of his father, to his destruction.
他行了上主視為惡的事,同阿哈布家一樣,因為自他父親死後,阿哈布家人給他出主意,使他趨於滅亡。
5 He walked also after their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, to the war against Hazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
他隨從了他們的計謀,同以色列王阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭,往辣摩特基肋阿得與阿蘭王哈匝耳交戰;阿蘭人擊傷了耶曷蘭,
6 And he returned to be healed in Jizreel because of the wounds that were given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Azariah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Jehoram the son of Ahab at Jizreel; for he was sick.
耶曷蘭遂回依次勒耳,治療他在辣摩特與阿蘭在哈匝耳交戰時所受的傷。猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅因阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭患病,就下到依次勒耳去探望他。[阿哈齊雅被殺]
7 But his coming to Joram was from God the complete ruin of Ahaziah. And when he had come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom Jehovah had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
阿哈齊雅去看望耶曷蘭反而遇害,這原是出於天主;因為他到了以後,便與耶曷蘭出擊尼默史的孫子耶胡,而耶胡即是上主用油所傅,為消滅阿哈布家的。
8 And it came to pass when Jehu was executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, that he found the princes of Judah, and the sons of the brethren of Ahaziah, that attended upon Ahaziah, and he slew them.
耶胡討伐阿哈布家時,遇到了猶大的一些首領和事奉阿哈齊砑的姪子們,便將他們殺了;
9 And he sought Ahaziah; and they caught him (for he had hid himself in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu, and slew him; and they buried him, for they said, He is a son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. And in the house of Ahaziah there was no one who was able to [hold] the kingdom.
然後去尋找阿哈齊雅;阿哈齊雅當時藏在撒瑪黎雅,人將他拿住,解到耶胡那裏,耶胡也將他殺了,以後人也埋葬了他,因為人說:「他究竟是那一心尋求上主的約沙法特的孫子。」這樣,阿哈齊雅家中沒有一個人能即位為王。[母后篡位]
10 And when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she rose up and exterminated all the royal seed of the house of Judah.
阿哈齊雅的母親阿塔里雅見自己的兒子死了,便起來殲滅了猶大家中所有的王族後裔。
11 But Jehoshabeath the daughter of the king took Joash the son of Ahaziah and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in the bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah, so that she did not slay him;
約蘭王的女兒約舍巴,將阿哈齊雅的兒子約阿士由被殺的太子中偷了出來,將他和他的乳母藏在聖殿的寢室裏。約舍巴─約蘭王的女兒,約雅達大司祭的妻子,阿哈齊雅的姐妹─就這樣藏匿了約阿士,沒有被阿塔里雅殺害。
12 and he was with them hid in the house of God six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.
約阿士與她們在天主殿內隱藏了六年,當時由阿塔里雅主持國政。
