2 Kings 14
1 The second yeere of Ioash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel reigned Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah.
以色列王約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士二年，約阿士的兒子阿瑪責雅登極為猶大王。
2 He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twentie yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Iehoadan of Ierusalem.
他登極時二十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王，凡二十九年；他的母親名叫約阿當，是耶路撒冷人。
3 And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, yet not like Dauid his father, but did according to all that Ioash his father had done.
他行了上主視為正義的事，只是不如他的祖先達味，事事仿效他父親約阿士，
4 Notwithstanding the hie places were not taken away: for as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense in the hie places.
只是沒有廢除高丘，人民仍在高丘上焚香獻祭。
5 And when the kingdome was confirmed in his hand, he slewe his seruants which had killed the King his father.
及至王權已掌握在他手中之後，即將弒殺他父王的那些臣僕殺掉；
6 But the children of those that did slay him, he slewe not, according vnto that that is written in the booke of the Lawe of Moses, wherein the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children put to death for the fathers: but euery man shall be put to death for his owne sinne.
但沒有處死兇手們的子女，因為照梅瑟法律書上的記載，上主曾吩咐說：「不可為兒子的罪處死父親，亦不可為父親的罪處死兒子；每人只應因自己的罪而死。」
7 He slew also of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand, and tooke the citie of Sela by warre, and called the name thereof Ioktheel vnto this day.
阿瑪責雅在鹽谷擊殺了一萬厄東人，一戰而攻佔了色拉，改名叫約刻特耳，直到今日。猶大向以色列宣戰。
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Iehoash the sonne of Iehoahaz, sonne of Iehu King of Israel, saying, Come, let vs see one another in the face.
那時，阿瑪責雅派遣使者去見以色列王耶胡的孫子，約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士說：「來，讓我們見個高低! 」
9 Then Iehoash the King of Israel sent to Amaziah King of Iudah, saying, The thistle that is in Lebanon, sent to the cedar that is in Lebanon, saying, Giue thy daughter to my sonne to wife: and the wilde beast that was in Lebanon, went and trode downe the thistle.
以色列王耶曷阿士派人去對猶大王阿瑪責雅說：「黎巴嫩的荊棘派使者對黎巴嫩的香柏說：將你的女兒嫁給我的兒子為妻! 然而有一隻黎巴嫩的野獸經過，將這棵荊棘踐踏了。
10 Because thou hast smitten Edom, thine heart hath made thee proud: bragge of glory, and tary at home. why doest thou prouoke to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, and Iudah with thee?
你打敗了厄東，就心高氣傲嗎﹖你安居家中引以為榮好了，又何必惹禍，使你和猶大一同喪亡﹖」
11 But Amaziah would not heare: therefore Iehoash King of Israel went vp: and he and Amaziah King of Iudah sawe one another in the face at Beth-shemesh which is in Iudah.
但是，阿瑪責雅不肯聽從，於是以色列王耶曷阿士就上來，在猶大的貝特舍默士與猶大王阿瑪責雅相見了。
12 And Iudah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fledde euery man to their tents.
猶大為以色列擊敗，各自逃回帳幕去了。
13 But Iehoash King of Israel tooke Amaziah King of Iudah, the sonne of Iehoash the sonne of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Ierusalem, and brake downe the wall of Ierusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, foure hundreth cubites.
以色列王耶曷阿士在貝特舍默士生擒了阿哈齊雅的孫子，約阿士的兒子猶大王阿瑪責雅，帶到耶路撒冷，將耶路撒冷的城牆，從厄弗辣因門到「角門，」拆了一個缺口，共四百肘；
14 And he tooke all the gold and siluer, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house, and the children that were in hostage, and returned to Samaria.
又將上主殿內和王宮府庫裡所有的金銀和一切器皿，都拿了去，並帶了人質回撒瑪黎雅。
15 Concerning the rest of the acts of Iehoash which he did and his valiant deedes, and how he fought with Amaziah King of Iudah, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
耶曷阿士所行的其他事蹟，及他與猶大王阿瑪責雅交戰時所表現的英勇，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
16 And Iehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried at Samaria among the Kings of Israel: and Ieroboam his sonne reigned in his stead.
耶曷阿士與列祖同眠，與以色列列王同葬在撒瑪黎雅。他的兒子雅洛貝罕繼位為王。
17 And Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah, liued after the death of Iehoash sonne of Iehoahaz King of Israel fifteene yeere.
以色列王約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士死後，猶大王約阿士的兒子阿瑪責雅，還活了十五年。
18 Concerning the rest of the actes of Amaziah, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
阿瑪責雅其餘的事蹟，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
19 But they wrought treason against him in Ierusalem, and he fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish, and slewe him there.
在耶路撒冷有人結黨反抗他，他即逃往拉基士，但是叛黨派人追到拉基士，在那裡將他殺死，
20 And they brought him on horses, and he was buried at Ierusalem with his fathers in the citie of Dauid.
將屍體用馬馱回，葬在耶路撒冷達味城，與他的祖先埋在一起。
21 Then all the people of Iudah tooke Azariah which was sixteene yeere olde, and made him King for his father Amaziah.
全猶大人民遂選立了十六歲的阿匝黎雅，繼他父親阿瑪責雅為王。
22 He built Elath, and restored it to Iudah, after that the King slept with his fathers.
在阿瑪責雅王與他的祖先同眠以後，阿匝黎雅將厄拉特收回仍歸猶大，加以重建。
23 In the fifteenth yeere of Amaziah the sonne of Ioash King of Iudah, was Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash made King ouer Israel in Samaria, and reigned one and fourtie yeere.
猶大王約阿士的兒子阿瑪責雅十五年，以色列王耶曷阿士的兒子雅洛貝罕，在撒瑪黎雅登極為王，在位凡四十一年。
24 And he did euill in the sight of the Lord: for he departed not from all the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne.
他行了上主視為惡的事，沒有離開乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕，使以色列陷於罪惡的種種罪惡。
25 He restored the coast of Israel, from the entring of Hamath, vnto the Sea of the wildernesse, according to the worde of the Lord God of Israel, which he spake by his seruant Ionah the sonne of Amittai the Prophet, which was of Gath Hepher.
他收復了以色列邊境的疆域，從哈瑪特渡口直到阿辣巴海，正如上主以色列的天主，藉他僕人加特赫斐爾人阿米泰的兒子約納所說的話。
26 For the Lord saw the exceeding bitter affliction of Israel, so that there was none shutte vp, nor any left, neyther yet any that could helpe Israel.
因為上主看見了以色列遭受壓迫，極其痛苦；無論是自由的或不自由的，都沒有了；也沒有人援助以色列。
27 Yet the Lord had not decreed to put out the name of Israel from vnder the heauen: therefore he preserued them by the hand of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash.
然而上主並沒有意思，要從天下除去以色列的名字，因此，藉耶曷阿士的兒子雅洛貝罕拯救了他們。
28 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ieroboam, and all that he did, and his valiant deedes, and how he fought, and how he restored Damascus, and Hamath to Iudah in Israel, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
雅洛貝罕其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，他交戰時的英勇，以及他如何的攻下了大馬士革和收復了哈瑪特重歸於以色列，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
29 So Ieroboam slept with his fathers, euen with the Kings of Israel, and Zachariah his sonne reigned in his steade.
雅洛貝罕與祖先以色列列王同眠後，他的兒子則加黎雅繼位為王。
