2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash the son of Joachaz the king of Israel became Amazyahu, the son of Joash the king of Judah, king.
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 Twenty and five years was he old when he became king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Yeho'addan of Jerusalem.
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 what is right in the eyes of the Lord, yet not like David his father: in accordance with all that Joash his father had done, [so] did he.
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 Nevertheless the high-places were not removed: as yet the people sacrificed and burnt incense on the high-places.
只是沒有廢除高丘，人民仍在高丘上焚香獻祭。
5 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was firmly established in his hand, that he slew his servants who had slain 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 the murderers he put not to death: as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, that the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor shall the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
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 it was that smote of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand men, and seized Sela' in the war, and called its name Yoktheel until 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 sent Amazyah messengers to Jehoash, the son of Jehoachaz the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look 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 And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amazyahu the king of Judah, saying, The thornbush that was in the Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in the Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for wife. And there passed along the wild beasts that were in Lebanon, and trod down the thornbush.
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 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up: keep thy glory and stay in thy house; and why wilt thou meddle with misfortune, that thou mayest fall, thou, and Judah 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 Amazyahu would not hear. Therefore Jehoash the king of Israel went up; and he and Amazyahu the king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
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 Judah was defeated before Israel; and they fled every man to his tents.
猶大為以色列擊敗，各自逃回帳幕去了。
13 And Jehoash the king of Israel caught Amazyahu the king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Achazyahu, at Beth-shemesh; and he came to Jerusalem, and made a breach in the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner-gate, four hundred cubits.
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 took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and the children of the chiefs as hostages, 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 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his mighty deeds, and how he fought with Amazyahu the king of Judah, behold, they are written in the book 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 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel: and Jerobo'am his son became king 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 Amazyahu the son of Joash the king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash, the son of Jehoachaz the king of Israel, fifteen years.
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 And the rest of the acts of Amazyahu, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
阿瑪責雅其餘的事蹟，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
19 Now they raised a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem: wherefore he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew 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 Jerusalem with his fathers in the city of David.
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 And all the people of Judah took 'Azaryah, who was sixteen years old, and they made him king instead of his father Amazyahu.
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 it was that built Elath, and brought it back to Judah, after 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 year of Amazyahu the son of Joash the king of Judah became Jerobo'am the son of Joash the king of Israel king in Samaria, [for] forty and one years.
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 what is evil in the eyes of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who induced Israel to sin.
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 boundary of Israel from the entrance of Chamath unto the sea of the plain; in accordance with the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he had spoken by means of his servant Jonah the son of Amitthai, the prophet, who was of Gathchepher.
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 affliction of Israel, which was very bitter; that the guarded was no more, and that the fortified was no more, and there was no helper for 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 And the Lord had not spoken that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens; but he helped them by means of Jerobo'am the son of Joash.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Jerobo'am, and all that he did, and his mighty deeds, how he warred, and how he brought back Damascus and Chamath, [which had belonged] to Judah, to Israel, behold, they are written in the book 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 And Jerobo'am slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel: and Zechariah his son became king in his stead.
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。
