< 2 Chronicles 22 >

1 And the inhabitants of Jerusalem cause his youngest son Ahaziah to reign in his stead (for the troop had slain all the chiefly that came in with the Arabians to the camp), and Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigns.
[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 [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] 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 has also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother has been his counselor 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 does evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the house of Ahab, for they have been his counselors, after the death of his father, for destruction to him.
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 Also, he has walked in their counsel, and goes with Jehoram son of Ahab, king of Israel, to battle against Hazael king of Aram in Ramoth-Gilead, and they of Ramah strike 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 turns back to be healed in Jezreel because of the wounds with which they had struck him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram. And Azariah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, has gone down to see Jehoram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he [is] 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 and to come to Joram has been from God [for] the destruction of Ahaziah; and in his coming he has gone out with Jehoram to Jehu son of Nimshi, whom YHWH 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 comes to pass, in Jehu’s executing judgment with the house of Ahab, that he finds the heads of Judah and sons of the brothers of Ahaziah, ministers of Ahaziah, and slays 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 seeks Ahaziah, and they capture him (and he is hiding himself in Samaria), and bring him to Jehu, and put him to death, and bury him, for they said, “He [is] son of Jehoshaphat, who sought YHWH with all his heart”; and there is none of the house of Ahaziah to retain power for 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 Athaliah mother of Ahaziah has seen that her son is dead, and she rises and destroys the whole seed of the kingdom 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 And Jehoshabeath daughter of the king takes Joash son of Ahaziah, and steals him from the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, and puts him and his nurse into the inner part of the bed-chambers, and Jehoshabeath daughter of King Jehoram, wife of Jehoiada the priest, because she has been sister of Ahaziah, hides him from the face of Athaliah, and she has not put him to death.
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 is with them in the house of God hiding himself [for] six years, and Athaliah is reigning 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。
