2 Kings 11
1 And Athaliah [is] mother of Ahaziah, and she has seen that her son [is] dead, and she rises, and destroys all the seed of the kingdom;
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 Jehosheba daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, takes Joash son of Ahaziah, and steals him out of the midst of the sons of the king who are put to death, him and his nurse, in the inner part of the bed-chambers, and they hide him from the presence of Athaliah, and he has not been put to death,
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 is with her, in the house of YHWH, hiding himself, six years, and Athaliah is reigning 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 Jehoiada has sent and takes the heads of the hundreds, of the executioners and of the runners, and brings them to him, into the house of YHWH, and makes a covenant with them, and causes them to swear in the house of YHWH, and shows them the son of the king,
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 commands them, saying, “This [is] the thing that you do; the third of you [are] going in on the Sabbath, and keepers of the charge of the house of the king,
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 and the third [is] at the Gate of Sur, and the third at the gate behind the runners, and you have kept the charge of the house pulled down;
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 two parts of you, all going out on the Sabbath—they have kept the charge of the house of YHWH about 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 you have surrounded the king all around, each with his weapons in his hand, and he who is coming to the ranges is put to death; and 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 heads of the hundreds do according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded, and take—each [one]—his men going in on the Sabbath, with those going out on the Sabbath, and come to Jehoiada 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 gives to the heads of the hundreds the spears and the shields that King David had, that [are] in the house of YHWH.
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 runners stand, each with his weapons in his hand, from the right shoulder of the house to the left shoulder of the house, by the altar and by the house, by the king all around;
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 brings out the son of the king, and puts the crown on him, and the Testimony, and they make him king, and anoint him, and strike the hand, and say, “Let the king live.”
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 Athaliah hears the voice of the runners [and] of the people, and she comes to the people [in] the house of YHWH,
阿塔里雅聽見民眾叫喊聲，就進上主的殿，到民眾前。
14 and looks, and behold, the king is standing by the pillar, according to the ordinance, and the heads and the trumpets [are] by the king, and all the people of the land are rejoicing and blowing with trumpets, and Athaliah tears her garments, and calls, “Conspiracy! 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 Jehoiada the priest commands the heads of the hundreds, inspectors of the force, and says to them, “Bring her out to the outside of the ranges, and him who is going after her, put to death by the sword”: for the priest had said, “Do not let her be put to death in the house of YHWH.”
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 make sides for her, and she enters the way of the entering in of the horses to the house of the king, and is put to death 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 Jehoiada makes the covenant between YHWH and the king and the people, to be for a people to YHWH, and 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 go to the house of Ba‘al, and break it down; they have thoroughly broken its altars and its images, and they have slain Mattan priest of Ba‘al before the altars; and the priest sets inspectors over the house of YHWH,
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 takes the heads of the hundreds, and the executioners, and the runners, and all the people of the land, and they bring down the king from the house of YHWH, and come by the way of the gate of the runners, to the house of the king, and he sits 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 rejoice, and the city [is] quiet, and they have put Athaliah to death by 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 Jehoash is a son of seven years in his reigning.
約阿士即位時，纔七歲；
