< 2 Kings 11 >

1 Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal family.
亚哈谢的母亲亚她利雅见她儿子死了,就起来剿灭王室。
2 But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and secretly took him away from among the king's sons who were to be executed, even him and his nurse, and put them in the bedroom. So he was hidden from Athaliah and was not put to death.
但约兰王的女儿,亚哈谢的妹子约示巴,将亚哈谢的儿子约阿施从那被杀的王子中偷出来,把他和他的乳母都藏在卧房里,躲避亚她利雅,免得被杀。
3 He was with her hidden in the house of YHWH six years. Athaliah reigned over the land.
约阿施和他的乳母藏在耶和华的殿里六年;亚她利雅篡了国位。
4 In the seventh year Jehoiada sent and fetched the captains over hundreds of the Carites and of the guard, and brought them to him into the house of YHWH; and he made a covenant with them, and took an oath of them in the house of YHWH, and showed them the king's son.
第七年,耶何耶大打发人叫迦利人和护卫兵的众百夫长来,领他们进了耶和华的殿,与他们立约,使他们在耶和华殿里起誓,又将王的儿子指给他们看,
5 He commanded them, saying, "This is the thing that you shall do: a third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath, shall be keepers of the watch of the king's house.
吩咐他们说:“你们当这样行:凡安息日进班的三分之一要看守王宫,
6 A third part shall be at the Foundation Gate, and a third part at the gate behind the guard. So you shall keep the watch of the house, and be a barrier.
三分之一要在苏珥门,三分之一要在护卫兵院的后门。这样把守王宫,拦阻闲人。
7 The two companies of you, even all who go out on the Sabbath, shall keep the watch of the house of YHWH around the king.
你们安息日所有出班的三分之二要在耶和华的殿里护卫王;
8 You shall surround the king, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he who comes within the ranks, let him be slain. Be with the king when he goes out, and when he comes in."
各人手拿兵器,四围护卫王。凡擅入你们班次的必当治死,王出入的时候,你们当跟随他。”
9 The captains over hundreds did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were to go out on the Sabbath, and came to Jehoiada the priest.
众百夫长就照着祭司耶何耶大一切所吩咐的去行,各带所管安息日进班出班的人来见祭司耶何耶大。
10 The priest delivered to the captains over hundreds the spears and shields that had been king David's, which were in the house of YHWH.
祭司便将耶和华殿里所藏大卫王的枪和盾牌交给百夫长。
11 The guard stood, every man with his weapons in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and the house, around the king.
护卫兵手中各拿兵器,在坛和殿那里,从殿右直到殿左,站在王子的四围。
12 Then he brought out the king's son, and put the crown on him, and gave him the testimony; and they made him king, and anointed him; and they clapped their hands, and said, "Long live the king."
祭司领王子出来,给他戴上冠冕,将律法书交给他,膏他作王;众人就拍掌说:“愿王万岁!”
13 When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard and of the people, she came to the people into the house of YHWH:
亚她利雅听见护卫兵和民的声音,就到民那里,进耶和华的殿,
14 and she looked, and look, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, "Treason. Treason."
看见王照例站在柱旁,百夫长和吹号的人侍立在王左右,国中的众民欢乐吹号;亚她利雅就撕裂衣服,喊叫说:“反了!反了!”
15 Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, "Bring her out between the ranks. Kill him who follows her with the sword." For the priest said, "Do not let her be slain in the house of YHWH."
祭司耶何耶大吩咐管辖军兵的百夫长说:“将她赶出班外,凡跟随她的必用刀杀死!”因为祭司说“不可在耶和华殿里杀她”,
16 So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house. She was slain there.
众兵就闪开让她去;她从马路上王宫去,便在那里被杀。
17 Jehoiada made a covenant between YHWH and the king and the people, that they should be YHWH's people.
耶何耶大使王和民与耶和华立约,作耶和华的民;又使王与民立约。
18 All the people of the land went to the house of Baal, and broke it down; his altars and his images broke they in pieces thoroughly, and killed Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars. The priest appointed officers over the house of YHWH.
于是国民都到巴力庙,拆毁了庙,打碎坛和像,又在坛前将巴力的祭司玛坦杀了。祭司耶何耶大派官看守耶和华的殿,
19 He took the captains over hundreds, and the Carites, and the guard, and all the people of the land; and they brought down the king from the house of YHWH, and came by the way of the Gate of the Guard to the king's house. He sat on the throne of the kings.
又率领百夫长和迦利人与护卫兵,以及国中的众民,请王从耶和华殿下来,由护卫兵的门进入王宫,他就坐了王位。
20 So all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet. Athaliah they had slain with the sword at the king's house.
国民都欢乐,合城都安静。众人已将亚她利雅在王宫那里用刀杀了。
21 Jehoash was seven years old when he began to reign.
约阿施登基的时候年方七岁。
