< 2 Kings 11 >
1 And Athaliah [the] mother of Ahaziah (she saw *Q(K)*) that he was dead son her and she arose and she destroyed all [the] offspring of royalty.
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 she took Jehosheba [the] daughter of the king Joram [the] sister of Ahaziah Joash [the] son of Ahaziah and she stole him from among [the] sons of the king (who were about to be put to death *Q(K)*) him and suckling-nurse his in [the] chamber of the beds and they hid him from before Athaliah and not he was 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 was with her [the] house of Yahweh hiding himself six years and Athaliah [was] 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 year seventh he sent Jehoiada and he took - [the] commanders of (the hundreds *Q(k)*) of the Carian[s] and of the runners and he brought them to himself [the] house of Yahweh and he made to them a covenant and he made to swear an oath with them in [the] house of Yahweh and he showed 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 he commanded them saying this [is] the thing which you will do! the third [part] of you [who] come the sabbath and [who] keep [the] watch 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 [part] [will be] at [the] gate of Sur and the third [part] [will be] at the gate behind the runners and you will keep [the] watch of the house by turns.
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 [the] two the hands in you all [those who] go out the sabbath and they will keep [the] watch of [the] house of Yahweh to 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 will surround the king all around everyone and weapons his in hand his and the [one who] comes into the ranks he will be put to death and be with the king when goes out he and when comes he.
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 they did [the] commanders of (the hundreds *Q(k)*) according to all that he commanded Jehoiada the priest and they took each men his [those who] came the sabbath with [those who] went out the sabbath and they came 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 he gave the priest to [the] commanders of (the hundreds *Q(k)*) the spear and the shields which [had belonged] to the king David which [were] in [the] house of Yahweh.
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 they stood the runners everyone - and weapons his in hand his from [the] side of the house south to [the] side of the house north to the altar and to the house at 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 brought out [the] son of the king and he put on him the crown and the testimony and they made king him and they anointed him and they struck a palm and they said may he live the king.
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 she heard Athaliah [the] sound of the runners the people and she went to the people [the] house of Yahweh.
阿塔里雅聽見民眾叫喊聲,就進上主的殿,到民眾前。
14 And she saw and there! the king [was] standing at the pillar according to the custom and the commanders and the trumpets [were] with the king and all [the] people of the land [was] joyful and [was] giving a blast on trumpets and she tore Athaliah clothes her and she called out treason treason.
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 he commanded Jehoiada the priest [the] commanders of (the hundreds *Q(k)*) [the] officers of the army and he said to them bring out her to from between to the ranks and the [one who] comes behind her put to death with the sword for he had said the priest may not she be put to death [the] house of Yahweh.
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 put to her hands and she went [the] way of [the] entrance of the horses [the] house of the king and she was 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 he made Jehoiada the covenant between Yahweh and between the king and between the people to become a people of Yahweh and between the king and between 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 they went all [the] people of the land [the] house of Baal and they pulled down it (altars its *Q(K)*) and images its they broke thoroughly and Mattan [the] priest of Baal they killed before the altars and he appointed the priest overseers over [the] house of Yahweh.
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 he took [the] commanders of the hundreds and the Carian[s] and the runners and - all [the] people of the land and they took down the king from [the] house of Yahweh and they came [the] way of [the] gate of the runners [the] house of the king and he sat 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 it rejoiced all [the] people of the land and the city it was at peace and Athaliah they had put to death with the sword [the] house of (the king. *Q(K)*)
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 [was] a son of Seven years Jehoash when became king he.
約阿士即位時,纔七歲;
