2 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been ruling Israel for almost twenty-seven years, Uzziah, the son of King Amaziah of Judah, began to rule.
以色列王雅洛貝罕二十七年，阿瑪責雅的兒子阿匝黎雅登極為猶大王。
2 He was 16 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled in Jerusalem for 52 years. His mother was Jecoliah, from Jerusalem.
他登極時十六歲，在耶路撒冷作王凡五十二年；他母親名叫耶苛里雅，是耶路撒冷人。
3 He did things that Yahweh was pleased with, like his father Amaziah had done.
阿匝黎雅行了上主視為正義的事，完全像他父親阿瑪責雅所行的一樣，
4 But, the places at the pagan shrines where they worshiped Yahweh were not destroyed, and the people continued to burn incense [to honor Yahweh] at those places [instead of in Jerusalem, the place that Yahweh had appointed].
只是高丘仍沒有廢除，人民仍在高丘上焚香獻祭。
5 Yahweh caused Uzziah to become a leper, and he was a leper for the rest of his life. [He was not allowed to live in the palace]. He lived alone in a house, and his son Jotham ruled the country.
上主打擊了君王，君王即患了癩病，直到他死的那一天，獨自住在一所王宮裡。那時，君王的兒子約堂代理朝事，統治國家的百姓。
6 [If you want to know about] everything else that Uzziah did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
阿匝黎雅其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
7 Uzziah died [EUP], and they buried him in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors had been buried. Then his son Jotham officially became the king.
阿匝黎雅與祖先同眠，與祖先同葬在達味城；他的兒子約堂繼位為王。
8 After Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-eight years, Zechariah, the son of Jeroboam, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for [only] six months.
猶大王阿匝黎雅三十八年，雅洛貝罕的兒子則加黎雅在撒瑪黎雅登極為以色列王，在位六個月；
9 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, like his ancestors had done. He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the Israeli people to sin.
他行了上主視為惡的事，像他的祖先所行的一樣，沒有離開乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕，使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
10 Then Shallum, the son of Jabesh, made plans to assassinate Zechariah. He killed him at Ibleam [town], and then he became the king.
雅貝士的兒子沙隆結黨反叛他，在依貝肋罕殺了他，篡位為王。
11 Everything else that Zechariah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
則加黎雅其餘的事蹟都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
12 When Zechariah died, [that ended the dynasty of King Jehu]. That fulfilled what Yahweh said to King Jehu would happen: “Your son and grandson and great-grandson and great-great-grandson will all be kings of Israel.”
這正應驗了上主對耶胡所說的話：「你的子孫要坐以色列王位，直到第四代。」
13 Shallum, the son of Jabesh, became the king of Israel after King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years. But Shallum ruled in Samaria for [only] one month.
猶大王烏齊雅三十九年，雅貝士的兒子沙隆登極為王，在撒瑪黎雅作王一個月。
14 Then Menahem, the son of Gadi, went up from Tirzah [city] to Samaria and assassinated Shallum. Then Menahem became the king of Israel.
那時加狄的兒子默納恆從提爾匝來到撒瑪黎雅，在撒瑪黎雅殺了雅貝士的兒子沙隆，篡位為王。
15 Everything else that Shallum did, including his killing King Zechariah, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
沙隆其餘的事蹟和他如何結黨謀反，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
16 While Menahem was ruling in Samaria, he completely destroyed Tappuah [village south of Samaria] and killed all the people who lived there and in the surrounding territory. He did that because the people in that city refused to surrender to him. [With his sword] he even ripped open the bellies of pregnant women.
以後，默納恒從提爾匝出發攻打塔普亞，又攻打其四境，因為人沒有給他開城門，所以攻破以後，屠殺了城中所有的人，剖開了所有的孕婦。
17 When King Azariah had been ruling Judah for almost thirty-nine years, Menahem, the son of Gadi, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for ten years.
猶大王阿匝黎雅三十九年，加狄的兒子默納恒登極為以色列王，在撒瑪黎雅作王十年，
18 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kinds of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of Israel to sin. He continued to commit those sins for the rest of his life.
行了上主視為惡的事，在他有生之日，始終沒有離開乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕，使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
19 Then King Tiglath-Pileser of Assyria came [with his army] to attack Israel. So Menahem gave him (thirty-eight tons/35,000 kg.) of silver in order that Tiglath-Pileser would help Menahem to continue to be king and rule his country more strongly.
那時，亞述王普耳前來犯境，默納恒就送給了普耳一千「塔冷通」銀子，要求他扶持自己，鞏固自己的王權。
20 Menahem obtained that money from the rich men in Israel. He compelled each of them to contribute 50 pieces of silver. So Tiglath-Pileser [took that money and] went back home.
默納恒向以色列所有富豪征收銀子，每人應繳納五十「協刻耳，」為進獻給亞述王。亞述王於是回去了，沒有在境內停留。
21 [If you want to know more about] everything that Menahem did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
默納恒其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
22 Menahem died [EUP] and was buried, and his son Pekahiah became the king of Israel.
默納恒與祖先同眠後，他的兒子培卡希雅繼位為王。
23 When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 50 years, Menahem’s son Pekahiah became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for [only] two years.
猶大王阿匝黎雅五十年，默納恒的兒子培卡希雅登極為以色列王，在撒瑪黎雅作王兩年。
24 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of 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 Then one of Pekahiah’s army commanders whose name was Pekah, the son of Remaliah, planned with 50 men from [the] Gilead [region] to kill Pekahiah. They assassinated him in a fortified place in the king’s palace in Samaria. Then Pekah became the king.
他的軍官，勒瑪里雅的兒子培卡黑結黨反叛他，同阿爾哥布和阿黎厄，以及與他同謀的五十個基肋阿得人，在撒瑪黎雅王宮的堡壘內，將他殺死，篡位為王。
26 Everything else that Pekahiah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

27 When King Uzziah had been ruling Judah for almost 52 years, Pekah, the son of Remaliah, became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria for 20 years.
猶大王阿匝黎雅五十二年，勒瑪里雅的兒子培卡黑登極為以色列王，在撒瑪黎雅作王凡二十年。
28 He also did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He committed the same kind of sins that King Jeroboam had committed, sins that led the people of 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。
29 While Pekah was the king, Tiglath-Pileser, the king of Assyria, came [with his army] and captured [the cities of] Ijon, Abel-Beth-Maacah, Janoah, Kedesh, Hazor, and the regions of Gilead, Galilee, and Naphtali. His army forced the Israeli people to leave their country and go to live in Assyria.
以色列王培卡黑在位時，亞述王提革拉特丕肋色爾前來，侵佔了依雍、阿貝耳貝特瑪阿加、雅諾亞、刻德士、哈祚爾、基肋阿得、加里肋亞和納斐塔里全地；並將這些地方的居民都擄往亞述。
30 Then Hoshea, the son of Elah, plotted to kill Pekah. He assassinated him when Uzziah’s son Jotham had been ruling Judah for almost 20 years. Then Hoshea became the king of Israel.
烏齊雅的兒子約堂二十年，厄拉的兒子曷舍亞結黨反叛勒瑪里雅的兒子卡培黑，殺了他，篡位為王。
31 Everything else that Pekah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.

約堂行了上主視為正義的事完全像他父親烏齊雅所行的一樣，
35 But he did not destroy the places on the tops of hills where the people worshiped [Yahweh], and the people continued to burn incense there [to honor Yahweh]. Jotham’s workers built the Upper Gate of the temple.
只是高丘仍沒有廢除，人民仍在高丘上焚香獻祭；他建築了上主聖殿的北門。
36 [If you want to know more about] everything else that Jotham did, it is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
約堂其餘的事蹟，他行的一切，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
37 It was during the time that Jotham was the king that Yahweh sent King Rezin of Syria and King Pekah of Israel [with their armies] to attack Judah.
那時，上主已開始派阿蘭王勒斤和勒瑪里雅的兒子培卡黑來攻打猶大。
38 Jotham died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Ahaz became the king of Judah.
