< 2 Chronicles 22 >
1 Forsothe the dwelleris of Jerusalem ordeyneden Ocozie, `his leeste sone, kyng for hym; for theues of Arabeis, that felden in to the castels, hadden slayn alle the grettere `in birthe, that weren bifor hym. And Ocozie, the sone of Joram, kyng of Juda, regnede.
[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 Ocozie was of two and fourti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne, and he regnede o yeer in Jerusalem; the name of his modir was Athalia, the douyter of Amry.
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 But he entride bi the weie of the hows of Achab; for his modir compellide hym to do yuele.
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 Therfor he dide yuel in the siyt of the Lord, as the hows of Achab; for thei weren counselouris to hym in to his perischyng, aftir the deth of his fadir;
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 and he yede in the counsele of hem. And he yede with Joram, the sone of Achab, kyng of Israel, in to batel ayens Azahel, kyng of Sirye, in to Ramoth of Galaad. And men of Sirie woundiden 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 which turnede ayen for to be heelid in Jezrahel; for he hadde take many woundis in the forseid batel. Therfor Ocozie, kyng of Juda, the sone of Joram, yede doun to visite Joram, the sone of Achab, sijk in Jezrahel;
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 for it was Goddis wille ayens Ocozie, that he cam to Joram. And whanne he was comun, he yede out with hym ayens Hieu, the sone of Namsi, whom God anoyntide, that he schulde do awey the hows of Achab.
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 Therfor whanne Hieu destriede the hows of Achab, he foond the princis of Juda, and the sones of the britheren of Ocozie, that `mynystriden to hym; and he killide hem.
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 souyte thilke Ocozie, and cauyte him hid in Samarie, and after that he was brouyt to Hieu, Hieu killide hym; and thei birieden hym, for he was the sone of Josaphat, that hadde souyt God in al his herte. And noon hope was more, that ony of the generacioun of Ocozie schulde regne.
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 For Athalia, his modir, siy, that hir sone was deed, and sche roos, and killide alle the kyngis generacioun of the hows of Joram.
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 Forsothe Josabeth, the douyter of the kyng, took Joas, the sone of Ocozie, and stal hym fro the myddis of the sones of the kyng, whanne thei weren slayn; and sche hidde hym with his nurse in the closet of beddis. Forsothe Josabeth, that `hadde hid hym, was the douytir of kyng Joram, and wijf of Joiada, the bischop, and the sister of Ocozie; and therfor Athalia killide not hir.
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 Therfor he was hid with hem in the hows of God sixe yeer, in whiche Athalia regnede on the lond.
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。
