以色列王約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士二年,約阿士的兒子阿瑪責雅登極為猶大王。
2 Amasie was of fyue and twenti yeer, whanne he bigan to regne; forsothe he regnyde in Jerusalem nyne and twenti yeer; the name of his modir was Joade of Jerusalem.
他登極時二十五歲,在耶路撒冷作王,凡二十九年;他的母親名叫約阿當,是耶路撒冷人。
3 And he dide riytfulnesse bifor the Lord, netheles not as Dauid, his fadir; he dide bi alle thingis whiche Joas, his fadir, dide, no but this oonli,
他行了上主視為正義的事,只是不如他的祖先達味,事事仿效他父親約阿士,
4 that he dide not awei hiy thingis; for yit the puple made sacrifice, and brent encence in hiy thingis.
只是沒有廢除高丘,人民仍在高丘上焚香獻祭。
5 And whanne he hadde gete the rewme, he smoot hise seruauntis, that hadden killid the kyng, his fadir;
及至王權已掌握在他手中之後,即將弒殺他父王的那些臣僕殺掉;
6 but he killide not the sones of hem that hadden slayn `the kyng, bi that that is writun in the book of the lawe of Moyses, as the Lord comaundide to Moises, and seide, Fadris schulen not die for the sones, nethir the sones for the fadris, but eche man schal die in his owne synne.
但沒有處死兇手們的子女,因為照梅瑟法律書上的記載,上主曾吩咐說:「不可為兒子的罪處死父親,亦不可為父親的罪處死兒子;每人只應因自己的罪而死。」
7 He smoot Edom in the valey of makyngis of salt, `he smoot ten thousynde, and took `the Stoon in batel; and he clepide the name therof Jethel, `til in to present dai.
阿瑪責雅在鹽谷擊殺了一萬厄東人,一戰而攻佔了色拉,改名叫約刻特耳,直到今日。猶大向以色列宣戰。

那時,阿瑪責雅派遣使者去見以色列王耶胡的孫子,約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士說:「來,讓我們見個高低! 」

以色列王耶曷阿士派人去對猶大王阿瑪責雅說:「黎巴嫩的荊棘派使者對黎巴嫩的香柏說:將你的女兒嫁給我的兒子為妻! 然而有一隻黎巴嫩的野獸經過,將這棵荊棘踐踏了。
10 Thou hast smyte, and haddist the maistri on Edom, and thin herte hath reisid thee; be thou apaied with glorie, and sitte in thin hows; whi excitist thou yuel, that thou falle, and Juda with thee?
你打敗了厄東,就心高氣傲嗎﹖你安居家中引以為榮好了,又何必惹禍,使你和猶大一同喪亡﹖」
11 And Amasie assentide not `to be in pees; and Joas, kyng of Israel, stiede, and he and Amasie, kyng of Juda, sien hem silf in Bethsames, a citee of Juda.
但是,阿瑪責雅不肯聽從,於是以色列王耶曷阿士就上來,在猶大的貝特舍默士與猶大王阿瑪責雅相見了。
12 And Juda was smytun bifor Israel; and thei fledden ech man in to his tabernaclis.
猶大為以色列擊敗,各自逃回帳幕去了。

14 And he took al the gold and siluer, and alle vessels, that weren foundun in the hows of the Lord, and in the tresours of the kyng; and he took ostagis, and turnede ayen in to Samarie.
又將上主殿內和王宮府庫裡所有的金銀和一切器皿,都拿了去,並帶了人質回撒瑪黎雅。
15 Sotheli the resydue of wordis of Joas, whiche he dide, and his strengthe, bi which he fauyt ayens Amasie, kyng of Juda, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of dayes of the kyngis of Israel?

20 And thei baren out hym in horsis, and he was biried in Jerusalem with hise fadris, in the citee of Dauid.
將屍體用馬馱回,葬在耶路撒冷達味城,與他的祖先埋在一起。

25 He restoride the termes of Israel, fro the entryng of Emath `til to the see of wildirnesse, bi the word of the Lord God of Israel, which he spak bi his seruaunt Jonas, sone of Amathi, bi Jonas, the prophete, that was of Jeth, `which Jeth is in Ophir.
他收復了以色列邊境的疆域,從哈瑪特渡口直到阿辣巴海,正如上主以色列的天主,藉他僕人加特赫斐爾人阿米泰的兒子約納所說的話。
26 For the Lord siy the ful bittir turment of Israel, and that thei weren wastid `til to the closid men of prisoun, and the laste men, and `noon was that helpide Israel.
因為上主看見了以色列遭受壓迫,極其痛苦;無論是自由的或不自由的,都沒有了;也沒有人援助以色列。
27 And the Lord spak not, that he schulde do awei Israel fro vndur heuene, but he sauyde hem in the hond of Jeroboam, sone of Joas.
然而上主並沒有意思,要從天下除去以色列的名字,因此,藉耶曷阿士的兒子雅洛貝罕拯救了他們。
