Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
1亞瑪謝 登基的時候年二十五歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王二十九年。他母親名叫 約耶但 ，是 耶路撒冷 人。
2And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not wholeheartedly.
2亞瑪謝 行耶和華眼中看為正的事，只是心不專誠。
3As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
3國一堅定，就把殺他父王的臣僕殺了，
4Yet he did not put their sons to death, but acted according to what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
4卻沒有治死他們的兒子，是照 摩西 律法書上耶和華所吩咐的說：「不可因子殺父，也不可因父殺子，各人要為本身的罪而死。」
5Then Amaziah gathered the people of Judah and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and of hundreds. And he numbered those twenty years of age or older throughout Judah and Benjamin and found 300,000 chosen men able to serve in the army, bearing the spear and shield.
5亞瑪謝 招聚 猶大 人，按着 猶大 和 便雅憫 的宗族設立千夫長、百夫長，又數點人數，從二十歲以外，能拿槍拿盾牌出去打仗的精兵共有三十萬；
6He also hired 100,000 mighty warriors from Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
6又用銀子一百他連得，從 以色列 招募了十萬大能的勇士。
7But a man of God came to him and said, “O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel—not with any of the Ephraimites.
7有一個神人來見 亞瑪謝 ，對他說：「王啊，不要使 以色列 的軍兵與你同去，因為耶和華不與 以色列 人 以法蓮 的後裔同在。
8Even if you go and fight bravely in battle, God will make you stumble before the enemy, for God has power to help and power to overthrow.”
8你若一定要去，就奮勇爭戰吧！但上帝必使你敗在敵人面前；因為上帝能助人得勝，也能使人傾敗。」
9Amaziah asked the man of God, “What should I do about the hundred talents I have given to the army of Israel?” And the man of God replied, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
9亞瑪謝 問神人說：「我給了 以色列 軍的那一百他連得銀子怎麼樣呢？」神人回答說：「耶和華能把更多的賜給你。」
10So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. And they were furious with Judah and returned home in great anger.
10於是 亞瑪謝 將那從 以法蓮 來的軍兵分別出來，叫他們回家去。故此，他們甚惱怒 猶大 人，氣忿忿地回家去了。
11Amaziah, however, summoned his strength and led his troops to the Valley of Salt, where he struck down 10,000 men of Seir,
11亞瑪謝 壯起膽來，率領他的民到 鹽谷 ，殺了 西珥 人一萬。
12and the army of Judah also captured 10,000 men alive. They took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.
12猶大 人又生擒了一萬帶到山崖上，從那裏把他們扔下去，以致他們都摔碎了。
13Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had dismissed from battle raided the cities of Judah, from Samaria to Beth-horon. They struck down 3,000 people and carried off a great deal of plunder.
13但 亞瑪謝 所打發回去、不許一同出征的那些軍兵攻打 猶大 各城，從 撒馬利亞 直到 伯‧和崙 ，殺了三千人，搶了許多財物。
14When Amaziah returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the Seirites, set them up as his own gods, bowed before them, and burned sacrifices to them.
14亞瑪謝 殺了 以東 人回來，就把 西珥 的神像帶回，立為自己的神，在它面前叩拜燒香。
15Therefore the anger of the LORD burned against Amaziah, and He sent him a prophet, who said, “Why have you sought this people’s gods, which could not deliver them from your hand?”
15因此，耶和華的怒氣向 亞瑪謝 發作，就差一個先知去見他，說：「這些神不能救它的民脫離你的手，你為何尋求它呢？」
16While he was still speaking, the king asked, “Have we made you the counselor to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?” So the prophet stopped, but he said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my advice.”
16先知與王說話的時候，王對他說：「誰立你作王的謀士呢？你住口吧！為何找打呢？」先知就止住了，又說：「你行這事，不聽從我的勸戒，我知道上帝定意要滅你。」
17Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent word to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
17猶大 王 亞瑪謝 與群臣 商議，就差遣使者去見 耶戶 的孫子、 約哈斯 的兒子、 以色列 王 約阿施 ，說：「你來，我們二人相見 於戰場 。」
18But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
18以色列 王 約阿施 差遣使者去見 猶大 王 亞瑪謝 ，說：「 黎巴嫩 的蒺藜差遣使者去見 黎巴嫩 的香柏樹，說：『將你的女兒給我兒子為妻。』後來 黎巴嫩 有一個野獸經過，把蒺藜踐踏了。
19You have said, ‘Look, I have defeated Edom,’ and your heart has become proud and boastful. Now stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
19你說：『看哪，我打敗了 以東 人』，你就心高氣傲，以致矜誇。你在家裏安居就罷了，為何要惹禍使自己和 猶大 國一同敗亡呢？」
20But Amaziah would not listen, for this had come from God in order to deliver them into the hand of Jehoash, because they had sought the gods of Edom.
20亞瑪謝 卻不肯聽從。這是出乎上帝，好將他們交在 敵人 手裏，因為他們尋求 以東 的神。
21So Jehoash king of Israel advanced, and he and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
21於是 以色列 王 約阿施 上來，在 猶大 的 伯‧示麥 與 猶大 王 亞瑪謝 相見 於戰場 。
22And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his own home.
22猶大 人敗在 以色列 人面前，各自逃回家裏去了。
23There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
23以色列 王 約阿施 在 伯‧示麥 擒住 約哈斯 的孫子、 約阿施 的兒子、 猶大 王 亞瑪謝 ，將他帶到 耶路撒冷 ，又拆毀 耶路撒冷 的城牆，從 以法蓮門 直到 角門 ，共四百肘；
24He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of God with Obed-edom and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
24又將 俄別‧以東 所看守上帝殿裏的一切金銀和器皿，與王宮裏的財寶都拿了去，並帶人去為質，就回 撒馬利亞 去了。
25Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
25以色列 王 約哈斯 的兒子 約阿施 死後， 猶大 王 約阿施 的兒子 亞瑪謝 又活了十五年。
26As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from beginning to end, are they not written in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel?
26亞瑪謝 其餘的事，自始至終不都寫在 猶大 和 以色列 諸王記上嗎？
27From the time that Amaziah turned from following the LORD, a conspiracy was formed against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
27自從 亞瑪謝 離棄耶和華之後，在 耶路撒冷 有人背叛他，他就逃到 拉吉 ；叛黨卻打發人到 拉吉 ，將他殺了。
28They carried him back on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
28人就用馬將他的屍首馱回，葬在 猶大 京 城他列祖的墳地裏。
