1In the second year of the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, Amaziah son of Joash became king of Judah.
1以色列 王 約哈斯 的兒子 約阿施 第二年， 猶大 王 約阿施 的兒子 亞瑪謝 登基。
2He 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.
2他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。
3And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. He did everything as his father Joash had done.
3亞瑪謝 行耶和華眼中看為正的事，但不如他祖 大衛 ，乃效法他父 約阿施 一切所行的；
4Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away, and the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
4只是邱壇還沒有廢去，百姓仍在那裏獻祭燒香。
5As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
5國一堅定，就把殺他父王的臣僕殺了，
6Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, but acted according to what is written in the Book of the Law 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.”
6卻沒有治死殺王之人的兒子，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。」
7Amaziah struck down 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He took Sela in battle and called it Joktheel, which is its name to this very day.
7亞瑪謝 在 鹽谷 殺了 以東 人一萬，又攻取了 西拉 ，改名叫 約帖 ，直到今日。
8Then Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
8那時， 亞瑪謝 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 。」
9But 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.
9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。
10You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become proud. Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
10你打敗了 以東 人就心高氣傲，你以此為榮耀，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？」
11But Amaziah would not listen, and Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
11亞瑪謝 卻不肯聽這話。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 。
12And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his home.
12猶大 人敗在 以色列 人面前，各自逃回家裏去了。
13There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
13以色列 王 約阿施 在 伯‧示麥 擒住 亞哈謝 的孫子、 約阿施 的兒子 猶大 王 亞瑪謝 ，就來到 耶路撒冷 ，拆毀 耶路撒冷 的城牆，從 以法蓮 門直到 角門 共四百肘，
14He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
14又將耶和華殿裏與王宮府庫裏所有的金銀和器皿都拿了去，並帶人去為質，就回 撒馬利亞 去了。
15As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
15約阿施 其餘所行的事和他的勇力，並與 猶大 王 亞瑪謝 爭戰的事，都寫在 以色列 諸王記上。
16And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.
16約阿施 與他列祖同睡，葬在 撒馬利亞 ， 以色列 諸王的墳地裏。他兒子 耶羅波安 接續他作王。
17Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
17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。
18As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
18亞瑪謝 其餘的事都寫在 猶大 列王記上。
19And conspirators plotted against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
19耶路撒冷 有人背叛 亞瑪謝 ，他就逃到 拉吉 ；叛黨卻打發人到 拉吉 將他殺了。
20They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
20人就用馬將他的屍首馱到 耶路撒冷 ，葬在 大衛城 他列祖的墳地裏。
21Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
21猶大 眾民立 亞瑪謝 的兒子 亞撒利雅 接續他父作王，那時他年十六歲。
22Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
22亞瑪謝 與他列祖同睡之後， 亞撒利雅 收回 以拉他 仍歸 猶大 ，又重新修理。
23In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years.
23猶大 王 約阿施 的兒子 亞瑪謝 十五年， 以色列 王 約阿施 的兒子 耶羅波安 在 撒馬利亞 登基，作王四十一年。
24And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
24他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，不離開 尼八 的兒子 耶羅波安 使 以色列 人陷在罪裏的一切罪。
25This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.
25他收回 以色列 邊界之地，從 哈馬口 直到 亞拉巴海 ，正如耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝藉他僕人 迦特希弗 人 亞米太 的兒子先知 約拿 所說的。
26For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel,
26因為耶和華看見 以色列 人甚是艱苦，無論困住的、自由的都沒有了，也無人幫助 以色列 人。
27and since the LORD had said that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
27耶和華並沒有說要將 以色列 的名從天下塗抹，乃藉 約阿施 的兒子 耶羅波安 拯救他們。
28As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
28耶羅波安 其餘的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力，他怎樣爭戰，怎樣收回 大馬士革 和 先前屬 猶大 的 哈馬 歸 以色列 ，都寫在 以色列 諸王記上。
29And Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.
29耶羅波安 與他列祖 以色列 諸王同睡。他兒子 撒迦利雅 接續他作王。
