Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of 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 good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
2亞瑪謝 行耶和華眼中看為正的事，只是心不專誠。
3And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
3國一堅定，就把殺他父王的臣僕殺了，
4But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man shall 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。」
5Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold 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 hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, 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, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim:
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。
8And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight.
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。」
9And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israeli and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee 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。」
10Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country.
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。
11And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand.
11亞瑪謝 壯起膽來，率領他的民到 鹽谷 ，殺了 西珥 人一萬。
12And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken 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。
13But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil.
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。
14But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense 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。
15Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy 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？」
16And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king’s counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel.
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 Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another.
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 he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by, and trod down 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。
19Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee.
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？」
20Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord’s will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of 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 Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda:
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 Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.
22猶大 人敗在 以色列 人面前，各自逃回家裏去了。
23And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, 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；
24And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king’s house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back 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。
25And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
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。
26Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda 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？
27And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and 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。
28And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
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。
