1以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施第二年，犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢登基。In the second year of the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, Amaziah son of Joash became king of Judah.
2他登基的时候年二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王二十九年。他母亲名叫约耶但，是耶路撒冷人。He 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.
3亚玛谢行耶和华眼中看为正的事，但不如他祖大卫，乃效法他父约阿施一切所行的；And 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.
4只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away, and the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
5国一坚定，就把杀他父王的臣仆杀了，As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
6却没有治死杀王之人的儿子，是照摩西律法书上耶和华所吩咐的说：“不可因子杀父，也不可因父杀子，。”Yet 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.”
7亚玛谢在盐谷杀了以东人一万，又攻取了，改名叫约帖，直到今日。Amaziah 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.
8那时，亚玛谢差遣使者去见耶户的孙子约哈斯的儿子以色列王约阿施，说：“你来，我们二人相见于战场。”Then 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.
9以色列王约阿施差遣使者去见犹大王亚玛谢，说：“黎巴嫩的差遣使者去见黎巴嫩的香柏树，说：将你的女儿给我儿子为妻。后来黎巴嫩有一个野兽经过，把蒺藜践踏了。But 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.
10你打败了以东人就心高气傲，你以此为荣耀，在家里安居就罢了，为何要惹祸，使自己和犹大国一同败亡呢？”You 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?”
11亚玛谢却不肯听这话。于是以色列王约阿施上来，在犹大的伯·示麦与犹大王亚玛谢相见于战场。But Amaziah would not listen, so Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
12犹大人败在以色列人面前，各自逃回家里去了。And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his home.
13以色列王约阿施在伯·示麦擒住亚哈谢的孙子、约阿施的儿子犹大王亚玛谢，就来到耶路撒冷，拆毁耶路撒冷的城墙，从以法莲门直到角门共四百肘，There 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.
14又将耶和华殿里与王宫府库里所有的金银和器皿都拿了去，并带人去，就回撒马利亚去了。He 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.
15约阿施其余所行的事和他的勇力，并与犹大王亚玛谢争战的事，都写在以色列诸王记上。As 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?
16约阿施与他列祖同睡，葬在撒马利亚，以色列诸王的坟地里。他儿子耶罗波安接续他作王。And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.
17以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施死后，犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢又活了十五年。Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
18亚玛谢其余的事都写在犹大列王记上。As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
19耶路撒冷有人背叛亚玛谢，他就逃到拉吉；叛党却打发人到拉吉将他杀了。And conspirators plotted against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
20人就用马将他的尸首驮到耶路撒冷，葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
21犹大众民立亚玛谢的儿子亚撒利雅（又名乌西雅）接续他父作王，那时他年十六岁。Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
22亚玛谢与他列祖同睡之后，亚撒利雅收回以拉他仍归犹大，又重新修理。Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
23犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢十五年，以色列王约阿施的儿子耶罗波安在撒马利亚登基，作王四十一年。In 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.
24他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，不离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的一切罪。And 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.
25他收回以色列边界之地，从直到，正如耶和华—以色列的 神借他仆人迦特希弗人亚米太的儿子先知所说的。This 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.
26因为耶和华看见以色列人甚是艰苦，无论困住的、自由的都没有了，也无人帮助以色列人。For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel,
27耶和华并没有说要将以色列的名从天下涂抹，乃借约阿施的儿子耶罗波安拯救他们。and 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.
28耶罗波安其余的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力，他怎样争战，怎样收回大马士革和先前属犹大的哈马归以色列，都写在以色列诸王记上。As 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?
29耶罗波安与他列祖以色列诸王同睡。他儿子撒迦利雅接续他作王。And Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.
