列王纪下 14
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
亚玛谢做犹大王
14 以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施执政第二年，犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢登基。 2 他二十五岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政二十九年。他母亲叫约耶但，是耶路撒冷人。 3 亚玛谢做耶和华视为正的事，虽不如他祖先大卫，但事事效法他父亲约阿施。 4 然而，他没有拆毁丘坛，人们仍在那里献祭烧香。 5 他巩固了王位后，立即处死了杀他父王的臣仆， 6 但没有处死他们的孩子，遵照了耶和华在摩西律法书中的吩咐：“不可因孩子犯罪而处死父亲，也不可因父亲犯罪而处死孩子。各人要自负罪责。” 7 亚玛谢曾在盐谷杀了一万以东人，攻占了西拉，把西拉改名为约帖，沿用至今。
8 后来，亚玛谢差遣使者对耶户的孙子、约哈斯的儿子、以色列王约阿施说：“来，我们战场上见。” 9 以色列王约阿施派人对犹大王亚玛谢说：“黎巴嫩的蒺藜派使者去对黎巴嫩的香柏树说，‘将你女儿嫁给我儿子吧。’后来黎巴嫩的一只野兽经过，把那蒺藜践踏在脚下。 10 你打败了以东人就趾高气扬，还是待在家里庆祝胜利吧，何必惹祸上身，使你和犹大一同灭亡呢？”
11 但亚玛谢不理会他的劝告。于是，以色列王约阿施起兵攻打犹大王亚玛谢，两王会战于犹大的伯·示麦。 12 犹大人被以色列人打败，兵将都各自逃回家去了。 13 约阿施在伯·示麦擒获亚玛谢，然后前往耶路撒冷，拆毁从以法莲门到角门约一百八十米长的耶路撒冷城墙， 14 抢走耶和华殿里和王宫库房里的所有金银和器皿，并带着人质返回撒玛利亚。 15 约阿施其他的事，包括他怎样英勇对抗犹大王亚玛谢，都记在以色列的列王史上。 16 约阿施与祖先同眠后，葬在撒玛利亚的以色列王陵。他儿子耶罗波安继位。
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。 18 亚玛谢其他的事都记在犹大的列王史上。 19 耶路撒冷有人谋反，亚玛谢就逃到拉吉，叛党派人追到那里杀了他。 20 有人用马将他的尸体驮回耶路撒冷，葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。 21 犹大民众拥立亚玛谢十六岁的儿子亚撒利雅[a]为王。 22 亚玛谢与祖先同眠后，亚撒利雅为犹大收回了以拉他，并重新修建。
耶罗波安二世
23 犹大王亚玛谢执政第十五年，以色列王约阿施的儿子耶罗波安在撒玛利亚登基，执政四十一年。 24 他做耶和华视为恶的事，没有离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人犯的那些罪。 25 他收复了从哈马口到死海[b]一带的以色列边境，正如以色列的上帝耶和华借祂仆人迦特希弗人亚米太的儿子约拿先知所言。 26 因为耶和华看见以色列人，无论自由人还是奴隶都十分痛苦，没有人帮助他们。 27 耶和华没有说要从世上抹去以色列的名，因此他借着约阿施的儿子耶罗波安拯救他们。 28 耶罗波安其他的事及其一切所作所为，包括他怎样英勇收复大马士革和一度属犹大国的哈马，都记在以色列的列王史上。 29 耶罗波安与祖先——以色列的先王们同眠后，他儿子撒迦利雅继位。

亚玛谢作犹大王(A)
14 以色列王约哈斯的儿子约阿施在位第二年，犹大王约阿施的儿子亚玛谢登基作王。 2 他登基的时候是二十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王共二十九年。他母亲名叫约耶但，是从耶路撒冷来的。 3 他行耶和华看为正的事；只是不像他的祖先大卫，却是照着他父亲约阿施所行的一切去行。 4 只是邱坛还没有废去，人民仍在邱坛献祭焚香。 5 当国家在他手中稳定以后，他就把那些击杀他父王的臣仆杀了。
6 但他们的儿子没有处死，这是按照摩西律法书上所写，是耶和华的吩咐：“不可因儿子的罪处死父亲，也不可因父亲的罪处死儿子；各人要因自己的罪而死。” 7 他在盐谷击杀了一万以东人，又攻取了西拉，然后把它的名字改称为约帖，直到今日。
亚玛谢向约阿施挑战(B)
8 那时，亚玛谢派使者去见耶户的孙子、约哈斯的儿子以色列王约阿施说：“来，我们在战场相见吧！” 9 以色列王约阿施派人去见犹大王亚玛谢说：“黎巴嫩的蒺藜派人去见黎巴嫩的香柏树说：‘请你把你的女儿给我的儿子作妻子吧！’后来有黎巴嫩的野兽经过，就把蒺藜踩倒了。 10 不错，你打败了以东人，你的心就高傲。你尽管自己夸耀，安坐家中就是了。为甚么要惹祸，使你覆亡，也使犹大跟你一起覆亡呢？”
11 但是亚玛谢不听他的话。于是以色列王约阿施上来，和犹大王亚玛谢在属犹大的伯．示麦相见。 12 犹大人被以色列人击败，各人逃回自己的家去了。 13 以色列王约阿施在伯．示麦捉住了亚哈谢的孙子、约阿施的儿子犹大王亚玛谢。他们来到耶路撒冷，拆毁了耶路撒冷一段城墙，从以法莲门直到角门，共两百公尺。 14 又掠去耶和华殿里和王宫的宝库里找到的所有金子、银子和一切器皿，还有人质，就回撒玛利亚去了。
15 约阿施其余的事迹和他的英勇事迹，就是与犹大王亚玛谢作战的事，不是都写在以色列诸王的年代志上吗？ 16 约阿施和他的祖先一同长眠，他和以色列诸王一样，葬在撒玛利亚。他的儿子耶罗波安接续他作王。
亚玛谢在拉吉被弒(C)
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仍活了十五年。 18 亚玛谢其余的事迹不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗？ 19 在耶路撒冷有人阴谋反叛他，他就逃到拉吉去。他们派人跟踪他到拉吉，就在那里把他杀死了。 20 他们把他的尸首驮在马背上运回来，葬在耶路撒冷，在大卫的城里，和他的祖先在一起。 21 犹大的众民选立了亚撒利雅；他只有十六岁，他们就立他接续他父亲亚玛谢作王。 22 亚玛谢和他的祖先一同长眠以后，亚撒利雅重建了以拉他，并且收归犹大。
耶罗波安二世作以色列王
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玛利亚登基，他作王共四十一年。 24 他行耶和华看为恶的事，不转离尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷于罪中的一切罪。 25 他收复以色列的边境，从哈马口直到亚拉巴海，正如耶和华以色列的 神的话，就是借着他的仆人迦特希弗人亚米太的儿子约拿先知所说的； 26 因为耶和华看见以色列十分艰苦，无论是自由的或为奴的都没有了，也没有帮助以色列的。 27 耶和华没有定命要将以色列的名从天下涂抹，所以借着约阿施的儿子耶罗波安的手拯救他们。
28 耶罗波安其余的事迹和他所行的一切，以及他作战时的英勇，怎样收复大马士革和原属犹大的哈马归以色列，不是都写在以色列诸王的年代志上吗？ 29 耶罗波安和他的祖先以色列诸王一同长眠。他的儿子撒迦利雅就接续他作王。
2 Kings 14
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
14 In the second year of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah reigned.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began his twenty-nine-year reign in Jerusalem. His mother was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem.
3 He did right in the sight of the Lord, yet not like David his [forefather]. He did all things as Joash his father did.
4 But the high places were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
5 As soon as the kingdom was established in Amaziah’s hand, he slew his servants who had slain the king his father.(A)
6 But he did not slay the children of the murderers, in compliance with what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, in which the Lord commanded, The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin only.
7 Amaziah slew of Edom in the Valley of Salt 10,000, and took Sela (Greek petra [rock]) by war, and called it Joktheel, which is the name of it to this day.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face and test each other.
9 Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah, The thistle in Lebanon sent to the cedar in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son as wife. And a wild beast of Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle [leaving the cedar unharmed].
10 You have indeed smitten Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Glory in that, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your hurt and provoke calamity, causing you to fall, you and Judah with you?
11 But Amaziah would not hear. So Jehoash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah measured swords at Beth-shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 But Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled home.
13 And Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh, and came to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, 400 cubits.
14 He seized all the gold and silver and all the vessels found in the Lord’s house and in the treasuries of the king’s house, also hostages, and returned to Samaria.
15 The rest of the acts of Jehoash, his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of Israel’s Kings?
16 Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with Israel’s kings. Jeroboam [II] reigned in his stead.
17 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
18 The rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
19 Now a conspiracy was made against him in Jerusalem, and Amaziah fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and slew him there.
20 They brought him on horses and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
21 And all the people of Judah took Azariah, sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.
22 He built Elath and restored it to Judah after the king [his father] died.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah Jeroboam [II] son of Jehoash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty-one years.
24 He did evil in the sight of the Lord; he did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam [I] son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin.
25 Jeroboam restored Israel’s border from the entrance of Hamath to the [Dead] Sea of the Arabah, according to the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which He spoke through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.
26 For the Lord saw as very bitter the affliction of Israel; there was no one left, bond or free, nor any helper for Israel.
27 But the Lord had not said that He would blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, so He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam [II] son of Jehoash.
28 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam [II], all that he did, his might, how he warred, and how he recovered for Israel Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
29 Jeroboam [II] slept with his fathers, the kings of Israel. Zechariah his son reigned in his stead.
