历代志下 23
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶何耶大等人立约辅助王子(A)
23 到了第七年，耶何耶大奋勇图强，召来耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅、约哈难的儿子以实玛利、俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅、亚大雅的儿子玛西雅和细基利的儿子以利沙法等几位百夫长，和他们立约。 2 他们就走遍犹大，从犹大各城召集利未人和以色列各家族的首领；他们就来到耶路撒冷。 3 全体会众在 神的殿里与王立约。耶何耶大对他们说：“王的儿子应当按照耶和华应许大卫的子孙的话作王。 4 你们要这样行：你们中间每逢安息日来值班的祭司和利未人，三分之一要把守各门； 5 三分之一要在王宫，三分之一要在基址门；全体人民都要在耶和华殿的院子里。 6 除了祭司和供职的利未人以外，任何人不得进入耶和华的殿，只有他们可以进去，因为他们是分别为圣的；全体人民都要遵守耶和华的吩咐。 7 利未人要在周围环绕君王，各人手里拿着武器；擅自进殿的，都必被处死；王出入的时候，你们都要随着他。” 8 利未人和犹大众人都照着耶何耶大祭司吩咐的一切去行；他们各人带着在安息日值班或在安息日下班的人来，因为耶何耶大祭司不准他们下班。 9 于是耶何耶大祭司把 神的殿里，原本属于大卫王的矛枪、大盾和小盾，交给了众百夫长； 10 他又分派众民，手中各拿兵器，守在祭坛和殿的四周，从殿的右面到殿的左面，环绕着王。 11 于是他们把王子领出来，给他戴上王冠，又把约书交给他，立他为王；耶何耶大和他的众子用膏膏他，并且说：“愿王万岁！”
亚他利雅被杀(B)
12 亚他利雅听见人民奔跑和赞美王的声音，就进了耶和华的殿，到众民那里去。 13 她一观看，见王站在殿门口的柱旁，众官长和吹号的人在王的周围；国民都欢乐吹号，又有歌唱的人用各种乐器领导众人歌颂。于是亚他利雅撕裂衣服，说：“反了！反了！” 14 耶何耶大祭司把管辖军队的众百夫长叫出来，对他们说：“把她从各班次中间赶出去；跟随她的人，都要用刀杀死。”因为祭司说：“不可在耶和华的殿内杀死她。” 15 她走到王宫的马门入口的时候，众兵就把她拿住，在那里把她杀死了。
耶何耶大的改革(C)
16 耶何耶大与众民和王立约，要他们作耶和华的子民。 17 于是众民都去到巴力庙，把庙拆毁，打碎祭坛和偶像，又在祭坛前杀了巴力的祭司玛坦。 18 耶何耶大把看守耶和华殿的责任，交在利未支派的祭司手里；这些利未支派的祭司是大卫分派在耶和华的殿中，照着摩西的律法所记的，给耶和华献燔祭，又照着大卫所定的，欢乐歌唱。 19 他又设立守门的看守耶和华殿的各门，无论为了甚么事，不洁净的人，都不能进去。 20 他率领百夫长、贵族、民间的官长和国民，又把王从耶和华的殿领下来，从“上门”进入王宫，拥立王坐在王位上。 21 于是全国的人民都欢乐，全城也都宁静；因为他们把亚他利雅用刀杀了。

耶何耶大立约阿施为犹大王
23 第七年，耶何耶大发愤图强，召来一些百夫长与他们立约。他们是耶罗罕的儿子亚撒利雅，约哈难的儿子以实玛利，俄备得的儿子亚撒利雅，亚大雅的儿子玛西雅，以及细基利的儿子以利法。 2 他们走遍犹大各城，把利未人和以色列的各族长召集到耶路撒冷。 3 全体会众到上帝的殿中与王立约。耶何耶大对他们说：“王的儿子当做王！这是耶和华对大卫子孙的应许。 4 你们要这样做，三分之一在安息日值班的祭司和利未人要把守各门， 5 三分之一要把守王宫，三分之一要把守基址门，所有民众要留在耶和华殿的院子里。 6 只有祭司和供职的利未人可以进耶和华的殿，因为他们是圣洁的。其他人一律不准进殿。所有的人都要遵守耶和华的吩咐。 7 利未人要手持兵器护卫在王周围。凡擅自进殿的，一律处死。无论王去哪里，你们都要紧随左右。”
8 于是，利未人和所有犹大人遵照耶何耶大祭司的命令而行，各自带来在安息日值班和休班的属下，因为耶何耶大祭司没有让他们休班。 9 耶何耶大祭司把上帝殿中大卫王的矛枪和大小盾牌交给百夫长。 10 耶何耶大安排众民手持兵器，从殿右到殿左，在祭坛和殿周围护卫王， 11 然后他们领王子出来，给他戴上王冠，把律法书交给他。耶何耶大及其众子膏立王子为王。众人高呼：“愿王万岁！”
亚她利雅被处死
12 亚她利雅听到人们奔走称颂王的声音，便走进耶和华的殿，众人都聚集在那里。 13 她看见王站在门口的柱旁，百夫长和吹号的人侍立在王左右，众民都欢呼吹号，歌乐手用各种乐器带领众人唱歌颂扬，便撕裂衣服，喊道：“反了！反了！” 14 耶何耶大祭司认为不可在耶和华的殿里处死亚她利雅，便命令带兵的百夫长出来，对他们说：“把她带出去。要用刀杀死所有跟随她的人。” 15 他们抓住她，把她带到马匹进出王宫的入口，在那里杀了她。
耶何耶大的改革
16 耶何耶大让民众和王与他一起立约，要做耶和华的子民。 17 于是，民众出去拆毁了巴力庙，砸碎祭坛和偶像，在坛前杀了巴力的祭司玛坦。 18 耶何耶大照大卫的吩咐让利未祭司负责耶和华殿里的事务。大卫曾吩咐利未祭司在耶和华的殿中司职，照摩西的律法向耶和华献燔祭，欢呼歌唱。 19 耶何耶大还派门卫把守耶和华殿的各门，禁止一切不洁净的人入内。 20 他率领百夫长、贵族、首领和全体民众护送王从耶和华的殿里下来，经上门进入王宫，拥立王登上王位。 21 民众都欢喜快乐，城里安定，因为亚她利雅已死在刀下。

耶何耶大立約阿施為猶大王
23 第七年，耶何耶大發憤圖強，召來一些百夫長與他們立約。他們是耶羅罕的兒子亞撒利雅，約哈難的兒子以實瑪利，俄備得的兒子亞撒利雅，亞大雅的兒子瑪西雅，以及細基利的兒子以利法。 2 他們走遍猶大各城，把利未人和以色列的各族長召集到耶路撒冷。 3 全體會眾到上帝的殿中與王立約。耶何耶大對他們說：「王的兒子當做王！這是耶和華對大衛子孫的應許。 4 你們要這樣做，三分之一在安息日值班的祭司和利未人要把守各門， 5 三分之一要把守王宮，三分之一要把守基址門，所有民眾要留在耶和華殿的院子裡。 6 只有祭司和供職的利未人可以進耶和華的殿，因為他們是聖潔的。其他人一律不准進殿。所有的人都要遵守耶和華的吩咐。 7 利未人要手持兵器護衛在王周圍。凡擅自進殿的，一律處死。無論王去哪裡，你們都要緊隨左右。」
8 於是，利未人和所有猶大人遵照耶何耶大祭司的命令而行，各自帶來在安息日值班和休班的屬下，因為耶何耶大祭司沒有讓他們休班。 9 耶何耶大祭司把上帝殿中大衛王的矛槍和大小盾牌交給百夫長。 10 耶何耶大安排眾民手持兵器，從殿右到殿左，在祭壇和殿周圍護衛王， 11 然後他們領王子出來，給他戴上王冠，把律法書交給他。耶何耶大及其眾子膏立王子為王。眾人高呼：「願王萬歲！」
亞她利雅被處死
12 亞她利雅聽到人們奔走稱頌王的聲音，便走進耶和華的殿，眾人都聚集在那裡。 13 她看見王站在門口的柱旁，百夫長和吹號的人侍立在王左右，眾民都歡呼吹號，歌樂手用各種樂器帶領眾人唱歌頌揚，便撕裂衣服，喊道：「反了！反了！」 14 耶何耶大祭司認為不可在耶和華的殿裡處死亞她利雅，便命令帶兵的百夫長出來，對他們說：「把她帶出去。要用刀殺死所有跟隨她的人。」 15 他們抓住她，把她帶到馬匹進出王宮的入口，在那裡殺了她。
耶何耶大的改革
16 耶何耶大讓民眾和王與他一起立約，要做耶和華的子民。 17 於是，民眾出去拆毀了巴力廟，砸碎祭壇和偶像，在壇前殺了巴力的祭司瑪坦。 18 耶何耶大照大衛的吩咐讓利未祭司負責耶和華殿裡的事務。大衛曾吩咐利未祭司在耶和華的殿中司職，照摩西的律法向耶和華獻燔祭，歡呼歌唱。 19 耶何耶大還派門衛把守耶和華殿的各門，禁止一切不潔淨的人入內。 20 他率領百夫長、貴族、首領和全體民眾護送王從耶和華的殿裡下來，經上門進入王宮，擁立王登上王位。 21 民眾都歡喜快樂，城裡安定，因為亞她利雅已死在刀下。
2 Chronicles 23
Expanded Bible
23 In the seventh year Jehoiada ·decided to do something [summoned his courage/strength]. He made an ·agreement [covenant; pact] with the ·commanders [officers] of the groups of a hundred men: Azariah son of Jeroham, Ishmael son of Jehohanan, Azariah son of Obed, Maaseiah son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat son of Zicri. 2 They went throughout Judah and ·gathered [summoned; assembled] the Levites from all the towns, and they gathered the ·leaders [heads] of the ·families [clans] of ·Judah [L Israel; 12:6]. Then they went to Jerusalem. 3 All the people together made an ·agreement [covenant; pact] with the king in the ·Temple [L house] of God.
Jehoiada said to them, “The king’s son will ·rule [reign], as the Lord ·promised [has spoken] about David’s ·descendants [sons]. 4 Now this is what you must do: You priests and Levites ·go [or who go…] on duty on the Sabbath. A third of you will ·guard the doors [be gatekeepers]. 5 A third of you will be at the king’s ·palace [L house], and a third of you will be at the Foundation Gate. All the other people will stay in the courtyards of the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord. 6 Don’t let anyone ·come into [enter] the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord except the priests and Levites ·who serve [on duty]. They may come because they ·have been made ready to serve the Lord [are holy/consecrated/set apart], but all the others must ·do the job the Lord has given them [obey the Lord’s instructions]. 7 The Levites must ·stay near [surround] the king, each man with his weapon in his hand. If anyone tries to enter the ·Temple [L house], kill him. Stay close to the king when he goes in and when he goes out.”
Joash Becomes King
8 The Levites and all the people of Judah obeyed everything Jehoiada the priest ·had commanded [ordered]. He did not ·excuse [dismiss; release] anyone from the ·groups [divisions] of the priests. So each commander took his men who came on duty on the Sabbath ·with [as well as] those who went off duty on the Sabbath. 9 Jehoiada gave the ·commanders [officers] of a hundred men the spears and the large and small shields that had belonged to King David and that were kept in the ·Temple [L house] of God. 10 Then Jehoiada ·told the soldiers where to stand [stationed/positioned all the people] with weapon in hand. There were guards from the ·south [L right] side of the ·Temple [L house] to the ·north [L left] side. They stood by the altar and the ·Temple [L house] and around the king.
11 Jehoiada and his sons brought out the king’s son and put the crown on him and gave him a copy of the ·agreement [covenant; treaty]. Then they ·appointed [anointed] him king and shouted, “Long live the king!”
12 When Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and ·praising [cheering] the king, she ·went to them [joined the crowd] at the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord. 13 She looked, and there was the king standing by his pillar at the entrance [C a symbolic place of authority]. The ·officers [commanders] and the trumpeters were standing beside him, and all the people of the land were ·happy [rejoicing] and blowing trumpets. The singers were playing musical instruments and leading the ·praises [celebration]. Then Athaliah tore her clothes [C a sign of mourning or distress] and screamed, “·Traitors! Traitors! [Treason! Treason!]”
14 Jehoiada the priest sent out the ·commanders [officers] of a hundred men, who ·led [were in charge of] the army. He said, “Surround her with soldiers and take her out of the ·Temple [L house] area. Kill with a sword anyone who follows her.” He had said, “Don’t put Athaliah to death in the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord.” 15 So they ·caught [seized] her ·when she came [or and took her] to the entrance of the Horse Gate near the ·palace [L house]. There they put her to death.
16 Then Jehoiada made an ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with the people and the king that they would be ·the Lord’s special people [L a people for the Lord]. 17 All the people went to the ·Temple [L house] of Baal and tore it down, ·smashing [demolishing] the altars and ·idols [images]. They killed Mattan, the priest of Baal, in front of the altars.
18 Then Jehoiada chose the priests, who were Levites, to be ·responsible for [in charge of] the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord. David had ·given [assigned] them duties in the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord. They were to ·offer [sacrifice] the burnt offerings [Lev. 1:1–17] to the Lord as the ·Teachings [law] of Moses commanded, and they were to ·offer [sacrifice] them with much joy and singing as David had ·commanded [ordered; instructed]. 19 Jehoiada ·put [stationed; positioned] guards at the gates of the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord so that anyone who was ·unclean [defiled; C ritually] in any way could not enter.
20 Jehoiada took with him the ·commanders [officers] of a hundred men, the ·important men [nobles], the rulers of the people, and all the people of the land to ·take [lead; escort] the king out of the ·Temple [L house] of the Lord. They went through the Upper Gate into the ·palace [L house], and then they seated the king on the throne. 21 So all the people of the land ·were very happy [rejoiced], and Jerusalem ·had peace [was quiet], because Athaliah had been put to death with the sword.
