Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶何耶大等人立約輔助王子(A)
23 到了第七年，耶何耶大奮勇圖強，召來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和細基利的兒子以利沙法等幾位百夫長，和他們立約。 2 他們就走遍猶大，從猶大各城召集利未人和以色列各家族的首領；他們就來到耶路撒冷。 3 全體會眾在 神的殿裡與王立約。耶何耶大對他們說：“王的兒子應當按照耶和華應許大衛的子孫的話作王。 4 你們要這樣行：你們中間每逢安息日來值班的祭司和利未人，三分之一要把守各門； 5 三分之一要在王宮，三分之一要在基址門；全體人民都要在耶和華殿的院子裡。 6 除了祭司和供職的利未人以外，任何人不得進入耶和華的殿，只有他們可以進去，因為他們是分別為聖的；全體人民都要遵守耶和華的吩咐。 7 利未人要在周圍環繞君王，各人手裡拿著武器；擅自進殿的，都必被處死；王出入的時候，你們都要隨著他。” 8 利未人和猶大眾人都照著耶何耶大祭司吩咐的一切去行；他們各人帶著在安息日值班或在安息日下班的人來，因為耶何耶大祭司不准他們下班。 9 於是耶何耶大祭司把 神的殿裡，原本屬於大衛王的矛槍、大盾和小盾，交給了眾百夫長； 10 他又分派眾民，手中各拿兵器，守在祭壇和殿的四周，從殿的右面到殿的左面，環繞著王。 11 於是他們把王子領出來，給他戴上王冠，又把約書交給他，立他為王；耶何耶大和他的眾子用膏膏他，並且說：“願王萬歲！”
亞他利雅被殺(B)
12 亞他利雅聽見人民奔跑和讚美王的聲音，就進了耶和華的殿，到眾民那裡去。 13 她一觀看，見王站在殿門口的柱旁，眾官長和吹號的人在王的周圍；國民都歡樂吹號，又有歌唱的人用各種樂器領導眾人歌頌。於是亞他利雅撕裂衣服，說：“反了！反了！” 14 耶何耶大祭司把管轄軍隊的眾百夫長叫出來，對他們說：“把她從各班次中間趕出去；跟隨她的人，都要用刀殺死。”因為祭司說：“不可在耶和華的殿內殺死她。” 15 她走到王宮的馬門入口的時候，眾兵就把她拿住，在那裡把她殺死了。
耶何耶大的改革(C)
16 耶何耶大與眾民和王立約，要他們作耶和華的子民。 17 於是眾民都去到巴力廟，把廟拆毀，打碎祭壇和偶像，又在祭壇前殺了巴力的祭司瑪坦。 18 耶何耶大把看守耶和華殿的責任，交在利未支派的祭司手裡；這些利未支派的祭司是大衛分派在耶和華的殿中，照著摩西的律法所記的，給耶和華獻燔祭，又照著大衛所定的，歡樂歌唱。 19 他又設立守門的看守耶和華殿的各門，無論為了甚麼事，不潔淨的人，都不能進去。 20 他率領百夫長、貴族、民間的官長和國民，又把王從耶和華的殿領下來，從“上門”進入王宮，擁立王坐在王位上。 21 於是全國的人民都歡樂，全城也都寧靜；因為他們把亞他利雅用刀殺了。

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
Darby Translation
23 And in the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and took the captains of the hundreds, Azariah the son of Jeroham, and Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, and Azariah the son of Obed, and Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri, into covenant with him.
2 And they went about in Judah and gathered together the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief fathers of Israel; and they came to Jerusalem.
3 And all the congregation made a covenant with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Behold, the king's son shall reign, as Jehovah has said of the sons of David.
4 This is the thing which ye shall do: a third part of you that come in on the sabbath, of the priests and of the Levites, shall be keepers of the doors;
5 and a third part shall be at the king's house; and a third part at the gate of the foundation; and all the people shall be in the courts of the house of Jehovah.
6 But let none come into the house of Jehovah except the priests and those of the Levites that do the service; they shall go in, for they are holy; but all the people shall keep the watch of Jehovah.
7 And the Levites shall encompass the king round about, every man with his weapons in his hand; and he that comes into the house shall be put to death; and ye shall be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.
8 And the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded; and they took every man his men, those that were to come in on the sabbath, with them that were to go forth on the sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest did not liberate the divisions.
9 And Jehoiada the priest gave to the captains of the hundreds king David's spears and shields and targets, which were in the house of God.
10 And he set all the people, every man with his javelin in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, toward the altar and the house, by the king round about.
11 And they brought forth the king's son, and put the crown upon him, and [gave him] the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, Long live the king!
12 And Athaliah heard the noise of the people running and praising the king, and she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.
13 And she looked, and behold, the king stood on his dais at the entrance, and the princes and the trumpets were by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets; and the singers [were there] with the instruments of music, and such as taught to sing praise. And Athaliah rent her garments, and said, Conspiracy! Conspiracy!
14 And Jehoiada the priest brought out the captains of the hundreds that were set over the host, and said to them, Lead her forth without the ranks; and whosoever follows her, let him be slain with the sword; for the priest said, Ye shall not put her to death in the house of Jehovah.
15 And they made way for her, and she went through the entrance of the horse-gate into the king's house, and they put her to death there.
16 And Jehoiada made a covenant between himself and all the people and the king, that they should be the people of Jehovah.
17 And all the people went into the house of Baal, and broke it down; and they broke his altars and his images in pieces, and slew Mattan the priest of Baal before the altars.
18 And Jehoiada appointed the offices of the house of Jehovah under the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had set by classes over the house of Jehovah to offer up Jehovah's burnt-offerings, as it is written in the law of Moses,—with rejoicing and with singing according to the directions of David.
19 And he set the doorkeepers at the gates of the house of Jehovah, that no one unclean in anything should enter in.
20 And he took the captains of the hundreds, and the nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the people of the land, and brought down the king from the house of Jehovah; and they came through the upper gate into the king's house, and set the king upon the throne of the kingdom.
21 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the city was quiet; and they had slain Athaliah with the sword.
