14：1 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 Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah.
14：2 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 and five years old when he began to reign， and reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
14：3 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 that which was right in the sight of the LORD， yet not like David his father： he did according to all things as Joash his father did.
14：4 只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。
Howbeit the high places were not taken away： as yet the people did sacrifice and burnt incense on the high places.
14：5 国一坚定，就把杀他父王的臣仆杀了，And it came to pass， as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand， that he slew his servants which had slain the king his father.
14：6 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，各人要为本身的罪而死。
But the children of the murderers he slew not： according unto that which is written in the book of the law of Moses， wherein the LORD commanded， saying， The fathers shall not be put to death for the children， nor the children be put to death for the fathers； but every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
14：7 亚玛谢在盐谷杀了以东人一万，又攻取了西拉，改名叫约帖，直到今日。
He slew of Edom in the valley of salt ten thousand， and took Selah by war， and called the name of it Joktheel unto this day.
14：8 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 Jehoash， the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu， king of Israel， saying， Come， let us look one another in the face.
14：9 以色列王约阿施差遣使者去见犹大王亚玛谢，说，黎巴嫩的蒺藜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。
And Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah， saying， The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon， saying， Give thy daughter to my son to wife： and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon， and trode down the thistle.
14：10 你打败了以东人就心高气傲，你以此为荣耀，在家里安居就吧了，为何要惹祸，使自己和犹大国一同败亡呢。
Thou hast indeed smitten Edom， and thine heart hath lifted thee up： glory of this， and tarry at home： for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt， that thou shouldest fall， even thou， and Judah with thee？
14：11 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 hear. Therefore Jehoash king of Israel went up； and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Bethshemesh， which belongeth to Judah.
14：12 犹大人败在以色列人面前，各自逃回家里去了。
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel； and they fled every man to their tents.
14：13 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，And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah， the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah， at Bethshemesh， and came to Jerusalem， and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate， four hundred cubits.
