1Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:
1亞哈斯作猶大王（王下16:1~4）亞哈斯登基的時候，是二十歲；他在耶路撒冷作王十六年。他不像他的祖先大衛一樣，行耶和華看為正的事，
2For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim.
2他卻隨從以色列諸王的道路，又為巴力鑄造偶像；
3Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the children of Israel.
3並且在欣嫩子谷燒香，用火焚燒自己的兒女，像耶和華在以色列人面前驅走的外族人所行可厭惡的事一樣；
4He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
4又在邱壇上、山岡上和各青翠樹下，獻祭燒香。
5Wherefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him with a great slaughter.
5亞哈斯被亞蘭王所敗（王下16:5）因此，耶和華他的 神把他交在亞蘭王手裡；亞蘭王擊敗了他，擄走了他很多人民，帶到大馬士革去。 神又把他交在以色列王手裡，以色列王就在猶大進行大屠殺。
6For Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.
6利瑪利的兒子比加在猶大一天之內殺了十二萬人，全是勇士，因為他們離棄了耶和華他們列祖的 神。
7And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king.
7有一個以法蓮的勇士，名叫細基利，殺了王的兒子瑪西雅、王宮的總管押斯利甘和王的宰相以利加拿。
8And the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
8以色列人俘擄猶大人以色列人從他們的兄弟中擄走婦孺共二十萬人；又從他們中間奪取了很多戰利品，帶回撒瑪利亞去。
9But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the LORD God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.
9那裡有一位耶和華的先知名叫俄德，出來迎接回到撒瑪利亞來的軍隊，對他們說：“耶和華你們列祖的 神因為惱怒猶大人，才把他們交在你們手裡，你們卻怒氣沖天，殺戮了他們。
10And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins against the LORD your God?
10現在你們又想強迫猶大人和耶路撒冷人作你們的奴婢。難道你們自己就沒有得罪耶和華你們的 神嗎？
11Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the LORD is upon you.
11你們現在要聽我的話，把你們擄回來的兄弟釋放回去，因為耶和華的震怒已經臨到你們身上了。”
12Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against them that came from the war,
12於是以法蓮人的幾個首領，就是約哈難的兒子亞撒利雅、米實利末的兒子比利家、沙龍的兒子耶希西家和哈得萊的兒子亞瑪撒，起來阻擋從戰場回來的軍隊，
13And said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the LORD already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.
13對他們說：“你們不可把這些俘虜帶進來，因為我們已經得罪了耶和華，你們想增加我們的罪惡和過犯，我們的過犯實在嚴重，耶和華的震怒臨到以色列人身上了。”
14So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
14於是，軍隊把俘虜和戰利品都留在眾領袖和全體會眾的面前。
15And the men which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.
15上面提過的那些人就起來，領走那些俘虜，從戰利品中拿出衣服給所有赤身的穿著，給他們穿上鞋，給他們吃喝，又給他們抹油，又把所有疲弱的人放在驢子上，把他們送回棕樹城耶利哥他們的兄弟那裡，然後就回撒瑪利亞去了。
16At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
16亞哈斯向亞述王求助（王下16:7~9）那時，亞哈斯王派人去求亞述王幫助他，
17For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
17因為以東人又來攻打猶大，擄走了許多人。
18The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Bethshemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.
18非利士人也侵入了高原和猶大南面的眾城，佔領了伯．示麥、亞雅崙、基低羅、梭哥和屬於梭哥的村莊，亭納和屬於亭納的村莊，瑾瑣和屬於瑾瑣的村莊，並且住在那裡。
19For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the LORD.
19因為猶大王亞哈斯在猶大放縱邪惡，大大地冒犯了耶和華，所以耶和華使猶大卑微。
20And Tilgathpilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
20亞述王提革拉．毗尼色來到他那裡，不但沒有援助他，反倒欺壓他。
21For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
21亞哈斯取了耶和華殿裡和王宮中，以及眾領袖家裡的財寶，給了亞述王，但也無濟於事。
22And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the LORD: this is that king Ahaz.
22向大馬士革的神獻祭這亞哈斯王在急難的時候，竟越發冒犯耶和華。
23For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
23他向擊敗了他的大馬士革的神獻祭，說：“亞蘭王的神幫助了他們，我也向它們獻祭，使它們也幫助我。”它們卻使他和以色列人滅亡。
24And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD, and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
24亞哈斯把 神殿裡的器皿收集起來，把這些 神殿裡的器皿都擊碎了，又封閉了耶和華殿的各門，並且在耶路撒冷的各個角落建造祭壇。
25And in every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD God of his fathers.
25他又在猶大各城建造邱壇，向別的神燒香，惹怒他列祖的 神。
26Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
26亞哈斯逝世亞哈斯其餘的事蹟和他一切所行的，以及一生的始末，都記在猶大和以色列諸王記上。
27And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
27亞哈斯和他的列祖同睡，埋葬在耶路撒冷城裡，但沒有葬在以色列諸王的陵墓裡。他的兒子希西家接續他作王。
