역대하 25

1아마샤가 위에 나아갈 때에 나이 이십오 세라 예루살렘에서 이십구 년을 치리하니라 그 모친의 이름은 여호앗단이라 예루살렘 사람이더라 2아마샤가 여호와 보시기에 정직히 행하기는 하였으나 온전한 마음으로 행치 아니하였더라 3그 나라가 굳게 서매 그 부왕을 죽인 신복들을 죽였으나 4저희 자녀는 죽이지 아니하였으니 이는 모세 율법 책에 기록한 대로 함이라 곧 여호와께서 명하여 이르시기를 자녀로 인하여 아비를 죽이지 말 것이요 아비로 인하여 자녀를 죽이지 말 것이라 오직 각 사람은 자기의 죄로 인하여 죽을 것이니라 하셨더라 5아마샤가 유다 사람을 모으고 그 여러 족속을 따라 천부장과 백부장을 세우되 유다와 베냐민을 함께 그리하고 이십 세 이상으로 계수하여 창과 방패를 잡고 능히 전장에 나갈만한 자 삼십만을 얻고 6또 은 일백 달란트로 이스라엘 나라에서 큰 용사 십만을 삯내었더니 7어떤 하나님의 사람이 아마샤에게 나아와서 이르되 왕이여 이스라엘 군대로 왕과 함께 가게 마옵소서 여호와께서는 이스라엘 곧 온 에브라임 자손과 함께 하지 아니하시나니 8왕이 만일 가시거든 힘써 싸우소서 하나님이 왕을 대적 앞에 엎드러지게 하시리이다 하나님은 능히 돕기도 하시고 능히 패하게도 하시나이다 9아마샤가 하나님의 사람에게 이르되 내가 일백 달란트를 이스라엘 군대에게 주었으니 어찌할꼬 하나님의 사람이 대답하되 여호와께서 능히 이보다 많은 것으로 왕에게 주실 수 있나이다 10아마샤가 이에 에브라임에서 자기에게 나아온 군대를 구별하여 본곳으로 돌아가게 하였더니 저희 무리가 유다 사람을 심히 노하여 분연히 본곳으로 돌아갔더라 11아마샤가 담력을 내어 그 백성을 거느리고 염곡에 이르러 세일 자손 일만을 죽이고 12유다 자손이 또 일만을 사로잡아 가지고 바위 꼭대기에 올라가서 거기서 밀쳐 내려뜨려서 그 몸이 부숴지게 하였더라 13아마샤가 자기와 함께 전장에 나가지 못하게 하고 돌려 보낸 군사들이 사마리아에서부터 벧호론까지 유다 성읍을 엄습하고 사람 삼천을 죽이고 물건을 많이 노략하였더라 14아마샤가 에돔 사람을 도륙하고 돌아올 때에 세일 자손의 우상들을 가져다가 자기의 신으로 세우고 그 앞에 경배하며 분향한지라 15그러므로 여호와께서 아마샤에게 진노하사 한 선지자를 보내시니 나아가 가로되 저 백성의 신들이 자기 백성을 왕의 손에서 능히 구원하지 못하였거늘 왕은 어찌하여 그 신들에게 구하나이까 하며 16선지자가 오히려 말할 때에 왕이 이르되 우리가 너로 왕의 모사를 삼았느냐 그치라 어찌하여 맞으려 하느냐 선지자가 그치며 가로되 왕이 이 일을 행하고 나의 경고를 듣지 아니하니 하나님이 왕을 멸하시기로 결정하신줄 아노라 하였더라 17유다 왕 아마샤가 상의하고 예후의 손자 여호아하스의 아들 이스라엘 왕 요아스에게 사자를 보내어 이르되 오라 서로 대면하자 한지라 18이스라엘 왕 요아스가 유다 왕 아마샤에게 보내어 이르되 레바논 가시나무가 레바논 백향목에게 보내어 이르기를 네 딸을 내 아들에게 주어 아내를 삼게하라 하였더니 레바논 짐승이 지나가다가 그 가시나무를 짓밟았으니라 19네가 에돔 사람을 쳤다 하고 네 마음이 교만하여 자긍하는도다 네 궁에나 편히 거하라 어찌하여 화를 자취하여 너와 유다가 함께 망하고자 하느냐 하나 20아마샤가 듣지 아니하였으니 이는 하나님께로 말미암은 것이라 저희가 에돔 신들에게 구하였으므로 그 대적의 손에 붙이려 하심이더라 21이스라엘 왕 요아스가 올라와서 유다 왕 아마샤로 더불어 유다의 벧세메스에서 대면하였더니 22유다가 이스라엘 앞에서 패하여 각기 장막으로 도망한지라 23이스라엘 왕 요아스가 벧세메스에서 여호아하스의 손자 요아스의 아들 유다 왕 아마샤를 사로잡고 예루살렘에 이르러 예루살렘 성벽을 에브라임 문에서부터 성 모퉁이 문까지 사백 규빗을 헐고 24또 하나님의 전 안에 오벧에돔의 지키는 모든 금은과 기명과 왕궁의 재물을 취하고 또 사람을 볼모로 잡아가지고 사마리아로 돌아갔더라 25이스라엘 왕 요아하스의 아들 요아스가 죽은 후에도 유다 왕 요아스의 아들 아마샤가 십오 년을 생존하였더라 26아마샤의 이 외의 시종 행적은 유다와 이스라엘 열왕기에 기록되지 아니하였느냐 27아마샤가 돌이켜 여호와를 버린 후로부터 예루살렘에서 무리가 저를 모반한고로 저가 라기스로 도망하였더니 모반한 무리가 사람을 라기스로 따라 보내어 저를 거기서 죽이게 하고 28그 시체를 말에 실어다가 그 열조와 함께 유다 성읍에 장사하였더라

1Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem. 2He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a perfect heart. 3Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed the king his father. 4But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Yahweh commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.” 5Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield. 6He hired also one hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver. 7A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you; for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim. 8But if you will go, take action, be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.” 9Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than this.” 10Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger. 11Amaziah took courage, and led his people out, and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir. 12The children of Judah carry away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces. 13But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder. 14Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense to them. 15Therefore Yahweh’s anger was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?” 16As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counselors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to my counsel.” 17Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us look one another in the face.” 18Joash 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 your daughter to my son as his wife; then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by, and trampled down the thistle. 19You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?’” 20But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom. 21So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah. 22Judah was defeated by Israel; and they fled every man to his tent. 23Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits. 24He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria. 25Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 26Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? 27Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish, and killed him there. 28They brought him on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

1Amazia, vijf en twintig jaren oud zijnde, werd koning, en regeerde negen en twintig jaren te Jeruzalem; en de naam zijner moeder was Joaddan, van Jeruzalem. 2En hij deed dat recht was in de ogen des HEEREN, doch niet met een volkomen hart. 3Het geschiedde nu, als het koninkrijk aan hem gesterkt was, dat hij zijn knechten, die den koning, zijn vader, geslagen hadden, doodde. 4Doch hun kinderen doodde hij niet, maar hij deed, gelijk in de wet, in het boek van Mozes, geschreven is, waar de HEERE geboden heeft, zeggende: De vaders zullen niet sterven om de kinderen, en de kinderen zullen niet sterven om de vaders; maar een ieder zal om zijn zonde sterven. 5En Amazia vergaderde Juda, en stelde hen, naar de huizen der vaderen, tot oversten van duizenden en tot oversten van honderden, door gans Juda en Benjamin; en hij monsterde hen, van twintig jaren oud en daarboven, en vond hen driehonderd duizend uitgelezenen, uittrekkende ten heire, handelende spies en rondas. 6Daartoe huurde hij uit Israel honderd duizend kloeke helden, voor honderd talenten zilvers. 7Maar er kwam een man Gods tot hem, zeggende: O, koning! laat het heir van Israel met u niet gaan; want de HEERE is niet met Israel, met alle kinderen van Efraim. 8Maar zo gij gaat, doe het, wees sterk ten strijde; God zal u doen vallen voor den vijand; want in God is kracht, om te helpen en om te doen vallen. 9En Amazia zeide tot den man Gods: Maar wat zal men doen met de honderd talenten, die ik aan de benden van Israel gegeven heb? En de man Gods zeide: De HEERE heeft meer dan dit, om u te geven. 10Toen scheidde Amazia die af, te weten de benden, die uit Efraim tot hem gekomen waren, dat zij naar hun plaats gingen; daarom ontstak hun toorn zeer tegen Juda, en zij keerden weder tot hun plaats in hittigheid des toorns. 11Amazia nu sterkte zich, en leidde zijn volk uit, en toog in het Zoutdal, en sloeg van de kinderen van Seir tien duizend. 12Daartoe vingen de kinderen van Juda tien duizend levend, en brachten ze op de hoogte der steenrots, en stieten hen van de spits der steenrots af, dat zij allen barstten. 13Maar de mannen der benden, die Amazia had doen wederkeren, dat zij met hem in den strijd niet zouden trekken, die deden een inval in de steden van Juda, van Samaria af tot Beth-horon toe, en sloegen van hen drie duizend, en roofden veel roofs. 14Het geschiedde nu, nadat Amazia van het slaan der Edomieten gekomen was, en dat hij de goden der kinderen van Seir medegebracht had, dat hij die zich tot goden stelde, en zich voor dezelve neder boog en dien rookte. 15Toen ontstak de toorn des HEEREN tegen Amazia; en Hij zond tot hem een profeet, die zeide tot hem: Waarom hebt gij de goden van dat volk gezocht, die hun volk niet gered hebben uit uw hand? 16En het geschiedde, als hij tot hem sprak, dat hij hem zeide: Heeft men u tot des konings raadgever gesteld? Houd gij op; waarom zouden zij u slaan? Toen hield de profeet op, en zeide: Ik merk, dat God besloten heeft u te verderven, dewijl gij dit gedaan, en naar mijn raad niet gehoord hebt. 17En Amazia, de koning van Juda, werd te rade, dat hij zond tot Joas, den zoon van Joahaz, den zoon van Jehu, den koning van Israel, om te zeggen: Kom, laat ons elkanders aangezicht zien. 18Maar Joas, de koning van Israel, zond tot Amazia, den koning van Juda, om te zeggen: De distel, die op den Libanon is, zond tot den ceder, die op den Libanon is, om te zeggen: Geef uw dochter mijn zoon ter vrouw; maar het gedierte des velds, dat op den Libanon is, ging voorbij, en vertrad de distel. 19Gij zegt: Zie, gij hebt de Edomieten geslagen; daarom heeft uw hart u verheven, om te roemen; nu, blijf in uw huis; waarom zoudt gij u in het kwaad mengen, dat gij vallen zoudt; gij en Juda met u? 20Doch Amazia hoorde niet, want het was van God, opdat Hij hen in hun hand gave, overmits zij de goden der Edomieten gezocht hadden. 21Zo toog Joas, de koning van Israel, op, en hij en Amazia, de koning van Juda, zagen elkanders aangezichten te Beth-Semes, dat in Juda is. 22En Juda werd geslagen voor het aangezicht van Israel; en zij vloden een iegelijk in zijn tenten. 23En Joas, de koning van Israel, greep Amazia, den koning van Juda, den zoon van Joas, den zoon van Joahaz, te Beth-Semes; en hij bracht hem te Jeruzalem, en hij brak aan den muur van Jeruzalem, van de poort van Efraim tot aan de Hoekpoort, vierhonderd ellen. 24Daartoe nam hij al het goud, en het zilver, en al de vaten, die in het huis Gods gevonden werden, bij Obed-Edom, en de schatten van het huis des konings, mitsgaders gijzelaars, en hij keerde weder naar Samaria. 25Amazia nu, de zoon van Joas, de koning van Juda, leefde na den dood van Joas, den zoon van Joahaz, den koning van Israel, vijftien jaren. 26Het overige nu der geschiedenissen van Amazia, de eerste en de laatste, ziet, zijn die niet geschreven in het boek der koningen van Juda en Israel? 27Van den tijd nu af, dat Amazia afgeweken was van achter den HEERE, zo maakten zij in Jeruzalem een verbintenis tegen hem; doch hij vluchtte naar Lachis. Toen zonden zij hem na tot Lachis, en doodden hem aldaar. 28En zij brachten hem op paarden, en begroeven hem bij zijn vaderen in de stad van Juda.
