王下14:5 当国家在他手中稳定以后，他就把那些击杀他父王的臣仆杀了。
王下14:5 Now when he became strong in the kingdom, straight away he put to death those servants who had taken the life of the king his father;
王下14:6 但他们的儿子没有处死，这是按照摩西律法书上所写，是耶和华的吩咐：“不可因儿子的罪处死父亲，也不可因父亲的罪处死儿子；各人要因自己的罪而死。”
王下14:6 But he did not put their children to death; for the orders of the Lord recorded in the book of the law of Moses say, The fathers are not to be put to death for the children, or the children for their fathers; but a man is to be put to death for the sin which he himself has done.

王下14:10 不错，你打败了以东人，你的心就高傲。你尽管自己夸耀，安坐家中就是了。为什么要惹祸，使你覆亡，也使犹大跟你一起覆亡呢？”
王下14:10 It is true that you have overcome Edom and your heart is uplifted; let that glory be enough for you, and keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?
王下14:11 但是亚玛谢不听他的话。于是以色列王约阿施上来，和犹大王亚玛谢在属犹大的伯．示麦相见。

王下14:14 And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord and in the store-house of the king, together with those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.
王下14:15 约阿施其余的事迹和他的英勇事迹，就是与犹大王亚玛谢作战的事，不是都写在以色列诸王的年代志上吗？
王下14:15 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash, and his power, and how he went to war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

王下14:25 He got back the old limits of Israel from the way into Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, as the Lord had said by his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet of Gath-hepher.
王下14:26 因为耶和华看见以色列十分艰苦，无论是自由的或为奴的都没有了，也没有帮助以色列的。
王下14:26 For the Lord saw how bitter was the trouble of Israel, and that everyone was cut off, he who was shut up and he who went free, and that Israel had no helper.
王下14:27 耶和华没有定命要将以色列的名从天下涂抹，所以借着约阿施的儿子耶罗波安的手拯救他们。
