列王纪上 21
1 这事以后，又有一事。耶斯列人拿伯在耶斯列有一个葡萄园，靠近撒马利亚王亚哈的宫。
After these things, Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
2 亚哈对拿伯说：“你将你的葡萄园给我作菜园，因为是靠近我的宫；我就把更好的葡萄园换给你，或是你要银子，我就按着价值给你。”
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near my house; and I will give you for it a better vineyard than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.”
3 拿伯对亚哈说：“我敬畏耶和华，万不敢将我先人留下的产业给你。”
Naboth said to Ahab, “May the LORD forbid me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you!”
4 亚哈因耶斯列人拿伯说“我不敢将我先人留下的产业给你”，就闷闷不乐地回宫，躺在床上，转脸向内，也不吃饭。
Ahab came into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him, for he had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He laid himself down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
5 王后耶洗别来问他说：“你为什么心里这样忧闷，不吃饭呢？”
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, “Why is your spirit so sad that you eat no bread?”
6 他回答说：“因我向耶斯列人拿伯说：‘你将你的葡萄园给我，我给你价银，或是你愿意，我就把别的葡萄园换给你’；他却说：‘我不将我的葡萄园给你。’”
He said to her, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, ‘Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you another vineyard for it.’ He answered, ‘I will not give you my vineyard.’”
7 王后耶洗别对亚哈说：“你现在是治理以色列国不是？只管起来，心里畅畅快快地吃饭，我必将耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园给你。”
Jezebel his wife said to him, “Do you now govern the kingdom of Israel? Arise, and eat bread, and let your heart be merry. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
8 于是托亚哈的名写信，用王的印印上，送给那些与拿伯同城居住的长老贵胄。
So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles who were in his city, who lived with Naboth.
9 信上写着说：“你们当宣告禁食，叫拿伯坐在民间的高位上，
She wrote in the letters, saying, “Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
10 又叫两个匪徒坐在拿伯对面，作见证告他说：‘你谤渎 神和王了’；随后就把他拉出去用石头打死。”
Set two men, wicked fellows, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ‘You cursed God and the king!’ Then carry him out, and stone him to death.”
11 那些与拿伯同城居住的长老贵胄得了耶洗别的信，就照信而行，
The men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had instructed them in the letters which she had written and sent to them.
12 宣告禁食，叫拿伯坐在民间的高位上。
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
13 有两个匪徒来，坐在拿伯的对面，当着众民作见证告他说：“拿伯谤渎 神和王了！”众人就把他拉到城外，用石头打死。
The two men, the wicked fellows, came in and sat before him. The wicked fellows testified against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, “Naboth cursed God and the king!” Then they carried him out of the city and stoned him to death with stones.
14 于是打发人去见耶洗别，说：“拿伯被石头打死了。”
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, “Naboth has been stoned and is dead.”
15 耶洗别听见拿伯被石头打死，就对亚哈说：“你起来得耶斯列人拿伯不肯为价银给你的葡萄园吧！现在他已经死了。”
When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, Jezebel said to Ahab, “Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but dead.”
16 亚哈听见拿伯死了，就起来，下去要得耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园。
When Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
17 耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说：
The LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
18 “你起来，去见住撒马利亚的以色列王亚哈，他下去要得拿伯的葡萄园，现今正在那园里。
“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.
19 你要对他说：‘耶和华如此说：你杀了人，又得他的产业吗？’又要对他说：‘耶和华如此说：狗在何处舔拿伯的血，也必在何处舔你的血。’”
You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “Have you killed and also taken possession?”’ You shall speak to him, saying, ‘The LORD says, “In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth, dogs will lick your blood, even yours.”’”
20 亚哈对以利亚说：“我仇敌啊，你找到我吗？”他回答说：“我找到你了；因为你卖了自己，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。
Ahab said to Elijah, “Have you found me, my enemy?” He answered, “I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do that which is evil in the LORD’s sight.
21 耶和华说：‘我必使灾祸临到你，将你除尽。凡属你的男丁，无论困住的、自由的，都从以色列中剪除。
Behold, I will bring evil on you, and will utterly sweep you away and will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, and him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel.
22 我必使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家，又像亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家；因为你惹我发怒，又使以色列人陷在罪里。’
I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which you have provoked me to anger, and have made Israel to sin.”
23 论到耶洗别，耶和华也说：‘狗在耶斯列的外郭必吃耶洗别的肉。
The LORD also spoke of Jezebel, saying, “The dogs will eat Jezebel by the rampart of Jezreel.
24 凡属亚哈的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。’” （
The dogs will eat he who dies of Ahab in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field.”
25 从来没有像亚哈的，因他自卖，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，受了王后耶洗别的耸动；
But there was no one like Ahab, who sold himself to do that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
26 就照耶和华在以色列人面前所赶出的亚摩利人，行了最可憎恶的事，信从偶像。）
He did very abominably in following idols, according to all that the Amorites did, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
27 亚哈听见这话，就撕裂衣服，禁食，身穿麻布，睡卧也穿着麻布，并且缓缓而行。
When Ahab heard those words, he tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his body, fasted, lay in sackcloth, and went about despondently.
28 耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说：
The LORD’s word came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
29 “亚哈在我面前这样自卑，你看见了吗？因他在我面前自卑，他还在世的时候，我不降这祸；到他儿子的时候，我必降这祸与他的家。”
“See how Ahab humbles himself before me? Because he humbles himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days; but I will bring the evil on his house in his son’s day.”
