列王紀上 15
1 尼八的兒子耶羅波安王十八年，亞比央登基作猶大王，
And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam has reigned over Judah;
2 在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母親名叫瑪迦，是押沙龍的女兒。
he has reigned three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;
3 亞比央行他父親在他以前所行的一切惡，他的心不像他祖大衛的心，誠誠實實地順服耶和華－他的上帝。
and he walks in all the sins of his father that he did before him, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, as the heart of his father David;
4 然而耶和華－他的上帝因大衛的緣故，仍使他在耶路撒冷有燈光，叫他兒子接續他作王，堅立耶路撒冷。
but for David’s sake his God YHWH has given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem,
5 因為大衛除了赫人烏利亞那件事，都是行耶和華眼中看為正的事，一生沒有違背耶和華一切所吩咐的。
in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all [the] days of his life—except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;
6 羅波安在世的日子常與耶羅波安爭戰。
and there has been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7 亞比央其餘的事，凡他所行的，都寫在猶大列王記上。亞比央常與耶羅波安爭戰。
And the rest of the matters of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there has been war between Abijam and Jeroboam;
8 亞比央與他列祖同睡，葬在大衛的城裏。他兒子亞撒接續他作王。
and Abijam lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns in his stead.
9 以色列王耶羅波安二十年，亞撒登基作猶大王，
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa has reigned over Judah,
10 在耶路撒冷作王四十一年。他祖母名叫瑪迦，是押沙龍的女兒。
and he has reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.
11 亞撒效法他祖大衛行耶和華眼中看為正的事，
And Asa does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, like his father David,
12 從國中除去孌童，又除掉他列祖所造的一切偶像；
and removes the whoremongers out of the land, and turns aside all the idols that his fathers made;
13 並且貶了他祖母瑪迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亞舍拉。亞撒砍下她的偶像，燒在汲淪溪邊，
and also his mother Maachah—he turns her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for an Asherah, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron;
14 只是邱壇還沒有廢去。亞撒一生卻向耶和華存誠實的心。
but the high places have not been removed; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect with YHWH [for] all his days,
15 亞撒將他父親所分別為聖與自己所分別為聖的金銀和器皿都奉到耶和華的殿裏。
and he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of YHWH: silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 亞撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常爭戰。
And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days,
17 以色列王巴沙上來要攻擊猶大，修築拉瑪，不許人從猶大王亞撒那裏出入。
and Baasha king of Israel goes up against Judah, and builds Ramah, not to permit anyone going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
18 於是亞撒將耶和華殿和王宮府庫裏所剩下的金銀都交在他臣僕手中，打發他們往住大馬士革的亞蘭王－希旬的孫子、他伯利們的兒子便‧哈達那裏去，
And Asa takes all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and gives them into the hand of his servants, and King Asa sends them to Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
19 說：「你父曾與我父立約，我與你也要立約。現在我將金銀送你為禮物，求你廢掉你與以色列王巴沙所立的約，使他離開我。」
“A covenant [is] between me and you, between my father and your father; behold, I have sent a reward of silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off me.”
20 便‧哈達聽從亞撒王的話，派軍長去攻擊以色列的城邑；他們就攻破以雲、但、亞伯‧伯‧瑪迦、基尼烈全境、拿弗他利全境。
And Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has against cities of Israel, and strikes Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali;
21 巴沙聽見，就停工不修築拉瑪了，仍住在得撒。
and it comes to pass at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and dwells in Tirzah.
22 於是亞撒王宣告猶大眾人，不准一個推辭，吩咐他們將巴沙修築拉瑪所用的石頭、木頭都運去，用以修築便雅憫的迦巴和米斯巴。
And King Asa has summoned all Judah—there is none exempt—and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha has built, and King Asa builds with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 亞撒其餘的事，凡他所行的，並他的勇力與他所建築的城邑，都寫在猶大列王記上。亞撒年老的時候，腳上有病。
And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Only, at the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet;
24 亞撒與他列祖同睡，葬在他祖大衛城他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子約沙法接續他作王。
and Asa lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead.
25 猶大王亞撒第二年，耶羅波安的兒子拿答登基作以色列王共二年，
And Nadab son of Jeroboam has reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigns over Israel two years,
26 拿答行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，行他父親所行的，犯他父親使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪。
and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and goes in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made Israel to sin.
27 以薩迦人亞希雅的兒子巴沙背叛拿答，在非利士的基比頓殺了他。那時拿答和以色列眾人正圍困基比頓。
And Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspires against him, and Baasha strikes him in Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines—and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon—
28 在猶大王亞撒第三年巴沙殺了他，篡了他的位。
indeed, Baasha puts him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns in his stead.
29 巴沙一作王就殺了耶羅波安的全家，凡有氣息的沒有留下一個，都滅盡了，正應驗耶和華藉他僕人示羅人亞希雅所說的話。
And it comes to pass, at his reigning, he has struck the whole house of Jeroboam, he has not left any breathing to Jeroboam until his destroying him, according to the word of YHWH, that He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 這是因為耶羅波安所犯的罪使以色列人陷在罪裏，惹動耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣。
because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked YHWH, God of Israel, to anger.
31 拿答其餘的事，凡他所行的，都寫在以色列諸王記上。
And the rest of the matters of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
32 亞撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常爭戰。
And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days.
33 猶大王亞撒第三年，亞希雅的兒子巴沙在得撒登基作以色列眾人的王共二十四年。
In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah has reigned over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty-four years,
34 他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，行耶羅波安所行的道，犯他使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪。
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.
