Kings III 11
1 And king Solomon was a lover of women. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And he took strange women, as well as the daughter of Pharao, Moabitish, Ammanitish women, Syrians and Idumeans, Chettites, and Amorites;
所羅門王在法老的女兒之外，又寵愛許多外邦女子，就是摩押女子、亞捫女子、以東女子、西頓女子、赫人女子。
2 of the nations concerning whom the Lord forbade the children of Israel, [saying], You shall not go in to them, and they shall not come in to you, lest they turn away your hearts after their idols: Solomon clave to these in love.
論到這些國的人，耶和華曾曉諭以色列人說：「你們不可與她們往來相通，因為她們必誘惑你們的心去隨從她們的神。」所羅門卻戀愛這些女子。
所羅門有妃七百，都是公主；還有嬪三百。這些妃嬪誘惑他的心。
4 And it came to pass in the time of the old age of Solomon, that his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of David his father. And the strange women turned away his heart after their gods. Then Solomon built a high place to Chamos the idol of Moab, and to their king the idol of the children of Ammon,
所羅門年老的時候，他的妃嬪誘惑他的心去隨從別神，不效法他父親大衛誠誠實實地順服耶和華－他的上帝。
5 and to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians.
因為所羅門隨從西頓人的女神亞斯她錄和亞捫人可憎的神米勒公。
6 And thus he acted towards all his strange wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their idols. And Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord: he went not after the Lord, as David his father.
所羅門行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，不效法他父親大衛專心順從耶和華。
所羅門為摩押可憎的神基抹和亞捫人可憎的神摩洛，在耶路撒冷對面的山上建築邱壇。
他為那些向自己的神燒香獻祭的外邦女子，就是他娶來的妃嬪也是這樣行。
9 And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because he turned away his heart from the Lord God of Israel, who had appeared twice to him,
耶和華向所羅門發怒，因為他的心偏離向他兩次顯現的耶和華－以色列的上帝。
10 and charged him concerning this matter, by no means to go after other gods, but to take heed to do what the Lord God commanded him; neither was his heart perfect with the Lord, according to the heart of David his father.
耶和華曾吩咐他不可隨從別神，他卻沒有遵守耶和華所吩咐的。
11 And the Lord said to Solomon, Because it has been thus with you, and you have not kept my commandments and my ordinances which I commanded you, I will surely rend your kingdom out of your hand, and give it to your servant.
所以耶和華對他說：「你既行了這事，不遵守我所吩咐你守的約和律例，我必將你的國奪回，賜給你的臣子。
12 Only in your days I will not do it for David your father's sake: [but] I will take it out of the hand of your son.
然而，因你父親大衛的緣故，我不在你活着的日子行這事，必從你兒子的手中將國奪回。
13 Only I will not take away the whole kingdom: I will give one tribe to your son for David my servant's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen.
只是我不將全國奪回，要因我僕人大衛和我所選擇的耶路撒冷，還留一支派給你的兒子。」
14 And the Lord raised up an enemy to Solomon, Ader the Idumaean, and Esrom son of Eliadae who [lived] in Raama, [and] Adadezer king of Suba his master; (and men gathered to him, and he was head of the conspiracy, and he seized on Damasec, ) and they were adversaries to Israel all the days of Solomon: and Ader the Idumaean [was] of the seed royal in Idumaea.
耶和華使以東人哈達興起，作所羅門的敵人；他是以東王的後裔。
15 And it happened, that while David was utterly destroying Edom, while Joab captain of the host was going to bury the dead, when they killed every male in Idumaea;
先前大衛攻擊以東，元帥約押上去葬埋陣亡的人，將以東的男丁都殺了。
16 (for Joab and all Israel abode there six months in Idumaea, until he utterly destroyed every male in Idumaea; )
約押和以色列眾人在以東住了六個月，直到將以東的男丁盡都剪除。
17 that Ader ran away, he and all the Idumaeans of the servants of his father with him; and they went into Egypt; and Ader [was then] a little child.
那時哈達還是幼童；他和他父親的臣僕，幾個以東人逃往埃及。
18 And there rise up men out of the city of Madiam, and they come to Pharan, and take men with them, and come to Pharao king of Egypt: and Ader went in to Pharao, and he gave him a house, and appointed him provision.
他們從米甸起行，到了巴蘭；從巴蘭帶着幾個人來到埃及見埃及王法老；法老為他派定糧食，又給他房屋田地。
19 And Ader found great favour in the sight of Pharao, and he gave him his wife's sister in marriage, the elder sister of Thekemina.
哈達在法老面前大蒙恩惠，以致法老將王后答比匿的妹子賜他為妻。
20 And the sister of Thekemina bore to him, [even] to Ader, Ganebath her son; and Thekemina brought him up in the midst of the sons of Pharao, and Ganebath was in the midst of the sons of Pharao.
答比匿的妹子給哈達生了一個兒子，名叫基努拔。答比匿使基努拔在法老的宮裏斷奶，基努拔就與法老的眾子一同住在法老的宮裏。
21 And Ader heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead; and Ader said to Pharao, Let me go, and I will return to my country.
哈達在埃及聽見大衛與他列祖同睡，元帥約押也死了，就對法老說：「求王容我回本國去。」
22 And Pharao said to Ader, What lack you with me? that behold! you seek to depart to your country? and Ader said to him, By all means let me go.
法老對他說：「你在我這裏有甚麼缺乏，你竟要回你本國去呢？」他回答說：「我沒有缺乏甚麼，只是求王容我回去。」
23 So Ader returned to his country; this [is] the mischief which Ader did, and he was a bitter enemy of Israel, and he reigned in the land of Edom.
上帝又使以利亞大的兒子利遜興起，作所羅門的敵人。他先前逃避主人瑣巴王哈大底謝。
大衛擊殺 瑣巴人的時候，利遜招聚了一群人，自己作他們的頭目，往大馬士革居住，在那裏作王。
所羅門活着的時候，哈達為患之外，利遜也作以色列的敵人。他恨惡以色列人，且作了亞蘭人的王。
26 And Jeroboam the son of Nabat, the Ephrathite of Sarira, the son of a widow, [was] servant of Solomon.
所羅門的臣僕、尼八的兒子耶羅波安也舉手攻擊王。他是以法蓮支派的洗利達人，他母親是寡婦，名叫洗魯阿。
27 And this [was] the occasion of his lifting up [his] hands against king Solomon: now king Solomon built the citadel, he completed the fortification of the city of David his father.
他舉手攻擊王的緣故，乃由先前所羅門建造米羅，修補他父親大衛城的破口。
28 And the man Jeroboam was very strong; and Solomon saw the young man that he was active, and he set him over the levies of the house of Joseph.
耶羅波安是大有才能的人。所羅門見這少年人殷勤，就派他監管約瑟家的一切工程。
29 And it came to pass at that time, that Jeroboam went forth from Jerusalem, and Achia the Selonite the prophet found him in the way, and caused him to turn aside out of the way: and Achia was clad with a new garment, and they two [were] alone in the field.
一日，耶羅波安出了耶路撒冷，示羅人先知亞希雅在路上遇見他； 亞希雅身上穿着一件新衣。他們二人在田野，以外並無別人。
30 And Achia laid hold of his new garment that was upon him, and tore it [into] twelve pieces:
亞希雅將自己穿的那件新衣撕成十二片，
31 and he said to Jeroboam, Take to yourself ten pieces, for thus says the Lord God of Israel, Behold, I rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give you ten tribes.
對耶羅波安說：「你可以拿十片。耶和華－以色列的上帝如此說：『我必將國從所羅門手裏奪回，將十個支派賜給你。（
32 Yet he shall have two tribes, for my servant David's sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
我因僕人大衛和我在以色列眾支派中所選擇的耶路撒冷城的緣故，仍給所羅門留一個支派。）
33 Because he forsook me, and sacrificed to Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians, and to Chamos, and to the idols of Moab, and to their king the abomination of the children of Ammon, and he walked not in my ways, to do that which was right before me, as David his father [did].
因為他離棄我，敬拜西頓人的女神亞斯她錄、摩押的神基抹，和亞捫人的神米勒公，沒有遵從我的道，行我眼中看為正的事，守我的律例典章，像他父親大衛一樣。
34 Howbeit I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, (for I will certainly resist him all the days of his life, ) for David my servant's sake, whom I have chosen.
但我不從他手裏將全國奪回；使他終身為君，是因我所揀選的僕人大衛謹守我的誡命律例。
35 But I will take the kingdom out of the hand of his son, and give you ten tribes.
我必從他兒子的手裏將國奪回，以十個支派賜給你，
36 But to his son I will give the two [remaining] tribes, that my servant David may have an establishment continually before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
還留一個支派給他的兒子，使我僕人大衛在我所選擇立我名的耶路撒冷城裏，在我面前長有燈光。
37 And I will take you, and you shall reign as your soul desires, and you shall be king over Israel.
我必揀選你，使你照心裏一切所願的，作王治理以色列。
38 And it shall come to pass, if you will keep all the commandments that I shall give you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right before me, to keep my ordinances and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built to David.
你若聽從我一切所吩咐你的，遵行我的道，行我眼中看為正的事，謹守我的律例誡命，像我僕人大衛所行的，我就與你同在，為你立堅固的家，像我為大衛所立的一樣，將以色列人賜給你。
我必因所羅門所行的使大衛後裔受患難，但不至於永遠。』」
40 And Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam: but he arose and fled into Egypt, to Susakim king of Egypt, and he was in Egypt until Solomon died.
所羅門因此想要殺耶羅波安。耶羅波安卻起身逃往埃及；到了埃及王示撒那裏，就住在埃及，直到所羅門死了。
41 And the rest of the history of Solomon, and all that he did, and all his wisdom, behold are not these things written in the book of the life of Solomon?
所羅門其餘的事，凡他所行的和他的智慧都寫在所羅門記上。
42 And the days [during] which Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel [were] forty years.
所羅門在耶路撒冷作以色列眾人的王共四十年。
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David his father, and Roboam his son reigned in his stead.
所羅門與他列祖同睡，葬在他父親大衛的城裏。他兒子羅波安接續他作王。
