< 1 Kings 11 >

1 Now king Solomon loved women, and he took many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites;
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 which the LORD said to the children of Israel, "You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods." Solomon clung 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。
3 He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred secondary wives; and his wives turned away his heart.
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 For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
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 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
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 Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and did not completely follow after the LORD, as did 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。
7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Milcom the abomination of the people of Ammon.
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。
8 So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
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 The LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
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 had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods. But he did not obey that which the LORD commanded.
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 Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, "Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will 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 Notwithstanding I will not do it in your days, for David your father's sake; but I will tear 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 However I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant's sake, and for Jerusalem's sake 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 The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite. He was of the royal line in Edom.
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 For it happened, when David had conquered Edom, and Joab the commander of the army was gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom
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 remained there six months, until he had killed every male in Edom);
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 Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father's servants with him, to go into Egypt, Hadad being yet 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 They arose out of Midian, and came to Paran; and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
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 Hadad found great favor in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
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 The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes raised in Pharaoh's house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh's house among the sons of Pharaoh.
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 When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Let me depart, that I may go to my own 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 Then Pharaoh said to him, "But what have you lacked with me, that look, you seek to go to your own country?" He answered, "Nothing, however only let me depart."
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 God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah.
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。
24 He gathered men to himself and became leader of a marauding band when David killed them. And they went to Damascus, and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.
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。
25 He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, besides the evil Hadad did. And he loathed Israel, and reigned over Aram.
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 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, he also lifted up his hand against the king.
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 This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach 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 The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labor 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 happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the way and caused him to turn aside out of the way. Now he had dressed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the countryside.
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 Ahijah laid hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.
亞希雅將自己穿的那件新衣撕成十二片,
31 He said to Jeroboam, "Take ten pieces; for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Look, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you
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 (but he shall have one tribe, for my servant David's sake and for Jerusalem's sake, 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 has forsaken me, and has worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the people of Ammon. And he has not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, 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 "'However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand; but I will make him prince all the days of his life, for David my servant's sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes;
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 his son's hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
我必從他兒子的手裏將國奪回,以十個支派賜給你,
36 To his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me 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 I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and 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 It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
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。
39 I will for this afflict the offspring of David, but not forever.'"
我必因所羅門所行的使大衛後裔受患難,但不至於永遠。』」
40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam; but Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren't they written in the book of the acts 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 The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
所羅門在耶路撒冷作以色列眾人的王共四十年。
43 Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
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。
