列王紀上 14
1 [雅洛貝罕的兒子患病]那時，雅洛貝罕的兒子阿彼雅患病，
At that time Abiyah the son of Jerobo'am fell sick.
2 雅洛貝罕對自己的妻子說：「請你起來改裝，教人認不出你是雅洛貝罕的妻子，往史羅去，在那裏有先知阿希雅，他曾預言過我要作這人民的君王。
And Jerobo'am said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that people may not know that thou art the wife of Jerobo'am; and go to Shiloh: behold, there is Achiyahu the prophet, who spoke of me that [I should become] king over this people.
3 你帶上十塊餅，一些餅乾和一瓶蜜去見他，他會告訴你孩子將來究竟如何。」
And take with thee ten loaves of bread and spice-cakes, and a cruise of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what is to become of the lad.
4 雅洛貝罕的妻子就這樣做了：起身去了史羅，來到阿希雅的家。阿希雅因年老，眼睛昏花，不能看清；
And Jerobo'am's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Achiyahu. But Achiyahu was not able to see; for his eyes were set by reason of his high age.
5 但上主卻預先對阿希雅說：「雅洛貝罕的妻子，要來問你有關她兒子的事，因為她兒子病了；你要如此這般地答覆她；她來時，是作另一婦人的打扮。」阿希雅預言孩子必死
And the Lord had said unto Achiyahu, Behold the wife of Jerobo'am is coming to inquire a word of thee about her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou speak unto her; for it will be, when she cometh in, that she will feign to be another.
6 她一進門，阿希雅聽見她的腳步聲，就說：「雅洛貝罕的妻子，請進來! 你為什麼扮另一婦人﹖我正奉命要告訴你一個凶信。
And it happened, when Achiyahu heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jerobo'am; why is this, that thou feignest to be another? but I am sent to thee with a hard message.
7 你去告訴雅洛貝罕，上主以色列的天主這樣說：我從人民中提拔了你，立你作我人民以色列的領袖；
Go, say to Jerobo'am, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, Forasmuch as I exalted thee from the midst of the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
8 我從達味家奪過王國來交給你，而你卻不像我的僕人達味那樣遵守我的誡命，全心隨從我，只行我視為正義的事；
And I rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it unto thee; whereas thou hast not been like my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed after me with all his heart, to do only what is right in my eyes;
9 你反而作惡甚於你以前的任何人，且去為你自己製造別的神，鑄造偶像，惹我發怒，完全背棄了我。
And thou hast done more evil than all that were before thee; and thou art gone and hast made unto thyself other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and me hast thou cast behind thy back:
10 因此，我要降災懲罰雅洛貝罕家，消滅以色列所有屬於雅洛貝罕的男人，無論是自由的或是不自由的，一概除掉；我要掃除雅洛貝罕的家，有如人清除糞土一樣。
Therefore, behold, will I bring evil upon the house of Jerobo'am, and will cut off from Jerobo'am every male, [also] the guarded and fortified in Israel; and I will sweep out after the house of Jerobo'am as one sweepeth away the dung till there be nothing left of it.
11 凡屬雅洛貝罕的人，死在城中的，必為狗吞食，死在田野間的，必為空中的飛鳥啄食：因為上主說了。
Him that dieth of Jerobo'am in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the heavens eat; for the Lord hath spoken it.
12 現在，你快起身回家；當的腳踏進城門時，孩子就要死去。
But thou, arise now, go to thy own house: when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13 全以色列人要哀悼他，埋葬他；雅洛貝罕家中，只有他得進入墳墓，因為雅洛貝罕家中，只有他行了一些中悅上主，以色列的天主的善事。
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for this one alone shall come of Jerobo'am's [family] to the grave; because there hath been found in him some good thing toward the Lord the God of Israel in the house of Jerobo'am.
14 上主必為自己另選一位君王來統治以色列，那天他要消滅雅洛貝罕家。現在，我還能說什麼﹖
And the Lord will raise up unto himself a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jerobo'am what is here this day, and what will be after this.
15 上主必要打擊以色列，使他們搖動如同水中的蘆葦；並將以色列從上主賜給他們祖先的福地上拔除，使他們分散在大河之外，因為他們製造了阿舍辣惹上主發怒。
And the Lord will smite Israel, as the reed is shaken in the water, and he will pull up Israel out of this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them on the other side of the river; because they have made their groves, provoking the Lord to anger.
16 由於雅洛貝罕自己所犯的罪，和使他以色列所犯的罪，上主必要拋棄以色列。」
And he will give Israel up for the sake of the sins of Jerobo'am, who did sin, and who induced Israel to sin.
17 雅洛貝罕的妻子遂起身走了，到了提爾匝，一進家門，孩子就死了。
And Jerobo'am's wife arose, and departed, and came to Thirzah; [and] as she came to the threshold of the door, the lad died:
18 全以色列埋葬了他，並為他舉哀，正如上主藉著他的僕人阿希雅先知所說的話。雅洛貝罕逝世
And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of his servant Achiyahu the prophet.
19 雅洛貝罕其餘的事蹟，有關他怎樣戰爭，怎樣作王，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
And the rest of the acts of Jerobo'am, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20 雅洛貝罕在位凡二十二年，然後與列祖同眠。他的兒子納達布繼位為王。勒哈貝罕為猶大王
And the days which Jerobo'am reigned were two and twenty years; and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son became king in his stead.
21 撒羅滿的兒子勒哈貝罕在猶大為王，他登極時，年四十一歲。他在耶路撒冷，即在上主從以色列各支派中選出歸他名下的城中，作王十七年；他的母親名叫納阿瑪，是阿孟人。
And Rehobo'am the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehobo'am was forty and one years old when he became king, and seventeen years did he reign in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name was Na'amah the 'Ammonitess.
22 猶大人行了上主視為惡的事；他們所犯的罪比他們祖先所犯的，更激怒上主，
And Judah did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord, and they moved him to wrath more than all that their fathers had done, with their sins which they committed.
23 因為他們也在各地的高崗上，在各綠樹下，修築了丘壇、柱像和阿舍辣；
And they also built themselves high-places, and standing images, and groves, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
24 境內還有為神賣淫的男女，完全仿效了上主從以色列前所驅逐的異族，做了種種可憎惡的事。埃及王進攻猶大
And sodomites also were in the land: they acted in accordance with all the abominable deeds of the nations which the Lord had driven out before the children of Israel.
25 勒哈貝罕作王第五年，埃及王史沙克上來進攻耶路撒冷，
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehobo'am, that Shishak the king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem:
26 劫去上主殿內和王宮的寶物，全部帶走，連撒羅滿所製的一切金盾牌也都帶去。
And he took away the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the king's house; yea, every thing did he take away; and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
27 勒哈貝罕只得製造銅盾牌來代替，交給防衛宮門的侍衛長保管；
And king Rehobo'am made in their stead shields of copper, and committed them for keeping into the hand of the chiefs of the runners, who kept guard at the door of the king's house.
28 每逢君王進入上主的殿時，侍衛便手持這些盾牌；事後，仍將盾牌送回侍衛室中。勒哈貝罕逝世
And it happened whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, that the runners used to bear them, and carried them then back into the apartment of the runners.
29 勒哈貝罕其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在猶大列王十實錄上。
And the rest of the acts of Rehobo'am, and all that he did, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah.
30 勒哈貝罕與雅洛貝罕之間不斷發生戰事。
And there was war between Rehobo'am and Jerobo'am all the days.
31 勒哈貝罕與列祖同眠，與列祖同葬在達味城。他的母親名叫納阿瑪，是阿孟人；他的兒子阿彼雅繼位為王。
And Rehobo'am slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Na'amah the 'Ammonitess. And Abiyam his son became king in his stead.
