列王紀上 15
1 [阿彼雅為猶大王]乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕王十八年，阿彼雅登極作猶大王，
And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat began Abijam to reign over Judah.
2 在耶路撒冷作王三年；他母親名叫瑪阿加，是阿貝沙隆的外孫女。
He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, a daughter of Abishalom.
3 阿彼雅作了他父親在他以前所行的一切邪惡；他的心對上主他的天主，不像他祖父達味的那樣誠實。
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as the heart of David his father.
4 但是，上主他的天主，為了達味的緣故，仍使他在耶路撒冷，有一盞燈，立他的兒子接他的位，並保全耶路撒冷，
But for David's sake Jehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, setting up his son after him, and establishing Jerusalem;
5 因為達味除了赫特人烏黎雅那件事以外，常行了上主視為正義的事，一生歲月從未違背上主所吩咐他的一切。
because David did that which was right in the sight of Jehovah, and turned not aside from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Urijah the Hittite.
6 【勒哈貝罕與雅洛貝罕之間不斷發生戰事。】
And there had been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7 阿彼雅其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。阿彼雅與雅洛貝罕之間，常發生戰事。
And the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 阿彼雅與列祖同眠，葬在達味城；他的兒子阿撒繼位為王。阿撒為猶大王
And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 以色列王雅洛貝罕二十年，阿撒登極作猶大王，
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah;
10 在耶路撒冷作王四十一年；他的祖母名叫瑪阿加，是阿貝沙隆的外孫女。
and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Maachah, daughter of Abishalom.
11 阿撒行了上主視為正直的事，像他的祖父達味一樣。
And Asa did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, as David his father.
12 他將為神賣淫的男女由國內除掉，徹去了他祖先所立的一切偶像，
And he put away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his father had made.
13 並廢除了他祖母瑪阿加作太后的權位，因為她給阿舍辣立了可憎惡的柱像；阿撒把她所立的像砍倒，在克德龍谷焚毀。
And also Maachah his mother he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and burned it in the valley of Kidron.
14 只有丘壇沒有廢除；不過阿撒的心一生全屬上主。
But the high places were not removed; only, Asa's heart was perfect with Jehovah all his days.
15 阿撒將他父親所獻的，和他自己所獻的金銀和器皿，都送入上主的殿內。
And he brought into the house of Jehovah the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, silver and gold and vessels.
16 阿撒與以色列王巴厄沙之間不斷發生戰爭。
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
17 以色列王巴厄沙上來進攻猶大，並在辣瑪修築工事，防止人民同猶大王阿撒來往。
And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, in order to let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
18 那時，阿撒將上主殿內和王宮內寶庫中所剩餘的金銀取出，交給他的臣僕，打發他們去見住在大馬士革的阿蘭王，赫則雍的孫子，塔貝黎孟的兒子本哈達得說：「
And Asa took all the silver and the gold that were left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hand of his servants; and king Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt at Damascus, saying,
19 我與你之間，我父親與你父親之間都立過約；現在我給你送來金銀作為禮品，請你廢除你與以色列王巴厄沙所立的約，使他遠離我! 」
There is a league between me and thee, [as] between my father and thy father; behold, I send thee a present of silver and gold: go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
20 本哈達得聽了阿撒王的話，即刻派自己的軍長去攻打以色列的城市，攻下了依雍、丹、阿貝耳貝瑪阿加、基乃勒特全境和納裴塔里全境。
And Ben-Hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his forces against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Kinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 巴厄沙一聽說這事，就停止在辣瑪的工事，回到了提爾匝。
And it came to pass when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
22 於是阿撒王召集全猶大人民，一個也不例外，吩咐他們將巴厄沙修築辣瑪所用的石頭和木料運走；阿撒王用來修建本雅明的革巴和米茲帕。
And king Asa called together all Judah: none was exempted; and they carried away the stones and the timber from Ramah, with which Baasha had been building; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 阿撒其餘的事蹟，關於他的一切偉業和作為，並建造的城防，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。他年老時，患了足疾。
And the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 阿撒與列祖同眠，與列祖同葬在他祖父達味城內；他的兒子約沙法特繼位為王。納達布為以色列王
And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father. And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
25 猶大王阿撒二年，雅洛貝罕的兒子納達布登極作以色列王。他二年作以色列王，
And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 行了上主視為惡的事，走了他父親的路，犯了他父親使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel sin.
27 依撒加爾家族，阿希雅的兒子巴厄沙結黨背叛了他，在屬於培肋舍特人的基貝通將他殺死，那時納達布和全以色列人正在圍攻基貝通。
And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines, when Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
28 猶大王阿撒三年，巴厄沙殺了納達布，篡了他的王位。
And Baasha slew him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
29 他登極後，立即殺了亞洛貝罕全家；凡屬於雅洛貝罕家中的人，沒有留下一個，都殺絕了：這正應了上主藉他僕人使羅人阿希雅所說的話。
And it came to pass when he was king, he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left to Jeroboam none that breathed; until he had destroyed him, according to the word of Jehovah which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 這是因為亞洛貝罕自己犯的罪和他使以色列犯的罪，激怒了上主，以色列的天主。
because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and wherewith he made Israel to sin; by his provocation with which he provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger.
31 納達布其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
And the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 【阿撒與以色列王巴厄沙之間常發生戰事。】巴厄沙為以色列王
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 猶大王阿撒三年，阿希雅的兒子巴厄沙在提爾匝登極，作全以色列王，在位凡二十四年。
In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, for twenty-four years.
34 他行了上主視為惡的事，走了雅洛貝罕所走的路，犯了使以色列陷於罪惡的事。
And he did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin where with he made Israel to sin.
