列王纪上 15
1 尼八的儿子耶罗波安王十八年，亚比央登基作犹大王，
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,
2 在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母亲名叫玛迦，是押沙龙的女儿。
and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
3 亚比央行他父亲在他以前所行的一切恶，他的心不像他祖大卫的心，诚诚实实地顺服耶和华—他的 神。
And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.
4 然而耶和华—他的 神因大卫的缘故，仍使他在耶路撒冷有灯光，叫他儿子接续他作王，坚立耶路撒冷。
Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.
5 因为大卫除 了赫人乌利亚那件事，都是行耶和 华眼中看为正的事，一生没有违背 耶和华一切所吩咐的。
For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 罗波安在 世的日子常与耶罗波安争战。
And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.
7 亚 比央其余的事，凡他所行的，都写在犹大列王记上。亚比央常与耶罗波安争战。
As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 亚比央与他列祖同睡， 葬在大卫的城里。他儿子亚撒接续他作王。
And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.
9 以色列王耶罗波安二十年，亚撒登基作犹大王，
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
10 在耶路撒冷作王四十一年。他祖母名叫玛迦，是押沙龙的女儿。
and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
11 亚撒效法他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事，
And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
12 从国中除去娈童，又除掉他列祖所造的一切偶像；
He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 并且贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉。亚撒砍下她的偶像，烧在汲沦溪边，
He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14 只是邱坛还没有废去。亚撒一生却向耶和华存诚实的心。
The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.
15 亚撒将他父亲所分别为圣与自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿都奉到耶和华的殿里。
And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.
16 亚撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常争战。
Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
17 以色列王巴沙上来要攻击犹大，修筑拉玛，不许人从犹大王亚撒那里出入。
Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
18 于是亚撒将耶和华殿和王宫府库里所剩下的金银都交在他臣仆手中，打发他们往住大马士革的亚兰王—希旬的孙子、他伯利们的儿子便·哈达那里去，
So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
19 说：“你父曾与我父立约，我与你也要立约。现在我将金银送你为礼物，求你废掉你与以色列王巴沙所立的约，使他离开我。”
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
20 便·哈达听从亚撒王的话，派军长去攻击以色列的城邑；他们就攻破以云、但、亚伯·伯·玛迦、基尼烈全境、拿弗他利全境。
And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.
21 巴沙听见，就停工不修筑拉玛了，仍住在得撒。
When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.
22 于是亚撒王宣告犹大众人，不准一个推辞，吩咐他们将巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头、木头都运去，用以修筑便雅悯的迦巴和米斯巴。
Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
23 亚撒其余的事，凡他所行的，并他的勇力与他所建筑的城邑，都写在犹大列王记上。亚撒年老的时候，脚上有病。
Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.
24 亚撒与他列祖同睡，葬在他祖大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子约沙法接续他作王。
And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.
25 犹大王亚撒第二年，耶罗波安的儿子拿答登基作以色列王共二年，
In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.
26 拿答行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，行他父亲所行的，犯他父亲使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪。
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
27 以萨迦人亚希雅的儿子巴沙背叛拿答，在非利士的基比顿杀了他。那时拿答和以色列众人正围困基比顿。
Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.
28 在犹大王亚撒第三年巴沙杀了他，篡了他的位。
In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.
29 巴沙一作王就杀了耶罗波安的全家，凡有气息的没有留下一个，都灭尽了，正应验耶和华借他仆人示罗人亚希雅所说的话。
As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 这是因为耶罗波安所犯的罪使以色列人陷在罪里，惹动耶和华—以色列 神的怒气。
because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
31 拿答其余的事，凡他所行的，都写在以色列诸王记上。
As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
32 亚撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常争战。
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
33 犹大王亚撒第三年，亚希雅的儿子巴沙在得撒登基作以色列众人的王共二十四年。
In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.
34 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，行耶罗波安所行的道，犯他使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪。
And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
