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，
Then, in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam reigned over 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。
He reigned for three years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the 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 he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him. Neither was his heart perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father.
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。
But for the sake of David, the Lord his God gave to him a lamp in Jerusalem, so that he might raise up his son after him, and so that he might establish Jerusalem.
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 he had not declined from all of the things that he had instructed to him, during all the days of his life, except the matter of Uriah, the Hittite.
6 罗波安在 世的日子常与耶罗波安争战。
Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam during the entire time of his 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。
And the rest of the words of Abijam, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? And there was fighting 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 slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David. And Asa, his son, reigned in his place.
9 以色列王耶罗波安二十年，亚撒登基作犹大王，
Then, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, the king of Israel, Asa reigned as 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 for forty-one years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Maacah, the 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 before the sight of the Lord, just as his father David did.
12 从国中除去娈童，又除掉他列祖所造的一切偶像；
And he took away the effeminate from the land. And he purged all the filth of the idols, which 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，
Moreover, he also removed his mother, Maacah, from being the leader in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in his sacred grove which she had consecrated. And he destroyed his grotto. And he shattered the very indecent idol, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.
14 只是邱坛还没有废去。亚撒一生却向耶和华存诚实的心。
But the high places, he did not take away. Yet truly, the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord during 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 the things that his father had sanctified and vowed back to the house of the Lord: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels.
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, the king of Israel, during all 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。
And Baasha, the king of Israel, ascended against Judah. And he built up Ramah, so that no one would be able to exit or enter from the side of Asa, the 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，
And so, Asa took all the silver and the gold which had remained in the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and he gave it into the hands of his servants. And he sent them to Benhadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Syria, who was living in Damascus, saying:
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。”
“There is a pact between me and you, and between my father and your father. For this reason, I have sent to you gifts of silver and of gold. And I ask you to go and break your pact with Baasha, the king of Israel, so that he may 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。
Benhadad, acquiescing to king Asa, sent the leaders of his army against the cities of Israel. And they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel, the house of Maacah, and all of Chinneroth, that is, all the land of Naphtali.
21 巴沙听见，就停工不修筑拉玛了，仍住在得撒。
And when Baasha had heard this, he ceased from fortifying Ramah, and he returned 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 sent an announcement to all of Judah, saying, “Let no one be excused.” And they took away the stones from Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had fortified it. And from these things, king Asa built up Geba of Benjamin and 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 all the rest of the words of Asa, and his entire strength, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah? Yet truly, in the time of his old age, he was afflicted 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 he slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoshaphat, his son, 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，
Yet truly, Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for 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 what is evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of his father and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.
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, the son of Ahijah, from the house of Issachar, set an ambush against him, and he struck him down at Gibbethon, which is a city of the Philistines. For indeed, Nadab and all of Israel were laying siege to Gibbethon.
28 在犹大王亚撒第三年巴沙杀了他，篡了他的位。
And so Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa, the king of Judah, and he 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。
And when he had reigned, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam. He did not leave behind even one soul from his offspring, until he had wiped him away, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of 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 sin of Jeroboam, which he had committed, and by which he had caused Israel to sin, and because of the offense by which he had provoked the Lord, the God of Israel.
31 拿答其余的事，凡他所行的，都写在以色列诸王记上。
But the rest of the words of Nadab, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days 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, the king of Israel, during all 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, the king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, reigned over all of Israel, at Tirzah, for 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 he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, by which he caused Israel to sin.
