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，
Abijam became king of Judah in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
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 in Jerusalem for 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。
Abijam committed all the sins his father had before him. He was not wholly dedicated to the Lord his God as his forefather David 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。
Even so, for David's sake, the Lord his God let his descendants to continue to rule like a lamp, a son to rule after 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 Lord's sight, and had not deviated from anything the Lord commanded throughout his lifetime, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
6 罗波安在 世的日子常与耶罗波安争战。
(Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.)
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。
The rest of what happened in Abijam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. Abijam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
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。
Abijam died and was buried the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king.
9 以色列王耶罗波安二十年，亚撒登基作犹大王，
Asa became king of Judah in the twentieth year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
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。
He reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother's name was Maakah, daughter of Abishalom.
11 亚撒效法他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事，
Asa did what was right in the Lord's sight, as his forefather 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 expelled the cult prostitutes from the land and got rid of all of the idols that his forefathers 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 even dismissed his grandmother Maacah as queen mother, because she had made a disgusting idol. Asa had the idol chopped down and burned 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。
Though the high places were not removed, Asa was completely committed to the Lord all his life.
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。
He brought into the house of the Lord the silver and gold and the other items 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。
Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
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, attacked Judah and fortified Ramah to stop people coming from or going to 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 took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and of the royal palace. He handed it over to his servants and sent them to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, along with this message:
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 us make a treaty between us, just as there was between my father and your father. Look, I've sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go and break your treaty with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will retreat and leave me alone.”
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。
Ben-hadad accepted Asa's proposal and sent his army with its commanders to attack the towns of Israel. They captured the towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Kinnereth, including all the land of Naphtali.
21 巴沙听见，就停工不修筑拉玛了，仍住在得撒。
When Baasha heard about this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and retreated 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 issued a proclamation throughout all Judah, with no exception. The people obeyed, and carried away the stones and the timbers Baasha had used for building up Ramah. King Asa used these building materials to strengthen 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。
The rest of what happened in Asa's reign, all his achievements, everything that he did, and the towns he built, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. But when he grew old he had disease 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。
Asa died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king.
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，
Nadab, son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in 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。
He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He followed the ways of his father and committed the same sins his father had made Israel 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。
Baasha, son of Ahijah of the tribe of Issachar, plotted a rebellion against him. Baasha murdered Nadab at the Philistine town of Gibbethon while Nadab and the whole Israelite army were besieging it.
28 在犹大王亚撒第三年巴沙杀了他，篡了他的位。
Baasha killed Nadab and took over as king in the third year of the reign of King Asa of Judah.
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 he became king he killed all the rest of Jeroboam's family. He did not leave any of Jeroboam's descendants alive—he destroyed them all, as the Lord had said 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。
This happened because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had made Israel commit, and because he had made the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.
31 拿答其余的事，凡他所行的，都写在以色列诸王记上。
The rest of what happened in Nadab's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of 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。
Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
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。
Baasha, son of Ahijah, became king over all of Israel in the third year of the reign of King Asa in Judah. Baasha reigned in 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。
Baasha did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin, which he had made Israel commit.
