列王紀上 16
1 耶和華的話臨到哈拿尼的兒子耶戶，責備巴沙說：
Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying:
2 「我既從塵埃中提拔你，立你作我民以色列的君，你竟行耶羅波安所行的道，使我民以色列陷在罪裏，惹我發怒，
“Even though I exalted you from the dust, and I set you as ruler over my people Israel, still you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and you have caused my people Israel to sin, so that you have provoked me by their sins.
3 我必除盡你和你的家，使你的家像尼八的兒子耶羅波安的家一樣。
Behold, I will cut down the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house. And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
4 凡屬巴沙的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鳥吃。」
Whoever will have died of Baasha in the city, the dogs will consume him. And whoever will have died of him in the countryside, the birds of the air will consume him.”
5 巴沙其餘的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力，都寫在以色列諸王記上。
Now the rest of the words of Baasha, and whatever he did, and his battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
6 巴沙與他列祖同睡，葬在得撒。他兒子以拉接續他作王。
Then Baasha slept with his fathers, and he was buried at Tirzah. And Elah, his son, reigned in his place.
7 耶和華的話臨到哈拿尼的兒子先知耶戶，責備巴沙和他的家，因他行耶和華眼中看為惡的一切事，以他手所做的惹耶和華發怒，像耶羅波安的家一樣，又因他殺了耶羅波安的全家。
And when the word of the Lord had arrived by the hand of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, and against his house, and against every evil that he had done before the Lord, so that he provoked him by the works of his hands, so that he became like the house of Jeroboam: for this reason, he killed him, that is, the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani.
8 猶大王亞撒二十六年，巴沙的兒子以拉在得撒登基作以色列王共二年。
In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, the king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, reigned over Israel, at Tirzah, for two years.
9 有管理他一半戰車的臣子心利背叛他。當他在得撒家宰亞雜家裏喝醉的時候，
And his servant Zimri, the commander of one half part of the horsemen, rebelled against him. Now Elah was drinking at Tirzah, and he became inebriated in the house of Arza, the prefect of Tirzah.
10 心利就進去殺了他，篡了他的位。這是猶大王亞撒二十七年的事。
Then Zimri, rushing in, struck him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned in his place.
11 心利一坐王位就殺了巴沙的全家，連他的親屬、朋友也沒有留下一個男丁。
And when he had reigned and had sat upon his throne, he struck down the entire house of Baasha. And he did not leave behind of them anything that urinates against a wall, among both close relatives and his friends.
12 心利這樣滅絕巴沙的全家，正如耶和華藉先知耶戶責備巴沙的話。
And so, Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken to Baasha, by the hand the prophet of Jehu,
13 這是因巴沙和他兒子以拉的一切罪，就是他們使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪，以虛無的神惹耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣。
because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah, his son, who sinned and caused Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities.
14 以拉其餘的事，凡他所行的，都寫在以色列諸王記上。
But the rest of the words of Elah, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
15 猶大王亞撒二十七年，心利在得撒作王七日。那時民正安營圍攻非利士的基比頓。
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah, Zimri reigned for seven days in Tirzah. For the army was besieging Gibbethon, a city of the Philistines.
16 民在營中聽說心利背叛，又殺了王，故此以色列眾人當日在營中立元帥暗利作以色列王。
And when they had heard that Zimri had rebelled, and that he had killed the king, all of Israel made Omri as a king for themselves; he was the leader of the military over Israel in the encampment in that day.
17 暗利率領以色列眾人，從基比頓上去，圍困得撒。
Therefore, Omri ascended, and all of Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.
18 心利見城破失，就進了王宮的衛所，放火焚燒宮殿，自焚而死。
Then Zimri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, entered the palace, and he set fire to himself along with the royal house. And he died
19 這是因他犯罪，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，行耶羅波安所行的，犯他使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪。
in his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, by which he caused Israel to sin.
20 心利其餘的事和他背叛的情形都寫在以色列諸王記上。
But the rest of the words of Zimri, and of his treachery and tyranny, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
21 那時，以色列民分為兩半：一半隨從基納的兒子提比尼，要立他作王；一半隨從暗利。
Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: one half part of the people followed Tibni, the son of Ginath, having appointed him as king, and one half part followed Omri.
22 但隨從暗利的民勝過隨從基納的兒子提比尼的民。提比尼死了，暗利就作了王。
But the people who were with Omri prevailed over the people who were following Tibni, the son of Ginath. And Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
23 猶大王亞撒三十一年，暗利登基作以色列王共十二年；在得撒作王六年。
In the thirty-first year of Asa, the king of Judah, Omri reigned over Israel for twelve years; he reigned for six years at Tirzah.
24 暗利用二他連得銀子向撒瑪買了撒馬利亞山，在山上造城，就按着山的原主撒瑪的名，給所造的城起名叫撒馬利亞。
And he bought the mount of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. And he built upon it, and he called the name of the city that he had built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the mount.
25 暗利行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，比他以前的列王作惡更甚。
But Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and he wrought wickedness, beyond all who had been before him.
26 因他行了尼八的兒子耶羅波安所行的，犯他使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪，以虛無的神惹耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣。
And he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and in his sins, by which he had caused Israel to sin, so that he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, by their vanities.
27 暗利其餘的事和他所顯出的勇力都寫在以色列諸王記上。
Now the rest of the words of Omri, and his battles that he carried out, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
28 暗利與他列祖同睡，葬在撒馬利亞。他兒子亞哈接續他作王。
And Omri slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria. And Ahab, his son, reigned in his place.
29 猶大王亞撒三十八年，暗利的兒子亞哈登基作了以色列王。暗利的兒子亞哈在撒馬利亞作以色列王二十二年。
Truly, Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa, the king of Judah. And Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel at Samaria for twenty-two years.
30 暗利的兒子亞哈行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，比他以前的列王更甚，
And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond all who had been before him.
31 犯了尼八的兒子耶羅波安所犯的罪；他還以為輕，又娶了西頓王謁巴力的女兒耶洗別為妻，去事奉敬拜巴力，
And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. In addition, he took as a wife Jezebel, the daughter of Eth-baal, the king of the Sidonians. And he went astray, and he served Baal, and adored him.
32 在撒馬利亞建造巴力的廟，在廟裏為巴力築壇。
And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built at Samaria.
33 亞哈又做亞舍拉，他所行的惹耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣，比他以前的以色列諸王更甚。
And he planted a sacred grove. And Ahab added to his works, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, beyond all the kings of Israel who had been before him.
34 亞哈在位的時候，有伯特利人希伊勒重修耶利哥城；立根基的時候，喪了長子亞比蘭；安門的時候，喪了幼子西割，正如耶和華藉嫩的兒子約書亞所說的話。
In his days, Hiel from Bethel built up Jericho. With Abiram, his firstborn, he founded it, and with Segub, his youngest son, he set up its gates, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Joshua, the son of Nun.
