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 this message from the Lord came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, condemning Baasha.
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 lifted you out of the dust to make you ruler over my people Israel, you have followed the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel sin, making me angry 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。
Now I'm going to destroy Baasha and his family. Baasha, I will make your family like that of Jeroboam, 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。」
Those of Baasha's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
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。
The rest of the events of Baasha's reign, everything that he did and what he accomplished, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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。
Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah succeeded him as king.
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。
The message from the Lord condemning Baasha and his family came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani. It came because Baasha had done what was evil in the Lord's sight, in the same way as the family of Jeroboam had done, and also because Baasha had killed Jeroboam's family. The Lord was angry because of Baasha's sins.
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。
Elah, son of Baasha, became king of Israel in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in 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，
One of Elah's officials called Zimri who was in charge of half his chariots plotted a rebellion against him. One time Elah was in Tirzah, getting himself drunk at the home of Arza, the palace manager at 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。
Zimri went up to him, attacked him, and killed him. This was in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Asa, king of Judah. Then he took over from him as king.
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。
As soon as he became king and was installed on his throne, he killed all of Baasha's family. He did not leave a single male alive, whether of his relatives or of 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。
So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, as the Lord had said in his condemnation of Baasha through Jehu the prophet.
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。
This was because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had made Israel to commit. Their worship of their useless idols had angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 以拉其餘的事，凡他所行的，都寫在以色列諸王記上。
The rest of what happened in Elah's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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。
Zimri became king of Israel in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah seven days. At that time the Israelite army was attacking the Philistine town of Gibbethon.
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。
When the troops who were camped there learned that Zimri had plotted rebellion against the king and had murdered him, they made Omri, the army commander, king of Israel that same day in the army camp.
17 暗利率領以色列眾人，從基比頓上去，圍困得撒。
Omri and the whole Israelite army left Gibbethon and went and 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。
When Zimri saw that the city had been taken he went into the fortress of the royal palace and set it on fire around him, and he died, because of the sins he had committed.
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。
He did evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin which he had made Israel commit.
20 心利其餘的事和他背叛的情形都寫在以色列諸王記上。
The rest of what happened in Zimri's reign and his rebellion are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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。
After this the people of Israel were divided. Half supported Tibni, son of Ginath, as king, while the other half supported 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。
However, those on Omri's side defeated Tibni's supporters. Tibni was killed and Omri became king.
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。
Omri became king of Israel in the thirty-first year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned for a total of twelve years, (six of them were in 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。
He purchased the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He fortified the hill, and named the city that he built Samaria, after Shemer, the previous owner of the hill.
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。
Omri did what was evil in the Lord's sight—in fact he did more evil than those who lived 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。
For he followed all the ways of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and in his sins which he made Israel commit, worshiping their useless idols which angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
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。
The rest of what happened in Omri's reign, what he did, and his achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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。
Omri died and was buried in Samaria. His son Ahab succeeded him as king.
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。
Ahab, son of Omri, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in 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，
Ahab, son of Omri, did evil in the Lord's sight, more than those who lived 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，
He didn't see anything to worry about in following the sins of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and he even married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians, and started to serve and worship Baal.
32 在撒馬利亞建造巴力的廟，在廟裏為巴力築壇。
Ahab made an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in 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。
Then he put up an Asherah pole. In this way Ahab did more to anger the Lord, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel 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。
During Ahab's reign Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He sacrificed Abiram his firstborn son when he laid its foundation, and sacrificed Segub his youngest son when he constructed its gates. This fulfilled the message the Lord had given through Joshua, son of Nun.
