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：
The LORD’s word 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，
“Because I exalted you out of the dust and made you prince over my people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with 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 utterly sweep away Baasha and 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。」
The dogs will eat Baasha’s descendants who die in the city; and he who dies of his in the field, the birds of the sky will eat.”
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 acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the 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 slept with his fathers, and was buried in 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。
Moreover the LORD’s word came by the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha and against his house, both because of all the evil that he did in the LORD’s sight, to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck him.
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 king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha began to reign over Israel 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，
His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household in 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。
and Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and 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。
When he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, he attacked all the house of Baasha. He didn’t leave him a single one who urinates on a wall among his relatives or 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。
Thus Zimri destroyed all the house of Baasha, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke against Baasha by 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。
for all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they sinned and with which they made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger 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。
Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the 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。
In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri reigned seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to 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。
The people who were encamped heard that Zimri had conspired, and had also killed the king. Therefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.
17 暗利率領以色列眾人，從基比頓上去，圍困得撒。
Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, 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。
When Zimri saw that the city was taken, he went into the fortified part of the king’s house and burned the king’s house over him with fire, and 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。
for his sins which he sinned in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did to make 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。
Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he committed, aren’t they written in the book of the 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。
Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half 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 followed Omri prevailed against the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath; so 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 king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years 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 bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and dealt wickedly above all who were 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 walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sins with which he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with 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 acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he showed, aren’t they written in the book of the 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。
So Omri slept with his fathers, and 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。
In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria 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 the son of Omri did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight above all that were 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，
As if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, he took as wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went and served Baal and worshiped him.
32 在撒馬利亞建造巴力的廟，在廟裏為巴力築壇。
He raised up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which 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。
Ahab made the Asherah; and Ahab did more yet to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who were 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 the Bethelite built Jericho. He laid its foundation with the loss of Abiram his firstborn, and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son Segub, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by Joshua the son of Nun.
