1 Kings 21
1 Some time later, Naboth the Jezreelite happened to own a vineyard in Jezreel next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
这事以后，又有一事。耶斯列人拿伯在耶斯列有一个葡萄园，靠近撒马利亚王亚哈的宫。
2 So Ahab said to Naboth, “Give me your vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better vineyard in its place—or if you prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”
亚哈对拿伯说：“你将你的葡萄园给我作菜园，因为是靠近我的宫；我就把更好的葡萄园换给你，或是你要银子，我就按着价值给你。”
3 But Naboth replied, “The LORD forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.”
拿伯对亚哈说：“我敬畏耶和华，万不敢将我先人留下的产业给你。”
4 So Ahab went to his palace, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had told him, “I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.” He lay down on his bed, turned his face away, and refused to eat.
亚哈因耶斯列人拿伯说“我不敢将我先人留下的产业给你”，就闷闷不乐地回宫，躺在床上，转脸向内，也不吃饭。
5 Soon his wife Jezebel came in and asked, “Why are you so sullen that you refuse to eat?”
王后耶洗别来问他说：“你为什么心里这样忧闷，不吃饭呢？”
6 Ahab answered, “Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and told him, ‘Give me your vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you another vineyard in its place.’ And he replied, ‘I will not give you my vineyard!’”
他回答说：“因我向耶斯列人拿伯说：‘你将你的葡萄园给我，我给你价银，或是你愿意，我就把别的葡萄园换给你’；他却说：‘我不将我的葡萄园给你。’”
7 But his wife Jezebel said to him, “Do you not reign over Israel? Get up, eat some food, and be cheerful, for I will get you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.”
王后耶洗别对亚哈说：“你现在是治理以色列国不是？只管起来，心里畅畅快快地吃饭，我必将耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园给你。”
8 Then Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles who lived with Naboth in his city.
于是托亚哈的名写信，用王的印印上，送给那些与拿伯同城居住的长老贵胄。
9 In the letters she wrote: “Proclaim a fast and give Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
信上写着说：“你们当宣告禁食，叫拿伯坐在民间的高位上，
10 But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify, ‘You have cursed both God and the king!’ Then take him out and stone him to death.”
又叫两个匪徒坐在拿伯对面，作见证告他说：‘你谤渎 神和王了’；随后就把他拉出去用石头打死。”
11 So the elders and nobles who lived in Naboth’s city did as Jezebel had instructed in the letters she had written to them.
那些与拿伯同城居住的长老贵胄得了耶洗别的信，就照信而行，
12 They proclaimed a fast and gave Naboth a seat of honor among the people.
宣告禁食，叫拿伯坐在民间的高位上。
13 And the two scoundrels came in and sat opposite Naboth, and these men testified against him before the people, saying, “Naboth has cursed both God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death.
有两个匪徒来，坐在拿伯的对面，当着众民作见证告他说：“拿伯谤渎 神和王了！”众人就把他拉到城外，用石头打死。
14 Then they sent word to Jezebel: “Naboth has been stoned to death.”
于是打发人去见耶洗别，说：“拿伯被石头打死了。”
15 When Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned to death, she said to Ahab, “Get up and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, who refused to give it to you for silver. For Naboth is no longer alive, but dead.”
耶洗别听见拿伯被石头打死，就对亚哈说：“你起来得耶斯列人拿伯不肯为价银给你的葡萄园吧！现在他已经死了。”
16 And when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, he got up and went down to take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
亚哈听见拿伯死了，就起来，下去要得耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园。
17 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说：
18 “Get up and go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria. See, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, of which he has gone to take possession.
“你起来，去见住撒马利亚的以色列王亚哈，他下去要得拿伯的葡萄园，现今正在那园里。
19 Tell him that this is what the LORD says: ‘Have you not murdered a man and seized his land?’ Then tell him that this is also what the LORD says: ‘In the place where the dogs licked up the blood of Naboth, there also the dogs will lick up your blood—yes, yours!’”
你要对他说：‘耶和华如此说：你杀了人，又得他的产业吗？’又要对他说：‘耶和华如此说：狗在何处舔拿伯的血，也必在何处舔你的血。’”
20 When Elijah arrived, Ahab said to him, “So you have found me out, my enemy.” He replied, “I have found you out because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.
亚哈对以利亚说：“我仇敌啊，你找到我吗？”他回答说：“我找到你了；因为你卖了自己，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。
21 This is what the LORD says: ‘I will bring calamity on you and consume your descendants; I will cut off from Ahab every male in Israel, both slave and free.
耶和华说：‘我必使灾祸临到你，将你除尽。凡属你的男丁，无论困住的、自由的，都从以色列中剪除。
22 I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat and like that of Baasha son of Ahijah, because you have provoked My anger and caused Israel to sin.’
我必使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家，又像亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家；因为你惹我发怒，又使以色列人陷在罪里。’
23 And the LORD also speaks concerning Jezebel: ‘The dogs will devour Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.’
论到耶洗别，耶和华也说：‘狗在耶斯列的外郭必吃耶洗别的肉。
24 Anyone belonging to Ahab who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”
凡属亚哈的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。’” （
25 (Surely there was never one like Ahab, who sold himself to do evil in the sight of the LORD, incited by his wife Jezebel.
从来没有像亚哈的，因他自卖，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，受了王后耶洗别的耸动；
26 He committed the most detestable acts by going after idols, just like the Amorites whom the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.)
就照耶和华在以色列人面前所赶出的亚摩利人，行了最可憎恶的事，信从偶像。）
27 When Ahab heard these words, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and fasted. He lay down in sackcloth and walked around meekly.
亚哈听见这话，就撕裂衣服，禁食，身穿麻布，睡卧也穿着麻布，并且缓缓而行。
28 Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying:
耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说：
29 “Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity during his days, but I will bring it upon his house in the days of his son.”
“亚哈在我面前这样自卑，你看见了吗？因他在我面前自卑，他还在世的时候，我不降这祸；到他儿子的时候，我必降这祸与他的家。”
