1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.
[阿彼雅為猶大王]乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕王十八年，阿彼雅登極作猶大王，
2 For three years he was king in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
在耶路撒冷作王三年；他母親名叫瑪阿加，是阿貝沙隆的外孫女。
3 And he did the same sins which his father had done before him: his heart was not completely true to the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.
阿彼雅作了他父親在他以前所行的一切邪惡；他的心對上主他的天主，不像他祖父達味的那樣誠實。
4 But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;
但是，上主他的天主，為了達味的緣故，仍使他在耶路撒冷，有一盞燈，立他的兒子接他的位，並保全耶路撒冷，
5 Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and never in all his life went against his orders, but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite.
因為達味除了赫特人烏黎雅那件事以外，常行了上主視為正義的事，一生歲月從未違背上主所吩咐他的一切。
【勒哈貝罕與雅洛貝罕之間不斷發生戰事。】
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
阿彼雅其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。阿彼雅與雅洛貝罕之間，常發生戰事。
8 Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David: and Asa his son became king in his place.
阿彼雅與列祖同眠，葬在達味城；他的兒子阿撒繼位為王。阿撒為猶大王
9 In the twentieth year that Jeroboam was king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.
以色列王雅洛貝罕二十年，阿撒登極作猶大王，
10 And he was king for forty-one years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
在耶路撒冷作王四十一年；他的祖母名叫瑪阿加，是阿貝沙隆的外孫女。
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father did.
阿撒行了上主視為正直的事，像他的祖父達味一樣。
12 Those used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods he sent out of the country, and he took away all the images which his fathers had made.
他將為神賣淫的男女由國內除掉，徹去了他祖先所立的一切偶像，
13 And he would not let Maacah his mother be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had the image cut down and burned by the stream Kidron.
並廢除了他祖母瑪阿加作太后的權位，因為她給阿舍辣立了可憎惡的柱像；阿撒把她所立的像砍倒，在克德龍谷焚毀。
14 The high places, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.
只有丘壇沒有廢除；不過阿撒的心一生全屬上主。
15 He took into the house of the Lord all the things which his father had made holy, and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.
阿撒將他父親所獻的，和他自己所獻的金銀和器皿，都送入上主的殿內。
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
阿撒與以色列王巴厄沙之間不斷發生戰爭。
17 And Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah, so that no one was able to go out or in to Asa, king of Judah.
以色列王巴厄沙上來進攻猶大，並在辣瑪修築工事，防止人民同猶大王阿撒來往。
18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,
那時，阿撒將上主殿內和王宮內寶庫中所剩餘的金銀取出，交給他的臣僕，打發他們去見住在大馬士革的阿蘭王，赫則雍的孫子，塔貝黎孟的兒子本哈達得說：「
19 Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.
我與你之間，我父親與你父親之間都立過約；現在我給你送來金銀作為禮品，請你廢除你與以色列王巴厄沙所立的約，使他遠離我! 」
20 So Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth as far as all the land of Naphtali.
本哈達得聽了阿撒王的話，即刻派自己的軍長去攻打以色列的城市，攻下了依雍、丹、阿貝耳貝瑪阿加、基乃勒特全境和納裴塔里全境。
21 And Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and was living in Tirzah.
巴厄沙一聽說這事，就停止在辣瑪的工事，回到了提爾匝。
22 Then King Asa got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
於是阿撒王召集全猶大人民，一個也不例外，吩咐他們將巴厄沙修築辣瑪所用的石頭和木料運走；阿撒王用來修建本雅明的革巴和米茲帕。
23 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, and his power, and all he did, and the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? But when he was old he had a disease of the feet.
阿撒其餘的事蹟，關於他的一切偉業和作為，並建造的城防，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。他年老時，患了足疾。
24 So Asa went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.
阿撒與列祖同眠，與列祖同葬在他祖父達味城內；他的兒子約沙法特繼位為王。納達布為以色列王
25 Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, became king over Israel in the second year that Asa was king of Judah; and he was king of Israel for two years.
猶大王阿撒二年，雅洛貝罕的兒子納達布登極作以色列王。他二年作以色列王，
26 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of his father, and the sin which he did and made Israel do.
行了上主視為惡的事，走了他父親的路，犯了他父親使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
27 And Baasha, the son of Ahijah, of the family of Issachar, made a secret design against him, attacking him at Gibbethon, a town of the Philistines; for Nadab and the armies of Israel were making war on Gibbethon.
依撒加爾家族，阿希雅的兒子巴厄沙結黨背叛了他，在屬於培肋舍特人的基貝通將他殺死，那時納達布和全以色列人正在圍攻基貝通。
28 In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha put him to death, and became king in his place.
猶大王阿撒三年，巴厄沙殺了納達布，篡了他的王位。
29 And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;
他登極後，立即殺了亞洛貝罕全家；凡屬於雅洛貝罕家中的人，沒有留下一個，都殺絕了：這正應了上主藉他僕人使羅人阿希雅所說的話。
30 Because of the sins which Jeroboam did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath.
這是因為亞洛貝罕自己犯的罪和他使以色列犯的罪，激怒了上主，以色列的天主。
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
納達布其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
【阿撒與以色列王巴厄沙之間常發生戰事。】巴厄沙為以色列王
33 In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for twenty-four years.
猶大王阿撒三年，阿希雅的兒子巴厄沙在提爾匝登極，作全以色列王，在位凡二十四年。
34 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of Jeroboam and the sin which he made Israel do.
他行了上主視為惡的事，走了雅洛貝罕所走的路，犯了使以色列陷於罪惡的事。
