1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.
尼八的兒子耶羅波安王十八年，亞比央登基作猶大王，
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。他母親名叫瑪迦，是押沙龍的女兒。
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.
亞比央行他父親在他以前所行的一切惡，他的心不像他祖大衛的心，誠誠實實地順服耶和華－他的上帝。
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;
然而耶和華－他的上帝因大衛的緣故，仍使他在耶路撒冷有燈光，叫他兒子接續他作王，堅立耶路撒冷。
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.
因為大衛除了赫人烏利亞那件事，都是行耶和華眼中看為正的事，一生沒有違背耶和華一切所吩咐的。
羅波安在世的日子常與耶羅波安爭戰。
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.
亞比央其餘的事，凡他所行的，都寫在猶大列王記上。亞比央常與耶羅波安爭戰。
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.
亞比央與他列祖同睡，葬在大衛的城裏。他兒子亞撒接續他作王。
9 In the twentieth year that Jeroboam was king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.
以色列王耶羅波安二十年，亞撒登基作猶大王，
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。他祖母名叫瑪迦，是押沙龍的女兒。
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father did.
亞撒效法他祖大衛行耶和華眼中看為正的事，
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.
從國中除去孌童，又除掉他列祖所造的一切偶像；
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.
並且貶了他祖母瑪迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亞舍拉。亞撒砍下她的偶像，燒在汲淪溪邊，
14 The high places, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.
只是邱壇還沒有廢去。亞撒一生卻向耶和華存誠實的心。
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.
亞撒將他父親所分別為聖與自己所分別為聖的金銀和器皿都奉到耶和華的殿裏。
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
亞撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常爭戰。
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.
以色列王巴沙上來要攻擊猶大，修築拉瑪，不許人從猶大王亞撒那裏出入。
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,
於是亞撒將耶和華殿和王宮府庫裏所剩下的金銀都交在他臣僕手中，打發他們往住大馬士革的亞蘭王－希旬的孫子、他伯利們的兒子便‧哈達那裏去，
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.
說：「你父曾與我父立約，我與你也要立約。現在我將金銀送你為禮物，求你廢掉你與以色列王巴沙所立的約，使他離開我。」
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.
便‧哈達聽從亞撒王的話，派軍長去攻擊以色列的城邑；他們就攻破以雲、但、亞伯‧伯‧瑪迦、基尼烈全境、拿弗他利全境。
21 And Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and was living in Tirzah.
巴沙聽見，就停工不修築拉瑪了，仍住在得撒。
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.
於是亞撒王宣告猶大眾人，不准一個推辭，吩咐他們將巴沙修築拉瑪所用的石頭、木頭都運去，用以修築便雅憫的迦巴和米斯巴。
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.
亞撒其餘的事，凡他所行的，並他的勇力與他所建築的城邑，都寫在猶大列王記上。亞撒年老的時候，腳上有病。
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.
亞撒與他列祖同睡，葬在他祖大衛城他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子約沙法接續他作王。
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.
猶大王亞撒第二年，耶羅波安的兒子拿答登基作以色列王共二年，
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.
拿答行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，行他父親所行的，犯他父親使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪。
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.
以薩迦人亞希雅的兒子巴沙背叛拿答，在非利士的基比頓殺了他。那時拿答和以色列眾人正圍困基比頓。
28 In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha put him to death, and became king in his place.
在猶大王亞撒第三年巴沙殺了他，篡了他的位。
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;
巴沙一作王就殺了耶羅波安的全家，凡有氣息的沒有留下一個，都滅盡了，正應驗耶和華藉他僕人示羅人亞希雅所說的話。
30 Because of the sins which Jeroboam did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath.
這是因為耶羅波安所犯的罪使以色列人陷在罪裏，惹動耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣。
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?
拿答其餘的事，凡他所行的，都寫在以色列諸王記上。
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
亞撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常爭戰。
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.
猶大王亞撒第三年，亞希雅的兒子巴沙在得撒登基作以色列眾人的王共二十四年。
34 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of Jeroboam and the sin which he made Israel do.
他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，行耶羅波安所行的道，犯他使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪。
