Kings III 15
1 And in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nabat, Abiu son of Roboam reigns over Juda.
[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 And he reigned three years over Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Maacha, daughter of Abessalom.
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 walked in the sins of his father which he wrought in his presence, and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as [was] the heart of his father [David].
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 Howbeit for David's sake the Lord gave him a remnant, that he might establish his children after him, and might establish Jerusalem.
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 Forasmuch as David did that which was right in the sight of the Lord: he turned not from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life.
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 And the rest of the history of Abiu, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiu 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 And Abiu slept with his fathers in the twenty-fourth year of Jeroboam; and he is buried with his fathers in the city of David: And Asa his son reigns in his stead.
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 four and twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa begins to reign over Juda.
以色列王雅洛貝罕二十年，阿撒登極作猶大王，
10 And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Ana, daughter of Abessalom.
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 And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as David his father.
阿撒行了上主視為正直的事，像他的祖父達味一樣。
12 And he removed the sodomites out of the land, and abolished all the practices which his fathers had kept up.
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 removed Ana his mother from being queen, forasmuch as she gathered a meeting in her grove: and Asa cut down her retreats, and burnt them with fire in the brook of Kedron.
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 But he removed not the high places; nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days.
只有丘壇沒有廢除；不過阿撒的心一生全屬上主。
15 And he brought in the pillars of his father, he even brought in his gold and silver pillars into the house of the Lord, and [his] 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 And there was war between Asa and Baasa 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 Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so that no one should go out or come in for Asa king of Juda.
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 And Asa took all the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, and gave them into the hands of his servants; and king Asa sent them out to the son of Ader, the son of Taberema son of Azin king of Syria, who lived in 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 Make a covenant between me and you, and between my father and your father: behold! I have sent forth to you gold and silver [for] gifts: come, break your league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may go up from 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 And the son of Ader listened to king Asa, and sent the chiefs of his forces to the cities of Israel; and they struck Ain, Dan, and Abel of the house of Maacha, and all Chennereth, as far as the whole land of Nephthali.
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 it came to pass when Baasa heard it, that he left off building Rama, and returned to Thersa.
巴厄沙一聽說這事，就停止在辣瑪的工事，回到了提爾匝。
22 And king Asa charged all Juda without exception: and they take up the stones of Rama and its timbers [with] which Baasa was building; and king Asa built with them upon the whole hill of Benjamin, and the watch-tower.
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 And the rest of the history of Asa, and all his mighty deeds which he wrought, and the cities which he built, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his 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 And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Josaphat his son reigns in his stead.
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 And Nabat son of Jeroboam reigns over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Juda, and he reigned two years in Israel.
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 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sins wherein he caused Israel to sin.
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 Baasa son of Achia, [who was] over the house of Belaan son of Achia, conspired against him, and struck him in Gabathon of the Philistines; for Nabat and all Israel were besieging Gabathon.
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 And Baasa killed him in the third year of Asa son of Asa king of Juda; and reigned in his stead.
猶大王阿撒三年，巴厄沙殺了納達布，篡了他的王位。
29 And it came to pass when he reigned, that he struck the whole house of Jeroboam, and left none that breathed of Jeroboam, until he has destroyed him utterly, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke by his servant Achia the Selonite,
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 for the sins of Jeroboam, who led Israel into sin, even by his provocation wherewith he provoked the Lord God of Israel.
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 And the rest of the history of Nabat, and all that he did, behold, are not these written in the book of the chronicles 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 a war between Asa and Baasa king of Israel in 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 And in the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Achia begins to reign over Israel in Thersa, twenty and 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 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and in his sins, as he caused Israel to sin.
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。
