1 Kings 11
1 But king Solomon loved many foreign women, including the daughter of Pharaoh, and women of Moab, and of Ammon, and of Idumea, and of Sidon, and of the Hittites.
[撒羅滿敬拜邪神]撒羅滿除了法郎的公主外，又愛上了許多外國女子：即摩阿布女子，阿孟女子，厄東女子，漆冬女子，赫特女子。
2 These were of the nations about whom the Lord said to the sons of Israel: “You shall not enter to them, and none of them shall enter to anyone of yours. For they will most certainly turn aside your hearts, so that you follow their gods.” And yet, to these Solomon was joined with a greatly enflamed love.
關於這些民族，上主曾吩咐以色列子民說：「你們不可到他們中間去，他們也不可到你們中間來，否則他們必會引誘你們的心，傾向他們的神。」但是，撒羅滿卻戀愛這些女子。
3 And for him, there were seven hundred wives, as if they were queens, and three hundred concubines. And the women turned aside his heart.
他有七百個各地公主為妻妾，另外還有三百妃子；這些妻妾終於敗壞了他的心。
4 And when now he was old, his heart was perverted by the women, so that he followed strange gods. And his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of his father David.
當撒羅滿年老的時候，這些妻妾迷惑了他的心，勾引他去崇拜別的神；他的心已不像他父親達味的心，全屬於上主他的天主。
5 For Solomon worshipped Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Milcom, the idol of the Ammonites.
這樣，他隨從了漆冬人的女神阿市托勒特和阿孟人的可憎之物米耳公。
6 And Solomon did what was not pleasing in the sight of the Lord. And he did not continue to follow the Lord, as his father David did.
撒羅滿作了上主眼中視為惡的事，不像他父親達味那樣全心服從上主。
7 Then Solomon built a shrine for Chemosh, the idol of Moab, on the mount that is opposite Jerusalem, and for Milcom, the idol of the sons of Ammon.
那時，撒羅滿在耶路撒冷東面的山上，為摩阿布人的可憎之物革摩士，為阿孟子民的可憎之物摩肋客，修築了丘壇。
8 And he acted in this manner for all his foreign wives, who were burning incense and immolating to their gods.
他為所有的外國妻妾，都修築了丘壇，各給自己的神焚香獻祭。上主發怒警告
9 And so, the Lord became angry with Solomon, because his mind had been turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
上主遂向撒羅滿發怒，因為他的心偏離了兩次顯現給他的上主以色列的天主。
10 and who had instructed him about this matter, lest he follow strange gods. But he did not observe what the Lord commanded to him.
當時，上主對此事曾吩咐過他，不可去隨從別的神，但他卻沒有遵守上主的命令。
11 And so, the Lord said to Solomon: “Because you have this with you, and because you have not kept my covenant and my precepts, which I commanded to you, I will tear apart your kingdom, and I will give it to your servant.
於是，上主對撒羅滿說：「你既然這樣行事，不遵守我的盟約，和我吩咐你的誡命，我必要奪去你的王國，賜給你的一個臣僕。
12 Yet truly, I will not do it in your days, for the sake of your father David. From the hand of your son, I will tear it away.
雖然如此，但為了你父親達味的緣故，在你有生之日，我不作這事；我將要由你兒子手中奪去。
13 Neither will I take away the whole kingdom. Instead, I will grant one tribe to your son, for the sake of David, my servant, and Jerusalem, which I have chosen.”
但是仍不完全奪去，為了我僕人達味和我所揀選的耶路撒冷，我仍給你的兒子留下一支派。」撒羅滿的外患
14 Then the Lord raised up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad of Idumea, from an offspring of the king who was in Idumea.
那時，上主興起一個反抗撒羅滿的人，就是厄東王的後裔，厄東人哈達得。
15 For when David was in Idumea, Joab, the leader of the military, had ascended to bury those who had been killed, and he had killed every male in Idumea.
當達味打敗厄東後，軍長約阿布前去埋葬陣亡的人時，殺了厄東所有的男子；
16 And Joab remained in that place for six months, with all of Israel, until he had put to death every male in Idumea.
約阿布和全以色列在厄東逗留了六個月，直到將厄東所有的男子完全殺掉。
17 Then Hadad fled, he and some men of Idumea from among the servants of his father with him, so that he might enter into Egypt. But Hadad was then a little boy.
哈達得卻同他父親的幾個臣僕厄東人逃往埃及，那時哈達得還很年輕。
18 And when they had risen up from Midian, they went into Paran, and they took with them some men from Paran. And they went into Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And he gave him a house, and he appointed food for him, and he assigned land to him.
他們從米德楊起身，到了帕蘭，從帕蘭又帶了些人到埃及，投奔埃及王法郎；法郎給了他一座房屋，供給他食用，又給了他一塊土地。
19 And Hadad found great favor before Pharaoh, so much so that he gave to him as wife, the sister of his own wife, queen Tahpenes.
哈達得在法郎眼前很是得寵，因此將自己的妻子塔培乃斯王后的妹妹，嫁給他為妻。
20 And the sister of Tahpenes bore to him a son, Genubath. And Tahpenes raised him in the house of Pharaoh. And Genubath was living with Pharaoh and his sons.
塔培乃斯的妹妹給哈達得生了一個兒子叫革奴巴特。塔培乃斯在法郎宮中撫養他，因此革奴巴特便住在法郎宮中，同法郎的公子們一起。
21 And when Hadad had heard in Egypt that David had slept with his fathers, and that Joab, the leader of the military, had died, he said to Pharaoh, “Release me, so that I may go to my own land.”
哈達得在埃及聽說達味已與他的列祖同眠，軍長約阿布也已去世，便對法郎說：「請讓我走，回到我故鄉去! 」
22 And Pharaoh said to him, “But what is lacking to you with me, so that you would seek to go to your own land?” But he responded: “Nothing. Yet I beg you that you may release me.”
法郎對他說：「你在我這裏缺少什麼，竟想回到你的故鄉去﹖」他回答說：「什麼也不缺，只求你讓我回去! 」
23 Also, God raised up against him an adversary, Rezon, the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadad-Ezer, the king of Zobah.
天主又興起一個反抗撒羅滿的人，就是厄肋雅達的兒子勒宗。他由自己的主人祚巴王哈達德則爾前出走。
24 And he gathered together men against him. And when David put those of Zobah to death, he became a leader of robbers. And they went away to Damascus, and they lived there. And they appointed him to be king of Damascus.
在達味擊殺阿蘭人時，聚集了一些人，作了土匪頭目，去了大馬士革，盤踞在那裏，做了大馬士革王。
25 And he was an adversary to Israel during all the days of Solomon. And such is the evil of Hadad and of his hatred against Israel. And he reigned in Syria.
撒羅滿有生之日，勒宗始終與以色列為敵。哈達得就回了國。哈達得的危害，即在於他作了厄東的君王，不斷騷擾以色列。撒羅滿的內憂
26 Also, there was Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite from Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother was named Zeruah, a widowed woman. He lifted up his hand against the king.
厄弗辣大地責勒達人，乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕，─他的母親名叫責魯阿，是個寡婦─原是撒羅滿的臣僕，他也起來反抗君王。
27 And this is the reason for his rebellion against him: that Solomon built up Millo, and that he filled in a deep hole in the city of David, his father.
他反抗君王的原委是這樣：當時撒羅滿正在建築米羅，修葺他父親達味城的裂口；
28 Now Jeroboam was a valiant and powerful man. And perceiving the young man to be ingenious and industrious, Solomon appointed him as first ruler over the tributes of the entire house of Joseph.
雅洛貝罕這個人原很有才能，撒羅滿見這少年人很能做事，便派他監督若瑟族的一切勞役。
29 And it happened, in that time, that Jeroboam departed from Jerusalem. And the prophet Ahijah, the Shilonite, wearing a new cloak, found him on the way. And the two were alone in the field.
有一次，雅洛貝罕走出耶路撒冷，史羅的先知阿希雅在路上遇見了他；先知身上穿著一件新外衣，在田間只有他們二人。
30 And taking his new cloak, with which he was covered, Ahijah tore it into twelve parts.
阿希雅便拿起他所穿的新外衣，撕成了十二塊，
31 And he said to Jeroboam: “Take ten pieces for yourself. For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon, and I will give to you ten tribes.
然後對雅洛貝罕說：「你拿十塊，因為上主以色列的天主這樣說：看，我必將撒羅滿手中的王國撕裂，將十個支派交給你。
32 Yet one tribe shall remain with him, for the sake of my servant, David, as well as Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel.
為了我僕人達味，和我從以色列支派中選的耶路撒冷城的緣故，仍給他留下一支派，
33 For he has abandoned me, and he has adored Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Sidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the sons of Ammon. And he has not walked in my ways, so that he would do justice before me, and so that he would carry out my precepts and judgments, as his father David did.
因為他背棄了我，崇拜了漆冬人的女神阿市托勒特、摩阿布人的神革摩士和阿孟人的神米耳公。他沒有像他父親達味那樣履行我的道路，行我視為正義的事，恪守我的律例和誡命。
34 But I will not take the entire kingdom from his hand. Instead, I will establish him as the ruler during all the days of his life, for the sake of my servant David, whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my precepts.
但我不願從他手中奪去整個王國，我要使他有生之日作首領，是為了我所選的僕人達味的緣故，因為他遵守了我的誡命和律例。
35 But I will take away the kingdom from the hand of his son, and I will give to you ten tribes.
我卻意從他兒子的手中奪回王國，給你十個支派，
36 Then, to his son, I will give one tribe, so that there may remain a lamp for my servant David before me, for all days, in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen, so that my name would be there.
只留下一個支派給他的兒子，使我的僕人達味，在我所揀選立我名的耶路撒冷城中，在我面前常有一盞明燈。
37 And I will take you up, and you shall reign over all that your soul desires. And you shall be king over Israel.
我選取你，使你隨意統治一切，作以色列的君王。
38 Therefore, if you will listen to all that I will command you, and if you will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight, keeping my commandments and my precepts, just as my servant David did, then I will be with you, and I will build for you a faithful house, in the way that I built a house for David, and I will deliver Israel to you.
如果你聽從我吩咐你的一切，履行我的道路，行我視為正義的事，恪守我的律例和誡命，如同我的僕人達味一樣，我必與你同在，為你建立一鞏固的家室，像我為達味所建立的一樣。我將以色列交給你，
39 And I will afflict the offspring of David over this, but truly not for all days.’”
藉以貶抑達味的後裔，但不致於久遠。」
40 Therefore, Solomon wanted to kill Jeroboam. But he rose up and fled away to Egypt, to Shishak, the king of Egypt. And he was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
因此，撒羅滿想殺害雅洛貝罕，雅洛貝罕遂起身逃往埃及，投奔埃及王史沙克；他住埃及，直到撒羅滿逝世。撒羅滿逝世
41 Now the rest of the words of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom: behold, these are all written in the book of the words of the days of Solomon.
撒羅滿其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為和智慧，都記載在撒羅滿實錄上。
42 And the days that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem, over all of Israel, were forty years.
撒羅滿在耶路撒冷作王，統治全以色列，凡四十年。
43 And Solomon slept with his fathers, and he was buried in the city of David, his father. And Rehoboam, his son, reigned in his place.
撒羅滿與他的列祖同眠，葬在他父親達味城內；他的兒子勒哈貝罕繼位為王。
