< 1 Kings 16 >

1 Then the word of the Lord came to Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, saying:
那時,有上主的話傳於哈納尼的兒子耶胡,斥責巴厄沙說:「
2 “Even though I exalted you from the dust, and I set you as ruler over my people Israel, still you have walked in the way of Jeroboam, and you have caused my people Israel to sin, so that you have provoked me by their sins.
我由塵埃中提拔了你,立你做我民以色列的領袖,你卻走了雅洛貝罕的路,使我民以色列犯罪,激怒我;
3 Behold, I will cut down the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house. And I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
我現在,我要掃除巴厄沙和他的家族,使他的家如同乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕的一家一樣:
4 Whoever will have died of Baasha in the city, the dogs will consume him. And whoever will have died of him in the countryside, the birds of the air will consume him.”
凡屬巴厄沙家的人,死在城中的,必為狗吞食,死在田野間的,必為空中的飛鳥啄食。」
5 Now the rest of the words of Baasha, and whatever he did, and his battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
巴厄沙其餘的事蹟,他所行的事和他的功績,都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
6 Then Baasha slept with his fathers, and he was buried at Tirzah. And Elah, his son, reigned in his place.
巴厄沙與列祖同眠,葬在提爾匝;他的兒子厄拉繼位為王。
7 And when the word of the Lord had arrived by the hand of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, against Baasha, and against his house, and against every evil that he had done before the Lord, so that he provoked him by the works of his hands, so that he became like the house of Jeroboam: for this reason, he killed him, that is, the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani.
上主藉哈納尼的兒子,先知耶胡傳話斥責巴厄沙和他的家族,是因為他行了許多上主眼中視為惡的事,以自己的作為激怒了上主,如同雅洛貝罕的家一樣;又因為他殺了雅洛貝罕全家。厄拉為以色列王
8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa, the king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, reigned over Israel, at Tirzah, for two years.
猷大王阿撒二十六年,巴厄沙的兒子厄拉在提爾匝登極作以色列王,在位凡二年。
9 And his servant Zimri, the commander of one half part of the horsemen, rebelled against him. Now Elah was drinking at Tirzah, and he became inebriated in the house of Arza, the prefect of Tirzah.
他的臣僕,即率領他半數戰車的隊長,齊默黎結黨背叛了他。當他在提爾匝,他的家在阿爾匝家喝醉時,
10 Then Zimri, rushing in, struck him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah. And he reigned in his place.
齊默黎衝入,擊殺了他,篡奪了他的王位,時在猶大王阿撒二十七年。
11 And when he had reigned and had sat upon his throne, he struck down the entire house of Baasha. And he did not leave behind of them anything that urinates against a wall, among both close relatives and his friends.
齊默黎一登極,立刻屠殺了巴厄沙全家,沒有給他留下一個男子,連他的親屬朋友都殺了。
12 And so, Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken to Baasha, by the hand the prophet of Jehu,
齊默黎這樣毀滅了巴厄沙全家,應驗了上主藉先知耶胡斥責巴厄沙所說的話。
13 because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah, his son, who sinned and caused Israel to sin, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, with their vanities.
這是因為巴厄沙和他的兒子厄拉所犯的一切罪,即引以色列陷於罪惡,因他們製造了虛無偶像,激怒了上主,以色列的天主。
14 But the rest of the words of Elah, and all that he did, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
厄拉其餘的事蹟,他的一切作為,都記載在以色列列王實錄上。齊默黎為以色列王
15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, the king of Judah, Zimri reigned for seven days in Tirzah. For the army was besieging Gibbethon, a city of the Philistines.
猶大王阿撒二十七年,齊默黎王提爾匝作王僅七天。當時人民正在圍攻培肋舍特人的基貝通,
16 And when they had heard that Zimri had rebelled, and that he had killed the king, all of Israel made Omri as a king for themselves; he was the leader of the military over Israel in the encampment in that day.
消息傳到營中說:齊默黎已經叛變,擊殺了君王,全以色列人當天即在營中,選立了軍長敖默黎作以色列王。
17 Therefore, Omri ascended, and all of Israel with him, from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.
敖默黎和與他在一起的全以色列人,從基貝通上去圍攻提爾匝。
18 Then Zimri, seeing that the city was about to be taken, entered the palace, and he set fire to himself along with the royal house. And he died
齊默黎一見城已失陷,即走進王宮的城堡,縱火焚燒王宮,自焚而死。
19 in his sins, which he had sinned, doing evil before the Lord, and walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin, by which he caused Israel to sin.
這是因為他所犯的罪惡,行了上主視為惡的事,走了雅洛貝罕的路,並以自己所犯的罪,使以色列陷於罪惡。
20 But the rest of the words of Zimri, and of his treachery and tyranny, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
齊默黎其餘的事蹟,暗殺叛變的事,都記載在以色列列王實錄。
21 Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: one half part of the people followed Tibni, the son of Ginath, having appointed him as king, and one half part followed Omri.
那時,以色列人民分裂為二:一半跟隨基納特的兒子提貝尼,要立他為王;一半跟隨敖默黎。
22 But the people who were with Omri prevailed over the people who were following Tibni, the son of Ginath. And Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
跟隨敖默黎的人勝過了跟隨基納特的兒子提貝尼的人;提貝尼死後,敖默黎便作了王。敖默黎為以色列王
23 In the thirty-first year of Asa, the king of Judah, Omri reigned over Israel for twelve years; he reigned for six years at Tirzah.
猶大王阿撒三十一年,敖默黎登極作以色列王,在位凡十二年,其中六年在提爾匝。
24 And he bought the mount of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. And he built upon it, and he called the name of the city that he had built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the mount.
敖默黎用兩「塔冷通」銀子,由舍默爾手中買下了芍默龍山。他修建了這座山,依照山的原主舍默爾的名字,給他所建築的城起名叫「撒瑪黎雅。」
25 But Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord, and he wrought wickedness, beyond all who had been before him.
敖默黎行了上主視為惡的事,甚至比他以前的人更為邪惡。
26 And he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and in his sins, by which he had caused Israel to sin, so that he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, by their vanities.
事事仿效乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕所走的路,犯了更使以色列陷於罪惡的罪,又敬拜邪神偶像,激怒上主,以色列的天主。
27 Now the rest of the words of Omri, and his battles that he carried out, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
敖默黎其餘的事蹟,他的作為和功蹟,都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
28 And Omri slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria. And Ahab, his son, reigned in his place.
敖默黎與列祖同眠,葬在撒瑪黎雅;他的兒子阿哈布繼位為王。阿哈布為以色列王
29 Truly, Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa, the king of Judah. And Ahab, the son of Omri, reigned over Israel at Samaria for twenty-two years.
猶大王阿撒三十八年,敖默黎的兒子阿哈布登極作以色列王。敖默黎的兒子阿哈布在撒瑪黎雅作以色列王,凡二十二年。
30 And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the sight of the Lord, beyond all who had been before him.
敖默黎的兒子阿哈布行了上主視為惡的事,甚於他以前的人。
31 And it was not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. In addition, he took as a wife Jezebel, the daughter of Eth-baal, the king of the Sidonians. And he went astray, and he served Baal, and adored him.
他走了乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕犯罪的路,尚以為是小事,又娶了漆冬王厄特巴耳的女兒依則貝耳為妻,親自去服事敬拜巴耳,
32 And he set up an altar for Baal, in the temple of Baal, which he had built at Samaria.
在撒瑪黎雅為巴耳建築了一座廟宇,廟內為巴耳設立了一座祭壇。
33 And he planted a sacred grove. And Ahab added to his works, provoking the Lord, the God of Israel, beyond all the kings of Israel who had been before him.
阿哈布又立了阿舍辣;阿哈布行事激怒上主,以色列的天主,尤甚於他以前的以色列王。
34 In his days, Hiel from Bethel built up Jericho. With Abiram, his firstborn, he founded it, and with Segub, his youngest son, he set up its gates, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he had spoken by the hand of Joshua, the son of Nun.
他在位的時候,貝特耳人希耳重建了耶里哥;奠基的時候,死了長子阿彼蘭;安門的時候,死了幼子色古布:這正應驗了上主藉農的兒子若蘇厄所說的話。
