1 Kings 16
1 Then this message from the Lord came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, condemning Baasha.
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 lifted you out of the dust to make you ruler over my people Israel, you have followed the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel sin, making me angry 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 Now I'm going to destroy Baasha and his family. Baasha, I will make your family like that of Jeroboam, 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 Those of Baasha's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
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 The rest of the events of Baasha's reign, everything that he did and what he accomplished, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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 Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah succeeded him as king.
巴厄沙與列祖同眠，葬在提爾匝；他的兒子厄拉繼位為王。
7 The message from the Lord condemning Baasha and his family came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani. It came because Baasha had done what was evil in the Lord's sight, in the same way as the family of Jeroboam had done, and also because Baasha had killed Jeroboam's family. The Lord was angry because of Baasha's sins.
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 Elah, son of Baasha, became king of Israel in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in 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 One of Elah's officials called Zimri who was in charge of half his chariots plotted a rebellion against him. One time Elah was in Tirzah, getting himself drunk at the home of Arza, the palace manager at 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 Zimri went up to him, attacked him, and killed him. This was in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Asa, king of Judah. Then he took over from him as king.
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 As soon as he became king and was installed on his throne, he killed all of Baasha's family. He did not leave a single male alive, whether of his relatives or of 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 So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, as the Lord had said in his condemnation of Baasha through Jehu the prophet.
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 This was because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had made Israel to commit. Their worship of their useless idols had angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
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 The rest of what happened in Elah's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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 Zimri became king of Israel in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah seven days. At that time the Israelite army was attacking the Philistine town of Gibbethon.
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 When the troops who were camped there learned that Zimri had plotted rebellion against the king and had murdered him, they made Omri, the army commander, king of Israel that same day in the army camp.
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 Omri and the whole Israelite army left Gibbethon and went and 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 When Zimri saw that the city had been taken he went into the fortress of the royal palace and set it on fire around him, and he died, because of the sins he had committed.
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 He did evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin which he had made Israel commit.
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 The rest of what happened in Zimri's reign and his rebellion are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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 After this the people of Israel were divided. Half supported Tibni, son of Ginath, as king, while the other half supported 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 However, those on Omri's side defeated Tibni's supporters. Tibni was killed and Omri became king.
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 Omri became king of Israel in the thirty-first year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned for a total of twelve years, (six of them were in 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 He purchased the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He fortified the hill, and named the city that he built Samaria, after Shemer, the previous owner of the hill.
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 Omri did what was evil in the Lord's sight—in fact he did more evil than those who lived 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 For he followed all the ways of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and in his sins which he made Israel commit, worshiping their useless idols which angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
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 The rest of what happened in Omri's reign, what he did, and his achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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 Omri died and was buried in Samaria. His son Ahab succeeded him as king.
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 Ahab, son of Omri, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in 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 Ahab, son of Omri, did evil in the Lord's sight, more than those who lived 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 He didn't see anything to worry about in following the sins of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and he even married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians, and started to serve and worship Baal.
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 Ahab made an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in 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 Then he put up an Asherah pole. In this way Ahab did more to anger the Lord, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel 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 During Ahab's reign Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He sacrificed Abiram his firstborn son when he laid its foundation, and sacrificed Segub his youngest son when he constructed its gates. This fulfilled the message the Lord had given through Joshua, 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。
