< 1 Kings 14 >
1 At that time Abiiah the sonne of Ieroboam fell sicke.
[雅洛貝罕的兒子患病]那時,雅洛貝罕的兒子阿彼雅患病,
2 And Ieroboam saide vnto his wife, Vp, I pray thee, and disguise thy selfe, that they know not that thou art the wife of Ieroboam, and goe to Shiloh: for there is Ahiiah the Prophet, which tolde mee that I shoulde bee King ouer this people,
雅洛貝罕對自己的妻子說:「請你起來改裝,教人認不出你是雅洛貝罕的妻子,往史羅去,在那裏有先知阿希雅,他曾預言過我要作這人民的君王。
3 And take with thee tenne loaues and craknels, and a bottell of honie, and go to him: hee shall tell thee what shall become of the yong man.
你帶上十塊餅,一些餅乾和一瓶蜜去見他,他會告訴你孩子將來究竟如何。」
4 And Ieroboams wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahiiah: but Ahiiah could not see, for his sight was decayed for his age.
雅洛貝罕的妻子就這樣做了:起身去了史羅,來到阿希雅的家。阿希雅因年老,眼睛昏花,不能看清;
5 Then the Lord saide vnto Ahiiah, Beholde, the wife of Ieroboam commeth to aske a thing of thee for her sonne, for he is sicke: thus and thus shalt thou say vnto her: for when shee commeth in, shee shall feine her selfe to be another.
但上主卻預先對阿希雅說:「雅洛貝罕的妻子,要來問你有關她兒子的事,因為她兒子病了;你要如此這般地答覆她;她來時,是作另一婦人的打扮。」阿希雅預言孩子必死
6 Therefore when Ahiiah heard the sounde of her feete as shee came in at the doore, hee saide, Come in, thou wife of Ieroboam: why feinest thou thus thy selfe to bee an other? I am sent to thee with heauie tidings.
她一進門,阿希雅聽見她的腳步聲,就說:「雅洛貝罕的妻子,請進來! 你為什麼扮另一婦人﹖我正奉命要告訴你一個凶信。
7 Goe, tel Ieroboam, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Forasmuch as I haue exalted thee from among the people, and haue made thee prince ouer my people Israel,
你去告訴雅洛貝罕,上主以色列的天主這樣說:我從人民中提拔了你,立你作我人民以色列的領袖;
8 And haue rent the kingdome away from the house of Dauid, and haue giuen it thee, and thou hast not bene as my seruant Dauid, which kept my commandements, and followed mee with all his heart, and did onely that which was right in mine eyes,
我從達味家奪過王國來交給你,而你卻不像我的僕人達味那樣遵守我的誡命,全心隨從我,只行我視為正義的事;
9 But hast done euil aboue al that were before thee (for thou hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to prouoke me, and hast cast me behinde thy backe)
你反而作惡甚於你以前的任何人,且去為你自己製造別的神,鑄造偶像,惹我發怒,完全背棄了我。
10 Therefore beholde, I will bring euill vpon the house of Ieroboam, and will cut off from Ieroboam him that pisseth against the wall, aswell him that is shut vp, as him that is left in Israel, and will sweepe away the remnant of the house of Ieroboam, as a man sweepeth away doung, till it be all gone.
因此,我要降災懲罰雅洛貝罕家,消滅以色列所有屬於雅洛貝罕的男人,無論是自由的或是不自由的,一概除掉;我要掃除雅洛貝罕的家,有如人清除糞土一樣。
11 The dogges shall eate him of Ieroboams stocke that dyeth in the citie, and the foules of the aire shall eate him that dyeth in the fielde: for the Lord hath said it.
凡屬雅洛貝罕的人,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:因為上主說了。
12 Vp therefore and get thee to thine house: for when thy feete enter into the citie, the childe shall die.
現在,你快起身回家;當的腳踏進城門時,孩子就要死去。
13 And al Israel shall mourne for him, and burie him: for he onely of Ieroboam shall come to the graue, because in him there is found some goodnes towarde the Lord God of Israel in the house of Ieroboam.
全以色列人要哀悼他,埋葬他;雅洛貝罕家中,只有他得進入墳墓,因為雅洛貝罕家中,只有他行了一些中悅上主,以色列的天主的善事。
14 Moreouer, the Lord shall stirre him vp a King ouer Israel, which shall destroy the house of Ieroboam in that day: what? yea, euen nowe.
上主必為自己另選一位君王來統治以色列,那天他要消滅雅洛貝罕家。現在,我還能說什麼﹖
15 For the Lord shall smite Israel, as when a reede is shaken in the water, and hee shall weede Israel out of his good lad, which he gaue to their fathers, and shall scatter them beyond the Riuer, because they haue made them groues, prouoking the Lord to anger.
上主必要打擊以色列,使他們搖動如同水中的蘆葦;並將以色列從上主賜給他們祖先的福地上拔除,使他們分散在大河之外,因為他們製造了阿舍辣惹上主發怒。
16 And he shall giue Israel vp, because of the sinnes of Ieroboam, who did sinne, and made Israel to sinne.
由於雅洛貝罕自己所犯的罪,和使他以色列所犯的罪,上主必要拋棄以色列。」
17 And Ieroboams wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah, and when shee came to the threshold of the house, the yong man dyed,
雅洛貝罕的妻子遂起身走了,到了提爾匝,一進家門,孩子就死了。
18 And they buried him, and all Israel lamented him; according to the word of the Lord, which hee spake by the hand of his seruant Ahiiah the Prophet.
全以色列埋葬了他,並為他舉哀,正如上主藉著他的僕人阿希雅先知所說的話。雅洛貝罕逝世
19 And the rest of Ieroboams actes, how hee warred, and howe hee reigned, beholde, they are written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
雅洛貝罕其餘的事蹟,有關他怎樣戰爭,怎樣作王,都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
20 And the dayes which Ieroboam reigned, were two and twentie yeere: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his sonne reigned in his steade.
雅洛貝罕在位凡二十二年,然後與列祖同眠。他的兒子納達布繼位為王。勒哈貝罕為猶大王
21 Also Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon reigned in Iudah. Rehoboam was one and fourtie yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned seuenteene yere in Ierusalem, the citie which the Lord did chuse out of al the tribes of Israel, to put his Name there: and his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonite.
撒羅滿的兒子勒哈貝罕在猶大為王,他登極時,年四十一歲。他在耶路撒冷,即在上主從以色列各支派中選出歸他名下的城中,作王十七年;他的母親名叫納阿瑪,是阿孟人。
22 And Iudah wrought wickednesse in the sight of the Lord: and they prouoked him more with their sinnes, which they had committed, then all that which their fathers had done.
猶大人行了上主視為惡的事;他們所犯的罪比他們祖先所犯的,更激怒上主,
23 For they also made them hie places, and images, and groues on euery hie hill, and vnder euery greene tree.
因為他們也在各地的高崗上,在各綠樹下,修築了丘壇、柱像和阿舍辣;
24 There were also Sodomites in the lande, they did according to all the abominations of the nations, which the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
境內還有為神賣淫的男女,完全仿效了上主從以色列前所驅逐的異族,做了種種可憎惡的事。埃及王進攻猶大
25 And in the fift yere of King Rehoboam, Shishak King of Egypt came vp against Ierusale,
勒哈貝罕作王第五年,埃及王史沙克上來進攻耶路撒冷,
26 And tooke the treasures of the house of the Lord, and the treasures of the Kings house, and tooke away all: also he caried away all the shields of golde which Salomon had made.
劫去上主殿內和王宮的寶物,全部帶走,連撒羅滿所製的一切金盾牌也都帶去。
27 And King Rehoboam made for them brasen shieldes, and committed them vnto ye hands of the chiefe of the garde, which wayted at the doore of the Kings house.
勒哈貝罕只得製造銅盾牌來代替,交給防衛宮門的侍衛長保管;
28 And when the King went into the house of the Lord, the garde bare them, and brought them againe into the gard chamber.
每逢君王進入上主的殿時,侍衛便手持這些盾牌;事後,仍將盾牌送回侍衛室中。勒哈貝罕逝世
29 And the rest of the actes of Rehoboam, and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
勒哈貝罕其餘的事蹟,他的一切作為,都記載在猶大列王十實錄上。
30 And there was warre betweene Rehoboam and Ieroboam continually.
勒哈貝罕與雅洛貝罕之間不斷發生戰事。
31 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid: his mothers name was Naamah an Ammonite. And Abiiam his sonne reigned in his stead.
勒哈貝罕與列祖同眠,與列祖同葬在達味城。他的母親名叫納阿瑪,是阿孟人;他的兒子阿彼雅繼位為王。
