1 Kings 11
1 But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and 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 Of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, You shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in to you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon joined to these in 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 he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away 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 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
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 went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination 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 evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
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 did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children 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 likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed 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 the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel, which 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 had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he kept not that which the LORD commanded.
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 Why the LORD said to Solomon, For as much as this is done of you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from you, and 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 Notwithstanding in your days I will not do it for David your father’s sake: but I will rend it out of the hand of your son.
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 However, I will not rend away all the kingdom; but will give one tribe to your son for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake 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 And the LORD stirred up an adversary to Solomon, Hadad the Edomite: he was of the king’s seed in Edom.
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 it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom;
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 (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom: )
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 That Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt; Hadad being yet a little child.
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 they arose out of Midian, and came to Paran: and they took men with them out of Paran, and they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt; which gave him an house, and appointed him victuals, and gave him land.
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 in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him to wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
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 him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house: and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s household among the sons of Pharaoh.
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 heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the host was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.
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 Then Pharaoh said to him, But what have you lacked with me, that, behold, you seek to go to your own country? And he answered, Nothing: however, let me go in any wise.
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 And God stirred him up another adversary, Rezon the son of Eliadah, which fled from his lord Hadadezer 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 men to him, and became captain over a band, when David slew them of Zobah: and they went to Damascus, and dwelled therein, and reigned in 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 all the days of Solomon, beside the mischief that Hadad did: and he abhorred Israel, and reigned over 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 And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephrathite of Zereda, Solomon’s servant, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, even 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 was the cause that he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breaches of 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 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valor: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the 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 came to pass at that time when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him in the way; and he had clad himself with a new garment; and they 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 Ahijah caught the new garment that was on him, and rent it in twelve pieces:
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 you ten pieces: for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to you:
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 (But he shall have one tribe for my servant David’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake, 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 Because that they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my judgments, as did David his father.
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 However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand: but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake, whom I chose, because he kept my commandments and my statutes:
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 the kingdom out of his son’s hand, and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
我卻意從他兒子的手中奪回王國，給你十個支派，
36 And to his son will I give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen me to put my name 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, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and 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 And it shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with you, and build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give 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 for this afflict the seed of David, but not for ever.
藉以貶抑達味的後裔，但不致於久遠。」
40 Solomon sought therefore to kill Jeroboam. And Jeroboam arose, and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and 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 And the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the acts 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 time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was 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 was buried in the city of David his father: and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.
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。
