1 Kings 15
1 And in the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam has reigned over Judah;
[阿彼雅為猶大王]乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕王十八年，阿彼雅登極作猶大王，
2 he has reigned three years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;
在耶路撒冷作王三年；他母親名叫瑪阿加，是阿貝沙隆的外孫女。
3 and he walks in all the sins of his father that he did before him, and his heart has not been perfect with his God YHWH, as the heart of his father David;
阿彼雅作了他父親在他以前所行的一切邪惡；他的心對上主他的天主，不像他祖父達味的那樣誠實。
4 but for David’s sake his God YHWH has given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem,
但是，上主他的天主，為了達味的緣故，仍使他在耶路撒冷，有一盞燈，立他的兒子接他的位，並保全耶路撒冷，
5 in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, and did not turn aside from all that He commanded him all [the] days of his life—except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;
因為達味除了赫特人烏黎雅那件事以外，常行了上主視為正義的事，一生歲月從未違背上主所吩咐他的一切。
6 and there has been war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
【勒哈貝罕與雅洛貝罕之間不斷發生戰事。】
7 And the rest of the matters of Abijam and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there has been war between Abijam and Jeroboam;
阿彼雅其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。阿彼雅與雅洛貝罕之間，常發生戰事。
8 and Abijam lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the City of David, and his son Asa reigns in his stead.
阿彼雅與列祖同眠，葬在達味城；他的兒子阿撒繼位為王。阿撒為猶大王
9 And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa has reigned over Judah,
以色列王雅洛貝罕二十年，阿撒登極作猶大王，
10 and he has reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.
在耶路撒冷作王四十一年；他的祖母名叫瑪阿加，是阿貝沙隆的外孫女。
11 And Asa does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, like his father David,
阿撒行了上主視為正直的事，像他的祖父達味一樣。
12 and removes the whoremongers out of the land, and turns aside all the idols that his fathers made;
他將為神賣淫的男女由國內除掉，徹去了他祖先所立的一切偶像，
13 and also his mother Maachah—he turns her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for an Asherah, and Asa cuts down her horrible thing, and burns [it] by the Brook of Kidron;
並廢除了他祖母瑪阿加作太后的權位，因為她給阿舍辣立了可憎惡的柱像；阿撒把她所立的像砍倒，在克德龍谷焚毀。
14 but the high places have not been removed; only, the heart of Asa has been perfect with YHWH [for] all his days,
只有丘壇沒有廢除；不過阿撒的心一生全屬上主。
15 and he brings in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of YHWH: silver, and gold, and vessels.
阿撒將他父親所獻的，和他自己所獻的金銀和器皿，都送入上主的殿內。
16 And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days,
阿撒與以色列王巴厄沙之間不斷發生戰爭。
17 and Baasha king of Israel goes up against Judah, and builds Ramah, not to permit anyone going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
以色列王巴厄沙上來進攻猶大，並在辣瑪修築工事，防止人民同猶大王阿撒來往。
18 And Asa takes all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the house of the king, and gives them into the hand of his servants, and King Asa sends them to Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
那時，阿撒將上主殿內和王宮內寶庫中所剩餘的金銀取出，交給他的臣僕，打發他們去見住在大馬士革的阿蘭王，赫則雍的孫子，塔貝黎孟的兒子本哈達得說：「
19 “A covenant [is] between me and you, between my father and your father; behold, I have sent a reward of silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off me.”
我與你之間，我父親與你父親之間都立過約；現在我給你送來金銀作為禮品，請你廢除你與以色列王巴厄沙所立的約，使他遠離我! 」
20 And Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has against cities of Israel, and strikes Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali;
本哈達得聽了阿撒王的話，即刻派自己的軍長去攻打以色列的城市，攻下了依雍、丹、阿貝耳貝瑪阿加、基乃勒特全境和納裴塔里全境。
21 and it comes to pass at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and dwells in Tirzah.
巴厄沙一聽說這事，就停止在辣瑪的工事，回到了提爾匝。
22 And King Asa has summoned all Judah—there is none exempt—and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha has built, and King Asa builds with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
於是阿撒王召集全猶大人民，一個也不例外，吩咐他們將巴厄沙修築辣瑪所用的石頭和木料運走；阿撒王用來修建本雅明的革巴和米茲帕。
23 And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? Only, at the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet;
阿撒其餘的事蹟，關於他的一切偉業和作為，並建造的城防，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。他年老時，患了足疾。
24 and Asa lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigns in his stead.
阿撒與列祖同眠，與列祖同葬在他祖父達味城內；他的兒子約沙法特繼位為王。納達布為以色列王
25 And Nadab son of Jeroboam has reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigns over Israel two years,
猶大王阿撒二年，雅洛貝罕的兒子納達布登極作以色列王。他二年作以色列王，
26 and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and goes in the way of his father, and in his sin that he made Israel to sin.
行了上主視為惡的事，走了他父親的路，犯了他父親使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
27 And Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspires against him, and Baasha strikes him in Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines—and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon—
依撒加爾家族，阿希雅的兒子巴厄沙結黨背叛了他，在屬於培肋舍特人的基貝通將他殺死，那時納達布和全以色列人正在圍攻基貝通。
28 indeed, Baasha puts him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigns in his stead.
猶大王阿撒三年，巴厄沙殺了納達布，篡了他的王位。
29 And it comes to pass, at his reigning, he has struck the whole house of Jeroboam, he has not left any breathing to Jeroboam until his destroying him, according to the word of YHWH, that He spoke by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
他登極後，立即殺了亞洛貝罕全家；凡屬於雅洛貝罕家中的人，沒有留下一個，都殺絕了：這正應了上主藉他僕人使羅人阿希雅所說的話。
30 because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked YHWH, God of Israel, to anger.
這是因為亞洛貝罕自己犯的罪和他使以色列犯的罪，激怒了上主，以色列的天主。
31 And the rest of the matters of Nadab and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
納達布其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
32 And there has been war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel [for] all their days.
【阿撒與以色列王巴厄沙之間常發生戰事。】巴厄沙為以色列王
33 In the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah has reigned over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty-four years,
猶大王阿撒三年，阿希雅的兒子巴厄沙在提爾匝登極，作全以色列王，在位凡二十四年。
34 and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.
他行了上主視為惡的事，走了雅洛貝罕所走的路，犯了使以色列陷於罪惡的事。
