1 Kings 14
1 At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
[雅洛貝罕的兒子患病]那時，雅洛貝罕的兒子阿彼雅患病，
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, "Please get up and disguise yourself, that you won't be recognized as the wife of Jeroboam. Go to Shiloh. Look, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spoke concerning me that I should be king over 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 Take with you ten loaves, and cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the child."
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 Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of 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 YHWH said to Ahijah, "Look, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall tell her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman."
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 It was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, "Come in, you wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
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 Go, tell Jeroboam, 'Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel: "Because I exalted you from among the people, and made you prince over 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 tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it you; and yet you have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in my 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 have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made you other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your back:
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, look, I will bring disaster on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung, until it is 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 He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the sky eat: for YHWH has spoken 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 Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child 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 All Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward YHWH, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
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 Moreover YHWH will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is day. What? Even now.
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 YHWH will strike Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking YHWH 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 He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin."
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 Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
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 All Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of YHWH, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah 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 The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, look, they are written in the book 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 The days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
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 Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which YHWH had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
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 Judah did that which was evil in the sight of YHWH, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that 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 built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green 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 and there were also male shrine prostitutes in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which YHWH drove 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 It happened in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
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 he took away the treasures of the house of YHWH, and the treasures of the king's house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon 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 King Rehoboam made in their place shields of bronze, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king's 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 It was so, that as often as the king went into the house of YHWH, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
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 Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
勒哈貝罕與雅洛貝罕之間不斷發生戰事。
31 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David: and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
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。
