1 Kings 15
1 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 18 years, Abijah became the king of Judah.
尼八的儿子耶罗波安王十八年，亚比央登基作犹大王，
2 He ruled for three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacah, the granddaughter of [David’s son] Absalom.
在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母亲名叫玛迦，是押沙龙的女儿。
3 Abijah committed the same kind of sins that his father had committed. He was not fully dedicated/committed to Yahweh his God, as his grandfather David had been.
亚比央行他父亲在他以前所行的一切恶，他的心不像他祖大卫的心，诚诚实实地顺服耶和华—他的 神。
4 But, because of [what Yahweh his God had promised to] David, Yahweh gave Abijah a son [MET] to rule in Jerusalem after him, and in order to protect Jerusalem [from their enemies].
然而耶和华—他的 神因大卫的缘故，仍使他在耶路撒冷有灯光，叫他儿子接续他作王，坚立耶路撒冷。
5 Yahweh did that because David had always done what pleased Yahweh and because David had always obeyed Yahweh. The only time when he disobeyed Yahweh was when he caused Uriah [to be killed].
因为大卫除 了赫人乌利亚那件事，都是行耶和 华眼中看为正的事，一生没有违背 耶和华一切所吩咐的。
6 There were wars between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam all during the time that Abijah ruled.
罗波安在 世的日子常与耶罗波安争战。
7 Everything else that Abijah did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
亚 比央其余的事，凡他所行的，都写在犹大列王记上。亚比央常与耶罗波安争战。
8 Abijah died [EUP] and was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, and his son Asa became king.
亚比央与他列祖同睡， 葬在大卫的城里。他儿子亚撒接续他作王。
9 After Jeroboam had been the king of Israel for almost 20 years, Asa started to rule Judah.
以色列王耶罗波安二十年，亚撒登基作犹大王，
10 He ruled in Jerusalem for 41 years. His grandmother was Maacah, the granddaughter of Absalom.
在耶路撒冷作王四十一年。他祖母名叫玛迦，是押沙龙的女儿。
11 Asa did what was pleasing to Yahweh, as his ancestor David had done.
亚撒效法他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事，
12 He got rid of the male prostitutes that were at the places where the people worshiped idols, and he also got rid of all the idols that his ancestors had made.
从国中除去娈童，又除掉他列祖所造的一切偶像；
13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah so that she no longer had influence in the government [because of] being the mother of a previous king. He did that because she had made a disgusting [wooden] statue of the goddess Asherah. Asa [told his workers to] cut down the statue and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
并且贬了他祖母玛迦太后的位，因她造了可憎的偶像亚舍拉。亚撒砍下她的偶像，烧在汲沦溪边，
14 He was not able to destroy all the places where the people worshiped [idols] on the high hills, but he continued to be dedicated/committed to Yahweh his entIre life.
只是邱坛还没有废去。亚撒一生却向耶和华存诚实的心。
15 He [told his workers to] place in the temple all the items that his father had dedicated to God, and all the gold and silver things that he had dedicated to God.
亚撒将他父亲所分别为圣与自己所分别为圣的金银和器皿都奉到耶和华的殿里。
16 There were wars between [the armies of] Asa and Baasha, the king of Israel, all during the time that they ruled.
亚撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常争战。
17 Baasha’s army invaded Judah. They captured Ramah [town north of Jerusalem]. Then they started to build a wall around it in order to prevent people from entering or leaving the area in Judah that was ruled by King Asa.
以色列王巴沙上来要攻击犹大，修筑拉玛，不许人从犹大王亚撒那里出入。
18 So Asa [told] his workers [to] take all the silver and gold that was still in the storerooms in the temple and in the palace. He told them to take it to Damascus and give it to King Ben-Hadad who ruled Syria. Ben-Hadad was the son of Tabrimmon and grandson of Hezion. He told the workers to say this to Ben-Hadad:
于是亚撒将耶和华殿和王宫府库里所剩下的金银都交在他臣仆手中，打发他们往住大马士革的亚兰王—希旬的孙子、他伯利们的儿子便·哈达那里去，
19 “I want there to be a peace treaty between you and me, like there was between your father and my father. For that reason, I am giving you this silver and gold. So now please cancel the treaty that you made with Baasha, the king of Israel, in order that he will take his soldiers away from attacking mine, [because he will be afraid of your army].”
说：“你父曾与我父立约，我与你也要立约。现在我将金银送你为礼物，求你废掉你与以色列王巴沙所立的约，使他离开我。”
20 [So the workers went and gave the message to] Ben-Hadad, [and he] did what Asa suggested. He sent his army commanders [and their soldiers] to attack some of the towns in Israel. They captured Ijon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maacah, the area near Galilee Lake, and all the land of [the tribe of] Naphtali.
便·哈达听从亚撒王的话，派军长去攻击以色列的城邑；他们就攻破以云、但、亚伯·伯·玛迦、基尼烈全境、拿弗他利全境。
21 When Baasha heard about that, he [told his soldiers to] stop working at Ramah. He [and his soldiers returned to] Tirzah [and] stayed there.
巴沙听见，就停工不修筑拉玛了，仍住在得撒。
22 Then King Asa sent a message to all the [people in the] towns in Judah, stating that they all were required to go to Ramah and carry away the stones and timber that Baasha’s soldiers had been using to build a wall around the city. With those stones and timber they fortified Mizpah [city north of Jerusalem], and Geba, [a town] in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin.
于是亚撒王宣告犹大众人，不准一个推辞，吩咐他们将巴沙修筑拉玛所用的石头、木头都运去，用以修筑便雅悯的迦巴和米斯巴。
23 Everything else that Asa did, the armies that his soldiers defeated, and the names of the cities that he caused to be fortified, are [RHQ] written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’. But when Asa became old, he got a disease in his feet.
亚撒其余的事，凡他所行的，并他的勇力与他所建筑的城邑，都写在犹大列王记上。亚撒年老的时候，脚上有病。
24 He died [EUP] and was buried where his ancestors were buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then his son Jehoshaphat became king.
亚撒与他列祖同睡，葬在他祖大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子约沙法接续他作王。
25 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost two years, King Jeroboam’s son Nadab started to rule Israel. He ruled for two years.
犹大王亚撒第二年，耶罗波安的儿子拿答登基作以色列王共二年，
26 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. His behavior was sinful like his father’s behavior had been, and what he did led the people of Israel to sin.
拿答行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，行他父亲所行的，犯他父亲使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪。
27 [A man named] Baasha, from the tribe of Issachar, planned to harm him. He killed Nadab when Nadab and his army had surrounded Gibbethon [city] in the Philistia area.
以萨迦人亚希雅的儿子巴沙背叛拿答，在非利士的基比顿杀了他。那时拿答和以色列众人正围困基比顿。
28 That [DOU] was when Asa had been [the king ruling] Judah for almost three years. Then Baasha became the king of Israel.
在犹大王亚撒第三年巴沙杀了他，篡了他的位。
29 As soon as Baasha became king, [he commanded his soldiers to] kill all of Jeroboam’s family. Doing what Yahweh had told the prophet Ahijah from Shiloh would happen, they killed all of Jeroboam’s family. None of them (was left/remained alive).
巴沙一作王就杀了耶罗波安的全家，凡有气息的没有留下一个，都灭尽了，正应验耶和华借他仆人示罗人亚希雅所说的话。
30 That happened because Yahweh had become very angry with Jeroboam because of all the sins that Jeroboam had committed, and because of the sins that he had persuaded the people of Israel to commit.
这是因为耶罗波安所犯的罪使以色列人陷在罪里，惹动耶和华—以色列 神的怒气。
31 Everything else that Nadab did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
拿答其余的事，凡他所行的，都写在以色列诸王记上。
32 There were wars between [the armies of] King Asa and King Baasha all the time that they ruled.
亚撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常争战。
33 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost three years, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, started to rule Israel at Tirzah [city]. He ruled for 24 years.
犹大王亚撒第三年，亚希雅的儿子巴沙在得撒登基作以色列众人的王共二十四年。
34 He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil, and his behavior was sinful like his father’s had been, and he led the people of Israel to sin.
他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，行耶罗波安所行的道，犯他使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪。
