< 1 Kings 11 >
1 Now King Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh: women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites,
所罗门王在法老的女儿之外,又宠爱许多外邦女子,就是摩押女子、亚扪女子、以东女子、西顿女子、赫人女子。
2 of the nations concerning which the LORD said to the children of Israel, “You shall not go amongst them, neither shall they come amongst you, for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods.” Solomon joined to these in love.
论到这些国的人,耶和华曾晓谕以色列人说:“你们不可与她们往来相通,因为她们必诱惑你们的心去随从她们的神。”所罗门却恋爱这些女子。
3 He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. His wives turned his heart away.
所罗门有妃七百,都是公主;还有嫔三百。这些妃嫔诱惑他的心。
4 When Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father was.
所罗门年老的时候,他的妃嫔诱惑他的心去随从别神,不效法他父亲大卫诚诚实实地顺服耶和华—他的 神。
5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
因为所罗门随从西顿人的女神亚斯她录和亚扪人可憎的神米勒公。
6 Solomon did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and didn’t go fully after the LORD, as David his father did.
所罗门行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,不效法他父亲大卫专心顺从耶和华。
7 Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.
所罗门为摩押可憎的神基抹和亚扪人可憎的神摩洛,在耶路撒冷对面的山上建筑邱坛。
8 So he did for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods.
他为那些向自己的神烧香献祭的外邦女子,就是他娶来的妃嫔也是这样行。
9 The LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,
耶和华向所罗门发怒,因为他的心偏离向他两次显现的耶和华—以色列的 神。
10 and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods; but he didn’t keep that which the LORD commanded.
耶和华曾吩咐他不可随从别神,他却没有遵守耶和华所吩咐的。
11 Therefore the LORD said to Solomon, “Because this is done by you, and you have not kept my covenant and my statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant.
所以耶和华对他说:“你既行了这事,不遵守我所吩咐你守的约和律例,我必将你的国夺回,赐给你的臣子。
12 Nevertheless, I will not do it in your days, for David your father’s sake; but I will tear it out of your son’s hand.
然而,因你父亲大卫的缘故,我不在你活着的日子行这事,必从你儿子的手中将国夺回。
13 However, I will not tear away all the kingdom; but I will give one tribe to your son, for David my servant’s sake, and for Jerusalem’s sake which I have chosen.”
只是我不将全国夺回,要因我仆人大卫和我所选择的耶路撒冷,还留一支派给你的儿子。”
14 The LORD raised up an adversary to Solomon: Hadad the Edomite. He was one of the king’s offspring in Edom.
耶和华使以东人哈达兴起,作所罗门的敌人;他是以东王的后裔。
15 For when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck every male in Edom
先前大卫攻击以东,元帅约押上去葬埋阵亡的人,将以东的男丁都杀了。
16 (for Joab and all Israel remained there six months, until he had cut off every male in Edom),
约押和以色列众人在以东住了六个月,直到将以东的男丁尽都剪除。
17 Hadad fled, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him, to go into Egypt, when Hadad was still a little child.
那时哈达还是幼童;他和他父亲的臣仆,几个以东人逃往埃及。
18 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, who gave him a house, and appointed him food, and gave him land.
他们从米甸起行,到了巴兰;从巴兰带着几个人来到埃及见埃及王法老;法老为他派定粮食,又给他房屋田地。
19 Hadad found great favour in the sight of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, the sister of Tahpenes the queen.
哈达在法老面前大蒙恩惠,以致法老将王后答比匿的妹子赐他为妻。
20 The sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house; and Genubath was in Pharaoh’s house amongst the sons of Pharaoh.
答比匿的妹子给哈达生了一个儿子,名叫基努拔。答比匿使基努拔在法老的宫里断奶,基努拔就与法老的众子一同住在法老的宫里。
21 When Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, “Let me depart, that I may go to my own country.”
哈达在埃及听见大卫与他列祖同睡,元帅约押也死了,就对法老说:“求王容我回本国去。”
22 Then Pharaoh said to him, “But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you seek to go to your own country?” He answered, “Nothing, however only let me depart.”
法老对他说:“你在我这里有什么缺乏,你竟要回你本国去呢?”他回答说:“我没有缺乏什么,只是求王容我回去。”
23 God raised up an adversary to him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer king of Zobah.
神又使以利亚大的儿子利逊兴起,作所罗门的敌人。他先前逃避主人琐巴王哈大底谢。
24 He gathered men to himself, and became captain over a troop, when David killed them of Zobah. They went to Damascus and lived there, and reigned in Damascus.
大卫击杀琐巴人的时候,利逊招聚了一群人,自己作他们的头目,往大马士革居住,在那里作王。
25 He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon, in addition to the mischief of Hadad. He abhorred Israel, and reigned over Syria.
所罗门活着的时候,哈达为患之外,利逊也作以色列的敌人。他恨恶以色列人,且作了亚兰人的王。
26 Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, a servant of Solomon, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow, also lifted up his hand against the king.
所罗门的臣仆、尼八的儿子耶罗波安也举手攻击王。他是以法莲支派的洗利达人,他母亲是寡妇,名叫洗鲁阿。
27 This was the reason why he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon built Millo, and repaired the breach of his father David’s city.
他举手攻击王的缘故,乃由先前所罗门建造米罗,修补他父亲大卫城的破口。
28 The man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour; and Solomon saw the young man that he was industrious, and he put him in charge of all the labour of the house of Joseph.
耶罗波安是大有才能的人。所罗门见这少年人殷勤,就派他监管约瑟家的一切工程。
29 At that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the way. Now Ahijah had clad himself with a new garment; and the two of them were alone in the field.
一日,耶罗波安出了耶路撒冷,示罗人先知亚希雅在路上遇见他;亚希雅身上穿着一件新衣。他们二人在田野,以外并无别人。
30 Ahijah took the new garment that was on him, and tore it in twelve pieces.
亚希雅将自己穿的那件新衣撕成十二片,
31 He said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces; for the LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you
对耶罗波安说:“你可以拿十片。耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:‘我必将国从所罗门手里夺回,将十个支派赐给你。(
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),
我因仆人大卫和我在以色列众支派中所选择的耶路撒冷城的缘故,仍给所罗门留一个支派。)
33 because they have forsaken me, and have worshipped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon. They have not walked in my ways, to do that which is right in my eyes, and to keep my statutes and my ordinances, as David his father did.
因为他离弃我,敬拜西顿人的女神亚斯她录、摩押的神基抹,和亚扪人的神米勒公,没有遵从我的道,行我眼中看为正的事,守我的律例典章,像他父亲大卫一样。
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, who kept my commandments and my statutes,
但我不从他手里将全国夺回;使他终身为君,是因我所拣选的仆人大卫谨守我的诫命律例。
35 but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes.
我必从他儿子的手里将国夺回,以十个支派赐给你,
36 I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.
还留一个支派给他的儿子,使我仆人大卫在我所选择立我名的耶路撒冷城里,在我面前长有灯光。
37 I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.
我必拣选你,使你照心里一切所愿的,作王治理以色列。
38 It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
你若听从我一切所吩咐你的,遵行我的道,行我眼中看为正的事,谨守我的律例诫命,像我仆人大卫所行的,我就与你同在,为你立坚固的家,像我为大卫所立的一样,将以色列人赐给你。
39 I will afflict the offspring of David for this, but not forever.’”
我必因所罗门所行的使大卫后裔受患难,但不至于永远。’”
40 Therefore Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam arose and fled into Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.
所罗门因此想要杀耶罗波安。耶罗波安却起身逃往埃及;到了埃及王示撒那里,就住在埃及,直到所罗门死了。
41 Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all that he did, and his wisdom, aren’t they written in the book of the acts of Solomon?
所罗门其余的事,凡他所行的和他的智慧都写在所罗门记上。
42 The time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.
所罗门在耶路撒冷作以色列众人的王共四十年。
43 Solomon slept with his fathers, and was buried in his father David’s city; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.
所罗门与他列祖同睡,葬在他父亲大卫的城里。他儿子罗波安接续他作王。
