1 Kings 15

1 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,

1 尼八的儿子耶罗波安王执政第十八年，亚比央登基做犹大王。

2 and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

2 他在耶路撒冷执政三年，母亲是押沙龙的女儿玛迦。

3 And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.

3 亚比央和他父亲一样作恶多端，没有像他祖先大卫一样忠于他的上帝耶和华。

4 Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.

4 但他的上帝耶和华因为大卫的缘故，仍然让他儿子在耶路撒冷继位，使耶路撒冷坚立。

5 For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

5 除了赫人乌利亚事件以外，大卫一生都做耶和华视为正的事，没有违背耶和华的任何命令。

6 And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.

6 罗波安和耶罗波安之间常有战事，一直延续到亚比央王朝。

7 As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

7 亚比央和耶罗波安之间也常有战事。亚比央其他的事及一切所为都记在《犹大列王史》上。

8 And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.

8 亚比央与祖先同眠后，葬在大卫城，他儿子亚撒继位。

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,

9 耶罗波安做以色列王第二十年，亚撒登基做犹大王，

10 and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

10 他在耶路撒冷执政四十一年。他祖母是押沙龙的女儿玛迦。

11 And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.

11 亚撒效法他祖先大卫，做耶和华视为正的事。

12 He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

12 他从国中驱逐了男庙妓，清除了他祖先制造的一切偶像。

13 He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.

13 亚撒还废除了他祖母玛迦的太后之位，因为她造了可憎的亚舍拉神像。亚撒把她的神像砍倒，放在汲沦溪烧掉。

14 The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.

14 他虽然没有清除丘坛，但一生忠于耶和华。

15 And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and the articles that he and his father had dedicated.

15 他把自己和父亲奉献的金银及器皿都带到耶和华的殿里。

16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

16 亚撒和以色列王巴沙执政期间，双方常常交战。

17 Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.

17 以色列王巴沙上来攻打犹大，并修筑拉玛，不许任何人进出犹大王亚撒的地界。

18 So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, the king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:

18 于是，亚撒把耶和华殿里和王宫库房里剩余的金银交给臣仆，派他们送给大马士革的亚兰王，即他伯利们的儿子、希旬的孙子便·哈达，说：

19 “Let there be a treaty between me and you as there was between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”

19 “我们之间应立盟约，像我们的父辈间立约一样，现在奉上金银为礼，请你取消与以色列王巴沙的盟约。这样，他就会从我境内退兵。”

20 And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.

20 便·哈达接受了亚撒王的提议，派将领攻打以色列的城邑，攻占了以云、但、亚伯·伯·玛迦、基尼烈全境和拿弗他利全境。

21 When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.

21 巴沙闻讯，就停止修筑拉玛，退回得撒去了。

22 Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.

22 亚撒王号令全体犹大人出动，任何人不得有误，将巴沙修筑拉玛的石头和木材搬走，用它们修建便雅悯的迦巴和米斯巴。

23 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.

23 亚撒其他的事，包括他的功业和兴建城邑的事迹都记在《犹大列王史》上。亚撒年老的时候，患了脚疾。

24 And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.

24 他与祖先同眠后，葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。他儿子约沙法继位。

25 In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.

25 亚撒做犹大王第二年，耶罗波安的儿子拿答登基做以色列王，执政两年。

26 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.

26 拿答行耶和华视为恶的事，像他父亲一样作恶多端，使以色列人陷入罪中。

27 Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.

27–28 亚撒做犹大王第三年，拿答率以色列军围攻非利士的基比顿城时，以萨迦支派亚希雅的儿子巴沙叛变，杀了拿答，篡位称王。

28 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.

29 As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone who breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

29 巴沙一做王，立刻诛杀耶罗波安全家，不留一个活口，应验了耶和华借祂仆人示罗人亚希雅所说的话。

30 because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.

30 这是因为耶罗波安犯罪，并使以色列人陷入罪中，惹以色列的上帝耶和华发怒。

31 As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

31 拿答其他的事及一切所为都记在《以色列列王史》上。

32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

32 亚撒和以色列王巴沙执政期间，双方常常交战。

33 In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.

33 犹大王亚撒执政第三年，亚希雅的儿子巴沙在得撒登基做以色列王，执政二十四年。

34 And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.

34 他做耶和华视为恶的事，步耶罗波安的后尘，使以色列人陷入罪中。
