1 Kings 16

1 Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying:

1 耶和華的話臨到哈拿尼的兒子耶戶，責備巴沙說：

2 “Even though I lifted you out of the dust and made you ruler over My people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have caused My people Israel to sin and to provoke Me to anger by their sins.

2 「我既從塵埃中提拔你，立你作我民以色列的君，你竟行耶羅波安所行的道，使我民以色列陷在罪裏，惹我發怒，

3 So now I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

3 我必除盡你和你的家，使你的家像尼八的兒子耶羅波安的家一樣。

4 Anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.”

4 凡屬巴沙的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鳥吃。」

5 As for the rest of the acts of Baasha, along with his accomplishments and might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

5 巴沙其餘的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力，都寫在以色列諸王記上。

6 And Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah reigned in his place.

6 巴沙與他列祖同睡，葬在得撒。他兒子以拉接續他作王。

7 Moreover, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha and his house, because of all the evil he had done in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands and becoming like the house of Jeroboam, and also because Baasha had struck down the house of Jeroboam.

7 耶和華的話臨到哈拿尼的兒子先知耶戶，責備巴沙和他的家，因他行耶和華眼中看為惡的一切事，以他手所做的惹耶和華發怒，像耶羅波安的家一樣，又因他殺了耶羅波安的全家。

8 In the twenty-sixth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Elah son of Baasha became king of Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah two years.

8 猶大王亞撒二十六年，巴沙的兒子以拉在得撒登基作以色列王共二年。

9 However, while Elah was in Tirzah getting drunk in the house of Arza the steward of his household there, Elah’s servant Zimri, the commander of half his chariots, conspired against him.

9 有管理他一半戰車的臣子心利背叛他。當他在得撒家宰亞雜家裏喝醉的時候，

10 So in the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri went in, struck Elah down, and killed him. And Zimri reigned in his place.

10 心利就進去殺了他，篡了他的位。這是猶大王亞撒二十七年的事。

11 As soon as Zimri began to reign and was seated on the throne, he struck down the entire household of Baasha. He did not leave a single male, whether a kinsman or friend.

11 心利一坐王位就殺了巴沙的全家，連他的親屬、朋友也沒有留下一個男丁。

12 So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, according to the word that the LORD had spoken against Baasha through Jehu the prophet.

12 心利這樣滅絕巴沙的全家，正如耶和華藉先知耶戶責備巴沙的話。

13 This happened because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.

13 這是因巴沙和他兒子以拉的一切罪，就是他們使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪，以虛無的神惹耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣。

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

14 以拉其餘的事，凡他所行的，都寫在以色列諸王記上。

15 In the twenty-seventh year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Zimri reigned in Tirzah for seven days. Now the troops were encamped against Gibbethon of the Philistines,

15 猶大王亞撒二十七年，心利在得撒作王七日。那時民正安營圍攻非利士的基比頓。

16 and the people in the camp heard that Zimri had conspired against the king and struck him down. So there in the camp that very day, all Israel proclaimed Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.

16 民在營中聽說心利背叛，又殺了王，故此以色列眾人當日在營中立元帥暗利作以色列王。

17 Then Omri and all the Israelites marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

17 暗利率領以色列眾人，從基比頓上去，圍困得撒。

18 When Zimri saw that the city was captured, he entered the citadel of the royal palace and burned it down upon himself. So he died

18 心利見城破失，就進了王宮的衛所，放火焚燒宮殿，自焚而死。

19 because of the sins he had committed, doing evil in the sight of the LORD and following the example of Jeroboam and the sin he had committed and had caused Israel to commit.

19 這是因他犯罪，行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，行耶羅波安所行的，犯他使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪。

20 As for the rest of the acts of Zimri and the treason he committed, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

20 心利其餘的事和他背叛的情形都寫在以色列諸王記上。

21 At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri.

21 那時，以色列民分為兩半：一半隨從基納的兒子提比尼，要立他作王；一半隨從暗利。

22 But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.

22 但隨從暗利的民勝過隨從基納的兒子提比尼的民。提比尼死了，暗利就作了王。

23 In the thirty-first year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned twelve years, six of them in Tirzah.

23 猶大王亞撒三十一年，暗利登基作以色列王共十二年；在得撒作王六年。

24 He bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver and built a city there, calling it Samaria after the name of Shemer, who had owned the hill.

24 暗利用二他連得銀子向撒瑪買了撒馬利亞山，在山上造城，就按着山的原主撒瑪的名，給所造的城起名叫撒馬利亞。

25 But Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.

25 暗利行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，比他以前的列王作惡更甚。

26 For he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins, which he caused Israel to commit, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger with their worthless idols.

26 因他行了尼八的兒子耶羅波安所行的，犯他使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪，以虛無的神惹耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣。

27 As for the rest of the acts of Omri, along with his accomplishments and the might he exercised, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

27 暗利其餘的事和他所顯出的勇力都寫在以色列諸王記上。

28 And Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab reigned in his place.

28 暗利與他列祖同睡，葬在撒馬利亞。他兒子亞哈接續他作王。

29 In the thirty-eighth year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Ahab son of Omri became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twenty-two years.

29 猶大王亞撒三十八年，暗利的兒子亞哈登基作了以色列王。暗利的兒子亞哈在撒馬利亞作以色列王二十二年。

30 However, Ahab son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him.

30 暗利的兒子亞哈行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，比他以前的列王更甚，

31 And as if it were not enough for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, he even married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and he then proceeded to serve and worship Baal.

31 犯了尼八的兒子耶羅波安所犯的罪；他還以為輕，又娶了西頓王謁巴力的女兒耶洗別為妻，去事奉敬拜巴力，

32 First, Ahab set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.

32 在撒馬利亞建造巴力的廟，在廟裏為巴力築壇。

33 Then he set up an Asherah pole. Thus Ahab did more to provoke the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel before him.

33 亞哈又做亞舍拉，他所行的惹耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣，比他以前的以色列諸王更甚。

34 In Ahab’s days, Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho. At the cost of Abiram his firstborn he laid its foundation, and at the cost of Segub his youngest he set up its gates, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through Joshua son of Nun.

34 亞哈在位的時候，有伯特利人希伊勒重修耶利哥城；立根基的時候，喪了長子亞比蘭；安門的時候，喪了幼子西割，正如耶和華藉嫩的兒子約書亞所說的話。
