犹大王亚比央

¹尼八的儿子耶罗波安王十八年，亚比央登基作犹大王，In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,

²在耶路撒冷作王三年。他母亲名叫玛迦，是押沙龙的女儿。and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.

³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。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.

⁴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。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.

⁵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。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.

⁶罗波安在世的日子常与耶罗波安争战。And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.

⁷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。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.

犹大王亚撒除去偶像

⁹以色列王耶罗波安二十年，亚撒登基作犹大王，In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,

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

¹¹亚撒效法他祖大卫行耶和华眼中看为正的事，And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.

相关经文 ›

¹²从国中除去娈童，又除掉他列祖所造的一切偶像；He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

¹³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，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.

¹⁴只是邱坛还没有废去。亚撒一生却向耶和华存诚实的心。The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.

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

亚撒联合亚兰对抗巴沙

¹⁶亚撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常争战。Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

¹⁷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。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.

¹⁸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，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:

¹⁹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。”“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.”

²⁰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。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.

²¹巴沙听见，就停工不修筑拉玛了，仍住在得撒。When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.

²²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。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.

²³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。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.

²⁴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。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.

以色列王拿答被巴沙所杀

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

²⁶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。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.

²⁷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。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.

²⁸在犹大王亚撒第三年巴沙杀了他，篡了他的位。In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.

²⁹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。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,

³⁰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。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.

³¹拿答其余的事，凡他所行的，都写在以色列诸王记上。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?

³²亚撒和以色列王巴沙在世的日子常常争战。And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.

以色列王巴沙

³³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。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.

³⁴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。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.

先知耶户责备巴沙

¹耶和华的话临到哈拿尼的儿子耶户，责备巴沙说：Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, saying:

²“我既从尘埃中提拔你，立你作我民以色列的君，你竟行耶罗波安所行的道，使我民以色列陷在罪里，惹我发怒，“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.

³我必除尽你和你的家，使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家一样。So now I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like that of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

⁴凡属巴沙的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。”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.”

⁵巴沙其余的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力，都写在以色列诸王记上。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?

⁶巴沙与他列祖同睡，葬在得撒。他儿子以拉接续他作王。And Baasha rested with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and his son Elah reigned in his place.

⁷耶和华的话临到哈拿尼的儿子先知耶户，责备巴沙和他的家，因他行耶和华眼中看为恶的一切事，以他手所做的惹耶和华发怒，像耶罗波安的家一样，又因他杀了耶罗波安的全家。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.

以拉被心利所杀

⁸犹大王亚撒二十六年，巴沙的儿子以拉在得撒登基作以色列王共二年。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.

⁹有管理他一半战车的臣子心利背叛他。当他在得撒家宰亚杂家里喝醉的时候，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.

¹⁰心利就进去杀了他，篡了他的位。这是犹大王亚撒二十七年的事。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.

¹¹心利一坐王位就杀了巴沙的全家，连他的亲属、朋友也没有留下一个男丁。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.

¹²心利这样灭绝巴沙的全家，正如耶和华借先知耶户责备巴沙的话。So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, according to the word that the LORD had spoken against Baasha through Jehu the prophet.

¹³这是因巴沙和他儿子以拉的一切罪，就是他们使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪，以虚无的神惹耶和华—以色列　神的怒气。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.

¹⁴以拉其余的事，凡他所行的，都写在以色列诸王记上。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?

心利作王七日

¹⁵犹大王亚撒二十七年，心利在得撒作王七日。那时民正安营围攻非利士的基比顿。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,

¹⁶民在营中听说心利背叛，又杀了王，故此以色列众人当日在营中立元帅暗利作以色列王。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.

¹⁷暗利率领以色列众人，从基比顿上去，围困得撒。Then Omri and all the Israelites marched up from Gibbethon and besieged Tirzah.

¹⁸心利见城破失，就进了王宫的卫所，放火焚烧宫殿，自焚而死。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

¹⁹这是因他犯罪，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，行耶罗波安所行的，犯他使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪。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.

²⁰心利其余的事和他背叛的情形都写在以色列诸王记上。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?

民分两半，暗利得胜

²¹那时，以色列民分为两半：一半随从基纳的儿子提比尼，要立他作王；一半随从暗利。At that time the people of Israel were divided: Half of the people supported Tibni son of Ginath as king, and half supported Omri.

²²但随从暗利的民胜过随从基纳的儿子提比尼的民。提比尼死了，暗利就作了王。But the followers of Omri proved stronger than those of Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died and Omri became king.

暗利建造撒马利亚城

²³犹大王亚撒三十一年，暗利登基作以色列王共十二年；在得撒作王六年。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.

²⁴暗利用二他连得银子向撒玛买了撒马利亚山，在山上造城，就按着山的原主撒玛的名，给所造的城起名叫撒马利亚。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.

²⁵暗利行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，比他以前的列王作恶更甚。But Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD and acted more wickedly than all who were before him.

²⁶因他行了尼八的儿子耶罗波安所行的，犯他使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪，以虚无的神惹耶和华—以色列　神的怒气。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.

²⁷暗利其余的事和他所显出的勇力都写在以色列诸王记上。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?

²⁸暗利与他列祖同睡，葬在撒马利亚。他儿子亚哈接续他作王。And Omri rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab reigned in his place.

亚哈娶耶洗别、拜巴力

²⁹犹大王亚撒三十八年，暗利的儿子亚哈登基作了以色列王。暗利的儿子亚哈在撒马利亚作以色列王二十二年。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.

³⁰暗利的儿子亚哈行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，比他以前的列王更甚，However, Ahab son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD, more than all who were before him.

³¹犯了尼八的儿子耶罗波安所犯的罪；他还以为轻，又娶了西顿王谒巴力的女儿耶洗别为妻，去事奉敬拜巴力，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.

³²在撒马利亚建造巴力的庙，在庙里为巴力筑坛。First, Ahab set up an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.

³³亚哈又做亚舍拉，他所行的惹耶和华—以色列　神的怒气，比他以前的以色列诸王更甚。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.

希伊勒重修耶利哥

³⁴亚哈在位的时候，有伯特利人希伊勒重修耶利哥城；立根基的时候，丧了长子亚比兰；安门的时候，丧了幼子西割，正如耶和华借嫩的儿子约书亚所说的话。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.

活水的江河

³⁷节期的末日，就是最大之日，耶稣站着高声说：“人若渴了，可以到我这里来喝。On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

³⁸信我的人就如经上所说：‘从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。’”Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”

³⁹耶稣这话是指着信他之人要受圣灵说的。那时还没有赐下圣灵来，因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

众人因耶稣起了纷争

⁴⁰众人听见这话，有的说：“这真是那先知。”On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”

⁴¹有的说：“这是基督。”但也有的说：“基督岂是从加利利出来的吗？Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?

⁴²经上岂不是说‘基督是大卫的后裔，从大卫本乡伯利恒出来的’吗？”Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

⁴³于是众人因着耶稣起了纷争。So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.

⁴⁴其中有人要捉拿他，只是无人下手。Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

差役空手而回

⁴⁵差役回到祭司长和法利赛人那里。他们对差役说：“你们为什么没有带他来呢？”Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”

⁴⁶差役回答说：“从来没有像他这样说话的！”“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.

⁴⁷法利赛人说：“你们也受了迷惑吗？“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.

⁴⁸官长或是法利赛人岂有信他的呢？“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?

⁴⁹但这些不明白律法的百姓是被咒诅的！”But this crowd that does not know the law—they are under a curse.”

尼哥底母说公道话

⁵⁰内中有尼哥底母，就是从前去见耶稣的，对他们说：Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,

⁵¹“不先听本人的口供，不知道他所做的事，难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗？”“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”

⁵²他们回答说：“你也是出于加利利吗？你且去查考，就可知道加利利没有出过先知。”“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
