¹亚哈贪图拿伯的葡萄园

¹And it cometh to pass, after these things, a vineyard hath been to Naboth the Jezreelite, that [is] in Jezreel, near the palace of Ahab king of Samaria,

²亚哈对拿伯说：“把你的葡萄园让给我，我可以用作菜园，因为你的葡萄园靠近我的王宫。我要把一个更好的葡萄园与你交换。如果你喜欢，我也可以按市价给你银子。”

²and Ahab speaketh unto Naboth, saying, `Give to me thy vineyard, and it is to me for a garden of green herbs, for it [is] near by my house, and I give to thee in its stead a better vineyard than it; if good in thine eyes, I give to thee silver — its price.`

³可是拿伯对亚哈说：“耶和华绝对不容许我把祖业给你。”

³And Naboth saith unto Ahab, `Far be it from me, by Jehovah, my giving the inheritance of my fathers to thee;`

⁴亚哈因为耶斯列人拿伯对他说：“我不能把祖业给你”，就闷闷不乐回到宫里。他躺在床上，脸朝向内，也不吃饭。

⁴and Ahab cometh in unto his house, sulky and wroth, because of the word that Naboth the Jezreelite hath spoken unto him when he saith, `I do not give to thee the inheritance of my fathers,` and he lieth down on his bed, and turneth round his face, and hath not eaten bread.

⁵耶洗别献计他的妻子耶洗别进来见他，问他说：“你为什么心里这么烦闷，连饭也不吃呢？”

⁵And Jezebel his wife cometh in unto him, and speaketh unto him, `What [is] this? — thy spirit sulky, and thou art not eating bread!`

⁶亚哈回答她说：“因为我对耶斯列人拿伯说：‘把你的葡萄园让给我，我付你银子；或者你喜欢的话，我可以用另一个葡萄园与你交换’；可是他说：‘我不能把我的葡萄园让给你。’”

⁶And he saith unto her, `Because I speak unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and say to him, Give to me thy vineyard for money, or if thou desire, I give to thee a vineyard in its stead; and he saith, I do not give to thee my vineyard.`

⁷他的妻子耶洗别对他说：“你现在不是统治以色列的王吗？只管起来吃饭，心神畅快，我必能把耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园给你。”

⁷And Jezebel his wife saith unto him, `Thou now dost execute rule over Israel! rise, eat bread, and let thy heart be glad, — I do give to thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.`

⁸于是耶洗别以亚哈的名义写了一些信，然后把这些信送给那些住在拿伯城里的长老和贵胄。

⁸And she writeth letters in the name of Ahab, and sealeth with his seal, and sendeth the letters unto the elders, and unto the freemen, who are in his city, those dwelling with Naboth,

⁹她在信上写着说：“你们要宣告禁食，使拿伯坐在民间的首位上。

⁹and she writeth in the letters, saying, `Proclaim a fast, and cause Naboth to sit at the head of the people,

¹⁰又叫两个匪徒坐在拿伯的对面，作见证控告他说：‘你曾经咒诅　神和君王’；然后把他拉出去，用石头把他打死。”

¹⁰and cause two men — sons of worthlessness — to sit over-against him, and they testify of him, saying, Thou hast blessed God and Melech; and they have brought him out, and stoned him, and he dieth.`

¹¹拿伯被杀害于是拿伯城里的人，就是那些与拿伯同住一城的长老和贵胄，都照着耶洗别送给他们的信上所写的去行。

¹¹And the men of his city, the elders and the freemen who are dwelling in his city, do as Jezebel hath sent unto them, as written in the letters that she sent unto them,

¹²他们宣告禁食，使拿伯坐在民间的首席上。

¹²they have proclaimed a fast, and caused Naboth to sit at the head of the people,

¹³然后两个匪徒来坐在拿伯的对面。这两个流氓当众作见证控告拿伯，说：“拿伯曾经咒诅　神和君王。”众人就把拿伯拉出城外，用石头打他，把他打死了。

¹³and two men — sons of worthlessness — come in, and sit over-against him, and the men of worthlessness testify of him, even Naboth, before the people, saying, `Naboth blessed God and Melech;` and they take him out to the outside of the city, and stone him with stones, and he dieth;

¹⁴于是他们派人去见耶洗别，说：“拿伯已经被人用石头打死了。”

¹⁴and they send unto Jezebel, saying, `Naboth was stoned, and is dead.`

¹⁵亚哈霸占葡萄园耶洗别听见拿伯已经被人用石头打死了，就对亚哈说：“你起来，去占有那耶斯列人拿伯从前不肯给你的葡萄园，因为拿伯现在没有命了，他已经死了。”

¹⁵And it cometh to pass, at Jezebel`s hearing that Naboth hath been stoned, and is dead, that Jezebel saith unto Ahab, `Rise, possess the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, that he refused to give to thee for money, for Naboth is not alive but dead.`

¹⁶亚哈听见拿伯已经死了，就起来，下到耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园那里去，要占有那园。

¹⁶And it cometh to pass, at Ahab`s hearing that Naboth is dead, that Ahab riseth to go down unto the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to possess it.

¹⁷以利亚责备亚哈之恶行那时，耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说：

¹⁷And the word of Jehovah is unto Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

¹⁸“你起来，下去迎见住在撒玛利亚的以色列王亚哈，他现在正在耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园里。他下到那里去，是要占有那个园。

¹⁸`Rise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who [is] in Samaria, — lo, in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he hath gone down to possess it,

¹⁹你要对他说：‘耶和华这样说：你杀了人，又占有他的产业吗？’你又要对他说：‘耶和华这样说：狗在什么地方舔拿伯的血，也必在什么地方舔你的血。’”

¹⁹and thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, Hast thou murdered, and also possessed? and thou hast spoken unto him, saying, Thus said Jehovah, In the place where the dogs licked the blood of Naboth, do the dogs lick thy blood, even thine.`

²⁰亚哈对以利亚说：“我的仇人哪，你找到了我吗？”以利亚说：“我找到你了，因为你出卖了你自己，去行耶和华看为恶的事。

²⁰And Ahab saith unto Elijah, `Hast thou found me, O mine enemy?` and he saith, `I have found — because of thy selling thyself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah;

²¹耶和华说：‘看哪，我必使灾祸临到你，除灭你的后代，在以色列中属亚哈的男丁，无论是自由的，或是不自由的，我都要除灭。

²¹lo, I am bringing in unto thee evil, and have taken away thy posterity, and cut off to Ahab those sitting on the wall, and restrained, and left, in Israel,

²²我要使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家，又像亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家，因为你惹我发怒，又因为你使以色列人陷在罪中。’

²²and given up thy house like the house of Jeroboam son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked [Me], and dost cause Israel to sin.

²³至于耶洗别，耶和华也说：‘狗必在耶斯列的地方吃耶洗别的肉。

²³`And also of Jezebel hath Jehovah spoken, saying, The dogs do eat Jezebel in the bulwark of Jezreel;

²⁴属亚哈的人，死在城里的，必被野狗吃掉；死在田野的，必被空中的飞鸟吃掉。’”

²⁴him who dieth of Ahab in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat;

²⁵只是从来没有人像亚哈的；他受了他妻子耶洗别的引诱，出卖了他自己，行耶和华看为恶的事。

²⁵surely there hath none been like Ahab, who sold himself to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, whom Jezebel his wife hath moved,

²⁶他按照耶和华在以色列人面前赶走的亚摩利人所行的一切，跟从偶像。行了非常可憎的事。

²⁶and he doth very abominably to go after the idols, according to all that the Amorite did whom Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.`

²⁷亚哈悔改，免受惩罚亚哈听见这些话，就撕裂自己的衣服，披上麻布，禁食，睡在麻布上，并且神色颓丧地行走。

²⁷And it cometh to pass, at Ahab`s hearing these words, that he rendeth his garments, and putteth sackcloth on his flesh, and fasteth, and lieth in sackcloth, and goeth gently.

²⁸耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说：

²⁸And the word of Jehovah is unto Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

²⁹“你看见了亚哈在我面前怎样谦卑自己，因为他在我面前谦卑自己，所以他还在世的日子，我必不降这灾祸；到他儿子的日子，我必降这灾祸与他的家。”

²⁹`Hast thou seen that Ahab hath been humbled before Me? because that he hath been humbled before Me, I bring not in the evil in his days; in the days of his son I bring in the evil on his house.`
