王上21:1 耶斯列人拿伯在耶斯列有一个葡萄园，靠近撒玛利亚王亚哈的王宫。
王上21:1 Now Naboth the Jezreelite had a vine-garden in Jezreel, near the house of Ahab, king of Samaria.
王上21:2 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。”
王上21:2 And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.
王上21:3 可是拿伯对亚哈说：“耶和华绝对不容许我把祖业给你。”
王上21:3 But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.
王上21:4 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。
王上21:4 So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.
王上21:5 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？”
王上21:5 But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?
王上21:6 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。’”
王上21:6 And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.
王上21:7 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。”
王上21:7 Then Jezebel, his wife, said, Are you now the ruler of Israel? Get up, take food, and let your heart be glad; I will give you the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite.
王上21:8 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。
王上21:8 So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.
王上21:9 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。
王上21:9 And in the letter she said, Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people;
王上21:10 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。”
王上21:10 And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.
王上21:11 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。
王上21:11 So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.
王上21:12 他们宣告禁食，使拿伯坐在民间的首席上。
王上21:12 They gave orders for a day of public sorrow, and put Naboth at the head of the people.
王上21:13 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。
王上21:13 And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.
王上21:14 于是他们派人去见耶洗别，说：“拿伯已经被人用石头打死了。”
王上21:14 And they sent word to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.
王上21:15 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。”
王上21:15 Then Jezebel, hearing that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, said to Ahab, Get up and take as your heritage the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he would not give you for money, for Naboth is no longer living but is dead.
王上21:16 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。
王上21:16 So Ahab, hearing that Naboth was dead, went down to the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite to take it as his heritage.
王上21:17 那时，耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说：
王上21:17 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
王上21:18 “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。
王上21:18 Go down to Ahab, king of Israel, in Samaria; see, he is in the vine-garden of Naboth the Jezreelite, where he has gone to take it as his heritage.
王上21:19 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。’”
王上21:19 Say to him, The Lord says, Have you put a man to death and taken his heritage? Then say to him, The Lord says, In the place where dogs have been drinking the blood of Naboth, there will your blood become the drink of dogs.
王上21:20 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。
王上21:20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you come face to face with me, O my hater? And he said, I have come to you because you have given yourself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.
王上21:21 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。
王上21:21 See, I will send evil on you and put an end to you completely, cutting off from Ahab every male child, him who is shut up and him who goes free in Israel;
王上21:22 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。’
王上21:22 And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha, the son of Ahijah, because you have made me angry, and have made Israel do evil.
王上21:23 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。
王上21:23 And of Jezebel the Lord said, Jezebel will become food for dogs in the heritage of Jezreel.
王上21:24 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。’”
王上21:24 Any man of the family of Ahab who comes to his death in the town will become food for the dogs; and he who comes to his death in the open country will be food for the birds of the air.
王上21:25 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。
王上21:25 (There was no one like Ahab, who gave himself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moved to it by Jezebel his wife.
王上21:26 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。
王上21:26 He did a very disgusting thing in going after false gods, doing all the things the Amorites did, whom the Lord sent out before the children of Israel.)
王上21:27 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。
王上21:27 Hearing these words, Ahab, in great grief, put haircloth on his flesh and went without food, sleeping in haircloth, and going about quietly.
王上21:28 耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说：
王上21:28 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
王上21:29 “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。”
王上21:29 Do you see how Ahab has made himself low before me? because he has made himself low before me, I will not send the evil in his life-time, but in his son's time I will send the evil on his family.
