< 列王紀上 19 >

1 [厄里亞退往曷勒布山]阿哈布將厄里亞所作的一切,以及他如何刀斬眾先知的事,全告訴了依則貝耳。
And he told Ahab to Jezebel all that he had done Elijah and all that he had killed all the prophets with the sword.
2 依則貝耳就派使者去對厄里亞說:「明天這個時候,如果我不使你的性命如同那些先知一樣,願眾神明嚴厲,且加倍嚴厲地懲罰我! 」
And she sent Jezebel a messenger to Elijah saying thus may they do! [the] gods and thus may they add! if about this time tomorrow I will make life your like [the] life of one from them.
3 厄里亞害了怕,遂起身逃命,到了猶大境內的貝爾舍巴,叫他的僕人留在那裏,
And he saw and he arose and he went to life his and he came Beer Sheba which [belongs] to Judah and he left servant his there.
4 自己卻進入曠野,走了一天的路,來到一棵杜松樹下,坐下來求死說:「上主啊! 現在已經夠了! 收去我的性命罷! 因為我並不如我的祖先好。」
And he he went in the wilderness a journey of a day and he came and he sat under a broom plant (one *Q(k)*) and he asked self his to die and he said - enough now O Yahweh take life my for not [am] good I more than ancestors my.
5 以後,就躺在那棵杜松樹下,睡著了;忽然,有為天使拍醒他,對他說:「起來,吃罷! 」
And he lay down and he slept under a broom plant one and there! this an angel [was] touching him and he said to him arise eat.
6 他看了看,見頭旁有一塊用炭火烤熟的餅和一罐水;他吃了喝了,又躺下睡了。
And he looked and there! [was] [the] place of head his a bread cake of hot coals and a jug of water and he ate and he drank and he returned and he lay down.
7 上主的使者第二次又來拍醒他說:「起來,吃罷! 因為你還有一段很遠的路。」
And he returned [the] angel of Yahweh - a second [time] and he touched him and he said arise eat for [is too] great for you the journey.
8 他就起來,吃了喝了,賴那食物的力量,走了四十天四十夜,一直到了天主的山曷勒布。天主顯現給厄里亞
And he arose and he ate and he drank and he went in [the] strength of - the food that forty day[s] and forty night[s] to [the] mountain of God Horeb.
9 他來到那裏,進了一個山洞,在那裏過夜;有上主的話傳於他說:「厄里亞,你在這裏做什麼﹖」
And he went there into the cave and he spent [the] night there and there! [the] word of Yahweh [was] to him and he said to him what? [is] to you here O Elijah.
10 厄里亞答說:「我為上主萬軍的天主憂心如焚,因為以色列子民背棄了你的盟約,毀壞了你的祭壇,刀斬了你的先知,只剩下了我一個,他們還要奪取我的性命! 」
And he said certainly I have been zealous for Yahweh - [the] God of hosts for they have forsaken covenant your [the] people of Israel altars your they have torn down and prophets your they have killed with the sword and I am left I to alone me and they have sought life my to take away it.
11 上主吩咐他說:「你出來,站在山上,立在上主前面。」那時,上主正從那裏經過,在上主面前,暴風大作,裂山碎石,但是,上主卻不在風暴中;風以後有地震,但是上主亦不在地震中;
And he said go out and you will stand on the mountain before Yahweh and there! Yahweh [was] passing by and a wind great and strong [was] tearing mountains and breaking rocks before Yahweh not [was] in the wind Yahweh and [was] after the wind an earthquake not [was] in the earthquake Yahweh.
12 地震以後有烈火,但是上主仍不在火中;烈火以後,有輕微細弱的風聲。
And [was] after the earthquake a fire not [was] in the fire Yahweh and [was] after the fire a sound of a whisper soft.
13 厄里亞一聽見這聲音,即用外衣蒙住臉出來,站在洞口。遂有聲音對他說:「厄里亞,你在這裏做什麼﹖」
And it was - when heard Elijah and he wrapped face his in cloak his and he went out and he stood [the] entrance of the cave and there! [was] to him a voice and it said what? [is] to you here O Elijah.
14 他答說:「我為上主萬軍的天主憂心如焚,因為以色列子民背棄了你的盟約,毀壞了你的祭壇,刀斬了你的先知,只剩下了我一個,他們還要奪取我的性命! 」厄里亞奉命敷油
And he said certainly I have been zealous for Yahweh - [the] God of hosts for they have forsaken covenant your [the] people of Israel altars your they have torn down and prophets your they have killed with the sword and I am left I to alone me and they have sought life my to take away it.
15 上主對厄里亞說:「你回去,仍取道曠野,往大馬士革去,到了那裏,給哈匝耳敷油,立他為阿蘭王。
And he said Yahweh to him go go back to way your [the] wilderness of towards Damascus and you will go and you will anoint Hazael to king over Aram.
16 去給尼默史的孫子耶胡敷油,立他為以色列王;再去給阿耳貝默曷拉人沙法特的兒子厄里叟敷油,立他接替你為先知;
And Jehu [the] son of Nimshi you will anoint to king over Israel and Elisha [the] son of Shaphat from Abel Meholah you will anoint to prophet in place of you.
17 將來躲過哈匝耳的刀的,必為耶胡所殺;躲過耶胡的刀的,必為厄里叟所殺。
And it will be the [one who] escapes from [the] sword of Hazael he will put to death Jehu and the [one who] escapes from [the] sword of Jehu he will put to death Elisha.
18 然而,在以色列我要為我自己留下七千人;他們全是從未向巴耳屈過膝,未與巴耳親過嘴的人。」厄里叟蒙召
And I will leave among Israel seven thousand all the knees which not they have bowed down to Baal and every mouth which not it has kissed it.
19 厄里亞於是從那裏起身,去找沙法特的兒子厄里叟。他正在耕田,在他面前有十二對牛,他自己趕著地十二對;厄里亞走過他身邊,將自己的外衣披在他身上。
And he went from there and he found Elisha [the] son of Shaphat and he [was] plowing two [plus] ten pairs [were] before him and he [was] with two [plus] the ten and he passed on Elijah to him and he threw cloak his to him.
20 厄里叟? 披在的父母吻別,然後來跟隨你。」厄里亞對他說:「你去罷! 要再回來! 因為我應為你作的,已經作了。」
And he left the ox[en] and he ran after Elijah and he said I want to kiss please father my and mother my and I will go after you and he said to him go turn back for what? have I done to you.
21 厄里叟離開了厄里亞,回來牽出一對牛宰殺了,用駕馭牛的用具煮熟,分給眾人吃;然後他便起身跟隨厄里亞,作了他的侍從。
And he turned back from after him and he took [the] pair of the ox[en] and he sacrificed it and with [the] equipment of the ox[en] he cooked them the flesh and he gave [it] to the people and they ate and he arose and he went after Elijah and he served him.
