< 列王紀下 10 >
1 阿哈布在撒瑪黎雅尚有七十個孫子,為此,耶胡寫信給撒瑪黎雅城中的首領、長老和阿哈布子孫的師保,說:「
And [belonged] to Ahab seventy sons in Samaria and he wrote Jehu letters and he sent [them] Samaria to [the] officials of Jezreel the elders and to the guardians Ahab saying.
2 你們主上的子孫,既然都同你們在一起,又有車馬、堅城和武器;那麼,這信一到你們手中,
And now (when comes *LB(ah)*) the letter this to you and [are] with you [the] sons of master your and [are] with you chariotry and horses and a city of fortification and weaponry.
3 你們就在你們主上的子孫中,選出一位最好最能幹的,坐上他父親的寶座,來為你們主上的家作戰。」
And you will see the good and the right of [the] sons of master your and you will set [him] on [the] throne of father his and fight on [the] house of master your.
4 但是,他們都很害怕說:「哎! 兩位君王尚且不能抵抗他,我們又怎能抵抗﹖」
And they were afraid very very and they said there! [the] two the kings not they stood before him and how? will we stand we.
5 因此,家臣、市長、長老和師保,便派人去見耶胡說:「我們是你的僕人,凡你吩咐的,我們都必照辦。我們不選立任何人作王;你看著怎樣好,就怎樣辦罷! 」
And he sent [the one] who [was] over the house and [the one] who [was] over the city and the elders and the guardians to Jehu - saying [are] servants your we and all that you will say to us we will do not we will make king anyone the good in view your do.
6 耶胡又給他們寫了第二封信:「如果你們擁護我,願聽從我的號令;那麼,明天這個時候,你們就帶著你們主上的子孫的頭,到依次勒耳來見我。」君王的七十個子孫,其時都教養在城中的官紳家中。
And he wrote to them a letter - second saying if [belong] to me you and to voice my - you [are] listening take [the] heads of [the] men of [the] sons of master your and come to me about this time tomorrow Jezreel towards and [the] sons of the king seventy man [were] with [the] great [people] of the city [who] were bringing up them.
7 這封信一到,他們便將君王的七十個子孫全都殺了,把他們的頭放在籃子裏,送到依次勒耳耶胡那裏。
And it was when came the letter to them and they took [the] sons of the king and they slaughtered seventy man and they put heads their in baskets and they sent [them] to him Jezreel towards.
8 有使者來報告耶胡說:「他們將君王子孫的頭送來了。」耶胡即下令說:「將頭分成兩堆,放在城門口,直到明天早晨。」
And he came the messenger and he told to him saying they have brought [the] heads of [the] sons of the king and he said make them two heaps [the] entrance of the gate until the morning.
9 第二天早晨,耶胡出來,站著對全民眾說:「你們都沒有罪。看,我背叛了我的主上,且殺了他,但是,這些人是誰殺的呢﹖
And it was in the morning and he went out and he stood and he said to all the people [are] righteous you here! I I conspired on master my and I killed him and who? did he strike down all these.
10 你們也知道上主的話,即上主論及阿哈布家所說的話,一句也沒有落空;上主藉他僕人厄里亞所說的話,都實現了。」
Know then that not it will fall any of [the] word of Yahweh [the] ground towards which he has spoken Yahweh on [the] house of Ahab and Yahweh he has done [that] which he spoke by [the] hand of servant his Elijah.
11 然後,耶胡把阿哈布家在依次勒耳所剩下的人,所有的親屬、友人和司祭,全都殺了,一個也沒有留下。
And he struck down Jehu all those [who] remained of [the] house of Ahab in Jezreel and all great [men] his and acquaintances his and priests his until not he had left to him a survivor.
12 以後,耶胡起程往撒瑪黎雅去了。途中經過牧人聚集地貝特厄刻得時,
And he arose and he went and he went Samaria he [was at] Beth Eked of [the] Shepherds on [the] way.
13 遇見猶大王阿哈齊雅的兄弟,就問他們說:「你們是誰﹖」他們回答說:「我們是阿哈齊雅的兄弟,現在下去向君王和太后的兒子請安。」
And Jehu he found [the] brothers of Ahaziah [the] king of Judah and he said who? [are] you and they said [are] [the] brothers of Ahaziah we and we have come down for [the] peace of [the] sons of the king and [the] sons of the queen-mother.
14 耶胡遂下令說:「將他們活活捉住! 」隨從就將他們活活捉住,在貝特厄刻得井旁把他們殺了,共計四十二人,一個也沒有留下。
And he said seize them alive and they seized them alive and they slaughtered them to [the] pit of Beth Eked forty and two man and not he spared anyone from them.
15 耶胡從那裏起身前行,又遇見勒加布的兒子約納達布前來迎接他;耶胡向他請安,問他說:「你對我的心是否同我對你的心,請你伸出手來。」他就向耶胡伸過手去;耶胡就拉他上車,坐在自己身旁,
And he went from there and he found Jonadab [the] son of Rechab to meet him and he blessed him and he said to him ¿ [is] there with heart your right just as heart my [is] with heart your and he said Jonadab there is and there is give! hand your and he gave hand his and he took up him to himself into the chariot.
16 對他說:「你跟我來,看看我對天主是怎樣的熱誠。」於是叫他坐上他自己的車。
And he said come! with me and look on zeal my for Yahweh and they made ride him in chariot his.
17 到了撒瑪黎雅,就照上主對厄里亞所說的話,將阿哈布家在撒瑪黎雅剩下的人,全都殺了。
And he came Samaria and he struck down all those [who] remained of Ahab in Samaria until he had destroyed him according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had spoken to Elijah.
18 耶胡召集了全國人民,對他們說:「阿哈布事奉巴耳不夠熱心,我耶胡要更熱心事奉他。
And he gathered Jehu all the people and he said to them Ahab he served Baal a little Jehu he will serve him much.
19 所以現在,你們去召集所有巴耳的先知,所有敬拜巴耳的人,和所有的司祭,都到我這裏來,一個也不要缺席,因為我要向巴耳奉獻大祭;誰缺席,誰就不能生存。」這原是耶胡運用的詭計,想消滅所有敬拜巴耳的人。
And therefore all [the] prophets of Baal all [those who] serve him and all priests his summon to me anyone may not he be missing for a sacrifice great [belongs] to me to Baal any [one] who he will be missing not he will live and Jehu he acted with guile so as to destroy [those who] serve Baal.
20 耶胡下令說:「你們要為巴耳召開一個聖會! 」他們就宣布召開。
And he said Jehu consecrate an assembly to Baal and they proclaimed [it].
21 耶胡派人走遍全以色列;凡敬百拜巴耳的人都來了,沒有一個缺席不來的;他們都進了巴耳廟,巴耳廟內全擠滿了人。
And he sent Jehu in all Israel and they came all [those who] serve Baal and not he was left anyone who not he came and they went [the] house of Baal and it was filled [the] house of Baal mouth to mouth.
22 耶胡對管祭衣的人說:「為所有敬拜巴耳的人,拿出衣服來! 」那人就給他們拿出衣服來。
And he said to [the one] who [was] over the wardrobe bring out clothing for all [those who] serve Baal and he brought out for them the clothing.
23 耶胡和勒加布的兒子約納達布進了巴耳廟,對敬拜巴耳的人說:「你們要搜查看看,這裏不要有事奉雅威的人同你們在一起,只准敬拜巴耳的人。」
And he went Jehu and Jonadab [the] son of Rechab [the] house of Baal and he said to [those who] serve Baal search and see lest there here with you [be] any of [the] servants of Yahweh that except [those who] serve Baal to alone them.
24 他們於是進去奉獻犧牲和全燔祭。耶胡預先在外已派定八十人,對他們說:「誰若讓我交於你們手中的一個人逃走,就要他以命抵命。」
And they went to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings and Jehu he had stationed himself on the outside eighty man and he had said the man who he will escape from the men whom I [am] bringing on hands your life his in place of life his.
25 全燔祭奉獻完畢,耶胡吩咐衛兵和軍官說:「你們進去擊殺,一個耶不可叫他逃走! 」衛兵和軍官便用刀擊殺了他們,把他們的屍體拋出,然後進入巴耳廟的內堂,
And it was when finished he - to offer the burnt offering and he said Jehu to the runners and to the officers go strike down them anyone may not he come out and they struck down them to [the] mouth of [the] sword and they threw [them] out the runners and the officers and they went to [the] city of [the] house of Baal.
And they brought out [the] sacred pillars of [the] house of Baal and they burned it.
27 推倒了巴耳偶像,拆毀了巴耳廟,使之成為一個廁所,直到今日。
And they pulled down [the] sacred pillar of Baal and they pulled down [the] house of Baal and they made it (outhouses *Q(K)*) until this day.
And he destroyed Jehu Baal from Israel.
29 但他仍沒有離棄乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕使以色列陷於罪惡的罪:即那兩頭設在貝特耳和丹的金牛。
Only [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat which he caused to sin Israel not he turned aside Jehu from after them [the] calves of gold which [were] Beth-el and which [were] in Dan.
30 上主對耶胡說:「由於你好好執行了我視為義的事,照我心中所想的一切對待了阿哈布家,你的子孫要坐以色列的王位,直到第四代。」
And he said Yahweh to Jehu because that you have done well by doing the right in view my according to all that [was] in heart my you have done to [the] house of Ahab descendants of [the] fourth [generation] they will sit of you on [the] throne of Israel.
31 但耶胡並沒有全心謹守遵行上主以色列天主的法律,沒有放棄雅洛貝罕使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
And Jehu not he took care to walk in [the] law of Yahweh [the] God of Israel with all heart his not he turned aside from on [the] sins of Jeroboam which he caused to sin Israel.
32 那時,上主開始削弱以色列,哈匝耳也在四面邊境上攻擊以色列,
In the days those he began Yahweh to cut off in Israel and he struck down them Hazael in all [the] territory of Israel.
33 侵佔了約旦河東基肋阿得全地,即加得人,勒烏本和默納協人的地方,從阿爾農河附近的阿洛厄爾城,直到基肋阿得和巴商。
From the Jordan [the] rising of the sun all [the] land of Gilead the Gadite[s] and the Reubenite[s] and the Manassite[s] from Aroer which [is] at [the] wadi of Arnon and Gilead and Bashan.
34 耶胡其餘的事蹟,他的一切作為和武功,都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Jehu and all that he did and all might his ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Israel.
35 耶胡與列祖同眠,人將他葬在撒瑪黎雅;他的兒子約阿哈次繼位為王。
And he lay down Jehu with ancestors his and people buried him in Samaria and he became king Jehoahaz son his in place of him.
And the days which he reigned Jehu over Israel [were] twenty and eight year[s] in Samaria.
