列王紀下 8
1 厄里叟對自己曾復活其子的婦人說：「你和你的家人，應動身往你能居住的地方去僑居，因為上主已決定，這地快要遭受七年饑荒」
Then spake Elisha vnto the woman, whose sonne he had restored to life, saying, Vp, and goe, thou, and thine house, and soiourne where thou canst soiourne: for the Lord hath called for a famine, and it commeth also vpon the land seuen yeeres.
2 那婦人就立即照天主的人所說的話作了；她和她的家人動身走了，在培肋舍特人的地方，僑居了七年。
And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God, and went both shee and her housholde and soiourned in the lande of the Philistims seuen yeeres.
3 過了七年，這婦人從培肋舍特地方回來，便去求君王，要收回自己的房屋和田地。
And at the seuen yeeres ende, the woman returned out of the lande of the Philistims, and went out to call vpon the King for her house and for her land.
4 那時，君王正與天主的人僕人革哈齊談話，說：「請你將厄里叟作的一切大事，講給我聽! 」
And the King talked with Gehazi the seruant of the man of God, saying, Tell mee, I pray thee, all the great actes, that Elisha hath done.
5 當革哈齊正向君王講述先知如何復活死人的時候，恰好厄里叟曾復活其子的那婦人，前來求君王，要收回自己的房屋和田地，革哈齊就說：「我主，大王! 這就是那婦人，這就是厄里叟所復活的那兒子。」
And as he told the King, howe he had restored one dead to life, behold, the woman, whose sonne he had raised to life, called vpon the King for her house and for her land. Then Gehazi sayd, My lorde, O King, this is the woman, and this is her sonne, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 君王問那婦人，婦人便將那件事告訴了君王；君王於是將她的事，委託給一個宦官，吩咐他說：「凡這婦人的一切，和自從她離開此地直到今日，田地裏的一切出產，都應歸還給她。」
And when the King asked the woman, shee told him: so the King appoynted her an Eunuch, saying, Restore thou all that are hers, and all the fruites of her landes since the day shee left the land, euen vntill this time.
7 厄里叟來到大馬士革時，阿蘭王本哈達得正在患病，有人告訴君王說：「天主的人到這裏來了。」
Then Elisha came to Damascus, and Ben-hadad the King of Aram was sicke, and one told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
8 君王對哈匝耳說：「你隨身帶些禮物，去拜見天主的人，託他求問上主，我這病還能好嗎﹖」
And the king sayd vnto Hazael, Take a present in thine hande, and goe meete the man of God, that thou mayest inquire of ye Lord by him, saying, Shall I recouer of this disease?
9 哈匝耳就帶了四十匹駱駝，滿載著大馬士革出產的上等禮品，前去拜見先知；到了以後，就站在先知面前說：「你的弟子阿蘭王本哈達得打發我來問你：我這病還能好嗎﹖」
So Hazael went to meete him, and tooke the present in his hand, and of euery good thing of Damascus, euen the burden of fourtie camels, and came and stood before him, and sayde, Thy sonne Ben-hadad King of Aram hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recouer of this disease?
10 厄里叟對他說：「你去告訴他：一定會好；但上主指示我：他一定要死。」
And Elisha sayd to him, Goe, and say vnto him, Thou shalt recouer: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me, that he shall surely dye.
11 厄里叟定睛凝視哈匝耳，直使哈匝耳感到慚愧。這時天主的人就哭了。
And hee looked vpon him stedfastly, till Hazael was ashamed, and the man of God wept.
12 哈匝耳問說：「我主，你為什麼哭﹖」先知回答說：「因為我已知道你將要加於以色列子民的惡行：你要放火焚毀他們的堡壘，用刀殺死他們的青年，摔死他們的兒童，剖開他們的孕婦。」
And Hazael sayde, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I knowe the euill that thou shalt do vnto the children of Israel: for their strong cities shalt thou set on fire, and their yong men shalt thou slay with the sworde, and shalt dash their infantes against the stones, and rent in pieces their women with child.
13 哈匝耳說：「你的僕人算什麼﹖只不過是一條狗，他如何能作出這樣的大事﹖」厄里叟回答說：「上主已指示給我，你要作阿蘭王。」
Then Hazael said, What? is thy seruant a dog, that I should doe this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed mee, that thou shalt be King of Aram.
14 哈匝耳就離開厄里叟，回去見他的主上；君王問他說：「厄里叟對你說了些什麼﹖」他回答說：「他告訴我：你一定會好。」
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What saide Elisha to thee? And he answered, Hee tolde mee that thou shouldest recouer.
15 到了第二天，哈匝耳拿了被衾浸在水中蒙在君王的臉上，君王就這樣死了；哈匝耳就篡位為王。
And on the morow he tooke a thick cloth and dipt in it water, and spread it on his face, and hee dyed: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 以色列王阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭五年，猶大王約沙法特的兒子約蘭登極為猶大王。
Now in the fift yere of Ioram ye sonne of Ahab King of Israel, and of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, Iehoram the sonne of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah began to reigne.
17 他即位時年三十二歲，在耶路撒冷為王八年。
He was two and thirtie yere olde, when he began to reigne: and hee reigned eight yeere in Ierusalem.
18 他走了以色列王所走的道路，像阿哈布家所行的一樣，因為他娶了阿哈布的女兒為妻，行了上主視為惡的事。
And hee walked in the wayes of the Kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife, and hee did euill in the sight of the Lord.
19 但是，上主為了他僕人達味的緣故，不願消滅猶大，因為他曾向達味應許過，他的子孫中，要永遠給他留下一盞明燈。
Yet the Lord would not destroy Iudah, for Dauid his seruants sake, as he had promised him to giue him a light, and to his children for euer.
20 約蘭年間，厄東人脫離了猶大的統治，自立為王；
In those dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer themselues.
21 那時，約蘭率領自己所有的戰車，到了匝依爾，乘夜間起來，衝出了包圍他和那些戰車長的厄東人，軍民纔得逃回自己的帳幕。
Therefore Ioram went to Zair, and all his charets with him, and he arose by night, and smote the Edomites which were about him with the captains of the charets, and the people fled into their tents.
22 這樣，厄東人脫離了猶大的統治，直到今日。同時，里貝納也背叛了猶大。
So Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah vnto this day. then Libnah rebelled at that same time.
23 約蘭其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
Concerning the rest of the actes of Ioram and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
24 約蘭與列祖同眠後，與他的列祖葬在達味城；他的兒子阿哈齊雅繼位為王。
And Ioram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid. And Ahaziah his sonne reigned in his stead.
25 以色列王阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭十二年，猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅登極為王。
In the twelft yere of Ioram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel did Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah begin to reigne.
26 他即位時，年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王一年。他的母親名叫阿塔里雅，是以色列王敖默黎的孫女。
Two and twentie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri King of Israel.
27 阿哈齊雅走了阿哈布的道路，行了上主視為惡的事，同阿哈布家一樣，因為他是阿哈布家的女婿。
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for hee was the sonne in law of the house of Ahab.
28 他同阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭往辣摩特基肋阿得去，與阿蘭王哈匝耳交戰。阿蘭人擊傷了耶曷蘭，
And he went with Ioram the sonne of Ahab to warre against Hazael King of Aram in Ramoth Gilead, and the Aramites smote Ioram.
29 耶曷蘭就回到依次勒耳，治療他在辣摩特與阿蘭人交戰時所受的傷。猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅，由於阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭患病，就下到依次勒耳去探望他。
And King Ioram returned to bee healed in Izreel of the wounds which ye Aramites had giuen him at Ramah, whe he fought against Hazael King of Aram. And Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Ioram the sonne of Ahab in Izreel, because he was sicke.
