列王纪上 20
1 亚兰王便·哈达聚集他的全军，率领三十二个王，带着车马上来围攻撒马利亚；
And Nabuthai the Jezraelite had a vineyard, near the threshing floor of Achaab king of Samaria.
2 又差遣使者进城见以色列王亚哈，对他说：“便·哈达如此说：
And Achaab spoke to Nabuthai, saying, Give me your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs, for it [is] near my house: and I will give you another vineyard better than it; or if it please you, I will give you money, the price of this your vineyard, and I will have it for a garden of herbs.
3 你的金银都要归我，你妻子儿女中最美的也要归我。”
And Nabuthai said to Achaab, My God forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers.
4 以色列王回答说：“我主我王啊，可以依着你的话，我与我所有的都归你。”
And the spirit of Achaab was troubled, and he lay down upon his bed, and covered his face, and ate no bread.
5 使者又来说：“便·哈达如此说：我已差遣人去见你，要你将你的金银、妻子、儿女都给我。
And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and spoke to him, [saying], Why [is] your spirit troubled, and [why] do you eat no bread?
6 但明日约在这时候，我还要差遣臣仆到你那里，搜查你的家和你仆人的家，将你眼中一切所喜爱的都拿了去。”
And he said to her, Because I spoke to Nabuthai the Jezraelite, saying, Give me your vineyard for money; or if you will, I will give you another vineyard for it: and he said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers.
7 以色列王召了国中的长老来，对他们说：“请你们看看，这人是怎样地谋害我，他先差遣人到我这里来，要我的妻子、儿女，和金银，我并没有推辞他。”
And Jezabel his wife said to him, Do you now thus act the king over Israel? arise, and eat bread, and be your own [master], and I will give you the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
8 长老和百姓对王说：“不要听从他，也不要应允他。”
And she wrote a letter in the name of Achaab, and sealed it with his seal, and sent the letter to the elders, and to the freemen who lived with Nabuthai.
9 故此，以色列王对便·哈达的使者说：“你们告诉我主我王说：王头一次差遣人向仆人所要的，仆人都依从；但这次所要的，我不能依从。”使者就去回复便·哈达。
And it was written in the letters, saying, Keep a fast, and set Naboth in a chief place among the people.
10 便·哈达又差遣人去见亚哈说：“撒马利亚的尘土若够跟从我的人每人捧一捧的，愿神明重重地降罚与我！”
And set two men, sons of transgressors, before him, and let them testify against him, saying, He blessed God and the king: and let them lead him forth, and stone him, and let them die.
11 以色列王说：“你告诉他说，才顶盔贯甲的，休要像摘盔卸甲的夸口。”
And the men of his city, the elders, and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezabel sent to them, and as it had been written in the letters which she sent to them.
12 便·哈达和诸王正在帐幕里喝酒，听见这话，就对他臣仆说：“摆队吧！”他们就摆队攻城。
And they proclaimed a fast, and set Nebuthai in a chief place among the people.
13 有一个先知来见以色列王亚哈，说：“耶和华如此说：‘这一大群人你看见了吗？今日我必将他们交在你手里，你就知道我是耶和华。’”
And two men, sons of transgressors, came in, and sat opposite him, and bore witness against him, saying, You have blessed God and the king. And they led him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, and he died.
14 亚哈说：“借着谁呢？”他回答说：“耶和华说，借着跟从省长的少年人。”亚哈说：“要谁率领呢？”他说：“要你亲自率领。”
And they sent to Jezabel, saying, Nabuthai is stoned, and is dead.
15 于是亚哈数点跟从省长的少年人，共有二百三十二名，后又数点以色列的众兵，共有七千名。
And it came to pass, when Jezabel heard [it], that she said to Achaab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, who would not sell it to you: for Nebuthai is not alive, for he is dead.
16 午间，他们就出城；便·哈达和帮助他的三十二个王正在帐幕里痛饮。
And it came to pass, when Achaab heard that Nabuthai the Jezraelite was dead, that he tore his garments, and put on sackcloth. And it came to pass afterward, that Achaab arose and went down to the vineyard of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, to take possession of it.
17 跟从省长的少年人先出城；便·哈达差遣人去探望，他们回报说：“有人从撒马利亚出来了。”
And the Lord spoke to Eliu the Thesbite, saying,
18 他说：“他们若为讲和出来，要活捉他们；若为打仗出来，也要活捉他们。”
Arise, and go down to meet Achaab king of Israel, who is in Samaria, for he [is] in the vineyard of Nabuthai, for he has gone down there to take possession of it.
19 跟从省长的少年人出城，军兵跟随他们；
And you shall speak to him, saying, Thus says the Lord, Forasmuch as you have slain and taken possession, therefore thus says the Lord, In every place where the swine and the dogs have licked the blood of Nabuthai, there shall the dogs lick your blood; and the harlots shall wash themselves in your blood.
20 各人遇见敌人就杀。亚兰人逃跑，以色列人追赶他们；亚兰王便·哈达骑着马和马兵一同逃跑。
And Achaab said to Eliu, Hast you found me, mine enemy? and he said, I have found [you]: because you have wickedly sold yourself to work evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger;
21 以色列王出城攻打车马，大大击杀亚兰人。
behold, I bring evil upon you: and I will kindle a fire after you, and I will utterly destroy every male of Achaab, and him that is shut up and him that is left in Israel.
22 那先知来见以色列王，对他说：“你当自强，留心怎样防备；因为到明年这时候，亚兰王必上来攻击你。”
And I will make your house as the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa son of Achia, because of the provocations wherewith you have provoked [me], and caused Israel to sin.
23 亚兰王的臣仆对亚兰王说：“以色列人的神是山神，所以他们胜过我们；但在平原与他们打仗，我们必定得胜。
And the Lord spoke of Jezabel, saying, The dogs shall devour her within the fortification of Jezrael.
24 王当这样行：把诸王革去，派军长代替他们，
Him that is dead of Achaab in the city shall the dogs eat, and him that is dead of him in the field shall the birds of the sky eat.
25 又照着王丧失军兵之数，再招募一军，马补马，车补车，我们在平原与他们打仗，必定得胜。”王便听臣仆的话去行。
But Achaab [did] wickedly, in that he sold himself to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, as his wife Jezabel led him astray.
26 次年，便·哈达果然点齐亚兰人上亚弗去，要与以色列人打仗。
And he did very abominably in following after the abominations, according to all that the Amorite did, whom the Lord utterly destroyed from before the children of Israel.
27 以色列人也点齐军兵，预备食物，迎着亚兰人出去，对着他们安营，好像两小群山羊羔；亚兰人却满了地面。
And because of the word, Achaab was pierced with sorrow before the Lord, and he both went weeping, and tore his garment, and girded sackcloth upon his body, and fasted; he put on sackcloth also in the day that he struck Nabuthai the Jezraelite, and went his way.
28 有神人来见以色列王，说：“耶和华如此说：‘亚兰人既说我—耶和华是山神，不是平原的神，所以我必将这一大群人都交在你手中，你们就知道我是耶和华。’”
And the word of the Lord came by the hand of his servant Eliu concerning Achaab, and the Lord said,
29 以色列人与亚兰人相对安营七日，到第七日两军交战；那一日以色列人杀了亚兰人步兵十万，
Hast you seen how Achaab has been pricked [to the heart] before me? I will not bring on the evil in his days, but in his son's days will I bring on the evil.
30 其余的逃入亚弗城；城墙塌倒，压死剩下的二万七千人。 便·哈达也逃入城，藏在严密的屋子里。
And the son of Ader gathered all his forces, and went up and besieged Samaria, [he] and thirty-two kings with him, and all [his] horse and chariots: and they went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
31 他的臣仆对他说：“我们听说以色列王都是仁慈的王，现在我们不如腰束麻布，头套绳索，出去投降以色列王，或者他存留王的性命。”
And he sent into the city to Achaab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says the son of Ader,
32 于是他们腰束麻布，头套绳索，去见以色列王，说：“王的仆人便·哈达说，求王存留我的性命。”亚哈说：“他还活着吗？他是我的兄弟。”
Your silver and your gold are mine, and your wives and your children are mine.
33 这些人留心探出他的口气来，便急忙就着他的话说：“便·哈达是王的兄弟！”王说：“你们去请他来。”便·哈达出来见王，王就请他上车。
And the king of Israel answered and said, As you have said, my lord, O king, I am your, and all mine [also].
34 便·哈达对王说：“我父从你父那里所夺的城邑，我必归还。你可以在大马士革立街市，像我父在撒马利亚所立的一样。”亚哈说：“我照此立约，放你回去”，就与他立约，放他去了。
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus says the son of Ader, I sent to you, saying, You shall give me your silver and your gold, and your wives and your children.
35 有先知的一个门徒奉耶和华的命对他的同伴说：“你打我吧！”那人不肯打他。
For at this time to-morrow I will send my servants to you, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants, and it shall be that all the desirable objects of their eyes on which they shall lay their hands, they shall even take [them].
36 他就对那人说：“你既不听从耶和华的话，你一离开我，必有狮子咬死你。”那人一离开他，果然遇见狮子，把他咬死了。
And the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Take notice now and consider, that this man seeks mischief: for he has sent to me concerning my wives, and concerning my sons, an concerning my daughters: I have not kept back from him my silver and my gold.
37 先知的门徒又遇见一个人，对他说：“你打我吧！”那人就打他，将他打伤。
And the elders and all the people said to him, Listen not, and consent not.
38 他就去了，用头巾蒙眼，改换面目，在路旁等候王。
And he said to the messengers of the son of Ader, Say to your master, All things that you have sent to your servant about at first I will do; but this thing I shall not be able to do. And the men departed, and carried back the answer to him.
39 王从那里经过，他向王呼叫说：“仆人在阵上的时候，有人带了一个人来，对我说：‘你看守这人，若把他失了，你的性命必代替他的性命；不然，你必交出一他连得银子来。’
And the son of Ader sent to him, saying, So do God to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for foxes to all the people, even my infantry.
40 仆人正在忙乱之间，那人就不见了。”以色列王对他说：“你自己定妥了，必照样判断你。”
And the king of Israel answered and said, Let it be sufficient; let not the humpbacked boast as he that is upright.
41 他急忙除掉蒙眼的头巾，以色列王就认出他是一个先知。
And it came to pass when he returned him this answer, he and all the kings with him were drinking in tents: and he said to his servants, Form a trench. And they made a trench against the city.
42 他对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘因你将我定要灭绝的人放去，你的命就必代替他的命，你的民也必代替他的民。’”
And, behold, a prophet came to Achaab king of Israel, and said, Thus says the Lord, Hast you seen this great multitude? behold, I give it this day into your hands; and you shall know that I [am] the Lord.
43 于是以色列王闷闷不乐地回到撒马利亚，进了他的宫。
And Achaab said, Whereby? And he said, Thus says the Lord, by the young men of the heads of the districts. And Achaab said, Who shall begin the battle? and he said, You.
