列王纪上 22
1 亚兰国和以色列国三年没有争战。
And there continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 到第三年，犹大王约沙法下去见以色列王。
But it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down unto the king of Israel.
3 以色列王对臣仆说：“你们不知道基列的拉末是属我们的吗？我们岂可静坐不动，不从亚兰王手里夺回来吗？”
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that, ours, is Ramoth-gilead, —yet, we, are too idle to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 亚哈问约沙法说：“你肯同我去攻取基列的拉末吗？”约沙法对以色列王说：“你我不分彼此，我的民与你的民一样，我的马与你的马一样。”
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to make war upon Ramoth-gilead?
5 约沙法对以色列王说：“请你先求问耶和华。”
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people are us thy people, my horses as thy horses.
6 于是以色列王招聚先知，约有四百人，问他们说：“我上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以？”他们说：“可以上去，因为主必将那城交在王的手里。”
Then said Jehoshaphat unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, at once, the word of Yahweh. So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them—Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead, to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, that the Lord may deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 约沙法说：“这里不是还有耶和华的先知，我们可以求问他吗？”
Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?
8 以色列王对约沙法说：“还有一个人，是音拉的儿子米该雅，我们可以托他求问耶和华。只是我恨他；因为他指着我所说的预言，不说吉语，单说凶言。”约沙法说：“王不必这样说。”
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Besides, is a certain man, by whom we might seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only evil, Micaiah, son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 以色列王就召了一个太监来，说：“你快去，将音拉的儿子米该雅召来。”
Then the king of Israel called a certain courtier, —and said, Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.
10 以色列王和犹大王约沙法在撒马利亚城门前的空场上，各穿朝服，坐在位上，所有的先知都在他们面前说预言。
Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting—each man upon his throne, having put on robes, in a level place, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy before them;
11 基拿拿的儿子西底家造了两个铁角，说：“耶和华如此说：‘你要用这角抵触亚兰人，直到将他们灭尽。’”
when Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, —With these, shalt thou push down the Syrians, until thou hast consumed them.
12 所有的先知也都这样预言说：“可以上基列的拉末去，必然得胜，因为耶和华必将那城交在王的手中。”
And, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy, in like manner, saying, —Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and thou shalt prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it, into the hand of the king.
13 那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅 说：“众先知一口同音地都向王说吉言，你不如与他们说一样的话，也说吉言。”
Now, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Behold, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good, as touching the king, let thy word, I pray thee, be as the word of one of them, so wilt thou speak that which is good.
14 米该雅说：“我指着永生的耶和华起誓，耶和华对我说什么，我就说什么。”
And Micaiah said, —By the life of Yahweh, what Yahweh saith unto me, that, will I, speak.
15 米该雅到王面前，王问他说：“米该雅啊，我们上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以？”他回答说：“可以上去，必然得胜，耶和华必将那城交在王的手中。”
So he came unto the king, and the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said unto him—Go up and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 王对他说：“我当嘱咐你几次，你才奉耶和华的名向我说实话呢？”
And the king said unto him, How many times must, I, adjure thee, —that thou speak unto me nothing but truth, in the name of Yahweh?
17 米该雅说：“我看见以色列众民散在山上，如同没有牧人的羊群一般。耶和华说：‘这民没有主人，他们可以平平安安地各归各家去。’”
And he said—I saw all Israel, scattered among the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, —so Yahweh said, These have, no masters, let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.
18 以色列王对约沙法说：“我岂没有告诉你，这人指着我所说的预言，不说吉语单说凶言吗？”
Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Did I not say unto thee, He will not be moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only calamity.
19 米该雅说：“你要听耶和华的话！我看见耶和华坐在宝座上，天上的万军侍立在他左右。
Then he said, Therefore, hear thou the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and all the host of the heavens, standing by him, on his right hand, and on his left.
20 耶和华说：‘谁去引诱亚哈上基列的拉末去阵亡呢？’这个就这样说，那个就那样说。
And Yahweh said, Who will persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall, at Ramoth-gilead? And, one, said in this manner, and, another, said in that manner.
21 随后有一个神灵出来，站在耶和华面前，说：‘我去引诱他。’
Then came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said—I, will persuade him.
22 耶和华问他说：‘你用何法呢？’他说：‘我去，要在他众先知口中作谎言的灵。’耶和华说：‘这样，你必能引诱他，你去如此行吧！’
And Yahweh said unto him—Wherewith? And he said—I will go forth, and become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets, —So he said, —Thou mayest persuade, yea and prevail, go forth, and do so.
23 现在耶和华使谎言的灵入了你这些先知的口，并且耶和华已经命定降祸与你。”
Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of all these thy prophets. But, Yahweh himself, hath spoken concerning thee, calamity.
24 基拿拿的儿子西底家前来，打米该雅的脸，说：“耶和华的灵从哪里离开我与你说话呢？”
Then drew near Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, —and said—Where then passed the Spirit of Yahweh, from me, to speak unto thee?
25 米该雅说：“你进严密的屋子藏躲的那日，就必看见了。”
Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou art about to see, on that day, —when thou enterest a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
26 以色列王说：“将米该雅带回，交给邑宰亚们和王的儿子约阿施，说
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon captain of the city, —and unto Joash son of the king;
27 王如此说，把这个人下在监里，使他受苦，吃不饱喝不足，等候我平平安安地回来。”
and thou shalt say—Thus, saith the king, Put this man into the prison, —and let him eat the bread of oppression, with the water of oppression, until I enter in peace.
28 米该雅说：“你若能平平安安地回来，那就是耶和华没有借我说这话了”；又说：“众民哪，你们都要听！”
Then said Micaiah, If thou, return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you!
29 以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了。
So the king of Israel went up, with Jehoshaphat king of Judah, unto Ramoth-gilead.
30 以色列王对约沙法说：“我要改装上阵，你可以仍穿王服。”以色列王就改装上阵。
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat—I am about to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, thou, therefore, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.
31 先是亚兰王吩咐他的三十二个车兵长说：“他们的兵将，无论大小，你们都不可与他们争战，只要与以色列王争战。”
Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, thirty and two, saying, Ye shall not fight with small or great, —save with the king of Israel alone.
32 车兵长看见约沙法，便说：“这必是以色列王！”就转过去与他争战，约沙法便呼喊。
And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said: Surely it is, the king of Israel! But, when they turned aside against him to fight, Jehoshaphat cried out.
33 车兵长见不是以色列王，就转去不追他了。
And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was, not the king of Israel, that they turned back, from pursuing him.
34 有一人随便开弓，恰巧射入以色列王的甲缝里。王对赶车的说：“我受了重伤，你转过车来，拉我出阵吧！”
But, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel, between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to his charioteer—Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore wounded.
35 那日，阵势越战越猛，有人扶王站在车上，抵挡亚兰人。到晚上，王就死了，血从伤处流在车中。
But the battle increased that day, and, the king, was propped up in the chariot, before the Syrians, —and died in the evening, and so the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.
36 约在日落的时候，有号令传遍军中，说：“各归本城，各归本地吧！”
And a loud cry went through the host, at the going in of the sun, saying—Every man to his own city! and every man to his own land!
37 王既死了，众人将他送到撒马利亚，就葬在那里；
So the king died, and was brought into Samaria, —and they buried the king, in Samaria.
38 又有人把他的车洗在撒马利亚的池旁（妓女在那里洗澡），狗来舔他的血，正如耶和华所说的话。
And, when the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria, the dogs lapped up his blood, also, the harlots, bathed [there], —according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
39 亚哈其余的事，凡他所行的和他所修造的象牙宫，并所建筑的一切城邑，都写在以色列诸王记上。
Now, the rest of the story of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40 亚哈与他列祖同睡。他儿子亚哈谢接续他作王。
So Ahab slept with his fathers, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.
41 以色列王亚哈第四年，亚撒的儿子约沙法登基作了犹大王。
Now, Jehoshaphat son of Asa, began to reign over Judah, —in the fourth year of Ahab, king of Israel.
42 约沙法登基的时候年三十五岁，在耶路撒冷作王二十五年。他母亲名叫阿苏巴，乃示利希的女儿。
Jehoshaphat, was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
43 约沙法行他父亲亚撒所行的道，不偏离左右，行耶和华眼中看为正的事；只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。
And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, he turned not aside therefrom, —doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless, the high places, were not taken away, —still were the people offering sacrifices and burning incense in the high places.
44 约沙法与以色列王和好。
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 约沙法其余的事和他所显出的勇力，并他怎样争战，都写在犹大列王记上。
Now, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
46 约沙法将他父亲亚撒在世所剩下的娈童都从国中除去了。
Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.
47 那时以东没有王，有总督治理。
And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.
48 约沙法制造他施船只，要往俄斐去，将金子运来；只是没有去，因为船在以旬·迦别破坏了。
Jehoshaphat, made ships of Tarshish, to go to Ophir, for gold; but they went not, —for ships had been broken to pieces in Ezion-geber.
49 亚哈的儿子亚哈谢对约沙法说：“容我的仆人和你的仆人坐船同去吧！”约沙法却不肯。
Then, said Ahaziah son of Ahab, unto Jehoshaphat, Let, my servants, go with, thy servants, in the ships, —but Jehoshaphat did not consent.
50 约沙法与列祖同睡。葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子约兰接续他作王。
So Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, —and, Jehoram his son, reigned, in his stead.
51 犹大王约沙法十七年，亚哈的儿子亚哈谢在撒马利亚登基，作以色列王共二年。
Ahaziah son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, —and reigned over Israel, two years.
52 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，效法他的父母，又行尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的 事。
And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused, Israel, to sin.
53 他照他父亲一切所行的，事奉敬拜巴力，惹耶和华—以色列 神的怒气。
Yea he served Baal, and bowed down to him, —and provoked to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
