< 列王纪上 22 >
Kwathatha iminyaka kungelampi phakathi kwe-Aramu le-Israyeli.
Kodwa ngomnyaka wesithathu uJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda wayabonana lenkosi yako-Israyeli.
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?”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yayike yakhuluma lezikhulu zayo isithi, “Alikwazi na ukuthi eleRamothi Giliyadi ngelethu kodwa asikenzi lutho ukuze silithathe ezandleni zenkosi yase-Aramu?”
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。”
Ngakho yasicela uJehoshafathi isithi, “Ungahamba lami na ukuze siyehlasela eRamothi Giliyadi?” UJehoshafathi ephendula inkosi yako-Israyeli wathi, “Mina ngikanye lawe, abantu bami banjengabakho, amabhiza ami anjengawakho.”
Kodwa uJehoshafathi waphinda wathi enkosini yako-Israyeli, “Akubuze kuThixo kuqala.”
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。”
Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yahlanganisa abaphrofethi abangaba ngamakhulu amane yasibabuza isithi, “Ngihambe ngiyehlasela iRamothi Giliyadi yini, loba ngiyekele na?” Abaphrofethi bathi, “Hamba ngoba iNkosi izayinikela esandleni sakho.”
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?”
Kodwa uJehoshafathi wabuza wathi, “Kambe kakusela mphrofethi kaThixo lapha esingabuza kuye na?”
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。”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi, “Ukhona oyedwa esingabuza uThixo ngaye kodwa ngiyamzonda ngoba kakaze aphrofethe okuhle ngami, uhlala ekhuluma okubi. Ibizo lakhe nguMikhaya indodana ka-Imla.” UJehoshafathi wathi, “Inkosi kayimelanga itsho njalo.”
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。”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yasibiza omunye wezikhulu zayo yathi kuye, “Phangisa ungilethele uMikhaya indodana ka-Imla.”
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。
Bembethe izembatho zabo zobukhosi, inkosi yako-Israyeli loJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda babehlezi ezihlalweni zabo zobukhosi esizeni sokubhulela amabele esangweni laseSamariya labo bonke abaphrofethi bephrofetha phambi kwabo.
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。’”
UZedekhiya indodana kaKhenana wayekhande impondo zensimbi, wasesithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguThixo, uthi: ‘Ngempondo lezi uzagwaza ama-Aramu uwabhubhise.’”
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。”
Bonke abaphrofethi babevele bephrofetha okufananayo besithi, “Hlasela iRamothi Giliyadi unqobe, ngoba uThixo uyinikile esandleni senkosi.”
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。”
Isithunywa esasithunywe ukuyabiza uMikhaya sathi kuye, “Khangela, abanye abaphrofethi bafakaza bengela kuthandabuza ukuthi inkosi izanqoba. Lawe vumelana labo, ukhulume okuyithokozisayo.”
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。”
Kodwa uMikhaya wathi, “Njengokutsho kukaThixo, mina ngizayitshela lokho engikuthunywe nguThixo.”
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。”
Ekufikeni kwakhe, inkosi yambuza yathi, “Mikhaya, sihambe siyehlasela iRamothi Giliyadi yini, loba ngiyekele na?” Yena waphendula wathi, “Hlasela njalo unqobe, ngoba uThixo uzalinikela ezandleni zakho nkosi.”
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?”
Inkosi yathi kuye, “Kumele ngikufungise kangaki ukuze ungangikhohlisi kodwa ungitshele iqiniso ebizweni likaThixo?”
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。’”
Ngakho uMikhaya waphendula wathi, “Ngabona u-Israyeli wonke ehlakazekile ezintabeni njengezimvu ezingelamelusi, kulapho uThixo athi ‘Lababantu abalamkhomkheli. Yekela bonke babuyele emakhaya ngokuthula.’”
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?”
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi, “Angikutshelanga yini ukuthi uvele kaphrofethi okuhle ngami, kodwa okubi kuphela?”
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。
UMikhaya waqhubekela phambili wathi, “Ngakho zwana ilizwi likaThixo elithi, Ngabona uThixo ehlezi esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi lamabutho wonke asezulwini emi ngakwesokunene sakhe lakwesokhohlo sakhe.
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。
Njalo uThixo wathi, ‘Ngubani ozahugela u-Ahabi ekuhlaseleni iRamothi Giliyadi ukuze ayefela khonale na?’ Omunye waqamba lokhu, lomunye okwakhe.
21 随后有一个神灵出来,站在耶和华面前,说:‘我去引诱他。’
Ekucineni kwavela umoya, wema phambi kukaThixo wathi, ‘Mina ngizamhuga.’
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!’
UThixo wabuza wathi, ‘Uzakwenza ngandlela bani?’ Umoya waphendula wathi, ‘Ngizahamba ngiyekuba ngumoya wokuqamba amanga emilonyeni yabo bonke abaphrofethi bakhe.’ UThixo wathi, ‘Uzaphumelela ukumhuga. Hamba-ke uyekwenza lokho.’
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。”
Ngakho khathesi uThixo usefake umoya wenkohliso emilonyeni yabaphrofethi bakho bonke laba. UThixo usekumisele ukubhujiswa.”
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?”
Kusenjalo uZedekhiya indodana kaKhenana wasondela, wamwakala uMikhaya ebusweni. Wabuza wathi: “Umoya kaThixo wasuka njani kimi ungena kuwe na?”
25 米该雅说:“你进严密的屋子藏躲的那日,就必看见了。”
UMikhaya waphendula wathi, “Uzazibonela mhla uzakuyacatsha endlini engaphakathi.”
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
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yalaya yathi, “Thathani uMikhaya limbuyisele ku-Amoni obusa idolobho lakoJowashi indodana yenkosi.
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。”
Liyekuthi, ‘Inkosi ithi: Valelani umuntu lo entolongweni lingamniki lutho ngaphandle kwesinkwa lamanzi ngize ngiphenduke ngokuhle.’”
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!”
UMikhaya waqonqosela wathi: “Nxa ungaphenduka kuhle, uThixo uyabe engakhulumanga ngami.” Waqhubeka wathi, “Lani lonke bantu abambisiseni amazwi ami!”
Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli loJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda baya eRamothi Giliyadi.
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。
Inkosi yako-Israyeli yathi kuJehoshafathi: “Mina ngizakuya empini ngizazifihla ngokulahlisa isimo sami, kodwa wena gqoka ezakho ezobukhosi.” Ngakho inkosi yako-Israyeli yazifihla ngokulahlisa isimo sayo yangena empini.
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。”
Inkosi yase-Aramu yayilaye abalawuli bayo bezinqola zokulwa abangamatshumi amathathu lambili yathi, “Lina lingalwi lamuntu, loba eyisikhulu loba engumuntukazana, ngaphandle kwenkosi yako-Israyeli.”
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。
Abalawuli bezinqola zokulwa bathe bebona uJehoshafathi, bahle bathi “Ngempela le yiyo kanye inkosi yako-Israyeli.” Abalawuli bezinqola zokulwa basebehlasela uJehoshafathi, yena wahlaba umkhosi,
baphanga babona ukuthi kwakungasiyo inkosi yako-Israyeli bahle bayekela ukuxotshana laye.
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!”
Umuntu othile wakhokha umtshoko wakhe watshoka engaqondanga muntu umtshoko wayaciba inkosi yako-Israyeli emkenkeni wesihlangu sayo. Inkosi yasisithi kumtshayeli wenqola yokulwa: “Phendula inqola yakho ungisuse lapha. Sengilimele.”
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。
Kwalwiwa impi kanzima ilanga lonke. Inkosi yayeyanyiswe enqoleni yayo yokulwa ikhangele ama-Aramu. Igazi lamanxeba ayo lagelezela phansi enqoleni yokulwa, kwathi Ngalokhokuhlwa yafa.
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!”
Ekutshoneni kwelanga kwamenyezelwa kuyo yonke impi ukuthi: “Abantu bonke kababuyele emizini yakibo, bonke kababuyele lowo lalowo elizweni lakibo!”
37 王既死了,众人将他送到撒马利亚,就葬在那里;
Ngakho inkosi yafa yasiwa eSamariya, yangcwatshwa khona.
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。
Inqola yokulwa bayigezisela esizibeni seSamariya (endaweni eyayigezela izifebe), izinja zakhotha igazi layo, njengokutsho kwelizwi likaThixo.
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。
Konke okunye ngempilo langokubusa kuka-Ahabi lakho konke akwenzayo, ukwakha isigodlo esasiceciswe ngempondo zezindlovu, lamadolobho ayevikelwe okwenqaba, akulotshwanga na egwalweni lwembali yamakhosi ako-Israyeli?
U-Ahabi wangcwatshwa laboyise. Ubukhosi bakhe bathathwa yindodana yakhe u-Ahaziya.
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。
UJehoshafathi indodana ka-Asa waba yinkosi yakoJuda ngomnyaka wesine wokubusa kuka-Ahabi inkosi yako-Israyeli.
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。
UJehoshafathi waba yinkosi eleminyaka engamatshumi amathathu lemihlanu yokuzalwa, wabusa eJerusalema okweminyaka engamatshumi amabili lemihlanu. Ibizo likanina kungu-Azubha indodakazi kaShilihi.
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。
Kukho konke ayekwenza wayesenyathelweni likayise u-Asa njalo kazange aphambuke; wenza konke okuhle emehlweni kaThixo. Kodwa izindawo eziphakemeyo zokukhonzela kazisuswanga, abantu babelokhu benikela imihlatshelo, betshisa impepha khonapho.
UJehoshafathi wahlalisana ngokuthula lenkosi yako-Israyeli.
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。
Okwenzakala ekubuseni kukaJehoshafathi, ukuphumelela kwakhe kanye lokunqoba ezimpini, akulotshwanga na encwadini yembali yamakhosi akoJuda?
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。
Waqeda insalela yabesilisa ababefeba emathempelini ayelokhu esasele lapho langemva kokubusa kukayise u-Asa.
Kwakungaselankosi e-Edomi, umsekeli nguye owayebusa.
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。
UJehoshafathi wakha imikhumbi yokuthutha igolide e-Ofiri, kodwa ayizange isebenze olwandle, yahle yahlikizeka, yabhidlikela e-Eziyoni-Gebheri.
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。
Ngalesosikhathi u-Ahaziya indodana ka-Ahabi wathi kuJehoshafathi, “Yekela abantu bami bahambe labakho olwandle,” kodwa uJehoshafathi wala.
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。
Ngakho uJehoshafathi waphumula labokhokho bakhe, wangcwatshwa kanye labo emzini kaDavida uyise. UJehoramu indodana yakhe wabusa esikhundleni sakhe.
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。
U-Ahaziya indodana ka-Ahabi waba yinkosi yako-Israyeli eSamariya ngomnyaka wetshumi lesikhombisa wokubusa kukaJehoshafathi inkosi yakoJuda, yena-ke wabusa ko-Israyeli okweminyaka emibili.
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。
Wona emehlweni kaThixo, ngoba wahamba enyathelweni likayise lelikanina walandela njalo izindlela zikaJerobhowamu indodana kaNebhathi, owabangela u-Israyeli ukuthi enze isono.
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。
Wasebenzela uBhali njalo wamkhonza wathukuthelisa uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, njengalokhu okwakwenziwe nguyise.
