< 列王纪下 1 >

1 亚哈死后,摩押背叛以色列。
And Moab rebelled against Israel, after the death of Achab.
2 亚哈谢在撒马利亚,一日从楼上的栏杆里掉下来,就病了;于是差遣使者说:“你们去问以革伦的神巴力·西卜,我这病能好不能好。”
And Ochozias fell through the lattices of his upper chamber which he had in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, saying to them: Go, consult Beelzebub, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my illness.
3 但耶和华的使者对提斯比人以利亚说:“你起来,去迎着撒马利亚王的使者,对他们说:‘你们去问以革伦神巴力·西卜,岂因以色列中没有 神吗?’
And an angel of the Lord spoke to Elias the Thesbite, saying: Arise, and go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them: Is there not a God in Israel, that ye go to consult Beelzebub the god of Accaron?
4 所以耶和华如此说:‘你必不下你所上的床,必定要死!’”以利亚就去了。
Wherefore thus saith the Lord: From the bed, on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die. And Elias went away.
5 使者回来见王,王问他们说:“你们为什么回来呢?”
And the messengers turned back to Ochozias. And he said to them: Why are you come back?
6 使者回答说:“有一个人迎着我们来,对我们说:‘你们回去见差你们来的王,对他说:耶和华如此说,你差人去问以革伦神巴力·西卜,岂因以色列中没有 神吗?所以你必不下所上的床,必定要死。’”
But they answered him: A man met us, and said to us: Go, and return to the king, that sent you, and you shall say to him: Thus saith the Lord: Is it because there was no God in Israel that thou sendest to Beelzebub the god of Accaron? Therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed, on which thou art gone up, but then shalt surely die.
7 王问他们说:“迎着你们来告诉你们这话的,是怎样的人?”
And he said to them: What manner of man was he who met you, and spoke these words?
8 回答说:“他身穿毛衣,腰束皮带。”王说:“这必是提斯比人以利亚。”
But they said: A hairy man with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said: It is Elias the Thesbite.
9 于是,王差遣五十夫长,带领五十人去见以利亚,他就上到以利亚那里;以利亚正坐在山顶上。五十夫长对他说:“神人哪,王吩咐你下来!”
And he sent to him a captain of fifty, and the fifty men that were under him. And he went up to him, and as he was sitting on the top of a hill, said to him: Man of God, the king hath commanded that thou come down.
10 以利亚回答说:“我若是神人,愿火从天上降下来,烧灭你和你那五十人!”于是有火从天上降下来,烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人。
And Elias answering, said to the captain of fifty: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee, and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him, and the fifty that were with him.
11 王第二次差遣一个五十夫长,带领五十人去见以利亚。五十夫长对以利亚说:“神人哪,王吩咐你快快下来!”
And again he sent to him another captain of fifty men, and his fifty with him. And he said to him: Man of God, thus saith the king: Make haste and come down.
12 以利亚回答说:“我若是神人,愿火从天上降下来,烧灭你和你那五十人!”于是 神的火从天上降下来,烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人。
Elias answering, said: If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And fire came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 王第三次差遣一个五十夫长,带领五十人去。这五十夫长上去,双膝跪在以利亚面前,哀求他说:“神人哪,愿我的性命和你这五十个仆人的性命在你眼前看为宝贵!
Again he sent a third captain of fifty men, and the fifty that were with him. And when he was come, he fell upon his knees, before Elias, and besought him and said: Man of God, despise not my life, and the lives of thy servants that are with me.
14 已经有火从天上降下来,烧灭前两次来的五十夫长和他们各自带的五十人;现在愿我的性命在你眼前看为宝贵!”
Behold fire came down from heaven, and consumed the two first captains of fifty men, and the fifties that were with them: but now I beseech thee to spare my life.
15 耶和华的使者对以利亚说:“你同着他下去,不要怕他!”以利亚就起来,同着他下去见王,
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Elias, saying: Go down with him, fear not. He arose therefore, and went down with him to the king,
16 对王说:“耶和华如此说:‘你差人去问以革伦神巴力·西卜,岂因以色列中没有 神可以求问吗?所以你必不下所上的床,必定要死!’”
And said to him: Thus saith the Lord: Because thou hast sent messengers to consult Beelzebub the god of Accaron, as though there were not a God in Israel, of whom thou mightest inquire the word; therefore from the bed on which thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down, but thou shalt surely die.
17 亚哈谢果然死了,正如耶和华借以利亚所说的话。因他没有儿子,他兄弟约兰接续他作王,正在犹大王约沙法的儿子约兰第二年。
So he died according to the word of the Lord which Elias spoke, and Joram his brother reigned in his stead, in the second year of Joram the son of Josaphat king of Juda: because he had no son.
18 亚哈谢其余所行的事都写在以色列诸王记上。
But the rest of the acts of Ochozias which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
