< 列王紀下 10 >

1 亞哈有七十個兒子在撒馬利亞。耶戶寫信送到撒馬利亞,通知耶斯列的首領,就是長老和教養亞哈眾子的人,說:
And [belonged] to Ahab seventy sons in Samaria and he wrote Jehu letters and he sent [them] Samaria to [the] officials of Jezreel the elders and to the guardians Ahab saying.
2 「你們那裏既有你們主人的眾子和車馬、器械、堅固城,
And now (when comes *LB(ah)*) the letter this to you and [are] with you [the] sons of master your and [are] with you chariotry and horses and a city of fortification and weaponry.
3 接了這信,就可以在你們主人的眾子中選擇一個賢能合宜的,使他坐他父親的位,你們也可以為你們主人的家爭戰。」
And you will see the good and the right of [the] sons of master your and you will set [him] on [the] throne of father his and fight on [the] house of master your.
4 他們卻甚懼怕,彼此說:「二王在他面前尚且站立不住,我們怎能站得住呢?」
And they were afraid very very and they said there! [the] two the kings not they stood before him and how? will we stand we.
5 家宰、邑宰,和長老,並教養眾子的人,打發人去見耶戶,說:「我們是你的僕人,凡你所吩咐我們的都必遵行,我們不立誰作王,你看怎樣好就怎樣行。」
And he sent [the one] who [was] over the house and [the one] who [was] over the city and the elders and the guardians to Jehu - saying [are] servants your we and all that you will say to us we will do not we will make king anyone the good in view your do.
6 耶戶又給他們寫信說:「你們若歸順我,聽從我的話,明日這時候,要將你們主人眾子的首級帶到耶斯列來見我。」那時王的兒子七十人都住在教養他們那城中的尊貴人家裏。
And he wrote to them a letter - second saying if [belong] to me you and to voice my - you [are] listening take [the] heads of [the] men of [the] sons of master your and come to me about this time tomorrow Jezreel towards and [the] sons of the king seventy man [were] with [the] great [people] of the city [who] were bringing up them.
7 信一到,他們就把王的七十個兒子殺了,將首級裝在筐裏,送到在耶斯列的耶戶那裏。
And it was when came the letter to them and they took [the] sons of the king and they slaughtered seventy man and they put heads their in baskets and they sent [them] to him Jezreel towards.
8 有使者來告訴耶戶說:「他們將王眾子的首級送來了。」耶戶說:「將首級在城門口堆作兩堆,擱到明日。」
And he came the messenger and he told to him saying they have brought [the] heads of [the] sons of the king and he said make them two heaps [the] entrance of the gate until the morning.
9 次日早晨,耶戶出來,站着對眾民說:「你們都是公義的,我背叛我主人,將他殺了;這些人卻是誰殺的呢?
And it was in the morning and he went out and he stood and he said to all the people [are] righteous you here! I I conspired on master my and I killed him and who? did he strike down all these.
10 由此可知,耶和華指着亞哈家所說的話一句沒有落空,因為耶和華藉他僕人以利亞所說的話都成就了。」
Know then that not it will fall any of [the] word of Yahweh [the] ground towards which he has spoken Yahweh on [the] house of Ahab and Yahweh he has done [that] which he spoke by [the] hand of servant his Elijah.
11 凡亞哈家在耶斯列所剩下的人和他的大臣、密友、祭司,耶戶盡都殺了,沒有留下一個。
And he struck down Jehu all those [who] remained of [the] house of Ahab in Jezreel and all great [men] his and acquaintances his and priests his until not he had left to him a survivor.
12 耶戶起身往撒馬利亞去。在路上、牧人剪羊毛之處,
And he arose and he went and he went Samaria he [was at] Beth Eked of [the] Shepherds on [the] way.
13 遇見猶大王亞哈謝的弟兄,問他們說:「你們是誰?」回答說:「我們是亞哈謝的弟兄,現在下去要問王和太后的眾子安。」
And Jehu he found [the] brothers of Ahaziah [the] king of Judah and he said who? [are] you and they said [are] [the] brothers of Ahaziah we and we have come down for [the] peace of [the] sons of the king and [the] sons of the queen-mother.
14 耶戶吩咐說:「活捉他們!」跟從的人就活捉了他們,將他們殺在剪羊毛之處的坑邊,共四十二人,沒有留下一個。
And he said seize them alive and they seized them alive and they slaughtered them to [the] pit of Beth Eked forty and two man and not he spared anyone from them.
15 耶戶從那裏前行,恰遇利甲的兒子約拿達來迎接他,耶戶問他安,對他說:「你誠心待我像我誠心待你嗎?」約拿達回答說:「是。」耶戶說:「若是這樣,你向我伸手」,他就伸手;耶戶拉他上車。
And he went from there and he found Jonadab [the] son of Rechab to meet him and he blessed him and he said to him ¿ [is] there with heart your right just as heart my [is] with heart your and he said Jonadab there is and there is give! hand your and he gave hand his and he took up him to himself into the chariot.
16 耶戶說:「你和我同去,看我為耶和華怎樣熱心」;於是請他坐在車上,
And he said come! with me and look on zeal my for Yahweh and they made ride him in chariot his.
17 到了撒馬利亞,就把撒馬利亞的亞哈家剩下的人都殺了,直到滅盡,正如耶和華對以利亞所說的。
And he came Samaria and he struck down all those [who] remained of Ahab in Samaria until he had destroyed him according to [the] word of Yahweh which he had spoken to Elijah.
18 耶戶招聚眾民,對他們說:「亞哈事奉巴力還冷淡,耶戶卻更熱心。
And he gathered Jehu all the people and he said to them Ahab he served Baal a little Jehu he will serve him much.
19 現在我要給巴力獻大祭。應當叫巴力的眾先知和一切拜巴力的人,並巴力的眾祭司,都到我這裏來,不可缺少一個;凡不來的必不得活。」耶戶這樣行,是用詭計要殺盡拜巴力的人。
And therefore all [the] prophets of Baal all [those who] serve him and all priests his summon to me anyone may not he be missing for a sacrifice great [belongs] to me to Baal any [one] who he will be missing not he will live and Jehu he acted with guile so as to destroy [those who] serve Baal.
20 耶戶說:「要為巴力宣告嚴肅會!」於是宣告了。
And he said Jehu consecrate an assembly to Baal and they proclaimed [it].
21 耶戶差人走遍以色列地;凡拜巴力的人都來齊了,沒有一個不來的。他們進了巴力廟,巴力廟中從前邊直到後邊都滿了人。
And he sent Jehu in all Israel and they came all [those who] serve Baal and not he was left anyone who not he came and they went [the] house of Baal and it was filled [the] house of Baal mouth to mouth.
22 耶戶吩咐掌管禮服的人說:「拿出禮服來,給一切拜巴力的人穿。」他就拿出禮服來給了他們。
And he said to [the one] who [was] over the wardrobe bring out clothing for all [those who] serve Baal and he brought out for them the clothing.
23 耶戶和利甲的兒子約拿達進了巴力廟,對拜巴力的人說:「你們察看察看,在你們這裏不可有耶和華的僕人,只可容留拜巴力的人。」
And he went Jehu and Jonadab [the] son of Rechab [the] house of Baal and he said to [those who] serve Baal search and see lest there here with you [be] any of [the] servants of Yahweh that except [those who] serve Baal to alone them.
24 耶戶和約拿達進去,獻平安祭和燔祭。 耶戶先安派八十人在廟外,吩咐說:「我將這些人交在你們手中,若有一人脫逃,誰放的必叫他償命!」
And they went to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings and Jehu he had stationed himself on the outside eighty man and he had said the man who he will escape from the men whom I [am] bringing on hands your life his in place of life his.
25 耶戶獻完了燔祭,就出來吩咐護衛兵和眾軍長說:「你們進去殺他們,不容一人出來!」護衛兵和軍長就用刀殺他們,將屍首拋出去,便到巴力廟的城去了,
And it was when finished he - to offer the burnt offering and he said Jehu to the runners and to the officers go strike down them anyone may not he come out and they struck down them to [the] mouth of [the] sword and they threw [them] out the runners and the officers and they went to [the] city of [the] house of Baal.
26 將巴力廟中的柱像都拿出來燒了;
And they brought out [the] sacred pillars of [the] house of Baal and they burned it.
27 毀壞了巴力柱像,拆毀了巴力廟作為廁所,直到今日。
And they pulled down [the] sacred pillar of Baal and they pulled down [the] house of Baal and they made it (outhouses *Q(K)*) until this day.
28 這樣,耶戶在以色列中滅了巴力。
And he destroyed Jehu Baal from Israel.
29 只是耶戶不離開尼八的兒子耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪,就是拜伯特利和但的金牛犢。
Only [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat which he caused to sin Israel not he turned aside Jehu from after them [the] calves of gold which [were] Beth-el and which [were] in Dan.
30 耶和華對耶戶說:「因你辦好我眼中看為正的事,照我的心意待亞哈家,你的子孫必接續你坐以色列的國位,直到四代。」
And he said Yahweh to Jehu because that you have done well by doing the right in view my according to all that [was] in heart my you have done to [the] house of Ahab descendants of [the] fourth [generation] they will sit of you on [the] throne of Israel.
31 只是耶戶不盡心遵守耶和華-以色列上帝的律法,不離開耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪。
And Jehu not he took care to walk in [the] law of Yahweh [the] God of Israel with all heart his not he turned aside from on [the] sins of Jeroboam which he caused to sin Israel.
32 在那些日子,耶和華才割裂以色列國,使哈薛攻擊以色列的境界,
In the days those he began Yahweh to cut off in Israel and he struck down them Hazael in all [the] territory of Israel.
33 乃是約旦河東、基列全地,從靠近亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥起,就是基列和巴珊的迦得人、呂便人、瑪拿西人之地。
From the Jordan [the] rising of the sun all [the] land of Gilead the Gadite[s] and the Reubenite[s] and the Manassite[s] from Aroer which [is] at [the] wadi of Arnon and Gilead and Bashan.
34 耶戶其餘的事,凡他所行的和他的勇力都寫在以色列諸王記上。
And [the] rest of [the] matters of Jehu and all that he did and all might his ¿ not [are] they written on [the] scroll of [the] matters of the days of [the] kings of Israel.
35 耶戶與他列祖同睡,葬在撒馬利亞;他兒子約哈斯接續他作王。
And he lay down Jehu with ancestors his and people buried him in Samaria and he became king Jehoahaz son his in place of him.
36 耶戶在撒馬利亞作以色列王二十八年。
And the days which he reigned Jehu over Israel [were] twenty and eight year[s] in Samaria.
