< 列王紀下 8 >

1 以利沙曾對所救活之子的那婦人說:「你和你的全家要起身往你可住的地方去住,因為耶和華命饑荒降在這地七年。」
Then spake Elisha vnto the woman, whose sonne he had restored to life, saying, Vp, and goe, thou, and thine house, and soiourne where thou canst soiourne: for the Lord hath called for a famine, and it commeth also vpon the land seuen yeeres.
2 婦人就起身,照神人的話帶着全家往非利士地去,住了七年。
And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God, and went both shee and her housholde and soiourned in the lande of the Philistims seuen yeeres.
3 七年完了,那婦人從非利士地回來,就出去為自己的房屋田地哀告王。
And at the seuen yeeres ende, the woman returned out of the lande of the Philistims, and went out to call vpon the King for her house and for her land.
4 那時王正與神人的僕人基哈西說:「請你將以利沙所行的一切大事告訴我。」
And the King talked with Gehazi the seruant of the man of God, saying, Tell mee, I pray thee, all the great actes, that Elisha hath done.
5 基哈西告訴王以利沙如何使死人復活,恰巧以利沙所救活、她兒子的那婦人為自己的房屋田地來哀告王。基哈西說:「我主我王,這就是那婦人,這是她的兒子,就是以利沙所救活的。」
And as he told the King, howe he had restored one dead to life, behold, the woman, whose sonne he had raised to life, called vpon the King for her house and for her land. Then Gehazi sayd, My lorde, O King, this is the woman, and this is her sonne, whom Elisha restored to life.
6 王問那婦人,她就把那事告訴王。於是王為她派一個太監,說:「凡屬這婦人的都還給她,自從她離開本地直到今日,她田地的出產也都還給她。」
And when the King asked the woman, shee told him: so the King appoynted her an Eunuch, saying, Restore thou all that are hers, and all the fruites of her landes since the day shee left the land, euen vntill this time.
7 以利沙來到大馬士革,亞蘭王便‧哈達正患病。有人告訴王說:「神人來到這裏了。」
Then Elisha came to Damascus, and Ben-hadad the King of Aram was sicke, and one told him, saying, The man of God is come hither.
8 王就吩咐哈薛說:「你帶着禮物去見神人,託他求問耶和華,我這病能好不能好?」
And the king sayd vnto Hazael, Take a present in thine hande, and goe meete the man of God, that thou mayest inquire of ye Lord by him, saying, Shall I recouer of this disease?
9 於是哈薛用四十個駱駝,馱着大馬士革的各樣美物為禮物,去見以利沙。到了他那裏,站在他面前,說:「你兒子亞蘭王便‧哈達打發我來見你,他問說:『我這病能好不能好?』」
So Hazael went to meete him, and tooke the present in his hand, and of euery good thing of Damascus, euen the burden of fourtie camels, and came and stood before him, and sayde, Thy sonne Ben-hadad King of Aram hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recouer of this disease?
10 以利沙對哈薛說:「你回去告訴他說,這病必能好;但耶和華指示我,他必要死。」
And Elisha sayd to him, Goe, and say vnto him, Thou shalt recouer: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me, that he shall surely dye.
11 神人定睛看着哈薛,甚至他慚愧。神人就哭了;
And hee looked vpon him stedfastly, till Hazael was ashamed, and the man of God wept.
12 哈薛說:「我主為甚麼哭?」回答說:「因為我知道你必苦害以色列人,用火焚燒他們的保障,用刀殺死他們的壯丁,摔死他們的嬰孩,剖開他們的孕婦。」
And Hazael sayde, Why weepeth my lord? And he answered, Because I knowe the euill that thou shalt do vnto the children of Israel: for their strong cities shalt thou set on fire, and their yong men shalt thou slay with the sworde, and shalt dash their infantes against the stones, and rent in pieces their women with child.
13 哈薛說:「你僕人算甚麼,不過是一條狗,焉能行這大事呢?」以利沙回答說:「耶和華指示我,你必作亞蘭王。」
Then Hazael said, What? is thy seruant a dog, that I should doe this great thing? And Elisha answered, The Lord hath shewed mee, that thou shalt be King of Aram.
14 哈薛離開以利沙,回去見他的主人。主人問他說:「以利沙對你說甚麼?」回答說:「他告訴我你必能好。」
So he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What saide Elisha to thee? And he answered, Hee tolde mee that thou shouldest recouer.
15 次日,哈薛拿被窩浸在水中,蒙住王的臉,王就死了。於是哈薛篡了他的位。
And on the morow he tooke a thick cloth and dipt in it water, and spread it on his face, and hee dyed: and Hazael reigned in his stead.
16 以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭第五年,猶大王約沙法還在位的時候,約沙法的兒子約蘭登基作了猶大王。
Now in the fift yere of Ioram ye sonne of Ahab King of Israel, and of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, Iehoram the sonne of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah began to reigne.
17 約蘭登基的時候年三十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王八年。
He was two and thirtie yere olde, when he began to reigne: and hee reigned eight yeere in Ierusalem.
18 他行以色列諸王所行的,與亞哈家一樣;因為他娶了亞哈的女兒為妻,行耶和華眼中看為惡的事。
And hee walked in the wayes of the Kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab: for the daughter of Ahab was his wife, and hee did euill in the sight of the Lord.
19 耶和華卻因他僕人大衛的緣故,仍不肯滅絕猶大,照他所應許大衛的話,永遠賜燈光與他的子孫。
Yet the Lord would not destroy Iudah, for Dauid his seruants sake, as he had promised him to giue him a light, and to his children for euer.
20 約蘭年間,以東人背叛猶大,脫離他的權下,自己立王。
In those dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer themselues.
21 約蘭率領所有的戰車往撒益去,夜間起來,攻打圍困他的以東人和車兵長;猶大兵就逃跑,各回各家去了。
Therefore Ioram went to Zair, and all his charets with him, and he arose by night, and smote the Edomites which were about him with the captains of the charets, and the people fled into their tents.
22 這樣,以東人背叛猶大,脫離他的權下,直到今日。那時立拿人也背叛了。
So Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah vnto this day. then Libnah rebelled at that same time.
23 約蘭其餘的事,凡他所行的,都寫在猶大列王記上。
Concerning the rest of the actes of Ioram and all that hee did, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
24 約蘭與他列祖同睡,葬在大衛城他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子亞哈謝接續他作王。
And Ioram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid. And Ahaziah his sonne reigned in his stead.
25 以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭十二年,猶大王約蘭的兒子亞哈謝登基。
In the twelft yere of Ioram the sonne of Ahab King of Israel did Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah begin to reigne.
26 他登基的時候年二十二歲,在耶路撒冷作王一年。他母親名叫亞她利雅,是以色列王暗利的孫女。
Two and twentie yeere olde was Ahaziah when he began to reigne, and he reigned one yere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri King of Israel.
27 亞哈謝效法亞哈家行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,與亞哈家一樣,因為他是亞哈家的女婿。
And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did euill in the sight of the Lord, like the house of Ahab: for hee was the sonne in law of the house of Ahab.
28 他與亞哈的兒子約蘭同往基列的拉末去,與亞蘭王哈薛爭戰。亞蘭人打傷了約蘭,
And he went with Ioram the sonne of Ahab to warre against Hazael King of Aram in Ramoth Gilead, and the Aramites smote Ioram.
29 約蘭王回到耶斯列,醫治在拉末與亞蘭王哈薛打仗的時候所受的傷。猶大王約蘭的兒子亞哈謝因為亞哈的兒子約蘭病了,就下到耶斯列看望他。
And King Ioram returned to bee healed in Izreel of the wounds which ye Aramites had giuen him at Ramah, whe he fought against Hazael King of Aram. And Ahaziah the sonne of Iehoram King of Iudah went downe to see Ioram the sonne of Ahab in Izreel, because he was sicke.
