Kings IV 9
1 And Elisaie the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up your loins, and take this cruse of oil in your hand, and go to Remmoth Galaad.
那時，先知厄里叟叫一個先知弟子來，對他說：「你束上腰，手裏拿著這瓶油，往辣摩特基肋阿得去，
2 And you shall enter there, and shall see there Ju the son of Josaphat son of Namessi, and shall go in and make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and shall bring him into a secret chamber.
一到了那裏，就去求見尼默史的孫子約沙法特的兒子耶胡；得見後，叫他離開同僚，領踢進入一間內室，
3 And you shall take the cruse of oil, and pour [it] on his head, and say you, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you king over Israel: and you shall open the door, and flee, and not wait.
將這瓶油倒在他的頭上說：上主這樣說：我傅你為以色列王。然後，開門逃走，不要逗留。」
4 And the young man the prophet went to Remmoth Galaad.
那青年人，即那青年先知就往辣摩特基肋阿得去了。
5 And he went in, and, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have a message to you, O captain. And Ju said, To which of all us? And he said, To you, O captain.
他到了那裏，看見眾將軍都在坐，青年人遂說：「將軍，我有話對你說。」耶胡問說：「我們中，你要對那一個說話﹖」他答說：「將軍，就是你。」
6 And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said to him, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed you to be king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
耶胡站起來，進了內室，那青年人就將油倒在他頭上，對他說：「上主以色列的天主這樣說：我傅你為上主的人民以色列的君王。
7 And you shall utterly destroy the house of Achaab your master from before me, and shall avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezabel,
你要消滅你主上阿哈布的家，使我在依則貝耳身上，為我的僕人先知和上主的一切僕人報寫仇。
8 and at the hand of the whole house of Achaab: and you shall utterly cut off from the house of Achaab every male, and him that is shut up and left in Israel.
阿哈布的全家必要喪亡；我要消滅以色列凡屬於阿哈布的一切男人，無論是自由的，或不自由的。
9 And I will make the house of Achaab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and as the house of Baasa the son of Achia.
我要使阿哈布家像乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕家，又像阿希雅的兒子巴厄沙家一樣；
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
於依則貝耳，狗要在依次勒耳的田間吞食她，沒有人來埋怨。」那青年人說完，就開門逃走了。
11 And Ju went forth to the servants of his lord, and they said to him, [Is] all well? Why came this mad fellow in to you? And he said to them, You know the man, and his communication.
耶胡出來回到他主上的臣僕那裏，他們問他說：「一切都好嗎﹖那瘋子來見你有什麼事﹖」耶胡答說：「你們應認識這個人，也知道他說些什麼。」
12 And they said, [It is] wrong: tell us now. And Ju said to them, Thus and thus spoke he to me, saying, —and he said, Thus says the Lord, I have anointed you to be king over Israel.
他們說：「定說些胡話! 請給我們說說! 」耶胡遂說：「他如此如此告訴我說：上主這樣說：我傅你為以色列王。」
13 And when they heard it, they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with the trumpet, and said, Ju is king.
他們一聽，急忙將自己的衣服舖在光台階他的腳下，吹角喊說：「耶胡作王了! 」
14 So Ju the son of Josaphat the son of Namessi conspired against Joram, and Joram was defending Remmoth Galaad, he and all Israel, because of Azael king of Syria.
尼默史的孫子約沙法特的兒子耶胡於是背叛了耶曷蘭。─那時，耶曷蘭曾率領全以色列人在辣摩特基肋阿得，對抗阿蘭君王哈匝耳。
15 And king Joram had returned to be healed in Jezrael of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, in his war with Azael king of Syria. And Ju said, If your heart is with me, let there not go forth out of the city one fugitive to go and report to Jezrael.
但耶曷蘭已回了依次勒耳，治療他與阿蘭王哈匝耳交戰時，被阿蘭人所射的創傷。─耶胡說：「如果這件事合你們的心意，那麼就不要讓任何人逃出城去，到依次勒耳報信。」
16 And Ju rode and advanced, and came down to Jezrael; for Joram king of Israel was getting healed in Jezrael of the arrow-wounds wherewith the Syrians [had] wounded him in Rammath in the war with Azael king of Syria; for he [was] strong and a mighty man: and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to see Joram.
耶胡於是親自駕車去了依次勒耳，因為耶曷蘭正在那裏臥病未起；猶大王阿哈齊雅也下到那裏去探望他。
17 And there went up a watchman upon the tower of Jezrael, and saw the dust [made by] Ju as he approached; and he said, I see dust. And Joram said, Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Peace.
站在依次勒耳堡壘上的守兵，見有耶胡的兵隊來到，就喊叫說：「我看見了一大隊人馬! 」耶曷蘭下令說：「叫一個騎兵來，派他去探問他們說：都平安嗎﹖」
18 And there went a horseman to meet them, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me. And the watchman reported, saying, The messenger came up to them, and has not returned.
騎兵就去迎接耶胡說：「王問：都平安嗎﹖」耶胡答說：「平安不平安與你何干﹖轉到我後面去! 」守兵隨號報告說：「使者到了他們那裏，卻沒有回來。」
19 And he sent another horseman, and he came to him, and said, Thus says the king, Peace. And Ju said, What have you to do with peace? turn behind me.
耶曷蘭又打發第二個騎兵去，這騎兵到了他們那裏說：「王問：都平安嗎﹖」耶胡答說：「平安不平安與你何干？轉到我後面去！」
20 And the watchman reported, saying, He came up to them, and has not returned: and the driver drives Ju the son of Namessi, for it is with furious [haste].
守兵隨後又報告說：「他到了他們你裏，也沒有回來；那駕車法很像尼默史的孫子耶胡的駕駛法，駕得很狂猛。」
21 And Joram said, Make ready. And one made ready the chariot: and Joram the king of Israel went forth, and Ochozias king of Juda, each in his chariot, and they went to meet Ju, and found him in the portion of Nabuthai the Jezraelite.
耶曷蘭遂即吩咐說：「套車! 」人就套好他的車。以色列王耶曷蘭和猶大王阿哈齊雅出來，各自上車，去迎接耶胡，在依次勒耳人納波特的莊田那裏，迎上了他。
22 And it came to pass when Joram saw Ju, that he said, [Is it] peace, Ju? And Ju said, How [can it be] peace? as yet [there are] the whoredoms of your mother Jezabel, and her abundant witchcrafts.
耶曷蘭一見耶胡就問說：「耶胡! 都平安嗎﹖」耶胡回答說：「你母親依則貝耳的淫行和妖術那樣多，還有什麼平安﹖」
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ochozias, Treachery, Ochozias.
耶曷蘭即刻轉車逃走，對阿哈齊雅說：「阿喝齊雅，他反了! 」
24 And Ju bent his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms, and his arrow went out at his heart, and he bowed upon his knees.
耶胡用手拉弓，射中了耶曷蘭兩臂之間，箭從心窩穿出，耶曷蘭就倒在車上。
25 And [Ju] said to Badecar his chief officer, Cast him into the portion of ground of Nabuthai the Jezraelite, for I and you remember, riding [as we were] on chariots after Achaab his father, that the Lord took up this burden against him, [saying],
耶胡吩咐自己的侍衛彼德卡說：「將他抬起，丟在依次肋耳人納波特的莊田裏! 你該記得：當我你二人一起駕車跟隨他父親阿哈布時，上主即向他宣布了這個神諭：「
26 Surely, I have seen yesterday the blood of Nabuthai, and the blood of his sons, says the Lord; and I will recompense him in this portion, says the Lord. Now then, I pray you, take him up and cast him into the portion, according to the word of the Lord.
昨天我確實看見了納波特和他兒子們的血，上主的斷語；我必要在這塊田地裏面報復你，上主的斷語。所以現在，你要照上主的話，將他抬起，丟在這塊田地裏。」
27 And Ochozias king of Juda saw [it], and fled by the way of Baethgan. And Ju pursued after him, and said, [Slay] him also. And one struck him in the chariot at the going up of Gai, which is Jeblaam: and he fled to Mageddo, and died there.
猶大王阿哈齊雅見了這事，就向貝特干逃去，耶胡追趕他，吩咐說：「也將他射殺在車上! 」果然，在離依貝肋罕不遠的古爾山坡上，把他射傷；他逃到默基多，就死在那裏。
28 And his servants put him on a chariot, and brought him to Jerusalem, and they buried him in his sepulchre in the city of David.
他的臣僕用車把他送到耶路撒冷，與祖先葬在達味城，他自己的墳墓裏。
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram king of Israel, Ochozias began to reign over Juda.
阿哈齊雅登極為猶大王，是在阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭在位第十一年。
30 And Ju came to Jezrael; and Jezabel heard [of it], and coloured her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked through the window.
當耶胡來到依次勒耳時，依則貝耳就聽說了，遂畫眉梳頭，從窗戶往外眺望，
31 And Ju entered into the city; and she said, Had Zambri, the murderer of his master, peace?
見耶胡進城門的時候，她便問說：「弒殺主上的齊默黎，你平安嗎﹖」
32 And he lifted up his face towards the window, and saw her, and said, Who are you? Come down with me. And two eunuchs looked down towards him.
耶胡舉目看見那窗戶說：「誰擁護我﹖誰﹖」有兩三個太監從窗戶裏往下看他。
33 And he said, Throw her [down]. And they threw her [down]; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and they trampled on her.
耶胡說：「把她推下來! 」他們便把她推下來，她的血濺在牆上和馬身上；馬在她身上踏過。
34 And [Ju] went in and ate and drank, and said, Look now, after this cursed woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.
耶胡進去，吃喝完了，吩咐說：「你們去料理那可詛咒的女人，將她埋怨，因為她究竟是君王的女兒。」
35 And they went to bury her; but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
但是，當他們去埋葬她時，只找到了她的頭蓋、腳和手掌，
36 And they returned and told him. And he said, [It is] the word of the Lord, which he spoke by the hand of Eliu the Thesbite, saying, In the portion of Jezrael shall the dogs eat the flesh of Jezabel.
遂回來告訴耶胡。耶胡說：「這正應驗了上主藉自己的僕人提市貝人厄里亞所說的話：在依次勒耳的莊田裏，狗要吞食依則貝耳的肉；
37 And the carcass of Jezabel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezrael, so that they shall not say, [This is] Jezabel.
依則貝耳的屍首要成為依次勒耳田地裏的糞土，以致人不能說：這是依則貝耳。」
