2 Kings 8
1 And Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Rise up and go, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn; for Jehovah has called for a famine, and it shall also come upon the land for seven years.
厄里叟對自己曾復活其子的婦人說：「你和你的家人，應動身往你能居住的地方去僑居，因為上主已決定，這地快要遭受七年饑荒」
2 And the woman rose up, and did according to the saying of the man of God, and went, she and her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
那婦人就立即照天主的人所說的話作了；她和她的家人動身走了，在培肋舍特人的地方，僑居了七年。
3 And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines; and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
過了七年，這婦人從培肋舍特地方回來，便去求君王，要收回自己的房屋和田地。
4 And the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha has done.
那時，君王正與天主的人僕人革哈齊談話，說：「請你將厄里叟作的一切大事，講給我聽! 」
5 And it came to pass as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.
當革哈齊正向君王講述先知如何復活死人的時候，恰好厄里叟曾復活其子的那婦人，前來求君王，要收回自己的房屋和田地，革哈齊就說：「我主，大王! 這就是那婦人，這就是厄里叟所復活的那兒子。」
6 And the king asked the woman, and she told him. And the king appointed a certain chamberlain, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the revenue of the land since the day that she left the country even until now.
君王問那婦人，婦人便將那件事告訴了君王；君王於是將她的事，委託給一個宦官，吩咐他說：「凡這婦人的一切，和自從她離開此地直到今日，田地裏的一切出產，都應歸還給她。」
7 And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-Hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him saying, The man of God is come hither.
厄里叟來到大馬士革時，阿蘭王本哈達得正在患病，有人告訴君王說：「天主的人到這裏來了。」
8 And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in thy hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
君王對哈匝耳說：「你隨身帶些禮物，去拜見天主的人，託他求問上主，我這病還能好嗎﹖」
9 And Hazael went to meet him, and took with him a present, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden; and he came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover from this disease?
哈匝耳就帶了四十匹駱駝，滿載著大馬士革出產的上等禮品，前去拜見先知；到了以後，就站在先知面前說：「你的弟子阿蘭王本哈達得打發我來問你：我這病還能好嗎﹖」
10 And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, Thou wilt certainly recover. But Jehovah has shewn me that he shall certainly die.
厄里叟對他說：「你去告訴他：一定會好；但上主指示我：他一定要死。」
11 And he settled his countenance stedfastly, until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept.
厄里叟定睛凝視哈匝耳，直使哈匝耳感到慚愧。這時天主的人就哭了。
12 And Hazael said, Why does my lord weep? And he said, Because I know the evil that thou wilt do to the children of Israel: their strongholds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou kill with the sword, and wilt dash in pieces their children, and rip up their women with child.
哈匝耳問說：「我主，你為什麼哭﹖」先知回答說：「因為我已知道你將要加於以色列子民的惡行：你要放火焚毀他們的堡壘，用刀殺死他們的青年，摔死他們的兒童，剖開他們的孕婦。」
13 And Hazael said, But what, is thy servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Jehovah has shewn me that thou wilt be king over Syria.
哈匝耳說：「你的僕人算什麼﹖只不過是一條狗，他如何能作出這樣的大事﹖」厄里叟回答說：「上主已指示給我，你要作阿蘭王。」
14 And he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to thee? And he said, He told me [that] thou wouldest certainly recover.
哈匝耳就離開厄里叟，回去見他的主上；君王問他說：「厄里叟對你說了些什麼﹖」他回答說：「他告訴我：你一定會好。」
15 And it came to pass the next day, that he took the coverlet and dipped [it] in water, and spread it over his face, so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his stead.
到了第二天，哈匝耳拿了被衾浸在水中蒙在君王的臉上，君王就這樣死了；哈匝耳就篡位為王。
16 And in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, began to reign.
以色列王阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭五年，猶大王約沙法特的兒子約蘭登極為猶大王。
17 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
他即位時年三十二歲，在耶路撒冷為王八年。
18 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the sight of Jehovah.
他走了以色列王所走的道路，像阿哈布家所行的一樣，因為他娶了阿哈布的女兒為妻，行了上主視為惡的事。
19 But Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him to give him always a lamp for his sons.
但是，上主為了他僕人達味的緣故，不願消滅猶大，因為他曾向達味應許過，他的子孫中，要永遠給他留下一盞明燈。
20 In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they set a king over themselves.
約蘭年間，厄東人脫離了猶大的統治，自立為王；
21 And Joram went over to Zair, and all the chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites who had surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled into their tents.
那時，約蘭率領自己所有的戰車，到了匝依爾，乘夜間起來，衝出了包圍他和那些戰車長的厄東人，軍民纔得逃回自己的帳幕。
22 But the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
這樣，厄東人脫離了猶大的統治，直到今日。同時，里貝納也背叛了猶大。
23 And the rest of the acts of Joram and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
約蘭其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
24 And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
約蘭與列祖同眠後，與他的列祖葬在達味城；他的兒子阿哈齊雅繼位為王。
25 In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign.
以色列王阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭十二年，猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅登極為王。
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
他即位時，年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王一年。他的母親名叫阿塔里雅，是以色列王敖默黎的孫女。
27 And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did evil in the sight of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
阿哈齊雅走了阿哈布的道路，行了上主視為惡的事，同阿哈布家一樣，因為他是阿哈布家的女婿。
28 And he went with Joram the son of Ahab to the war against Hazael the king of Syria at Ramoth-Gilead; and the Syrians wounded Joram.
他同阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭往辣摩特基肋阿得去，與阿蘭王哈匝耳交戰。阿蘭人擊傷了耶曷蘭，
29 And king Joram returned to be healed in Jizreel of the wounds that the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram the son of Ahab at Jizreel, for he was sick.
耶曷蘭就回到依次勒耳，治療他在辣摩特與阿蘭人交戰時所受的傷。猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅，由於阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭患病，就下到依次勒耳去探望他。
