1 Kings 22
1 And they continued three yeere without warre betweene Aram and Israel.
亞蘭國和以色列國三年沒有爭戰。
2 And in the third yeere did Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah come downe to ye King of Israel.
到第三年，猶大王約沙法下去見以色列王。
3 (Then the King of Israel saide vnto his seruants, Knowe yee not that Ramoth Gilead was ours? and wee stay, and take it not out of ye hand of the King of Aram?)
以色列王對臣僕說：「你們不知道基列的拉末是屬我們的嗎？我們豈可靜坐不動，不從亞蘭王手裏奪回來嗎？」
4 And he sayde vnto Iehoshaphat, Wilt thou goe with mee to battel against Ramoth Gilead? And Iehoshaphat saide vnto the King of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.
亞哈問約沙法說：「你肯同我去攻取基列的拉末嗎？」約沙法對以色列王說：「你我不分彼此，我的民與你的民一樣，我的馬與你的馬一樣。」
5 Then Iehoshaphat saide vnto the King of Israel, Aske counsaile, I pray thee, of the Lord to day.
約沙法對以色列王說：「請你先求問耶和華。」
6 Then the King of Israel gathered the prophets vpon a foure hundreth men, and said vnto them, Shal I go against Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall I let it alone? And they said, Go vp: for ye Lord shall deliuer it into the hands of the King.
於是以色列王招聚先知，約有四百人，問他們說：「我上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以？」他們說：「可以上去，因為主必將那城交在王的手裏。」
7 And Iehoshaphat said, Is there here neuer a Prophet of the Lord more, that we might inquire of him?
約沙法說：「這裏不是還有耶和華的先知，我們可以求問他嗎？」
8 And the King of Israel said vnto Iehoshaphat, There is yet one man (Michaiah the sonne of Imlah) by whom we may aske counsel of the Lord, but I hate him: for he doeth not prophecie good vnto me, but euill. And Iehoshaphat sayd, Let not the King say so.
以色列王對約沙法說：「還有一個人，是音拉的兒子米該雅，我們可以託他求問耶和華。只是我恨他；因為他指着我所說的預言，不說吉語，單說凶言。」約沙法說：「王不必這樣說。」
9 Then the King of Israel called an Eunuche, and sayde, Call quickely Michaiah the sonne of Imlah.
以色列王就召了一個太監來，說：「你快去，將音拉的兒子米該雅召來。」
10 And the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah sate either of them on his throne in their apparell in the voyde place at the entring in of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets prophecied before them.
以色列王和猶大王約沙法在撒馬利亞城門前的空場上，各穿朝服，坐在位上，所有的先知都在他們面前說預言。
11 And Zidkiiah the sonne of Chenaanah made him hornes of yron, and sayd, Thus sayth the Lord, With these shalt thou push the Aramites, vntill thou hast consumed them.
基拿拿的兒子西底家造了兩個鐵角，說：「耶和華如此說：『你要用這角牴觸亞蘭人，直到將他們滅盡。』」
12 And all the prophets prophecied so, saying, Goe vp to Ramoth Gilead, and prosper: for the Lord shall deliuer it into the Kings hand.
所有的先知也都這樣預言說：「可以上基列的拉末去，必然得勝，因為耶和華必將那城交在王的手中。」
13 And the messenger that was gone to call Michaiah spake vnto him, saying, Beholde now, the wordes of the prophets declare good vnto the King with one accorde: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like the worde of one of them, and speake thou good.
那去召米該雅的使者對米該雅說：「眾先知一口同音地都向王說吉言，你不如與他們說一樣的話，也說吉言。」
14 And Michaiah saide, As the Lord liueth, whatsoeuer the Lord sayth vnto me, that will I speake.
米該雅說：「我指着永生的耶和華起誓，耶和華對我說甚麼，我就說甚麼。」
15 So he came to the King, and the King said vnto him, Michaiah, shall we go against Ramoth Gilead to battel, or shall we leaue off? And he answered him, Goe vp, and prosper: and the Lord shall deliuer it into the hand of the King.
米該雅到王面前，王問他說：「米該雅啊，我們上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以？」他回答說：「可以上去，必然得勝，耶和華必將那城交在王的手中。」
16 And the King said vnto him, How oft shall I charge thee, that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the Name of the Lord?
王對他說：「我當囑咐你幾次，你才奉耶和華的名向我說實話呢？」
17 Then he said, I sawe all Israel scattered vpon the mountaines, as sheepe that had no shepheard. And the Lord sayde, These haue no master, let euery man returne vnto his house in peace.
米該雅說：「我看見以色列眾民散在山上，如同沒有牧人的羊群一般。耶和華說：『這民沒有主人，他們可以平平安安地各歸各家去。』」
18 (And the King of Israel saide vnto Iehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee, that he would prophecie no good vnto me, but euill?)
以色列王對約沙法說：「我豈沒有告訴你，這人指着我所說的預言，不說吉語單說凶言嗎？」
19 Againe he said, Heare thou therefore the worde of the Lord. I sawe the Lord sit on his throne, and all the hoste of heauen stood about him on his right hand and on his left hand.
米該雅說：「你要聽耶和華的話！我看見耶和華坐在寶座上，天上的萬軍侍立在他左右。
20 And the Lord sayd, Who shall entise Ahab that he may go and fall at Ramoth Gilead? And one said on this maner, and another sayd on that maner.
耶和華說：『誰去引誘亞哈上基列的拉末去陣亡呢？』這個就這樣說，那個就那樣說。
21 Then there came forth a spirit, and stoode before the Lord, and sayd, I wil entise him. And the Lord sayd vnto him, Wherewith?
隨後有一個神靈出來，站在耶和華面前，說：『我去引誘他。』
22 And he sayd, I will goe out, and be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. Then he sayd, Thou shalt entise him, and shalt also preuayle: goe forth, and doe so.
耶和華問他說：『你用何法呢？』他說：『我去，要在他眾先知口中作謊言的靈。』耶和華說：『這樣，你必能引誘他，你去如此行吧！』
23 Now therefore behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirite in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath appoynted euill against thee.
現在耶和華使謊言的靈入了你這些先知的口，並且耶和華已經命定降禍與你。」
24 Then Zidkiiah the sonne of Chenaanah came neere, and smote Michaiah on the cheeke and sayd, When went the Spirite of the Lord from me, to speake vnto thee?
基拿拿的兒子西底家前來，打米該雅的臉，說：「耶和華的靈從哪裏離開我與你說話呢？」
25 And Michaiah saide, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt goe from chamber to chamber to hide thee.
米該雅說：「你進嚴密的屋子藏躲的那日，就必看見了。」
26 And the King of Israel sayd, Take Michaiah, and cary him vnto Amon the gouernour of the citie, and vnto Ioash the Kings sonne,
以色列王說：「將米該雅帶回，交給邑宰亞們和王的兒子約阿施，說
27 And say, Thus saith the King, Put this man in the prison house, and feede him with bread of affliction, and with water of affliction, vntill I returne in peace.
王如此說，把這個人下在監裏，使他受苦，吃不飽喝不足，等候我平平安安地回來。」
28 And Michaiah sayde, If thou returne in peace, the Lord hath not spoken by me. And he sayd, Hearken all ye people.
米該雅說：「你若能平平安安地回來，那就是耶和華沒有藉我說這話了」；又說：「眾民哪，你們都要聽！」
29 So the King of Israel and Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah went vp to Ramoth Gilead.
以色列王和猶大王約沙法上基列的拉末去了。
30 And the King of Israel sayde to Iehoshaphat, I will change mine apparell, and will enter into the battell, but put thou on thine apparell. And the King of Israel changed himselfe, and went into the battel.
以色列王對約沙法說：「我要改裝上陣，你可以仍穿王服。」以色列王就改裝上陣。
31 And the King of Aram commanded his two and thirtie captaines ouer his charets, saying, Fight neither with small, nor great, saue onely against the King of Israel.
先是亞蘭王吩咐他的三十二個車兵長說：「他們的兵將，無論大小，你們都不可與他們爭戰，只要與以色列王爭戰。」
32 And when the captaines of the charets saw Iehoshaphat, they sayd, Surely it is the King of Israel, and they turned to fight against him: and Iehoshaphat cryed.
車兵長看見約沙法，便說：「這必是以色列王！」就轉過去與他爭戰，約沙法便呼喊。
33 And when the captaines of the charets saw that he was not the King of Israel, they turned backe from him.
車兵長見不是以色列王，就轉去不追他了。
34 Then a certaine man drewe a bow mightily and smote the King of Israel betweene the ioyntes of his brigandine. Wherefore he sayde vnto his charet man, Turne thine hand and cary me out of the hoste: for I am hurt.
有一人隨便開弓，恰巧射入以色列王的甲縫裏。王對趕車的說：「我受了重傷，你轉過車來，拉我出陣吧！」
35 And the battel encreased that day, and the King stoode still in his charet against the Aramites, and dyed at euen: and the blood ran out of the wound into the middes of the charet.
那日，陣勢越戰越猛，有人扶王站在車上，抵擋亞蘭人。到晚上，王就死了，血從傷處流在車中。
36 And there went a proclamation thorowout the hoste about the going downe of the sunne, saying, Euery man to his citie, and euery man to his owne countrey.
約在日落的時候，有號令傳遍軍中，說：「各歸本城，各歸本地吧！」
37 So the King died, and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the King in Samaria.
王既死了，眾人將他送到撒馬利亞，就葬在那裏；
38 And one washed the charet in the poole of Samaria, and the dogs licked vp his blood (and they washed his armour) according vnto the word of the Lord which he spake.
又有人把他的車洗在撒馬利亞的池旁（妓女在那裏洗澡），狗來舔他的血，正如耶和華所說的話。
39 Concerning the rest of the actes of Ahab and all that he did, and the yuorie house which he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
亞哈其餘的事，凡他所行的和他所修造的象牙宮，並所建築的一切城邑，都寫在以色列諸王記上。
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers, and Ahaziah his sonne reigned in his stead.
亞哈與他列祖同睡。他兒子亞哈謝接續他作王。
41 And Iehoshaphat the sonne of Asa began to reigne vpon Iudah in the fourth yeere of Ahab King of Israel.
以色列王亞哈第四年，亞撒的兒子約沙法登基作了猶大王。
42 Iehoshaphat was fiue and thirty yere olde, when he began to reigne, and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem. And his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
約沙法登基的時候年三十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王二十五年。他母親名叫阿蘇巴，乃示利希的女兒。
43 And he walked in all the wayes of Asa his father, and declined not therefrom, but did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord. Neuerthelesse the hie places were not taken away: for the people offred still and burnt incense in the hie places.
約沙法行他父親亞撒所行的道，不偏離左右，行耶和華眼中看為正的事；只是邱壇還沒有廢去，百姓仍在那裏獻祭燒香。
44 And Iehoshaphat made peace with the King of Israel.
約沙法與以色列王和好。
45 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat, and his worthy deedes that he did, and his battels which he fought, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Iudah?
約沙法其餘的事和他所顯出的勇力，並他怎樣爭戰，都寫在猶大列王記上。
46 And the Sodomites, which remayned in the dayes of his father Asa, he put cleane out of the land.
約沙法將他父親亞撒在世所剩下的孌童都從國中除去了。
47 There was then no King in Edom: the deputie was King.
那時以東沒有王，有總督治理。
48 Iehoshaphat made shippes of Tharshish to sayle to Ophir for golde, but they went not, for the shippes were broken at Ezion Gaber.
約沙法製造他施船隻，要往俄斐去，將金子運來；只是沒有去，因為船在以旬‧迦別破壞了。
49 Then sayde Ahaziah the sonne of Ahab vnto Iehoshaphat, Let my seruants goe with thy seruants in the ships, But Iehoshaphat would not.
亞哈的兒子亞哈謝對約沙法說：「容我的僕人和你的僕人坐船同去吧！」約沙法卻不肯。
50 And Iehoshaphat did sleepe with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid his father, and Iehoram his sonne reigned in his stead.
約沙法與列祖同睡。葬在大衛城他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子約蘭接續他作王。
51 Ahaziah the sonne of Ahab began to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the seuenteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned two yeeres ouer Israel.
猶大王約沙法十七年，亞哈的兒子亞哈謝在撒馬利亞登基，作以色列王共二年。
52 But he did euill in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne.
他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他的父母，又行尼八的兒子耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪裏的事。
53 For he serued Baal and worshipped him, and prouoked the Lord God of Israel vnto wrath, according vnto all that his father had done.
他照他父親一切所行的，事奉敬拜巴力，惹耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣。
