2 Kings 10
1 Ahab had nowe seuentie sonnes in Samaria. And Iehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria vnto the rulers of Izreel, and to the Elders, and to the bringers vp of Ahabs children, to this effect,
阿哈布在撒瑪黎雅尚有七十個孫子，為此，耶胡寫信給撒瑪黎雅城中的首領、長老和阿哈布子孫的師保，說：「
2 Nowe when this letter commeth to you, (for ye haue with you your masters sonnes, yee haue with you both charets and horses, and a defenced citie, and armour)
你們主上的子孫，既然都同你們在一起，又有車馬、堅城和武器；那麼，這信一到你們手中，
3 Consider therefore which of your masters sonnes is best and most meete, and set him on his fathers throne, and fight for your masters house.
你們就在你們主上的子孫中，選出一位最好最能幹的，坐上他父親的寶座，來為你們主上的家作戰。」
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and saide, Behold two Kings coulde not stande before him, how shall we then stand?
但是，他們都很害怕說：「哎! 兩位君王尚且不能抵抗他，我們又怎能抵抗﹖」
5 And he that was gouernour of Ahabs house, and he that ruled the citie, and the Elders, and the bringers vp of the children sent to Iehu, saying, We are thy seruants, and will doe all that thou shalt bid vs: we will make no King: do what seemeth good to thee.
因此，家臣、市長、長老和師保，便派人去見耶胡說：「我們是你的僕人，凡你吩咐的，我們都必照辦。我們不選立任何人作王；你看著怎樣好，就怎樣辦罷! 」
6 Then he wrote another letter to them, saying, If ye be mine, and wil obey my voyce, take the heads of ye men that are your masters sonnes, and come to me to Izreel by to morowe this time. (Nowe the Kings sonnes, euen seuentie persons were with the great men of the citie, which brought them vp)
耶胡又給他們寫了第二封信：「如果你們擁護我，願聽從我的號令；那麼，明天這個時候，你們就帶著你們主上的子孫的頭，到依次勒耳來見我。」君王的七十個子孫，其時都教養在城中的官紳家中。
7 And when the letter came to them, they tooke the Kings sonnes, and slewe the seuentie persons, and layde their heads in baskets, and sent them vnto him to Izreel.
這封信一到，他們便將君王的七十個子孫全都殺了，把他們的頭放在籃子裏，送到依次勒耳耶胡那裏。
8 Then there came a messenger and tolde him, saying, They haue brought the heads of the Kings sonnes. And he sayd, Let them lay them on two heapes at the entring in of the gate vntil the morning.
有使者來報告耶胡說：「他們將君王子孫的頭送來了。」耶胡即下令說：「將頭分成兩堆，放在城門口，直到明天早晨。」
9 And when it was day, he went out, and stood and sayd to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?
第二天早晨，耶胡出來，站著對全民眾說：「你們都沒有罪。看，我背叛了我的主上，且殺了他，但是，這些人是誰殺的呢﹖
10 Knowe nowe that there shall fall vnto the earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the Lord hath brought to passe the things that hee spake by his seruant Eliiah.
你們也知道上主的話，即上主論及阿哈布家所說的話，一句也沒有落空；上主藉他僕人厄里亞所說的話，都實現了。」
11 So Iehu slew al that remained of the house of Ahab in Izreel, and all that were great with him, and his familiars and his priestes, so that he let none of his remaine.
然後，耶胡把阿哈布家在依次勒耳所剩下的人，所有的親屬、友人和司祭，全都殺了，一個也沒有留下。
12 And he arose, and departed and came to Samaria. And as Iehu was in the way by an house where the shepheards did shere,
以後，耶胡起程往撒瑪黎雅去了。途中經過牧人聚集地貝特厄刻得時，
13 He met with the brethre of Ahaziah king of Iudah, and sayd, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah, and goe downe to salute the children of the King and the children of the Queene.
遇見猶大王阿哈齊雅的兄弟，就問他們說：「你們是誰﹖」他們回答說：「我們是阿哈齊雅的兄弟，現在下去向君王和太后的兒子請安。」
14 And he sayde, Take them aliue. And they tooke them aliue, and slew them at the well beside the house where the sheepe are shorne, euen two and fourtie men, and he left not one of them.
耶胡遂下令說：「將他們活活捉住! 」隨從就將他們活活捉住，在貝特厄刻得井旁把他們殺了，共計四十二人，一個也沒有留下。
15 And when he was departed thence, hee met with Iehonadab the sonne of Rechab comming to meete him, and he blessed him, and sayde to him, Is thine heart vpright, as mine heart is towarde thine? And Iehonadab answered, Yea, doubtlesse. Then giue me thine hande. And when he had giuen him his hande, he tooke him vp to him into the charet.
耶胡從那裏起身前行，又遇見勒加布的兒子約納達布前來迎接他；耶胡向他請安，問他說：「你對我的心是否同我對你的心，請你伸出手來。」他就向耶胡伸過手去；耶胡就拉他上車，坐在自己身旁，
16 And he sayde, Come with me, and see the zeale that I haue for the Lord: so they made him ride in his charet.
對他說：「你跟我來，看看我對天主是怎樣的熱誠。」於是叫他坐上他自己的車。
17 And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained vnto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake to Eliiah.
到了撒瑪黎雅，就照上主對厄里亞所說的話，將阿哈布家在撒瑪黎雅剩下的人，全都殺了。
18 Then Iehu assembled all the people, and sayd vnto them, Ahab serued Baal a litle, but Iehu shall serue him much more.
耶胡召集了全國人民，對他們說：「阿哈布事奉巴耳不夠熱心，我耶胡要更熱心事奉他。
19 Now therefore call vnto me all ye prophets of Baal, all his seruants, and all his priests, and let not a man be lacking: for I haue a great sacrifice for Baal: whosoeuer is lacking, he shall not liue. But Iehu did it by a subtiltie to destroy ye seruats of Baal.
所以現在，你們去召集所有巴耳的先知，所有敬拜巴耳的人，和所有的司祭，都到我這裏來，一個也不要缺席，因為我要向巴耳奉獻大祭；誰缺席，誰就不能生存。」這原是耶胡運用的詭計，想消滅所有敬拜巴耳的人。
20 And Iehu sayd, Proclaime a solemne assemblie for Baal. And they proclaimed it.
耶胡下令說：「你們要為巴耳召開一個聖會! 」他們就宣布召開。
21 So Iehu sent vnto all Israel, and all the seruants of Baal came, and there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was full from ende to ende.
耶胡派人走遍全以色列；凡敬百拜巴耳的人都來了，沒有一個缺席不來的；他們都進了巴耳廟，巴耳廟內全擠滿了人。
22 Then he said vnto him that had the charge of the vestrie, Bring forth vestments for al the seruants of Baal. And he brought the out vestments.
耶胡對管祭衣的人說：「為所有敬拜巴耳的人，拿出衣服來! 」那人就給他們拿出衣服來。
23 And when Iehu went, and Iehonadab the sonne of Rechab into the house of Baal, he sayde vnto the seruants of Baal, Searche diligently, and looke, lest there be here with you any of the seruants of the Lord, but the seruants of Baal only.
耶胡和勒加布的兒子約納達布進了巴耳廟，對敬拜巴耳的人說：「你們要搜查看看，這裏不要有事奉雅威的人同你們在一起，只准敬拜巴耳的人。」
24 And when they went in to make sacrifice and burnt offering, Iehu appoynted foure score men without, and sayd, If any of the men whome I haue brought into your hands, escape, his soule shalbe for his soule.
他們於是進去奉獻犧牲和全燔祭。耶胡預先在外已派定八十人，對他們說：「誰若讓我交於你們手中的一個人逃走，就要他以命抵命。」
25 And when hee had made an ende of the burnt offring, Iehu sayde to the garde, and to the captaines, Goe in, slay them, let not a man come out. And they smote them with the edge of the sworde. And the garde, and the captaines cast them out, and went vnto the citie, where was the temple of Baal.
全燔祭奉獻完畢，耶胡吩咐衛兵和軍官說：「你們進去擊殺，一個耶不可叫他逃走! 」衛兵和軍官便用刀擊殺了他們，把他們的屍體拋出，然後進入巴耳廟的內堂，
26 And they brought out the images of the temple of Baal, and burnt them.
把巴耳廟內的神柱搬出來燒了，
27 And they destroyed the image of Baal, and threwe downe the house of Baal, and made a iakes of it vnto this day.
推倒了巴耳偶像，拆毀了巴耳廟，使之成為一個廁所，直到今日。
28 So Iehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
這樣，耶胡將巴耳從以色列中剷除了；
29 But from the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat which made Israel to sinne, Iehu departed not from them, neither from the golden calues that were in Beth-el and that were in Dan.
但他仍沒有離棄乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕使以色列陷於罪惡的罪：即那兩頭設在貝特耳和丹的金牛。
30 And the Lord sayde vnto Iehu, Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right in mine eyes, and hast done vnto the house of Ahab according to all things that were in mine heart, therefore shall thy sonnes vnto the fourth generation sit on the throne of Israel.
上主對耶胡說：「由於你好好執行了我視為義的事，照我心中所想的一切對待了阿哈布家，你的子孫要坐以色列的王位，直到第四代。」
31 But Iehu regarded not to walke in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for hee departed not from the sinnes of Ieroboam, which made Israel to sinne.
但耶胡並沒有全心謹守遵行上主以色列天主的法律，沒有放棄雅洛貝罕使以色列陷於罪惡的罪。
32 In those dayes the Lord began to lothe Israel, and Hazael smote them in all the coastes of Israel,
那時，上主開始削弱以色列，哈匝耳也在四面邊境上攻擊以色列，
33 From Iorden Eastward, euen all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and them that were of Manasseh, from Aroer (which is by the riuer Arnon) and Gilead and Bashan.
侵佔了約旦河東基肋阿得全地，即加得人，勒烏本和默納協人的地方，從阿爾農河附近的阿洛厄爾城，直到基肋阿得和巴商。
34 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehu, and all that he did, and all his valiant deedes, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
耶胡其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為和武功，都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
35 And Iehu slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in Samaria, and Iehoahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.
耶胡與列祖同眠，人將他葬在撒瑪黎雅；他的兒子約阿哈次繼位為王。
36 And the time that Iehu reigned ouer Israel in Samaria is eight and twentie yeeres.
耶胡在撒瑪黎雅作以色列王，凡二十八年。
