< 2 Kings 8 >
1 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.
以利沙曾对所救活之子的那妇人说:“你和你的全家要起身往你可住的地方去住,因为耶和华命饥荒降在这地七年。”
2 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.
妇人就起身,照神人的话带着全家往非利士地去,住了七年。
3 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.
七年完了,那妇人从非利士地回来,就出去为自己的房屋田地哀告王。
4 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.
那时王正与神人的仆人基哈西说:“请你将以利沙所行的一切大事告诉我。”
5 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.
基哈西告诉王以利沙如何使死人复活,恰巧以利沙所救活、她儿子的那妇人为自己的房屋田地来哀告王。基哈西说:“我主我王,这就是那妇人,这是她的儿子,就是以利沙所救活的。”
6 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.
王问那妇人,她就把那事告诉王。于是王为她派一个太监,说:“凡属这妇人的都还给她,自从她离开本地直到今日,她田地的出产也都还给她。”
7 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.
以利沙来到大马士革,亚兰王便·哈达正患病。有人告诉王说:“神人来到这里了。”
8 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?
王就吩咐哈薛说:“你带着礼物去见神人,托他求问耶和华,我这病能好不能好?”
9 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?
于是哈薛用四十个骆驼,驮着大马士革的各样美物为礼物,去见以利沙。到了他那里,站在他面前,说:“你儿子亚兰王便·哈达打发我来见你,他问说:‘我这病能好不能好?’”
10 And Elisha sayd to him, Goe, and say vnto him, Thou shalt recouer: howbeit the Lord hath shewed me, that he shall surely dye.
以利沙对哈薛说:“你回去告诉他说,这病必能好;但耶和华指示我,他必要死。”
11 And hee looked vpon him stedfastly, till Hazael was ashamed, and the man of God wept.
神人定睛看着哈薛,甚至他惭愧。神人就哭了;
12 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.
哈薛说:“我主为什么哭?”回答说:“因为我知道你必苦害以色列人,用火焚烧他们的保障,用刀杀死他们的壮丁,摔死他们的婴孩,剖开他们的孕妇。”
13 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.
哈薛说:“你仆人算什么,不过是一条狗,焉能行这大事呢?”以利沙回答说:“耶和华指示我,你必作亚兰王。”
14 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.
哈薛离开以利沙,回去见他的主人。主人问他说:“以利沙对你说什么?”回答说:“他告诉我你必能好。”
15 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.
次日,哈薛拿被窝浸在水中,蒙住王的脸,王就死了。于是哈薛篡了他的位。
16 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.
以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰第五年,犹大王约沙法还在位的时候,约沙法的儿子约兰登基作了犹大王。
17 He was two and thirtie yere olde, when he began to reigne: and hee reigned eight yeere in Ierusalem.
约兰登基的时候年三十二岁,在耶路撒冷作王八年。
18 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.
他行以色列诸王所行的,与亚哈家一样;因为他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻,行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。
19 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.
耶和华却因他仆人大卫的缘故,仍不肯灭绝犹大,照他所应许大卫的话,永远赐灯光与他的子孙。
20 In those dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer themselues.
约兰年间,以东人背叛犹大,脱离他的权下,自己立王。
21 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.
约兰率领所有的战车往撒益去,夜间起来,攻打围困他的以东人和车兵长;犹大兵就逃跑,各回各家去了。
22 So Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah vnto this day. then Libnah rebelled at that same time.
这样,以东人背叛犹大,脱离他的权下,直到今日。那时立拿人也背叛了。
23 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?
约兰其余的事,凡他所行的,都写在犹大列王记上。
24 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.
约兰与他列祖同睡,葬在大卫城他列祖的坟地里。他儿子亚哈谢接续他作王。
25 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.
以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰十二年,犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢登基。
26 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.
他登基的时候年二十二岁,在耶路撒冷作王一年。他母亲名叫亚她利雅,是以色列王暗利的孙女。
27 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.
亚哈谢效法亚哈家行耶和华眼中看为恶的事,与亚哈家一样,因为他是亚哈家的女婿。
28 And he went with Ioram the sonne of Ahab to warre against Hazael King of Aram in Ramoth Gilead, and the Aramites smote Ioram.
他与亚哈的儿子约兰同往基列的拉末去,与亚兰王哈薛争战。亚兰人打伤了约兰,
29 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.
约兰王回到耶斯列,医治在拉末与亚兰王哈薛打仗的时候所受的伤。犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢因为亚哈的儿子约兰病了,就下到耶斯列看望他。
