< 2 Kings 9 >
1 Then Elisha the Prophet called one of ye children of the Prophets, and sayde vnto him, Gird thy loynes and take this boxe of oyle in thine hand and get thee to Ramoth Gilead.
先知以利沙叫了一个先知门徒来,吩咐他说:“你束上腰,手拿这瓶膏油往基列的拉末去。
2 And when thou commest thither, looke where is Iehu ye sonne of Iehoshaphat, the sonne of Nimshi, and go, and make him arise vp from among his brethren, and leade him to a secret chamber.
到了那里,要寻找宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户,使他从同僚中起来,带他进严密的屋子,
3 Then take the boxe of oyle and powre it on his head, and say, Thus sayth the Lord, I haue anointed thee for King ouer Israel. then open the doore, and flee without any tarying.
将瓶里的膏油倒在他头上,说:‘耶和华如此说:我膏你作以色列王。’说完了,就开门逃跑,不要迟延。”
4 So the seruat of ye Prophet gate him to Ramoth Gilead.
于是那少年先知往基列的拉末去了。
5 And when he came in, behold, the captaines of the armie were sitting. And he sayde, I haue a message to thee, O captaine. And Iehu sayd, Vnto which of all vs? And he answered, To thee, O captaine.
到了那里,看见众军长都坐着,就说:“将军哪,我有话对你说。”耶户说:“我们众人里,你要对哪一个说呢?”回答说:“将军哪,我要对你说。”
6 And he arose, and went into the house, and he powred the oyle on his head and sayde vnto him, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, I haue anointed thee for King ouer the people of the Lord, euen ouer Israel.
耶户就起来,进了屋子,少年人将膏油倒在他头上,对他说:“耶和华—以色列的 神如此说:‘我膏你作耶和华民以色列的王。
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may auenge the blood of my seruants the Prophets, and the blood of al the seruants of the Lord of the hand of Iezebel.
你要击杀你主人亚哈的全家,我好在耶洗别身上伸我仆人众先知和耶和华一切仆人流血的冤。
8 For the whole house of Ahab shalbe destroied: and I will cut off from Ahab, him that maketh water against the wall, as well him that is shut vp, as him that is left in Israel.
亚哈全家必都灭亡,凡属亚哈的男丁,无论是困住的、自由的,我必从以色列中剪除,
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the sonne of Ahiiah.
使亚哈的家像尼八儿子耶罗波安的家,又像亚希雅儿子巴沙的家。
10 And the dogges shall eate Iezebel in the fielde of Izreel, and there shalbe none to burie her. And he opened the doore, and fled.
耶洗别必在耶斯列田里被狗所吃,无人葬埋。’”说完了,少年人就开门逃跑了。
11 Then Iehu came out to the seruants of his lord. And one sayd vnto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellowe to thee? And hee sayde vnto them, Ye knowe the man, and what his talke was.
耶户出来,回到他主人的臣仆那里,有一人问他说:“平安吗?这狂妄的人来见你有什么事呢?”回答说:“你们认得那人,也知道他说什么。”
12 And they sayde, It is false, tell vs it nowe. Then he sayd, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saieth the Lord, I haue anointed thee for King ouer Israel.
他们说:“这是假话,你据实地告诉我们。”回答说:“他如此如此对我说。他说:‘耶和华如此说:我膏你作以色列王。’”
13 Then they made haste, and tooke euerie man his garment, and put it vnder him on the top of the staires, and blewe the trumpet, saying, Iehu is King.
他们就急忙各将自己的衣服铺在上层台阶,使耶户坐在其上;他们吹角,说:“耶户作王了!”
14 So Iehu ye sonne of Iehoshaphat the sonne of Nimshi conspired against Ioram: (Now Ioram kept Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael King of Aram.
这样,宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户背叛约兰。先是约兰和以色列众人因为亚兰王哈薛的缘故,把守基列的拉末;
15 And King Ioram returned to bee healed in Izreel of the woundes, which the Aramites had giuen him, when hee fought with Hazael King of Aram) and Iehu sayde, If it be your mindes, let no man depart and escape out of the citie, to goe and tell in Izreel.
但约兰王回到耶斯列,医治与亚兰王哈薛打仗所受的伤。耶户说:“若合你们的意思,就不容人逃出城往耶斯列报信去。”
16 So Iehu gate vp into a charet, and went to Izreel: for Ioram lay there, and Ahaziah King of Iudah was come downe to see Ioram.
于是耶户坐车往耶斯列去,因为约兰病卧在那里。犹大王亚哈谢已经下去看望他。
17 And the watchman that stoode in the towre in Izreel spyed the companie of Iehu as hee came, and sayd, I see a companie. And Iehoram said, Take a horseman and send to meete them, that hee may say, Is it peace?
有一个守望的人站在耶斯列的楼上,看见耶户带着一群人来,就说:“我看见一群人。”约兰说:“打发一个骑马的去迎接他们,问说:平安不平安?”
18 So there went one on horseback to meete him, and sayde, Thus sayth the King, Is it peace? And Iehu sayd, What hast thou to do with peace? Turne behinde me. And the watchman tolde, saying, The messenger came to them, but he commeth not againe.
骑马的就去迎接耶户,说:“王问说,平安不平安?”耶户说:“平安不平安与你何干?你转在我后头吧!”守望的人又说:“使者到了他们那里,却不回来。”
19 Then hee sent out another on horsebacke, which came to them, and sayde, Thus sayth the King, Is it peace? And Iehu answered, What hast thou to doe with peace? turne behinde me.
王又打发一个骑马的去。这人到了他们那里,说:“王问说,平安不平安?”耶户说:“平安不平安与你何干?你转在我后头吧!”
20 And the watchman tolde, saying, He came to them also, but commeth not againe, and the marching is like the marching of Iehu the sonne of Nimshi: for he marcheth furiously.
守望的人又说:“他到了他们那里,也不回来;车赶得甚猛,像宁示的孙子耶户的赶法。”
21 Then Iehoram sayd, Make ready: and his charet was made ready. And Iehoram King of Israel and Ahaziah King of Iudah went out eyther of them in his charet against Iehu, and met him in the fielde of Naboth the Izreelite.
约兰吩咐说:“套车!”人就给他套车。以色列王约兰和犹大王亚哈谢各坐自己的车出去迎接耶户,在耶斯列人拿伯的田那里遇见他。
22 And when Iehoram sawe Iehu, he sayde, Is it peace, Iehu? And he answered, What peace? whiles the whoredomes of thy mother Iezebel, and her witchcraftes are yet in great nomber?
约兰见耶户就说:“耶户啊,平安吗?”耶户说:“你母亲耶洗别的淫行邪术这样多,焉能平安呢?”
23 Then Iehoram turned his hand, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, O Ahaziah, there is treason.
约兰就转车逃跑,对亚哈谢说:“亚哈谢啊,反了!”
24 But Iehu tooke a bowe in his hande, and smote Iehoram betweene the shoulders, that the arowe went through his heart: and he fell downe in his charet.
耶户开满了弓,射中约兰的脊背,箭从心窝穿出,约兰就仆倒在车上。
25 Then said Iehu to Bidkar a captaine, Take, and cast him in some place of the fielde of Naboth the Izreelite: for I remember that when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord layed this burden vpon him.
耶户对他的军长毕甲说:“你把他抛在耶斯列人拿伯的田间。你当追想,你我一同坐车跟随他父亚哈的时候,耶和华对亚哈所说的预言,
26 Surely I haue seene yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sonnes, saide the Lord, and I will render it thee in this fielde, saith the Lord: nowe therefore take and cast him in the fielde, according to the word of the Lord.
说:‘我昨日看见拿伯的血和他众子的血,我必在这块田上报应你。’这是耶和华说的,现在你要照着耶和华的话,把他抛在这田间。”
27 But when Ahaziah the King of Iudah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house: And Iehu pursued after him, and sayd, Smite him also in the charet: and they smote him in the going vp to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And hee fled to Megiddo, and there dyed.
犹大王亚哈谢见这光景,就从园亭之路逃跑。耶户追赶他,说:“把这人也杀在车上。”到了靠近以伯莲姑珥的坡上击伤了他。他逃到米吉多,就死在那里。
28 And his seruants caried him in a charet to Ierusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the citie of Dauid.
他的臣仆用车将他的尸首送到耶路撒冷,葬在大卫城他自己的坟墓里,与他列祖同葬。
29 And in the eleuenth yere of Ioram the sonne of Ahab, began Ahaziah to reigne ouer Iudah.
亚哈谢登基作犹大王的时候,是在亚哈的儿子约兰第十一年。
30 And when Iehu was come to Izreel, Iezebel heard of it, and painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a windowe.
耶户到了耶斯列;耶洗别听见就擦粉、梳头,从窗户里往外观看。
31 And as Iehu entred at the gate, shee sayde, Had Zimri peace, which slewe his master?
耶户进门的时候,耶洗别说:“杀主人的心利啊,平安吗?”
32 And he lift vp his eyes to the windowe, and sayd, Who is on my side, who? Then two or three of her Eunuches looked vnto him.
耶户抬头向窗户观看,说:“谁顺从我?”有两三个太监从窗户往外看他。
33 And he sayde, Cast her downe: and they cast her downe, and hee sprinkled of her blood vpon the wall, and vpon the horses, and he trode her vnder foote.
耶户说:“把她扔下来!”他们就把她扔下来。她的血溅在墙上和马上;于是把她践踏了。
34 And when he was come in, he did eate and drinke, and sayde, Visite now yonder cursed woman, and burie her: for she is a Kings daughter.
耶户进去,吃了喝了,吩咐说:“你们把这被咒诅的妇人葬埋了,因为她是王的女儿。”
35 And they went to burie her, but they foud no more of her, then the skull and the feete, and the palmes of her handes.
他们就去葬埋她,只寻得她的头骨和脚,并手掌。
36 Wherefore they came agayne and tolde him. And he said, This is the worde of the Lord, which he spake by his seruant Eliiah the Tishbite, saying, In the fielde of Izreel shall ye dogs eate the flesh of Iezebel.
他们回去告诉耶户,耶户说:“这正应验耶和华借他仆人提斯比人以利亚所说的话,说:‘在耶斯列田间,狗必吃耶洗别的肉;
37 And the carkeis of Iezebel shalbe as doung vpon the ground in the field of Izreel, so that none shall say, This is Iezebel.
耶洗别的尸首必在耶斯列田间如同粪土,甚至人不能说这是耶洗别。’”
