1 Kings 22
1 And they sit still three years; there is no war between Aram and Israel.
亞蘭國和以色列國三年沒有爭戰。
2 And it comes to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah comes down to the king of Israel,
到第三年，猶大王約沙法下去見以色列王。
3 and the king of Israel says to his servants, “Have you not known that Ramoth-Gilead [is] ours? And we are keeping silent from taking it out of the 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 says to Jehoshaphat, “Do you go with me to battle [against] Ramoth-Gilead?” And Jehoshaphat says to the king of Israel, “As I am, so [are] you; as my people, so your people; as my horses, so your 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 And Jehoshaphat says to the king of Israel, “Please seek the word of YHWH today”;
約沙法對以色列王說：「請你先求問耶和華。」
6 and the king of Israel gathers the prophets, about four hundred men, and says to them, “Do I go to battle against Ramoth-Gilead, or do I refrain?” And they say, “Go up, and the Lord gives [it] into the hand 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 Jehoshaphat says, “[Is there] not a prophet of YHWH still here that we may seek from 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 says to Jehoshaphat, “Yet one man [remains] to seek YHWH from him, and I have hated him, for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil—Micaiah son of Imlah”; and Jehoshaphat says, “Do not let 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 And the king of Israel calls to a certain eunuch and says, “Hurry along Micaiah son 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 Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, in a threshing-floor, at the opening of the Gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying 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 Zedekiah son of Chenaanah makes horns of iron for himself and says, “Thus said YHWH: By these you push the Arameans until they are consumed”;
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 are prophesying so, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper, and YHWH has given [it] into the hand of the king.”
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 who has gone to call Micaiah has spoken to him, saying, “Now behold, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, [are] good toward the king; please let your word be as the word of one of them—and you have spoken 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 Micaiah says, “YHWH lives; surely that which YHWH says to me—it I speak.”
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 And he comes to the king, and the king says to him, “Micaiah, do we go to Ramoth-Gilead, to battle, or do we refrain?” And he says to him, “Go up, and prosper, and YHWH has given [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 says to him, “How many times am I adjuring you that you speak nothing to me but truth in the Name of YHWH?”
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 And he says, “I have seen all Israel scattered on the hills as sheep that have no shepherd, and YHWH says, These have no master; let them return—each to 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 says to Jehoshaphat, “Have I not said to you, He does not prophesy of me good, but evil?”
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 And he says, “Therefore, hear a word of YHWH! I have seen YHWH sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing by Him, on His right and on His left;
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 YHWH says, Who entices Ahab, and he goes up and falls in Ramoth-Gilead? And this one says thus, and that one is saying thus.
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 And the spirit goes out and stands before YHWH, and says, I entice him; and YHWH says to him, By what?
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 says, I go out, and have been a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets; and He says, You entice, and also you are able; go out and do 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 And now, behold, YHWH has put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and YHWH has spoken calamity concerning you.”
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 And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draws near and strikes Micaiah on the cheek, and says, “Where [is] this [that] the spirit [from] YHWH has passed over from me to speak with you?”
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 Micaiah says, “Behold, you are seeing on that day when you go into the innermost chamber to be hidden.”
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 says, “Take Micaiah, and turn him back to Amon head of the city, and to Joash son of the king,
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 you have said, Thus said the king: Place this one in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of oppression, and water of oppression, until my coming 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 Micaiah says, “If you return in peace at all, YHWH has not spoken by me”; and he says, “Hear, O peoples, all of them.”
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 And the king of Israel goes up—and Jehoshaphat king of Judah—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 says to Jehoshaphat to disguise himself, and to go into battle, “And you, put on your garments.” And the king of Israel disguises himself, and goes into battle.
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 the thirty-two heads of the charioteers whom he has, saying, “You do not fight with small or with great, but with the king of Israel by himself.”
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 it comes to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they said, “He [is] surely the king of Israel!” And they turn aside to him to fight, and Jehoshaphat cries out,
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 it comes to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that he [is] not the king of Israel, that they turn back from after him.
車兵長見不是以色列王，就轉去不追他了。
34 And a man has drawn with a bow in his simplicity, and strikes the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of mail, and he says to his charioteer, “Turn your hand, and take me out from the camp, for I have become sick.”
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 battle increases on that day, and the king has been caused to stand in the chariot, in front of Aram, and he dies in the evening, and the blood of the wound runs out to the midst of the chariot,
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 he causes the cry to pass over through the camp, at the going in of the sun, saying, “Each to his city, and each to his land!”
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 And the king dies, and comes into Samaria, and they bury 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] rinses the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs lick his blood when they had washed the armor, according to the word of YHWH that He spoke.
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 And the rest of the matters of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written on the scroll 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 And Ahab lies with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigns in his stead.
亞哈與他列祖同睡。他兒子亞哈謝接續他作王。
41 And Jehoshaphat son of Asa has reigned over Judah in the fourth year 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 Jehoshaphat [is] a son of thirty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah 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 walks in all the way of his father Asa, he has not turned aside from it, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH; only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high 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 Jehoshaphat makes peace with the king of Israel;
約沙法與以色列王和好。
45 and the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he exercised, and with which he fought, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
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 remnant of the whoremongers who were left in the days of his father Asa he took away 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 and there is no king in Edom; he set up a king.
那時以東沒有王，有總督治理。
48 Jehoshaphat made ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, and they did not go, for the ships were broken in Ezion-Geber.
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 Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants in the ships”; and Jehoshaphat was not willing.
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 Jehoshaphat lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoram reigns in his stead.

52 and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, and walks in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin,
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 and serves the Ba‘al, and bows himself to it, and provokes YHWH, God of Israel, according to 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。
