2 Kings 8
1 And Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had revived, saying, “Rise and go, you and your household, and sojourn where you sojourn, for YHWH has called for a famine, and also, it is coming to the land [for] seven years.”
厄里叟對自己曾復活其子的婦人說：「你和你的家人，應動身往你能居住的地方去僑居，因為上主已決定，這地快要遭受七年饑荒」
2 And the woman rises, and does according to the word of the man of God, and goes, she and her household, and sojourns in the land of the Philistines [for] seven years.
那婦人就立即照天主的人所說的話作了；她和她的家人動身走了，在培肋舍特人的地方，僑居了七年。
3 And it comes to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman turns back from the land of the Philistines, and goes out to cry to the king for her house and for her field.
過了七年，這婦人從培肋舍特地方回來，便去求君王，要收回自己的房屋和田地。
4 And the king is speaking to Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, “Please recount to me the whole of the great things that Elisha has done.”
那時，君王正與天主的人僕人革哈齊談話，說：「請你將厄里叟作的一切大事，講給我聽! 」
5 And it comes to pass, he is recounting to the king how he had revived the dead, and behold, the woman whose son he had revived is crying to the king for her house and for her field, and Gehazi says, “My lord, O king, this [is] the woman, and this [is] her son, whom Elisha revived.”
當革哈齊正向君王講述先知如何復活死人的時候，恰好厄里叟曾復活其子的那婦人，前來求君王，要收回自己的房屋和田地，革哈齊就說：「我主，大王! 這就是那婦人，這就是厄里叟所復活的那兒子。」
6 And the king inquires of the woman, and she recounts to him, and the king appoints a certain eunuch to her, saying, “Give back all that she has, and all the increase of the field from the day of her leaving the land even until now.”
君王問那婦人，婦人便將那件事告訴了君王；君王於是將她的事，委託給一個宦官，吩咐他說：「凡這婦人的一切，和自從她離開此地直到今日，田地裏的一切出產，都應歸還給她。」
7 And Elisha comes to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram is sick, and it is declared to him, saying, “The man of God has come here.”
厄里叟來到大馬士革時，阿蘭王本哈達得正在患病，有人告訴君王說：「天主的人到這裏來了。」
8 And the king says to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go to meet the man of God, and you have sought YHWH by him, saying, Do I revive from this sickness?”
君王對哈匝耳說：「你隨身帶些禮物，去拜見天主的人，託他求問上主，我這病還能好嗎﹖」
9 And Hazael goes to meet him, and takes a present in his hand, even of every good thing of Damascus, a burden of forty camels, and he comes in and stands before him, and says, “Your son Ben-Hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Do I revive from this sickness?”
哈匝耳就帶了四十匹駱駝，滿載著大馬士革出產的上等禮品，前去拜見先知；到了以後，就站在先知面前說：「你的弟子阿蘭王本哈達得打發我來問你：我這病還能好嗎﹖」
10 And Elisha says to him, “Go, say, You certainly do not revive, seeing [that] YHWH has showed me that he surely dies.”
厄里叟對他說：「你去告訴他：一定會好；但上主指示我：他一定要死。」
11 And he sets his face, indeed, he sets [it] until he is ashamed, and the man of God weeps.
厄里叟定睛凝視哈匝耳，直使哈匝耳感到慚愧。這時天主的人就哭了。
12 And Hazael says, “Why is my lord weeping?” And he says, “Because I have known the evil that you do to the sons of Israel—you send their fortifications into fire, and you slay their young men with sword, and you dash their sucklings to pieces, and you rip up their pregnant women.”
哈匝耳問說：「我主，你為什麼哭﹖」先知回答說：「因為我已知道你將要加於以色列子民的惡行：你要放火焚毀他們的堡壘，用刀殺死他們的青年，摔死他們的兒童，剖開他們的孕婦。」
13 And Hazael says, “But what [is] your servant—the dog, that he does this great thing?” And Elisha says, “YHWH has showed me you—king of Aram.”
哈匝耳說：「你的僕人算什麼﹖只不過是一條狗，他如何能作出這樣的大事﹖」厄里叟回答說：「上主已指示給我，你要作阿蘭王。」
14 And he goes from Elisha, and comes to his lord, and he says to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he says, “He said to me, You certainly recover.”
哈匝耳就離開厄里叟，回去見他的主上；君王問他說：「厄里叟對你說了些什麼﹖」他回答說：「他告訴我：你一定會好。」
15 And it comes to pass on the next day, that he takes the coarse cloth, and dips [it] in water, and spreads [it] on his face, and he dies, and Hazael reigns in his stead.
到了第二天，哈匝耳拿了被衾浸在水中蒙在君王的臉上，君王就這樣死了；哈匝耳就篡位為王。
16 And in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel—and Jehoshaphat [is] king of Judah—Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, has reigned;
以色列王阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭五年，猶大王約沙法特的兒子約蘭登極為猶大王。
17 he was a son of thirty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
他即位時年三十二歲，在耶路撒冷為王八年。
18 And he walks in the way of the kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab did, for a daughter of Ahab was to him for a wife, and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH,
他走了以色列王所走的道路，像阿哈布家所行的一樣，因為他娶了阿哈布的女兒為妻，行了上主視為惡的事。
19 and YHWH was not willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of His servant David, as He said to him, to give a lamp to him—to his sons [for] all the days.
但是，上主為了他僕人達味的緣故，不願消滅猶大，因為他曾向達味應許過，他的子孫中，要永遠給他留下一盞明燈。
20 In his days Edom has revolted from under the hand of Judah, and they cause a king to reign over them,
約蘭年間，厄東人脫離了猶大的統治，自立為王；
21 and Joram passes over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, and he himself has risen by night, and strikes Edom that is coming around to him, and the heads of the chariots, and the people flee to their tents;
那時，約蘭率領自己所有的戰車，到了匝依爾，乘夜間起來，衝出了包圍他和那些戰車長的厄東人，軍民纔得逃回自己的帳幕。
22 and Edom revolts from under the hand of Judah until this day; then Libnah revolts at that time.
這樣，厄東人脫離了猶大的統治，直到今日。同時，里貝納也背叛了猶大。
23 And the rest of the matters of Joram and all that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
約蘭其餘的事蹟，他的一切作為，都記載在猶大列王實錄上。
24 And Joram lies with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the City of David, and his son Ahaziah reigns in his stead.
約蘭與列祖同眠後，與他的列祖葬在達味城；他的兒子阿哈齊雅繼位為王。
25 In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, has reigned;
以色列王阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭十二年，猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅登極為王。
26 Ahaziah [is] a son of twenty-two years in his reigning, and he has reigned one year in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Athaliah daughter of Omri, king of Israel,
他即位時，年二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王一年。他的母親名叫阿塔里雅，是以色列王敖默黎的孫女。
27 and he walks in the way of the house of Ahab, and does evil in the eyes of YHWH, like the house of Ahab, for he [is] son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
阿哈齊雅走了阿哈布的道路，行了上主視為惡的事，同阿哈布家一樣，因為他是阿哈布家的女婿。
28 And he goes with Joram son of Ahab to battle with Hazael king of Aram in Ramoth-Gilead, and the Arameans strike Joram,
他同阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭往辣摩特基肋阿得去，與阿蘭王哈匝耳交戰。阿蘭人擊傷了耶曷蘭，
29 and Joram the king turns back to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds with which the Arameans strike him in Ramah, in his fighting with Hazael king of Aram, and Ahaziah son of Jehoram, king of Judah, has gone down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, for he is sick.
耶曷蘭就回到依次勒耳，治療他在辣摩特與阿蘭人交戰時所受的傷。猶大王約蘭的兒子阿哈齊雅，由於阿哈布的兒子耶曷蘭患病，就下到依次勒耳去探望他。
