< 2 Kings 3 >

1 And Jehoram [the] son of Ahab he became king over Israel in Samaria in year eight-teen of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah and he reigned two [plus] ten year[s].
猶大王約沙法十八年,亞哈的兒子約蘭在撒馬利亞登基作了以色列王十二年。
2 And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like father his and like mother his and he removed [the] sacred pillar of Baal which he had made father his.
他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事,但不致像他父母所行的,因為除掉他父所造巴力的柱像。
3 Only to [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat which he caused to sin Israel he clung not he turned aside from it.
然而,他貼近尼八的兒子耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪裏的那罪,總不離開。
4 And Mesha [the] king of Moab he was a sheep-breeder and he returned to [the] king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams wool.
摩押王米沙牧養許多羊,每年將十萬羊羔的毛和十萬公綿羊的毛給以色列王進貢。
5 And it was when died Ahab and he rebelled [the] king of Moab against [the] king of Israel.
亞哈死後,摩押王背叛以色列王。
6 And he went out the king Jehoram on the day that from Samaria and he mustered all Israel.
那時約蘭王出撒馬利亞,數點以色列眾人。
7 And he went and he sent to Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah saying [the] king of Moab he has rebelled against me ¿ will you go with me against Moab for battle and he said I will go up as me as you as people my as people your as horses my as horses your.
前行的時候,差人去見猶大王約沙法,說:「摩押王背叛我,你肯同我去攻打摩押嗎?」他說:「我肯上去,你我不分彼此,我的民與你的民一樣,我的馬與你的馬一樣。」
8 And he said where? this [is] the way [which] we will go up and he said [the] way of [the] wilderness of Edom.
約蘭說:「我們從哪條路上去呢?」回答說:「從以東曠野的路上去。」
9 And he went [the] king of Israel and [the] king of Judah and [the] king of Edom and they went around a journey of seven days and not it belonged water to the army and to the animal[s] which [was] at feet their.
於是,以色列王和猶大王,並以東王,都一同去繞行七日的路程;軍隊和所帶的牲畜沒有水喝。
10 And he said [the] king of Israel alas! for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.
以色列王說:「哀哉!耶和華招聚我們這三王,乃要交在摩押人的手裏。」
11 And he said Jehoshaphat ¿ [is] there not here a prophet of Yahweh and let us consult Yahweh from him and he answered one from [the] servants of [the] king of Israel and he said [is] here Elisha [the] son of Shaphat who he poured water on [the] hands of Elijah.
約沙法說:「這裏不是有耶和華的先知嗎?我們可以託他求問耶和華。」以色列王的一個臣子回答說:「這裏有沙法的兒子以利沙,就是從前服事以利亞的。」
12 And he said Jehoshaphat there him [is] [the] word of Yahweh and they went down to him [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and [the] king of Edom.
約沙法說:「他必有耶和華的話。」於是以色列王和約沙法,並以東王都下去見他。
13 And he said Elisha to [the] king of Israel what? [is] to me and to you go to [the] prophets of father your and to [the] prophets of mother your and he said to him [the] king of Israel may not [it be so] for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.
以利沙對以色列王說:「我與你何干?去問你父親的先知和你母親的先知吧!」以色列王對他說:「不要這樣說,耶和華招聚我們這三王,乃要交在摩押人的手裏。」
14 And he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh of hosts whom I stand before him for if not [the] face of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah I [am] lifting up if I will look to you and if I will see you.
以利沙說:「我指着所事奉永生的萬軍耶和華起誓,我若不看猶大王約沙法的情面,必不理你,不顧你。
15 And now fetch for me a musician and it was when played the musician and it was on him [the] hand of Yahweh.
現在你們給我找一個彈琴的來。」彈琴的時候,耶和華的靈就降在以利沙身上。
16 And he said thus he says Yahweh make the wadi this ditches - ditches.
他便說:「耶和華如此說:『你們要在這谷中滿處挖溝;
17 For thus - he says Yahweh not you will see wind and not you will see rain and the wadi that it will be filled water and you will drink you and livestock your and animal[s] your.
因為耶和華如此說:你們雖不見風,不見雨,這谷必滿了水,使你們和牲畜有水喝。』
18 And it will be trifling this in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he will give Moab in hand your.
在耶和華眼中這還算為小事,他也必將摩押人交在你們手中。
19 And you will strike down every city of fortification and every city of choice and every tree good you will make fall and all [the] springs of water you will stop up and every portion of land good you will spoil with stones.
你們必攻破一切堅城美邑,砍伐各種佳樹,塞住一切水泉,用石頭糟踏一切美田。」
20 And it was in the morning when went up the offering and there! waters [were] coming from [the] direction of Edom and it was filled the land the waters.
次日早晨,約在獻祭的時候,有水從以東而來,遍地就滿了水。
21 And all Moab they had heard that they had come up the kings to fight against them and they were summoned from every [one who] girds on a belt and up-wards and they took their stand at the border.
摩押眾人聽見這三王上來要與他們爭戰,凡能頂盔貫甲的,無論老少,盡都聚集站在邊界上。
22 And they rose early in the morning and the sun it shone on the water and they saw Moab from before the water red like blood.
次日早晨,日光照在水上,摩押人起來,看見對面水紅如血,
23 And they said [is] blood this certainly they have fought one another the kings and they have struck down each neighbor his and therefore to the plunder O Moab.
就說:「這是血啊!必是三王互相擊殺,俱都滅亡。摩押人哪,我們現在去搶奪財物吧!」
24 And they came to [the] camp of Israel and they arose Israel and they struck down Moab and they fled from before them (and they struck down *Q(K)*) it and they struck down Moab.
摩押人到了以色列營,以色列人就起來攻打他們,以致他們在以色列人面前逃跑。以色列人往前追殺摩押人,直殺入摩押的境內,
25 And the cities they tore down and every portion of land good they threw each stone his and they filled it and every spring of water they stopped up and every tree good they made fall until he left behind stones its in Kir Hareseth and they surrounded [it] the slingers and they struck it.
拆毀摩押的城邑,各人拋石填滿一切美田,塞住一切水泉,砍伐各種佳樹,只剩下吉珥‧哈列設的石牆;甩石的兵在四圍攻打那城。
26 And he saw [the] king of Moab that it was [too] strong for him the battle and he took him seven hundred man [who] drew a sword to break through to [the] king of Edom and not they were able.
摩押王見陣勢甚大,難以對敵,就率領七百拿刀的兵,要衝過陣去到以東王那裏,卻是不能;
27 And he took son his the firstborn who he will reign in place of him and he offered up him a burnt offering on the wall and it was wrath great towards Israel and they departed from on him and they returned to the land.
便將那應當接續他作王的長子,在城上獻為燔祭。以色列人遭遇耶和華的大怒,於是三王離開摩押王,各回本國去了。
