< 2 Kings 6 >
1 And they said [the] sons of the prophets to Elisha here! please the place where we [are] dwelling there before you it is [too] cramped for us.
眾先知的弟子對厄里叟說:「看,我們同你住的地方太窄小了,
2 Let us go please to the Jordan and let us take from there each a beam one and let us make for ourselves there a place to dwell there and he said go.
請你讓我們到約旦河去,每人取一根樑木,在那裏建造我們的住所。」他答說:「你們去罷! 」
3 And he said the one be willing please and go with servants your and he said I I will go.
其中一個人說:「請你也同你的僕人一起去! 」厄里叟答說:「我去。」
4 And he went with them and they came the Jordan towards and they cut down trees.
先知便同他們一起去了。他們到了約旦河,就砍伐樹木。
5 And it was the one [was] making fall the beam and the iron it fell into the water and he cried out and he said alas! O lord my and it [was] asked.
其中一個,砍木樑時,斧頭掉在水裏了,就大聲叫喊說:哎唷! 我主,這把斧子是借來的啊! 」
6 And he said [the] man of God where? did it fall and he showed him the place and he cut off a piece of wood and he threw [it] there towards and he caused to float the iron.
天主的人問他說:「斧頭掉在那裏﹖」那人將那地方指給先知看。先知即砍下一塊木頭,丟在那裏,使斧頭浮了上來。
7 And he said lift [it] yourself and he stretched out hand his and he took it.
先知對他說:「你拿上來罷! 」他就伸手拿了上來。
8 And [the] king of Aram he was fighting against Israel and he consulted servants his saying [will be] to a place of a certain one a certain one encampments my.
阿蘭王同以色列交戰時,與自己的臣商議說:要在某某地方埋伏。
9 And he sent [the] man of God to [the] king of Israel saying take care from passing by the place this for there Aram [is] descending.
但天主的人打發人去見以色列王說:「你要小心提防,不要經過某某地方,因為阿蘭人已在那裏設下埋伏。」
10 And he sent [the] king of Israel to the place which he had spoken to him [the] man of God (and he warned him *Q(K)*) and he took care there not one [time] and not two [times].
以色列王就派人去偵察天主的人警告他的地方;他就小心防備,不只一兩次。
11 And it was enraged [the] heart of [the] king of Aram on the matter this and he called to servants his and he said to them ¿ not will you tell to me who? from [those] who [belong] to us [is] to [the] king of Israel.
阿蘭王為此事心中頗為煩惱,遂將臣僕召來,對他說:「難道你們不能告訴我:我們中誰支持以色列王嗎﹖」
12 And he said one from servants his no O lord my the king for Elisha the prophet who [is] in Israel he tells to [the] king of Israel the words which you speak in [the] chamber of lying down your.
一個臣僕答說:「我主,大王! 沒有誰支持,只有以色列的先知厄里叟,將君王在密室裏所談的事,都告訴了以色列王。」
13 And he said go and see where? [is] he so I may send so I may capture him and it was told to him saying there! in Dothan.
阿蘭王說:「你們去看看他在那裏,我好派人去捉拿。」有人告訴君王說:「他在多堂。」
14 And he sent there towards horses and chariotry and an army massive and they came night and they surrounded the city.
阿蘭王就打發馬隊戰車和強大的部隊前去,夜間到了那裏,將城圍住。
15 And he rose early [the] servant of [the] man of God to arise and he went out and there! an army [was] surrounding the city and horse[s] and chariotry and he said servant his to him alas! O lord my how? will we do.
天主的人的僕人清早起來出門時,看見軍隊車馬將城包圍了,就對先知說:「哎! 我主,我們怎麼辦﹖」
16 And he said may not you be afraid for [are] many [those] who [are] with us more than [those] who [are] them.
先知答說:「不必害怕,因為偕同我們的,比他們的還多。」
17 And he prayed Elisha and he said O Yahweh open please eyes his so he may see and he opened Yahweh [the] eyes of the servant and he saw and there! the hill it was full horses and chariotry of fire around Elisha.
厄里叟就祈禱說:「上主,求你開啟他的眼,叫他看見。」上主就開了僕人的眼,他看見遍山都是火馬車,圍繞著厄里叟。
18 And they came down to him and he prayed Elisha to Yahweh and he said strike please the nation this with sudden blindness and he struck them with sudden blindness according to [the] word of Elisha.
敵人下到先知那裏的時候,厄里叟懇求上主說:「求你打擊這個民族,使他們眼目失明。」上主果然照厄里叟的話打擊了他們,使他們眼目失明。
19 And he said to them Elisha not this [is] the way and not this [is] the city come after me so let me lead you to the man whom you seek! and he led them Samaria towards.
厄里叟對他們說:「不是這條路,也不是這座城;你們跟我來,我要領你們到你們尋找的人那裏去。」於是先知領他們到了撒瑪黎雅。
20 And it was when came they Samaria and he said Elisha O Yahweh open [the] eyes of these [men] so they may see and he opened Yahweh eyes their and they saw and there! [they were] in [the] midst of Samaria.
他們一進了撒瑪黎雅,厄里叟就祈禱說:「上主,開啟這些人的眼睛,叫他們看見。」上主果然開了他們的眼睛;他們一看,自己竟在撒瑪黎雅城內。
21 And he said [the] king of Israel to Elisha when saw he them ¿ will I strike [them] down will I strike [them] down? O father my.
以色列王看見他們,就對厄里叟說:「我父,要殺死他們嗎﹖」
22 And he said not you must strike [them] down ¿ [those] whom you have taken captive by sword your and by bow your [are] you about to strike down put food and water before them so they may eat and they may drink and they may go to master their.
厄里叟答說:「不要殺他們;你自己用弓劍擄來的人,你豈可殺死﹖你要為這些人預備飯和水,叫他們吃喝,然後讓他們回到自己的主上那裏去。」
23 And he gave a feast for them a feast great and they ate and they drank and he let go them and they went to master their and not they repeated again [the] marauding bands of Aram to come in [the] land of Israel.
君王就給他們預備了盛宴,叫他們吃了喝了,打發他們回到自己的主上那裏去。從此,阿蘭隊伍再沒有侵犯以色列地方。
24 And it was after thus and he gathered Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram all army his and he went up and he laid siege on Samaria.
這事以後,阿蘭王本哈達得集合了他所有的軍隊,上來圍困撒瑪黎雅。
25 And it was a famine great in Samaria and there! [they were] laying siege on it until was [the] head of a donkey for eighty silver and [the] fourth part of the kab (quano *Q(K)*) for five silver.
撒瑪黎雅被圍困後,陷於嚴重的飢荒,甚至一個驢頭,值八十「協刻耳」銀子,四分之一「卡步」豆莢,值五「協刻耳」銀子。
26 And he was [the] king of Israel passing by on the wall and a woman she cried out to him saying save! O lord my the king.
當以色列王從城牆上經過時,有一個婦人呼求他說:「我主大王,救救我罷! 」
27 And he said may not he save you Yahweh from where? will I save you ¿ from the threshing floor or? from the wine-press.
君王答說:「如果上主不救你,我怎能救你﹖靠禾場﹖靠酒池﹖」
28 And he said to her the king what? [is] to you and she said the woman this she said to me give son your so we may eat him this day and son my we will eat tomorrow.
君王問那婦人說:「你有什麼事﹖」婦人答說:「這個女人曾對我說:把你的兒子交出來,我們今天吃;留下我的兒子,我們明天吃。
29 And we cooked son my and we ate him and I said to her on the day other give son your so we may eat him and she had hidden son her.
於是我們就把我的兒子煮著吃了。第二天我對那女人說:把你的兒子交出來給我們吃,她卻把自己的兒子藏了起來。」
30 And it was when heard the king [the] words of the woman and he tore clothes his and he [was] passing by on the wall and it saw the people and there! sackcloth [was] on flesh his from inside.
君王聽了這婦人的話,就撕裂了自己的衣服,─當他正在城牆上經過,民眾都看見了他貼身穿著苦衣,─
31 And he said thus may he do to me God and thus may he add if it will remain standing [the] head of Elisha [the] son of Shaphat on him this day.
說「如果沙法特的兒子厄里叟的頭,今天還留在他身上,願天主嚴厲,且加倍嚴厲地懲罰我! 」
32 And Elisha [was] sitting in house his and the elders [were] sitting with him and he sent a man from to before him before he came the messenger to him and he - he said to the elders ¿ do you see that he has sent [the] son of the murderer this to remove head my look - when comes the messenger shut the door and you will push him with the door ¿ not [is] [the] sound of [the] feet of master his after him.
那時厄里叟正坐在屋裏,長老們同他坐在一起,君王派一個人在他以前去,但是這人還未來到,厄里叟就對長老們說:「你們看,這個兇手之子,竟派人來要斬我的頭。你們注意,使者來到時,你們要把門關上,把他關在門外;在他後面不就是他主上的腳步聲嗎﹖」
33 Still he [was] speaking with them and there! the messenger [was] coming down to him and he said here! this the calamity [is] from with Yahweh why? will I wait for Yahweh still.
先知還同他們說話的時候,君王就下到他那裏說:「這災難是由上主來的,我對上主還有什麼指望﹖」
