< 2 Kings 7 >

1 And he said Elisha hear [the] word of Yahweh thus - he says Yahweh about this time - tomorrow a seah of fine flour for a shekel and two seahs barley for a shekel at [the] gate of Samaria.
以利沙說:「你們要聽耶和華的話,耶和華如此說:明日約到這時候,在撒馬利亞城門口,一細亞細麵要賣銀一舍客勒,二細亞大麥也要賣銀一舍客勒。」
2 And he answered the officer who [belonged] to the king [who] was leaning on hand his [the] man of God and he said here! Yahweh [is] making windows in the heavens ¿ will it happen the thing this and he said here you [are] about to see with own eyes your and from there not you will eat.
有一個攙扶王的軍長對神人說:「即便耶和華使天開了窗戶,也不能有這事。」以利沙說:「你必親眼看見,卻不得吃。」
3 And four men they were [people] having a skin disease [the] entrance of the gate and they said each to neighbor his why? [are] we sitting here until we have died.
在城門那裏有四個長大痲瘋的人,他們彼此說:「我們為何坐在這裏等死呢?
4 If we said we will enter the city and the famine [is] in the city and we will die there and if we sat here and we will die and therefore come so let us fall to [the] camp of Aram if they will let live us we will live and if they will put to death us and we will die.
我們若說,進城去吧!城裏有饑荒,必死在那裏;若在這裏坐着不動,也必是死。來吧,我們去投降亞蘭人的軍隊,他們若留我們的活命,就活着;若殺我們,就死了吧!」
5 And they arose at twilight to go to [the] camp of Aram and they came to [the] edge of [the] camp of Aram and there! there not there [was] anyone.
黃昏的時候,他們起來往亞蘭人的營盤去;到了營邊,不見一人在那裏。
6 And [the] Lord he had caused to hear - [the] camp of Aram a sound of chariotry a sound of horse[s] a sound of an army large and they said each to brother his here! he has hired on us [the] king of Israel [the] kings of the Hittites and [the] kings of Egypt to come on us.
因為主使亞蘭人的軍隊聽見車馬的聲音,是大軍的聲音;他們就彼此說:「這必是以色列王賄買赫人的諸王和埃及人的諸王來攻擊我們。」
7 And they arose and they fled at twilight and they abandoned tents their and horses their and donkeys their the camp [was] just as it [was] and they fled to life their.
所以,在黃昏的時候他們起來逃跑,撇下帳棚、馬、驢,營盤照舊,只顧逃命。
8 And they came the [people] having a skin disease these to [the] edge of the camp and they went into a tent one and they ate and they drank and they carried off from there silver and gold and clothes and they went and they hid [them] and they returned and they went into a tent another and they carried off [things] from there and they went and they hid [them].
那些長大痲瘋的到了營邊,進了帳棚,吃了喝了,且從其中拿出金銀和衣服來,去收藏了;回來又進了一座帳棚,從其中拿出財物來去收藏了。
9 And they said each to neighbor his not right - we [are] doing the day this [is] a day of good news it and we [are] silent and we will delay until [the] light of the morning and it will find us punishment and therefore come so let us go and let us tell [the] household of the king.
那時,他們彼此說:「我們所做的不好!今日是有好信息的日子,我們竟不作聲!若等到天亮,罪必臨到我們。來吧,我們與王家報信去!」
10 And they went and they called out to [the] gatekeeper of the city and they told to them saying we went into [the] camp of Aram and there! there not there [was] anyone and [the] sound of anyone that except the horse[s] tied up and the donkey[s] tied up and tents [are] just as they [were].
他們就去叫守城門的,告訴他們說:「我們到了亞蘭人的營,不見一人在那裏,也無人聲,只有拴着的馬和驢,帳棚都照舊。」
11 And he called out the gatekeepers and they told [the] household of the king within.
守城門的叫了眾守門的人來,他們就進去與王家報信。
12 And he arose the king night and he said to servants his let me tell please to you [that] which they have done to us Aram they know that [are] hungry we and they have gone out from the camp to hide themselves (in open country *Q(K)*) saying that they will come out from the city and we will seize them alive and into the city we will go.
王夜間起來,對臣僕說:「我告訴你們亞蘭人向我們如何行。他們知道我們飢餓,所以離營,埋伏在田野,說:『以色列人出城的時候,我們就活捉他們,得以進城。』」
13 And he answered one from servants his and he said and they may take please five of the horses remaining which they are left in it here they [will be] like all ([the] multitude of *Q(K)*) Israel which they are left in it here they [will be] like all [the] multitude of Israel which they have come to an end and let us send and we may see.
有一個臣僕對王說:「我們不如用城裏剩下之馬中的五匹馬(馬和城裏剩下的以色列人都是一樣,快要滅絕),打發人去窺探。」
14 And people took two chariot[s] horses and he sent [them] the king after [the] camp of Aram saying go and see.
於是取了兩輛車和馬,王差人去追尋亞蘭軍,說:「你們去窺探窺探。」
15 And they went after them to the Jordan and there! all the road [was] full clothes and equipment which they had thrown away Aram (in hurrying of them *Q(K)*) and they returned the messengers and they told to the king.
他們就追尋到約旦河,看見滿道上都是亞蘭人急跑時丟棄的衣服器具,使者就回來報告王。
16 And it went out the people and they plundered [the] camp of Aram and it was a seah of fine flour for a shekel and two seahs barley for a shekel according to [the] word of Yahweh.
眾人就出去,擄掠亞蘭人的營盤。於是一細亞細麵賣銀一舍客勒,二細亞大麥也賣銀一舍客勒,正如耶和華所說的。
17 And the king he appointed the officer who [was] leaning on hand his over the gate and they trampled him the people in the gate and he died just as he had spoken [the] man of God who he spoke when came down the king to him.
王派攙扶他的那軍長在城門口彈壓,眾人在那裏將他踐踏,他就死了,正如神人在王下來見他的時候所說的。
18 And it was as had spoken [the] man of God to the king saying two seahs barley for a shekel and a seah of fine flour for a shekel it will be about this time tomorrow in [the] gate of Samaria.
神人曾對王說:「明日約到這時候,在撒馬利亞城門口,二細亞大麥要賣銀一舍客勒,一細亞細麵也要賣銀一舍客勒。」
19 And he had answered the officer [the] man of God and he said and here! Yahweh [is] making windows in the heavens ¿ will it happen according to the manner this and he said here you [are] about to see with own eyes your and from there not you will eat.
那軍長對神人說:「即便耶和華使天開了窗戶,也不能有這事。」神人說:「你必親眼看見,卻不得吃。」
20 And it happened to him thus and they trampled him the people in the gate and he died.
這話果然應驗在他身上;因為眾人在城門口將他踐踏,他就死了。
