2 Kings 1
1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
亚哈死后，摩押背叛以色列。
2 Then Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and was injured. So he sent for messengers and said to them, “Go, ask Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
亚哈谢在撒马利亚，一日从楼上的栏杆里掉下来，就病了；于是差遣使者说：“你们去问以革伦的神巴力·西卜，我这病能好不能好。”
3 But the angel of Yahweh said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and ask them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?
但耶和华的使者对提斯比人以利亚说：“你起来，去迎着撒马利亚王的使者，对他们说：‘你们去问以革伦神巴力·西卜，岂因以色列中没有 神吗？’
4 Therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed to where you have gone up; instead, you will certainly die.”'” Then Elijah left.
所以耶和华如此说：‘你必不下你所上的床，必定要死！’”以利亚就去了。
5 When the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he said to them, “Why have you returned?”
使者回来见王，王问他们说：“你们为什么回来呢？”
6 They said to him, “A man came to meet us who said to us, 'Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him, “Yahweh says this: 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you sent men to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed to which you have gone up; instead, you will certainly die.'”'”
使者回答说：“有一个人迎着我们来，对我们说：‘你们回去见差你们来的王，对他说：耶和华如此说，你差人去问以革伦神巴力·西卜，岂因以色列中没有 神吗？所以你必不下所上的床，必定要死。’”
7 Ahaziah said to his messengers, “What sort of man was he, the one who came up to meet you and said these words to you?”
王问他们说：“迎着你们来告诉你们这话的，是怎样的人？”
8 They answered him, “He wore a garment made of hair and had a leather belt wrapped around his waist.” So the king replied, “That is Elijah the Tishbite.”
回答说：“他身穿毛衣，腰束皮带。”王说：“这必是提斯比人以利亚。”
9 Then the king sent a captain with fifty soldiers to Elijah. The captain went up to Elijah where he was sitting on the top of a hill. The captain spoke to him, “You, man of God, the king has said, 'Come down.'”
于是，王差遣五十夫长，带领五十人去见以利亚，他就上到以利亚那里；以利亚正坐在山顶上。五十夫长对他说：“神人哪，王吩咐你下来！”
10 Elijah answered and said to the captain, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
以利亚回答说：“我若是神人，愿火从天上降下来，烧灭你和你那五十人！”于是有火从天上降下来，烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人。
11 Again King Ahaziah sent to Elijah another captain with fifty soldiers. This captain also said to Elijah, “You, man of God, the king says, 'Come down quickly.'”
王第二次差遣一个五十夫长，带领五十人去见以利亚。五十夫长对以利亚说：“神人哪，王吩咐你快快下来！”
12 Elijah answered and said to them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” Again the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
以利亚回答说：“我若是神人，愿火从天上降下来，烧灭你和你那五十人！”于是 神的火从天上降下来，烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人。
13 Yet again the king sent a third group of fifty warriors. This captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and implored him and said to him, “You, man of God, I ask you, let my life and the life of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight.
王第三次差遣一个五十夫长，带领五十人去。这五十夫长上去，双膝跪在以利亚面前，哀求他说：“神人哪，愿我的性命和你这五十个仆人的性命在你眼前看为宝贵！
14 Indeed, fire came down from heaven and consumed the first two captains with their men, but now let my life be precious in your sight.”
已经有火从天上降下来，烧灭前两次来的五十夫长和他们各自带的五十人；现在愿我的性命在你眼前看为宝贵！”
15 The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah arose and went down with him to the king.
耶和华的使者对以利亚说：“你同着他下去，不要怕他！”以利亚就起来，同着他下去见王，
16 Later Elijah said to Ahaziah, “This is what Yahweh says, 'You have sent messengers to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron. Is it because there is no God in Israel from whom you can ask for information? So now, you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up; you will certainly die.'”
对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘你差人去问以革伦神巴力·西卜，岂因以色列中没有 神可以求问吗？所以你必不下所上的床，必定要死！’”
17 So King Ahaziah died according to the word of Yahweh that Elijah had spoken. Joram began to reign in his place, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son.
亚哈谢果然死了，正如耶和华借以利亚所说的话。因他没有儿子，他兄弟约兰接续他作王，正在犹大王约沙法的儿子约兰第二年。
18 As for the other matters concerning Ahaziah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
亚哈谢其余所行的事都写在以色列诸王记上。
