1 Therfor thre yeeris passiden with out batel bitwixe Sirie and Israel.
亚兰国和以色列国三年没有争战。
2 Forsothe in the thridde yeer Josephat, king of Juda, yede doun to the kyng of Israel.
到第三年,犹大王约沙法下去见以色列王。
3 And the kyng of Israel seide to hise seruauntis, Witen ye not, that Ramoth of Galaad is oure, and we ben necgligent to take it fro the hoond of the kyng of Sirie?
以色列王对臣仆说:“你们不知道基列的拉末是属我们的吗?我们岂可静坐不动,不从亚兰王手里夺回来吗?”
4 And he seide to Josaphat, Whether thou schalt come with me to fiyte in to Ramoth of Galaad?
亚哈问约沙法说:“你肯同我去攻取基列的拉末吗?”约沙法对以色列王说:“你我不分彼此,我的民与你的民一样,我的马与你的马一样。”
5 And Josophat seide to the kyng of Israel, As Y am, so and thou; my puple and thi puple ben oon; and my knyytis and thy knyytis `ben oon. And Josephat seide to the kyng of Israel, Y preie thee, axe thou to dai the word of the Lord.
约沙法对以色列王说:“请你先求问耶和华。”
6 Therfor the kyng of Israel gaderide prophetis aboute foure hundrid men, and he seide to hem, Owe Y to go in to Ramoth of Galaad to fiyte, ethir to reste? Whiche answeriden, Stie thou, and the Lord schal yyue it in the hond of the kyng.
于是以色列王招聚先知,约有四百人,问他们说:“我上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以?”他们说:“可以上去,因为主必将那城交在王的手里。”
7 Forsothe Josephat seide, Is not here ony profete of the Lord, that we axe bi hym?
约沙法说:“这里不是还有耶和华的先知,我们可以求问他吗?”
8 And the kyng of Israel seide to Josephat, O man, Mychee, sone of Hiemla, is left, bi whom we moun axe the Lord; but Y hate hym, for he prophesieth not good to me, but yuel. To whome Josephat seide, Kyng, spek thou not so.
以色列王对约沙法说:“还有一个人,是音拉的儿子米该雅,我们可以托他求问耶和华。只是我恨他;因为他指着我所说的预言,不说吉语,单说凶言。”约沙法说:“王不必这样说。”
9 Therfor the kyng of Israel clepide summe chaumburleyn, and seide to hym, Haste thou to brynge Mychee, sone of Hiemla.
以色列王就召了一个太监来,说:“你快去,将音拉的儿子米该雅召来。”
10 Forsothe the kyng of Israel, and Josephat, kyng of Juda, saten, ech in his trone, clothid with kyngis ournement, in the large hows bisidis the dore of the yate of Samarie; and alle prophetis prophecieden in the siyt of hem.
以色列王和犹大王约沙法在撒马利亚城门前的空场上,各穿朝服,坐在位上,所有的先知都在他们面前说预言。
11 Also Sedechie, sone of Chanaan, made to hym silf hornes of yrun, and seide, The Lord God seith these thingis, With these thou schalt scatere Sirye, til thou do awei it.
基拿拿的儿子西底家造了两个铁角,说:“耶和华如此说:‘你要用这角抵触亚兰人,直到将他们灭尽。’”
12 And alle prophetis prophecieden in lijk maner, and seiden, Stye thou in to Ramoth of Galaad, and go thou with prosperite; and the Lord schal bitake thin enemyes in the hond of the kyng.
所有的先知也都这样预言说:“可以上基列的拉末去,必然得胜,因为耶和华必将那城交在王的手中。”
13 Sotheli the messanger, that yede to clepe Mychee, spak to hym, and seide, Lo! the wordis of prophetis with o mouth prechen goodis to the kyng; therfor thi word be lijk hem, and speke thou goodis.
那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅 说:“众先知一口同音地都向王说吉言,你不如与他们说一样的话,也说吉言。”
14 To whom Mychee seide, The Lord lyueth, for what euer thing the Lord schal seie to me, Y schal speke this.
米该雅说:“我指着永生的耶和华起誓,耶和华对我说什么,我就说什么。”
15 Therfor he cam to the kyng. And the kyng seide to hym, Mychee, owen we go in to Ramoth of Galaad to fiyte, ether ceesse? To which kyng he answeride, Stie thou, and go in prosperite; and the Lord schal bitake it `in to the hond of the kyng.
米该雅到王面前,王问他说:“米该雅啊,我们上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以?”他回答说:“可以上去,必然得胜,耶和华必将那城交在王的手中。”
16 Forsothe the kyng seide to hym, Eft and eft Y coniure thee, that thou speke not to me, not but that that is soth in the name of the Lord.
王对他说:“我当嘱咐你几次,你才奉耶和华的名向我说实话呢?”
17 And he seide, Y siy al Israel scaterid in the hillis, as scheep not hauynge a scheepherde; and the Lord seide, These han no lord, ech man turne ayen in to his hows in pees.
米该雅说:“我看见以色列众民散在山上,如同没有牧人的羊群一般。耶和华说:‘这民没有主人,他们可以平平安安地各归各家去。’”
18 Therfor the kyng of Israel seide to Josaphat, Whethir Y seide not to thee, that he prophecieth not good to me, but euere yuel?
以色列王对约沙法说:“我岂没有告诉你,这人指着我所说的预言,不说吉语单说凶言吗?”
19 Sotheli thilke Mychee addide, and seide, Therefore here thou the word of the Lord; Y siy the Lord sittynge on his trone, and Y siy al the oost of heuene stondynge nyy hym, on the riyt side and on the left side.
米该雅说:“你要听耶和华的话!我看见耶和华坐在宝座上,天上的万军侍立在他左右。
20 And the Lord seide, Who schal disseyue Achab, kyng of Israel, that he stye, and falle in Ramoth of Galaad? And oon seide siche wordis, and another in anothir maner.
耶和华说:‘谁去引诱亚哈上基列的拉末去阵亡呢?’这个就这样说,那个就那样说。
21 Sotheli a spirit yede out, and stood bifor the Lord, and seide, Y schal disseyue hym. To whom the Lord spak, In what thing?
随后有一个神灵出来,站在耶和华面前,说:‘我去引诱他。’
22 And he seide, Y schal go out, and Y schal be a spirit of leesyng in the mouth of alle hise prophetis. And the Lord seide, Thou schalt disseyue, and schalt haue the maystry; go thou out, and do so.
耶和华问他说:‘你用何法呢?’他说:‘我去,要在他众先知口中作谎言的灵。’耶和华说:‘这样,你必能引诱他,你去如此行吧!’
23 Now therfor, lo! the Lord yaf a spirit of leesyng in the mouth of alle prophetis that ben here; and the Lord spak yuel ayens thee.
现在耶和华使谎言的灵入了你这些先知的口,并且耶和华已经命定降祸与你。”
24 Forsothe Sedechie, sone of Canaan, neiyede, and smoot Mychee on the cheke, and seide, Whether the Spirit of the Lord forsook me, and spak to thee?
基拿拿的儿子西底家前来,打米该雅的脸,说:“耶和华的灵从哪里离开我与你说话呢?”
25 And Mychee seide, Thou schalt se in that dai, whanne thou schalt go in to closet with ynne closet, that thou be hid.
米该雅说:“你进严密的屋子藏躲的那日,就必看见了。”
26 And the kyng of Israel seide, Take ye Mychee, and dwelle he at Amon, prince of the citee, and at Joas, the sone of Amalech;
以色列王说:“将米该雅带回,交给邑宰亚们和王的儿子约阿施,说
27 and seie ye to hem, The kyng seith these thingis, Sende ye this man in to prisoun, and susteyne ye hym with breed of tribulacioun, and with watir of angwisch, til Y turne ayen in pees.
王如此说,把这个人下在监里,使他受苦,吃不饱喝不足,等候我平平安安地回来。”
28 And Mychee seide, If thou schalt turne ayen in pees, the Lord spak not in me. And he seide, Here ye, alle puplis.
米该雅说:“你若能平平安安地回来,那就是耶和华没有借我说这话了”;又说:“众民哪,你们都要听!”
29 Therfor the kyng of Israel stiede, and Josaphat, kyng of Juda, in to Ramoth of Galaad.
以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了。
30 Therfor the kyng of Israel seide to Josephat, Take thou armeris, and entre thou in to batel, and be thou clothid in thi clothis, that is, noble signes of the kyng. Certis the kyng of Israel chaungide hise clothing, and entride in to batel.
以色列王对约沙法说:“我要改装上阵,你可以仍穿王服。”以色列王就改装上阵。
31 Sotheli the kyng of Sirie hadde comaundid to two and thritti princes of charis, and seide, Ye schulen not fiyte ayens ony man lesse, ethir more, no but ayens the kyng of Israel oonli.
先是亚兰王吩咐他的三十二个车兵长说:“他们的兵将,无论大小,你们都不可与他们争战,只要与以色列王争战。”
32 Therfor whanne the princes of charis hadden seyn Josephat, thei suposiden that he was king of Israel, and bi feersnesse maad thei fouyten ayens hym.
车兵长看见约沙法,便说:“这必是以色列王!”就转过去与他争战,约沙法便呼喊。
33 And Josephat criede; and the princis of charis vndurstoden, that it was not the king of Israel, and thei ceessiden fro hym.
车兵长见不是以色列王,就转去不追他了。
34 Sotheli sum man bente a bowe, and dresside an arowe in to vncerteyn, and bi hap he smoot the kyng of Israel bitwixe the lunge and the stomak. And the kyng seide to his charietere, Turne thin hond, and cast me out of the oost, for Y am woundid greuousli.
有一人随便开弓,恰巧射入以色列王的甲缝里。王对赶车的说:“我受了重伤,你转过车来,拉我出阵吧!”
35 Therfor batel was ioyned in that dai, and the kyng of Israel stood in his chare ayens men of Sirie, and he was deed at euentid. Forsothe the blood of the wounde fletide doun in to the bothome of the chare.
那日,阵势越战越猛,有人扶王站在车上,抵挡亚兰人。到晚上,王就死了,血从伤处流在车中。
36 And a criere sownede in al the oost, before that the sunne yede doun, and seide, Ech man turne ayen in to his citee, and in to his lond.
约在日落的时候,有号令传遍军中,说:“各归本城,各归本地吧!”

38 And thei waischiden his chare in the cisterne of Samarie, and doggis lickiden his blood, and thei wayschiden the reynes, bi the word of the Lord whiche he hadde spoke.
又有人把他的车洗在撒马利亚的池旁(妓女在那里洗澡),狗来舔他的血,正如耶和华所说的话。

43 And he yede in al the weye of Asa, his fadir, and bowide not fro it; and he dide that, that was riytful in the siyt of the Lord. Netheles he dide not awey hiy thingis, for yit the puple made sacrifice, and brente encense in hiy places.
