< 2 Kings 1 >
1 Forsothe Moab trespasside ayens Israel, after that Achab was deed.
亚哈死后,摩押背叛以色列。
2 And Ocozie felde thorou the aleris of his soler, which he hadde in Samarie, and was sijk; and he sente messangeris, and seide to hem, Go ye, and councele Belzebub, god of Acharon, whether Y may lyue after this sijknesse of me.
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 Forsothe the aungel of the Lord spak to Elye of Thesbi, and seide, Rise thou, and go doun into the metynge of the messangeris of the kyng of Samarie; and thou schalt seie to hem, Whether God is not in Israel, that ye go to counsel Belzebub, god of Acharon?
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 For which thing the Lord seith these thingis, Thou schalt not go doun of the bed, on which thou stiedist.
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 And Elie yede. And the messangeris turneden ayen to Ocozie. And he seide to hem, Whi turneden ye ayen?
使者回来见王,王问他们说:“你们为什么回来呢?”
6 And thei answeriden to hym, A man mette vs, and seide to vs, Go ye, turne ye ayen to the kyng, that sente you; and ye schulen seie to him, The Lord seith these thingis, Whether for God was not in Israel, thou sendist, that Belzebub, god of Acharon, be counselid? Therfor thou schalt not go doun of the bed, on which thou stiedist, but thou schalt die bi deeth.
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 Which Ocozie seide to hem, Of what figure and abite is that man, that mette you, and spak to you these wordis?
王问他们说:“迎着你们来告诉你们这话的,是怎样的人?”
8 And thei seiden, An heeri man, and gird with a girdil of skyn in the reynes. Which seide to hem, It is Elie of Thesbi.
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 And he sente to Elie a prince of fifti, and fifti men that weren vndur hym. Which prince stiede to hym, and seide to hym, sittynge in the cop of the hil, Man of God, the kyng comaundith, that thou come doun.
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 And Elie answeride, and seide to the prince of fifti men, If Y am the man of God, fier come doun fro heuene, and deuoure thee and thi fifti men. Therfor fier cam doun fro heuene, and deuouride hym, and the fifti men that weren with hym.
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 Eft he sente to Elie another prince of fifti, and fifti men with hym, which spak to Helye, Man of God, the kyng seith these thingis, Haste thou, come thou doun.
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 Elie answeride, and seide, If Y am the man of God, fier come doun fro heuene, and deuoure thee and thi fifti men. Therfor the fier of God cam doun fro heuene, and deuouride hym and hise fifti 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 Eft he sente the thridde prince of fifti men, and fifti men that weren with hym. And whanne this prynce hadde come, he bowide the knees ayens Elie, and preiede hym, and seide, Man of God, nyle thou dispise my lijf, and the lyues of thi seruauntis that ben with me.
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 Lo! fier cam doun fro heuene, and deuouride tweyne, the firste princis of fifti men, and the fifti men that weren with hem; but now, Y biseche, that thou haue mercy on my lijf.
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 Forsothe the aungel of the Lord spak to Helie of Thesbi, and seide, Go thou doun with hym; drede thou not. Therfor Elie roos, and cam doun with hym to the kyng;
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 and he spak to the kyng, The Lord seith thes thingis, For thou sentist messangeris to counsele Belzebub, god of Acharon, as if no God were in Israel, of whom thow myytist axe a word; therfor thou schalt not go doun of the bed, on which thou stiedist, but thou schalt die bi deeth.
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 Therfor he was deed bi the word of the Lord, which word Elie spak; and Joram, hys brothir, regnyde for hym, in the secounde yeer of Joram, the sone of Josephat, kyng of Juda; for Ocozie hadde no sone.
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 Sotheli the residue of wordis of Ocozie, whiche he wrouyte, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Israel?
亚哈谢其余所行的事都写在以色列诸王记上。
