< 2 Kings 13 >
1 In the thre and twentithe yeer of Joas, sone of Ocozie, kyng of Juda, Joachaz, sone of Hieu, regnede on Israel, in Samarie seuentene yeer.
猶大王阿哈齊雅的兒子約阿士二十三年,耶胡的兒子約阿哈次在撒瑪黎雅登極作以色列王,在位凡十七年。
2 And he dide yuel bifor the Lord, and he suede the synnes of Jeroboam, sone of Nabath, that made Israel to do synne; and he bowide not awei fro tho.
他行了上主視為惡的事,隨從了乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕使以色列陷於罪惡的罪,始終沒有離開;
3 And the strong veniaunce of the Lord was wrooth ayens Israel, and he bitook hem in to the hondis of Azael, kyng of Sirie, and in the hond of Benadab, sone of Asael, in alle daies.
因此,上主向以色列大發忿怒,使他們不斷處於阿蘭王哈匝耳和哈匝耳的兒子本哈達得的權下。
4 Forsothe Joachaz bisouyte the face of the Lord, and the Lord herde hym; for he siy the anguysch of Israel, for the kyng of Sirie hadde al to brokun hem.
約阿哈次便求上主開恩,上主俯聽了他,因為他看見以色列實在遭受阿蘭王的迫害。
5 And the Lord yaf a sauyour to Israel, and he was delyuered fro the hond of the kyng of Sirie; and the sones of Israel dwelliden in her tabernaclis, as yistirdai and the thridde dai ago.
上主就賜給以色列一個拯救者,救他們脫離阿蘭的權下,使以色列子民像從前一樣,安居樂業。
6 Netheles thei departiden not fro the synnes of the hows of Jeroboam, that made Israel to do synne; thei yeden in tho synnes; sotheli also the wode dwellide in Samarie.
但是,他們仍不離開雅洛貝罕家使以色列陷於罪惡的罪,始終走這條路,並且在撒瑪黎雅還是供著阿舍辣。
7 And to Joacham weren not left of the puple, no but fyue hundrid kniytis, and ten charis, and ten thousynde of foot men; for the kyng of Sirie hadde slayn hem, and hadde dryue hem as in to poudur in the threischyng of a cornfloor.
因此,上主沒有給約阿哈次留下什麼軍隊,只留下了五十騎兵,十輛車和一萬步兵;因為阿蘭王消滅了他們,使他們如同遭人踐踏的塵土。
8 Forsothe the residue of wordis of Joachaz, and alle thingis whiche he dide, and the strength of hym, whether these ben not wrytun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Israel?
約阿哈次其餘的事蹟,他的偉大作為和他的英勇,都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
9 And Joachaz slepte with hise fadris, and thei birieden hym in Samarie; and Joas, his sone, regnyde for hym.
約阿哈次與先祖同眠,葬在撒瑪黎雅;他的兒子耶曷阿士繼位為王。
10 In the seuenthe and threttithe yeer of Joas, king of Juda, Joas, sone of Joachaz, regnede on Israel in Samarie sixtene yeer.
猶大王約阿士三十七年,約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士在撒瑪黎雅登極作以色列王,在位凡十六年;
11 And he dide that, that is yuel in the siyt of the Lord; for he bowide not awei fro alle the synnes of Jeroboam, sone of Nabath, that made Israel to do synne; he yede in tho synnes.
他行了上主視為惡的事,沒有離開乃巴特的兒子雅洛貝罕使以色列陷於罪惡的罪,始終走了這條路。
12 Forsothe the residue of wordis of Joas, and alle thingis whiche he dide, but also his strengthe, hou he fauyt ayens Amasie, kyng of Juda, whether these ben not writun in the book of wordis of daies of the kyngis of Israel?
耶曷阿士其餘的事蹟,他行的一切,以及他與猶大王阿瑪責雅交戰時所表現的英勇,都記載在以色列列王實錄上。
13 And Joas slepte with hise fadris; forsothe Jeroboam sat on his trone. Sotheli Joas was biried in Samarie with the kyngis of Israel.
耶曷阿士與列祖同眠,雅洛貝罕坐上了他的王位;耶曷阿士與以色列列王同葬在撒瑪黎雅。
14 Forsothe Elisee was sijk in sikenesse, bi which and he was deed; and Joas, kyng of Israel, yede doun to hym, and wepte bifor hym, and seide, My fadir! my fadir! the chare of Israel, and the charietere therof!
那時,厄里叟患了不治之症,以色列王耶曷阿士下來看他,伏在他面上哭說:「我父,我父! 以色列的戰車,以色列的駿馬! 」
15 And Elisee seide to hym, Brynge thou a bouwe and arowis. And whanne he hadde brouyte to Elisee a bouwe and arowis,
厄里叟對他說:「你取弓箭來! 」他就取了弓箭來,
16 he seide to the kyng of Israel, Set thin hond on the bouwe. And whanne he hadde set his hond, Elisee settide his hondis on the hondis of the
先知吩咐王說:「將你的手放在弓上! 」他就把手放在弓箭上;厄里叟把自己的手按在君王的手上,
17 kyng, and seide, Opene thou the eest wyndow. And whanne he hadde openyd, Elisee seide, Schete thou an arewe; and he schete. And Elisee seide, It is an arewe of helthe of the Lord, and an arowe of helthe ayens Sirie; and thou schalt smyte Sirie in Affeth, til thou waste it.
說:「你打開朝東的窗戶。」他就打開了。厄里叟吩咐說:「射箭! 」他就射了箭。厄里叟說:「這是上主勝利的一箭;是戰勝阿蘭的一箭;你要在阿費克打敗阿蘭,直到將他消滅。」
18 And Elisee seide, Take awei the arowis. And whanne he hadde take awei, Elisee seide eft to him, Smyte thou the erthe with a dart. And whanne he hadde smyte thre tymes,
厄里叟又說:「你另取幾枝箭來。」他就取了來;先知對王說:「你向地射擊! 」他射擊三次,就停止了。
19 and hadde stonde, the man of God was wrooth ayens hym, and seide, If thou haddist smyte fyue sithis, ether sixe sithis, ethir seuen sithis, thou schuldist haue smyte Sirie `til to the endyng; now forsothe thou schalt smyte it thre sithis.
天主的人向他發怒說:「你該射擊五次或六次,纔能完全打敗阿蘭,直到將她消滅。但是現在,你只能三次擊敗阿蘭。」
20 Therfor Elisee was deed, and thei birieden hym. And the theuys of Moab camen in to the lond in that yeer.
厄里叟死了,人安葬了他。第二年春,有一群摩阿布游擊隊來犯國土,
21 Forsothe sum men birieden a man, and thei siyen the theues, and thei castiden forth the deed bodi in the sepulcre of Elisee; and whanne it hadde touchid the bonys of Elisee, the man lyuede ayen, and stood on his feet.
那時有人正去埋葬一個死人,忽然看見這群游擊隊,便將死人拋在厄里叟的墳墓裡走了。那個死人一接觸到厄里叟的骨骸,就復活站起來。
22 Therfor Azael, kyng of Sirie, turmentide Israel in alle the daies of Joachaz.
約阿哈次年間,阿蘭王哈匝耳常是壓迫以色列人,
23 And the Lord hadde merci on hem, and turnede ayen to hem for his couenaunt, which he hadde with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and he nolde distrie hem, nether cast awei outirli, til in to present tyme.
但上主因了同亞巴郎、依撒格和雅各伯所立的盟約,恩待、憐憫、眷顧了以色列人,不願加以消滅,所以沒有將他們從自己面前拋棄。
24 Forsothe Azael, kyng of Sirie, diede; and Benadad, his sone, regnede for hym.
阿蘭王哈匝耳死後,他的兒子本哈達得繼位為王。
25 Forsothe Joas, sone of Joachas, took awei citees fro the hond of Benadad, sone of Asael, which he hadde take bi the riyt of batel fro the hoond of Joachaz, his fadir; Joas smoot hym thre tymes, and he yeldide the citees of Israel.
約阿哈次的兒子耶曷阿士從哈匝耳的兒子本哈達得手中,又奪回了他父親約阿哈次在戰爭中所失去的城市;耶曷阿士三次擊敗了他,收復了以色列失去的城市。
