2 Kings 13
1 In the twenty and third year of Joash son of Ahaziah king of Judah, hath Jehoahaz son of Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria — seventeen years,
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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin — he turned not aside from it,
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 anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of Hazael king of Aram, and into the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael, all the days.
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 And Jehoahaz appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah hearkeneth unto him, for He hath seen the oppression of Israel, for oppressed them hath the king of Aram, —
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 Jehovah giveth to Israel a saviour, and they go out from under the hand of Aram, and the sons of Israel dwell in their tents as heretofore;
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 only, they have not turned aside from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, that he caused Israel to sin, therein they walked, and also, the shrine hath remained in Samaria, —
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 for he left not to Jehoahaz of the people except fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, for the king of Aram hath destroyed them, and maketh them as dust for threshing.
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 And the rest of the matters of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings 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 Jehoahaz lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in Samaria, and reign doth Joash his son in his stead.
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 thirty and seventh year of Joash king of Judah reigned hath Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, in Samaria — sixteen years,
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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, that he caused Israel to sin, therein he walked.
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 And the rest of the matters of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings 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 Joash lieth with his fathers, and Jeroboam hath sat on his throne, and Joash is buried in Samaria, with the kings 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 And Elisha hath been sick with his sickness in which he dieth, and come down unto him doth Joash king of Israel, and weepeth on his face, and saith, 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its horsemen.'
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 Elisha saith to him, 'Take bow and arrows:' and he taketh unto him bow and arrows.
厄里叟對他說：「你取弓箭來! 」他就取了弓箭來，
16 And he saith to the king of Israel, 'Place thy hand on the bow;' and he placeth his hand, and Elisha putteth his hands on the hands of the king,
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 and saith, 'Open the window eastward;' and he openeth, and Elisha saith, 'Shoot,' and he shooteth; and he saith, 'An arrow of salvation to Jehovah, and an arrow of salvation against Aram, and thou hast smitten Aram, in Aphek, till consuming.'
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 he saith, 'Take the arrows,' and he taketh; and he saith to the king of Israel, 'Smite to the earth;' and he smiteth three times, and stayeth.
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 the man of God is wroth against him, and saith, 'By smiting five or six times then thou hadst smitten Aram till consuming; and now, three times thou dost smite Aram.'
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 And Elisha dieth, and they bury him, and troops of Moab come in to the land, at the coming in of the year,
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 and it cometh to pass, they are burying a man, and lo, they have seen the troop, and cast the man into the grave of Elisha, and the man goeth and cometh against the bones of Elisha, and liveth, and riseth 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 And Hazael king of Aram hath oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz,
約阿哈次年間，阿蘭王哈匝耳常是壓迫以色列人，
23 and Jehovah doth favour them, and pity them, and turn unto them, for the sake of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and hath not been willing to destroy them, nor to cast them from His presence as yet.
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 And Hazael king of Aram dieth, and reign doth Ben-Hadad his son in his stead,
阿蘭王哈匝耳死後，他的兒子本哈達得繼位為王。
25 and Jehoash son of Jehoahaz turneth and taketh the cities out of the hand of Ben-Hadad son of Hazael that he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father in war; three times hath Joash smitten him, and he bringeth back the cities 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。
