列王紀下

第1章

1 亞哈死後,摩押背叛以色列。

2 亞哈謝在撒瑪利亞,一日從樓上的欄杆裏掉下來,就病了;於是差遣使者,對他們[unto them]說:「你們去問以革倫的神巴力.西卜,我這病能好不能好。」

3 但耶和華的天使[angel]對提斯比人以利亞說:「你起來,去迎著撒瑪利亞王的使者,對他們說:『你們去問以革倫神巴力.西卜,豈因以色列中沒有神嗎?』

4 所以耶和華如此說:『你必不下你[that]所上的床,[but]定要死。』」以利亞就去了。

5 使者回來見王,王問他們說:「你們為甚麼回來呢?」

6 使者回答說:「有一個人迎著我們來,對我們說:『你們回去見差你們來的王,對他說:耶和華如此說,你差人去問以革倫神巴力.西卜,豈因以色列中沒有神嗎?所以你必不下所上的床,必定要死。』」

7 王問他們說:「迎著你們來告訴你們這些[these]話的,是怎樣的人?」

8 回答說:「他身穿毛衣,腰束皮帶。」王說:「這必是提斯比人以利亞。」

9 於是,王差遣五十夫長,帶領五十人去見以利亞。他就上到以利亞那裏;[behold]以利亞正坐在山頂上。五十夫長對他說:「你這[Thou]神的人哪,王[said]:『你下來。』」

10 以利亞回答五十夫長[captain of fifty]說:「我若是神的人,願火從天上降下來,燒滅你和你那五十人。」於是有火從天上降下來,燒滅五十夫長和他那五十人。

11 [Again]差遣一個五十夫長,帶領五十人去見以利亞。五十夫長對以利亞回答[answered]說:「神的人哪,王如此[thus][said]:『你快快下來。』」

12 以利亞回答他們[them]說:「我若是神的人,願火從天上降下來,燒滅你和你那五十人。」於是神的火從天上降下來,燒滅五十夫長和他那五十人。

13 王第三次差遣一個五十夫長,帶領五十人去。這五十夫長上去,雙膝跪在以利亞面前,哀求他說:「神的人哪,願我的性命和你這五十個僕人的性命在你眼前看為寶貴。

14 看哪[Behold],已經有火從天上降下來,燒滅前兩次來的五十夫長和他們各自帶的五十人;現在願我的性命在你眼前看為寶貴。」

15 耶和華的天使[angel]對以利亞說:「你同著他下去,不要怕他。」以利亞就起來,同著他下去見王,

16 對王說:耶和華如此說:「『你差人去問以革倫神巴力.西卜,豈因以色列中沒有神可以求問嗎?所以你必不下離那[off that]所上的床,[but]定要死。』」

17 亞哈謝果然死了,正如耶和華藉以利亞所說的話。因他沒有兒子,他兄弟約蘭接續他作王,正在猶大王約沙法的兒子約蘭第二年。

18 亞哈謝其餘所行的事,[not]都寫在以色列諸王記上嗎?

Chapter 1

1 Then Moab4124 rebelled6586 against Israel3478 after310 the death4194 of Ahab.256

2 And Ahaziah274 fell5307 down through1157 a lattice7639 in his upper5944 chamber5944 that was in Samaria,8111 and was sick:2470 and he sent7971 messengers,4397 and said559 to them, Go,3212 inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron6138 whether518 I shall recover2421 of this2088 disease.2483

3 But the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 Arise,6965 go5927 up to meet7125 the messengers4397 of the king4428 of Samaria,8111 and say1696 to them, Is it not because there is not a God430 in Israel,3478 that you go1980 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138

4 Now therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 You shall not come3381 down3381 from that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191 And Elijah452 departed.3212

5 And when the messengers4397 turned7725 back7725 to him, he said559 to them, Why4100 are you now2088 turned7725 back?7725

6 And they said559 to him, There came5927 a man376 up to meet7125 us, and said559 to us, Go,3212 turn7725 again7725 to the king4428 that sent7971 you, and say1696 to him, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Is it not because there is not a God430 in Israel,3478 that you send7971 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138 therefore3651 you shall not come3381 down3381 from that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191

7 And he said1696 to them, What4100 manner4941 of man376 was he which834 came5927 up to meet7125 you, and told1696 you these428 words?1697

8 And they answered559 him, He was an hairy1167 8181 man,376 and girt247 with a girdle232 of leather5785 about his loins.4975 And he said,559 It is Elijah452 the Tishbite.8664

9 Then the king4428 sent7971 to him a captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he went5927 up to him: and, behold,2009 he sat3427 on5921 the top7218 of an hill.2022 And he spoke1696 to him, You man376 of God,430 the king4428 has said,1696 Come3381 down.3381

10 And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to the captain8269 of fifty,2572 If518 I be a man376 of God,430 then let fire784 come3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consume398 you and your fifty.2572 And there came3381 down3381 fire784 from heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

11 Again7725 also he sent7971 to him another312 captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he answered6030 and said1696 to him, O man376 of God,430 thus3541 has the king4428 said,559 Come3381 down3381 quickly.4120

12 And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to them, If518 I be a man376 of God,430 let fire784 come3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consume398 you and your fifty.2572 And the fire784 of God430 came3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

13 And he sent7971 again7725 a captain8269 of the third7992 fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And the third7992 captain8269 of fifty2572 went5927 up, and came935 and fell3766 on5921 his knees1290 before5048 Elijah,452 and sought2603 him, and said1696 to him, O man376 of God,430 I pray4994 you, let my life,5315 and the life5315 of these428 fifty2572 your servants,5650 be precious3365 in your sight.5869

14 Behold,2009 there came3381 fire784 down3381 from heaven,8064 and burnt398 up the two8147 captains8269 of the former7223 fifties2572 with their fifties:2572 therefore let my life5315 now6258 be precious3365 in your sight.5869

15 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to Elijah,452 Go3381 down3381 with him: be not afraid3372 of him. And he arose,6965 and went3381 down3381 with him to the king.4428

16 And he said1696 to him, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 For as much3282 834 as you have sent7971 messengers4397 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron,6138 is it not because there is no369 God430 in Israel3478 to inquire1875 of his word?1697 therefore you shall not come3381 down3381 off that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191

17 So he died4191 according to the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 Elijah452 had spoken.1696 And Jehoram3088 reigned4427 in his stead8478 in the second8147 year8141 of Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah;3063 because3588 he had1961 no3808 son.1121

18 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Ahaziah274 which834 he did,6213 are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478

3 但耶和華的天使[angel]對提斯比人以利亞說:「你起來,去迎著撒瑪利亞王的使者,對他們說:『你們去問以革倫神巴力.西卜,豈因以色列中沒有神嗎?』

3 But the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to Elijah452 the Tishbite,8664 Arise,6965 go5927 up to meet7125 the messengers4397 of the king4428 of Samaria,8111 and say1696 to them, Is it not because there is not a God430 in Israel,3478 that you go1980 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138

4 所以耶和華如此說:『你必不下你[that]所上的床,[but]定要死。』」以利亞就去了。

4 Now therefore3651 thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 You shall not come3381 down3381 from that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191 And Elijah452 departed.3212

5 使者回來見王,王問他們說:「你們為甚麼回來呢?」

5 And when the messengers4397 turned7725 back7725 to him, he said559 to them, Why4100 are you now2088 turned7725 back?7725

6 使者回答說:「有一個人迎著我們來,對我們說:『你們回去見差你們來的王,對他說:耶和華如此說,你差人去問以革倫神巴力.西卜,豈因以色列中沒有神嗎?所以你必不下所上的床,必定要死。』」

6 And they said559 to him, There came5927 a man376 up to meet7125 us, and said559 to us, Go,3212 turn7725 again7725 to the king4428 that sent7971 you, and say1696 to him, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 Is it not because there is not a God430 in Israel,3478 that you send7971 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron?6138 therefore3651 you shall not come3381 down3381 from that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191

7 王問他們說:「迎著你們來告訴你們這些[these]話的,是怎樣的人?」

7 And he said1696 to them, What4100 manner4941 of man376 was he which834 came5927 up to meet7125 you, and told1696 you these428 words?1697

8 回答說:「他身穿毛衣,腰束皮帶。」王說:「這必是提斯比人以利亞。」

8 And they answered559 him, He was an hairy1167 8181 man,376 and girt247 with a girdle232 of leather5785 about his loins.4975 And he said,559 It is Elijah452 the Tishbite.8664

9 於是,王差遣五十夫長,帶領五十人去見以利亞。他就上到以利亞那裏;[behold]以利亞正坐在山頂上。五十夫長對他說:「你這[Thou]神的人哪,王[said]:『你下來。』」

9 Then the king4428 sent7971 to him a captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he went5927 up to him: and, behold,2009 he sat3427 on5921 the top7218 of an hill.2022 And he spoke1696 to him, You man376 of God,430 the king4428 has said,1696 Come3381 down.3381

10 以利亞回答五十夫長[captain of fifty]說:「我若是神的人,願火從天上降下來,燒滅你和你那五十人。」於是有火從天上降下來,燒滅五十夫長和他那五十人。

10 And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to the captain8269 of fifty,2572 If518 I be a man376 of God,430 then let fire784 come3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consume398 you and your fifty.2572 And there came3381 down3381 fire784 from heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

11 [Again]差遣一個五十夫長,帶領五十人去見以利亞。五十夫長對以利亞回答[answered]說:「神的人哪,王如此[thus][said]:『你快快下來。』」

11 Again7725 also he sent7971 to him another312 captain8269 of fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And he answered6030 and said1696 to him, O man376 of God,430 thus3541 has the king4428 said,559 Come3381 down3381 quickly.4120

12 以利亞回答他們[them]說:「我若是神的人,願火從天上降下來,燒滅你和你那五十人。」於是神的火從天上降下來,燒滅五十夫長和他那五十人。

12 And Elijah452 answered6030 and said1696 to them, If518 I be a man376 of God,430 let fire784 come3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consume398 you and your fifty.2572 And the fire784 of God430 came3381 down3381 from heaven,8064 and consumed398 him and his fifty.2572

13 王第三次差遣一個五十夫長,帶領五十人去。這五十夫長上去,雙膝跪在以利亞面前,哀求他說:「神的人哪,願我的性命和你這五十個僕人的性命在你眼前看為寶貴。

13 And he sent7971 again7725 a captain8269 of the third7992 fifty2572 with his fifty.2572 And the third7992 captain8269 of fifty2572 went5927 up, and came935 and fell3766 on5921 his knees1290 before5048 Elijah,452 and sought2603 him, and said1696 to him, O man376 of God,430 I pray4994 you, let my life,5315 and the life5315 of these428 fifty2572 your servants,5650 be precious3365 in your sight.5869

14 看哪[Behold],已經有火從天上降下來,燒滅前兩次來的五十夫長和他們各自帶的五十人;現在願我的性命在你眼前看為寶貴。」

14 Behold,2009 there came3381 fire784 down3381 from heaven,8064 and burnt398 up the two8147 captains8269 of the former7223 fifties2572 with their fifties:2572 therefore let my life5315 now6258 be precious3365 in your sight.5869

15 耶和華的天使[angel]對以利亞說:「你同著他下去,不要怕他。」以利亞就起來,同著他下去見王,

15 And the angel4397 of the LORD3068 said1696 to Elijah,452 Go3381 down3381 with him: be not afraid3372 of him. And he arose,6965 and went3381 down3381 with him to the king.4428

16 對王說:耶和華如此說:「『你差人去問以革倫神巴力.西卜,豈因以色列中沒有神可以求問嗎?所以你必不下離那[off that]所上的床,[but]定要死。』」

16 And he said1696 to him, Thus3541 said559 the LORD,3068 For as much3282 834 as you have sent7971 messengers4397 to inquire1875 of Baalzebub1176 the god430 of Ekron,6138 is it not because there is no369 God430 in Israel3478 to inquire1875 of his word?1697 therefore you shall not come3381 down3381 off that bed4296 on which834 you are gone5927 up, but shall surely3588 die.4191

17 亞哈謝果然死了,正如耶和華藉以利亞所說的話。因他沒有兒子,他兄弟約蘭接續他作王,正在猶大王約沙法的兒子約蘭第二年。

17 So he died4191 according to the word1697 of the LORD3068 which834 Elijah452 had spoken.1696 And Jehoram3088 reigned4427 in his stead8478 in the second8147 year8141 of Jehoram3088 the son1121 of Jehoshaphat3092 king4428 of Judah;3063 because3588 he had1961 no3808 son.1121

18 亞哈謝其餘所行的事,[not]都寫在以色列諸王記上嗎?

18 Now the rest3499 of the acts1697 of Ahaziah274 which834 he did,6213 are they not written3789 in the book5612 of the chronicles1697 3117 of the kings4428 of Israel?3478
