2 Kings 1 The prophet Elisha called one of the guild prophets and said to him: ＂Gird your loins, take this flask of oil with you, and go to Ramoth-gilead. 那时，先知厄里叟叫一个先知弟子来，对他说：＂你束上腰，手里拿着这瓶油，往辣摩特基肋阿得去， 2 When you get there, look for Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Enter and take him away from his companions into an inner chamber. 一到了那里，就去求见尼默史的孙子约沙法特的儿子耶胡；得见后，叫他离开同僚，领踢进入一间内室， 3 From the flask you have, pour oil on his head, and say, 'Thus says the LORD: I anoint you king over Israel.' Then open the door and flee without delay.＂ 将这瓶油倒在他的头上说：上主这样说：我傅你为以色列王。然后，开门逃走，不要逗留。＂ 4 The young man (the guild prophet) went to Ramoth-gilead. 那青年人，即那青年先知就往辣摩特基肋阿得去了。 5 When he arrived, the commanders of the army were in session. ＂I have a message for you, commander,＂ he said. ＂For which one of us?＂ asked Jehu. ＂For you, commander,＂ he answered. 他到了那里，看见众将军都在坐，青年人遂说：＂将军，我有话对你说。＂耶胡问说：＂我们中，你要对那一个说话？＂他答说：＂将军，就是你。＂ 6 Jehu got up and went into the house. Then the young man poured the oil on his head and said, ＂Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'I anoint you king over the people of the LORD, over Israel. 耶胡站起来，进了内室，那青年人就将油倒在他头上，对他说：＂上主以色列的天主这样说：我傅你为上主的人民以色列的君王。 7 1 You shall destroy the house of Ahab your master; thus will I avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the other servants of the LORD shed by Jezebel, 你要消灭你主上阿哈布的家，使我在依则贝耳身上，为我的仆人先知和上主的一切仆人报血仇。 8 and by all the rest of the family of Ahab. I will cut off every male in Ahab's line, whether slave or freeman in Israel. 阿哈布的全家必要丧亡；我要消灭以色列凡属于阿哈布的一切男人，无论是自由的，或不自由的。 9 I will deal with the house of Ahab as I dealt with the house of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and with the house of Baasha, son of Ahijah. 我要使阿哈布家像乃巴特的儿子雅洛贝罕家，又像阿希雅的儿子巴厄沙家一样； 10 Dogs shall devour Jezebel at the confines of Jezreel, so that no one can bury her.'＂ Then he opened the door and fled. 于依则贝耳，狗要在依次勒耳的田间吞食她，没有人来埋葬。＂那青年人说完，就开门逃走了。 11 When Jehu rejoined his master's servants, they asked him, ＂Is all well? Why did that madman come to you?＂ You know that kind of man and his talk, he replied. 耶胡出来回到他主上的臣仆那里，他们问他说：＂一切都好吗？那疯子来见你有什么事？＂耶胡答说：＂你们应认识这个人，也知道他说些什么。＂ 12 But they said, ＂Not at all! Come, tell us.＂ So he told them what the young man had said to him, and finally, ＂Thus says the LORD: ‘I anoint you king over Israel.'＂ 他们说：＂定说些胡话！请给我们说说！＂耶胡遂说：＂他如此如此告诉我说：上主这样说：我傅你为以色列王。＂ 13 At once each took his garment, spread it under Jehu on the bare steps, blew the trumpet, and cried out, ＂Jehu is king!＂ 他们一听，急忙将各自己的衣服铺在光台阶他的脚下，吹角喊说：＂耶胡作王了！＂ 14 Thus Jehu, son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, formed a conspiracy against Joram. Joram, with all Israel, had been besieging Ramoth-gilead against Hazael, king of Aram, 尼默史的孙子约沙法特的儿子耶胡于是背叛了耶曷兰。─那时，耶曷兰曾率领全以色列人在辣摩特基肋阿得，对抗阿兰君王哈匝耳。 15 but had returned to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him in the battle against Hazael, king of Aram. ＂If you are truly with me,＂ Jehu said, ＂see that no one escapes from the city to report in Jezreel.＂ 但耶曷兰已回了依次勒耳，治疗他与阿兰王哈匝耳交战时，被阿兰人所射的创伤。─耶胡说：「如果这件事合你们的心意，那么就不要让任何人逃出城去，到依次勒耳报信。」 16 Then Jehu mounted his chariot and drove to Jezreel, where Joram lay ill and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come to visit him. 耶胡于是亲自驾车去了依次勒耳，因为耶曷兰正在那里卧病未起；犹大王阿哈齐雅也下到那里去探望他。 17 The watchman standing on the tower in Jezreel saw the troop of Jehu coming and reported, ＂I see chariots.＂ ＂Get a driver,＂ Joram said, ＂and send him to meet them and to ask whether all is well.＂ 18 So a driver went out to meet him and said, ＂The king asks whether all is well.＂＂What does it matter to you how things are?＂ Jehu said. ＂Get behind me.＂ The watchman reported to the king, ＂The messenger has reached them, but is not returning.＂ 骑兵就去迎接耶胡说：＂王问：都平安吗？＂耶胡答说：＂平安不平安与你何干？转到我后面去！＂守兵随号报告说：＂使者到了他们那里，却没有回来。＂ 19 Joram sent a second driver, who went to them and said, ＂The king asks whether all is well.＂ ＂What does it matter to you how things are?＂ Jehu replied. ＂Get behind me.＂ 耶曷兰又打发第二个骑兵去，这骑兵到了他们那里说：＂王问：都平安吗？＂耶胡答说：＂平安不平安与你何干？转到我后面去！ 20 The watchman reported, ＂The messenger has reached them, but is not returning. The driving is like that of Jehu, son of Nimshi, in its fury.＂ 守兵随后有报告说：他到了他们那里，也没有回来；那驾车法很像尼默史的孙子耶胡的驾驶法，驾得很狂猛。＂ 21 ＂Prepare my chariot,＂ said Joram. When they had done so, Joram, king of Israel, and Ahaziah, king of Judah, set out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They reached him near the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. 耶曷兰遂即吩咐说：＂套车！＂人就套好他的车。以色列王耶曷兰和犹大王阿哈齐雅出来，各自上车，去迎接耶胡，在依次勒耳人纳波特的庄田那里，迎上了他。 22 2 When Joram recognized Jehu, he asked, ＂Is all well, Jehu?＂ ＂How can all be well,＂ Jehu replied, ＂as long as the many fornications and witchcrafts of your mother Jezebel continue?＂ 耶曷兰一见耶胡就问说：＂耶胡！都平安吗？＂耶胡回答说：＂你母亲依则贝耳的淫行和妖术那样多，还有什么平安？＂ 23 Joram reined about and fled, crying to Ahaziah, ＂Treason, Ahaziah!＂ 耶曷兰即刻转车逃走，对阿哈齐雅说：＂阿喝齐雅，他反了！＂ 24 But Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders, so that the arrow went through his heart and he collapsed in his chariot. 耶胡用手拉弓，射中了耶曷兰两臂之间，箭从心窝穿出，耶曷兰就倒在车上。 25 Then Jehu said to his adjutant Bidkar, ＂Take him and throw him into the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. For I remember that when we were driving teams behind his father Ahab, the LORD delivered this oracle against him: 耶胡吩咐自己的侍卫彼德卡说：＂将他抬起，丢在依次肋耳人纳波特的庄田里！你该记得：当我你二人一起驾车跟随他父亲阿哈布时，上主即向他宣布了这个神谕：＂ 26 ‘As surely as I saw yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons,' says the LORD, ‘I will repay you for it in that very plot of ground, says the LORD.' So now take him into this plot of ground, in keeping with the word of the LORD.＂ 昨天我确实看见了纳波特和他儿子们的血，上主的断语；我必要在这块田地里报复你，上主的断语。所以现在，你要照上主的话，将他抬起，丢在这块田地里。＂ 27 Seeing what was happening, Ahaziah, king of Judah, fled toward Beth-haggan. Jehu pursued him, shouting, ＂Kill him too!＂ And they pierced him as he rode through the pass of Gur near Ibleam. He continued his flight as far as Megiddo and died there. 犹大王阿哈齐雅见了这事，就向贝特干逃去，耶胡追赶他，吩咐说：＂也将他射杀在车上！＂果然，在离依贝肋罕不远的古尔山坡上，把他射伤；他逃到默基多，就死在那里。 28 His servants brought him in a chariot to Jerusalem and buried him in the tomb of his ancestors in the City of David. 他的臣仆用车把他送到耶路撒冷，与祖先葬在达味城，他自己的坟墓里。 29 Ahaziah had become king of Judah in the eleventh year of Joram, son of Ahab. 阿哈齐雅登极为犹大王，是在阿哈布的儿子耶曷兰在位第十一年。 30 When Jezebel learned that Jehu had arrived in Jezreel, she shadowed her eyes, adorned her hair, and looked down from her window. 当耶胡来到依次勒耳时，依则贝耳就听说了，遂画眉梳头，从窗户往外眺望， 31 As Jehu came through the gate, she cried out, ＂Is all well, Zimri, murderer of your master?＂ 见耶胡进城门的时候，她便问说：＂弒杀主上的齐默黎，你平安吗？＂ 32 Jehu looked up to the window and shouted, ＂Who is on my side? Anyone?＂ At this, two or three eunuchs looked down toward him. 耶胡举目看那窗户说：＂谁拥护我？谁？＂有两三个太监从窗户里往下看他。 33 ＂Throw her down,＂ he ordered. They threw her down, and some of her blood spurted against the wall and against the horses. Jehu rode in over her body 耶胡说：＂把她推下来！＂他们便把她推下来，她的血溅在墙上和马身上；马在她身上踏过。 34 and, after eating and drinking, he said: ＂Attend to that accursed woman and bury her; after all, she was a king's daughter.＂ 耶胡进去，吃喝完了，吩咐说：＂你们去料理那可诅咒的女人，将她埋葬，因为她究竟是君王的女儿。＂ 35 But when they went to bury her, they found nothing of her but the skull, the feet, and the hands. 但是，当他们去埋葬她时，只找到了她的头盖、脚和手掌， 36 They returned to Jehu, and when they told him, he said, ＂This is the sentence which the LORD pronounced through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘In the confines of Jezreel dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel. 遂回来告诉耶胡。耶胡说：＂这正应验了上主藉自己的仆人提市贝人厄里亚所说的话：在依次勒耳的庄田里，狗要吞食依则贝耳的肉； 37 The corpse of Jezebel shall be like dung in the field in the confines of Jezreel, so that no one can say: This was Jezebel.'＂ 依则贝耳的尸首要成为依次勒耳田地里的粪土，以致人不能说：这是依则贝耳。＂ Footnotes（注解） 1 [7-10] The editors of the Books of Kings have here added to the prophet's message the same type of indictment and sanctions against the family of Ahab as were invoked against the dynasties of Jeroboam (1 Kings 14:10-11), Baasha (1 Kings 16:3- 4), and Ahab on a previous occasion (1 Kings 21:21-24). 2 [22] Fornications and witchcrafts: the worship of foreign gods. |
