Kings III 22
1 And he rested three years, and there was no war between Syria and Israel.
亞蘭國和以色列國三年沒有爭戰。
2 And it came to pass in the third year, that Josaphat king of Juda went down to the king of Israel.
到第三年，猶大王約沙法下去見以色列王。
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, Know ye that Remmath Galaad [is] ours, and we are slow to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
以色列王對臣僕說：「你們不知道基列的拉末是屬我們的嗎？我們豈可靜坐不動，不從亞蘭王手裏奪回來嗎？」
4 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Wilt thou go up with us to Remmath Galaad to battle?
亞哈問約沙法說：「你肯同我去攻取基列的拉末嗎？」約沙法對以色列王說：「你我不分彼此，我的民與你的民一樣，我的馬與你的馬一樣。」
5 And Josaphat said, As I [am], so [art] thou also; as my people, [so is] thy people; as my horses, [so are] thy horses. And Josaphat king of Juda said to the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, of the Lord to-day.
約沙法對以色列王說：「請你先求問耶和華。」
6 And the king of Israel gathered all the prophets together, about four hundred men; and the king said to them, Shall I go up to Remmath Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? and they said, Go up, and the Lord will surely give [it] into the hands of the king.
於是以色列王招聚先知，約有四百人，問他們說：「我上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以？」他們說：「可以上去，因為主必將那城交在王的手裏。」
7 And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him?
約沙法說：「這裏不是還有耶和華的先知，我們可以求問他嗎？」
8 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is one man here [for us] to enquire of the Lord by; but I hate him, for he does not speak good of me, but only evil; Michaias son of Jemblaa. And Josaphat king of Juda said, Let not the king say so.
以色列王對約沙法說：「還有一個人，是音拉的兒子米該雅，我們可以託他求問耶和華。只是我恨他；因為他指着我所說的預言，不說吉語，單說凶言。」約沙法說：「王不必這樣說。」
9 And the king of Israel called a eunuch and said, [Bring hither] quickly Michaias son of Jemblaa.
以色列王就召了一個太監來，說：「你快去，將音拉的兒子米該雅召來。」
10 And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda sat, each on his throne, armed in the gates of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
以色列王和猶大王約沙法在撒馬利亞城門前的空場上，各穿朝服，坐在位上，所有的先知都在他們面前說預言。
11 And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt push Syria, until it be consumed.
基拿拿的兒子西底家造了兩個鐵角，說：「耶和華如此說：『你要用這角牴觸亞蘭人，直到將他們滅盡。』」
12 And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying, Go up to Remmath Galaad, and [the thing] shall prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it and the king of Syria into thine hands.
所有的先知也都這樣預言說：「可以上基列的拉末去，必然得勝，因為耶和華必將那城交在王的手中。」
13 And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold now, all the prophets speak with one mouth good concerning the king, let now thy words be like the words of one of them, and speak good things.
那去召米該雅的使者對米該雅說：「眾先知一口同音地都向王說吉言，你不如與他們說一樣的話，也說吉言。」
14 And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatsoever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
米該雅說：「我指着永生的耶和華起誓，耶和華對我說甚麼，我就說甚麼。」
15 And he came to the king: and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Remmath Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? and he said, Go up, and the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
米該雅到王面前，王問他說：「米該雅啊，我們上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以？」他回答說：「可以上去，必然得勝，耶和華必將那城交在王的手中。」
16 And the king said to him, How often shall I adjure thee, that thou speak to me truth in the name of the Lord?
王對他說：「我當囑咐你幾次，你才奉耶和華的名向我說實話呢？」
17 And he said, Not so. I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains as a flock without a shepherd: and the Lord said, [Is] not God lord of these? let each one return to his home in peace.
米該雅說：「我看見以色列眾民散在山上，如同沒有牧人的羊群一般。耶和華說：『這民沒有主人，他們可以平平安安地各歸各家去。』」
18 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Did I not say to thee that this man does not prophesy good to me, for [he speaks] nothing but evil?
以色列王對約沙法說：「我豈沒有告訴你，這人指着我所說的預言，不說吉語單說凶言嗎？」
19 And Michaias said, Not so, [it is] not I: hear the word of the Lord; [it is] not so. I saw the God of Israel sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood about him on his right hand and on his left.
米該雅說：「你要聽耶和華的話！我看見耶和華坐在寶座上，天上的萬軍侍立在他左右。
20 And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Remmath Galaad? and one spoke one way, and another another way.
耶和華說：『誰去引誘亞哈上基列的拉末去陣亡呢？』這個就這樣說，那個就那樣說。
21 And there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him.
隨後有一個神靈出來，站在耶和華面前，說：『我去引誘他。』
22 And the Lord said to him, Whereby? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt deceive him, yea, and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so.
耶和華問他說：『你用何法呢？』他說：『我去，要在他眾先知口中作謊言的靈。』耶和華說：『這樣，你必能引誘他，你去如此行吧！』
23 And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against thee.
現在耶和華使謊言的靈入了你這些先知的口，並且耶和華已經命定降禍與你。」
24 And Sedekias the son of Chanaan came near and smote Michaias on the cheek, and said, What sort of a spirit of the Lord [has] spoken in thee?
基拿拿的兒子西底家前來，打米該雅的臉，說：「耶和華的靈從哪裏離開我與你說話呢？」
25 And Michaias said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an innermost chamber to hide thyself there.
米該雅說：「你進嚴密的屋子藏躲的那日，就必看見了。」
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and convey him away to Semer the keeper of the city;
以色列王說：「將米該雅帶回，交給邑宰亞們和王的兒子約阿施，說
27 and tell Joas the king's son to put this [fellow] in prison, and to feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace.
王如此說，把這個人下在監裏，使他受苦，吃不飽喝不足，等候我平平安安地回來。」
28 And Michaias said, If thou return at all in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.
米該雅說：「你若能平平安安地回來，那就是耶和華沒有藉我說這話了」；又說：「眾民哪，你們都要聽！」
29 So the king of Israel went up, and Josaphat king of Juda with him to Remmath Galaad.
以色列王和猶大王約沙法上基列的拉末去了。
30 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle, and do thou put on my raiment. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
以色列王對約沙法說：「我要改裝上陣，你可以仍穿王服。」以色列王就改裝上陣。
31 And the king of Syria had charged the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight not [against] small or great, but against the king of Israel only.
先是亞蘭王吩咐他的三十二個車兵長說：「他們的兵將，無論大小，你們都不可與他們爭戰，只要與以色列王爭戰。」
32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat king of Juda, that they said, this seems [to be] the king of Israel. And they compassed him about to fight [against] him; and Josaphat cried out.
車兵長看見約沙法，便說：「這必是以色列王！」就轉過去與他爭戰，約沙法便呼喊。
33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that this was not the king of Israel, that they returned from him.
車兵長見不是以色列王，就轉去不追他了。
34 And one drew a bow with a good aim, and smote the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to his charioteer, Turn thine hands, and carry me away out of the battle, for I am wounded.
有一人隨便開弓，恰巧射入以色列王的甲縫裏。王對趕車的說：「我受了重傷，你轉過車來，拉我出陣吧！」
35 And the war was turned in that day, and the king was standing on the chariot, against Syria from morning till evening; and he shed the blood out of his wound, into the bottom of the chariot, and died at even, and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
那日，陣勢越戰越猛，有人扶王站在車上，抵擋亞蘭人。到晚上，王就死了，血從傷處流在車中。
36 And the herald of the army stood at sunset, saying, Let every man go to his own city and his own land,
約在日落的時候，有號令傳遍軍中，說：「各歸本城，各歸本地吧！」
37 for the king is dead. And they came to Samaria, and buried the king in Samaria.
王既死了，眾人將他送到撒馬利亞，就葬在那裏；
38 And they washed the chariot at the fountain of Samaria; and the swine and the dogs licked up the blood, and the harlots washed themselves in the blood, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.
又有人把他的車洗在撒馬利亞的池旁（妓女在那裏洗澡），狗來舔他的血，正如耶和華所說的話。
39 And the rest of the acts of Achaab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities which he built, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
亞哈其餘的事，凡他所行的和他所修造的象牙宮，並所建築的一切城邑，都寫在以色列諸王記上。
40 And Achaab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
亞哈與他列祖同睡。他兒子亞哈謝接續他作王。
41 And Josaphat the son of Asa reigned over Juda: in the fourth year of Achaab king of Israel began Josaphat to reign.
以色列王亞哈第四年，亞撒的兒子約沙法登基作了猶大王。
42 Thirty and five years old [was he] when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Azuba daughter of Salai.
約沙法登基的時候年三十五歲，在耶路撒冷作王二十五年。他母親名叫阿蘇巴，乃示利希的女兒。
43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father: he turned not from it, even from doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord. Only he took not away [any] of the high places: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
約沙法行他父親亞撒所行的道，不偏離左右，行耶和華眼中看為正的事；只是邱壇還沒有廢去，百姓仍在那裏獻祭燒香。
44 And Josaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.
約沙法與以色列王和好。
45 And the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his mighty deeds, whatever he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
約沙法其餘的事和他所顯出的勇力，並他怎樣爭戰，都寫在猶大列王記上。
約沙法將他父親亞撒在世所剩下的孌童都從國中除去了。
那時以東沒有王，有總督治理。
約沙法製造他施船隻，要往俄斐去，將金子運來；只是沒有去，因為船在以旬‧迦別破壞了。
亞哈的兒子亞哈謝對約沙法說：「容我的僕人和你的僕人坐船同去吧！」約沙法卻不肯。
50 And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried by his fathers in the city of David his father, and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
約沙法與列祖同睡。葬在大衛城他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子約蘭接續他作王。
51 And Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria: in the seventeenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria two years.
猶大王約沙法十七年，亞哈的兒子亞哈謝在撒馬利亞登基，作以色列王共二年。
52 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Achaab his father, and in the way of Jezabel his mother, and in the sins of the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who caused Israel to sin.
他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他的父母，又行尼八的兒子耶羅波安使以色列人陷在罪裏的事。
53 And he served Baalim, and worshipped them, and provoked the Lord God of Israel, according to all that had been done before him.
他照他父親一切所行的，事奉敬拜巴力，惹耶和華－以色列上帝的怒氣。
