舊約 -- 列王記下(2 Kings) -- 第6章
6:1 先知門徒對(duì)以利沙說(shuō),看哪,我們同你所住的地方過(guò)于窄小,And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
6:2 求你容我們往約旦河去,各人從那里取一根木料建造房屋居住。他說(shuō),你們?nèi)グ伞?/p>
Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
6:3 有一人說(shuō),求你與仆人同去。回答說(shuō),我可以去。
And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
6:4 于是以利沙與他們同去。到了約旦河,就砍伐樹(shù)木。
So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
6:5 有一人砍樹(shù)的時(shí)候,斧頭掉在水里,他就呼叫說(shuō),哀哉。我主阿,這斧子是借的。
But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
6:6 神人問(wèn)說(shuō),掉在哪里了。他將那地方指給以利沙看。以利沙砍了一根木頭,拋在水里,斧頭就漂上來(lái)了。
And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
6:7 以利沙說(shuō),拿起來(lái)吧。那人就伸手拿起來(lái)了。
Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
6:8 亞蘭王與以色列人爭(zhēng)戰(zhàn),和他的臣仆商議說(shuō),我要在某處某處安營(yíng)。
Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
6:9 神人打發(fā)人去見(jiàn)以色列王,說(shuō),你要謹(jǐn)慎,不要從某處經(jīng)過(guò),因?yàn)閬喬m人從那里下來(lái)了。
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
6:10 以色列王差人去窺探神人所告訴所警戒他去的地方,就防備未受其害,不止一兩次。
And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
6:11 亞蘭王因這事心里驚疑,召了臣仆來(lái),對(duì)他們說(shuō),我們這里有誰(shuí)幫助以色列王,你們不指給我嗎。
Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
6:12 有一個(gè)臣仆說(shuō),我主,我王。無(wú)人幫助他,只有以色列中的先知以利沙,將王在臥房所說(shuō)的話告訴以色列王了。
And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
6:13 王說(shuō),你們?nèi)ヌ剿谀睦?,我好打發(fā)人去捉拿他。有人告訴王說(shuō),他在多坍。
And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
6:14 王就打發(fā)車馬和大軍往那里去,夜間到了,圍困那城。
Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
6:15 神人的仆人清早起來(lái)出去,看見(jiàn)車馬軍兵圍困了城。仆人對(duì)神人說(shuō),哀哉。我主阿,我們?cè)鯓有胁藕媚亍?/p>
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
6:16 神人說(shuō),不要懼怕。與我們同在的比與他們同在的更多。
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
6:17 以利沙禱告說(shuō),耶和華阿,求你開(kāi)這少年人的眼目,使他能看見(jiàn)。耶和華開(kāi)他的眼目,他就看見(jiàn)滿山有火車火馬圍繞以利沙。
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
6:18 敵人下到以利沙那里,以利沙禱告耶和華說(shuō),求你使這些人的眼目昏迷。耶和華就照以利沙的話,使他們的眼目昏迷。
And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
6:19 以利沙對(duì)他們說(shuō),這不是那道,也不是那城。你們跟我去,我必領(lǐng)你們到所尋梢的人那里。于是領(lǐng)他們到了撒馬利亞。
And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
6:20 他們進(jìn)了撒馬利亞,以利沙禱告說(shuō),耶和華阿,求你開(kāi)這些人的眼目,使他們能看見(jiàn)。耶和華開(kāi)他們的眼目,他們就看見(jiàn)了,不料,是在撒馬利亞的城中。
And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
6:21 以色列王見(jiàn)了他們,就問(wèn)以利沙說(shuō),我父阿,我可以擊殺他們嗎。
And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
6:22 回答說(shuō),不可擊殺他們。就是你用刀用弓擄來(lái)的,豈可擊殺他們嗎(或作也不可擊殺,何況這些人呢)。當(dāng)在他們面前設(shè)擺飲食,使他們吃喝回到他們的主人那里。
And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
6:23 王就為他們預(yù)備了許多食物。他們吃喝完了,打發(fā)他們回到他們主人那里。從此,亞蘭軍不再犯以色列境了。
And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
6:24 此后,亞蘭王便哈達(dá)聚集他的全軍,上來(lái)圍困撒馬利亞。
And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
6:25 于是撒馬利亞被圍困,有饑荒,甚至一個(gè)驢頭值銀八十舍客勒,二升鴿子糞值銀五舍客勒。
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
6:26 一日,以色列王在城上經(jīng)過(guò),有一個(gè)婦人向他呼叫說(shuō),我主,我王阿。求你幫助。
And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
6:27 王說(shuō),耶和華不幫助你,我從何處幫助你。是從禾場(chǎng),是從酒??呢。
And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
6:28 王問(wèn)婦人說(shuō),你有什么苦處。她回答說(shuō),這婦人對(duì)我說(shuō),將你的兒子取來(lái),我們今日可以吃,明日可以吃我的兒子。
And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
6:29 我們就煮了我的兒子吃了。次日我對(duì)她說(shuō),要將你的兒子取來(lái),我們可以吃。她卻將她的兒子藏起來(lái)了。
So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
6:30 王聽(tīng)見(jiàn)婦人的話,就撕裂衣服。(王在城上經(jīng)過(guò))百姓看見(jiàn)王貼身穿著麻衣。
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
6:31 王說(shuō),我今日若容沙法的兒子以利沙的頭仍在他項(xiàng)上,愿神重重地降罰與我。
Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
6:32 那時(shí),以利沙正坐在家中,長(zhǎng)老也與他同坐。王打發(fā)一個(gè)伺候他的人去。他還沒(méi)有到,以利沙對(duì)長(zhǎng)老說(shuō),你們看這兇手之子,打發(fā)人來(lái)斬我的頭。你們看著使者來(lái)到,就關(guān)上門,用門將他推出去。在他后頭不是有他主人腳步的響聲嗎?
But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
6:33 正說(shuō)話的時(shí)候,使者來(lái)到,王也到了,說(shuō),這災(zāi)禍?zhǔn)菑囊腿A那里來(lái)的,我何必再仰望耶和華呢。
And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
