2 Kings 13

1 In the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash son of Ahaziah over Judah, Jehoahaz son of Jehu became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria seventeen years.

1 亚哈谢的儿子犹大王约阿施执政第二十三年，耶户的儿子约哈斯在撒玛利亚登基做以色列王，执政十七年。

2 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.

2 约哈斯做耶和华视为恶的事，重蹈尼八的儿子耶罗波安的覆辙，使以色列人陷入罪中。他始终没有离开那些罪。

3 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He delivered them continually into the hands of Hazael king of Aram and his son Ben-hadad.

3 因此，耶和华向以色列人发怒，屡次使他们败在亚兰王哈薛和他儿子便·哈达手中。

4 Then Jehoahaz sought the favor of the LORD, and the LORD listened to him because He saw the oppression that the king of Aram had inflicted on Israel.

4 约哈斯求耶和华开恩，耶和华看见亚兰王非常残暴地欺压以色列人，便垂听他的祷告，

5 So the LORD gave Israel a deliverer, and they escaped the power of the Arameans. Then the people of Israel lived in their own homes as they had before.

5 赐给以色列人一位拯救者，从亚兰人手中救了他们。他们便像从前一样安居乐业。

6 Nevertheless, they did not turn away from the sins that the house of Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit, but they continued to walk in them. The Asherah pole even remained standing in Samaria.

6 但他们一如既往地犯罪，没有离开耶罗波安家使以色列人犯的那些罪，在撒玛利亚仍然保留着亚舍拉神像。

7 Jehoahaz had no army left, except fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers, because the king of Aram had destroyed them and made them like the dust at threshing.

7 亚兰王摧毁了约哈斯的军队，把他们像麦场的尘土一样践踏。约哈斯只剩下五十名骑兵、十辆战车和一万步兵。

8 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, along with all his accomplishments and his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

8 约哈斯其他的事及一切所为和功业都记在《以色列列王史》上。

9 And Jehoahaz rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria. And his son Jehoash reigned in his place.

9 约哈斯与祖先同眠后，葬在撒玛利亚。他儿子约阿施继位。

10 In the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Joash over Judah, Jehoash son of Jehoahaz became king of Israel in Samaria, and he reigned sixteen years.

10 犹大王约阿施执政第三十七年，约哈斯的儿子约阿施在撒玛利亚登基做以色列王，执政十六年。

11 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit, but he walked in them.

11 他做耶和华视为恶的事，一如既往地犯罪，没有离开尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人犯的那些罪。

12 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with all his accomplishments and his might, including his war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

12 约阿施其他的事及一切所为和功业，包括他英勇对抗犹大王亚玛谢的事迹都记在《以色列列王史》上。

13 And Jehoash rested with his fathers, and Jeroboam succeeded him on the throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.

13 约阿施与祖先同眠后，葬在撒玛利亚的以色列王陵。耶罗波安二世继位。

14 When Elisha had fallen sick with the illness from which he would die, Jehoash king of Israel came down to him and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!”

14 以利沙患了不治之症，以色列王约阿施前去探望，伏在他身上哭喊道：“我父啊！我父啊！以色列的战车和骑兵啊！”

15 Elisha told him, “Take a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash took a bow and some arrows.

15 以利沙对王说：“取弓箭来。”王便取来弓箭。

16 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So the king put his hand on the bow, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.

16 以利沙要以色列王拉开弓，王照做了。以利沙双手按着王的手，

17 “Open the east window,” said Elisha. So he opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he shot. And Elisha declared: “This is the LORD’s arrow of victory, the arrow of victory over Aram, for you shall strike the Arameans in Aphek until you have put an end to them.”

17 说：“打开朝东的窗户。”王便打开窗户。以利沙说：“射箭！”王便射箭。以利沙说：“这是耶和华的得胜之箭，是战胜亚兰人的箭。你会在亚弗彻底消灭亚兰人。”

18 Then Elisha said, “Take the arrows!” So he took them, and Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground!” So he struck the ground three times and stopped.

18 以利沙说：“拿几枝箭来。”王便取来箭。以利沙说：“用箭击打地！”王击打了三下就停下来。

19 But the man of God was angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck down Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike down Aram only three times.”

19 上帝的仆人很生气，说：“你应该击打五六下，那样你就可以彻底消灭亚兰人。现在，你只能击败他们三次。”

20 And Elisha died and was buried. Now the Moabite raiders used to come into the land every spring.

20 以利沙去世后，人们埋葬了他。 每年春天摩押人都来犯境。

21 Once, as the Israelites were burying a man, suddenly they saw a band of raiders, so they threw the man’s body into Elisha’s tomb. And as soon as his body touched the bones of Elisha, the man was revived and stood up on his feet.

21 一天，一些以色列人正安葬死人，忽然看见一群摩押入侵者，便连忙把尸体抛进以利沙的坟墓里。那死人碰到以利沙的骸骨，就复活了，并站了起来。

22 And Hazael king of Aram oppressed Israel throughout the reign of Jehoahaz.

22 约哈斯执政期间，亚兰王哈薛一直压迫以色列人。

23 But the LORD was gracious to Israel and had compassion on them, and He turned toward them because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. And to this day, the LORD has been unwilling to destroy them or cast them from His presence.

23 耶和华因为与亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各所立的约，就恩待以色列人，怜悯、眷顾他们，至今仍不愿灭绝他们，没有把他们从自己面前赶走。

24 When Hazael king of Aram died, his son Ben-hadad reigned in his place.

24 亚兰王哈薛死后，他儿子便·哈达继位。

25 Then Jehoash son of Jehoahaz took back from Ben-hadad son of Hazael the cities that Hazael had taken in battle from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recovered the cities of Israel.

25 约阿施三次击败便·哈达，收回了他父亲约哈斯和哈薛交战时失去的以色列城邑。
