2 Kings 8

1 Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Arise, you and your household; go and live as a foreigner wherever you can. For the LORD has decreed that a seven-year famine will come to the land.”

1 以利沙曾经救活了一位书念妇人的儿子。他对那妇人说：“你和家人要离开这里去别处寄居，因为耶和华已决定使这里遭受七年饥荒。”

2 So the woman had proceeded to do as the man of God had instructed. And she and her household lived as foreigners for seven years in the land of the Philistines.

2 那妇人遵照上帝仆人的话，举家迁往非利士，在那里寄居了七年。

3 At the end of seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to the king to appeal for her house and her land.

3 七年后，她从非利士返回，去向王请求收回自己的房屋和田地。

4 Now the king had been speaking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please relate to me all the great things Elisha has done.”

4 那时，王正与上帝仆人的侍者基哈西谈话，让基哈西把以利沙所做的一切大事讲给他听。

5 And Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had brought the dead back to life. Just then the woman whose son Elisha had revived came to appeal to the king for her house and her land. So Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is the son Elisha restored to life.”

5 基哈西正在向王讲述以利沙如何使死人复活的时候，以利沙救活的孩子的母亲刚好进宫为自己的房屋和田地来求王，基哈西便说：“我主我王，这就是那妇人，这是她那个被以利沙救活的儿子。”

6 When the king asked the woman, she confirmed it. So the king appointed for her an officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, along with all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the country until now.”

6 王问那妇人，她便如实禀告王。王委派一位臣仆处理她的事情，并吩咐说：“凡属于这妇人的东西，包括从她离开本地直到今天她田地的所有出产，要全部还给她。”

7 Then Elisha came to Damascus while Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and the king was told, “The man of God has come here.”

7 一天，以利沙到了大马士革。当时亚兰王便·哈达正在生病，他得知上帝的仆人来了，

8 So the king said to Hazael, “Take a gift in your hand, go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD through him, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

8 便对哈薛说：“你带着礼物去见上帝的仆人，请他求问耶和华，看看我这病能否痊愈。”

9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha, taking with him a gift of forty camel loads of every good thing from Damascus. And he went in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”

9 哈薛用四十头骆驼驮着大马士革的各种美物前去拜见以利沙。到了那里，他站在以利沙面前说：“你儿子亚兰王便·哈达派我来问你，他的病能否痊愈？”

10 Elisha answered, “Go and tell him, ‘You will surely recover.’ But the LORD has shown me that in fact he will die.”

10 以利沙对哈薛说：“你去告诉他，他一定会痊愈。不过，耶和华告诉我他必死。”

11 Elisha fixed his gaze steadily on him until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God began to weep.

11 他目不转睛地盯着哈薛，盯得他很不安。然后，上帝的仆人哭了。

12 “Why is my lord weeping?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil you will do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set fire to their fortresses, kill their young men with the sword, dash their little ones to pieces, and rip open their pregnant women.”

12 哈薛问：“我主为什么哭呢？”以利沙说：“因为我知道你会加害以色列人。你会放火烧他们的堡垒，用刀杀戮他们的壮丁，摔死他们的孩童，剖开他们的孕妇。”

13 “But how could your servant, a mere dog, do such a monstrous thing?” said Hazael. And Elisha answered, “The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram.”

13 哈薛说：“你仆人算什么，不过是一条狗，怎能做这样的大事呢？”以利沙说：“耶和华告诉我，你要做亚兰王。”

14 So Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha say to you?” And he replied, “He told me that you would surely recover.”

14 哈薛辞别以利沙回到他主人那里。王问他：“以利沙对你说什么？”他答道：“以利沙告诉我，你一定会痊愈。”

15 But the next day Hazael took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it over the king’s face. So Ben-hadad died, and Hazael reigned in his place.

15 第二天，哈薛拿了一床浸透水的被子，蒙在王的脸上，王窒息而死。于是哈薛篡位。

16 In the fifth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat succeeded his father as king of Judah.

16 亚哈的儿子以色列王约兰执政第五年，犹大王约沙法让位给儿子约兰。

17 Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years.

17 约兰三十二岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政八年。

18 And Jehoram walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done. For he married a daughter of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD.

18 他与亚哈家一样步以色列诸王的后尘，因为他娶了亚哈的女儿为妻，做耶和华视为恶的事。

19 Yet for the sake of His servant David, the LORD was unwilling to destroy Judah, since He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.

19 但耶和华因祂仆人大卫的缘故而不愿毁灭犹大，因为祂曾应许让大卫和他的子孙永远做王。

20 In the days of Jehoram, Edom rebelled against the hand of Judah and appointed their own king.

20 约兰执政期间，以东人脱离犹大的统治，自己立王。

21 So Jehoram crossed over to Zair with all his chariots. When the Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, he rose up and attacked by night. His troops, however, fled to their homes.

21 约兰率领所有战车前往撒益，他和战车长们被以东人包围。他们乘夜出击，突出重围，各自逃回家去。

22 So to this day Edom has been in rebellion against the hand of Judah. Likewise, Libnah rebelled at the same time.

22 以东人至今仍脱离犹大的统治。立拿人也在那时候叛变了。

23 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoram, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

23 约兰其他的事及一切所为都记在《犹大列王史》上。

24 And Jehoram rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David. And his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.

24 约兰与祖先同眠后，葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。他儿子亚哈谢继位。

25 In the twelfth year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab over Israel, Ahaziah son of Jehoram became king of Judah.

25 亚哈的儿子以色列王约兰执政第十二年，犹大王约兰的儿子亚哈谢登基。

26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.

26 他二十二岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政一年。他母亲叫亚她利雅，是以色列王暗利的孙女。

27 And Ahaziah walked in the ways of the house of Ahab and did evil in the sight of the LORD like the house of Ahab, for he was a son-in-law of the house of Ahab.

27 亚哈谢是亚哈家的女婿，他步亚哈家的后尘，做耶和华视为恶的事。

28 Then Ahaziah went with Joram son of Ahab to fight against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.

28 他联合亚哈的儿子约兰到基列的拉末与亚兰王哈薛交战。约兰受了伤，

29 So King Joram returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds that the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to Jezreel to visit Joram son of Ahab, because Joram had been wounded.

29 便回到耶斯列养伤。约兰的儿子犹大王亚哈谢下到耶斯列探望他，因为他病了。
