旧约--列王记上(1 Kings)16-22章
旧约--列王记上(1 Kings)--第 16 章 ( 本篇共有 22 章 )
16:1 耶和华的话临到哈拿尼的儿子耶户，责备巴沙说，
Then the word of the LORD came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying,
16:2 我既从尘埃中提拔你，立你作我民以色列的君，你竟行耶罗波安所行的道，使我民以色列陷在罪里，惹我发怒，
Forasmuch as I exalted thee out of the dust, and made thee prince over my people Israel; and thou hast walked in the way of Jeroboam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to provoke me to anger with their sins;
16:3 我必除尽你和你的家，使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家一样。
Behold, I will take away the posterity of Baasha, and the posterity of his house; and will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16:4 凡属巴沙的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。
Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth of his in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat.
16:5 巴沙其馀的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力，都写在以色列诸王记上。
Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16:6 巴沙与他列祖同睡，葬在得撒。他儿子以拉接续他作王。
So Baasha slept with his fathers, and was buried in Tirzah: and Elah his son reigned in his stead.
16:7 耶和华的话临到哈拿尼的儿子先知耶户，责备巴沙和他的家，因他行耶和华眼中看为恶的一切事，以他手所作的惹耶和华发怒，像耶罗波安的家一样，又因他杀了耶罗波安的全家。
And also by the hand of the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani came the word of the LORD against Baasha, and against his house, even for all the evil that he did in the sight of the LORD, in provoking him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam; and because he killed him.
16:8 犹大王亚撒二十六年，巴沙的儿子以拉在得撒登基作以色列王共二年。
In the twenty and sixth year of Asa king of Judah began Elah the son of Baasha to reign over Israel in Tirzah, two years.
16:9 有管理他一半战车的臣子心利背叛他。当他在得撒家宰亚杂家里喝醉的时候，
And his servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him, as he was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza steward of his house in Tirzah.
16:10 心利就进去杀了他，篡了他的位。这是犹大王亚撒二十七年的事。
And Zimri went in and smote him, and killed him, in the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his stead.
16:11 心利一坐王位就杀了巴沙的全家，连他的亲属，朋友也没有留下一个男丁。
And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he slew all the house of Baasha: he left him not one that pisseth against a wall, neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends.
16:12 心利这样灭绝巴沙的全家，正如耶和华藉先知耶户责备巴沙的话。
Thus did Zimri destroy all the house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake against Baasha by Jehu the prophet,
16:13 这是因巴沙和他儿子以拉的一切罪，就是他们使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪，以虚无的神惹耶和华以色列神的怒气。
For all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, by which they sinned, and by which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
16:14 以拉其馀的事，凡他所行的，都写在以色列诸王记上。
Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16:15 犹大王亚撒二十七年，心利在得撒作王七日。那时民正安营围攻非利士的基比顿。
In the twenty and seventh year of Asa king of Judah did Zimri reign seven days in Tirzah. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.
16:16 民在营中听说心利背叛，又杀了王，故此以色列众人当日在营中立元帅暗利作以色列王。
And the people that were encamped heard say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain the king: wherefore all Israel made Omri, the captain of the host, king over Israel that day in the camp.
16:17 暗利率领以色列众人，从基比顿上去，围困得撒。
And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and all Israel with him, and they besieged Tirzah.
16:18 心利见城破失，就进了王宫的卫所，放火焚烧宫殿，自焚而死。
And it came to pass, when Zimri saw that the city was taken, that he went into the palace of the king's house, and burnt the king's house over him with fire, and died,
16:19 这是因他犯罪，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，行耶罗波安所行的，犯他使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪。
For his sins which he sinned in doing evil in the sight of the LORD, in walking in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he did, to make Israel to sin.
16:20 心利其馀的事和他背叛的情形都写在以色列诸王记上。
Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his treason that he wrought, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16:21 那时，以色列民分为两半，一半随从基纳的儿子提比尼，要立他作王。一半随从暗利。
Then were the people of Israel divided into two parts: half of the people followed Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king; and half followed Omri.
16:22 但随从暗利的民胜过随从基纳的儿子提比尼的民。提比尼死了，暗利就作了王。
But the people that followed Omri prevailed against the people that followed Tibni the son of Ginath: so Tibni died, and Omri reigned.
16:23 犹大王亚撒三十一年，暗利登基作以色列王共十二年。在得撒作王六年。
In the thirty and first year of Asa king of Judah began Omri to reign over Israel, twelve years: six years reigned he in Tirzah.
16:24 暗利用二他连得银子向撒玛买了撒马利亚山，在山上造城，就按着山的原主撒玛的名，给所造的城起名叫撒马利亚。
And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria.
16:25 暗利行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，比他以前的列王作恶更甚。
But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the LORD, and did worse than all that were before him.
16:26 因他行了尼八的儿子耶罗波安所行的，犯他使以色列人陷在罪里的那罪，以虚无的神惹耶和华以色列神的怒气。
For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin, to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger with their vanities.
16:27 暗利其馀的事和他所显出的勇力都写在以色列诸王记上。
Now the rest of the acts of Omri which he did, and his might that he shewed, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
16:28 暗利与他列祖同睡，葬在撒马利亚。他儿子亚哈接续他作王。
So Omri slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria: and Ahab his son reigned in his stead.
16:29 犹大王亚撒三十八年，暗利的儿子亚哈登基作了以色列王。暗利的儿子亚哈在撒马利亚作以色列王二十二年。
And in the thirty and eighth year of Asa king of Judah began Ahab the son of Omri to reign over Israel: and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty and two years.
16:30 暗利的儿子亚哈行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，比他以前的列王更甚，
And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that were before him.
16:31 犯了尼八的儿子耶罗波安所犯的罪。他还以为轻，又娶了西顿王谒巴力的女儿耶洗别为妻，去事奉敬拜巴力，
And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.
16:32 在撒马利亚建造巴力的庙，在庙里为巴力筑坛。
And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.
16:33 亚哈又作亚舍拉，他所行的惹耶和华以色列神的怒气，比他以前的以色列诸王更甚。
And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the LORD God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.
16:34 亚哈在位的时候，有伯特利人希伊勒重修耶利哥城。立根基的时候，丧了长子亚比兰。安门的时候，丧了幼子西割，正如耶和华藉嫩的儿子约书亚所说的话。
In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.
旧约--列王记上(1 Kings)--第 17 章 ( 本篇共有 22 章 )
17:1 基列寄居的提斯比人以利亚对亚哈说，我指着所事奉永生耶和华以色列的神起誓，这几年我若不祷告，必不降露，不下雨。
And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
17:2 耶和华的话临到以利亚说，
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
17:3 你离开这里往东去，藏在约旦河东边的基立溪旁。
Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
17:4 你要喝那溪里的水，我已吩咐乌鸦在那里供养你。
And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
17:5 于是以利亚照着耶和华的话，去住在约旦河东的基立溪旁。
So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
17:6 乌鸦早晚给他叼饼和肉来，他也喝那溪里的水。
And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.
17:7 过了些日子，溪水就乾了，因为雨没有下在地上。
And it came to pass after a while, that the brook dried up, because there had been no rain in the land.
17:8 耶和华的话临到他说，
And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,
17:9 你起身往西顿的撒勒法（撒勒法与路加福音四章二十六节同）去，住在那里。我已吩咐那里的一个寡妇供养你。
Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee.
17:10 以利亚就起身往撒勒法去。到了城门，见有一个寡妇在那里捡柴，以利亚呼叫她说，求你用器皿取点水来给我喝。
So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.
17:11 她去取水的时候，以利亚又呼叫她说，也求你拿点饼来给我。
And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.
17:12 她说，我指着永生耶和华你的神起誓，我没有饼，坛内只有一把面，瓶里只有一点油。我现在找两根柴，回家要为我和我儿子作饼。我们吃了，死就死吧。
And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
17:13 以利亚对她说，不要惧怕。可以照你所说的去作吧。只要先为我作一个小饼拿来给我，然后为你和你的儿子作饼。
And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
17:14 因为耶和华以色列的神如此说，坛内的面必不减少，瓶里的油必不缺短，直到耶和华使雨降在地上的日子。
For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
17:15 妇人就照以利亚的话去行。她和她家中的人，并以利亚，吃了许多日子。
And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.
17:16 坛内的面果不减少，瓶里的油也不缺短，正如耶和华藉以利亚所说的话。
And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah.
17:17 这事以后，作那家主母的妇人，她儿子病了。病得甚重，以致身无气息。
And it came to pass after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him.
17:18 妇人对以利亚说，神人哪，我与你何干。你竟到我这里来，使神想念我的罪，以致我的儿子死呢。
And she said unto Elijah, What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? art thou come unto me to call my sin to remembrance, and to slay my son?
17:19 以利亚对她说，把你儿子交给我。以利亚就从妇人怀中将孩子接过来，抱到他所住的楼中，放在自己的床上，
And he said unto her, Give me thy son. And he took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into a loft, where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed.
17:20 就求告耶和华说，耶和华我的神阿，我寄居在这寡妇的家里，你就降祸与她，使她的儿子死了吗。
And he cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, hast thou also brought evil upon the widow with whom I sojourn, by slaying her son?
17:21 以利亚三次伏在孩子的身上，求告耶和华说，耶和华我的神阿，求你使这孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体。
And he stretched himself upon the child three times, and cried unto the LORD, and said, O LORD my God, I pray thee, let this child's soul come into him again.
17:22 耶和华应允以利亚的话，孩子的灵魂仍入他的身体，他就活了。
And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived.
17:23 以利亚将孩子从楼上抱下来，进屋子交给他母亲，说，看哪，你的儿子活了。
And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.
17:24 妇人对以利亚说，现在我知道你是神人，耶和华藉你口所说的话是真的。
And the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that thou art a man of God, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth.
旧约--列王记上(1 Kings)--第 18 章 ( 本篇共有 22 章 )
18:1 过了许久，到第三年，耶和华的话临到以利亚说，你去，使亚哈得见你。我要降雨在地上。
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
18:2 以利亚就去，要使亚哈得见他。那时，撒马利亚有大饥荒。
And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
18:3 亚哈将他的家宰俄巴底召了来。俄巴底甚是敬畏耶和华，
And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
18:4 耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候，俄巴底将一百个先知藏了，每五十人藏在一个洞里，拿饼和水供养他们。
For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
18:5 亚哈对俄巴底说，我们走遍这地，到一切水泉旁和一切溪边，或者找得着青草，可以救活骡马，免得绝了牲畜。
And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
18:6 于是二人分地游行，亚哈独走一路，俄巴底独走一路。
So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
18:7 俄巴底在路上恰与以利亚相遇，俄巴底认出他来，就俯伏在地，说，你是我主以利亚不是。
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
18:8 回答说，是。你去告诉你主人说，以利亚在这里。
And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
18:9 俄巴底说，仆人有什么罪，你竟要将我交在亚哈手里，使他杀我呢。
And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
18:10 我指着永生耶和华你的神起誓，无论哪一邦哪一国，我主都打发人去找你。若说你没有在那里，就必使那邦那国的人起誓说，实在是找不着你。
As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
18:11 现在你说，要去告诉你主人说，以利亚在这里。
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
18:12 恐怕我一离开你，耶和华的灵就提你到我所不知道的地方去。这样，我去告诉亚哈，他若找不着你，就必杀我。仆人却是自幼敬畏耶和华的。
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
18:13 耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候，我将耶和华的一百个先知藏了，每五十人藏在一个洞里，拿饼和水供养他们，岂没有人将这事告诉我主吗。
Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
18:14 现在你说，要去告诉你主人说，以利亚在这里，他必杀我。
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
18:15 以利亚说，我指着所事奉永生的万军之耶和华起誓，我今日必使亚哈得见我。
And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
18:16 于是俄巴底去迎着亚哈，告诉他。亚哈就去迎着以利亚。
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
18:17 亚哈见了以利亚，便说，使以色列遭灾的就是你吗。
And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
18:18 以利亚说，使以色列遭灾的不是我，乃是你和你父家。因为你们离弃耶和华的诫命，去随从巴力。
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
18:19 现在你当差遣人，招聚以色列众人和事奉巴力的那四百五十个先知，并耶洗别所供养事奉亚舍拉的那四百个先知，使他们都上迦密山去见我。
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
18:20 亚哈就差遣人招聚以色列众人和先知都上迦密山。
So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
18:21 以利亚前来对众民说，你们心持两意要到几时呢。若耶和华是神，就当顺从耶和华。若巴力是神，就当顺从巴力。众民一言不答。
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
18:22 以利亚对众民说，作耶和华先知的只剩下我一个人。巴力的先知却有四百五十个人。
Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
18:23 当给我们两只牛犊，巴力的先知可以挑选一只，切成块子，放在柴上，不要点火。我也预备一只牛犊放在柴上，也不点火。
Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
18:24 你们求告你们神的名，我也求告耶和华的名。那降火显应的神，就是神。众民回答说，这话甚好。
And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
18:25 以利亚对巴力的先知说，你们既是人多，当先挑选一只牛犊，预备好了，就求告你们神的名，却不要点火。
And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
18:26 他们将所得的牛犊预备好了，从早晨到午间，求告巴力的名说，巴力阿，求你应允我们。却没有声音，没有应允的。他们在所筑的坛四围踊跳。
And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
18:27 到了正午，以利亚嬉笑他们，说，大声求告吧。因为他是神，他或默想，或走到一边，或行路，或睡觉，你们当叫醒他。
And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.
18:28 他们大声求告，按着他们的规矩，用刀枪自割，自刺，直到身体流血。
And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.
18:29 从午后直到献晚祭的时候，他们狂呼乱叫，却没有声音，没有应允的，也没有理会的。
And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.
18:30 以利亚对众民说，你们到我这里来。众民就到他那里。他便重修已经毁坏耶和华的坛。
And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.
18:31 以利亚照雅各子孙支派的数目，取了十二块石头（耶和华的话曾临到雅各说，你的名要叫以色列），
And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
18:32 用这些石头为耶和华的名筑一座坛，在坛的四围挖沟，可容谷种二细亚，
And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.
18:33 又在坛上摆好了柴，把牛犊切成块子放在柴上，对众人说，你们用四个桶盛满水，倒在燔祭和柴上。
And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid him on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.
18:34 又说，倒第二次。他们就倒第二次。又说，倒第三次。他们就倒第三次。
And he said, Do it the second time. And they did it the second time. And he said, Do it the third time. And they did it the third time.
18:35 水流在坛的四围，沟里也满了水。
And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.
18:36 到了献晚祭的时候，先知以利亚近前来，说，亚伯拉罕，以撒，以色列的神，耶和华阿，求你今日使人知道你是以色列的神，也知道我是你的仆人，又是奉你的命行这一切事。
And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word.
18:37 耶和华阿，求你应允我，应允我。使这民知道你耶和华是神，又知道是你叫这民的心回转。
Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again.
18:38 于是，耶和华降下火来，烧尽燔祭，木柴，石头，尘土，又烧乾沟里的水。
Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
18:39 众民看见了，就俯伏在地，说，耶和华是神。耶和华是神。
And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
18:40 以利亚对他们说，拿住巴力的先知，不容一人逃脱。众人就拿住他们。以利亚带他们到基顺河边，在那里杀了他们。
And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
18:41 以利亚对亚哈说，你现在可以上去吃喝，因为有多雨的响声了。
And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
18:42 亚哈就上去吃喝。以利亚上了迦密山顶，屈身在地，将脸伏在两膝之中。
So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,
18:43 对仆人说，你上去，向海观看。仆人就上去观看，说，没有什么。他说，你再去观看。如此七次。
And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
18:44 第七次仆人说，我看见有一小片云从海里上来，不过如人手那样大。以利亚说，你上去告诉亚哈，当套车下去，免得被雨阻挡。
And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
18:45 霎时间，天因风云黑暗，降下大雨。亚哈就坐车往耶斯列去了。
And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
18:46 耶和华的灵（原文作手）降在以利亚身上，他就束上腰，奔在亚哈前头，直到耶斯列的城门。
And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

19:1 亚哈将以利亚一切所行的和他用刀杀众先知的事都告诉耶洗别。
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
19:2 耶洗别就差遣人去见以利亚，告诉他说，明日约在这时候，我若不使你的性命像那些人的性命一样，愿神明重重地降罚与我。
Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
19:3 以利亚见这光景就起来逃命，到了犹大的别是巴，将仆人留在那里，
And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there.
19:4 自己在旷野走了一日的路程，来到一棵罗腾树下（罗腾，小树名，松类。下同），就坐在那里求死，说，耶和华阿，吧了。求你取我的性命，因为我不胜于我的列祖。
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
19:5 他就躺在罗腾树下，睡着了。有一个天使拍他，说，起来吃吧。
And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
19:6 他观看，见头旁有一瓶水与炭火烧的饼，他就吃了喝了，仍然躺下。
And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again.
19:7 耶和华的使者第二次来拍他，说，起来吃吧。因为你当走的路甚远。
And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee.
19:8 他就起来吃了喝了，仗着这饮食的力，走了四十昼夜，到了神的山，就是何烈山。
And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the mount of God.
19:9 他在那里进了一个洞，就住在洞中。耶和华的话临到他说，以利亚阿，你在这里作什么。
And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
19:10 他说，我为耶和华万军之神大发热心。因为以色列人背弃了你的约，毁坏了你的坛，用刀杀了你的先知，只剩下我一个人，他们还要寻索我的命。
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
19:11 耶和华说，你出来站在山上，在我面前。那时耶和华从那里经过，在他面前有烈风大作，崩山碎石，耶和华却不在风中。风后地震，耶和华却不在其中。
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake:
19:12 地震后有火，耶和华也不在火中。火后有微小的声音。
And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
19:13 以利亚听见，就用外衣蒙上脸，出来站在洞口。有声音向他说，以利亚阿，你在这里作什么。
And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
19:14 他说，我为耶和华万军之神大发热心。因为以色列人背弃了你的约，毁坏了你的坛，用刀杀了你的先知，只剩下我一个人，他们还要寻索我的命。
And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
19:15 耶和华对他说，你回去，从旷野往大马士革去。到了那里，就要膏哈薛作亚兰王，
And the LORD said unto him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus: and when thou comest, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria:
19:16 又膏宁示的孙子耶户作以色列王，并膏亚伯米何拉人沙法的儿子以利沙作先知接续你。
And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.
19:17 将来躲避哈薛之刀的，必被耶户所杀。躲避耶户之刀的，必被以利沙所杀。
And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
19:18 但我在以色列人中为自己留下七千人，是未曾向巴力屈膝的，未曾与巴力亲嘴的。
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
19:19 于是，以利亚离开那里走了，遇见沙法的儿子以利沙耕地。在他前头有十二对牛，自己赶着第十二对。以利亚到他那里去，将自己的外衣搭在他身上。
So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.
19:20 以利沙就离开牛，跑到以利亚那里，说，求你容我先与父母亲嘴，然后我便跟随你。以利亚对他说，你回去吧，我向你作了什么呢。
And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee?
19:21 以利沙就离开他回去，宰了一对牛，用套牛的器具煮肉给民吃，随后就起身跟随以利亚，服事他。
And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.
旧约--列王记上(1 Kings)--第 20 章 ( 本篇共有 22 章 )
20:1 亚兰王便哈达聚集他的全军，率领三十二个王，带着车马上来围攻撒马利亚。
And Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
20:2 又差遣使者进城见以色列王亚哈，对他说，便哈达如此说，
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Benhadad,
20:3 你的金银都要归我，你妻子儿女中最美的也要归我。
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
20:4 以色列王回答说，我主我王阿，可以依着你的话，我与我所有的都归你。
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
20:5 使者又来说，便哈达如此说，我已差遣人去见你，要你将你的金银，妻子，儿女都给我。
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Benhadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
20:6 但明日约在这时候，我还要差遣臣仆到你那里，搜查你的家和你仆人的家，将你眼中一切所喜爱的都拿了去。
Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
20:7 以色列王召了国中的长老来，对他们说，请你们看看，这人是怎样地谋害我，他先差遣人到我这里来，要我的妻子，儿女，和金银，我并没有推辞他。
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
20:8 长老和百姓对王说，不要听从他，也不要应允他。
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
20:9 故此，以色列王对便哈达的使者说，你们告诉我主我王说，王头一次差遣人向仆人所要的，仆人都依从。但这次所要的，我不能依从。使者就去回覆便哈达。
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
20:10 便哈达又差遣人去见亚哈说，撒马利亚的尘土若够跟从我的人每人捧一捧的，愿神明重重地降罚与我。
And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
20:11 以色列王说，你告诉他说，才顶盔贯甲的，休要像摘盔卸甲的夸口。
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
20:12 便哈达和诸王正在帐幕里喝酒，听见这话，就对他臣仆说，摆队吧。他们就摆队攻城。
And it came to pass, when Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
20:13 有一个先知来见以色列王亚哈，说，耶和华如此说，这一大群人你看见了吗。今日我必将他们交在你手里，你就知道我是耶和华。
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
20:14 亚哈说，藉着谁呢。他回答说，耶和华说，藉着跟从省长的少年人。亚哈说，要谁率领呢。他说，要你亲自率领。
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
20:15 于是亚哈数点跟从省长的少年人，共有二百三十二名，后又数点以色列的众兵，共有七千名。
Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
20:16 午间，他们就出城。便哈达和帮助他的三十二个王正在帐幕里痛饮。
And they went out at noon. But Benhadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
20:17 跟从省长的少年人先出城。便哈达差遣人去探望，他们回报说，有人从撒马利亚出来了。
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Benhadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
20:18 他说，他们若为讲和出来，要活捉他们。若为打仗出来，也要活捉他们。
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
20:19 跟从省长的少年人出城，军兵跟随他们。
So these young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
20:20 各人遇见敌人就杀。亚兰人逃跑，以色列人追赶他们。亚兰王便哈达骑着马和马兵一同逃跑。
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Benhadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
20:21 以色列王出城攻打车马，大大击杀亚兰人。
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
20:22 那先知来见以色列王，对他说，你当自强，留心怎样防备。因为到明年这时候，亚兰王必上来攻击你。
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
20:23 亚兰王的臣仆对亚兰王说，以色列人的神是山神，所以他们胜过我们。但在平原与他们打仗，我们必定得胜。
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we; but let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
20:24 王当这样行，把诸王革去，派军长代替他们，
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
20:25 又照着王丧失军兵之数，再招募一军，马补马，车补车，我们在平原与他们打仗，必定得胜。王便听臣仆的话去行。
And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
20:26 次年，便哈达果然点齐亚兰人上亚弗去，要与以色列人打仗。
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
20:27 以色列人也点齐军兵，预备食物，迎着亚兰人出去，对着他们安营，好像两小群山羊羔。亚兰人却满了地面。
And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
20:28 有神人来见以色列王，说，耶和华如此说，亚兰人既说我耶和华是山神，不是平原的神，所以我必将这一大群人都交在你手中，你们就知道我是耶和华。
And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
20:29 以色列人与亚兰人相对安营七日，到第七日两军交战。那一日以色列人杀了亚兰人步兵十万，
And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
20:30 其馀的逃入亚弗城。城墙塌倒，压死剩下的二万七千人。便哈达也逃入城，藏在严密的屋子里。
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Benhadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
20:31 他的臣仆对他说，我们听说以色列王都是仁慈的王，现在我们不如腰束麻布，头套绳索，出去投降以色列王，或者他存留王的性命。
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
20:32 于是他们腰束麻布，头套绳索，去见以色列王，说，王的仆人便哈达说，求王存留我的性命。亚哈说，他还活着吗。他是我的兄弟。
So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Benhadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
20:33 这些人留心探出他的口气来，便急忙就着他的话说，便哈达是王的兄弟。王说，你们去请他来。便哈达出来见王，王就请他上车。
Now the men did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
20:34 便哈达对王说，我父从你父那里所夺的城邑，我必归还。你可以在大马士革立街市，像我父在撒马利亚所立的一样。亚哈说，我照此立约，放你回去，就与他立约，放他去了。
And Ben-hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
20:35 有先知的一个门徒奉耶和华的命对他的同伴说，你打我吧。那人不肯打他。
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
20:36 他就对那人说，你既不听从耶和华的话，你一离开我，必有狮子咬死你。那人一离开他，果然遇见狮子，把他咬死了。
Then said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
20:37 先知的门徒又遇见一个人，对他说，你打我吧。那人就打他，将他打伤。
Then he found another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
20:38 他就去了，用头巾蒙眼，改换面目，在路旁等候王。
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with ashes upon his face.
20:39 王从那里经过，他向王呼叫说，仆人在阵上的时候，有人带了一个人来，对我说，你看守这人，若把他失了，你的性命必代替他的性命。不然，你必交出一他连得银子来。
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
20:40 仆人正在忙乱之间，那人就不见了。以色列王对他说，你自己定妥了，必照样判断你。
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
20:41 他急忙除掉蒙眼的头巾，以色列王就认出他是一个先知。
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
20:42 他对王说，耶和华如此说，因你将我定要灭绝的人放去，你的命就必代替他的命，你的民也必代替他的民。
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
20:43 于是以色列王闷闷不乐地回到撒马利亚，进了他的宫。
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
旧约--列王记上(1 Kings)--第 21 章 ( 本篇共有 22 章 )
21:1 这事以后，又有一事。耶斯列人拿伯在耶斯列有只个葡萄园，靠近撒马利亚王亚哈的宫。
And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
21:2 亚哈对拿伯说，你将你的葡萄园给我作菜园，因为是靠近我的宫。我就把更好的葡萄园换给你，或是你要银子，我就按着价值给你。
And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
21:3 拿伯对亚哈说，我敬畏耶和华，万不敢将我先人留下的产业给你。
And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.
21:4 亚哈因耶斯列人拿伯说我不敢将我先人留下的产业给你，就闷闷不乐地回宫，躺在床上，转脸向内，也不吃饭。
And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.
21:5 王后耶洗别来问他说，你为什么心里这样忧闷，不吃饭呢。
But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?
21:6 他回答说，因我向耶斯列人拿伯说，你将你的葡萄园给我，我给你价银，或是你愿意，我就把别的葡萄园换给你。他却说，我不将我的葡萄园给你。
And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
21:7 王后耶洗别对亚哈说，你现在是治理以色列国不是。只管起来，心里畅畅快快地吃饭，我必将耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园给你。
And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
21:8 于是托亚哈的名写信，用王的印印上，送给那些与拿伯同城居住的长老贵胄。
So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
21:9 信上写着说，你们当宣告禁食，叫拿伯坐在民间的高位上，
And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
21:10 又叫两个匪徒坐在拿伯对面，作见证告他说，你谤渎神和王了。随后就把他拉出去用石头打死。
And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
21:11 那些与拿伯同城居住的长老贵胄得了耶洗别的信，就照信而行，
And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.
21:12 宣告禁食，叫拿伯坐在民间的高位上。
They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
21:13 有两个匪徒来，坐在拿伯的对面，当着众民作见证告他说，拿伯谤渎神和王了。众人就把他拉到城外，用石头打死。
And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
21:14 于是打发人去见耶洗别，说，拿伯被石头打死了。
Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
21:15 耶洗别听见拿伯被石头打死，就对亚哈说，你起来得耶斯列人拿伯不肯为价银给你的葡萄园吧。现在他已经死了。
And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
21:16 亚哈听见拿伯死了，就起来，下去要得耶斯列人拿伯的葡萄园。
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
21:17 耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说，
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
21:18 你起来，去见住撒马利亚的以色列王亚哈，他下去要得拿伯的葡萄园，现今正在那园里。
Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.
21:19 你要对他说，耶和华如此说，你杀了人，又得他的产业吗。又要对他说，耶和华如此说，狗在何处舔拿伯的血，也必在何处舔你的血。
And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
21:20 亚哈对以利亚说，我仇敌阿，你找到我吗。他回答说，我找到你了。因为你卖了自己，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事。
And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
21:21 耶和华说，我必使灾祸临到你，将你除尽。凡属你的男丁，无论困住的，自由的，都从以色列中剪除。
Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
21:22 我必使你的家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家，又像亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家。因为你惹我发怒，又使以色列人陷在罪里。
And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
21:23 论到耶洗别，耶和华也说，狗在耶斯列的外郭必吃耶洗别的肉。
And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
21:24 凡属亚哈的人，死在城中的必被狗吃，死在田野的必被空中的鸟吃。
Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
21:25 （从来没有像亚哈的，因他自卖，行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，受了王后耶洗别的耸动。
But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
21:26 就照耶和华在以色列人面前所赶出的亚摩利人，行了最可憎恶的事，信从偶像。）
And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
21:27 亚哈听见这话，就撕裂衣服，禁食，身穿麻布，睡卧也穿着麻布，并且缓缓而行。
And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
21:28 耶和华的话临到提斯比人以利亚说，
And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
21:29 亚哈在我面前赦样自卑，你看见了吗。因他在我面前自卑，他还在世的时候，我不降这祸。到他儿子的时候，我必降这祸与他的家。
Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
旧约--列王记上(1 Kings)--第 22 章 ( 本篇共有 22 章 )
22:1 亚兰国和以色列国三年没有争战。
And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
22:2 到第三年，犹大王约沙法下去见以色列王。
And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.
22:3 以色列王对臣仆说，你们不知道基列的拉末是属我们的吗。我们岂可静坐不动，不从亚兰王手里夺回来吗。
And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
22:4 亚哈问约沙法说，你肯同我去攻取基列的拉末吗。约沙法对以色列王说，你我不分彼此，我的民与你的民一样，我的马与你的马一样。
And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
22:5 约沙法对以色列王说，请你先求问耶和华。
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
22:6 于是以色列王招聚先知，约有四百人，问他们说，我上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以。他们说，可以上去，因为主必将那城交在王的手里。
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
22:7 约沙法说，这里不是还有耶和华的先知，我们可以求问他吗。
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
22:8 以色列王对约沙法说，还有一个人，是音拉的儿子米该雅，我们可以托他求问耶和华。只是我恨他。因为他指着我所说的预言，不说吉语，单说凶言。约沙法说，王不必这样说。
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
22:9 以色列王就召了一个太监来，说，你快去，将音拉的儿子米该雅召来。
Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.
22:10 以色列王和犹大王约沙法在撒马利亚城门前的空场上，各穿朝服，坐在位上，所有的先知都在他们面前说预言。
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
22:11 基拿拿的儿子西底家造了两个铁角，说，耶和华如此说，你要用这角抵触亚兰人，直到将他们灭尽。
And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.
22:12 所有的先知也都这样预言说，可以上基列的拉末去，必然得胜，因为耶和华必将那城交在王的手中。
And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
22:13 那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅说。众先知一口同音地都向王说吉言，你不如与他们说一样的话，也说吉言。
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
22:14 米该雅说，我指着永生的耶和华起誓，耶和华对我说什么，我就说什么。
And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.
22:15 米该雅到王面前，王问他说，米该雅阿，我们上去攻取基列的拉末可以不可以。他回答说，可以上去，必然得胜，耶和华必将那城交在王的手中。
So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
22:16 王对他说，我当嘱咐你几次，你才奉耶和华的名向我说实话呢。
And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?
22:17 米该雅说，我看见以色列众民散在山上，如同没有牧人的羊群一般。耶和华说，这民没有主人，他们可以平平安安地各归各家去。
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
22:18 以色列王对约沙法说，我岂没有告诉你，这人指着我所说的预言，不说吉语单说凶言吗。
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?
22:19 米该雅说，你要听耶和华的话。我看见耶和华坐在宝座上，天上的万军侍立在他左右。
And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.
22:20 耶和华说，谁去引诱亚哈上基列的拉末去阵亡呢。这个就这样说，那个就那样说。
And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
22:21 随后有一个神灵出来，站在耶和华面前，说，我去引诱他。
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
22:22 耶和华问他说，你用何法呢。他说，我去，要在他众先知口中作谎言的灵。耶和华说，这样，你必能引诱他，你去如此行吧。
And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
22:23 现在耶和华使谎言的灵入了你这些先知的口，并且耶和华已经命定降祸与你。
Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.
22:24 基拿拿的儿子西底家前来，打米该雅的脸，说，耶和华的灵从哪里离开我与你说话呢。
But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
22:25 米该雅说，你进严密的屋子藏躲的那日，就必看见了。
And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
22:26 以色列王说，将米该雅带回，交给邑宰亚们和王的儿子约阿施，说
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
22:27 王如此说，把这个人下在监里，使他受苦，吃不饱喝不足，等候我平平安安地回来。
And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.
22:28 米该雅说，你若能平平安安地回来，那就是耶和华没有藉我说这话了。又说，众民哪，你们都要听。
And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
22:29 以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了。
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
22:30 以色列王对约沙法说，我要改装上阵，你可以仍穿王服。以色列王就改装上阵。
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
22:31 先是亚兰王吩咐他的三十二个车兵长说，他们的兵将，无论大小，你们都不可与他们争战，只要与以色列王争战。
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.
22:32 车兵长看见约沙法，便说，这必是以色列王。就转过去与他争战，约沙法便呼喊。
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
22:33 车兵长见不是以色列王，就转去不追他了。
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
22:34 有一人随便开弓，恰巧射入以色列王的甲缝里。王对赶车的说，我受了重伤，你转过车来，拉我出阵吧。
And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
22:35 那日，阵势越战越猛，有人扶王站在车上，抵挡亚兰人。到晚上，王就死了，血从伤处流在车中。
And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
22:36 约在日落的时候，有号令传遍军中，说，各归本城，各归本地吧。
And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
22:37 王既死了，众人将他送到撒马利亚，就葬在那里。
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
22:38 又有人把他的车洗在撒马利亚的池旁（妓女在那里洗澡），狗来舔他的血，正如耶和华所说的话。
And one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spake.
22:39 亚哈其馀的事，凡他所行的和他所修造的象牙宫，并所建筑的一切城邑，都写在以色列诸王记上。
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
22:40 亚哈与他列祖同睡。他儿子亚哈谢接续他作王。
So Ahab slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
22:41 以色列王亚哈第四年，亚撒的儿子约沙法登基作了犹大王。
And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

Jehoshaphat was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
22:43 约沙法行他父亲亚撒所行的道，不偏离左右，行耶和华眼中看为正的事。只是邱坛还没有废去，百姓仍在那里献祭烧香。
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
22:44 约沙法与以色列王和好。
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
22:45 约沙法其馀的事和他所显出的勇力，并他怎样争战，都写在犹大列王记上。
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
22:46 约沙法将他父亲亚撒在世所剩下的娈童都从国中除去了。
And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
22:47 那时以东没有王，有总督治理。
There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
22:48 约沙法制造他施船只，要往俄斐去，将金子运来。只是没有去，因为船在以旬迦别破坏了。
Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
22:49 亚哈的儿子亚哈谢对约沙法说，容我的仆人和你的仆人坐船同去吧。约沙法却不肯。

Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
22:52 他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，效法他的父母，又行尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪里的事。
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
22:53 他照他父亲一切所行的，事奉敬拜巴力，惹耶和华以色列神的怒气。
For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
