列王纪上 18
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
World English Bible
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。」
1After many days, the LORD’s word came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.”
2以利亚 就去，要使 亚哈 得见他。那时， 撒马利亚 有大饥荒；
2Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. The famine was severe in Samaria.
3亚哈 将他的家宰 俄巴底 召了来。（ 俄巴底 甚是敬畏耶和华，
3Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly;
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。）
4for when Jezebel cut off the LORD’s prophets, Obadiah took one hundred prophets, and hid them fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
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。」
5Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals.”
6于是二人分地游行， 亚哈 独走一路， 俄巴底 独走一路。
6So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
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？」
7As Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him. He recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?”
8回答说：「是。你去告诉你主人说， 以利亚 在这里 。」
8He answered him, “It is I. Go, tell your lord, ‘Behold, Elijah is here!’”
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？
9He said, “How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
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。
10As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he took an oath of the kingdom and nation that they didn’t find you.
11现在你说，要去告诉你主人说， 以利亚 在这里 ；
11Now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, Elijah is here.”’
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。
12It will happen, as soon as I leave you, that the LORD’s Spirit will carry you I don’t know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can’t find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth.
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？
13Wasn’t it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the LORD’s prophets, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD’s prophets with fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
14现在你说，要去告诉你主人说， 以利亚 在这里 ，他必杀我。」
14Now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, Elijah is here”.’ He will kill me.”
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。」
15Elijah said, “As the LORD of Armies lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.”
16于是 俄巴底 去迎着 亚哈 ，告诉他； 亚哈 就去迎着 以利亚 。
16So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17亚哈 见了 以利亚 ，便说：「使 以色列 遭灾的就是你吗？」
17When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?”
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 。
18He answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken the LORD’s commandments and you have followed the Baals.
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。」
19Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to Mount Carmel, and four hundred fifty of the prophets of Baal, and four hundred of the prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”
20亚哈 就差遣人招聚 以色列 众人和先知都上 迦密山 。
20So Ahab sent to all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to Mount Carmel.
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。
21Elijah came near to all the people, and said, “How long will you waver between the two sides? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” The people didn’t say a word.
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。
22Then Elijah said to the people, “I, even I only, am left as a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred fifty men.
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。
23Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under it.
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。」
24You call on the name of your god, and I will call on the LORD’s name. The God who answers by fire, let him be God.” All the people answered, “What you say is good.”
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。」
25Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one bull for yourselves, and dress it first, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.”
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 啊，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。
26They took the bull which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, “Baal, hear us!” But there was no voice, and nobody answered. They leaped about the altar which was made.
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。」
27At noon, Elijah mocked them, and said, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is deep in thought, or he has gone somewhere, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he sleeps and must be awakened.”
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。
28They cried aloud, and cut themselves in their way with knives and lances until the blood gushed out on them.
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。
29When midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the evening offering; but there was no voice, no answer, and nobody paid attention.
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。
30Elijah said to all the people, “Come near to me!”; and all the people came near to him. He repaired the LORD’s altar that had been thrown down.
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 」），
31Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the LORD’s word came, saying, “Israel shall be your name.”
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，
32With the stones he built an altar in the LORD’s name. He made a trench around the altar large enough to contain two seahs of seed.
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」；
33He put the wood in order, and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood. He said, “Fill four jars with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.”
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。
34He said, “Do it a second time;” and they did it the second time. He said, “Do it a third time;” and they did it the third time.
35水流在坛的四围，沟里也满了水。
35The water ran around the altar; and he also filled the trench with water.
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，耶和华啊，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。
36At the time of the evening offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “LORD, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word.
37耶和华啊，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。」
37Hear me, LORD, hear me, that this people may know that you, LORD, are God, and that you have turned their heart back again.”
38于是，耶和华降下火来，烧尽燔祭、木柴、石头、尘土，又烧干沟里的水。
38Then the LORD’s fire fell and consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones, and the dust; and it licked up the water that was in the trench.
39众民看见了，就俯伏在地，说：「耶和华是 神！耶和华是 神！」
39When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, “The LORD, he is God! The LORD, he is God!”
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。
40Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Don’t let one of them escape!” They seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.
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。」
41Elijah said to Ahab, “Get up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.”
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；
42So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed himself down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
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。
43He said to his servant, “Go up now and look toward the sea.” He went up and looked, then said, “There is nothing.” He said, “Go again” seven times.
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。」
44On the seventh time, he said, “Behold, a small cloud, like a man’s hand, is rising out of the sea.” He said, “Go up, tell Ahab, ‘Get ready and go down, so that the rain doesn’t stop you.’”
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。
45In a little while, the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
46耶和华的灵降在 以利亚 身上，他就束上腰，奔在 亚哈 前头，直到 耶斯列 的城门。
46The LORD’s hand was on Elijah; and he tucked his cloak into his belt and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
