列王纪下 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
Berean Standard Bible
1犹大 王 约沙法 十八年， 亚哈 的儿子 约兰 在 撒马利亚 登基作了 以色列 王十二年。
1In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Jehoram son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria twelve years.
2他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，但不至像他父母所行的，因为除掉他父所造 巴力 的柱像。
2And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He removed the sacred pillar of Baal that his father had made.
3然而，他贴近 尼八 的儿子 耶罗波安 使 以色列 人陷在罪里的那罪，总不离开。
3Nevertheless, he clung to the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
4摩押 王 米沙 牧养许多羊， 每年 将十万羊羔的毛和十万公绵羊的毛给 以色列 王进贡。
4Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
5亚哈 死后， 摩押 王背叛 以色列 王。
5But after the death of Ahab, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6那时 约兰 王出 撒马利亚 ，数点 以色列 众人。
6So at that time King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.
7前行的时候，差人去见 犹大 王 约沙法 ，说：「 摩押 王背叛我，你肯同我去攻打 摩押 吗？」他说：「我肯上去，你我不分彼此，我的民与你的民一样，我的马与你的马一样。」
7And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
8约兰 说：「我们从哪条路上去呢？」回答说：「从 以东 旷野的路上去。」
8Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.
9于是， 以色列 王和 犹大 王，并 以东 王，都一同去绕行七日的路程；军队和所带的牲畜没有水喝。
9So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out, and after they had traveled a roundabout route for seven days, they had no water for their army or for their animals.
10以色列 王说：「哀哉！耶和华招聚我们这三王，乃要交在 摩押 人的手里。」
10“Alas,” said the king of Israel, “for the LORD has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab!”
11约沙法 说：「这里不是有耶和华的先知吗？我们可以托他求问耶和华。」 以色列 王的一个臣子回答说：「这里有 沙法 的儿子 以利沙 ，就是从前服事 以利亚 的。」
11But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.”
12约沙法 说：「他必有耶和华的话。」于是 以色列 王和 约沙法 ，并 以东 王都下去见他。
12Jehoshaphat affirmed, “The word of the LORD is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13以利沙 对 以色列 王说：「我与你何干？去问你父亲的先知和你母亲的先知吧！」 以色列 王对他说：「不要这样说，耶和华招聚我们这三王，乃要交在 摩押 人的手里。」
13Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
14以利沙 说：「我指着所事奉永生的万军耶和华起誓，我若不看 犹大 王 约沙法 的情面，必不理你，不顾你。
14Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.
15现在你们给我找一个弹琴的来。」弹琴的时候，耶和华的灵就降在 以利沙 身上。
15But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
16他便说：「耶和华如此说：『你们要在这谷中满处挖沟；
16and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’
17因为耶和华如此说：你们虽不见风，不见雨，这谷必满了水，使你们和牲畜有水喝。』
17For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’
18在耶和华眼中这还算为小事，他也必将 摩押 人交在你们手中。
18This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19你们必攻破一切坚城美邑，砍伐各种佳树，塞住一切水泉，用石头糟踏一切美田。」
19And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
20次日早晨，约在献祭的时候，有水从 以东 而来，遍地就满了水。
20The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
21摩押 众人听见这三王上来要与他们争战，凡能顶盔贯甲的，无论老少，尽都聚集站在边界上。
21Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border.
22次日早晨，日光照在水上， 摩押 人起来，看见对面水红如血，
22When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.
23就说：「这是血啊！必是三王互相击杀，俱都灭亡。 摩押 人哪，我们现在去抢夺财物吧！」
23“This is blood!” they exclaimed. “The kings have clashed swords and slaughtered one another. Now to the plunder, Moab!”
24摩押 人到了 以色列 营， 以色列 人就起来攻打他们，以致他们在 以色列 人面前逃跑。 以色列 人往前追杀 摩押 人，直杀入 摩押 的境内，
24But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and attacked them, and they fled before them. So the Israelites invaded their land and struck down the Moabites.
25拆毁 摩押 的城邑，各人抛石填满一切美田，塞住一切水泉，砍伐各种佳树，只剩下 吉珥·哈列设 的石 墙 ；甩石的兵在四围攻打那城。
25They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
26摩押 王见阵势甚大，难以对敌，就率领七百拿刀的兵，要冲过阵去到 以东 王那里，却是不能；
26When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not prevail.
27便将那应当接续他作王的长子，在城上献为燔祭。 以色列 人遭遇 耶和华的 大怒，于是三王离开 摩押 王，各回本国去了。
27So he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him, and offered him as a burnt offering on the city wall. And there was great fury against the Israelites, so they withdrew and returned to their own land.
