列王紀上 13
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1那時，有一個神人奉耶和華的命從 猶大 來到 伯特利 。 耶羅波安 正站在壇旁要燒香；
1And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the LORD unto Beth-el; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to offer.
2神人奉耶和華的命向壇呼叫，說：「壇哪，壇哪！耶和華如此說： 大衛 家裏必生一個兒子，名叫 約西亞 ，他必將邱壇的祭司，就是在你上面燒香的，殺在你上面，人的骨頭也必燒在你上面。」
2And he cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said: 'O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD: Behold, a son shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he sacrifice the priests of the high places that offer upon thee, and men's bones shall they burn upon thee.'
3當日，神人設個預兆，說：「這壇必破裂，壇上的灰必傾撒，這是耶和華說的預兆。」
3And he gave a sign the same day saying: 'This is the sign which the LORD hath spoken: Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.'
4耶羅波安 王聽見神人向 伯特利 的壇所呼叫的話，就從壇上伸手，說：「拿住他吧！」王向神人所伸的手就枯乾了，不能彎回；
4And it came to pass, when the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Beth-el, that Jeroboam put forth his hand from the altar, saying: 'Lay hold on him.' And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back to him.
5壇也破裂了，壇上的灰傾撒了，正如神人奉耶和華的命所設的預兆。
5The altar also was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
6王對神人說：「請你為我禱告，求耶和華－你上帝的恩典使我的手復原。」於是神人祈禱耶和華，王的手就復了原，仍如尋常一樣。
6And the king answered and said unto the man of God: 'Entreat now the favour of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me.' And the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored him, and became as it was before.
7王對神人說：「請你同我回去 吃飯 ，加添心力，我也必給你賞賜。」
7And the king said unto the man of God: 'Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.'
8神人對王說：「你就是把你的宮一半給我，我也不同你進去，也不在這地方吃飯喝水；
8And the man of God said unto the king: 'If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place.
9因為有耶和華的話囑咐我，說不可在 伯特利 吃飯喝水，也不可從你去的原路回來。」
9For it so was charged me by the word of the LORD, saying: Thou shalt eat no bread, nor drink water, neither return by the way that thou camest.'
10於是神人從別的路回去，不從 伯特利 來的原路回去。
10So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Beth-el.
11有一個老先知住在 伯特利 ，他兒子們來，將神人當日在 伯特利 所行的一切事和向王所說的話都告訴了父親。
11Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and the words which he had spoken unto the king, and they told them unto their father.
12父親問他們說：「神人從哪條路去了呢？」兒子們 就告訴他 ；原來他們看見那從 猶大 來的神人所去的路。
12And their father said unto them: 'What way went he?' For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, that came from Judah.
13老先知就吩咐他兒子們說：「你們為我備驢。」他們備好了驢，他就騎上，
13And he said unto his sons: 'Saddle me the ass.' So they saddled him the ass; and he rode thereon.
14去追趕神人，遇見他坐在橡樹底下，就問他說：「你是從 猶大 來的神人不是？」他說：「是。」
14And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under a terebinth; and he said unto him: 'Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah?' And he said: 'I am.'
15老先知對他說：「請你同我回家吃飯。」
15Then he said unto him: 'Come home with me, and eat bread.'
16神人說：「我不可同你回去進你的家，也不可在這裏同你吃飯喝水；
16And he said: 'I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee; neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place.
17因為有耶和華的話囑咐我說：『你在那裏不可吃飯喝水，也不可從你去的原路回來。』」
17For it was said to me by the word of the LORD: Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn back to go by the way that thou camest.'
18老先知對他說：「我也是先知，和你一樣。有天使奉耶和華的命對我說：『你去把他帶回你的家，叫他吃飯喝水。』」這都是老先知誆哄他。
18And he said unto him: 'I also am a prophet as thou art; and an angel spoke unto me by the word of the LORD, saying: Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water.' — He lied unto him. —
19於是神人同老先知回去，在他家裏吃飯喝水。
19So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
20二人坐席的時候，耶和華的話臨到那帶神人回來的先知，
20And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back.
21他就對那從 猶大 來的神人說：「耶和華如此說：你既違背耶和華的話，不遵守耶和華－你上帝的命令，
21And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD: Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the word of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
22反倒回來，在耶和華禁止你吃飯喝水的地方吃了喝了，因此你的屍身不得入你列祖的墳墓。」
22but camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to thee: Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.'
23吃喝完了，老先知為所帶回來的先知備驢。
23And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, namely, for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24他就去了，在路上有個獅子遇見他，將他咬死，屍身倒在路上，驢站在屍身旁邊，獅子也站在屍身旁邊。
24And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him; and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it; the lion also stood by the carcass.
25有人從那裏經過，看見屍身倒在路上，獅子站在屍身旁邊，就來到老先知所住的城裏述說這事。
25And, behold, men passed by, and saw the carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass; and they came and told it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
26那帶神人回來的先知聽見這事，就說：「這是那違背了耶和華命令的神人，所以耶和華把他交給獅子；獅子抓傷他，咬死他，是應驗耶和華對他說的話。」
26And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said: 'It is the man of God, who rebelled against the word of the LORD; therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke unto him.'
27老先知就吩咐他兒子們說：「你們為我備驢。」他們就備了驢。
27And he spoke to his sons, saying: 'Saddle me the ass.' And they saddled it.
28他去了，看見神人的屍身倒在路上，驢和獅子站在屍身旁邊，獅子卻沒有吃屍身，也沒有抓傷驢。
28And he went and found his carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass; the lion had not eaten the carcass, nor torn the ass.
29老先知就把神人的屍身馱在驢上，帶回自己的城裏，要哀哭他，葬埋他；
29And the prophet took up the carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to lament, and to bury him.
30就把他的屍身葬在自己的墳墓裏，哀哭他， 說 ：「哀哉！我兄啊。」
30And he laid his carcass in his own grave; and they made lamentation for him: 'Alas, my brother!'
31安葬之後，老先知對他兒子們說：「我死了，你們要葬我在神人的墳墓裏，使我的屍骨靠近他的屍骨，
31And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying: 'When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.
32因為他奉耶和華的命指着 伯特利 的壇和 撒馬利亞 各城有邱壇之殿所說的話必定應驗。」
32For the saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall surely come to pass.'
33這事以後， 耶羅波安 仍不離開他的惡道，將凡民立為邱壇的祭司；凡願意的，他都分別為聖，立為邱壇的祭司。
33After this thing Jeroboam returned not from his evil way, but made again from among all the people priests of the high places; whosoever would, he consecrated him, that he might be one of the priests of the high places.
34這事叫 耶羅波安 的家陷在罪裏，甚至他的家從地上除滅了。
34And by this thing there was sin unto the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to destroy it from off the face of the earth.
