Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1亞哈 將 以利亞 一切所行的和他用刀殺眾先知的事都告訴 耶洗別 。
1And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
2耶洗別 就差遣人去見 以利亞 ,告訴他說:「明日約在這時候,我若不使你的性命像那些人的性命一樣,願神明重重地降罰與我。」
2And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour tomorrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them.
3以利亞 見這光景就起來逃命,到了 猶大 的 別是巴 ,將僕人留在那裏,
3Then Elias was afraid, and rising up he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there,
4自己在曠野走了一日的路程,來到一棵羅騰樹下,就坐在那裏求死,說:「耶和華啊,罷了!求你取我的性命,因為我不勝於我的列祖。」
4And he went forward, one day’s journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers.
5他就躺在羅騰樹下,睡着了。有一個天使拍他,說:「起來吃吧!」
5And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat.
6他觀看,見頭旁有一瓶水與炭火燒的餅,他就吃了喝了,仍然躺下。
6He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again.
7耶和華的使者第二次來拍他,說:「起來吃吧!因為你當走的路甚遠。」
7And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go.
8他就起來吃了喝了,仗着這飲食的力,走了四十晝夜,到了上帝的山,就是 何烈山 。
8And he arose, and ate, and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.
9他在那裏進了一個洞,就住在洞中。耶和華的話臨到他說:「 以利亞 啊,你在這裏做甚麼?」
9And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave: and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias?
10他說:「我為耶和華-萬軍之上帝大發熱心;因為 以色列 人背棄了你的約,毀壞了你的壇,用刀殺了你的先知,只剩下我一個人,他們還要尋索我的命。」
10And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
11耶和華說:「你出來站在山上,在我面前。」那時耶和華從那裏經過,在他面前有烈風大作,崩山碎石,耶和華卻不在風中;風後地震,耶和華卻不在其中;
11And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
12地震後有火,耶和華也不在火中;火後有微小的聲音。
12And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
13以利亞 聽見,就用外衣蒙上臉,出來站在洞口。有聲音向他說:「 以利亞 啊,你在這裏做甚麼?」
13And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered:
14他說:「我為耶和華-萬軍之上帝大發熱心;因為 以色列 人背棄了你的約,毀壞了你的壇,用刀殺了你的先知,只剩下我一個人,他們還要尋索我的命。」
14With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
15耶和華對他說:「你回去,從曠野往 大馬士革 去。到了那裏,就要膏 哈薛 作 亞蘭 王,
15And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way through the desert to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
16又膏 寧示 的孫子 耶戶 作 以色列 王,並膏 亞伯‧米何拉 人 沙法 的兒子 以利沙 作先知接續你。
16And thou shalt anoint Jehu the son of Namsi to be king over Israel: and Eliseus the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room.
17將來躲避 哈薛 之刀的,必被 耶戶 所殺;躲避 耶戶 之刀的,必被 以利沙 所殺。
17And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus.
18但我在 以色列 人中 為自己 留下七千人,是未曾向 巴力 屈膝的,未曾與 巴力 親嘴的。」
18And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him kissing the hands.
19於是, 以利亞 離開那裏走了,遇見 沙法 的兒子 以利沙 耕地;在他前頭有十二對 牛 ,自己趕着第十二對。 以利亞 到他那裏去,將自己的外衣搭在他身上。
19And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.
20以利沙 就離開牛,跑到 以利亞 那裏,說:「求你容我先與父母親嘴,然後我便跟隨你。」 以利亞 對他說:「你回去吧,我向你做了甚麼呢?」
20And he forthwith left the oxen and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee.
21以利沙 就離開他回去,宰了一對牛,用套牛的器具煮肉給民吃,隨後就起身跟隨 以利亞 ,服事他。
21And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him.
