列王紀上 19
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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 。
1Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and how he had killed 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。」
2Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I don’t make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time!”
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，
3When he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, 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。」
4But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree. Then 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.”
5他就躺在羅騰樹下，睡着了。有一個天使拍他，說：「起來吃吧！」
5He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel 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 cake baked on the coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank, and lay down 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。」
7The LORD’s angel came again the second time, and touched him, and said, “Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.”
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 。
8He arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb, God’s Mountain.
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？」
9He came to a cave there, and camped there; and behold, the LORD’s word came to him, and he said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
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。」
10He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, 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；
11He said, “Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD.” Behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake; but the LORD was 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。
12After the earthquake a fire passed; but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a still small voice.
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？」
13When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle, went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. Behold, a voice came to him, and said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
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。」
14He said, “I have been very jealous for the LORD, the God of Armies; for the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I, even I only, 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，
15The LORD said to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive, 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。
16Anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel; and anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah to be prophet in your place.
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。
17He who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill.
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。」
18Yet I reserved seven thousand in Israel, all the knees of which have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
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。
19So he departed from there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth. Elijah went over to him and put his mantle on 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？」
20Elisha left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, “Let me please kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you.” He said to him, “Go back again; for what have I done to you?”
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。
21He returned from following him, and took the yoke of oxen, killed them, and boiled their meat with the oxen’s equipment, and gave to the people; and they ate. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and served him.
