Berean Standard Bible
1亞蘭 國和 以色列 國三年沒有爭戰。
1Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
2到第三年， 猶大 王 約沙法 下去見 以色列 王。
2However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,
3以色列 王對臣僕說：「你們不知道 基列 的 拉末 是屬我們的嗎？我們豈可靜坐不動，不從 亞蘭 王手裏奪回來嗎？」
3who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
4亞哈 問 約沙法 說：「你肯同我去攻取 基列 的 拉末 嗎？」 約沙法 對 以色列 王說：「你我不分彼此，我的民與你的民一樣，我的馬與你的馬一樣。」
4So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
5約沙法 對 以色列 王說：「請你先求問耶和華。」
5But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
6於是 以色列 王招聚先知，約有四百人，問他們說：「我上去攻取 基列 的 拉末 可以不可以？」他們說：「可以上去，因為主必將那城交在王的手裏。」
6So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
7約沙法 說：「這裏不是還有耶和華的先知，我們可以求問他嗎？」
7But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
8以色列 王對 約沙法 說：「還有一個人，是 音拉 的兒子 米該雅 ，我們可以託他求問耶和華。只是我恨他；因為他指着我所說的預言，不說吉語，單說凶言。」 約沙法 說：「王不必這樣說。」
8The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
9以色列 王就召了一個太監來，說：「你快去，將 音拉 的兒子 米該雅 召來。」
9So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
10以色列 王和 猶大 王 約沙法 在 撒馬利亞 城門前的空場上，各穿朝服，坐在位上，所有的先知都在他們面前說預言。
10Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
11基拿拿 的兒子 西底家 造了兩個鐵角，說：「耶和華如此說：『你要用這角牴觸 亞蘭 人，直到將他們滅盡。』」
11Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”
12所有的先知也都這樣預言說：「可以上 基列 的 拉末 去，必然得勝，因為耶和華必將那城交在王的手中。」
12And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
13那去召 米該雅 的使者對 米該雅 說：「眾先知一口同音地都向王說吉言，你不如與他們說一樣的話，也說吉言。」
13Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
14米該雅 說：「我指着永生的耶和華起誓，耶和華對我說甚麼，我就說甚麼。」
14But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”
15米該雅 到王面前，王問他說：「 米該雅 啊，我們上去攻取 基列 的 拉末 可以不可以？」他回答說：「可以上去，必然得勝，耶和華必將那城交在王的手中。」
15When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
16王對他說：「我當囑咐你幾次，你才奉耶和華的名向我說實話呢？」
16But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
17米該雅 說：「我看見 以色列 眾民散在山上，如同沒有牧人的羊群一般。耶和華說：『這民沒有主人，他們可以平平安安地各歸各家去。』」
17So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
18以色列 王對 約沙法 說：「我豈沒有告訴你，這人指着我所說的預言，不說吉語單說凶言嗎？」
18Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
19米該雅 說：「你要聽耶和華的話！我看見耶和華坐在寶座上，天上的萬軍侍立在他左右。
19Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
20耶和華說：『誰去引誘 亞哈 上 基列 的 拉末 去陣亡呢？』這個就這樣說，那個就那樣說。
20And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
21隨後有一個神靈出來，站在耶和華面前，說：『我去引誘他。』
21Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
22耶和華問他說：『你用何法呢？』他說：『我去，要在他眾先知口中作謊言的靈。』耶和華說：『這樣，你必能引誘他，你去如此行吧！』
22And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
23現在耶和華使謊言的靈入了你這些先知的口，並且耶和華已經命定降禍與你。」
23So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
24基拿拿 的兒子 西底家 前來，打 米該雅 的臉，說：「耶和華的靈從哪裏離開我與你說話呢？」
24Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”
25米該雅 說：「你進嚴密的屋子藏躲的那日，就必看見了。」
25Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
26以色列 王說：「將 米該雅 帶回，交給邑宰 亞們 和王的兒子 約阿施 ，說
26And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
27王如此說，把這個人下在監裏，使他受苦，吃不飽喝不足，等候我平平安安地回來。」
27and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
28米該雅 說：「你若能平平安安地回來，那就是耶和華沒有藉我說這話了」；又說：「眾民哪，你們都要聽！」
28But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
29以色列 王和 猶大 王 約沙法 上 基列 的 拉末 去了。
29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30以色列 王對 約沙法 說：「我要改裝上陣，你可以仍穿王服。」 以色列 王就改裝上陣。
30And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
31先是 亞蘭 王吩咐他的三十二個車兵長說：「他們的 兵將 ，無論大小，你們都不可與他們爭戰，只要與 以色列 王爭戰。」
31Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
32車兵長看見 約沙法 ，便說：「這必是 以色列 王！」就轉過去與他爭戰， 約沙法 便呼喊。
32When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
33車兵長見不是 以色列 王，就轉去不追他了。
33And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
34有一人隨便開弓，恰巧射入 以色列 王的甲縫裏。王對趕車的說：「我受了重傷，你轉過車來，拉我出陣吧！」
34However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
35那日，陣勢越戰越猛，有人扶王站在車上，抵擋 亞蘭 人。到晚上，王就死了，血從傷處流在車中。
35The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
36約在日落的時候，有號令傳遍軍中，說：「各歸本城，各歸本地吧！」
36As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”
37王既死了，眾人將他送到 撒馬利亞 ，就葬在那裏；
37So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
38又有人把他的車洗在 撒馬利亞 的池旁（妓女 在那裏 洗澡），狗來舔他的血，正如耶和華所說的話。
38And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.
39亞哈 其餘的事，凡他所行的和他所修造的象牙宮，並所建築的一切城邑，都寫在 以色列 諸王記上。
39As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
40亞哈 與他列祖同睡。他兒子 亞哈謝 接續他作王。
40And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
41以色列 王 亞哈 第四年， 亞撒 的兒子 約沙法 登基作了 猶大 王。
41In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.
42約沙法 登基的時候年三十五歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王二十五年。他母親名叫 阿蘇巴 ，乃 示利希 的女兒。
42Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
43約沙法 行他父親 亞撒 所行的道，不偏離左右，行耶和華眼中看為正的事；只是邱壇還沒有廢去，百姓仍在那裏獻祭燒香。
43And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
44約沙法 與 以色列 王和好。
44Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
45約沙法 其餘的事和他所顯出的勇力，並他怎樣爭戰，都寫在 猶大 列王記上。
45As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
46約沙法 將他父親 亞撒 在世所剩下的孌童都從國中除去了。
46He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.
47那時 以東 沒有王，有總督治理。
47And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.
48約沙法 製造 他施 船隻，要往 俄斐 去，將金子運來；只是沒有去，因為船在 以旬‧迦別 破壞了。
48Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
49亞哈 的兒子 亞哈謝 對 約沙法 說：「容我的僕人和你的僕人坐船同去吧！」 約沙法 卻不肯。
49At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
50約沙法 與列祖同睡。葬在 大衛城 他列祖的墳地裏。他兒子 約蘭 接續他作王。
50And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
51猶大 王 約沙法 十七年， 亞哈 的兒子 亞哈謝 在 撒馬利亞 登基，作 以色列 王共二年。
51In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.
52他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，效法他的父母，又行 尼八 的兒子 耶羅波安 使 以色列 人陷在罪裏的事。
52And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
53他照他父親一切所行的，事奉敬拜 巴力 ，惹耶和華－ 以色列 上帝的怒氣。
53Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
