列王紀下 10
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1亞哈 有七十個兒子在 撒馬利亞 。 耶戶 寫信送到 撒馬利亞 ，通知 耶斯列 的首領，就是長老和教養 亞哈 眾子 的人，說：
1And Achab had seventy sons in Samaria: so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, to the chief men of the city, and to the ancients, and to them that brought up Achab’s children, saying:
2「你們那裏既有你們主人的眾子和車馬、器械、堅固城，
2As soon as you receive these letters, ye that have your master’s sons, and chariots, and horses, and fenced cities, and armour,
3接了這信，就可以在你們主人的眾子中選擇一個賢能合宜的，使他坐他父親的位，你們也可以為你們主人的家爭戰。」
3Choose the best, and him that shall please you most of your master’s sons, and set him on his father’s throne, and fight for the house of your master.
4他們卻甚懼怕，彼此說：「二王在他面前尚且站立不住，我們怎能站得住呢？」
4But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: Behold two kings could not stand before him, and how shall we be able to resist?
5家宰、邑宰，和長老，並教養 眾子 的人，打發人去見 耶戶 ，說：「我們是你的僕人，凡你所吩咐我們的都必遵行，我們不立誰作王，你看怎樣好就怎樣行。」
5Therefore the overseers of the house, and the rulers of the city, and the ancients, and the tutors sent to Jehu, saying: We are thy servants, whatsoever thou shalt command us we will do, neither will we make us a king: do thou all that pleaseth thee.
6耶戶 又給他們寫信說：「你們若歸順我，聽從我的話，明日這時候，要將你們主人眾子的首級帶到 耶斯列 來見我。」那時王的兒子七十人都住在教養他們那城中的尊貴人家裏。
6And he wrote letters the second time to them, saying: If you be mine, and will obey me, take the heads of the sons of your master, and come to me to Jezrahel by tomorrow this time. Now the king’s sons, being seventy men, were brought up with the chief men of the city.
7信一到，他們就把王的七十個兒子殺了，將首級裝在筐裏，送到在 耶斯列 的 耶戶 那裏。
7And when the letters came to them, they took the king’s sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezrahel.
8有使者來告訴 耶戶 說：「他們將王眾子的首級送來了。」 耶戶 說：「將首級在城門口堆作兩堆，擱到明日。」
8And a messenger came, and told him, saying: They have brought the heads of the king’s sons. And he said: Lay ye them in two heaps by the entering in of the gate until the morning.
9次日早晨， 耶戶 出來，站着對眾民說：「你們都是公義的，我背叛我主人，將他殺了；這些人卻是誰殺的呢？
9And when it was light, he went out, and standing said to all the people: You are just: if I conspired against my master, and slew him, who hath slain all these?
10由此可知，耶和華指着 亞哈 家所說的話一句沒有落空，因為耶和華藉他僕人 以利亞 所說的話都成就了。」
10See therefore now that there hath not fallen to the ground any of the words of the Lord, which the Lord spoke concerning the house of Achab, and the Lord hath done that which he spoke in the hand of his servant Elias.
11凡 亞哈 家在 耶斯列 所剩下的人和他的大臣、密友、祭司， 耶戶 盡都殺了，沒有留下一個。
11So Jehu slew all that were left of the house of Achab in Jezrahel, and all his chief men, and his friends, and his priests, till there were no remains left of him.
12耶戶 起身往 撒馬利亞 去。在路上、牧人剪羊毛之處，
12And he arose, and went to Samaria: and when he was come to the shepherds’ cabin in the way,
13遇見 猶大 王 亞哈謝 的弟兄，問他們說：「你們是誰？」回答說：「我們是 亞哈謝 的弟兄，現在下去要問王和太后的眾子安。」
13He met with the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and he said to them: Who are you? And they answered: We are the brethren of Ochozias, and are come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
14耶戶 吩咐說：「活捉他們！」跟從的人就活捉了他們，將他們殺在剪羊毛之處的坑邊，共四十二人，沒有留下一個。
14And he said: Take them alive. And they took them alive, and killed them at the pit by the cabin, two and forty men, and he left not any of them.
15耶戶 從那裏前行，恰遇 利甲 的兒子 約拿達 來迎接他， 耶戶 問他安，對他說：「你誠心待我像我誠心待你嗎？」 約拿達 回答說：「是。」 耶戶 說：「若是這樣，你向我伸手」，他就伸手； 耶戶 拉他上車。
15And when he was departed thence, he found Jonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him. And he said to him: Is thy heart right as my heart is with thy heart? And Jonadab said: It is. If it be, said he, give me thy hand. He gave him his hand. And he lifted him up to him into the chariot,
16耶戶 說：「你和我同去，看我為耶和華怎樣熱心」；於是請他坐在車上，
16And he said to him: Come with me, and see my zeal for the Lord. So he made him ride in his chariot,
17到了 撒馬利亞 ，就把 撒馬利亞 的 亞哈 家剩下的人都殺了，直到滅盡，正如耶和華對 以利亞 所說的。
17And brought him into Samaria. And he slew all that were left of Achab in Samaria, to a man, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke by Elias.
18耶戶 招聚眾民，對他們說：「 亞哈 事奉 巴力 還冷淡， 耶戶 卻更熱心。
18And Jehu gathered together all the people, and said to them: Achab worshipped Baal a little, but I will worship him more.
19現在我要給 巴力 獻大祭。應當叫 巴力 的眾先知和一切拜 巴力 的人，並 巴力 的眾祭司，都到我這裏來，不可缺少一個；凡不來的必不得活。」 耶戶 這樣行，是用詭計要殺盡拜 巴力 的人。
19Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, and all his servants, and all his priests: let none be wanting, for I have a great sacrifice to offer to Baal: whosoever shall be wanting shall not live. Now Jehu did this craftily, that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
20耶戶 說：「要為 巴力 宣告嚴肅會！」於是宣告了。
20And he said: Proclaim a festival for Baal. And he called,
21耶戶 差人走遍 以色列 地；凡拜 巴力 的人都來齊了，沒有一個不來的。他們進了 巴力 廟， 巴力 廟中從前邊直到後邊都滿了人。
21And he sent into all the borders of Israel, and all the servants of Baal came: there was not one left that did not come. And they went into the temple of Baal: and the house of Baal was filled, from one end to the other.
22耶戶 吩咐掌管禮服的人說：「拿出禮服來，給一切拜 巴力 的人穿。」他就拿出禮服來給了他們。
22And he said to them that were over the wardrobe: Bring forth garments for all the servants of Baal. And they brought them forth garments.
23耶戶 和 利甲 的兒子 約拿達 進了 巴力 廟，對拜 巴力 的人說：「你們察看察看，在你們這裏不可有耶和華的僕人，只可容留拜 巴力 的人。」
23And Jehu and Jonadab the son of Rechab went to the temple of Baal, and said to the worshippers of Baal: Search, and see that there be not any with you of the servants of the Lord, but that there be the servants of Baal only.
24耶戶 和 約拿達 進去，獻 平安 祭和燔祭。 耶戶 先安派八十人在廟外，吩咐說：「我將這些人交在你們手中，若有一人脫逃， 誰放的 必叫他償命！」
24And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings: but Jehu had prepared him fourscore men without, and said to them: If any of the men escape, whom I have brought into your hands, he that letteth him go shall answer life for life.
25耶戶 獻完了燔祭，就 出來 吩咐護衛兵和眾軍長說：「你們進去殺他們，不容一人出來！」護衛兵和軍長就用刀殺他們，將屍首拋出去，便到 巴力 廟的城去了，
25And it came to pass, when the burnt offering was ended, that Jehu commanded his soldiers and captains, saying: Go in, and kill them, let none escape. And the soldiers and captains slew them with the edge of the sword, and cast them out: and they went into the city of the temple of Baal,
26將 巴力 廟中的柱像都拿出來燒了；
26And brought the statue out of Baal’s temple, and burnt it,
27毀壞了 巴力 柱像，拆毀了 巴力 廟作為廁所，直到今日。
27And broke it in pieces. They destroyed also the temple of Baal, and made a jakes in its place unto this day.
28這樣， 耶戶 在 以色列 中滅了 巴力 。
28So Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel:
29只是 耶戶 不離開 尼八 的兒子 耶羅波安 使 以色列 人陷在罪裏的那罪，就是拜 伯特利 和 但 的金牛犢。
29But yet he departed not from the sills of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, nor did he forsake the golden calves that were in Bethel and Dan.
30耶和華對 耶戶 說：「因你辦好我眼中看為正的事，照我的心意待 亞哈 家，你的子孫必接續你坐 以色列 的國位，直到四代。」
30And the Lord said to Jehu: Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right and pleasing in my eyes, and hast done to the house of Achab according to all that was in my heart: thy children shall sit upon the throne of Israel to the fourth Generation.
31只是 耶戶 不盡心遵守耶和華－ 以色列 上帝的律法，不離開 耶羅波安 使 以色列 人陷在罪裏的那罪。
31But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord the God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel to sin.
32在那些日子，耶和華才割裂 以色列 國，使 哈薛 攻擊 以色列 的境界，
32In those days the Lord began to he weary of Israel: and Hazael ravaged them in all the coasts of Israel,
33乃是 約旦河 東、 基列 全地，從靠近 亞嫩谷 邊的 亞羅珥 起，就是 基列 和 巴珊 的 迦得 人、 呂便 人、 瑪拿西 人之地。
33From the Jordan eastward, all the land of Galaad, and Gad, and Ruben, and Manasses, from Aroer, which is upon the torrent Amen, and Galaad, and Basan.
34耶戶 其餘的事，凡他所行的和他的勇力都寫在 以色列 諸王記上。
34But the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and his strength, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
35耶戶 與他列祖同睡，葬在 撒馬利亞 ；他兒子 約哈斯 接續他作王。
35And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
36耶戶 在 撒馬利亞 作 以色列 王二十八年。
36And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel, in Samaria, was eight and twenty years.
