列王紀下 10
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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:
1Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, saying,
2「你們那裏既有你們主人的眾子和車馬、器械、堅固城,
2“Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor,
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。」
3select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
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, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”
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。」
5He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”
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。
6Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
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。
7When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
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。」
8A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance 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?
9In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed 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。」
10Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of the LORD’s word, which the LORD spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For the LORD has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”
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 struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.
12耶戶 起身往 撒馬利亞 去。在路上、牧人剪羊毛之處,
12He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on 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。」
13Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children 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。
14He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn’t leave 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。
15When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” “If it is, give me your hand.” He gave him his hand; and he took 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,
16He said, “Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.” So they 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。
17When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed them, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to Elijah.
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。
18Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
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, all of his worshipers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshipers of Baal.
20耶戶 說:「要為 巴力 宣告嚴肅會!」於是宣告了。
20Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
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。
21Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn’t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
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。
22He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal!” So he brought robes out to them.
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。」
23Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of the LORD are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal.”
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!」
24So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and said, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.”
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,
25As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.
26將 巴力 廟中的柱像都拿出來燒了;
26They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burned them.
27毀壞了 巴力 柱像,拆毀了 巴力 廟作為廁所,直到今日。
27They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
28這樣, 耶戶 在 以色列 中滅了 巴力 。
28Thus 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。
29However, Jehu didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin—the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in 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。」
30The LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to Ahab’s house according to all that was in my heart, your descendants shall sit on 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. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he 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 cut away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders 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 Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
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。
34Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles 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。
35Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
36耶戶 在 撒馬利亞 作 以色列 王二十八年。
36The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
