列王紀下 3
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
King James Version with Apocrypha
1猶大 王 約沙法 十八年， 亞哈 的兒子 約蘭 在 撒馬利亞 登基作了 以色列 王十二年。
1Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2他行耶和華眼中看為惡的事，但不致像他父母所行的，因為除掉他父所造 巴力 的柱像。
2And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD ; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
3然而，他貼近 尼八 的兒子 耶羅波安 使 以色列 人陷在罪裏的那罪，總不離開。
3Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
4摩押 王 米沙 牧養許多羊， 每年 將十萬羊羔的毛和十萬公綿羊的毛給 以色列 王進貢。
4¶ And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5亞哈 死後， 摩押 王背叛 以色列 王。
5But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6那時 約蘭 王出 撒馬利亞 ，數點 以色列 眾人。
6¶ And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
7前行的時候，差人去見 猶大 王 約沙法 ，說：「 摩押 王背叛我，你肯同我去攻打 摩押 嗎？」他說：「我肯上去，你我不分彼此，我的民與你的民一樣，我的馬與你的馬一樣。」
7And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art , my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.
8約蘭 說：「我們從哪條路上去呢？」回答說：「從 以東 曠野的路上去。」
8And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
9於是， 以色列 王和 猶大 王，並 以東 王，都一同去繞行七日的路程；軍隊和所帶的牲畜沒有水喝。
9So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
10以色列 王說：「哀哉！耶和華招聚我們這三王，乃要交在 摩押 人的手裏。」
10And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
11約沙法 說：「這裏不是有耶和華的先知嗎？我們可以託他求問耶和華。」 以色列 王的一個臣子回答說：「這裏有 沙法 的兒子 以利沙 ，就是從前服事 以利亞 的。」
11But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD , that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12約沙法 說：「他必有耶和華的話。」於是 以色列 王和 約沙法 ，並 以東 王都下去見他。
12And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13以利沙 對 以色列 王說：「我與你何干？去問你父親的先知和你母親的先知吧！」 以色列 王對他說：「不要這樣說，耶和華招聚我們這三王，乃要交在 摩押 人的手裏。」
13And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the LORD hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
14以利沙 說：「我指着所事奉永生的萬軍耶和華起誓，我若不看 猶大 王 約沙法 的情面，必不理你，不顧你。
14And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
15現在你們給我找一個彈琴的來。」彈琴的時候，耶和華的靈就降在 以利沙 身上。
15But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
16他便說：「耶和華如此說：『你們要在這谷中滿處挖溝；
16And he said, Thus saith the LORD , Make this valley full of ditches.
17因為耶和華如此說：你們雖不見風，不見雨，這谷必滿了水，使你們和牲畜有水喝。』
17For thus saith the LORD , Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
18在耶和華眼中這還算為小事，他也必將 摩押 人交在你們手中。
18And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD : he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
19你們必攻破一切堅城美邑，砍伐各種佳樹，塞住一切水泉，用石頭糟踏一切美田。」
19And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
20次日早晨，約在獻祭的時候，有水從 以東 而來，遍地就滿了水。
20And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21摩押 眾人聽見這三王上來要與他們爭戰，凡能頂盔貫甲的，無論老少，盡都聚集站在邊界上。
21¶ And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.
22次日早晨，日光照在水上， 摩押 人起來，看見對面水紅如血，
22And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
23就說：「這是血啊！必是三王互相擊殺，俱都滅亡。 摩押 人哪，我們現在去搶奪財物吧！」
23And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24摩押 人到了 以色列 營， 以色列 人就起來攻打他們，以致他們在 以色列 人面前逃跑。 以色列 人往前追殺 摩押 人，直殺入 摩押 的境內，
24And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
25拆毀 摩押 的城邑，各人拋石填滿一切美田，塞住一切水泉，砍伐各種佳樹，只剩下 吉珥‧哈列設 的石 牆 ；甩石的兵在四圍攻打那城。
25And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir-haraseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it , and smote it.
26摩押 王見陣勢甚大，難以對敵，就率領七百拿刀的兵，要衝過陣去到 以東 王那裏，卻是不能；
26¶ And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
27便將那應當接續他作王的長子，在城上獻為燔祭。 以色列 人遭遇 耶和華的 大怒，於是三王離開 摩押 王，各回本國去了。
27Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
