Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1先知門徒對 以利沙 說:「看哪,我們同你所住的地方過於窄小,
1And the sons of the prophets said to Eliseus: Behold the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
2求你容我們往 約旦河 去,各人從那裏取一根木料建造房屋居住。」他說:「你們去吧!」
2Let us go as far as the Jordan and take out of the wood every man a piece of timber, that we may build us there a place to dwell in. And he said: Go.
3有一人說:「求你與僕人同去。」回答說:「我可以去。」
3And one of them said: But come thou also with thy servants. He answered: I will come.
4於是 以利沙 與他們同去。到了 約旦河 ,就砍伐樹木。
4So he went with them. And when they were come to the Jordan they cut down wood.
5有一人砍樹的時候,斧頭掉在水裏,他就呼叫說:「哀哉!我主啊,這斧子是借的。」
5And it happened, as one was felling some timber, that the head of the axe fell into the water: and he cried out, and said: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, for this same was borrowed.
6神人問說:「掉在哪裏了?」他將那地方指給 以利沙 看。 以利沙 砍了一根木頭,拋在水裏,斧頭就漂上來了。
6And the man of God said: Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and cast it in thither: and the iron swam.
7以利沙 說:「拿起來吧!」那人就伸手拿起來了。
7And he said: Take it up. And he put out his hand and took it.
8亞蘭 王與 以色列 人爭戰,和他的臣僕商議說:「我要在某處某處安營。」
8And the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying: In such and such a place let us lay ambushes.
9神人打發人去見 以色列 王,說:「你要謹慎,不要從某處經過,因為 亞蘭 人從那裏下來了。」
9And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: Beware that thou pass not to such a place: for the Syrians are there in ambush.
10以色列 王差人去 窺探 神人所告訴所警戒他去的地方,就防備未受其害,不止一兩次。
10And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and prevented him, and looked well to himself there not once nor twice.
11亞蘭 王因這事心裏驚疑,召了臣僕來,對他們說:「我們這裏有誰幫助 以色列 王,你們不指給我嗎?」
11And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled for this thing. And calling together his servants, he said: Why do you not tell me who it is that betrays me to the king of Israel?
12有一個臣僕說:「我主,我王!無人幫助他,只有 以色列 中的先知 以利沙 ,將王在臥房所說的話告訴 以色列 王了。」
12And one of his servants said: No one, my lord O king: but Eliseus the prophet, that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel all the words, that thou speakest in thy privy chamber.
13王說:「你們去探他在哪裏,我好打發人去捉拿他。」有人告訴王說:「他在 多坍 。」
13And he said to them: Go, and see where he is: that I may send, and take him. And they told him, saying: Behold he is in Dothan.
14王就打發車馬和大軍往那裏去,夜間到了,圍困那城。
14Therefore he sent thither horses and chariots, and the strength of an army: and they came by night, and beset the city.
15神人的僕人清早起來出去,看見車馬軍兵圍困了城。僕人對神人說:「哀哉!我主啊,我們怎樣行才好呢?」
15And the servant of the man of God rising early, went out, and saw an army round about the city, and horses and chariots: and he told him, saying: Alas, alas, alas, my lord, what shall we do?
16神人說:「不要懼怕!與我們同在的比與他們同在的更多。」
16But he answered: Fear not: for there are more with us than with them.
17以利沙 禱告說:「耶和華啊,求你開這少年人的眼目,使他能看見。」耶和華開他的眼目,他就看見滿山有火車火馬圍繞 以利沙 。
17And Eliseus prayed, and said: Lord, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw: and behold the mountain was full of horses, and chariots of fire round about Eliseus.
18敵人下到 以利沙 那裏, 以利沙 禱告耶和華說:「求你使這些人的眼目昏迷。」耶和華就照 以利沙 的話,使他們的眼目昏迷。
18And the enemies came down to him, but Eliseus prayed to the Lord, saying: Strike, I beseech thee, this people with blindness. And the Lord struck them with blindness, according to the word of Eliseus.
19以利沙 對他們說:「這不是那道,也不是那城;你們跟我去,我必領你們到所尋找的人那裏。」於是領他們到了 撒馬利亞 。
19And Eliseus said to them: This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will shew you the man whom you seek. So he led them into Samaria.
20他們進了 撒馬利亞 , 以利沙 禱告 說:「耶和華啊,求你開這些人的眼目,使他們能看見。」耶和華開他們的眼目,他們就看見了,不料,是在 撒馬利亞 的城中。
20And when they were come into Samaria, Eliseus said: Lord, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.
21以色列 王見了他們,就問 以利沙 說:「我父啊,我可以擊殺他們嗎?」
21And the king of Israel said to Eliseus, when he saw them: My father, shall I kill them?
22回答說:「不可擊殺他們!就是你用刀用弓擄來的,豈可擊殺他們嗎?當在他們面前設擺飲食,使他們吃喝回到他們的主人那裏。」
22And he said: Thou shalt not kill them: for thou didst not take them with thy sword, or thy bow, that thou mayst kill them: but set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
23王就為他們預備了許多食物;他們吃喝完了,打發他們回到他們主人那裏。從此, 亞蘭 軍不再犯 以色列 境了。
23And a great provision of meats was set before them, and they ate and drank, and he let them go, and they went away to their master, and the robbers of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
24此後, 亞蘭 王 便‧哈達 聚集他的全軍,上來圍困 撒馬利亞 。
24And it came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25於是 撒馬利亞 被圍困,有饑荒,甚至一個驢頭值銀八十 舍客勒 ,二升鴿子糞值銀五 舍客勒 。
25And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon’s dung, for five pieces of silver.
26一日, 以色列 王在城上經過,有一個婦人向他呼叫說:「我主,我王啊!求你幫助。」
26And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord O king.
27王說:「耶和華不幫助你,我從何處幫助你?是從禾場,是從酒醡呢?」
27And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:
28王問婦人說:「你有甚麼苦處?」她回答說:「這婦人對我說:『將你的兒子取來,我們今日可以吃,明日可以吃我的兒子。』
28This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.
29我們就煮了我的兒子吃了。次日我對她說:『要將你的兒子取來,我們可以吃。』她卻將她的兒子藏起來了。」
29So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day: Give thy son that we may eat him. And she hath hid her son.
30王聽見婦人的話,就撕裂衣服;(王在城上經過)百姓看見王貼身穿着麻衣。
30When the king heard this, he rent his garments, and passed by upon the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth which he wore within next to his flesh.
31王說:「我今日若容 沙法 的兒子 以利沙 的頭仍在他項上,願上帝重重地降罰與我!」
31And the king said: May God do so and so to me, and may he add more, if the head of Eliseus the son of Saphat shall stand on him this day.
32那時, 以利沙 正坐在家中,長老也與他同坐。 王 打發一個伺候他的人去;他還沒有到, 以利沙 對長老說:「你們看這兇手之子,打發人來斬我的頭;你們看着使者來到,就關上門,用門將他推出去。在他後頭不是有他主人腳步的響聲嗎?」
32But Eliseus sat in his house, and the ancients sat with him. So he sent a man before: and before that messenger came, he said to the ancients: Do you know that this son of a murderer hath sent to cut off my head? Look then, when the messenger shall come, shut the door, and suffer him not to come in: for behold the sound of his master’s feet is behind him.
33正說話的時候,使者來到, 王也到了 ,說:「這災禍是從耶和華那裏來的,我何必再仰望耶和華呢?」
33While he was yet speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was coming to him. And he said: Behold, so great an evil is from the Lord: what shall I look for more from the Lord?
