列王紀下 7
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1以利沙 說：「你們要聽耶和華的話，耶和華如此說：明日約到這時候，在 撒馬利亞 城門口，一細亞細麵要 賣 銀一舍客勒，二細亞大麥也要 賣 銀一舍客勒。」
1And Eliseus said: Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus saith the Lord: Tomorrow about this time a bushel of fine hour shall be sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, in the gate of Samaria.
2有一個攙扶王的軍長對神人說：「即便耶和華使天開了窗戶，也不能有這事。」 以利沙 說：「你必親眼看見，卻不得吃。」
2Then one of the lords, upon whose hand the king leaned, answering the man of God, said: If the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, can that possibly be which thou sayest? And he said: Thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
3在城門那裏有四個長大痲瘋的人，他們彼此說：「我們為何坐在這裏等死呢？
3Now there were four lepers, at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another: What mean we to stay here till we die?
4我們若說，進城去吧！城裏有饑荒，必死在那裏；若在這裏坐着不動，也必是死。來吧，我們去投降 亞蘭 人的軍隊，他們若留我們的活命，就活着；若殺我們，就死了吧！」
4If we will enter into the city, we shall die with the famine: and if we will remain here, we must also die: come, therefore, and let us run over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we shall live: but if they kill us, we shall but die.
5黃昏的時候，他們起來往 亞蘭 人的營盤去；到了營邊，不見一人在那裏。
5So they arose in the evening, to go to the Syrian camp, And when they were come to the first part of the camp of the Syrians, they found no man there.
6因為主使 亞蘭 人的軍隊聽見車馬的聲音，是大軍的聲音；他們就彼此說：「這必是 以色列 王賄買 赫 人的諸王和 埃及 人的諸王來攻擊我們。」
6For the Lord had made them hear, in the camp of Syria, the noise of chariots, and of horses, and of a very great army, and they said one to another: Behold the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hethites, and of the Egyptians, and they are come upon us.
7所以，在黃昏的時候他們起來逃跑，撇下帳棚、馬、驢，營盤照舊，只顧逃命。
7Wherefore they arose, and fled away in the dark, and left their tents, and their horses and asses in the camp, and fled, desiring to save their lives.
8那些長大痲瘋的到了營邊，進了帳棚，吃了喝了，且從其中拿出金銀和衣服來，去收藏了；回來又進了一座帳棚，從其中拿出財物來去收藏了。
8So when these lepers were come to the beginning of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank: and they took from thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went, and hid it: and they came again, and went into another tent, and carried from thence in like manner, and hid it.
9那時，他們彼此說：「我們所做的不好！今日是有好信息的日子，我們竟不作聲！若等到天亮，罪必臨到我們。來吧，我們與王家報信去！」
9Then they said one to another: We do not well: for this is a day of good tidings. If we hold our peace, and do not tell it till the morning, we shall be charged with a crime: come, let us go and tell it in the king’s court.
10他們就去叫守城門的，告訴他們說：「我們到了 亞蘭 人的營，不見一人在那裏，也無人聲，只有拴着的馬和驢，帳棚都照舊。」
10So they came to the gate of the city, and told them, saying: We went to the camp of the Syrians, and we found no man there, but horses, and asses tied, and the tents standing.
11守城門的叫了眾守門的人來，他們就進去與王家報信。
11Then the guards of the gate went, and told it within the king’s palace.
12王夜間起來，對臣僕說：「我告訴你們 亞蘭 人向我們如何行。他們知道我們飢餓，所以離營，埋伏在田野，說：『 以色列 人出城的時候，我們就活捉他們，得以進城。』」
12And he arose in the night and said to his servants: I tell you what the Syrians have done to us: They know that we suffer great famine, and therefore they are gone out of the camp, and lie hid in the fields, saying: When they come out of the city we shall take them alive, and then we may get into the city.
13有一個臣僕對王說：「我們不如用城裏剩下之馬中的五匹馬（馬和城裏剩下的 以色列 人都是一樣，快要滅絕），打發人去窺探。」
13And one of his servants answered: Let us take the five horses that are remaining in the city (because there are no more in the whole multitude of Israel, for the rest are consumed,) and let us send and see.
14於是取了兩輛車和馬，王差人去追尋 亞蘭 軍，說：「你們去窺探窺探。」
14They brought therefore two horses, and the king sent into the camp of the Syrians, saying: Go, and see.
15他們就追尋到 約旦河 ，看見滿道上都是 亞蘭 人急跑時丟棄的衣服器具，使者就回來報告王。
15And they went after them as far as the Jordan: and behold all the way was full of garments, and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their fright, and the messengers returned and told the king.
16眾人就出去，擄掠 亞蘭 人的營盤。於是一細亞細麵 賣 銀一舍客勒，二細亞大麥也 賣 銀一舍客勒，正如耶和華所說的。
16And the people going out pillaged the camp of the Syrians: and a bushel of fine flour was sold for a stater, and two bushels of barley for a stater, according to the word of the Lord.
17王派攙扶他的那軍長在城門口彈壓，眾人在那裏將他踐踏，他就死了，正如神人在王下來見他的時候所說的。
17And the king appointed that lord on whose hand he leaned, to stand at the gate: and the people trod upon him in the entrance of the gate; and he died, as the man of God had said, when the king came down to him.
18神人曾對王說：「明日約到這時候，在 撒馬利亞 城門口，二細亞大麥要 賣 銀一舍客勒，一細亞細麵也要 賣 銀一舍客勒。」
18And it came to pass according to the word of the man of God, which he spoke to the king, when he said: Two bushels of barley shall be for a stater, and a bushel of fine flour for a stater, at this very time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria.
19那軍長對神人說：「即便耶和華使天開了窗戶，也不能有這事。」神人說：「你必親眼看見，卻不得吃。」
19When that lord answered the man of God, and said: Although the Lord should make flood-gates in heaven, could this come to pass which thou sayest? And he said to him: Thou shalt see with thy eyes, and shalt not eat thereof.
20這話果然應驗在他身上；因為眾人在城門口將他踐踏，他就死了。
20And so it fell out to him as it was foretold, and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.
