2 Kings 3
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
1犹大 王 约沙法 十八年， 亚哈 的儿子 约兰 在 撒马利亚 登基作了 以色列 王十二年。
2And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
2他行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，但不至像他父母所行的，因为除掉他父所造 巴力 的柱像。
3Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
3然而，他贴近 尼八 的儿子 耶罗波安 使 以色列 人陷在罪里的那罪，总不离开。
4Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered unto the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.
4摩押 王 米沙 牧养许多羊， 每年 将十万羊羔的毛和十万公绵羊的毛给 以色列 王进贡。
5But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
5亚哈 死后， 摩押 王背叛 以色列 王。
6And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
6那时 约兰 王出 撒马利亚 ，数点 以色列 众人。
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, my horses as thy horses.'
7前行的时候，差人去见 犹大 王 约沙法 ，说：「 摩押 王背叛我，你肯同我去攻打 摩押 吗？」他说：「我肯上去，你我不分彼此，我的民与你的民一样，我的马与你的马一样。」
8And he said: 'Which way shall we go up?' And he answered: 'The way of the wilderness of Edom.'
8约兰 说：「我们从哪条路上去呢？」回答说：「从 以东 旷野的路上去。」
9So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey; and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.
9于是， 以色列 王和 犹大 王，并 以东 王，都一同去绕行七日的路程；军队和所带的牲畜没有水喝。
10And the king of Israel said: 'Alas! for the LORD hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.'
10以色列 王说：「哀哉！耶和华招聚我们这三王，乃要交在 摩押 人的手里。」
11But Jehoshaphat said: 'Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?' And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said: 'Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.'
11约沙法 说：「这里不是有耶和华的先知吗？我们可以托他求问耶和华。」 以色列 王的一个臣子回答说：「这里有 沙法 的儿子 以利沙 ，就是从前服事 以利亚 的。」
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.
12约沙法 说：「他必有耶和华的话。」于是 以色列 王和 约沙法 ，并 以东 王都下去见他。
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.'
13以利沙 对 以色列 王说：「我与你何干？去问你父亲的先知和你母亲的先知吧！」 以色列 王对他说：「不要这样说，耶和华招聚我们这三王，乃要交在 摩押 人的手里。」
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.
14以利沙 说：「我指着所事奉永生的万军耶和华起誓，我若不看 犹大 王 约沙法 的情面，必不理你，不顾你。
15But now bring me a minstrel.' And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
15现在你们给我找一个弹琴的来。」弹琴的时候，耶和华的灵就降在 以利沙 身上。
16And he said: 'Thus saith the LORD: Make this valley full of trenches.
16他便说：「耶和华如此说：『你们要在这谷中满处挖沟；
17For thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain, yet that valley shall be filled with water; and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.
17因为耶和华如此说：你们虽不见风，不见雨，这谷必满了水，使你们和牲畜有水喝。』
18And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
18在耶和华眼中这还算为小事，他也必将 摩押 人交在你们手中。
19And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.'
19你们必攻破一切坚城美邑，砍伐各种佳树，塞住一切水泉，用石头糟踏一切美田。」
20And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of making the offering, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
20次日早晨，约在献祭的时候，有水从 以东 而来，遍地就满了水。
21Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood on the border.
21摩押 众人听见这三王上来要与他们争战，凡能顶盔贯甲的，无论老少，尽都聚集站在边界上。
22And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water some way off as red as blood;
22次日早晨，日光照在水上， 摩押 人起来，看见对面水红如血，
23and they said: 'This is blood: the kings have surely fought together, and they have smitten each man his fellow; now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.'
23就说：「这是血啊！必是三王互相击杀，俱都灭亡。 摩押 人哪，我们现在去抢夺财物吧！」
24And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them. And they smote the land, even Moab, mightily.
24摩押 人到了 以色列 营， 以色列 人就起来攻打他们，以致他们在 以色列 人面前逃跑。 以色列 人往前追杀 摩押 人，直杀入 摩押 的境内，
25And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees; until there was left only Kir-hareseth with the stones of the wall thereof; so the slingers encompassed it, and smote it.
25拆毁 摩押 的城邑，各人抛石填满一切美田，塞住一切水泉，砍伐各种佳树，只剩下 吉珥·哈列设 的石 墙 ；甩石的兵在四围攻打那城。
26And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not.
26摩押 王见阵势甚大，难以对敌，就率领七百拿刀的兵，要冲过阵去到 以东 王那里，却是不能；
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 came great wrath upon Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
27便将那应当接续他作王的长子，在城上献为燔祭。 以色列 人遭遇 耶和华的 大怒，于是三王离开 摩押 王，各回本国去了。
