2 Kings 6
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Simplified)
1And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha: 'Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.
1先知门徒对 以利沙 说：「看哪，我们同你所住的地方过于窄小，
2Let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell.' And he answered: 'Go ye.'
2求你容我们往 约旦河 去，各人从那里取一根木料建造房屋居住。」他说：「你们去吧！」
3And one said: 'Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants.' And he answered: 'I will go.'
3有一人说：「求你与仆人同去。」回答说：「我可以去。」
4So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
4于是 以利沙 与他们同去。到了 约旦河 ，就砍伐树木。
5But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said: 'Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.'
5有一人砍树的时候，斧头掉在水里，他就呼叫说：「哀哉！我主啊，这斧子是借的。」
6And the man of God said: 'Where fell it?' And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.
6神人问说：「掉在哪里了？」他将那地方指给 以利沙 看。 以利沙 砍了一根木头，抛在水里，斧头就漂上来了。
7And he said: 'Take it up to thee.' So he put out his hand, and took it.
7以利沙 说：「拿起来吧！」那人就伸手拿起来了。
8Now the king of Aram warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying: 'In such and such a place shall be my camp.'
8亚兰 王与 以色列 人争战，和他的臣仆商议说：「我要在某处某处安营。」
9And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying: 'Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Arameans are coming down.'
9神人打发人去见 以色列 王，说：「你要谨慎，不要从某处经过，因为 亚兰 人从那里下来了。」
10And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he guarded himself there, not once nor twice.
10以色列 王差人去 窥探 神人所告诉所警戒他去的地方，就防备未受其害，不止一两次。
11And the heart of the king of Aram was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them: 'Will ye not tell me which of us is for the king of Israel?'
11亚兰 王因这事心里惊疑，召了臣仆来，对他们说：「我们这里有谁帮助 以色列 王，你们不指给我吗？」
12And one of his servants said: 'Nay, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bed-chamber.'
12有一个臣仆说：「我主，我王！无人帮助他，只有 以色列 中的先知 以利沙 ，将王在卧房所说的话告诉 以色列 王了。」
13And he said: 'Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him.' And it was told him, saying: 'Behold, he is in Dothan.'
13王说：「你们去探他在哪里，我好打发人去捉拿他。」有人告诉王说：「他在 多坍 。」
14Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host; and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
14王就打发车马和大军往那里去，夜间到了，围困那城。
15And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said unto him: 'Alas, my master! how shall we do?'
15神人的仆人清早起来出去，看见车马军兵围困了城。仆人对神人说：「哀哉！我主啊，我们怎样行才好呢？」
16And he answered: 'Fear not: for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.'
16神人说：「不要惧怕！与我们同在的比与他们同在的更多。」
17And Elisha prayed, and said: 'LORD, I pray Thee, open his eyes, that he may see.' And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
17以利沙 祷告说：「耶和华啊，求你开这少年人的眼目，使他能看见。」耶和华开他的眼目，他就看见满山有火车火马围绕 以利沙 。
18And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said: 'Smite this people, I pray Thee, with blindness.' And He smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
18敌人下到 以利沙 那里， 以利沙 祷告耶和华说：「求你使这些人的眼目昏迷。」耶和华就照 以利沙 的话，使他们的眼目昏迷。
19And Elisha said unto them: 'This is not the way, neither is this the city; follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek.' And he led them to Samaria.
19以利沙 对他们说：「这不是那道，也不是那城；你们跟我去，我必领你们到所寻找的人那里。」于是领他们到了 撒马利亚 。
20And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said: 'LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see.' And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
20他们进了 撒马利亚 ， 以利沙 祷告 说：「耶和华啊，求你开这些人的眼目，使他们能看见。」耶和华开他们的眼目，他们就看见了，不料，是在 撒马利亚 的城中。
21And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them: 'My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?'
21以色列 王见了他们，就问 以利沙 说：「我父啊，我可以击杀他们吗？」
22And he answered: 'Thou shalt not smite them; hast thou taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow those whom thou wouldest smite? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.'
22回答说：「不可击杀他们！就是你用刀用弓掳来的，岂可击杀他们吗？当在他们面前设摆饮食，使他们吃喝回到他们的主人那里。」
23And he prepared great provision for them; and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Aram came no more into the land of Israel.
23王就为他们预备了许多食物；他们吃喝完了，打发他们回到他们主人那里。从此， 亚兰 军不再犯 以色列 境了。
24And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
24此后， 亚兰 王 便·哈达 聚集他的全军，上来围困 撒马利亚 。
25And there was a great famine in Samaria; and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
25于是 撒马利亚 被围困，有饥荒，甚至一个驴头值银八十 舍客勒 ，二升鸽子粪值银五 舍客勒 。
26And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying: 'Help, my lord, O king.'
26一日， 以色列 王在城上经过，有一个妇人向他呼叫说：「我主，我王啊！求你帮助。」
27And he said: 'If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshingfloor, or out of the winepress?'
27王说：「耶和华不帮助你，我从何处帮助你？是从禾场，是从酒榨呢？」
28And the king said unto her: 'What aileth thee?' And she answered: 'This woman said unto me: Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
28王问妇人说：「你有什么苦处？」她回答说：「这妇人对我说：『将你的儿子取来，我们今日可以吃，明日可以吃我的儿子。』
29So we boiled my son, and did eat him; and I said unto her on the next day: Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she hath hid her son.'
29我们就煮了我的儿子吃了。次日我对她说：『要将你的儿子取来，我们可以吃。』她却将她的儿子藏起来了。」
30And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes — now he was passing by upon the wall — and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
30王听见妇人的话，就撕裂衣服；（王在城上经过）百姓看见王贴身穿着麻衣。
31Then he said: 'God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.'
31王说：「我今日若容 沙法 的儿子 以利沙 的头仍在他项上，愿 神重重地降罚与我！」
32But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him; but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders: 'See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold the door fast against him; is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?'
32那时， 以利沙 正坐在家中，长老也与他同坐。 王 打发一个伺候他的人去；他还没有到， 以利沙 对长老说：「你们看这凶手之子，打发人来斩我的头；你们看着使者来到，就关上门，用门将他推出去。在他后头不是有他主人脚步的响声吗？」
33And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him; and the king said: 'Behold, this evil is of the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longer?'
33正说话的时候，使者来到， 王也到了 ，说：「这灾祸是从耶和华那里来的，我何必再仰望耶和华呢？」
