Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Ben Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, with horses and chariots. He went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
1亞蘭 王 便‧哈達 聚集他的全軍，率領三十二個王，帶着車馬上來圍攻 撒馬利亞 ；
2He sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, “Ben Hadad says,
2又差遣使者進城見 以色列 王 亞哈 ，對他說：「 便‧哈達 如此說：
3‘Your silver and your gold are mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.’”
3你的金銀都要歸我，你妻子兒女中最美的也要歸我。」
4The king of Israel answered, “It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have.”
4以色列 王回答說：「我主我王啊，可以依着你的話，我與我所有的都歸你。」
5The messengers came again and said, “Ben Hadad says, ‘I sent indeed to you, saying, “You shall deliver me your silver, your gold, your wives, and your children;
5使者又來說：「 便‧哈達 如此說：我已差遣人去見你，要你將你的金銀、妻子、兒女都給我。
6but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants. Whatever is pleasant in your eyes, they will put it in their hand, and take it away.”’”
6但明日約在這時候，我還要差遣臣僕到你那裏，搜查你的家和你僕人的家，將你眼中一切所喜愛的都拿了去。」
7Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, “Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I didn’t deny him.”
7以色列 王召了國中的長老來，對他們說：「請你們看看，這人是怎樣地謀害 我 ，他先差遣人到我這裏來，要我的妻子、兒女，和金銀，我並沒有推辭他。」
8All the elders and all the people said to him, “Don’t listen, and don’t consent.”
8長老和百姓對王說：「不要聽從他，也不要應允他。」
9Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, “Tell my lord the king, ‘All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.’” The messengers departed and brought him back the message.
9故此， 以色列 王對 便‧哈達 的使者說：「你們告訴我主我王說：王頭一次差遣人向僕人所要的，僕人都依從；但這次所要的，我不能依從。」使者就去回覆 便‧哈達 。
10Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me.”
10便‧哈達 又差遣人去見 亞哈 說：「 撒馬利亞 的塵土若夠跟從我的人每人捧一捧的，願神明重重地降罰與我！」
11The king of Israel answered, “Tell him, ‘Don’t let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.’”
11以色列 王說：「你告訴他說，才頂 盔 貫 甲 的，休要像摘 盔 卸 甲 的誇口。」
12When Ben Hadad heard this message as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, he said to his servants, “Prepare to attack!” So they prepared to attack the city.
12便‧哈達 和諸王正在帳幕裏喝酒，聽見這話，就對他臣僕說：「擺隊吧！」他們就擺隊攻城。
13Behold, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Have you seen all this great multitude? Behold, I will deliver it into your hand today. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’”
13有一個先知來見 以色列 王 亞哈 ，說：「耶和華如此說：『這一大群人你看見了嗎？今日我必將他們交在你手裏，你就知道我是耶和華。』」
14Ahab said, “By whom?” He said, “The LORD says, ‘By the young men of the princes of the provinces.’” Then he said, “Who shall begin the battle?” He answered, “You.”
14亞哈 說：「藉着誰呢？」他回答說：「耶和華說，藉着跟從省長的少年人。」 亞哈 說：「要誰率領呢？」他說：「要你親自率領。」
15Then he mustered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
15於是 亞哈 數點跟從省長的少年人，共有二百三十二名，後又數點 以色列 的眾兵，共有七千名。
16They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
16午間，他們就出城； 便‧哈達 和幫助他的三十二個王正在帳幕裏痛飲。
17The young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, “Men are coming out from Samaria.”
17跟從省長的少年人先出城； 便‧哈達 差遣人去 探望 ，他們回報說：「有人從 撒馬利亞 出來了。」
18He said, “If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive.”
18他說：「他們若為講和出來，要活捉他們；若為打仗出來，也要活捉他們。」
19So these went out of the city, the young men of the princes of the provinces, and the army which followed them.
19跟從省長的少年人出城，軍兵跟隨他們；
20They each killed his man. The Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with horsemen.
20各人遇見敵人就殺。 亞蘭 人逃跑， 以色列 人追趕他們； 亞蘭 王 便‧哈達 騎着馬和馬兵一同逃跑。
21The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Syrians with a great slaughter.
21以色列 王出城攻打車馬，大大擊殺 亞蘭 人。
22The prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, “Go, strengthen yourself, and plan what you must do, for at the return of the year, the king of Syria will come up against you.”
22那先知來見 以色列 王，對他說：「你當自強，留心怎樣防備；因為到明年這時候， 亞蘭 王必上來攻擊你。」
23The servants of the king of Syria said to him, “Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let’s fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they.
23亞蘭 王的臣僕對 亞蘭 王說：「 以色列 人的神是山神，所以他們勝過我們；但在平原與他們打仗，我們必定得勝。
24Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
24王當這樣行：把諸王革去，派軍長代替他們，
25Muster an army like the army that you have lost, horse for horse and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than they are.” He listened to their voice and did so.
25又照着王喪失軍兵之數，再招募一軍，馬補馬，車補車，我們在平原與他們打仗，必定得勝。」王便聽臣僕的話去行。
26At the return of the year, Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.
26次年， 便‧哈達 果然點齊 亞蘭 人上 亞弗 去，要與 以色列 人打仗。
27The children of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and went against them. The children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of young goats, but the Syrians filled the country.
27以色列 人也點齊軍兵，預備食物，迎着 亞蘭 人出去，對着他們安營，好像兩小群山羊羔； 亞蘭 人卻滿了地面。
28A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, “The LORD says, ‘Because the Syrians have said, “The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys,” therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.’”
28有神人來見 以色列 王，說：「耶和華如此說：『 亞蘭 人既說我－耶和華是山神，不是平原的神，所以我必將這一大群人都交在你手中，你們就知道我是耶和華。』」
29They encamped opposite each other for seven days. Then on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day.
29以色列 人與 亞蘭 人相對安營七日，到第七日兩軍交戰；那一日 以色列 人殺了 亞蘭 人步兵十萬，
30But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room.
30其餘的逃入 亞弗 城；城牆塌倒，壓死剩下的二萬七千人。 便‧哈達 也逃入城，藏在嚴密的屋子裏。
31His servants said to him, “See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life.”
31他的臣僕對他說：「我們聽說 以色列 王都是仁慈的王，現在我們不如腰束麻布，頭套繩索，出去投降 以色列 王，或者他存留王的性命。」
32So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, “Your servant Ben Hadad says, ‘Please let me live.’” He said, “Is he still alive? He is my brother.”
32於是他們腰束麻布，頭套繩索，去見 以色列 王，說：「王的僕人 便‧哈達 說，求王存留我的性命。」 亞哈 說：「他還活着嗎？他是我的兄弟。」
33Now the men observed diligently and hurried to take this phrase; and they said, “Your brother Ben Hadad.” Then he said, “Go, bring him.” Then Ben Hadad came out to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
33這些人留心探出他的口氣來，便急忙就着他的話說：「 便‧哈達 是王的兄弟！」王說：「你們去請他來。」 便‧哈達 出來見王，王就請他上車。
34Ben Hadad said to him, “The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria.” “I”, said Ahab, “will let you go with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him and let him go.
34便‧哈達 對王說：「我父從你父那裏所奪的城邑，我必歸還。你可以在 大馬士革 立街市，像我父在 撒馬利亞 所立的一樣。」 亞哈 說：「我照此立約，放你回去」，就與他立約，放他去了。
35A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the LORD’s word, “Please strike me!” The man refused to strike him.
35有先知的一個門徒奉耶和華的命對他的同伴說：「你打我吧！」那人不肯打他。
36Then he said to him, “Because you have not obeyed the LORD’s voice, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you.” As soon as he had departed from him, a lion found him and killed him.
36他就對那人說：「你既不聽從耶和華的話，你一離開我，必有獅子咬死你。」那人一離開他，果然遇見獅子，把他咬死了。
37Then he found another man, and said, “Please strike me.” The man struck him and wounded him.
37先知的門徒又遇見一個人，對他說：「你打我吧！」那人就打他，將他打傷。
38So the prophet departed and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
38他就去了，用頭巾蒙眼，改換面目，在路旁等候王。
39As the king passed by, he cried to the king, and he said, “Your servant went out into the middle of the battle; and behold, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, ‘Guard this man! If by any means he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.’
39王從那裏經過，他向王呼叫說：「僕人在陣上的時候，有人帶了一個人來，對我說：『你看守這人，若把他失了，你的性命必代替他的性命；不然，你必交出一他連得銀子來。』
40As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone.” The king of Israel said to him, “So shall your judgment be. You yourself have decided it.”
40僕人正在忙亂之間，那人就不見了。」 以色列 王對他說：「你自己定妥了，必照樣判斷你。」
41He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was one of the prophets.
41他急忙除掉蒙眼的頭巾， 以色列 王就認出他是一個先知。
42He said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life will take the place of his life, and your people take the place of his people.’”
42他對王說：「耶和華如此說：『因你將我定要滅絕的人放去，你的命就必代替他的命，你的民也必代替他的民。』」
43The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
43於是 以色列 王悶悶不樂地回到 撒馬利亞 ，進了他的宮。
