Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us.
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，
2Please let us go to the Jordan, and each man take a beam from there, and let’s make us a place there, where we may live.” He answered, “Go!”
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！」
3One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”
3有一人說：「求你與僕人同去。」回答說：「我可以去。」
4So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
4於是 以利沙 與他們同去。到了 約旦河 ，就砍伐樹木。
5But as one was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.”
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。」
6The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
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。
7He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
7以利沙 說：「拿起來吧！」那人就伸手拿起來了。
8Now the king of Syria was at war against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
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。」
9The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.”
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。」
10The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once or twice.
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。
11The king of Syria’s heart was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Won’t you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?”
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？」
12One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
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。」
13He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” He was told, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
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 。」
14Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city.
14王就打發車馬和大軍往那裏去，夜間到了，圍困那城。
15When the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
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？」
16He answered, “Don’t be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
16神人說：「不要懼怕！與我們同在的比與他們同在的更多。」
17Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, please open his eyes, that he may see.” the LORD opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
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 。
18When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” He struck them with blindness according to Elisha’s word.
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。
19Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He led them to Samaria.
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 。
20When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “LORD, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.” The LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the middle of 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。
21The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”
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？」
22He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, then go to their master.”
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。」
23He prepared a great feast for them. After they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.
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。
24After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
24此後， 亞蘭 王 便‧哈達 聚集他的全軍，上來圍困 撒馬利亞 。
25There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
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 。
26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”
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。」
27He said, “If the LORD doesn’t help you, where could I get help for you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”
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？」
28Then the king asked her, “What is your problem?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
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。』
29So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden her son.”
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。」
30When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his body.
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。
31Then he said, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat stays on him today.”
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！」
32But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn’t the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”
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？」
33While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
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？」
