列王紀下 9
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
以利沙遣徒詣耶戶
9 先知以利沙叫了一個先知門徒來,吩咐他說:「你束上腰,手拿這瓶膏油往基列的拉末去。 2 到了那裡,要尋找寧示的孫子、約沙法的兒子耶戶,使他從同僚中起來,帶他進嚴密的屋子, 3 將瓶裡的膏油倒在他頭上,說:『耶和華如此說:我膏你做以色列王。』說完了,就開門逃跑,不要遲延。」 4 於是那少年先知往基列的拉末去了。
耶戶為以色列王
5 到了那裡,看見眾軍長都坐著,就說:「將軍哪,我有話對你說。」耶戶說:「我們眾人裡,你要對哪一個說呢?」回答說:「將軍哪,我要對你說。」 6 耶戶就起來,進了屋子。少年人將膏油倒在他頭上,對他說:「耶和華以色列的神如此說:我膏你做耶和華民以色列的王。 7 你要擊殺你主人亞哈的全家,我好在耶洗別身上申我僕人眾先知和耶和華一切僕人流血的冤。 8 亞哈全家必都滅亡,凡屬亞哈的男丁,無論是困住的、自由的,我必從以色列中剪除, 9 使亞哈的家像尼八兒子耶羅波安的家,又像亞希雅兒子巴沙的家。 10 耶洗別必在耶斯列田裡被狗所吃,無人葬埋。」說完了,少年人就開門逃跑了。
11 耶戶出來,回到他主人的臣僕那裡。有一人問他說:「平安嗎?這狂妄的人來見你有什麼事呢?」回答說:「你們認得那人,也知道他說什麼。」 12 他們說:「這是假話,你據實地告訴我們。」回答說:「他如此如此對我說,他說:『耶和華如此說:我膏你做以色列王。』」 13 他們就急忙各將自己的衣服鋪在上層臺階,使耶戶坐在其上。他們吹角,說:「耶戶做王了!」
14 這樣,寧示的孫子、約沙法的兒子耶戶背叛約蘭。先是約蘭和以色列眾人因為亞蘭王哈薛的緣故,把守基列的拉末, 15 但約蘭王回到耶斯列,醫治與亞蘭王哈薛打仗所受的傷。耶戶說:「若合你們的意思,就不容人逃出城往耶斯列報信去。」 16 於是耶戶坐車往耶斯列去,因為約蘭病臥在那裡;猶大王亞哈謝已經下去望看他。
17 有一個守望的人站在耶斯列的樓上,看見耶戶帶著一群人來,就說:「我看見一群人。」約蘭說:「打發一個騎馬的去迎接他們,問說:『平安不平安?』」 18 騎馬的就去迎接耶戶,說:「王問說:『平安不平安?』」耶戶說:「平安不平安與你何干?你轉在我後頭吧!」守望的人又說:「使者到了他們那裡,卻不回來。」 19 王又打發一個騎馬的去。這人到了他們那裡,說:「王問說:『平安不平安?』」耶戶說:「平安不平安與你何干?你轉在我後頭吧!」 20 守望的人又說:「他到了他們那裡,也不回來。車趕得甚猛,像寧示的孫子耶戶的趕法。」
射殺約蘭
21 約蘭吩咐說:「套車!」人就給他套車。以色列王約蘭和猶大王亞哈謝各坐自己的車出去迎接耶戶,在耶斯列人拿伯的田那裡遇見他。 22 約蘭見耶戶就說:「耶戶啊,平安嗎?」耶戶說:「你母親耶洗別的淫行邪術這樣多,焉能平安呢?」 23 約蘭就轉車逃跑,對亞哈謝說:「亞哈謝啊,反了!」 24 耶戶開滿了弓,射中約蘭的脊背,箭從心窩穿出,約蘭就仆倒在車上。 25 耶戶對他的軍長畢甲說:「你把他拋在耶斯列人拿伯的田間!你當追想,你我一同坐車跟隨他父亞哈的時候,耶和華對亞哈所說的預言, 26 說:『我昨日看見拿伯的血和他眾子的血,我必在這塊田上報應你。』這是耶和華說的。現在你要照著耶和華的話,把他拋在這田間。」
擊殺亞哈謝
27 猶大王亞哈謝見這光景,就從園亭之路逃跑。耶戶追趕他,說:「把這人也殺在車上!」到了靠近以伯蓮姑珥的坡上,擊傷了他。他逃到米吉多,就死在那裡。 28 他的臣僕用車將他的屍首送到耶路撒冷,葬在大衛城他自己的墳墓裡,與他列祖同葬。
29 亞哈謝登基做猶大王的時候,是在亞哈的兒子約蘭第十一年。
擲殺耶洗別
30 耶戶到了耶斯列,耶洗別聽見就擦粉,梳頭,從窗戶裡往外觀看。 31 耶戶進門的時候,耶洗別說:「殺主人的心利啊,平安嗎?」 32 耶戶抬頭向窗戶觀看,說:「誰順從我?」有兩三個太監從窗戶往外看他。 33 耶戶說:「把她扔下來!」他們就把她扔下來。她的血濺在牆上和馬上,於是把她踐踏了。 34 耶戶進去,吃了喝了,吩咐說:「你們把這被咒詛的婦人葬埋了,因為她是王的女兒。」 35 他們就去葬埋她,只尋得她的頭骨和腳並手掌。 36 他們回去告訴耶戶,耶戶說:「這正應驗耶和華藉他僕人提斯比人以利亞所說的話,說:『在耶斯列田間,狗必吃耶洗別的肉。 37 耶洗別的屍首必在耶斯列田間如同糞土,甚至人不能說這是耶洗別。』」

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶户被立为以色列王
9 以利沙先知叫来一个先知,吩咐他:“你要束上腰带,拿着这瓶膏油去基列的拉末。 2 到了以后,你去找宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户,带他离开同僚,进入密室, 3 把这瓶膏油倒在他头上,告诉他,‘耶和华说,我膏立你为以色列王。’然后,你要马上开门逃走,不可迟延。”
4 于是,那位年轻的先知启程前往基列的拉末。 5 到了那里,他看见众将领正坐在一起,便说:“将军,我有话对你说。”耶户说:“你想对我们哪一个说话?”他说:“将军啊,我有话对你说。” 6 耶户便站起来,随他进入屋里。他将膏油倒在耶户头上,说:“以色列的上帝耶和华说,‘我膏立你做我以色列子民的王。 7 你要杀你主人亚哈的全家,这样我就可以为我的仆人——众先知以及其他仆人报仇,他们被耶洗别杀害。 8 亚哈全家必灭亡,我要从以色列铲除他家中所有的男子——不论奴隶还是自由人, 9 使他家像尼八的儿子耶罗波安家和亚希雅的儿子巴沙家一样。 10 耶洗别的尸体必在耶斯列的田间被狗吃,无人埋葬。’”说完这话,那位年轻的先知便开门逃跑了。
11 耶户出来回到同僚那里,一个人问他:“没事吧?那疯子为什么来找你?”耶户答道:“你们认得他,也知道他会说什么。” 12 他们说:“我们不知道,你告诉我们吧!”耶户说:“他告诉我,耶和华说膏立我做以色列王。” 13 他们连忙将自己的衣服铺在耶户脚下的台阶上,吹响号角,高喊:“耶户做王了!”
以色列王约兰被杀
14 宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户背叛了约兰。当时,约兰率领全体以色列人在基列的拉末防御亚兰王哈薛, 15 他与哈薛交战受伤后,回到耶斯列养伤。耶户对属下说:“如果你们要我做王,就不要让任何人逃出城去耶斯列报信。” 16 于是,耶户驾车去了耶斯列,因为约兰在耶斯列养伤,犹大王亚哈谢也在那里探望他。
17 耶斯列城楼上的哨兵看见耶户的人马朝耶斯列奔来,就报信说:“我见到一队人马!”约兰下令:“派一个骑兵去看看他们是否为平安而来。” 18 骑兵出去迎接耶户,对他说:“王问你是否为平安而来。”耶户说:“这与你何干?你跟在我后面。”哨兵禀告说:“骑兵到了那里,却没有回来。” 19 王又派一个骑兵到耶户那里,对他说:“王问你是否为平安而来。”耶户说:“这与你何干?你跟在我后面。” 20 哨兵又禀告说:“他到了那里,也没有回来。那人驾车很猛,一定是宁示的孙子耶户。”
21 约兰下令备车。以色列王约兰和犹大王亚哈谢各乘自己的战车去见耶户。他们和耶户在耶斯列人拿伯的田里相遇。 22 约兰问他:“耶户,你为平安而来吗?”耶户答道:“国中到处都是你母亲耶洗别的偶像和邪术,怎能平安呢?” 23 约兰调转车头逃跑,向亚哈谢大喊:“亚哈谢,他反了!” 24 耶户张弓搭箭,射中约兰的后背,箭穿透他的心脏,他倒毙在车上。 25 耶户对将领毕甲说:“你去把他丢在耶斯列人拿伯的田里。还记得吗?你我一起驾车跟随他父亲亚哈的时候,耶和华曾预言亚哈的事说, 26 ‘我昨天看见拿伯和他儿子们被杀,我必使你在这块田里受到报应,这是耶和华说的。’现在你照耶和华的话,把他丢在这块田里吧。”
27 犹大王亚哈谢见状,就沿着通往伯哈干的道路逃跑。耶户在后面追,并大喊:“射死他!”他们在以伯莲附近的姑珥坡射伤了亚哈谢。他逃到米吉多后,伤重身亡。 28 他的臣仆用车把他的尸体运回耶路撒冷,安葬在大卫城他的祖坟里。
29 在以色列王亚哈的儿子约兰执政第十一年,亚哈谢登基做犹大王。
耶洗别被杀
30 耶户去了耶斯列。耶洗别闻讯,便梳头描眉,向窗外眺望。 31 耶户进城时,耶洗别高声喊道:“谋杀主人的心利啊,平安吗?” 32 耶户抬头望着窗口,喊道:“谁拥护我?谁?”有两三个太监从窗口往外看他。 33 耶户说:“把她扔下来!”那几个太监便把耶洗别扔下去,血溅在墙壁上和马匹身上。耶户驾车轧过她的身体, 34 进入王宫,大吃大喝,然后吩咐部下说:“把那受咒诅的妇人埋了,她毕竟是王的女儿。” 35 他们出去埋葬她,却只找到她的头骨、手掌和脚, 36 便回去禀告耶户。耶户说:“这正应验耶和华借祂仆人提斯比人以利亚说的话,‘狗必在耶斯列的田间吃耶洗别的肉, 37 耶洗别的尸体必像耶斯列田间的粪便,无人能认出那是耶洗别。’”
2 Kings 9
New International Version
Jehu Anointed King of Israel
9 The prophet Elisha summoned a man from the company(A) of the prophets and said to him, “Tuck your cloak into your belt,(B) take this flask of olive oil(C) with you and go to Ramoth Gilead.(D) 2 When you get there, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go to him, get him away from his companions and take him into an inner room. 3 Then take the flask and pour the oil(E) on his head and declare, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run; don’t delay!”
4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth Gilead. 5 When he arrived, he found the army officers sitting together. “I have a message for you, commander,” he said.
“For which of us?” asked Jehu.
“For you, commander,” he replied.
6 Jehu got up and went into the house. Then the prophet poured the oil(F) on Jehu’s head and declared, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the Lord’s people Israel. 7 You are to destroy the house of Ahab your master, and I will avenge(G) the blood of my servants(H) the prophets and the blood of all the Lord’s servants shed by Jezebel.(I) 8 The whole house(J) of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab every last male(K) in Israel—slave or free.[a] 9 I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam(L) son of Nebat and like the house of Baasha(M) son of Ahijah. 10 As for Jezebel, dogs(N) will devour her on the plot of ground at Jezreel, and no one will bury her.’” Then he opened the door and ran.
11 When Jehu went out to his fellow officers, one of them asked him, “Is everything all right? Why did this maniac(O) come to you?”
“You know the man and the sort of things he says,” Jehu replied.
12 “That’s not true!” they said. “Tell us.”
Jehu said, “Here is what he told me: ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
13 They quickly took their cloaks and spread(P) them under him on the bare steps. Then they blew the trumpet(Q) and shouted, “Jehu is king!”
Jehu Kills Joram and Ahaziah(R)
14 So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth Gilead(S) against Hazael king of Aram, 15 but King Joram[b] had returned to Jezreel to recover(T) from the wounds the Arameans had inflicted on him in the battle with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, “If you desire to make me king, don’t let anyone slip out of the city to go and tell the news in Jezreel.” 16 Then he got into his chariot and rode to Jezreel, because Joram was resting there and Ahaziah(U) king of Judah had gone down to see him.
17 When the lookout(V) standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, he called out, “I see some troops coming.”
“Get a horseman,” Joram ordered. “Send him to meet them and ask, ‘Do you come in peace?(W)’”
18 The horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’”
“What do you have to do with peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”
The lookout reported, “The messenger has reached them, but he isn’t coming back.”
19 So the king sent out a second horseman. When he came to them he said, “This is what the king says: ‘Do you come in peace?’”
Jehu replied, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me.”
20 The lookout reported, “He has reached them, but he isn’t coming back either. The driving is like(X) that of Jehu son of Nimshi—he drives like a maniac.”
21 “Hitch up my chariot,” Joram ordered. And when it was hitched up, Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah rode out, each in his own chariot, to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of ground that had belonged to Naboth(Y) the Jezreelite. 22 When Joram saw Jehu he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?”
“How can there be peace,” Jehu replied, “as long as all the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel(Z) abound?”
23 Joram turned about and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery,(AA) Ahaziah!”
24 Then Jehu drew his bow(AB) and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart and he slumped down in his chariot. 25 Jehu said to Bidkar, his chariot officer, “Pick him up and throw him on the field that belonged to Naboth the Jezreelite. Remember how you and I were riding together in chariots behind Ahab his father when the Lord spoke this prophecy(AC) against him: 26 ‘Yesterday I saw the blood of Naboth(AD) and the blood of his sons, declares the Lord, and I will surely make you pay for it on this plot of ground, declares the Lord.’[c] Now then, pick him up and throw him on that plot, in accordance with the word of the Lord.”(AE)
27 When Ahaziah king of Judah saw what had happened, he fled up the road to Beth Haggan.[d] Jehu chased him, shouting, “Kill him too!” They wounded him in his chariot on the way up to Gur near Ibleam,(AF) but he escaped to Megiddo(AG) and died there. 28 His servants took him by chariot(AH) to Jerusalem and buried him with his ancestors in his tomb in the City of David. 29 (In the eleventh(AI) year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king of Judah.)
Jezebel Killed
30 Then Jehu went to Jezreel. When Jezebel heard about it, she put on eye makeup,(AJ) arranged her hair and looked out of a window. 31 As Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, you Zimri,(AK) you murderer of your master?”[e]
32 He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked down at him. 33 “Throw her down!” Jehu said. So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered the wall and the horses as they trampled her underfoot.(AL)
34 Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of that cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.”(AM) 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing except her skull, her feet and her hands. 36 They went back and told Jehu, who said, “This is the word of the Lord that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs(AN) will devour Jezebel’s flesh.[f](AO) 37 Jezebel’s body will be like dung(AP) on the ground in the plot at Jezreel, so that no one will be able to say, ‘This is Jezebel.’”

King James Version
9 And Elisha the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this box of oil in thine hand, and go to Ramothgilead:
2 And when thou comest thither, look out there Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brethren, and carry him to an inner chamber;
3 Then take the box of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel. Then open the door, and flee, and tarry not.
4 So the young man, even the young man the prophet, went to Ramothgilead.
5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the host were sitting; and he said, I have an errand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said, Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O captain.
6 And he arose, and went into the house; and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I have anointed thee king over the people of the Lord, even over Israel.
7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Jezebel.
8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel:
9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah:
10 And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
11 Then Jehu came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this mad fellow to thee? And he said unto them, Ye know the man, and his communication.
12 And they said, It is false; tell us now. And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, saying, Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Israel.
13 Then they hasted, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, Jehu is king.
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept Ramothgilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria.
15 But king Joram was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If it be your minds, then let none go forth nor escape out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.
16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. And Ahaziah king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
17 And there stood a watchman on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 So there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came to them, but he cometh not again.
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, which came to them, and said, Thus saith the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee behind me.
20 And the watchman told, saying, He came even unto them, and cometh not again: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth furiously.
21 And Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out against Jehu, and met him in the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah.
24 And Jehu drew a bow with his full strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 Then said Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, and cast him in the portion of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for remember how that, when I and thou rode together after Ahab his father, the Lord laid this burden upon him;
26 Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will requite thee in this plat, saith the Lord. Now therefore take and cast him into the plat of ground, according to the word of the Lord.
27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu followed after him, and said, Smite him also in the chariot. And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah.
30 And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and tired her head, and looked out at a window.
31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
33 And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he trode her under foot.
34 And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this cursed woman, and bury her: for she is a king's daughter.
35 And they went to bury her: but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the Lord, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:
37 And the carcase of Jezebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel; so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.
