Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
以利沙和书念妇人
8 一天,以利沙路过书念,那里一位富有的妇人挽留他吃饭。此后以利沙每次路过那里,总到她家里吃饭。 9 那妇人对丈夫说:“我看常路过我们这里的这位是上帝圣洁的仆人。他常路过我们这里, 10 不如我们在房顶上给他盖一间小屋,里面放床、桌子、椅子和灯。这样,他来我们家时,可以在那里休息。”
11 一天,以利沙又到了那里,便在那间小屋里休息。 12 以利沙吩咐仆人基哈西去请书念的妇人。她来了,站在以利沙面前。 13 以利沙吩咐基哈西说:“你对她说,‘你为我们费了不少心,我们该为你做些什么呢?要不要我们在王或元帅面前为你说些好话呢?’”她答道:“我在本族中安居无事。” 14 以利沙问基哈西:“我们能为她做什么呢?”基哈西说:“她没有儿子,丈夫也已经老了。” 15 以利沙说:“你再去请她来。”她来了,站在门口。 16 以利沙对她说:“明年这时候,你必抱一个儿子。”她说:“上帝的仆人,我主啊,不要骗我。” 17 那妇人果然怀了孕,在第二年的那时候生了一个儿子,应验了以利沙对她说的话。
18 孩子渐渐长大。一天,他到收割的人那里找他父亲。 19 突然,他对他父亲喊道:“我的头啊!我的头啊!”他父亲见状,立刻吩咐仆人抱他到他母亲那里。 20 仆人把他抱起来,送到他母亲那里。孩子坐在母亲的膝上,到中午就死了。 21 他母亲上楼把他放在上帝仆人的床上,关上门出来。 22 她叫来丈夫,对他说:“请你预备一个仆人和一头驴,我好赶快去见上帝的仆人,然后返回来。” 23 她丈夫说:“今天不是朔日[a],也不是安息日,你为什么要去见他?”妇人说:“平安无事。” 24 她骑上驴,对仆人说:“快走吧!我不吩咐你,就不要慢下来。”
25 她就去迦密山见上帝的仆人。上帝的仆人远远望见她,就对仆人基哈西说:“你看,书念的妇人来了! 26 你跑去迎接她,问问她和她的丈夫与孩子都好吗。”
妇人对以利沙的仆人说:“一切都好。”
27 可是,她上山见到上帝的仆人后,就抱住他的脚。基哈西想要推开她,但上帝的仆人说:“由她吧!因为她心里非常痛苦。耶和华没有告诉我发生了什么事。” 28 妇人说:“我何尝向我主求过儿子呢?我不是对你说不要骗我吗?” 29 以利沙吩咐基哈西:“你要束上腰带,拿着我的杖去她家。路上不论遇见谁,都不要问候他。有人问候你,也不要作答。去把我的杖放在孩子脸上。” 30 孩子的母亲说:“我凭永活的耶和华和你的性命起誓,你若不同去,我决不离开你。”于是,以利沙跟她同去。 31 基哈西先赶到,把杖放在孩子脸上,可是孩子一点动静也没有。他就回去找以利沙,路上碰见他,便说:“孩子还没醒过来。”
32 以利沙进了屋子,看见孩子死了,躺在床上, 33 就关上门,向耶和华祈祷。 34 祷告后,他上床伏在孩子身上,口对口,眼对眼,手对手,孩子的身体渐渐变暖了。 35 然后,以利沙起来在房内来回走了一趟,又上床伏在孩子身上。孩子打了七个喷嚏,便睁开了眼睛。 36 以利沙叫基哈西请那妇人来。妇人来了,以利沙对她说:“把你儿子抱走吧。” 37 妇人进来,在以利沙脚前下拜,然后抱起儿子出去了。

2 Kings 4:8-37
King James Version
8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
18 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
22 And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
25 So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:
27 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
30 And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.

The Shunammite’s Son Restored to Life
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem.(A) And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat. 9 She said to her husband, “I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. 10 Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay(B) there whenever he comes to us.”
11 One day when Elisha came, he went up to his room and lay down there. 12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Call the Shunammite.”(C) So he called her, and she stood before him. 13 Elisha said to him, “Tell her, ‘You have gone to all this trouble for us. Now what can be done for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’”
She replied, “I have a home among my own people.”
14 “What can be done for her?” Elisha asked.
Gehazi said, “She has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 Then Elisha said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. 16 “About this time(D) next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.”
“No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!”
17 But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
18 The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers.(E) 19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!”
His father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.” 20 After the servant had lifted him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. 21 She went up and laid him on the bed(F) of the man of God, then shut the door and went out.
22 She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return.”
23 “Why go to him today?” he asked. “It’s not the New Moon(G) or the Sabbath.”
“That’s all right,” she said.
24 She saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Lead on; don’t slow down for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.(H)
When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite! 26 Run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’”
“Everything is all right,” she said.
27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress,(I) but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why.”
28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she said. “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t raise my hopes’?”
29 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt,(J) take my staff(K) in your hand and run. Don’t greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.”
30 But the child’s mother said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.
31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.”
32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch.(L) 33 He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed(M) to the Lord. 34 Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. As he stretched(N) himself out on him, the boy’s body grew warm. 35 Elisha turned away and walked back and forth in the room and then got on the bed and stretched out on him once more. The boy sneezed seven times(O) and opened his eyes.(P)
36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite.” And he did. When she came, he said, “Take your son.”(Q) 37 She came in, fell at his feet and bowed to the ground. Then she took her son and went out.

11 一天,以利沙又到了那里,便在那间小屋里休息。 12 以利沙吩咐仆人基哈西去请书念的妇人。她来了,站在以利沙面前。 13 以利沙吩咐基哈西说:“你对她说,‘你为我们费了不少心,我们该为你做些什么呢?要不要我们在王或元帅面前为你说些好话呢?’”她答道:“我在本族中安居无事。” 14 以利沙问基哈西:“我们能为她做什么呢?”基哈西说:“她没有儿子,丈夫也已经老了。” 15 以利沙说:“你再去请她来。”她来了,站在门口。 16 以利沙对她说:“明年这时候,你必抱一个儿子。”她说:“上帝的仆人,我主啊,不要骗我。” 17 那妇人果然怀了孕,在第二年的那时候生了一个儿子,应验了以利沙对她说的话。
18 孩子渐渐长大。一天,他到收割的人那里找他父亲。 19 突然,他对他父亲喊道:“我的头啊!我的头啊!”他父亲见状,立刻吩咐仆人抱他到他母亲那里。 20 仆人把他抱起来,送到他母亲那里。孩子坐在母亲的膝上,到中午就死了。 21 他母亲上楼把他放在上帝仆人的床上,关上门出来。 22 她叫来丈夫,对他说:“请你预备一个仆人和一头驴,我好赶快去见上帝的仆人,然后返回来。” 23 她丈夫说:“今天不是朔日[a],也不是安息日,你为什么要去见他?”妇人说:“平安无事。” 24 她骑上驴,对仆人说:“快走吧!我不吩咐你,就不要慢下来。”
25 她就去迦密山见上帝的仆人。上帝的仆人远远望见她,就对仆人基哈西说:“你看,书念的妇人来了! 26 你跑去迎接她,问问她和她的丈夫与孩子都好吗。”
妇人对以利沙的仆人说:“一切都好。”
27 可是,她上山见到上帝的仆人后,就抱住他的脚。基哈西想要推开她,但上帝的仆人说:“由她吧!因为她心里非常痛苦。耶和华没有告诉我发生了什么事。” 28 妇人说:“我何尝向我主求过儿子呢?我不是对你说不要骗我吗?” 29 以利沙吩咐基哈西:“你要束上腰带,拿着我的杖去她家。路上不论遇见谁,都不要问候他。有人问候你,也不要作答。去把我的杖放在孩子脸上。” 30 孩子的母亲说:“我凭永活的耶和华和你的性命起誓,你若不同去,我决不离开你。”于是,以利沙跟她同去。 31 基哈西先赶到,把杖放在孩子脸上,可是孩子一点动静也没有。他就回去找以利沙,路上碰见他,便说:“孩子还没醒过来。”
32 以利沙进了屋子,看见孩子死了,躺在床上, 33 就关上门,向耶和华祈祷。 34 祷告后,他上床伏在孩子身上,口对口,眼对眼,手对手,孩子的身体渐渐变暖了。 35 然后,以利沙起来在房内来回走了一趟,又上床伏在孩子身上。孩子打了七个喷嚏,便睁开了眼睛。 36 以利沙叫基哈西请那妇人来。妇人来了,以利沙对她说:“把你儿子抱走吧。” 37 妇人进来,在以利沙脚前下拜,然后抱起儿子出去了。
