列王纪下 9
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
以利沙差派門徒膏耶戶
9 以利沙先知喚來一位先知門徒，對他說：“你要束上腰，手裡拿著這瓶膏油，到基列的拉末去。 2 你到了那裡，要在那裡尋找寧示的孫子、約沙法的兒子耶戶。你要去，請他從他的兄弟中起來，然後把他帶進一個密室。 3 你要拿著這瓶膏油，把油倒在他的頭上，說：“耶和華這樣說：‘我膏立你作王統治以色列。’然後，你要開門逃跑，不可停留。” 4 於是那年輕的先知往基列的拉末去了。
耶戶為王
5 他到了那裡，看見軍隊的將領都坐在那裡。他就說：“將軍，我有話要對你說。”耶戶說：“我們這裡所有的人，你要對哪一個說話呢？”他說：“將軍，我要對你說。” 6 耶戶就起來，進了屋子；先知門徒就把油倒在耶戶的頭上，對他說：“以色列的 神耶和華這樣說：‘我膏立你作王，統治耶和華的人民以色列。 7 你要擊殺你的主人亞哈的家。我要為我僕人眾先知的血和所有耶和華的僕人的血，在耶洗別身上報仇。 8 亞哈的全家都要滅亡；我要剪除在以色列屬亞哈的男人，無論是自由的，或是為奴的。 9 我要使亞哈的家好像尼八的兒子耶羅波安的家，又好像亞希雅的兒子巴沙的家。 10 至於耶洗別，她的屍體要在耶斯列的田間被狗吃掉，沒有人來埋葬。’”他一說完，就開門逃走了。
11 耶戶出來，到他主人的臣僕那裡去；他們問他說：“一切都平安嗎？那瘋子來見你有甚麼事呢？”他對他們說：“你們認識這個人，也知道他說些甚麼。” 12 他們說：“謊話！請你告訴我們吧。”他說：“他這樣對我說：‘耶和華這樣說：我已經膏立你作王統治以色列。’” 13 他們就急忙把自己的衣服放在他腳下的上層（“上層”原文意思不詳，或譯：“沒有裝飾的”）臺階上，然後吹響號角宣告：“耶戶作王了。”
14 這樣，寧示的孫子、約沙法的兒子耶戶背叛約蘭了。約蘭和以色列眾人曾因亞蘭王哈薛的緣故，守衛著基列的拉末。 15 但後來約蘭王回到耶斯列去治傷，就是他與亞蘭王哈薛作戰時，亞蘭人擊傷他的。耶戶說：“你們若是同意，就不要讓人逃出這城到耶斯列去報信。” 16 於是耶戶登上戰車，往耶斯列去了；因約蘭正在那裡臥病，猶大王亞哈謝下來探望他。
17 站在耶斯列城樓的哨兵看見耶戶的隊伍來臨，就說：“我看見有一隊人馬。”約蘭說：“叫一個騎兵來，派他去見他們，說：‘平安嗎？’” 18 於是有一個騎兵去迎見耶戶，說：“王這樣問：‘平安嗎？’”耶戶說：“平安不平安和你有甚麼關係呢？轉到我後面去吧！”那哨兵又報告：“使者到了他們那裡，卻沒有回來。” 19 王又派第二個騎兵去。他來到他們那裡，說：“王這樣問：‘平安嗎？’”耶戶說：“平安不平安和你有甚麼關係呢？轉到我後面去吧！” 20 那哨兵又報告：“他已經去到他那裡，卻沒有回來。那駕車的手法很像寧示的孫子耶戶，因為他駕車很兇猛。”
耶戶射殺約蘭
21 約蘭就說：“備車。”他們就為他備了車。以色列王約蘭和猶大王亞哈謝出城，他們各自乘坐戰車出去見耶戶，就在耶斯列人拿伯的田間遇上了他。 22 約蘭看見耶戶的時候，就說：“耶戶，平安嗎？”耶戶說：“你的母親耶洗別的淫行和邪術這麼多，還有平安嗎？” 23 約蘭立刻把車調轉過來逃跑，對亞哈謝說：“亞哈謝啊，反了！” 24 耶戶拉滿弓，射中約蘭的背；箭從他的心窩穿出，他就倒在自己的車上。 25 耶戶對副官畢甲說：“把他抬起來，丟在耶斯列人拿伯的田地裡，因為我還記得你我一起駕車跟隨他父親亞哈的時候，耶和華曾宣告了這些有關亞哈的話： 26 ‘昨天我實在看見了拿伯的血和他兒子們的血（這是耶和華的宣告）；我要在這塊田地上報應你（這是耶和華的宣告）。’現在你要按著耶和華的話，把他抬起來丟在田裡。”
27 猶大王亞哈謝看見這一切，就沿著通往伯哈干的路逃走。耶戶緊追著他，說：“還有他！”他們就在靠近以伯蓮的姑珥坡把他擊傷在戰車上。他逃到米吉多，就死在那裡。 28 他的臣僕用車把他的屍體送到耶路撒冷，葬在大衛城他自己的墳墓，和他的祖先一同長眠。
29 亞哈的兒子約蘭第十一年，亞哈謝登基統治猶大。
耶洗別被擲墮樓慘死
30 耶戶到了耶斯列。耶洗別已經聽聞，就塗眼梳頭，從窗戶裡往外觀望。 31 耶戶進入城門的時候，她說：“平安嗎，殺主的心利？” 32 耶戶抬頭對著窗戶，說：“有誰擁護我？誰？”立時有兩三個太監往外望著他。 33 他說：“把她拋下來！”他們就把她拋下去。她的血濺在牆上和馬匹身上，牠們也踐踏了她。 34 耶戶進入屋內，又吃又喝，然後說：“你們去料理那被咒詛的婦人，把她埋了，因為她是王的女兒。” 35 於是他們去收殮她，卻找不到她的屍體，只找到頭骨、雙腳和雙掌。 36 他們就回去，告訴他，他說：“這正是耶和華藉著他僕人提斯比人以利亞所說的話：‘野狗必在耶斯列的地方吃耶洗別的肉。’ 37 耶洗別的屍體要像耶斯列田間的糞肥，以致人不能說：‘這是耶洗別。’”
列王纪下 9
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
World English Bible
9 Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead. 2 When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room. 3 Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Yahweh says, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”
4 So the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead. 5 When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.”
Jehu said, “To which one of us?”
He said, “To you, O captain.” 6 He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, even over Israel. 7 You must strike your master Ahab’s house, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at the hand of Jezebel. 8 For the whole house of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall,[a] both him who is shut up and him who is left at large in Israel. 9 I will make Ahab’s house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah. 10 The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then he opened the door and fled.
11 When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this madman come to you?”
He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”
12 They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.”
He said, “He said to me, ‘Yahweh says, I have anointed you king over Israel.’”
13 Then they hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, “Jehu is king.”
14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael king of Syria; 15 but King Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go 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. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram. 17 Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.”
Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, ‘Is it peace?’”
18 So one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’”
Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”
19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them and said, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’”
Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!”
20 The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
21 Joram said, “Get ready!”
They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land. 22 When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?”
He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
23 Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!”
24 Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot. 25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him: 26 ‘Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to Yahweh’s word.”
27 But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there. 28 His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city. 29 In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign over Judah.
30 When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned her head, and looked out at the window. 31 As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?”
32 He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?”
Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
33 He said, “Throw her down!”
So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot. 34 When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king’s daughter.”
35 They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her hands. 36 Therefore they came back, and told him.
He said, “This is Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel, 37 and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
