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。’”
2 Kings 9
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.
