列王纪下 9
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
以利沙差派门徒膏耶户
9 以利沙先知唤来一位先知门徒，对他说：“你要束上腰，手里拿着这瓶膏油，到基列的拉末去。 2 你到了那里，要在那里寻找宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户。你要去，请他从他的兄弟中起来，然后把他带进一个密室。 3 你要拿着这瓶膏油，把油倒在他的头上，说：“耶和华这样说：‘我膏立你作王统治以色列。’然后，你要开门逃跑，不可停留。” 4 于是那年轻的先知往基列的拉末去了。
耶户为王
5 他到了那里，看见军队的将领都坐在那里。他就说：“将军，我有话要对你说。”耶户说：“我们这里所有的人，你要对哪一个说话呢？”他说：“将军，我要对你说。” 6 耶户就起来，进了屋子；先知门徒就把油倒在耶户的头上，对他说：“以色列的 神耶和华这样说：‘我膏立你作王，统治耶和华的人民以色列。 7 你要击杀你的主人亚哈的家。我要为我仆人众先知的血和所有耶和华的仆人的血，在耶洗别身上报仇。 8 亚哈的全家都要灭亡；我要剪除在以色列属亚哈的男人，无论是自由的，或是为奴的。 9 我要使亚哈的家好象尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家，又好象亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家。 10 至于耶洗别，她的尸体要在耶斯列的田间被狗吃掉，没有人来埋葬。’”他一说完，就开门逃走了。
11 耶户出来，到他主人的臣仆那里去；他们问他说：“一切都平安吗？那疯子来见你有甚么事呢？”他对他们说：“你们认识这个人，也知道他说些甚么。” 12 他们说：“谎话！请你告诉我们吧。”他说：“他这样对我说：‘耶和华这样说：我已经膏立你作王统治以色列。’” 13 他们就急忙把自己的衣服放在他脚下的上层（“上层”原文意思不详，或译：“没有装饰的”）台阶上，然后吹响号角宣告：“耶户作王了。”
14 这样，宁示的孙子、约沙法的儿子耶户背叛约兰了。约兰和以色列众人曾因亚兰王哈薛的缘故，守卫着基列的拉末。 15 但后来约兰王回到耶斯列去治伤，就是他与亚兰王哈薛作战时，亚兰人击伤他的。耶户说：“你们若是同意，就不要让人逃出这城到耶斯列去报信。” 16 于是耶户登上战车，往耶斯列去了；因约兰正在那里卧病，犹大王亚哈谢下来探望他。
17 站在耶斯列城楼的哨兵看见耶户的队伍来临，就说：“我看见有一队人马。”约兰说：“叫一个骑兵来，派他去见他们，说：‘平安吗？’” 18 于是有一个骑兵去迎见耶户，说：“王这样问：‘平安吗？’”耶户说：“平安不平安和你有甚么关系呢？转到我后面去吧！”那哨兵又报告：“使者到了他们那里，却没有回来。” 19 王又派第二个骑兵去。他来到他们那里，说：“王这样问：‘平安吗？’”耶户说：“平安不平安和你有甚么关系呢？转到我后面去吧！” 20 那哨兵又报告：“他已经去到他那里，却没有回来。那驾车的手法很像宁示的孙子耶户，因为他驾车很凶猛。”
耶户射杀约兰
21 约兰就说：“备车。”他们就为他备了车。以色列王约兰和犹大王亚哈谢出城，他们各自乘坐战车出去见耶户，就在耶斯列人拿伯的田间遇上了他。 22 约兰看见耶户的时候，就说：“耶户，平安吗？”耶户说：“你的母亲耶洗别的淫行和邪术这么多，还有平安吗？” 23 约兰立刻把车调转过来逃跑，对亚哈谢说：“亚哈谢啊，反了！” 24 耶户拉满弓，射中约兰的背；箭从他的心窝穿出，他就倒在自己的车上。 25 耶户对副官毕甲说：“把他抬起来，丢在耶斯列人拿伯的田地里，因为我还记得你我一起驾车跟随他父亲亚哈的时候，耶和华曾宣告了这些有关亚哈的话： 26 ‘昨天我实在看见了拿伯的血和他儿子们的血（这是耶和华的宣告）；我要在这块田地上报应你（这是耶和华的宣告）。’现在你要按着耶和华的话，把他抬起来丢在田里。”
27 犹大王亚哈谢看见这一切，就沿着通往伯哈干的路逃走。耶户紧追着他，说：“还有他！”他们就在靠近以伯莲的姑珥坡把他击伤在战车上。他逃到米吉多，就死在那里。 28 他的臣仆用车把他的尸体送到耶路撒冷，葬在大卫城他自己的坟墓，和他的祖先一同长眠。
29 亚哈的儿子约兰第十一年，亚哈谢登基统治犹大。
耶洗别被掷堕楼惨死
30 耶户到了耶斯列。耶洗别已经听闻，就涂眼梳头，从窗户里往外观望。 31 耶户进入城门的时候，她说：“平安吗，杀主的心利？” 32 耶户抬头对着窗户，说：“有谁拥护我？谁？”立时有两三个太监往外望着他。 33 他说：“把她拋下来！”他们就把她拋下去。她的血溅在墙上和马匹身上，牠们也践踏了她。 34 耶户进入屋内，又吃又喝，然后说：“你们去料理那被咒诅的妇人，把她埋了，因为她是王的女儿。” 35 于是他们去收殓她，却找不到她的尸体，只找到头骨、双脚和双掌。 36 他们就回去，告诉他，他说：“这正是耶和华借着他仆人提斯比人以利亚所说的话：‘野狗必在耶斯列的地方吃耶洗别的肉。’ 37 耶洗别的尸体要像耶斯列田间的粪肥，以致人不能说：‘这是耶洗别。’”

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
New Living Translation
Jehu Anointed King of Israel
9 Meanwhile, Elisha the prophet had summoned a member of the group of prophets. “Get ready to travel,”[a] he told him, “and take this flask of olive oil with you. Go to Ramoth-gilead, 2 and find Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi. Call him into a private room away from his friends, 3 and pour the oil over his head. Say to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: I anoint you to be the king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run for your life!”
4 So the young prophet did as he was told and went to Ramoth-gilead. 5 When he arrived there, he found Jehu sitting around with the other army officers. “I have a message for you, Commander,” he said.
“For which one of us?” Jehu asked.
“For you, Commander,” he replied.
6 So Jehu left the others and went into the house. Then the young prophet poured the oil over Jehu’s head and said, “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 family of Ahab, your master. In this way, I will avenge the murder of my prophets and all the Lord’s servants who were killed by Jezebel. 8 The entire family of Ahab must be wiped out. I will destroy every one of his male descendants, slave and free alike, anywhere in Israel. 9 I will destroy the family of Ahab as I destroyed the families of Jeroboam son of Nebat and of Baasha son of Ahijah. 10 Dogs will eat Ahab’s wife Jezebel at the plot of land in Jezreel, and no one will bury her.” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
11 Jehu went back to his fellow officers, and one of them asked him, “What did that madman want? Is everything all right?”
“You know how a man like that babbles on,” Jehu replied.
12 “You’re hiding something,” they said. “Tell us.”
So Jehu told them, “He said to me, ‘This is what the Lord says: I have anointed you to be king over Israel.’”
13 Then they quickly spread out their cloaks on the bare steps and blew the ram’s horn, shouting, “Jehu is king!”
Jehu Kills Joram and Ahaziah
14 So Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, son of Nimshi, led a conspiracy against King Joram. (Now Joram had been with the army at Ramoth-gilead, defending Israel against the forces of King Hazael of Aram. 15 But King Joram[b] was wounded in the fighting and returned to Jezreel to recover from his wounds.) So Jehu told the men with him, “If you want me to be king, don’t let anyone leave town and go to Jezreel to report what we have done.”
16 Then Jehu got into a chariot and rode to Jezreel to find King Joram, who was lying there wounded. King Ahaziah of Judah was there, too, for he had gone to visit him. 17 The watchman on the tower of Jezreel saw Jehu and his company approaching, so he shouted to Joram, “I see a company of troops coming!”
“Send out a rider to ask if they are coming in peace,” King Joram ordered.
18 So a horseman went out to meet Jehu and said, “The king wants to know if you are coming in peace.”
Jehu replied, “What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!”
The watchman called out to the king, “The messenger has met them, but he’s not returning.”
19 So the king sent out a second horseman. He rode up to them and said, “The king wants to know if you come in peace.”
Again Jehu answered, “What do you know about peace? Fall in behind me!”
20 The watchman exclaimed, “The messenger has met them, but he isn’t returning either! It must be Jehu son of Nimshi, for he’s driving like a madman.”
21 “Quick! Get my chariot ready!” King Joram commanded.
Then King Joram of Israel and King Ahaziah of Judah rode out in their chariots to meet Jehu. They met him at the plot of land that had belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. 22 King Joram demanded, “Do you come in peace, Jehu?”
Jehu replied, “How can there be peace as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother, Jezebel, are all around us?”
23 Then King Joram turned the horses around[c] and fled, shouting to King Ahaziah, “Treason, Ahaziah!” 24 But Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he sank down dead in his chariot.
25 Jehu said to Bidkar, his officer, “Throw him into the plot of land that belonged to Naboth of Jezreel. Do you remember when you and I were riding along behind his father, Ahab? The Lord pronounced this message against him: 26 ‘I solemnly swear that I will repay him here on this plot of land, says the Lord, for the murder of Naboth and his sons that I saw yesterday.’ So throw him out on Naboth’s property, just as the Lord said.”
27 When King Ahaziah of Judah saw what was happening, he fled along the road to Beth-haggan. Jehu rode after him, shouting, “Shoot him, too!” So they shot Ahaziah[d] in his chariot at the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam. He was able to go on as far as Megiddo, but he died there. 28 His servants took him by chariot to Jerusalem, where they buried him with his ancestors in the City of David. 29 Ahaziah had become king over Judah in the eleventh year of the reign of Joram son of Ahab.
The Death of Jezebel
30 When Jezebel, the queen mother, heard that Jehu had come to Jezreel, she painted her eyelids and fixed her hair and sat at a window. 31 When Jehu entered the gate of the palace, she shouted at him, “Have you come in peace, you murderer? You’re just like Zimri, who murdered his master!”[e]
32 Jehu looked up and saw her at the window and shouted, “Who is on my side?” And two or three eunuchs looked out at him. 33 “Throw her down!” Jehu yelled. So they threw her out the window, and her blood spattered against the wall and on the horses. And Jehu trampled her body under his horses’ hooves.
34 Then Jehu went into the palace and ate and drank. Afterward he said, “Someone go and bury this cursed woman, for she is the daughter of a king.” 35 But when they went out to bury her, they found only her skull, her feet, and her hands.
36 When they returned and told Jehu, he stated, “This fulfills the message from the Lord, which he spoke through his servant Elijah from Tishbe: ‘At the plot of land in Jezreel, dogs will eat Jezebel’s body. 37 Her remains will be scattered like dung on the plot of land in Jezreel, so that no one will be able to recognize her.’”
