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。’”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶戶被立為以色列王
9 以利沙先知叫來一個先知,吩咐他:「你要束上腰帶,拿著這瓶膏油去基列的拉末。 2 到了以後,你去找寧示的孫子、約沙法的兒子耶戶,帶他離開同僚,進入密室, 3 把這瓶膏油倒在他頭上,告訴他,『耶和華說,我膏立你為以色列王。』然後,你要馬上開門逃走,不可遲延。」
4 於是,那位年輕的先知啟程前往基列的拉末。 5 到了那裡,他看見眾將領正坐在一起,便說:「將軍,我有話對你說。」耶戶說:「你想對我們哪一個說話?」他說:「將軍啊,我有話對你說。」 6 耶戶便站起來,隨他進入屋裡。他將膏油倒在耶戶頭上,說:「以色列的上帝耶和華說,『我膏立你做我以色列子民的王。 7 你要殺你主人亞哈的全家,這樣我就可以為我的僕人——眾先知以及其他僕人報仇,他們被耶洗別殺害。 8 亞哈全家必滅亡,我要從以色列剷除他家中所有的男子——不論奴隸還是自由人, 9 使他家像尼八的兒子耶羅波安家和亞希雅的兒子巴沙家一樣。 10 耶洗別的屍體必在耶斯列的田間被狗吃,無人埋葬。』」說完這話,那位年輕的先知便開門逃跑了。
11 耶戶出來回到同僚那裡,一個人問他:「沒事吧?那瘋子為什麼來找你?」耶戶答道:「你們認得他,也知道他會說什麼。」 12 他們說:「我們不知道,你告訴我們吧!」耶戶說:「他告訴我,耶和華說膏立我做以色列王。」 13 他們連忙將自己的衣服鋪在耶戶腳下的臺階上,吹響號角,高喊:「耶戶做王了!」
以色列王約蘭被殺
14 寧示的孫子、約沙法的兒子耶戶背叛了約蘭。當時,約蘭率領全體以色列人在基列的拉末防禦亞蘭王哈薛, 15 他與哈薛交戰受傷後,回到耶斯列養傷。耶戶對屬下說:「如果你們要我做王,就不要讓任何人逃出城去耶斯列報信。」 16 於是,耶戶駕車去了耶斯列,因為約蘭在耶斯列養傷,猶大王亞哈謝也在那裡探望他。
17 耶斯列城樓上的哨兵看見耶戶的人馬朝耶斯列奔來,就報信說:「我見到一隊人馬!」約蘭下令:「派一個騎兵去看看他們是否為平安而來。」 18 騎兵出去迎接耶戶,對他說:「王問你是否為平安而來。」耶戶說:「這與你何干?你跟在我後面。」哨兵稟告說:「騎兵到了那裡,卻沒有回來。」 19 王又派一個騎兵到耶戶那裡,對他說:「王問你是否為平安而來。」耶戶說:「這與你何干?你跟在我後面。」 20 哨兵又稟告說:「他到了那裡,也沒有回來。那人駕車很猛,一定是寧示的孫子耶戶。」
21 約蘭下令備車。以色列王約蘭和猶大王亞哈謝各乘自己的戰車去見耶戶。他們和耶戶在耶斯列人拿伯的田裡相遇。 22 約蘭問他:「耶戶,你為平安而來嗎?」耶戶答道:「國中到處都是你母親耶洗別的偶像和邪術,怎能平安呢?」 23 約蘭調轉車頭逃跑,向亞哈謝大喊:「亞哈謝,他反了!」 24 耶戶張弓搭箭,射中約蘭的後背,箭穿透他的心臟,他倒斃在車上。 25 耶戶對將領畢甲說:「你去把他丟在耶斯列人拿伯的田裡。還記得嗎?你我一起駕車跟隨他父親亞哈的時候,耶和華曾預言亞哈的事說, 26 『我昨天看見拿伯和他兒子們被殺,我必使你在這塊田裡受到報應,這是耶和華說的。』現在你照耶和華的話,把他丟在這塊田裡吧。」
27 猶大王亞哈謝見狀,就沿著通往伯哈干的道路逃跑。耶戶在後面追,並大喊:「射死他!」他們在以伯蓮附近的姑珥坡射傷了亞哈謝。他逃到米吉多後,傷重身亡。 28 他的臣僕用車把他的屍體運回耶路撒冷,安葬在大衛城他的祖墳裡。
29 在以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭執政第十一年,亞哈謝登基做猶大王。
耶洗別被殺
30 耶戶去了耶斯列。耶洗別聞訊,便梳頭描眉,向窗外眺望。 31 耶戶進城時,耶洗別高聲喊道:「謀殺主人的心利啊,平安嗎?」 32 耶戶抬頭望著窗口,喊道:「誰擁護我?誰?」有兩三個太監從窗口往外看他。 33 耶戶說:「把她扔下來!」那幾個太監便把耶洗別扔下去,血濺在牆壁上和馬匹身上。耶戶駕車軋過她的身體, 34 進入王宮,大吃大喝,然後吩咐部下說:「把那受咒詛的婦人埋了,她畢竟是王的女兒。」 35 他們出去埋葬她,卻只找到她的頭骨、手掌和腳, 36 便回去稟告耶戶。耶戶說:「這正應驗耶和華藉祂僕人提斯比人以利亞說的話,『狗必在耶斯列的田間吃耶洗別的肉, 37 耶洗別的屍體必像耶斯列田間的糞便,無人能認出那是耶洗別。』」

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.’”

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。’”

9 以利沙先知叫來一個先知,吩咐他:「你要束上腰帶,拿著這瓶膏油去基列的拉末。 2 到了以後,你去找寧示的孫子、約沙法的兒子耶戶,帶他離開同僚,進入密室, 3 把這瓶膏油倒在他頭上,告訴他,『耶和華說,我膏立你為以色列王。』然後,你要馬上開門逃走,不可遲延。」
4 於是,那位年輕的先知啟程前往基列的拉末。 5 到了那裡,他看見眾將領正坐在一起,便說:「將軍,我有話對你說。」耶戶說:「你想對我們哪一個說話?」他說:「將軍啊,我有話對你說。」 6 耶戶便站起來,隨他進入屋裡。他將膏油倒在耶戶頭上,說:「以色列的上帝耶和華說,『我膏立你做我以色列子民的王。 7 你要殺你主人亞哈的全家,這樣我就可以為我的僕人——眾先知以及其他僕人報仇,他們被耶洗別殺害。 8 亞哈全家必滅亡,我要從以色列剷除他家中所有的男子——不論奴隸還是自由人, 9 使他家像尼八的兒子耶羅波安家和亞希雅的兒子巴沙家一樣。 10 耶洗別的屍體必在耶斯列的田間被狗吃,無人埋葬。』」說完這話,那位年輕的先知便開門逃跑了。
11 耶戶出來回到同僚那裡,一個人問他:「沒事吧?那瘋子為什麼來找你?」耶戶答道:「你們認得他,也知道他會說什麼。」 12 他們說:「我們不知道,你告訴我們吧!」耶戶說:「他告訴我,耶和華說膏立我做以色列王。」 13 他們連忙將自己的衣服鋪在耶戶腳下的臺階上,吹響號角,高喊:「耶戶做王了!」
以色列王約蘭被殺
14 寧示的孫子、約沙法的兒子耶戶背叛了約蘭。當時,約蘭率領全體以色列人在基列的拉末防禦亞蘭王哈薛, 15 他與哈薛交戰受傷後,回到耶斯列養傷。耶戶對屬下說:「如果你們要我做王,就不要讓任何人逃出城去耶斯列報信。」 16 於是,耶戶駕車去了耶斯列,因為約蘭在耶斯列養傷,猶大王亞哈謝也在那裡探望他。
17 耶斯列城樓上的哨兵看見耶戶的人馬朝耶斯列奔來,就報信說:「我見到一隊人馬!」約蘭下令:「派一個騎兵去看看他們是否為平安而來。」 18 騎兵出去迎接耶戶,對他說:「王問你是否為平安而來。」耶戶說:「這與你何干?你跟在我後面。」哨兵稟告說:「騎兵到了那裡,卻沒有回來。」 19 王又派一個騎兵到耶戶那裡,對他說:「王問你是否為平安而來。」耶戶說:「這與你何干?你跟在我後面。」 20 哨兵又稟告說:「他到了那裡,也沒有回來。那人駕車很猛,一定是寧示的孫子耶戶。」
21 約蘭下令備車。以色列王約蘭和猶大王亞哈謝各乘自己的戰車去見耶戶。他們和耶戶在耶斯列人拿伯的田裡相遇。 22 約蘭問他:「耶戶,你為平安而來嗎?」耶戶答道:「國中到處都是你母親耶洗別的偶像和邪術,怎能平安呢?」 23 約蘭調轉車頭逃跑,向亞哈謝大喊:「亞哈謝,他反了!」 24 耶戶張弓搭箭,射中約蘭的後背,箭穿透他的心臟,他倒斃在車上。 25 耶戶對將領畢甲說:「你去把他丟在耶斯列人拿伯的田裡。還記得嗎?你我一起駕車跟隨他父親亞哈的時候,耶和華曾預言亞哈的事說, 26 『我昨天看見拿伯和他兒子們被殺,我必使你在這塊田裡受到報應,這是耶和華說的。』現在你照耶和華的話,把他丟在這塊田裡吧。」
27 猶大王亞哈謝見狀,就沿著通往伯哈干的道路逃跑。耶戶在後面追,並大喊:「射死他!」他們在以伯蓮附近的姑珥坡射傷了亞哈謝。他逃到米吉多後,傷重身亡。 28 他的臣僕用車把他的屍體運回耶路撒冷,安葬在大衛城他的祖墳裡。
29 在以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭執政第十一年,亞哈謝登基做猶大王。
耶洗別被殺
30 耶戶去了耶斯列。耶洗別聞訊,便梳頭描眉,向窗外眺望。 31 耶戶進城時,耶洗別高聲喊道:「謀殺主人的心利啊,平安嗎?」 32 耶戶抬頭望著窗口,喊道:「誰擁護我?誰?」有兩三個太監從窗口往外看他。 33 耶戶說:「把她扔下來!」那幾個太監便把耶洗別扔下去,血濺在牆壁上和馬匹身上。耶戶駕車軋過她的身體, 34 進入王宮,大吃大喝,然後吩咐部下說:「把那受咒詛的婦人埋了,她畢竟是王的女兒。」 35 他們出去埋葬她,卻只找到她的頭骨、手掌和腳, 36 便回去稟告耶戶。耶戶說:「這正應驗耶和華藉祂僕人提斯比人以利亞說的話,『狗必在耶斯列的田間吃耶洗別的肉, 37 耶洗別的屍體必像耶斯列田間的糞便,無人能認出那是耶洗別。』」
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
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.’”
