王上19:1 亚哈把以利亚所行的一切，和他用刀杀死众先知的一切事，都告诉了耶洗别。
王上19:1 Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.
王上19:2 耶洗别就差派一个使者去见以利亚说：“明天这个时候，如果我不使你的性命，像那些人一样，愿神明惩罚我，并且加倍惩罚我。”
王上19:2 Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.
王上19:3 以利亚害怕，就起来，逃命去了。他到了犹大的别是巴，就把自己的仆人留在那里。
王上19:3 And he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;
王上19:4 他自己却在旷野走了一天的路，来到一棵罗腾树下，就坐在那里求死，说：“耶和华啊，现在已经够了，求你取我的性命吧，因为我并不比我的列祖好。”
王上19:4 While he himself went a day's journey into the waste land, and took a seat under a broom-plant, desiring for himself only death; for he said, It is enough: now, O Lord, take away my life, for I am no better than my fathers.
王上19:5 他躺在那棵罗腾树下，睡着了。忽然有一位天使拍他，说：“起来，吃吧！”
王上19:5 And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.
王上19:6 他张眼一看，只见头旁有用炭火烤的饼和一瓶水。他就起来吃喝，然后又躺下去。
王上19:6 And looking up, he saw by his head a cake cooked on the stones and a bottle of water. So he took food and drink and went to sleep again.
王上19:7 耶和华的使者第二次回来拍他，说：“起来吃吧！因为你要走的路程太远了。”
王上19:7 And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touching him said, Get up and have some food, or the journey will be overmuch for your strength.
王上19:8 于是他起来吃喝，靠着那食物的力量，他走了四十昼夜，直走到 神的山，就是何烈山。
王上19:8 So he got up and took food and drink, and in the strength of that food he went on for forty days and nights, to Horeb, the mountain of God.
王上19:9 他在那里进了一个洞，就在洞里过夜。耶和华的话临到他，说：“以利亚啊，你在这里干什么？”
王上19:9 And there he went into a hole in the rock for the night; then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?
王上19:10 他说：“我为耶和华万军的 神大发热心，因为以色列人背弃了你的约，拆毁了你的祭坛，用刀杀死了你的众先知，只剩下我一个人，他们还在寻索，要取去我的性命。”
王上19:10 And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
王上19:11 耶和华说：“你出来站在山上，在我耶和华面前。”那时，耶和华从那里经过。在耶和华面前有强烈的大风，山崩石碎，但耶和华不在风中；风过以后有地震，但耶和华也不在地震中；
王上19:11 Then he said, Go out and take your place on the mountain before the Lord. Then the Lord went by, and mountains were parted by the force of a great wind, and rocks were broken before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earth-shock, but the Lord was not in the earth-shock.
王上19:12 地震过后有火，耶和华也不在火中；火后有低微柔和的声音。
王上19:12 And after the earth-shock a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a soft breath.
王上19:13 以利亚听见了，就用自己的外衣蒙着脸，走出来，站在洞口。忽然有声音向他说：“以利亚啊，你在这里干什么？”
王上19:13 And Elijah, hearing it, went out, covering his face with his robe, and took his place in the opening of the hole. And there a voice came to him saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?
王上19:14 以利亚说：“我为耶和华万军的 神大发热心，因为以色列人背弃了你的约，拆毁了你的祭坛，用刀杀了你的众先知，只剩下我一个人，他们还在寻索，要取去我的性命。”
王上19:14 And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.
王上19:15 耶和华对他说：“你离去吧，从你来的路回到大马士革的旷野去。你到了那里，就要膏哈薛作亚兰王。
王上19:15 And the Lord said to him, Go back on your way through the waste land to Damascus; and when you come there, put the holy oil on Hazael to make him king over Aram;
王上19:16 又要膏宁示的孙子耶户作以色列王，还要膏埃布尔．米何拉人沙法的儿子以利沙接续你作先知。
王上19:16 And on Jehu, son of Nimshi, making him king over Israel; and on Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, to be prophet in your place.
王上19:17 将来逃得过哈薛的刀的，必被耶户杀死；逃得过耶户的刀的，必被以利沙杀死。
王上19:17 And it will come about that the man who gets away safe from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will put to death; and whoever gets away safe from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will put to death.
王上19:18 但我在以色列人中留下七千人，他们全是未曾向巴力屈过膝的，也未曾与巴力亲过嘴的。”
王上19:18 But I will keep safe seven thousand in Israel, all those whose knees have not been bent to Baal, and whose mouths have given him no kisses.
王上19:19 于是以利亚离开那里去了。他遇见沙法的儿子以利沙正在耕田。在他面前有十二对牛，他自己正在赶着第十二对牛。以利亚走过他那里去，把自己的外衣披在以利沙身上。
王上19:19 So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.
王上19:20 以利沙就撇下那些牛，跑在以利亚的后面，说：“请你允许我与父母亲吻别，然后我就跟随你。”以利亚对他说：“你回去吧！我向你作了什么呢？”
王上19:20 And letting the oxen be where they were, he came running after Elijah, and said, Only let me give a kiss to my father and mother, and then I will come after you. But he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to you?
王上19:21 以利沙就离开他回去了。他牵了一对牛来宰了，用套牛的器具把牛煮熟，就分给众人，他们都吃了。然后以利沙就起来，跟随以利亚，服事他。
王上19:21 And he went back, and took the oxen and put them to death, and cooking their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, he gave the people a feast. Then he got up and went after Elijah and became his servant.
