王上22:1 亚兰人和以色列人之间，连续三年没有战争。
王上22:1 Now for three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
王上22:2 到了第三年，犹大王约沙法下去见以色列王。
王上22:2 And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.
王上22:3 以色列王对他的臣仆说：“你们知道吗？基列的拉末原属于我们，我们怎可静坐不动，不把它从亚兰王的手中夺回来呢？”
王上22:3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.
王上22:4 亚哈问约沙法：“你肯与我一起到基列的拉末去作战吗？”约沙法回答以色列王：“你我不分彼此，我的人民就像是你的人民，我的战马就像是你的战马。”
王上22:4 And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
王上22:5 约沙法又对以色列王说：“现在请你先求问耶和华。”
王上22:5 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
王上22:6 于是以色列王把众先知聚集了来，约有四百人，问他们：“我可以去攻打基列的拉末吗？或是应当忍耐不去呢？”他们说：“你可以上去，主必把那城交在王的手里。”
王上22:6 So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
王上22:7 约沙法说：“这里不是还有耶和华的先知，我们可以求问他吗？”
王上22:7 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
王上22:8 以色列王对约沙法说：“还有一个人，我们可以托他求问耶和华。不过我憎恨他，因为他对我说的预言，都是凶话，不是吉话。这人就是音拉的儿子米该雅。”但约沙法说：“请王不要这么说。”
王上22:8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I have no love for him, for he is a prophet of evil to me and not of good. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
王上22:9 于是王召了一位太监来，说：“快去把音拉的儿子米该雅召来！”
王上22:9 Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.
王上22:10 以色列王和犹大王约沙法穿着朝服，在撒玛利亚城门口的广场上，各人坐在自己的王位上；所有的先知都在他们面前说预言。
王上22:10 Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.
王上22:11 基拿拿的儿子西底家做了些铁角，说：“耶和华这样说：‘你要用这些铁角抵触亚兰人，直到把他们完全消灭。’”
王上22:11 And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
王上22:12 所有的先知也都这样预言说：“你可以上基列的拉末去，必得胜利！因为耶和华必把那城交在王的手里。”
王上22:12 And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
王上22:13 那去召米该雅的使者对米该雅说：“看哪，这里的众先知都异口同声地对王说吉话，请你与他们一样说吉话。”
王上22:13 Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.
王上22:14 米该雅说：“我指着永活的耶和华起誓，耶和华吩咐我什么，我就说什么。”
王上22:14 And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
王上22:15 米该雅来到王那里的时候，王就问他：“米该雅啊，我们可以到基列的拉末去作战吗？或是要忍耐不去呢？”米该雅回答亚哈：“你可以上去，必得胜利，因为耶和华必把那城交在王的手里！”
王上22:15 When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
王上22:16 王对他说：“我要嘱咐你多少次，你才奉耶和华的名对我只说真话呢？”
王上22:16 Then the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?
王上22:17 米该雅说：“我看见以色列人四散在山上，好像没有牧人的羊群一样；耶和华说：‘这些人没有主人，使他们平平安安各自回家吧！’”
王上22:17 Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.
王上22:18 以色列王对约沙法说：“我不是告诉过你，这人对我说的预言，总不说吉话，只说凶话吗？”
王上22:18 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good but of evil?
王上22:19 米该雅说：“因此，你要听耶和华的话；我看见耶和华坐在他的宝座上，天上的万军都侍立在他的左右。
王上22:19 And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.
王上22:20 耶和华说：‘谁去引诱亚哈，使他上基列的拉末阵亡呢？’有说这样的，有说那样的。
王上22:20 And the Lord said, How may Ahab be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.
王上22:21 后来有一个灵出来，站在耶和华面前，说：‘我去引诱他。’耶和华问他：‘你用什么方法呢？’
王上22:21 Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.
王上22:22 他回答：‘我要出去，在亚哈所有先知的口中，作说谎的灵。’耶和华说：‘你可以去引诱他，你也必能成功，你去这样行吧！’
王上22:22 And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
王上22:23 现在，耶和华已经把说谎的灵放在你这些先知的口中，耶和华已经命定灾祸临到你。”
王上22:23 And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.
王上22:24 基拿拿的儿子西底家近前来，打米该雅的脸颊说：“耶和华的灵怎样离开了我，去与你说话呢？”
王上22:24 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
王上22:25 米该雅说：“你进密室躲藏的那一天，就必看见了。”
王上22:25 And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
王上22:26 以色列王说：“把米该雅带回去，交给市长亚们和王的儿子约阿施，
王上22:26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;
王上22:27 说：‘王这样吩咐：把这人囚在监里，少给他食物和水，直到我平平安安回来。’”
王上22:27 And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.
王上22:28 米该雅说：“如果你真的可以平平安安回来，那么耶和华就没有借着我说话了。”他又说：“众民啊，你们都要听。”
王上22:28 And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.
王上22:29 于是，以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了。
王上22:29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.
王上22:30 以色列王对约沙法说：“我要改装上战场去了；你可以仍穿自己的朝服。”于是以色列王改装到战场去了。
王上22:30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress and went into the fight.
王上22:31 亚兰王曾经嘱咐他的三十二个战车长说：“无论大小将兵，你们都不要与他们争战，只要与以色列王争战。”
王上22:31 Now the king of Aram had given orders to the thirty-two captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.
王上22:32 战车长们看见约沙法的时候，就说：“这人必是以色列王。”他们就转过去与他争战，约沙法便喊叫起来。
王上22:32 So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Truly, this is the king of Israel; and turning against him, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry.
王上22:33 战车长们一见他不是以色列王，就转回来，不追赶他了。
王上22:33 And when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.
王上22:34 有一个人随便射了一箭，竟射中了以色列王铁甲与护胸甲之间的地方。王对驾车的说：“你把车转过来，载我离开战场吧！我受了重伤。”
王上22:34 And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.
王上22:35 那一天战争不断升级，有人扶着王站在车上抵挡亚兰人。到了黄昏，王就死了；血从伤口流到战车的底下去。
王上22:35 But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.
王上22:36 约在日落的时候，有命令传遍军中说：“各归各城，各归各地吧。”
王上22:36 And about sundown a cry went up from all parts of the army, saying, Let every man go back to his town and his country, for the king is dead.
王上22:37 王死了以后，人们把他送回撒玛利亚，埋葬在那里。
王上22:37 And they came to Samaria, and put the king's body to rest in Samaria.
王上22:38 他们在撒玛利亚的池旁，妓女洗澡的地方清洗战车，有狗来舔亚哈的血，正如耶和华说过的话一样。
王上22:38 And the war-carriage was washed by the pool of Samaria, which was the bathing-place of the loose women, and the dogs were drinking his blood there, as the Lord had said.
王上22:39 亚哈其余的事迹，他所作的一切，他建造的象牙宫和他重建的一切城镇，不是都记在以色列诸王的年代志上吗？
王上22:39 Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
王上22:40 亚哈与他的列祖同睡，他的儿子亚哈谢接续他作王。
王上22:40 So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
王上22:41 以色列王亚哈第四年，亚撒的儿子约沙法登基作犹大王。
王上22:41 And Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab's rule over Israel.
王上22:42 约沙法登基的时候是三十五岁；他在耶路撒冷作王二十五年。他母亲名叫阿苏巴，是示利希的女儿。
王上22:42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
王上22:43 约沙法遵行他父亲亚撒所行的一切，总不偏离，行耶和华看为正的事。只是邱坛还没有废去，人民仍在邱坛上献祭烧香（“只是邱坛……献祭烧香。”《马索拉抄本》为22:44）。
王上22:43 He did as Asa his father had done, not turning away from it, but doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord; but the high places were not taken away: the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
王上22:44 约沙法王与以色列王和平相处。（本节在《马索拉抄本》为22:45）
王上22:44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
王上22:45 约沙法其余的事迹，他作过的英勇的事和他怎样争战的事，不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗？
王上22:45 Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his great power, and how he went to war, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
王上22:46 约沙法把父亲亚撒在世时遗留下来的庙妓都从国中除灭。
王上22:46 He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.
王上22:47 那时，以东没有王，由总督统治。
王上22:47 At that time there was no king in Edom;
王上22:48 约沙法建造了他施船只，要到俄斐去运金子，可是不能开船，因为船只在以旬．迦别坏了。
王上22:48 And the representative of King Jehoshaphat made a Tarshish-ship to go to Ophir for gold, but it did not go, because it was broken at Ezion-geber.
王上22:49 那时亚哈的儿子亚哈谢对约沙法说：“让我的仆人与你的仆人一同坐船去吧！”但是约沙法不肯。
王上22:49 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.
王上22:50 约沙法与他的列祖同睡，与他的列祖一同埋葬在他先祖大卫的城里；他的儿子约兰接续他作王。
王上22:50 Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.
王上22:51 犹大王约沙法第十七年，亚哈的儿子亚哈谢在撒玛利亚登基作以色列王。他作以色列王两年。
王上22:51 Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and he was king over Israel for two years.
王上22:52 他行耶和华看为恶的事，行他父亲的道和他母亲的道，又行尼八的儿子耶罗波安使以色列人陷在罪中的道。
王上22:52 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, going in the ways of his father and his mother, and in the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil.
王上22:53 他事奉巴力，敬拜巴力，照着他父亲所行的一切惹耶和华以色列的 神发怒。
王上22:53 He was a servant and worshipper of Baal, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath, as his father had done.
