王下9:1 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。
王下9:1 And Elisha the prophet sent for one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Make yourself ready for a journey, and take this bottle of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
王下9:2 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。
王下9:2 And when you get there, go in search of Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi; and go in and make him get up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
王下9:3 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。”
王下9:3 Then take the bottle and put the oil on his head, and say, The Lord says, I have put the holy oil on you to make you king over Israel. Then, opening the door, go in flight, without waiting.
王下9:4 于是那年轻的先知往基列的拉末去了。
王下9:4 So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead.
王下9:5 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。”
王下9:5 And when he came, he saw the captains of the army seated together; and he said, I have something to say to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us? And he said, To you, O captain.
王下9:6 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。
王下9:6 And he got up and went into the house; then he put the holy oil on his head and said to him, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, I have made you king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
王下9:7 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。
王下9:7 You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.
王下9:8 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。
王下9:8 For the family of Ahab will come to an end; every male of Ahab's family will be cut off, he who is shut up and he who goes free in Israel.
王下9:9 我要使亚哈的家好像尼八的儿子耶罗波安的家，又好像亚希雅的儿子巴沙的家。
王下9:9 I will make the family of Ahab like that of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and Baasha, the son of Ahijah.
王下9:10 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。
王下9:10 And Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.
王下9:11 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？那疯子来见你有什么事呢？”他对他们说：“你们认识这个人，也知道他说些什么。”
王下9:11 Then Jehu came out again to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, Is all well? why did this man, who is off his head, come to you? And he said to them, You have knowledge of the man and of his talk.
王下9:12 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。’”
王下9:12 And they said, That is not true; now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made you king over Israel.
王下9:13 他们就急忙把自己的衣服放在他脚下的台阶上，然后吹响号角宣告：“耶户作王了。”
王下9:13 Then straight away everyone took his robe and put it under him on the top of the steps, and, sounding the horn, they said, Jehu is king.
王下9:14 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。
王下9:14 So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of Hazael, king of Aram:
王下9:15 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，弓箭手击伤他的。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。”
王下9:15 But King Joram had gone back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the Aramaeans had given him when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram.) And Jehu said, If this is your purpose, then let no one get away and go out of the town to give news of it in Jezreel.
王下9:16 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。
王下9:16 So Jehu got into his carriage and went to Jezreel, for Joram was ill in bed there; and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.
王下9:17 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？’”
王下9:17 And the watchman on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu and his band coming, and said, I see a band of people. And Joram said, Send out a horseman to them, and let him say, Is it peace?
王下9:18 于是有一个骑兵去迎见耶户，说：“王这样问：‘平安吗？’”耶户说：“平安不平安和你有什么关系呢？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。”
王下9:18 So a horseman went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come back.
王下9:19 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：“平安不平安和你有什么关系呢？转到我后面去吧！”
王下9:19 Then he sent out a second horseman, who came up to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said in answer, What have you to do with peace? come after me.
王下9:20 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。”
王下9:20 And the watchman gave them word, saying, He went up to them and has not come back again; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently.
王下9:21 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。
王下9:21 Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.
王下9:22 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？”
王下9:22 Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?
王下9:23 约兰立刻把车调转过来逃跑，对亚哈谢说：“亚哈谢啊，反了！”
王下9:23 Then Joram, turning his horses in flight, said to Ahaziah, Broken faith, O Ahaziah!
王下9:24 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。
王下9:24 Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.
王下9:25 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：
王下9:25 Then Jehu said to Bidkar, his captain, Take him up, and put him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for is not that day in your memory when you and I together on our horses were going after Ahab, his father, and the Lord put this fate on him, saying:
王下9:26 ‘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。”
王下9:26 I saw the blood of Naboth and of his sons yesterday; and I will give you full payment in this field, says the Lord? So now, take him and put him in this field, as the Lord said.
王下9:27 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。
王下9:27 Now when Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw this, he went in flight by the way of the garden house. And Jehu came after him and said, Put him to death in the same way; and they gave him a death-wound in his carriage, on the slope up to Gur, by Ibleam; and he went in flight to Megiddo, where death came to him.
王下9:28 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。
王下9:28 And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.
王下9:29 亚哈的儿子约兰第十一年，亚哈谢登基统治犹大。
王下9:29 (In the eleventh year of the rule of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.)
王下9:30 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。
王下9:30 And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.
王下9:31 耶户进入城门的时候，她说：“平安吗，杀主的心利？”
王下9:31 And when Jehu was coming into the town, she said, Is all well, O Zimri, taker of your master's life?
王下9:32 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。
王下9:32 Then, looking up to the window, he said, Who is on my side, who? and two or three unsexed servants put out their heads.
王下9:33 他说：“把她抛下来！”他们就把她抛下去。她的血溅在墙上和马匹身上，牠们也践踏了她。
王下9:33 And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.
王下9:34 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。”
王下9:34 And he came in, and took food and drink; then he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and put her body into the earth, for she is a king's daughter.
王下9:35 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。
王下9:35 And they went out to put her body into the earth, but nothing of her was to be seen, only the bones of her head, and her feet, and parts of her hands.
王下9:36 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。’
王下9:36 So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;
王下9:37 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。’”
王下9:37 And the dead body of Jezebel will be like waste dropped on the face of the earth in the heritage of Jezreel; so that they will not be able to say, This is Jezebel.
