1南北两国联合攻打拉末（代下18:2-3）
1And they sit still three years, there is no war between Aram and Israel,
2到了第三年，犹大王约沙法下去见以色列王。
2and it cometh to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah cometh down unto the king of Israel,
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？”
3and the king of Israel saith unto his servants, `Have ye not known that ours [is] Ramoth-Gilead? and we are keeping silent from taking it out of the hand of the king of Aram!`
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。”
4And he saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Dost thou go with me to battle [to] Ramoth-Gilead?` and Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `As I am, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.`
5以色列的假先知都预言战胜（代下18:4-11）约沙法又对以色列王说：“现在请你先求问耶和华。”
5And Jehoshaphat saith unto the king of Israel, `Seek, I pray thee, to-day, the word of Jehovah;`
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。”
6and the king of Israel gathereth the prophets, about four hundred men, and saith unto them, `Do I go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or do I forbear?` and they say, `Go up, and the Lord doth give [it] into the hand of the king.`
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？”
7And Jehoshaphat saith, `Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, and we seek by him?`
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。”
8And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Yet — one man to seek Jehovah by him, and I have hated him, for he doth not prophesy concerning me good, but evil — Micaiah son of Imlah;` and Jehoshaphat saith, `Let not the king say so.`
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！”
9And the king of Israel calleth unto a certain eunuch, and saith, `Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.`
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。
10And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah are sitting, each on his throne, clothed with garments, in a threshing-floor, at the opening of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets are prophesying before them.
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。’”
11And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah maketh for himself horns of iron, and saith, `Thus said Jehovah, By these thou dost push the Aramaeans till they are consumed;`
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。”
12and all the prophets are prophesying so, saying, `Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it] into the hand of the king.`
13只有米该雅预言战败（代下18:12-22）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。”
13And the messenger who hath gone to call Micaiah hath spoken unto him, saying, `Lo, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, [are] good towards the king; let it be, I pray thee, thy word as the word of one of them — and thou hast spoken good.`
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。”
14And Micaiah saith, `Jehovah liveth; surely that which Jehovah saith unto me — it I speak.`
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！”
15And he cometh in unto the king, and the king saith unto him, `Micaiah, do we go unto Ramoth-Gilead, to battle, or do we forbear?` and he saith unto him, `Go up, and prosper, and Jehovah hath given [it] into the hand of the king.`
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？”
16And the king saith unto him, `How many times am I adjuring thee that thou speak nothing unto me but truth in the name of Jehovah?`
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！’”
17And he saith, `I have seen all Israel scattered on the hills as sheep that have no shepherd, and Jehovah saith, These have no master; they turn back each to his house in peace.`
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？”
18And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat, `Have I not said unto thee, He doth not prophesy of me good, but evil?`
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。
19And he saith, `Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah; I have seen Jehovah sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing by Him, on His right and on His left;
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。
20and Jehovah saith, Who doth entice Ahab, and he doth go up and fall in Ramoth-Gilead? and this one saith thus, and that one is saying thus.
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？’
21`And the spirit goeth out, and standeth before Jehovah, and saith, I — I do entice him; and Jehovah saith unto him, By what?
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！’
22and he saith, I go out, and have been a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets; and He saith, Thou dost entice, and also thou art able; go out and do so.
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。”
23And now, lo, Jehovah hath put a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and Jehovah hath spoken concerning thee — evil.`
24米该雅受辱被囚（代下18:23-27）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？”
24And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draweth nigh, and smiteth Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, `Where [is] this — he hath passed over — the Spirit of Jehovah — from me to speak with thee?`
25米该雅说：“你进密室躲藏的那一天，就必看见了。”
25And Micaiah saith, `Lo, thou art seeing on that day, when thou goest in to the innermost chamber to be hidden.`
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，
26And the king of Israel saith, `Take Micaiah, and turn him back unto Amon head of the city, and unto Joash son of the king,
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。’”
27and thou hast said, Thus said the king, Place ye this one in the house of restraint, and cause him to eat bread of oppression, and water of oppression, till my coming in peace.`
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。”
28And Micaiah saith, `If thou at all return in peace — Jehovah hath not spoken by me;` and he saith, `Hear, O peoples, all of them.`
29亚哈阵亡（代下18:28-34）于是，以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了。
29And the king of Israel goeth up, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, to Ramoth-Gilead.
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。
30And the king of Israel saith unto Jehoshaphat to disguise himself, and to go into battle, `And thou, put on thy garments.` And the king of Israel disguiseth himself, and goeth into battle.
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。”
31And the king of Aram commanded the heads of the charioteers whom he hath — thirty and two — saying, `Ye do not fight with small or with great, but with the king of Israel by himself.`
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。
32And it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing Jehoshaphat, that they said, `He [is] only the king of Israel;` and they turn aside to him to fight, and Jehoshaphat crieth out,
33战车长们一见他不是以色列王，就转回来，不追赶他了。
33and it cometh to pass, at the heads of the charioteers seeing that he [is] not the king of Israel, that they turn back from after him.
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。”
34And a man hath drawn with a bow, in his simplicity, and smiteth the king of Israel between the joinings and the coat of mail, and he saith to his charioteer, `Turn thy hand, and take me out from the camp, for I have become sick.`
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。
35And the battle increaseth on that day, and the king hath been caused to stand in the chariot, over-against Aram, and he dieth in the evening, and the blood of the wound runneth out unto the midst of the chariot,
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。”
36and he causeth the cry to pass over through the camp, at the going in of the sun, saying, `Each unto his city, and each unto his land.`
37王死了以后，人们把他送回撒玛利亚，埋葬在那里。
37And the king dieth, and cometh into Samaria, and they bury the king in Samaria;
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。
38and [one] rinseth the chariot by the pool of Samaria, and the dogs lick his blood — when the armour they had washed — according to the word of Jehovah that He spake.
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？
39And the rest of the matters of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40亚哈与他的列祖同睡，他的儿子亚哈谢接续他作王。
40And Ahab lieth with his fathers, and Ahaziah his son reigneth in his stead.
41约沙法作犹大王（代下17:1-6，20:31-21:1）以色列王亚哈第四年，亚撒的儿子约沙法登基作犹大王。
41And Jehoshaphat son of Asa hath reigned over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel,
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。
42Jehoshaphat [is] a son of thirty and five years in his reigning, and twenty and five years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
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）。
43And he walketh in all the way of Asa his father, he hath not turned aside from it, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah; only the high places have not turned aside, yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume in high places.
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）
44And Jehoshaphat maketh peace with the king of Israel;
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？
45and the rest of the matters of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he got, and with which he fought, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
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。
46And the remnant of the whoremongers who were left in the days of Asa his father he took away out of the land;
47那时，以东没有王，由总督统治。
47and there is no king in Edom; he set up a king.
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。
48Jehoshaphat made ships at Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, and they went not, for the ships were broken in Ezion-Geber.
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。
49Then said Ahaziah son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, `Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships;` and Jehoshaphat was not willing.
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。
50And Jehoshaphat lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoram his son reigneth in his stead.
51亚哈谢作以色列王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。
51Ahaziah son of Ahab hath reigned over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigneth over Israel two years,
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。
52and doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin,
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。
53and serveth the Baal, and boweth himself to it, and provoketh Jehovah, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
