1Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for Yahweh has called for a famine. It shall also come on the land seven years.”
1書念婦人復得她的產業以利沙告訴那婦人（她的兒子曾被以利沙救活），說：“你和你全家要動身，離開這裡，住在你可以寄居的地方，因為耶和華宣布了將有饑荒，這饑荒要臨到這地七年。”
2The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years.
2那婦人就動身，按照神人所說的去作。她和她的全家離去，住在非利士地七年。
3It happened at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.
3七年結束的時候，那婦人從非利士地回來，就去為自己的房屋、田產哀求王。
4Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
4那時王正在和神人的僕人基哈西交談，說：“請你向我講述以利沙所作的一切大事。”
5It happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
5他正向王講述以利沙叫死人復活的事的時候；看哪，以利沙曾救活她的兒子的那婦人來為她的房屋、田產哀求王。基哈西說：“我主我王，這就是那婦人了，她的這個兒子就是以利沙救活的了。”
6When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.”
6王問那婦人，她就告訴他一切事。於是王指派一個太監給他，說：“把所有屬於她的，以及從她離開此地直到現在，她田地的一切出產都歸還她。”
7Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. It was told him, saying, “The man of God has come here.”
7亞蘭王便．哈達患病以利沙來到大馬士革。亞蘭王便．哈達患了病。有人告訴他說：“神人來到這裡了。”
8The king said to Hazael, “Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of Yahweh by him, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
8王對哈薛說：“你帶著禮物，去見神人，託他求問耶和華說：‘我這病能痊愈嗎？’”
9So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, and came and stood before him, and said, “Your son Benhadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, ‘Will I recover from this sickness?’”
9於是哈薛去見以利沙。他帶著禮物，就是大馬士革各樣的美物，由四十匹駱駝馱著，去站在他的面前，說：“你的兒子亞蘭王便．哈達派我到你這裡來，問你說：‘我這病能痊愈嗎？’”
10Elisha said to him, “Go, tell him, ‘You shall surely recover;’ however Yahweh has shown me that he shall surely die.”
10以利沙對他說：“你去告訴他說：‘你一定會痊愈的’，但耶和華指示我，他一定要死。”
11He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept.
11以利沙定睛看著他，直到他感到侷促不安；然後，神人哭了起來。
12Hazael said, “Why do you weep, my lord?” He answered, “Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child.”
12哈薛說：“我主為甚麼哭起來了？”他回答：“因為我已知道你要對以色列人施行的惡事。他們的城堡，你要放火焚燒；他們的年輕人，你要用刀殺死；他們的嬰孩，你要摔死；他們的孕婦，你要剖開。”
13Hazael said, “But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?” Elisha answered, “Yahweh has shown me that you will be king over Syria.”
13哈薛說：“你僕人算甚麼？不過是一條狗罷了；怎可以作這樣的大事呢？”以利沙說：“耶和華已指示我，你要作王統治亞蘭。”
14Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, “What did Elisha say to you?” He answered, “He told me that you would surely recover.”
14於是他離開以利沙，回到他主人那裡。便．哈達對他說：“以利沙對你說了些甚麼呢？”他說：“他對我說：‘你一定痊愈的。’”
15It happened on the next day, that he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.
15便．哈達被殺身亡第二天，哈薛拿被窩浸在水裡，然後蒙住便．哈達的面，他就死了；於是哈薛接續他作王。
16In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being king of Judah then, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign.
16約蘭作猶大王（代下21:1~7）以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭第五年，猶大王約沙法還在的時候，猶大王約沙法的兒子約蘭登基作了王。
17He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
17他登基時是三十二歲；在耶路撒冷作王八年。
18He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife. He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.
18他照著以色列諸王的道路而行，好像亞哈家所行的；因為他娶了亞哈的女兒為妻，並且行耶和華看為惡的事。
19However Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.
19但耶和華因他僕人大衛的緣故不願毀滅猶大，卻要照他應許大衛的，賜給他和他的後裔永遠有香燈延續。
20In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.
20以東人和立拿人背叛猶大（代下21:8~10）約蘭王在位的日子，以東人反叛，脫離猶大人的手，自己立王統治本國。
21Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.
21於是約蘭過到撒益去，並且帶著他所有的戰車。他夜間起來攻擊包圍他和他的戰車軍長的以東人，他的軍民卻逃回自己的帳棚去了。
22So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.
22於是以東人背叛，脫離猶大人的手，直到今日；那時立拿人也同時背叛。
23The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
23約蘭其餘的事蹟和他所行的一切，不是都寫在猶大列王的年代誌上嗎？
24Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.
24約蘭和他的祖先同睡；人把他埋葬在大衛城和他的祖先一起；他的兒子亞哈謝接續他作王。
25In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign.
25亞哈謝作猶大王（代下22:1~6）以色列王亞哈的兒子約蘭在位第十二年，猶大王約蘭的兒子亞哈謝作猶大王。
26Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel.
26他登基時是二十二歲，在耶路撒冷作王一年。他母親名叫亞他利雅，是以色列王暗利的孫女。
27He walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.
27他照著亞哈家的道路而行，行耶和華看為惡的事，好像亞哈家一樣，因為他是亞哈家的女婿。
28He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead: and the Syrians wounded Joram.
28亞哈謝與亞哈的兒子約蘭往基列的拉末，同亞蘭王哈薛交戰；亞蘭人擊傷了約蘭。
29King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Syria. Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he was sick.
29約蘭於是回去，到耶斯列治傷，就是當他攻打亞蘭王哈薛時，亞蘭人在拉末擊傷他的。猶大王約蘭的兒子亞哈謝因為亞哈的兒子約蘭病了，所以下到耶斯列去探望他。
