亚哈谢求问巴力‧西卜

²亚哈谢在撒马利亚，一日从楼上的栏杆里掉下来，就病了；于是差遣使者说：“你们去问以革伦的神巴力·西卜，我这病能好不能好。”Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and instructed them: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”

以利亚拦住王的使者

³但耶和华的使者对提斯比人以利亚说：“你起来，去迎着撒马利亚王的使者，对他们说：‘你们去问以革伦神巴力·西卜，岂因以色列中没有　神吗？’But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are on your way to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?’

⁴所以耶和华如此说：‘你必不下你所上的床，必定要死！’”以利亚就去了。Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’” So Elijah departed.

⁶使者回答说：“有一个人迎着我们来，对我们说：‘你们回去见差你们来的王，对他说：耶和华如此说，你差人去问以革伦神巴力·西卜，岂因以色列中没有　神吗？所以你必不下所上的床，必定要死。’”They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”

⁷王问他们说：“迎着你们来告诉你们这话的，是怎样的人？”The king asked them, “What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?”

⁸回答说：“他身穿毛衣，腰束皮带。”王说：“这必是提斯比人以利亚。”“He was a hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around his waist.” “It was Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.

三个五十夫长

⁹于是，王差遣五十夫长，带领五十人去见以利亚，他就上到以利亚那里；以利亚正坐在山顶上。五十夫长对他说：“神人哪，王吩咐你下来！”Then King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down!’”

¹⁰以利亚回答说：“我若是神人，愿火从天上降下来，烧灭你和你那五十人！”于是有火从天上降下来，烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人。Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.

¹¹王第二次差遣一个五十夫长，带领五十人去见以利亚。五十夫长对以利亚说：“神人哪，王吩咐你快快下来！”So the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. And the captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down at once!’”

¹²以利亚回答说：“我若是神人，愿火从天上降下来，烧灭你和你那五十人！”于是　神的火从天上降下来，烧灭五十夫长和他那五十人。Again Elijah replied, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.

¹³王第三次差遣一个五十夫长，带领五十人去。这五十夫长上去，双膝跪在以利亚面前，哀求他说：“神人哪，愿我的性命和你这五十个仆人的性命在你眼前看为宝贵！So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. And the third captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, “Man of God, may my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours please be precious in your sight.

¹⁴已经有火从天上降下来，烧灭前两次来的五十夫长和他们各自带的五十人；现在愿我的性命在你眼前看为宝贵！”Behold, fire has come down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty, with all their men. But now may my life be precious in your sight.”

¹⁶对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘你差人去问以革伦神巴力·西卜，岂因以色列中没有　神可以求问吗？所以你必不下所上的床，必定要死！’”And Elijah said to King Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”

亚哈谢死，约兰接续

¹⁷亚哈谢果然死了，正如耶和华借以利亚所说的话。因他没有儿子，他兄弟约兰接续他作王，正在犹大王约沙法的儿子约兰第二年。So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD that Elijah had spoken. And since he had no son, Jehoram succeeded him in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat over Judah.

¹⁸亚哈谢其余所行的事都写在以色列诸王记上。As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

以利沙坚持不离开

¹耶和华要用旋风接以利亚升天的时候，以利亚与以利沙从吉甲前往。Shortly before the LORD took Elijah up to heaven in a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were on their way from Gilgal,

²以利亚对以利沙说：“耶和华差我往伯特利去，你可以在这里等候。”以利沙说：“我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不离开你。”于是二人下到伯特利。and Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel.

³住伯特利的先知门徒出来见以利沙，对他说：“耶和华今日要接你的师傅离开你，你知道不知道？”他说：“我知道，你们不要作声。”Then the sons of the prophets at Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”

⁴以利亚对以利沙说：“耶和华差遣我往耶利哥去，你可以在这里等候。”以利沙说：“我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不离开你。”于是二人到了耶利哥。And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho.

⁵住耶利哥的先知门徒就近以利沙，对他说：“耶和华今日要接你的师傅离开你，你知道不知道？”他说：“我知道，你们不要作声。”Then the sons of the prophets at Jericho came up to Elisha and said, “Do you know that the LORD will take your master away from you today?” “Yes, I know,” he replied. “Do not speak of it.”

⁶以利亚对以利沙说：“耶和华差遣我往约旦河去，你可以在这里等候。”以利沙说：“我指着永生的耶和华，又敢在你面前起誓，我必不离开你。”于是二人一同前往。And Elijah said to Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.

⁷有先知门徒去了五十人，远远地站在他们对面；二人在约旦河边站住。Then a company of fifty of the sons of the prophets went and stood at a distance, facing Elijah and Elisha as the two of them stood by the Jordan.

⁸以利亚将自己的外衣卷起来，用以打水，水就左右分开，二人走干地而过。And Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up, and struck the waters, which parted to the right and to the left, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

求加倍的灵

⁹过去之后，以利亚对以利沙说：“我未曾被接去离开你，你要我为你做什么，只管求我。”以利沙说：“愿感动你的灵加倍地感动我。”After they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken away from you?” “Please, let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.

¹⁰以利亚说：“你所求的难得。虽然如此，我被接去离开你的时候，你若看见我，就必得着；不然，必得不着了。”“You have requested a difficult thing,” said Elijah. “Nevertheless, if you see me as I am taken from you, it will be yours. But if not, then it will not be so.”

以利亚乘旋风升天

¹¹他们正走着说话，忽有火车火马将二人隔开，以利亚就乘旋风升天去了。As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire with horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up into heaven in a whirlwind.

¹²以利沙看见，就呼叫说：“我父啊！我父啊！以色列的战车马兵啊！”以后不再见他了。于是以利沙把自己的衣服撕为两片。As Elisha watched, he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And he saw Elijah no more. So taking hold of his own clothes, he tore them in two.

以利沙用外衣分开约旦河

¹³他拾起以利亚身上掉下来的外衣，回去站在约旦河边。Elisha also picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah, and he went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.

¹⁴他用以利亚身上掉下来的外衣打水，说：“耶和华—以利亚的　神在哪里呢？”打水之后，水也左右分开，以利沙就过来了。Then he took the cloak of Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the waters. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. And when he had struck the waters, they parted to the right and to the left, and Elisha crossed over.

先知门徒寻找以利亚

¹⁵住耶利哥的先知门徒从对面看见他，就说：“感动以利亚的灵感动以利沙了。”他们就来迎接他，在他面前俯伏于地，When the sons of the prophets who were watching him from Jericho saw what had happened, they said, “The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him.

¹⁶对他说：“仆人们这里有五十个壮士，求你容他们去寻找你师傅，或者耶和华的灵将他提起来，投在某山某谷。”以利沙说：“你们不必打发人去。”“Look now,” they said to Elisha, “we your servants have fifty valiant men. Please let them go and search for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and put him on one of the mountains or in one of the valleys.” “Do not send them,” Elisha replied.

¹⁷他们再三催促他，他难以推辞，就说：“你们打发人去吧！”他们便打发五十人去，寻找了三天，也没有找着。But when they pressed him to the point of embarrassment, he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find Elijah.

¹⁸以利沙仍然在耶利哥等候他们回到他那里；他对他们说：“我岂没有告诉你们不必去吗？”When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”

羊圈的比喻

¹“我实实在在地告诉你们，人进羊圈，不从门进去，倒从别处爬进去，那人就是贼，就是强盗。“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.

²从门进去的，才是羊的牧人。But the one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

³看门的就给他开门；羊也听他的声音。他按着名叫自己的羊，把羊领出来。The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

⁴既放出自己的羊来，就在前头走，羊也跟着他，因为认得他的声音。When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.

⁵羊不跟着生人；因为不认得他的声音，必要逃跑。”But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

⁶耶稣将这比喻告诉他们，但他们不明白所说的是什么意思。Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.

我就是羊的门

⁷所以，耶稣又对他们说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，我就是羊的门。So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.

⁸凡在我以先来的都是贼，是强盗；羊却不听他们。All who came before Me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.

⁹我就是门；凡从我进来的，必然得救，并且出入得草吃。I am the gate. If anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.

¹⁰盗贼来，无非要偷窃，杀害，毁坏；我来了，是要叫羊（或译：人）得生命，并且得的更丰盛。The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.

我是好牧人

¹¹我是好牧人；好牧人为羊舍命。I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.

¹²若是雇工，不是牧人，羊也不是他自己的，他看见狼来，就撇下羊逃走；狼抓住羊，赶散了羊群。The hired hand is not the shepherd, and the sheep are not his own. When he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf pounces on them and scatters the flock.

¹³雇工逃走，因他是雇工，并不顾念羊。The man runs away because he is a hired servant and is unconcerned for the sheep.

¹⁴我是好牧人；我认识我的羊，我的羊也认识我，I am the good shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,

¹⁵正如父认识我，我也认识父一样；并且我为羊舍命。just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.

合成一群，归一个牧人

¹⁶我另外有羊，不是这圈里的；我必须领他们来，他们也要听我的声音，并且要合成一群，归一个牧人了。I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them in as well, and they will listen to My voice. Then there will be one flock and one shepherd.

¹⁷我父爱我；因我将命舍去，好再取回来。The reason the Father loves Me is that I lay down My life in order to take it up again.

¹⁸没有人夺我的命去，是我自己舍的。我有权柄舍了，也有权柄取回来。这是我从我父所受的命令。”No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of My own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This charge I have received from My Father.”

犹太人又起纷争

¹⁹犹太人为这些话又起了纷争。Again there was division among the Jews because of Jesus’ message.

²⁰内中有好些人说：“他是被鬼附着，而且疯了，为什么听他呢？”Many of them said, “He is demon-possessed and insane. Why would you listen to Him?”

²¹又有人说：“这不是鬼附之人所说的话。鬼岂能叫瞎子的眼睛开了呢？”But others replied, “These are not the words of a man possessed by a demon. Can a demon open the eyes of the blind?”
