代下18:1 约沙法的财富很多，极有尊荣，他和亚哈也结了亲。
代下18:1 Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.
代下18:2 过了几年，他下到撒玛利亚去见亚哈。亚哈为他和跟从他的人宰了很多牛羊，又怂恿他一同上去攻打基列的拉末。
代下18:2 And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.
代下18:3 以色列王亚哈问犹大王约沙法：“你愿意和我一同到基列的拉末去吗？”他回答：“你我不分彼此；我的人民就是你的人民；我必和你一同作战。”
代下18:3 For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.
代下18:4 约沙法对以色列王说：“请你先求问耶和华的话。”
代下18:4 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
代下18:5 于是以色列王召集了四百位先知，问他们：“我们可以到基列的拉末去作战吗？还是不要去呢？”他们回答：“你可以上去， 神必把那城交在王的手里。”
代下18:5 So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, 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 God will give it into the hands of the king.
代下18:6 约沙法问：“这里不是还有一位耶和华的先知吗？我们也可以向他求问。”
代下18:6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
代下18:7 以色列王回答约沙法说：“还有一个人，我们可以向他求问耶和华；只是我不喜欢他，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。”约沙法说：“王不要这样说。”
代下18:7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
代下18:8 于是以色列王召了一个太监来，说：“快去把音拉的儿子米该雅召来。”
代下18:8 Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.
代下18:9 那时，以色列王和犹大王约沙法各自坐在王位上，穿着朝服，坐在撒玛利亚城门口的广场上；所有的先知都在他们面前说预言。
代下18:9 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.
代下18:10 基拿拿的儿子西底家自己做了些铁角，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。’”
代下18:10 And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself iron horns and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
代下18:11 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。”
代下18:11 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.
代下18:12 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。”
代下18:12 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.
代下18:13 米该雅说：“我指着永活的耶和华起誓，我的 神说什么，我就说什么。”
代下18:13 And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
代下18:14 米该雅来到王那里，王问他：“米该雅啊，我们可以到基列的拉末作战吗？还是不要去呢？”他回答：“可以上去，一定得胜，他们必交在你们手里。”
代下18:14 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 he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and they will be given up into your hands.
代下18:15 王对他说：“我要嘱咐你多少次，你才会奉耶和华的名对我只说真话呢？”
代下18:15 And 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?
代下18:16 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：‘这些人既然没有主人，使他们平平安安各自回家去吧！’”
代下18:16 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.
代下18:17 以色列王对约沙法说：“我不是早告诉你，他对我说的预言，总没有吉话，只说凶话吗？”
代下18:17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good to me, but of evil?
代下18:18 米该雅说：“所以你们要听耶和华的话。我看见耶和华坐在宝座上，天上的万军侍立在他左右。
代下18:18 Then he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, and all the army of heaven in their places, at his right hand and at his left.
代下18:19 耶和华说：‘谁去引诱以色列王亚哈上去，好使他倒毙在基列的拉末呢？’有人这样说，也有人那样说。
代下18:19 And the Lord said, How may Ahab, king of Israel, be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.
代下18:20 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：‘你怎样引诱他呢？’
代下18:20 Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick. And the Lord said to him, How?
代下18:21 他回答：‘我要出去，在他众先知的口里成为谎言的灵。’耶和华说：‘你必能引诱他，并且可以成功；你去这样行吧。’
代下18:21 And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
代下18:22 所以现在耶和华把谎言的灵放在你这些先知的口里，并且耶和华已宣告灾祸必临到你。”
代下18:22 And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of these prophets of yours; and the Lord has said evil against you.
代下18:23 基拿拿的儿子西底家走前来，打米该雅的脸，说：“耶和华的灵是怎样离开了我，去与你说话呢？”
代下18:23 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
代下18:24 米该雅说：“你进密室躲藏的那一天，就必看见了。”
代下18:24 And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
代下18:25 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，
代下18:25 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;
代下18:26 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。’”
代下18:26 And say, By the king's order this man is to be put in prison, and given prison food till I come back in peace.
代下18:27 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！”
代下18:27 And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.
代下18:28 于是，以色列王和犹大王约沙法上基列的拉末去了。
代下18:28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.
代下18:29 以色列王对约沙法说：“我要改装上阵，你可以仍穿朝服。”于是以色列王改了装，他们就上阵去了。
代下18:29 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 they went to the fight.
代下18:30 原来亚兰王曾经吩咐他的战车队长说：“无论是大小的将兵，你们都不要和他们交战，只管攻击以色列王。”
代下18:30 Now the king of Aram had given orders to the captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.
代下18:31 众战车队长看见约沙法，就都心里说：“这必是以色列王。”于是都绕过去攻击他。约沙法呼救，耶和华就帮助他； 神又使敌人离开他。
代下18:31 So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.
代下18:32 众战车队长见他不是以色列王，就转回去，不再追击他了。
代下18:32 Now when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.
代下18:33 有一人随意拉弓，竟射进了以色列王的铠甲中间的缝隙里。王对驾车的说：“你把车转过来，载我出阵吧，因为我受了重伤。”
代下18:33 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.
代下18:34 那天战事越来越激烈；以色列王勉强站在战车上，对抗亚兰人，直到黄昏。日落的时候，王就死了。
代下18:34 But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king of Israel was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans till the evening; and by sundown he was dead.
