过了很久,到第三年,耶和华的话临到以利亚说,你去,使亚哈看见你,我要降雨在地上。
这样发了,过了很多日子,主的话在第三年来到以利亚那里,说,去,把你自己显给阿哈布;我要送雨到这地上。
过了许久,到第三年,耶和华的话临到以利亚说:“你去,使亚哈得见你;我要降雨在地上。”
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
- 2
以利亚就去,要使亚哈看见他。那时,撒玛利亚有大饥荒,
然后以利亚就去把他自己显给阿哈布。撒玛利亚里有严重的饥荒。
以利亚就去,要使亚哈得见他。那时,撒玛利亚有大饥荒;
And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.
- 3
亚哈将他的家宰俄巴底亚召了来。(俄巴底亚十分畏惧耶和华;
阿哈布就把他家的执政官奥巴迪亚叫来。(奥巴迪亚十分畏惧主;
亚哈将他的家宰俄巴底召了来。(俄巴底甚是敬畏耶和华,
And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
- 4
耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候,俄巴底亚将一百个先知藏了,每五十人藏在一个洞里,拿饼和水供养他们。)
因为是这样的,当耶泽贝尔剪除主的众预言者的时候,奥巴迪亚带领一百个预言者,把他们每五十个人藏在一个洞里,又用饼和水喂养他们。)
耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候,俄巴底将一百个先知藏了,每五十人藏在一个洞里,拿饼和水供养他们。)
For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
- 5
亚哈对俄巴底亚说,我们走遍这地,到一切水泉旁和一切溪边,或者找得着青草,可以救活骡马,免得绝了牲畜。
阿哈布对奥巴迪亚说,走,进入这土地,到所有水源旁和所有溪流边;或许我们可以找到青草来救活马和骡子,使我们不会失去所有的兽。
亚哈对俄巴底说:“我们走遍这地,到一切水泉旁和一切溪边,或者找得着青草,可以救活骡马,免得绝了牲畜。”
And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
- 6
于是二人分地经过,亚哈独走一路,俄巴底亚独走一路。
所以他们就在他们之间分开土地,为要走遍它;阿哈布自己走一条路,奥巴迪亚自己走另一条路。
于是二人分地游行,亚哈独走一路,俄巴底独走一路。
So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
- 7
俄巴底亚在路上,看啊,以利亚遇见他,他认识他,就脸俯伏于地,说,你是不是我主以利亚?
当奥巴迪亚在路上的时候,看啊,以利亚遇见他;他认识他,就伏下他的脸,说,你是我主以利亚吗?
俄巴底在路上恰与以利亚相遇,俄巴底认出他来,就俯伏在地,说:“你是我主以利亚不是?”
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah?
- 8
他回答说,我是。去告诉你主人,看啊,以利亚在这里。
以利亚回答他,我是;去,告诉你的主,看啊,以利亚在这里。
回答说:“是。你去告诉你主人说,以利亚在这里。”
And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
- 9
俄巴底亚说,我有什么罪,你竟要将你的仆人交在亚哈手里,使他杀我呢?
他说,我有什么罪,你要把你仆人交在阿哈布的手里,来杀我呢?
俄巴底说:“仆人有什么罪,你竟要将我交在亚哈手里,使他杀我呢?
And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
- 10
正如耶和华你的神活着,无论哪一邦哪一国,我主都派人去找你。若说你没有在那里,就必使那邦那国的人起誓说,他们找不着你。
正如主你的神活着,我主曾派人到处去找你,没有哪一国或王国,没派人去;当他们说,他不在那里,他就要那王国和那国发个誓说,他们找不到你。
我指着永生耶和华你的 神起誓,无论哪一邦哪一国,我主都打发人去找你。若说你没有在那里,就必使那邦那国的人起誓说,实在是找不着你。
As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
- 11
现在你说,去告诉你的主,看啊,以利亚在这里,
你现在说,去,告诉你的主,看啊,以利亚在这里。
现在你说,要去告诉你主人说,以利亚在这里;
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
- 12
它必发生,一旦我离开你,耶和华的灵就提你到我所不知道的地方去。这样,我去告诉亚哈,他若找不着你,就必杀我,仆人却是自幼畏惧耶和华的。
会这样发生,我一离开你,主的灵就会把你带到我不知道的地方;于是当我告诉阿哈布时,他又找不到你,他就会杀了我;但我-你的仆人从青年时就畏惧主。
恐怕我一离开你,耶和华的灵就提你到我所不知道的地方去。这样,我去告诉亚哈,他若找不着你,就必杀我;仆人却是自幼敬畏耶和华的。
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
- 13
耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候,我将耶和华的一百个先知藏了,每五十人藏在一个洞里,拿饼和水供养他们,难道没有人将这事告诉我主吗?
当耶泽贝尔杀主的众预言者的时候,我怎么把主的一百个预言者每五十人藏在一个洞里,并用饼和水喂养他们,难道没有人把我做的告诉我主?
耶洗别杀耶和华众先知的时候,我将耶和华的一百个先知藏了,每五十人藏在一个洞里,拿饼和水供养他们,岂没有人将这事告诉我主吗?
Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
- 14
现在你说,要去告诉你主人,看啊,以利亚在这里,他必杀我。
现在你说,去,告诉你的主,看啊,以利亚在这里;他会杀了我。
现在你说,要去告诉你主人说,以利亚在这里,他必杀我。”
And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
- 15
以利亚说,正如我所服侍的万军之耶和华活着,我今天必使亚哈看见我。
以利亚说,正如我所站在他面前的众军之主活着,我今天一定会把我自己显给他。
以利亚说:“我指着所侍奉永生的万军之耶和华起誓,我今日必使亚哈得见我。”
And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
- 16
于是俄巴底亚去迎着亚哈,告诉他,亚哈就去迎着以利亚。
于是奥巴迪亚去见阿哈布,并告诉他;阿哈布就去见以利亚。
于是俄巴底去迎着亚哈,告诉他;亚哈就去迎着以利亚。
So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
- 17
亚哈见了以利亚,亚哈对他说,使以色列遭灾的就是你吗?
这样发生了,当阿哈布见到以利亚时,阿哈布对他说,搅扰以色列的就是你吗?
亚哈见了以利亚,便说:“使以色列遭灾的就是你吗?”
And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
- 18
他回答:使以色列遭灾的不是我,而是你和你父家,因为你们离弃耶和华的诫命,去随从巴力。
他回答,我没有搅扰以色列;而是你和你的父亲家,因你们离弃主的诫命,你又去跟随巴尔。
以利亚说:“使以色列遭灾的不是我,乃是你和你父家;因为你们离弃耶和华的诫命,去随从巴力。
And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
- 19
现在你去招聚以色列众人和侍奉巴力的那四百五十个先知,并耶洗别所供养侍奉木偶的那四百个先知,使他们都上迦密山去见我。
因此现在去聚集全以色列和巴尔的四百五十个预言者,并在耶泽贝尔桌上吃的那些侍奉众树社的四百个预言者,派他们去卡梅尔山到我那里。
现在你当差遣人,招聚以色列众人和侍奉巴力的那四百五十个先知,并耶洗别所供养侍奉亚舍拉的那四百个先知,使他们都上迦密山去见我。”
Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
- 20
亚哈就差人招聚所有以色列儿女和先知都上迦密山。
所以阿哈布就派人到所有以色列孩子们那里,又聚集了众预言者去到卡梅尔山。
亚哈就差遣人招聚以色列众人和先知都上迦密山。
So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
- 21
以利亚前来对众民说,你们心持两意要多久呢?若耶和华是神,就跟随他,若巴力是神,那么就跟随他。众民一言不答。
以利亚就来对所有人民说,你们在两个意见之间跛脚还要多久?如果主是神,就跟随他;但如果巴尔是,那么就跟随他。人民一句话也不回答他。
以利亚前来对众民说:“你们心持两意要到几时呢?若耶和华是 神,就当顺从耶和华;若巴力是 神,就当顺从巴力。”众民一言不答。
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
- 22
以利亚对众民说,作耶和华先知的只剩下我一个人,巴力的先知却有四百五十个人。
于是以利亚对人民说,我,就只有我,仍然作主的预言者;但巴尔的预言者有四百五十人。
以利亚对众民说:“作耶和华先知的只剩下我一个人;巴力的先知却有四百五十个人。
Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
- 23
当给我们两只牛犊,巴力的先知可以挑选一只,切成块子,放在柴上,不要点火,我也预备一只牛犊放在柴上,也不点火。
因此让他们给我们两只小公牛;让他们为自己挑选一只小公牛,把它切成块,放在柴上,不要点火;我会处理另一只小公牛,把它放在柴上,也不点火;
当给我们两只牛犊,巴力的先知可以挑选一只,切成块子,放在柴上,不要点火;我也预备一只牛犊放在柴上,也不点火。
Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
- 24
你们求告你们众神的名,我也求告耶和华的名。那借火回答的神,就是神。众民回答说,这话很好。
你们呼叫你们众神的名,我也呼叫主的名;那用火来回答的,他才是神。所有人民回答说,讲得好。
你们求告你们神的名,我也求告耶和华的名。那降火显应的 神,就是 神。”众民回答说:“这话甚好。”
And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.
- 25
以利亚对巴力的众先知说,你们既是人多,当先挑选一只牛犊,预备好了,就求告你们众神的名,却不要点火。
以利亚对巴尔的众预言者说,为你们自己挑选一只小公牛,先处理好它;因你们人多;然后呼叫你们的众神的名,但不要点火。
以利亚对巴力的先知说:“你们既是人多,当先挑选一只牛犊,预备好了,就求告你们神的名,却不要点火。”
And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.

And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
- 27
到了正午,以利亚嘲笑他们,说,大声求告吧。因为他是神,他或说话,或赶路,或行路,或睡觉,必须叫醒他。
到了正午这样发生了,以利亚笑话他们,说,大声呼喊;因为他是一位神;也许他在说话,或在赶路,或在旅程中,或许他在睡觉,必须叫醒他。
