A A A A A
1
過了許久、到第三年、耶和華的話臨到以利亞、說、你去、使亞哈得見你.我要降雨在地上。

After a long time, in the third year, the word of the LORD came to Elijah: "Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land."
2
以利亞就去、要使亞哈得見他。那時撒瑪利亞有大饑荒。

So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria,
3
亞哈將他的家宰俄巴底召了來。俄巴底甚是敬畏耶和華。

and Ahab had summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of his palace. (Obadiah was a devout believer in the LORD.
4
耶洗別殺耶和華眾先知的時候、俄巴底將一百個先知藏了、每五十人藏在一個洞裡、拿餅和水供養他們。

While Jezebel was killing off the LORD'S prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water.)
5
亞哈對俄巴底說、我們走遍這地、到一切水泉旁、和一切溪邊、或者找得著青草、可以救活騾馬、免得絕了牲畜。

Ahab had said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals."
6
於是二人分地遊行、亞哈獨走一路、俄巴底獨走一路。

So they divided the land they were to cover, Ahab going in one direction and Obadiah in another.
7
俄巴底在路上恰與以利亞相遇、俄巴底認出他來、就俯伏在地、說、你是我主以利亞不是。

As Obadiah was walking along, Elijah met him. Obadiah recognized him, bowed down to the ground, and said, "Is it really you, my lord Elijah?"
8
回答說、是、你去告訴你主人、說、以利亞在這裡。

"Yes," he replied. "Go tell your master, 'Elijah is here.'"
9
俄巴底說、僕人有甚麼罪、你竟要將我交在亞哈手裡、使他殺我呢。

"What have I done wrong," asked Obadiah, "that you are handing your servant over to Ahab to be put to death?
10
我指著永生耶和華你的 神起誓、無論那一邦、那一國、我主都打發人去找你.若說你沒有在那裡、就必使那邦那國的人起誓、說、實在是找不著你。

As surely as the LORD your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to look for you. And whenever a nation or kingdom claimed you were not there, he made them swear they could not find you.
11
現在你說、要去告訴你主人、說、以利亞在這裡.

But now you tell me to go to my master and say, 'Elijah is here.'
12
恐怕我一離開你、耶和華的靈、就提你到我所不知道的地方去.這樣我去告訴亞哈、他若找不著你、就必殺我.僕人卻是自幼敬畏耶和華的。

I don't know where the Spirit of the LORD may carry you when I leave you. If I go and tell Ahab and he doesn't find you, he will kill me. Yet I your servant have worshiped the LORD since my youth.
13
耶洗別殺耶和華眾先知的時候、我將耶和華的一百個先知藏了、每五十人藏在一個洞裡、拿餅和水供養他們、豈沒有人將這事告訴我主麼。

Haven't you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD? I hid a hundred of the LORD'S prophets in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water.
14
現在你說、要去告訴你主人、說、以利亞在這裡、他必殺我。

And now you tell me to go to my master and say, 'Elijah is here.' He will kill me!"
15
以利亞說、我指著所事奉永生的萬軍之耶和華起誓、我今日必使亞哈得見我。

Elijah said, "As the LORD Almighty lives, whom I serve, I will surely present myself to Ahab today."
16
於是俄巴底去迎著亞哈告訴他.亞哈就去迎著以利亞。

So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17
亞哈見了以利亞、便說、使以色列遭災的就是你麼。

When he saw Elijah, he said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?"
18
以利亞說、使以色列遭災的不是我、乃是你、和你父家、因為你們離棄耶和華的誡命、去隨從巴力。

"I have not made trouble for Israel," Elijah replied. "But you and your father's family have. You have abandoned the LORD'S commands and have followed the Baals.
19
現在你當差遣人、招聚以色列眾人、和事奉巴力的那四百五十個先知、並耶洗別所供養事奉亞舍拉的那四百個先知、使他們都上迦密山去見我。

Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."
20
亞哈就差遣人招聚以色列眾人、和先知、都上迦密山。

So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel.
21
以利亞前來、對眾民說、你們心持兩意要到幾時呢.若耶和華是 神、就當順從耶和華.若巴力是 神、就當順從巴力.眾民一言不答。

Elijah went before the people and said, "How long will you waver between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him." But the people said nothing.
22
以利亞對眾民說、作耶和華先知的、只剩下我一個人.巴力的先知、卻有四百五十個人。

Then Elijah said to them, "I am the only one of the LORD'S prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets.
23
當給我們兩隻牛犢.巴力的先知可以挑選一隻、切成塊子、放在柴上、不要點火.我也豫備一隻牛犢、放在柴上、也不點火。

Get two bulls for us. Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it.
24
你們求告你們神的名、我也求告耶和華的名.那降火顯應的神、就是 神。眾民回答說、這話甚好。

Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD. The god who answers by fire--he is God." Then all the people said, "What you say is good."
25
以利亞對巴力的先知說、你們既是人多、當先挑選一隻牛犢.豫備好了、就求告你們神的名.卻不要點火。

Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you. Call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire."
26
他們將所得的牛犢豫備好了、從早晨到午間、求告巴力的名、說、巴力阿、求你應允我們.卻沒有聲音、沒有應允的。他們在所築的壇、四圍踊跳。

So they took the bull given them and prepared it. Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. "O Baal, answer us!" they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made.
27
到了正午、以利亞嬉笑他們、說、大聲求告罷.因為他是神、他或默想、或走到一邊、或行路、或睡覺、你們當叫醒他。

At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout louder!" he said. "Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened."
28
他們大聲求告、按著他們的規矩、用刀槍自割、自刺、直到身體流血。

So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed.
29
從午後直到獻晚祭的時候、他們狂呼亂叫.卻沒有聲音、沒有應允的、也沒有理會的。

Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention.
30
以利亞對眾民說、你們到我這裡來.眾民就到他那裡。他便重修已經毀壞耶和華的壇。

Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come here to me." They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the LORD, which was in ruins.
31
以利亞照雅各子孫支派的數目、取了十二塊石頭、(耶和華的話、曾臨到雅各、說、你的名要叫以色列)

Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, "Your name shall be Israel."
32
用這些石頭為耶和華的名築一座壇、在壇的四圍挖溝、可容穀種二細亞、

With the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
33
又在壇上擺好了柴、把牛犢切成塊子、放在柴上、對眾人說、你們用四個桶盛滿水、倒在燔祭和柴上.

He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, "Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood."
34
又說、倒第二次.他們就倒第二次.又說、倒第三次.他們就倒第三次。

"Do it again," he said, and they did it again. "Do it a third time," he ordered, and they did it the third time.
35
水流在壇的四圍、溝裡也滿了水。

The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
36
到了獻晚祭的時候、先知以利亞近前來、說、亞伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的 神、耶和華阿、求你今日使人知道你是以色列的 神、也知道我是你的僕人、又是奉你的命行這一切事。

At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O LORD, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
37
耶和華阿、求你應允我、應允我、使這民知道你耶和華是 神、又知道是你叫這民的心回轉。

Answer me, O LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, O LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."
38
於是耶和華降下火來、燒盡燔祭、木柴、石頭、塵土、又燒乾溝裡的水。

Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.
39
眾民看見了、就俯伏在地、說、耶和華是 神、耶和華是 神。

When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The LORD--he is God! The LORD--he is God!"
40
以利亞對他們說、拿住巴力的先知、不容一人逃脫。眾人就拿住他們.以利亞帶他們到基順河邊、在那裡殺了他們。

Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Don't let anyone get away!" They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.
41
以利亞對亞哈說、你現在可以上去喫喝、因為有多雨的響聲了。

And Elijah said to Ahab, "Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain."
42
亞哈就上去喫喝。以利亞上了迦密山頂、屈身在地、將臉伏在兩膝之中.

So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
43
對僕人說、你上去、向海觀看。僕人就上去觀看、說、沒有甚麼。他說你再去觀看、如此七次。

"Go and look toward the sea," he told his servant. And he went up and looked. "There is nothing there," he said. Seven times Elijah said, "Go back."
44
第七次僕人說、我看見有一小片雲從海裡上來、不過如人手那樣大。以利亞說、你上去、告訴亞哈、當套車下去、免得被雨阻擋。

The seventh time the servant reported, "A cloud as small as a man's hand is rising from the sea." So Elijah said, "Go and tell Ahab, 'Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.'"
45
霎時間天因風雲黑暗、降下大雨。亞哈就坐車、往耶斯列去了。

Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain came on and Ahab rode off to Jezreel.
46
耶和華的靈〔原文作手〕降在以利亞身上、他就束上腰、奔在亞哈前頭、直到耶斯列的城門。

The power of the LORD came upon Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
