Elijah told the king,“ The Lord says,‘ You have sent messengers to ask Baal- Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Did you go there to pray to that god for advice? Do you think there is no God in Israel? You will never leave the bed you are lying on. You can be sure that you will die!’ ”

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！’”

他对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘你派人去问以革伦的神明巴力‧西卜，是因为以色列中没有上帝可以让你求问他的话吗？所以你必不能下所上的床，你一定会死！’”

他对王说：“耶和华如此说：‘你派人去问以革伦的神明巴力‧西卜，是因为以色列中没有神可以让你求问他的话吗？所以你必不能下所上的床，你一定会死！’”

以利亚对王说：“耶和华说，‘你差人去求问以革伦的神明巴力·西卜，是因为以色列没有上帝可以求问吗？因此，你再也不能下床了，你必定死。’”

以利亚对亚哈谢说：“耶和华这样说：‘你差派使者去求问以革伦的神巴力．西卜，是因为以色列中没有神可以求问吗？因此，你必不能从你躺上去的那张床上下来，因为你必定死。’”

對王說：「耶和華如此說：『你差人去問以革倫神巴力‧西卜，豈因以色列中沒有神可以求問嗎？所以你必不下所上的牀，必定要死！』」

他對王說：「耶和華如此說：『你派人去問以革倫的神明巴力‧西卜，是因為以色列中沒有上帝可以讓你求問他的話嗎？所以你必不能下所上的床，你一定會死！』」

他對王說：「耶和華如此說：『你派人去問以革倫的神明巴力‧西卜，是因為以色列中沒有神可以讓你求問他的話嗎？所以你必不能下所上的床，你一定會死！』」

以利亞對王說：「耶和華說，『你差人去求問以革倫的神明巴力·西蔔，是因為以色列沒有上帝可以求問嗎？因此，你再也不能下床了，你必定死。』」

以利亞對亞哈謝說：“耶和華這樣說：‘你差派使者去求問以革倫的神巴力．西卜，是因為以色列中沒有神可以求問嗎？因此，你必不能從你躺上去的那張床上下來，因為你必定死。’”

對王說：『永恆主這麼說：「你既差遣使者去尋問以革倫的神巴力西卜——是不是因為以色列中沒有上帝可以讓你尋問他的話呢？——因此你所上的床、你必不能從那裏下來；你必定死。」』

謂之曰、耶和華云、以色列中豈無上帝、可以諮諏、乃遣使詢以革倫神巴力西卜乎、故爾所登之牀、不得再下、必死矣、

告王曰、耶和華云、爾遣人詢以革倫之上帝巴力西卜、在以色列中、豈無上帝、可以諮諏、故爾寢於床、不得再下、至於死亡。

謂王曰、主如是云、爾遣人問以革倫之神巴力西卜、以色列中豈無天主可問其言乎、故爾寢於床、不得再下、爾必死矣、

He told the king,“ This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”

and said to him,“ Thus says the Lord,‘ Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron— is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word?— therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’”

And Elijah said to the king,“ This is what the Lord says: Why did you send messengers to Baal zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether you will recover? Is there no God in Israel to answer your question? Therefore, because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.”

Then Elijah said to King Ahaziah,“ This is what the LORD says:‘ Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron— is it because there is no God in Israel for you to inquire of his will?— you will not get up from your sickbed; you will certainly die.’”

Then he said to him,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Since you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal zebub, the god of Ekron— is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word? Therefore you will not get down from the bed upon which you have lain, but you shall certainly die.’ ”

Then he said to him,“ Thus says the Lord:‘ Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’”

And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal- zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

Then Elijah said to King Ahaziah,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron— is it because there is no God in Israel for you to inquire of His will?— you will not get up from your sickbed; you will certainly die.’”

And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron,[ is it] not because[ there is] no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

Elijah said to the king,“ This is what the LORD says,‘ You sent messengers to seek an oracle from Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron. You must think there is no God in Israel from whom you can seek an oracle! Therefore you will not leave the bed you lie on, for you will certainly die.’”

He said to him,“ Yahweh says,‘ Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”

Ahaziah had fallen through the window of his upstairs room in Samaria. He had hurt himself. So he sent messengers to ask the god named Baal- Zebub for advice. Baal- Zebub was the god of the city of Ekron. Ahaziah said to the messengers,“ Go and ask Baal- Zebub whether I will get well again.”But the angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, who was from Tishbe. The angel said,“ Go up to see the messengers of Ahaziah, the king of Samaria. Tell them,‘ You are on your way to ask Baal- Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Are you going there to pray to that god? Do you think there is no God in Israel?’The Lord says to Ahaziah,‘ You will never leave the bed you are lying on. You can be sure that you will die!’ ” So Elijah went to see the messengers.

Gehazi hurried after Naaman. Naaman saw him running toward him. So he got down from the chariot to greet him.“ Is everything all right?” he asked.

Micaiah announced,“ Do you really think you will return safely? If you do, the Lord hasn’t spoken through me.” He continued,“ All of you people, remember what I’ve said!”

Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps at the door. He said,“ Come in. I know that you are Jeroboam’s wife. Why are you pretending to be someone else? I have some bad news for you.Go. Tell Jeroboam that the Lord has a message for him. The Lord is the God of Israel. He says,‘ I chose you from among the people. I appointed you king over my people Israel.I tore the kingdom away from the royal house of David. I gave it to you. But you have not been like my servant David. He obeyed my commands. He followed me with all his heart. He did only what was right in my eyes.You have done more evil things than all those who lived before you. You have made other gods for yourself. You have made statues of gods out of metal. You have made me very angry. You have turned your back on me.“‘ Because of that, I am going to bring horrible trouble on your royal house. I will cut off from you every male in Israel. It does not matter whether they are slaves or free. I will burn up your royal house, just as someone burns up trash. I will burn it until it is all gone.Some of the people who belong to you will die in the city. Dogs will eat them up. Others will die in the country. The birds will eat them. The Lord has spoken!’“ Now go back home. When you enter your city, your son will die.All the Israelites will mourn for him. Then he will be buried. He is the only one who belongs to Jeroboam who will be buried. That is because he is the only one in Jeroboam’s royal house in whom I have found anything good. I am the Lord, the God of Israel.

Then say to Pharaoh,‘ The Lord says,“ Israel is like an oldest son to me.I told you,‘ Let my son go. Then he will be able to worship me.’ But you refused to let him go. So I will kill your oldest son.” ’ ”

“ Go down to see Ahab, the king of Israel. He rules in Samaria. You will find him in Naboth’s vineyard. Ahab has gone there to take it over.Tell him,‘ The Lord says,“ Haven’t you murdered a man? Haven’t you taken over his property?” ’ Then tell Ahab,‘ The Lord says,“ Dogs licked up Naboth’s blood. In that same place dogs will lick up your blood. Yes, I said your blood!” ’ ”Ahab said to Elijah,“ My enemy! You have found me!”“ I have found you,” he answered.“ That’s because you gave yourself over to do evil things. You did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.So the Lord says,‘ I am going to bring horrible trouble on you. I will destroy your children after you. I will destroy every male in Israel who is related to you. It does not matter whether they are slaves or free.I will make your royal house like the house of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat. I will make it like the house of Baasha, the son of Ahijah. You have made me very angry. You have caused Israel to sin.’“ The Lord also says,‘ Dogs will eat up Jezebel near the wall of Jezreel.’“ Some of the people who belong to Ahab will die in the city. Dogs will eat them up. Others will die in the country. The birds will eat them.”

He said,“ I won’t enter my house or go to bed.

“ A man met us on our way there,” they replied.“ He said to us,‘ Go back to the king who sent you. Tell him,“ The Lord says,‘ You are sending messengers to ask Baal- Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Are you going there to pray to that god? Do you think there is no God in Israel? You will never leave the bed you are lying on. You can be sure that you will die!’ ” ’ ”
