열왕기하 1

1아합이 죽은 후에 모압이 이스라엘을 배반하였더라 2아하시야가 사마리아에 있는 그 다락 난간에서 떨어져 병들매 사자를 보내며 저희더러 이르되 가서 에그론의 신 바알세붑에게 이 병이 낫겠나 물어 보라 하니라 3여호와의 사자가 디셉 사람 엘리야에게 이르시되 너는 일어나 올라가서 사마리아 왕의 사자를 만나서 저에게 이르기를 이스라엘에 하나님이 없어서 너희가 에그론의 신 바알세붑에게 물으러 가느냐 4그러므로 여호와의 말씀이 네가 올라간 침상에서 내려오지 못할지라 네가 반드시 죽으리라 하셨다 하라 엘리야가 이에 가니라 5사자들이 왕에게 돌아오니 왕이 이르되 너희는 어찌하여 돌아왔느냐 6저희가 고하되 한 사람이 올라와서 우리를 만나 이르되 너희는 너희를 보낸 왕에게로 돌아가서 저에게 고하기를 여호와의 말씀이 이스라엘에 하나님이 없어서 네가 에그론의 신 바알세붑에게 물으려고 보내느냐 그러므로 네가 올라간 침상에서 내려오지 못할지라 네가 반드시 죽으리라 하셨다 하라 하더이다 7왕이 저희에게 이르되 올라와서 너희를 만나 이 말을 너희에게 고한 그 사람의 모양이 어떠하더냐 8저희가 대답하되 그는 털이 많은 사람인데 허리에 가죽 띠를 띠었더이다 왕이 가로되 그는 디셉 사람 엘리야로다 9이에 오십부장과 그 오십 인을 엘리야에게로 보내매 저가 엘리야에게로 올라가서 본즉 산 꼭대기에 앉았는지라 저가 엘리야에게 이르되 하나님의 사람이여 왕의 말씀이 내려오라 하셨나이다 10엘리야가 오십부장에게 대답하여 가로되 내가 만일 하나님의 사람이면 불이 하늘에서 내려와서 너와 너의 오십 인을 사를지로다 하매 불이 곧 하늘에서 내려와서 저와 그 오십 인을 살랐더라 11왕이 다시 다른 오십부장과 그 오십 인을 엘리야에게로 보내니 저가 엘리야에게 일러 가로되 하나님의 사람이여 왕의 말씀이 속히 내려 오라 하셨나이다 12엘리야가 저희에게 대답하여 가로되 내가 만일 하나님의 사람이면 불이 하늘에서 내려와서 너와 너의 오십 인을 사를지로다 하매 하나님의 불이 곧 하늘에서 내려와서 저와 그 오십 인을 살랐더라 13왕이 세번째 오십부장과 그 오십 인을 보낸지라 셋째 오십부장이 올라가서 엘리야의 앞에 이르러 꿇어 엎드려 간구하여 가로되 하나님의 사람이여 원컨대 나의 생명과 당신의 종인 이 오십 인의 생명을 당신은 귀히 보소서 14불이 하늘에서 내려와서 전번의 오십부장 둘과 그 오십 인들을 살랐거니와 나의 생명을 당신은 귀히 보소서 하매 15여호와의 사자가 엘리야에게 이르되 너는 저를 두려워 말고 함께 내려가라 하신지라 엘리야가 곧 일어나 저와 함께 내려와서 왕에게 이르러 16고하되 여호와의 말씀이 네가 사자를 보내어 에그론의 신 바알세붑에게 물으려 하니 이스라엘에 그 말을 물을만한 하나님이 없음이냐 그러므로 네가 그 올라간 침상에서 내려오지 못할지라 네가 반드시 죽으리라 하셨다 하니라 17왕이 엘리야의 전한 여호와의 말씀대로 죽고 저가 아들이 없으므로 여호람이 대신하여 왕이 되니 유다 왕 여호사밧의 아들 여호람의 제이년이었더라 18아하시야의 남은 사적은 모두 이스라엘 왕 역대지략에 기록되지 아니하였느냐

1Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 2Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness.” 3But Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? 4Now therefore thus says Yahweh, “You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.”’” Elijah departed. 5The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?” 6They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”’” 7He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?” 8They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.” 9Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’” 10Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty. 11Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’” 12Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!” The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty. 13Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight. 14Behold, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.” 15Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” He arose, and went down with him to the king. 16He said to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘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 where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’” 17So he died according to Yahweh’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son. 18Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

1En Moab viel van Israel af, na Achabs dood. 2En Ahazia viel door een tralie in zijn opperzaal, die te Samaria was, en werd krank. En hij zond boden, en zeide tot hen: Gaat heen, vraagt Baal-Zebub, den god van Ekron, of ik van deze krankheid genezen zal. 3Maar de Engel des HEEREN sprak tot Elia, den Thisbiet: Maak u op, ga op, den boden des konings van Samaria tegemoet, en spreek tot hen: Is het, omdat er geen God in Israel is, dat gijlieden heengaat, om Baal-Zebub, den god van Ekron, te vragen? 4Daarom nu zegt de HEERE alzo: Gij zult niet afkomen van dat bed, waarop gij geklommen zijt, maar gij zult den dood sterven. En Elia ging weg. 5Zo kwamen de boden weder tot hem; en hij zeide tot hen: Wat is dit, dat gij wederkomt? 6En zij zeiden tot hem: Een man kwam op, ons tegemoet, en zeide tot ons: Gaat heen, keert weder tot den koning die u gezonden heeft, en spreekt tot hem: Zo zegt de HEERE: Is het, omdat er geen God in Israel is, dat gij zendt, om Baal-Zebub, den god van Ekron, te vragen? Daarom zult gij van dat bed, waarop gij geklommen zijt, niet afkomen, maar gij zult den dood sterven. 7En hij sprak tot hen: Hoedanig was de gestalte des mans, die u tegemoet opgekomen is, en deze woorden tot u gesproken heeft? 8En zij zeiden tot hem: Hij was een man met een harig kleed, en met een lederen gordel gegord om zijn lenden. Toen zeide hij: Het is Elia, de Thisbiet. 9En hij zond tot hem een hoofdman van vijftig met zijn vijftigen. En als hij tot hem opkwam (want ziet, hij zat op de hoogte eens bergs), zo sprak hij tot hem: Gij man Gods! de koning zegt: Kom af. 10Maar Elia antwoordde en sprak tot den hoofdman van vijftigen: Indien ik dan een man Gods ben, zo dale vuur van den hemel, en vertere u en uw vijftigen. Toen daalde vuur van den hemel, en verteerde hem en zijn vijftigen. 11En hij zond wederom tot hem een anderen hoofdman van vijftig met zijn vijftigen. Deze antwoordde en sprak tot hem: Gij, man Gods! zo zegt de koning: Kom haastelijk af. 12En Elia antwoordde en sprak tot hem: Ben ik een man Gods, zo dale vuur van den hemel, en vertere u en uw vijftigen. Toen daalde vuur Gods van den hemel en verteerde hem en zijn vijftigen. 13En wederom zond hij een hoofdman van de derde vijftigen met zijn vijftigen. Zo ging de derde hoofdman van vijftigen op, en kwam en boog zich op zijn knieen, voor Elia, en smeekte hem, en sprak tot hem: Gij, man Gods, laat toch mijn ziel en de ziel van uw knechten, van deze vijftigen, dierbaar zijn in uw ogen! 14Zie, het vuur is van den hemel gedaald, en heeft die twee eerste hoofdmannen van vijftigen met hun vijftigen verteerd; maar nu, laat mijn ziel dierbaar zijn in uw ogen! 15Toen sprak de Engel des HEEREN tot Elia: Ga af met hem; vrees niet voor zijn aangezicht. En hij stond op, en ging met hem af tot den koning. 16En hij sprak tot hem: Zo zegt de HEERE: Daarom, dat gij boden gezonden hebt, om Baal-Zebub, den god van Ekron, te vragen (is het, omdat er geen God in Israel is, om Zijn woord te vragen?); daarom, van dat bed, waarop gij geklommen zijt, zult gij niet afkomen, maar gij zult den dood sterven. 17Alzo stierf hij, naar het woord des HEEREN, dat Elia gesproken had; en Joram werd koning in zijn plaats, in het tweede jaar van Joram, den zoon van Josafat, den koning van Juda; want hij had geen zoon. 18Het overige nu der zaken van Ahazia, die hij gedaan heeft, is dat niet geschreven in het boek der kronieken der koningen van Israel?
