然后对约沙法特说：＂你愿意同我一起去攻取辣摩特基肋阿得吗？＂约沙法特回答以色列王说：＂你怎样，我也怎样；我的人民就如同是你的人民，我的马就如同是你的马。＂

以色列王于是召集了众先知，人数约有四百，问他们说：＂我上去进攻辣摩特基肋阿得，还是不去呢？＂他们回答说：＂上去，上主必将那地交于大王手中。＂
7ButJehoshaphatsaid,＂IstherenootherprophetoftheLORDherewhomwemayconsult?＂
但是，约沙法特说：＂这里就没有一位上主的先知，我们可托他求问吗？＂

以色列王回答约沙法特说：＂还有一个我们可以托他求问上主；不过我憎恨他，因为他对我说预言，总不说吉祥话，只说凶言；这人即是依默拉的儿子米加雅。＂约沙法特对他说：＂请大王别这样说！＂
9SothekingofIsraelcalledanofficialandsaidtohim,＂GetMicaiah,sonofImlah,atonce.＂
以色列王于是召一个宦官来，吩咐他说：＂快去将依默拉的儿子米加雅召来！＂

当时以色列王和犹大王在撒玛黎雅城门前的广场上，各穿朝服，坐在宝座上；所有的先知在他们面前说预言。
11Zedekiah,sonofChenaanah,madehimselfhornsofironandsaid,＂TheLORDsays,‘WiththeseyoushallgoreAramuntilyouhavedestroyedthem.'＂
革纳阿纳的儿子漆德克雅带来了些自制的铁角说：＂上主这样说：你要用这些铁角杀尽阿兰人。＂
12Theotherprophetsprophesiedinasimilarvein,saying:＂GouptoRamoth-gilead;youshallsucceed.TheLORDwilldeliveritovertotheking.＂
所有的先知也同样预言说：＂你上辣摩特基肋阿得去，必然顺利，上主必将那地交于大王手中！＂
13ThemessengerwhohadgonetocallMicaiahsaidtohim,＂Looknow,theprophetsareunanimouslypredictinggoodfortheking.Letyourwordbethesameasanyoftheirs;predictgood.＂
那去召米加雅的使者对米加雅说：＂看，先知们都一口同声对君王说吉祥话，希望你说话，也如同他们中的一个一样，也说吉祥话。＂
14＂AstheLORDlives,＂Micaiahanswered,＂IshallsaywhatevertheLORDtellsme.＂
米加雅回答说：＂我指着永生的上主起誓：上主吩咐我什么，我就说什么！＂

米加雅来到君王那里，君王问他说：＂米加雅，我们应该上去进攻辣摩特基肋阿得，还是不去呢？＂他回答说：＂上去，必然顺利！上主必将那地交在大王手中！＂
16Butthekingansweredhim,＂HowmanytimesmustIadjureyoutotellmenothingbutthetruthinthenameoftheLORD?＂
君王对他说：＂我应该多少次叫你宣誓，你才奉上主的名对我说实话呢？＂
17SoMicaiahsaid:＂IseeallIsraelscatteredonthemountains,likesheepwithoutashepherd,andtheLORDsaying,‘Thesehavenomaster!Leteachofthemgobackhomeinpeace.'＂
米加雅答说：＂我看见全以色列人散在山上，好象没有牧人的羊群。上主说：这些人既然没有主人，就让他们各自平安回家罢！＂
18ThekingofIsraelsaidtoJehoshaphat,＂DidInottellyouheprophesiesnotgoodbutevilaboutme?＂
以色列王对约沙法特说：＂我不是告诉过你：他对我说预言总不说吉祥话，只说凶言？＂
191Micaiahcontinued:＂ThereforehearthewordoftheLORD:IsawtheLORDseatedonhisthrone,withthewholehostofheavenstandingbytohisrightandtohisleft.
米加雅答说：＂为此，你且静听上主的话：我见上主坐在宝座上，天上的万军侍立在他左右。
20TheLORDasked,'WhowilldeceiveAhab,sothathewillgoupandfallatRamoth-gilead?'Andonesaidthis,anotherthat,
上主问说：有谁能去唆使阿哈布，叫他上去进攻辣摩特基肋阿得，而死在那里呢？那时有的说这样，有的说那样。
21untiloneofthespiritscameforthandpresentedhimselftotheLORD,saying,‘Iwilldeceivehim.'TheLORDasked,‘How?'
以后，有一个神出来，立在上主面前说：我能唆使他。上主问他说：用什么方法？
22Heanswered,‘Iwillgoforthandbecomealyingspiritinthemouthsofallhisprophets.'TheLORDreplied,‘Youshallsucceedindeceivinghim.Goforthanddothis.'
那神回答说：我去，在他所有的先知口中做虚言的神。上主答说：你必能唆使他，也必会成功，你去照办罢！
23Sonow,theLORDhasputalyingspiritinthemouthsofalltheseprophetsofyours,buttheLORDhimselfhasdecreedevilagainstyou.＂
现在上主将虚言的神，放入你这些先知口中，上主已注定你必遭殃。＂
24ThereuponZedekiah,sonofChenaanah,cameupandslappedMicaiahonthecheek,saying,＂HasthespiritoftheLORD,then,leftmetospeakwithyou?＂
那时，革纳阿纳的儿子漆德克雅前来，打米加雅的脸说：＂上主的神又何曾离开了我，而同你谈话呢？＂
25＂Youshallfindout,＂Micaiahreplied,＂onthatdaywhenyouretreatintoaninsideroomtohide.＂
米加雅答说：＂在你进入最严密的室内隐藏的那一天，你就会知道了。＂

米加雅说：＂你如果能平安回来，那么，上主就没有藉我说过话。＂后又说：＂众百姓！你们要听清楚啊！＂
