列王紀下6:1-7

 

6:1 先知門徒對以利沙說：「看哪，我們同你所住的地方過於窄小，
6:2 求你容我們往約旦河去，各人從那裡取一根木料建造房屋居住。」他說：「你們去吧！」
6:3 有一人說：「求你與僕人同去。」回答說：「我可以去。」
6:4 於是以利沙與他們同去。到了約旦河，就砍伐樹木。
6:5 有一人砍樹的時候，斧頭掉在水裡，他就呼叫說：「哀哉！我主啊，這斧子是借的。」
6:6 神人問說：「掉在哪裡了？」他將那地方指給以利沙看。以利沙砍了一根木頭，拋在水裡，斧頭就漂上來了。
6:7 以利沙說：「拿起來吧！」那人就伸手拿起來了。

 

 The company of the prophets said to Elisha, “Look, the place where we meet with you is too small for us. ² Let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a pole; and let us build a place there for us to meet.”

And he said, “Go.”

³ Then one of them said, “Won’t you please come with your servants?”

“I will,” Elisha replied. ⁴ And he went with them.

They went to the Jordan and began to cut down trees. ⁵ As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no, my lord!” he cried out. “It was borrowed!”

⁶ The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it there, and made the iron float. ⁷ “Lift it out,” he said. Then the man reached out his hand and took it.
