以利沙与戏笑他的少年
Elisha and the Youths Who Mocked Him
《列王纪下》2章
2 Kings 2
话说，以利沙从耶利哥城往伯特利那边走。
Now, Elisha was traveling from the city of Jericho toward Bethel.
这一路，本来平平常常。以利沙没招谁没惹谁，一路顺畅赶路。
The journey was perfectly ordinary. Elisha had not bothered anyone or caused any trouble; he was simply making his way along.
没成想刚走到路程的一半儿，从城里呼呼啦啦来了一帮年轻人。
But just when he had reached about halfway, a group of young people came rushing out from the city.
这些人一看见以利沙，就开始闹事儿，起哄、嘲笑人家：
As soon as they saw Elisha, they started making a commotion and mocking him:
“秃头的，上去吧！”
“Go up, baldhead!”
“秃头的，上去吧！”
“Go up, baldhead!”
这帮孩子一点儿也不讲口德。只管自己嘴开心？
These young people showed no restraint in their speech. They only cared about having a good time with their mouths, didn’t they?
以利沙回头一看，小儿：“你们想拿我开玩笑！”
Elisha turned around and looked at them. He thought, “So you want to make fun of me!”
于是，以利沙也没客气奉耶和华的名咒诅他们。
So Elisha did not hold back and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD.
这事情可不是闹着玩儿的。
This was no longer something to joke about.
突然间，从树林里出来两只母熊！此时场面彻底变了。
Suddenly, two female bears came out of the woods! At that moment, the whole situation completely changed.
刚才还在那儿起哄的一群人，这回谁也笑不出来了。
The group that had just been shouting and laughing could not laugh anymore.
圣经记载，这两只母熊撕裂了他们中间四十二个人。在场这帮人知道事情闹大了。有的都吓尿裤子了。事情才得以平息。
The Bible records that the two female bears mauled forty-two of them. Those who were there realized that things had gone far too far. Some were even scared out of their wits. Only then did the situation finally calm down.
后来，以利沙从那里继续往前走，上了迦密山，然后又从迦密山回到撒玛利亚。
Afterward, Elisha continued on his way, went up to Mount Carmel, and then returned from Mount Carmel to Samaria.
