Outside the city gate were four men who were slowly dying of leprosy, a terrible skin disease. Gods law in Israel required that lepers be separated from their families and others, so these men suffered a lonely and miserable life together. Now they were not only sick but starving. They said one to another, Why are we just sitting here til we die?
在城门外有四个在等死的大麻疯病人(大麻疯病是一种可怕的皮肤病。神在以色列的律法中规定长大麻疯的人需要与他们的家人和所有其它的人隔离,所以他们在一起过着孤独可怜的生活。)。现在他们不仅病了而且非常饥饿。他们彼此说:我们为何坐在这里等死呢。
If we go in the city, there is no food so we will die. If we sit still here, we will die. Lets just go down and turn ourselves over to the Syrian army. If they let us live, then we will live, and if they kill us, were going to die anyway. As the evening grew darker, the four lepers cautiously approached the enemy camp. Would they find mercy or meet their death?What they found was....an empty camp! Oh yes, there were tents, and clothes, and weapons, and silver and gold, and an abundance of food....but no soldiers! What had happened?我们若说、进城去吧、城里有饥荒、必死在那里.若在这里坐着不动、也必是死。来吧、我们去投降亚兰人的军队.他们若留我们的活命、就活着.若杀我们、就死了吧。 黄昏的时候,他们起来很小心的来到亚兰人的营盘。 他们得到怜悯还是被杀死了呢?他们所看到的是一个空空的营盘!当然还有帐篷,有衣服,有武器,有金银,还有很多的食物,但就是没有士兵!到底发生了什么呢?
