¹希西家作犹大王（代下29:1-2，31:1）

¹And it cometh to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, reigned hath Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah;

²他登基的时候是二十五岁；他在耶路撒冷作王二十九年，他母亲名叫亚比，是撒迦利雅的女儿。

²a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abi daughter of Zechariah.

³他行耶和华看为正的事，效法他的祖宗大卫一切所行的。

³And he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father did,

⁴他废去邱坛，打碎神柱，砍掉亚舍拉；他又打碎摩西所做的铜蛇，因为直到那些日子，以色列人仍然向它焚香，称它作尼忽士但。

⁴he hath turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrine, and beaten down the brazen serpent that Moses made, for unto these days were the sons of Israel making perfume to it, and he calleth it `a piece of brass.`

⁵他倚靠耶和华以色列的　神，在他以前或以后的犹大列王中，没有像他的。

⁵In Jehovah, God of Israel, he hath trusted, and after him there hath not been like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] who were before him;

⁶他忠于耶和华，没有转离不跟从他，谨守他的吩咐，就是他曾吩咐摩西的。

⁶and he cleaveth to Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from after Him, and keepeth His commands that Jehovah commanded Moses.

⁷耶和华和他同在，他所有的征战都得到成功。他背叛亚述王，不再臣服他。

⁷And Jehovah hath been with him, in every place where he goeth out he acteth wisely, and he rebelleth against the king of Asshur, and hath not served him;

⁸他攻击非利士人，直到迦萨和它的四境，从哨站以至设防城。

⁸he hath smitten the Philistines unto Gaza, and its borders, from a tower of watchers unto the fenced city.

⁹撒玛利亚被攻陷希西家王在位第四年，就是以色列王以拉的儿子何细亚在位第七年，亚述王撒缦以色上来攻击撒玛利亚，把城围困；

⁹And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of king Hezekiah — it [is] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel — come up hath Shalmaneser king of Asshur against Samaria, and layeth siege to it,

¹⁰过了三年，他们就攻取了撒玛利亚。希西家在位第六年，就是以色列王何细亚在位第九年，撒玛利亚被攻取了。

¹⁰and they capture it at the end of three years; in the sixth year of Hezekiah — it [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel — hath Samaria been captureth,

¹¹亚述王把以色列人掳到亚述去，把他们徙置在哈腊、哈博河和歌散河，以及玛代人的城里；

¹¹and the king of Asshur removeth Israel to Asshur, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor [by] the river Gozan, and [in] cities of the Medes,

¹²这是因为他们不听从耶和华他们　神的话，违背他的约；耶和华的仆人摩西吩咐的一切，他们都不听从，不遵行。

¹²because that they have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and transgress His covenant — all that He commanded Moses, servant of Jehovah — yea, they have not hearkened nor done [it].

¹³亚述王攻打犹大（代下32:1-9；赛36:1-3）希西家王在位第十四年，亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大所有的设防城，占据了它们。

¹³And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah hath Sennacherib king of Asshur come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and seizeth them,

¹⁴犹大王希西家派人往拉吉去见亚述王说：“我有罪了，请你离我回去吧，你们加于我的处分，我必承当。”于是亚述王罚了犹大王希西家九百公斤银子和一百八十公斤金子。

¹⁴and Hezekiah king of Judah sendeth unto the king of Asshur to Lachish, saying, `I have sinned, turn back from off me; that which thou puttest on me I bear;` and the king of Asshur layeth on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold,

¹⁵希西家就把耶和华殿和王宫宝库内所有的金子都给了他。

¹⁵and Hezekiah giveth all the silver that is found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the king;

¹⁶那时，犹大王希西家把耶和华殿门上和自己包在门柱上的金子，都刮了下来，给了亚述王。

¹⁶at that time hath Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and giveth them to the king of Asshur.

¹⁷亚述王从拉吉派他珥探、拉伯撒利和拉伯沙基率领大军，往耶路撒冷，到希西家王那里去。他们就上来，去到耶路撒冷。他们到达以后，就站在上池的引水道旁，在漂布地的大路上。

¹⁷And the king of Asshur sendeth Tartan, and the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the butlers, from Lachish, unto king Hezekiah, with a heavy force, to Jerusalem, and they go up and come in to Jerusalem, and they go up, and come in and stand by the conduit of the upper pool that [is] in the highway of the fuller`s field.

¹⁸他们呼叫王；希勒家的儿子王宫总管以利亚敬、书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚就出来见他们。

¹⁸And they call unto the king, and go out unto them doth Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer.

¹⁹拉伯沙基的恐吓（赛36:4-12）拉伯沙基对他们说：“你们要对希西家说：‘亚述大王这样说：你所倚赖的这种防御算是什么呢？

¹⁹And the chief of the butlers saith unto them, `Say, I pray you, unto Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur, What [is] this confidence in which thou hast confided?

²⁰你说有作战的智谋和能力，只是嘴上空言，现在你倚赖谁才背叛我呢？

²⁰Thou hast said: Only a word of the lips! counsel and might [are] for battle; now, on whom hast thou trusted that thou hast rebelled against me?

²¹你看，你倚赖埃及这压伤的芦苇做的手杖，人若是倚靠它，它必刺入他的手，把手刺伤，埃及王法老对所有倚赖他的人正是这样。

²¹`Now, lo, thou hast trusted for thee on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leaneth on, and it hath gone into his hand, and pierced it! — so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.

²²如果你们对我说：我们倚靠的是耶和华我们的　神，希西家不是曾把他的邱坛和祭坛废去，又对犹大人和耶路撒冷人说：你们要在耶路撒冷这祭坛前敬拜吗？

²²`And when ye say unto me, Unto Jehovah our God we have trusted, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath turned aside, and saith to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar do ye bow yourselves in Jerusalem?

²³现在，你可以和我主亚述王打赌，我给你二千匹战马，看你能否派出骑兵来骑它们？

²³`And, now, give a pledge for thee, I pray thee, to my lord the king of Asshur, and I give to thee two thousand horses, if thou art able to give for thee riders on them.

²⁴否则，你怎能使我主最小的一位臣仆转脸逃跑呢？你竟然倚赖埃及供应战车和战马吗？

²⁴And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, that thou dost trust for thee on Egypt for chariot, and for horsemen?

²⁵现在，我上来攻击这地方，要毁灭它，不是有耶和华的意思吗？耶和华曾对我说：上去攻击那地，把它毁灭。’”

²⁵Now, without Jehovah have I come up against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and thou hast destroyed it.`

²⁶希勒家的儿子以利亚敬、舍伯那和约亚对拉伯沙基说：“请用亚兰语和你的仆人们说话，因为我们听得懂；不要用犹大语和我们说话，免得传入在城墙上的人民的耳中。”

²⁶And Eliakim son of Hilkiah saith — and Shebna, and Joah — to the chief of the butlers, `Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants [in] Aramaean, for we are understanding, and do not speak with us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.`

²⁷拉伯沙基对他们说：“我主派我来，只是对你的主和你说这些话吗？不也是对坐在城墙上，和你们在一起吃自己的粪、喝自己的尿的人民说的吗？”

²⁷And the chief of the butlers saith unto them, `For thy lord, and unto thee, hath my lord sent me to speak these words? is it not for the men, those sitting on the wall to eat their own dung and to drink their own water, with you?`

²⁸劝降的话（代下32:9-19；赛36:13-22）于是拉伯沙基站着，用犹大语大声喊着，说：“你们要听亚述大王的话。

²⁸And the chief of the butlers standeth and calleth with a great voice [in] Jewish, and speaketh and saith, `Hear ye a word of the great king, the king of Asshur:

²⁹王这样说：‘不要给希西家欺骗了你们，因为他不能从我的手中解救你们；

²⁹thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you out of his hand;

³⁰也不要让希西家欺骗你们去信赖耶和华说：耶和华一定会解救我们，这城必不会交在亚述王的手中。

³⁰and let not Hezekiah make you trust unto Jehovah, saying, Jehovah doth certainly deliver us, and this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.

³¹不要听从希西家，因为亚述王这样说：你们要与我和好，出来向我投降，各人就可以吃自己的葡萄树和无花果树的果子，喝自己水池里的水。

³¹`Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur, Make with me a blessing, and come out unto me, and eat ye each of his vine, and each of his fig-tree, and drink ye each the waters of his own well,

³²直到我来带你们到一个像你们国家的地方，那地方有五谷新酒，粮食和葡萄园，橄榄树和蜂蜜，你们必可以活着，不会死亡。不要听从希西家，因为他误导你们说：耶和华必解救我们。

³²till my coming in, and I have taken you unto a land like your own land, a land of corn and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive, and honey, and live, and die not; and do not hearken unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, Jehovah doth deliver us.

³³列国的神真能解救他们的国土脱离亚述王的手吗？

³³`Have the gods of the nations delivered at all each his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?

³⁴哈马和亚珥拔的神在哪里呢？西法瓦音、希拿和以瓦的神在哪里呢？他们可以解救撒玛利亚脱离我的手吗？

³⁴Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?

³⁵这些国家所有的神，有哪一个曾解救他自己的国家脱离我的手呢？难道耶和华能解救耶路撒冷脱离我的手吗？’”

³⁵Who [are they] among all the gods of the lands that have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?`

³⁶众民都不出声，一句话也不回答他，因为王吩咐他们：“不要回答他。”

³⁶And the people have kept silent, and have not answered him a word, for the command of the king is, saying, `Do not answer him.`

³⁷当时王宫总管希勒家的儿子以利亚敬、书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚来到希西家那里，他们的衣服都撕裂了，他们把拉伯沙基的话都告诉了他。

³⁷And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, cometh in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer, unto Hezekiah, with rent garments, and they declare to him the words of the chief of the butlers.
