¹希西家病危与康复（代下32:24；赛38:1-8、21-22）

¹In those days hath Hezekiah been sick unto death, and come unto him doth Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, and saith unto him, `Thus said Jehovah: Give a charge to thy house, for thou art dying, and dost not live.`

²他却转脸向墙，祷告耶和华说：

²And he turneth round his face unto the wall, and prayeth unto Jehovah, saying,

³“唉，耶和华啊！求你记念我曾怎样以真诚和完全的心在你面前行事为人，我所行的都是你看为善的事。”希西家就痛哭起来。

³`I pray Thee, O Jehovah, remember, I pray Thee, how I have walked habitually before Thee in truth, and with a perfect heart, and that which [is] good in Thine eyes I have done;` and Hezekiah weepeth — a great weeping.

⁴以赛亚还没有出到中院，耶和华的话就临到他说：

⁴And it cometh to pass — Isaiah hath not gone out to the middle court — that the word of Jehovah hath been unto him, saying,

⁵“你回去对我子民的君主希西家说：‘你祖大卫的　神耶和华这样说：我听见了你的祷告，看见了你的眼泪。看哪，我必医治你，第三日你要上耶和华的殿。

⁵`Turn back, and thou hast said unto Hezekiah, leader of My people: Thus said Jehovah, God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tear, lo, I give healing to thee, on the third day thou dost go up to the house of Jehovah;

⁶我必把十五年的寿命增添给你。我要拯救你和这城脱离亚述王的手，又要因我自己和我仆人大卫的缘故保护这城。’”

⁶and I have added to thy days fifteen years, and out of the hand of the king of Asshur I deliver thee and this city, and have covered over this city for Mine own sake, and for the sake of David My servant.`

⁷以赛亚说：“取一片无花果饼来。”他们就取了来，把它贴在疮上。希西家就痊愈了。

⁷And Isaiah saith, `Take ye a cake of figs;` and they take and lay [it] on the boil, and he reviveth.

⁸希西家对以赛亚说：“有什么征兆告诉我耶和华必医治我，第三日我能上耶和华的殿呢？”

⁸And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `What [is] the sign that Jehovah doth give healing to me, that I have gone up on the third day to the house of Jehovah?`

⁹以赛亚说：“这就是耶和华给你的征兆，显明耶和华必成全他应许的这事：你要日影向前进十级或是倒退十级呢？”

⁹And Isaiah saith, `This [is] to thee the sign from Jehovah, that Jehovah doth the thing that He hath spoken — The shadow hath gone on ten degrees, or it doth turn back ten degrees?`

¹⁰希西家说：“日影延伸十级容易；不，我要日影倒后十级。”

¹⁰And Hezekiah saith, `It hath been light for the shadow to incline ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow turn backward ten degrees.`

¹¹以赛亚先知呼求耶和华，他就使日晷上的日影，就是在亚哈斯的日晷上已经下移的日影倒退了十级。

¹¹And Isaiah the prophet calleth unto Jehovah, and He bringeth back the shadow by the degrees that it had gone down in the degrees of Ahaz — backward ten degrees.

¹²希西家展示所有宝物（赛39:1-4；参代下32:27-31）那时，巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子比罗达．巴拉但送信和礼物给希西家，因为他听见希西家病了。

¹²At that time hath Berodach-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick;

¹³希西家听了使者的话，随后把宝库内的一切银子、金子、香料、贵重的油和军器库，以及他宝库内一切所有的，都给他们看。无论是在他的宫中或是在全国各地的，希西家没有一样不给他们看的。

¹³and Hezekiah hearkeneth unto them, and sheweth them all the house of his treasury, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the good ointment, and all the house of his vessels, and all that hath been found in his treasuries; there hath not been a thing that Hezekiah hath not shewed them, in his house, and in all his dominion.

¹⁴后来，以赛亚先知来到希西家王那里，对他说：“这些人说了些什么？他们是从哪里来见你的呢？”希西家说：“他们是从遥远的巴比伦来见我的。”

¹⁴And Isaiah the prophet cometh in unto king Hezekiah, and saith unto him, `What said these men? and whence come they unto thee?` And Hezekiah saith, `From a land afar off they have come — from Babylon.`

¹⁵以赛亚说：“他们在你宫中看到了什么呢？”希西家说：“我宫中的一切，他们都看见了。在我宝库内的，我没有一样不给他们看的。”

¹⁵And he saith, `What saw they in thy house?` and Hezekiah saith, `All that [is] in my house they saw; there hath not been a thing that I have not shewed them among my treasures.`

¹⁶以赛亚预言被掳（代下32:32-33；赛39:5-8）以赛亚对希西家说：“你要听耶和华的话：

¹⁶And Isaiah saith unto Hezekiah, `Hear a word of Jehovah:

¹⁷‘看哪，日子快到，那时你宫中的一切和你的祖先所积存直到今日的一切，都要被掠到巴比伦去，没有一样留下。’这是耶和华说的。

¹⁷Lo, days are coming, and borne hath been all that [is] in thy house, and that thy father have treasured up till this day, to Babylon; there is not left a thing, said Jehovah;

¹⁸并且你的众子中，就是由你所出，你所生的，有一部分要被掳去。他们要在巴比伦王的王宫中当太监。”

¹⁸and of thy sons who go out from thee, whom thou begettest, they take away, and they have been eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.`

¹⁹希西家对以赛亚说：“你所说耶和华的话很好。”他心里说：“在我的日子有和平和安全不是很好吗？”

¹⁹And Hezekiah saith unto Isaiah, `Good [is] the word of Jehovah that thou hast spoken;` and he saith, `Is it not — if peace and truth are in my days?`

²⁰希西家其余的事迹和他所有的英勇事迹，以及他做水池和引水道，把水引入城里的事，不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗？

²⁰And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and bringeth in the waters to the city, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?

²¹希西家和他的祖先一同长眠，他的儿子玛拿西就接续他作王。

²¹And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead.
