歷代志下 32
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1這虔誠的事以後， 亞述 王 西拿基立 來侵入 猶大 ，圍困一切堅固城，想要攻破佔據。
1After these things, and this truth, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came and entered into Juda, and besieged the fenced cities, desiring to take them.
2希西家 見 西拿基立 來，定意要攻打 耶路撒冷 ，
2And when Ezechias saw that Sennacherib was come, and that the whole force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,
3就與首領和勇士商議，塞住城外的泉源；他們就都幫助他。
3He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind,
4於是有許多人聚集，塞了一切泉源，並通流國中的小河，說：「 亞述 王來，為何讓他得着許多水呢？」
4He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and And abundance of water.
5希西家 力圖自強，就修築所有拆毀的城牆，高與城樓相齊；在城外又築一城，堅固 大衛城 的 米羅 ，製造了許多軍器、盾牌；
5He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields:
6設立軍長管理百姓，將他們招聚在城門的寬闊處，用話勉勵他們，說：
6And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying:
7「你們當剛強壯膽，不要因 亞述 王和跟隨他的大軍恐懼、驚慌；因為與我們同在的，比與他們同在的更大。
7Behave like men, and take courage: be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of the Assyrians, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are many more with us than with him.
8與他們同在的是肉臂，與我們同在的是耶和華－我們的上帝，他必幫助我們，為我們爭戰。」百姓就靠 猶大 王 希西家 的話，安然無懼了。
8For with him is an arm of flesh: with us the Lord our God, who is our helper, and fighteth for us. And the people were encouraged with these words of Ezechias king of Juda.
9此後， 亞述 王 西拿基立 和他的全軍攻打 拉吉 ，就差遣臣僕到 耶路撒冷 見 猶大 王 希西家 和一切在 耶路撒冷 的 猶大 人，說：
9After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying:
10「 亞述 王 西拿基立 如此說：『你們倚靠甚麼，還在 耶路撒冷 受困呢？
10Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem?
11希西家 對你們說「耶和華－我們的上帝必救我們脫離 亞述 王的手」，這不是誘惑你們，使你們受飢渴而死嗎？
11Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
12這 希西家 豈不是廢去耶和華的邱壇和祭壇，吩咐 猶大 與 耶路撒冷 的人說「你們當在一個壇前敬拜，在其上燒香」嗎？
12Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense?
13我與我列祖向列邦所行的，你們豈不知道嗎？列邦的神何嘗能救自己的國脫離我手呢？
13Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been able to deliver their country out of my hand?
14我列祖所滅的國，那些神中誰能救自己的民脫離我手呢？難道你們的神能救你們脫離我手嗎？
14Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this hand?
15所以你們不要叫 希西家 這樣欺哄誘惑你們，也不要信他；因為沒有一國一邦的神能救自己的民脫離我手和我列祖的手，何況你們的神更不能救你們脫離我的手。』」
15Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you out of my hand.
16西拿基立 的臣僕還有別的話毀謗耶和華上帝和他僕人 希西家 。
16And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant.
17西拿基立 也寫信毀謗耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝說：「列邦的神既不能救他的民脫離我手， 希西家 的神也不能救他的民脫離我手了。」
17He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand.
18亞述 王的臣僕用 猶大 言語向 耶路撒冷 城上的民大聲呼叫，要驚嚇他們，擾亂他們，以便取城。
18Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city.
19他們論 耶路撒冷 的上帝，如同論世上人手所造的神一樣。
19And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
20希西家 王和 亞摩斯 的兒子先知 以賽亞 因此禱告，向天呼求。
20And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven.
21耶和華就差遣一個使者進入 亞述 王營中，把所有大能的勇士和官長、將帥盡都滅了。 亞述 王滿面含羞地回到本國，進了他神的廟中，有他親生的 兒子 在那裏用刀殺了他。
21And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him with the sword.
22這樣，耶和華救 希西家 和 耶路撒冷 的居民脫離 亞述 王 西拿基立 的手，也脫離一切 仇敵 的手，又賜他們四境平安。
22And the Lord saved Ezechias and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of the hand of Sennacherib king of the Assyrians, and out of the hand of all, and gave them treasures on every side.
23有許多人到 耶路撒冷 ，將供物獻與耶和華，又將寶物送給 猶大 王 希西家 。此後， 希西家 在列邦人的眼中看為尊大。
23Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all nations.
24那時 希西家 病得要死，就禱告耶和華，耶和華應允他，賜他一個兆頭。
24In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign.
25希西家 卻沒有照他所蒙的恩報答 耶和華 ；因他心裏驕傲，所以忿怒要臨到他和 猶大 並 耶路撒冷 。
25But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem.
26但 希西家 和 耶路撒冷 的居民覺得心裏驕傲，就一同自卑，以致耶和華的忿怒在 希西家 的日子沒有臨到他們。
26And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias.
27希西家 大有尊榮資財，建造府庫，收藏金銀、寶石、香料、盾牌，和各樣的寶器，
27And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price.
28又建造倉房，收藏五穀、新酒，和油，又為各類牲畜蓋棚立圈；
28Storehouses also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and stalls for all beasts, and folds for cattle.
29並且建立城邑，還有許多的羊群牛群，因為上帝賜他極多的財產。
29And he built himself cities: for he had flocks of sheep, and herds without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance.
30這 希西家 也塞住 基訓 的上源，引水直下，流在 大衛城 的西邊。 希西家 所行的事盡都亨通。
30This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in ail his works he did prosperously what he would.
31惟有一件事，就是 巴比倫 王差遣使者來見 希西家 ，訪問國中所現的奇事；這件事上帝離開他，要試驗他，好知道他心內如何。
31But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart.
32希西家 其餘的事和他的善行都寫在 亞摩斯 的兒子先知 以賽亞 的默示書上和 猶大 、 以色列 的諸王記上。
32Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
33希西家 與他列祖同睡，葬在 大衛 子孫的高陵上。他死的時候， 猶大 人和 耶路撒冷 的居民都尊敬他。他兒子 瑪拿西 接續他作王。
33And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
