列王紀下 18
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
Berean Standard Bible
1以色列 王 以拉 的兒子 何細亞 第三年， 猶大 王 亞哈斯 的兒子 希西家 登基。
1In the third year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz became king of Judah.
2他登基的時候年二十五歲，在 耶路撒冷 作王二十九年。他母親名叫 亞比 ，是 撒迦利雅 的女兒。
2He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
3希西家 行耶和華眼中看為正的事，效法他祖 大衛 一切所行的。
3And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
4他廢去邱壇，毀壞柱像，砍下木偶，打碎 摩西 所造的銅蛇，因為到那時 以色列 人仍向銅蛇燒香。 希西家 叫銅蛇為銅塊。
4He removed the high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He also demolished the bronze snake called Nehushtan that Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had burned incense to it.
5希西家 倚靠耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝，在他前後的 猶大 列王中沒有一個及他的。
5Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. No king of Judah was like him, either before him or after him.
6因為他專靠耶和華，總不離開，謹守耶和華所吩咐 摩西 的誡命。
6He remained faithful to the LORD and did not turn from following Him; he kept the commandments that the LORD had given Moses.
7耶和華與他同在，他無論往何處去盡都亨通。他背叛、不肯事奉 亞述 王。
7And the LORD was with Hezekiah, and he prospered wherever he went. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and refused to serve him.
8希西家 攻擊 非利士 人，直到 迦薩 ，並 迦薩 的四境，從瞭望樓到堅固城。
8He defeated the Philistines as far as Gaza and its borders, from watchtower to fortified city.
9希西家 王第四年，就是 以色列 王 以拉 的兒子 何細亞 第七年， 亞述 王 撒縵以色 上來圍困 撒馬利亞 ；
9In the fourth year of Hezekiah’s reign, which was the seventh year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria marched against Samaria and besieged it.
10過了三年就攻取了城。 希西家 第六年， 以色列 王 何細亞 第九年， 撒馬利亞 被攻取了。
10And at the end of three years, the Assyrians captured it. So Samaria was captured in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel.
11亞述 王將 以色列 人擄到 亞述 ，把他們安置在 哈臘 與 歌散 的 哈博河 邊，並 米底亞 人的城邑；
11The king of Assyria exiled the Israelites to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
12都因他們不聽從耶和華－他們上帝的話，違背他的約，就是耶和華僕人 摩西 吩咐他們所當守的。
12This happened because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD their God, but violated His covenant—all that Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded—and would neither listen nor obey.
13希西家 王十四年， 亞述 王 西拿基立 上來攻擊 猶大 的一切堅固城，將城攻取。
13In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked and captured all the fortified cities of Judah.
14猶大 王 希西家 差人往 拉吉 去見 亞述 王，說：「我有罪了，求你離開我；凡你罰我的，我必承當。」於是 亞述 王罰 猶大 王 希西家 銀子三百他連得，金子三十他連得。
14So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand from me.” And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15希西家 就把耶和華殿裏和王宮府庫裏所有的銀子都給了 他 。
15Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
16那時， 猶大 王 希西家 將耶和華殿門上的 金子 和他自己包在柱上的 金子 都刮下來，給了 亞述 王。
16At that time Hezekiah stripped the gold with which he had plated the doors and doorposts of the temple of the LORD, and he gave it to the king of Assyria.
17亞述 王從 拉吉 差遣他珥探、拉伯撒利，和拉伯沙基率領大軍往 耶路撒冷 ，到 希西家 王那裏去。他們上到 耶路撒冷 ，就站在上池的水溝旁，在漂布地的大路上。
17Nevertheless, the king of Assyria sent the Tartan, the Rabsaris, and the Rabshakeh, along with a great army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. They advanced up to Jerusalem and stationed themselves by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.
18他們呼叫王的時候，就有 希勒家 的兒子家宰 以利亞敬 ，並書記 舍伯那 和 亞薩 的兒子史官 約亞 ，出來見他們。
18Then they called for the king; and Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, went out to them.
19拉伯沙基說：「你們去告訴 希西家 說， 亞述 大王如此說：『你所倚靠的有甚麼可仗賴的呢？
19The Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah that this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?
20你說有打仗的計謀和能力， 我看 不過是虛話。你到底倚靠誰才背叛我呢？
20You claim to have a strategy and strength for war, but these are empty words. In whom are you now trusting, that you have rebelled against me?
21看哪，你所倚靠的 埃及 是那壓傷的葦杖；人若靠這杖，就必刺透他的手。 埃及 王法老向一切倚靠他的人也是這樣。
21Look now, you are trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
22你們若對我說：我們倚靠耶和華－我們的上帝， 希西家 豈不是將上帝的邱壇和祭壇廢去，且對 猶大 和 耶路撒冷 的人說：你們當在 耶路撒冷 這壇前敬拜嗎？
22But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is He not the One whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You must worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
23現在你把當頭給我主 亞述 王，我給你二千匹馬，看你這一面騎馬的人夠不夠。
23Now, therefore, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria. I will give you two thousand horses—if you can put riders on them!
24若不然，怎能打敗我主臣僕中最小的軍長呢？你竟倚靠 埃及 的戰車馬兵嗎？
24For how can you repel a single officer among the least of my master’s servants when you depend on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
25現在我上來攻擊毀滅這地，豈沒有耶和華的意思嗎？耶和華吩咐我說：你上去攻擊毀滅這地吧！』」
25So now, was it apart from the LORD that I have come up against this place to destroy it? The LORD Himself said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”
26希勒家 的兒子 以利亞敬 和 舍伯那 ，並 約亞 ，對拉伯沙基說：「求你用 亞蘭 言語和僕人說話，因為我們懂得；不要用 猶大 言語和我們說話，達到城上百姓的耳中。」
26Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, along with Shebnah and Joah, said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Do not speak with us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
27拉伯沙基說：「我主差遣我來，豈是單對你和你的主說這些話嗎？不也是對這些坐在城上、要與你們一同吃自己糞、喝自己尿的人說嗎？」
27But the Rabshakeh replied, “Has my master sent me to speak these words only to you and your master, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?”
28於是拉伯沙基站着，用 猶大 言語大聲喊着說：「你們當聽 亞述 大王的話！
28Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!
29王如此說：『你們不要被 希西家 欺哄了；因他不能救你們脫離我的手。
29This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; he cannot deliver you from my hand.
30也不要聽 希西家 使你們倚靠耶和華，說耶和華必要拯救我們，這城必不交在 亞述 王的手中。』
30Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
31不要聽 希西家 的話！因 亞述 王如此說：『你們要與我和好，出來投降我，各人就可以吃自己葡萄樹和無花果樹的果子，喝自己井裏的水。
31Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink water from his own cistern,
32等我來領你們到一個地方與你們本地一樣，就是有五穀和新酒之地，有糧食和葡萄園之地，有橄欖樹和蜂蜜之地，好使你們存活，不至於死。 希西家 勸導你們，說耶和華必拯救我們；你們不要聽他的話。
32until I come and take you away to a land like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey—so that you may live and not die. But do not listen to Hezekiah, for he misleads you when he says, ‘The LORD will deliver us.’
33列國的神有哪一個救他本國脫離 亞述 王的手呢？
33Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
34哈馬 、 亞珥拔 的神在哪裏呢？ 西法瓦音 、 希拿 、 以瓦 的神在哪裏呢？他們曾救 撒馬利亞 脫離我的手嗎？
34Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
35這些國的神有誰曾救自己的國脫離我的手呢？難道耶和華能救 耶路撒冷 脫離我的手嗎？』」
35Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land from my hand? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
36百姓靜默不言，並不回答一句，因為王曾吩咐說：「不要回答他。」
36But the people remained silent and did not answer a word, for Hezekiah had commanded, “Do not answer him.”
37當下， 希勒家 的兒子家宰 以利亞敬 和書記 舍伯那 ，並 亞薩 的兒子史官 約亞 ，都撕裂衣服，來到 希西家 那裏，將拉伯沙基的話告訴了他。
37Then Hilkiah’s son Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and Asaph’s son Joah the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they relayed to him the words of the Rabshakeh.
