以賽亞書 37
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1希西家 王聽見就撕裂衣服，披上麻布，進了耶和華的殿，
1When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
2使家宰 以利亞敬 和書記 舍伯那 ，並祭司中的長老，都披上麻布，去見 亞摩斯 的兒子先知 以賽亞 ，
2He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
3對他說：「 希西家 如此說：『今日是急難、責罰、凌辱的日子，就如婦人將要生產嬰孩，卻沒有力量生產。
3They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth.
4或者耶和華－你的上帝聽見拉伯沙基的話，就是他主人 亞述 王打發他來辱罵永生上帝的話；耶和華－你的上帝聽見這話就發斥責。故此，求你為餘剩的民揚聲禱告。』」
4It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
5希西家 王的臣僕就去見 以賽亞 。
5So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6以賽亞 對他們說：「要這樣對你們的主人說，耶和華如此說：『你聽見 亞述 王的僕人褻瀆我的話，不要懼怕。
6Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7我必驚動他的心；他要聽見風聲就歸回本地，我必使他在那裏倒在刀下。』」
7Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
8拉伯沙基回去，正遇見 亞述 王攻打 立拿 ；原來他早聽見 亞述 王拔營離開 拉吉 。
8So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9亞述 王聽見人論 古實 王 特哈加 說：「他出來要與你爭戰。」 亞述 王一聽見，就打發使者去見 希西家 ，吩咐他們說：
9He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10「你們對 猶大 王 希西家 如此說：『不要聽你所倚靠的上帝欺哄你說： 耶路撒冷 必不交在 亞述 王的手中。
10“Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
11你總聽說 亞述 諸王向列國所行的乃是盡行滅絕，難道你還能得救嗎？
11Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
12我列祖所毀滅的，就是 歌散 、 哈蘭 、 利色 ，和屬 提‧拉撒 的 伊甸 人；這些國的神何曾拯救這些國呢？
12Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
13哈馬 的王， 亞珥拔 的王， 西法瓦音 城的王， 希拿 和 以瓦 的王，都在哪裏呢？』」
13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
14希西家 從使者手裏接過書信來，看完了，就上耶和華的殿，將書信在耶和華面前展開。
14Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD’s house, and spread it before the LORD.
15希西家 向耶和華禱告說：
15Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
16「坐在二基路伯上萬軍之耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝啊，你－惟有你是天下萬國的上帝，你曾創造天地。
16“LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
17耶和華啊，求你側耳而聽；耶和華啊，求你睜眼而看，要聽 西拿基立 的一切話，他是打發使者來辱罵永生上帝的。
17Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
18耶和華啊， 亞述 諸王果然使列國和列國之地變為荒涼，
18Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
19將列國的神像都扔在火裏；因為他本不是神，乃是人手所造的，是木頭、石頭的，所以滅絕他。
19and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
20耶和華－我們的上帝啊，現在求你救我們脫離 亞述 王的手，使天下萬國都知道惟有你是耶和華。」
20Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.”
21亞摩斯 的兒子 以賽亞 就打發人去見 希西家 ，說：「耶和華－ 以色列 的上帝如此說，你既然求我攻擊 亞述 王 西拿基立 ，
21Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22所以耶和華論他這樣說： 錫安 的處女藐視你，嗤笑你； 耶路撒冷 的女子向你搖頭。
22this is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23你辱罵誰，褻瀆誰？ 揚起聲來，高舉眼目攻擊誰呢？ 乃是攻擊 以色列 的聖者。
23Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
24你藉你的臣僕辱罵主說： 我率領許多戰車上山頂， 到 黎巴嫩 極深之處； 我要砍伐其中高大的香柏樹 和佳美的松樹。 我必上極高之處， 進入肥田的樹林。
24By your servants, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
25我已經挖井喝水； 我必用腳掌踏乾 埃及 的一切河。
25I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
26耶和華說 ：你豈沒有聽見 我早先所做的、古時所立的嗎？ 現在藉你使堅固城荒廢，變為亂堆。
26“‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
27所以其中的居民力量甚小， 驚惶羞愧。 他們像野草，像青菜， 如房頂上的草， 又如田間未長成的 禾稼 。
27Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
28你坐下，你出去，你進來， 你向我發烈怒，我都知道。
28But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
29因你向我發烈怒， 又因你狂傲 的話 達到我耳中， 我就要用鉤子鉤上你的鼻子， 把嚼環放在你口裏， 使你從原路轉回去。
29Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
30「 以色列 人哪，我賜你們一個證據：你們今年要吃自生的，明年也要吃自長的，至於後年，你們要耕種收割，栽植葡萄園，吃其中的果子。
30“‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31猶大 家所逃脫餘剩的，仍要往下扎根，向上結果。
31The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32必有餘剩的民從 耶路撒冷 而出；必有逃脫的人從 錫安山 而來。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成就這事。
32For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.’
33「所以耶和華論 亞述 王如此說：他必不得來到這城，也不在這裏射箭，不得拿盾牌到城前，也不築壘攻城。
33“Therefore the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
34他從哪條路來，必從那條路回去，必不得來到這城。這是耶和華說的。
34He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.
35因我為自己的緣故，又為我僕人 大衛 的緣故，必保護拯救這城。」
35‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
36耶和華的使者出去，在 亞述 營中殺了十八萬五千人。清早有人起來一看，都是死屍了。
36Then the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37亞述 王 西拿基立 就拔營回去，住在 尼尼微 。
37So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
38一日在他的神－ 尼斯洛 廟裏叩拜，他兒子 亞得米勒 和 沙利色 用刀殺了他，就逃到 亞拉臘 地。他兒子 以撒哈頓 接續他作王。
38As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
