Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1In the third year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, reigned Ezechias the son of Achaz king of Juda.
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。
2He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abi the daughter of Zacharias.
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。
3And he did that which was good before the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.
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。
4He destroyed the high places, and broke the statues in pieces, and cut down the groves, and broke the brazen serpent, which Moses had made: for till that time the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called its name Nohestan.
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。
5He trusted in the Lord the God of Israel: so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Juda, nor any of them that were before him:
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。
6And he stuck to the Lord, and departed not from his steps, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses.
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。
7Wherefore the Lord also was with him, and in all things, to which he went forth, he behaved himself wisely. And he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
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。
8He smote the Philistines as far as Gaza, and all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
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。
9In the fourth year of king Ezechias, which was the seventh year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, Salmanasar king of the Assyrians came up to Samaria, and besieged it,
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 ；
10And took it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Ezechias, that is, in the ninth year of Osee king of Israel, Samaria was taken:
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。
11And the king of the Assyrians carried away Israel into Assyria, and placed them in Hale, and in Habor by the rivers of Gozan in the cities of the Medes:
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；
12Because they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant: all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, they would not hear nor do.
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。
13In the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against the fenced cities of Juda: and took them.
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。
14Then Ezechias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians to Lachis, saying: I have offended, depart from me: and all that thou shalt put upon me, I will bear. And the king of the Assyrians put a tax upon Ezechias king of Juda, of three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.
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。
15And Ezechias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures.
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 。
16At that time Ezechias broke the doors of the temple of the Lord, and the plates of gold which he had fastened on them, and gave them to the king of the Assyrians.
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。
17And the king of the Assyrians sent Tharthan and Rabsaris, and Rabsaces from Lachis to king Ezechias with a strong army to Jerusalem: and they went up and came to Jerusalem, and they stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the way of the fuller’s field.
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。
18And they called for the king: and there went out to them Eliacim the son of Helcias who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.
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。
19And Rabsaces said to them: Speak to Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence, wherein thou trustest?
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？
20Perhaps thou hast taken counsel, to prepare thyself for battle. On whom dost thou trust, that thou darest to rebel?
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？
21Dost thou trust in Egypt a staff of a broken reed, upon which if a man lean, it will break and go into his hand, and pierce it? so is Pharao king of Egypt, to all that trust in him.
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。
22But if you say to me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away: and hath commanded Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
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？
23Now therefore come over to my master the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, and see whether you be able to have riders for them.
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。
24And how can you stand against one lord of the least of my master’s servants? Dost thou trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
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？
25Is it without the will of the Lord that I am come up to this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me: Go up to this land and destroy it.
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！』」
26Then Eliacim the son of Helcias, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: We pray thee speak to us thy servants in Syriac: for we understand that tongue: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people that are upon the wall.
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。」
27And Rabsaces answered them, saying: Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee, to speak these words, and not rather to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine with you?
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？」
28Then Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
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！
29Thus saith the king: Let not Ezechias deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of my hand.
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。
30Neither let him make you trust in the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
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。』
31Do not hearken to Ezechias. For thus saith the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, and come out to me: and every man of you shall eat of his own vineyard, and of his own fig tree: and you shall drink water of your own cisterns,
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。
32Till I come, and take you away to a land, like to your own land, a fruitful land, and plentiful in wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olives, and oil and honey, and you shall live, and not die. Hearken not to Ezechias, who deceiveth you, saying: The Lord will deliver us.
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。
33Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
33列國的神有哪一個救他本國脫離 亞述 王的手呢？
34Where is the god of Emath, and of Arphad? where is the god of Sepharvaim, of Ana, and of Ava? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
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？
35Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord may deliver Jerusalem out of 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？』」
36But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for they had received commandment from the king that they should not answer him.
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。」
37And Eliacim the son of Helcias, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Ezechias, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rabsaces.
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。
