Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, that Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against all the fenced cities of Juda, and took them.
1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。
2And the king of the Assyrians sent Rabsaces from Lachis to Jerusalem, to king Ezechias with a great army, and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fuller’s held.
2亞述 王從 拉吉 差遣拉伯沙基率領大軍往 耶路撒冷 ，到 希西家 王那裏去。他就站在上池的水溝旁，在漂布地的大路上。
3And there went out to him Eliacim the son of Helcias, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.
3於是 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 ，出來見拉伯沙基。
4And Rabsaces said to them: Tell Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence wherein thou trustest?
4拉伯沙基對他們說：「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？
5Or with what counsel or strength dost thou prepare for war? on whom dost thou trust, that thou art revolted from me?
5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？
6Lo thou trustest upon this broken staff of a reed, upon Egypt: upon which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharao king or Egypt to all that trust in him.
6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。
7But if thou wilt answer me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away, and hath said to Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar?
7你若對我說：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：你們當在這壇前敬拜嗎？
8And now deliver thyself up to my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give thee two thousand horses, and thou wilt not be able on thy part to find riders for them.
8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。
9And how wilt thou stand against the face of the judge of one place, of the least of my master’s servants? But if thou trust in Egypt, in chariots and in horsemen:
9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？
10And am I now come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it? The Lord said to me: Go up against this land, and destroy it.
10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！』」
11And Eliacim, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: Speak to thy servants in the Syrian tongue: for we understand it: speak not to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people, that are upon the wall.
11以利亞敬 、 舍伯那 、 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。」
12And Rabsaces said to them: Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee, to speak all these words; and not rather to the men that sit on the wall; that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine with you?
12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？」
13Then 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.
13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。
14Thus saith the king: Let not Ezechias deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you.
14王如此說：『你們不要被 希西家 欺哄了，因他不能拯救你們。
15And let not Ezechias make you trust in the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
15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。』
16Do not hearken to Ezechias: for thus said the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, and come out to me, and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the water of his cistern,
16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。
17Till I come and take you away to a land, like to your own, a land of corn and of wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
17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。
18Neither let Ezechias trouble you, saying: The Lord will deliver us. Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
18你們要謹防，恐怕 希西家 勸導你們說：耶和華必拯救我們。列國的神有哪一個救他本國脫離 亞述 王的手呢？
19Where is the god of Emath and of Arphad? where is the god of Sepharvaim? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
19哈馬 和 亞珥拔 的神在哪裏呢？ 西法瓦音 的神在哪裏呢？他們曾救 撒馬利亞 脫離我的手嗎？
20Who is there among all the gods of these lands, that hath delivered his country out of my hand, that the Lord may deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
20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？』」
21And they held their peace, and answered him not a word. For the king had commanded, saying: answer him not.
21百姓靜默不言，並不回答一句，因為王曾吩咐說：「不要回答他。」
22And Eliacim the son of Helcias, that was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder, went in to Ezechias with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rabsaces.
22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。
