Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, entered into Judah, encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to win them for himself.
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。
2When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he was planning to fight against Jerusalem,
2希西家 見 西拿基立 來，定意要攻打 耶路撒冷 ，
3he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city, and they helped him.
3就與首領和勇士商議，塞住城外的泉源；他們就都幫助他。
4Then many people gathered together and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the middle of the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find abundant water?”
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？」
5He took courage, built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, with the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in David’s city, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
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；
6He set captains of war over the people, gathered them together to him in the wide place at the gate of the city, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,
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：
7“Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid or dismayed because of the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater one with us than with him.
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。
8An arm of flesh is with him, but the LORD our God is with us to help us and to fight our battles.” The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
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。
9After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was attacking Lachish, and all his forces were with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
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：
10Sennacherib king of Assyria says, “In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
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？
11Doesn’t Hezekiah persuade you to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, ‘The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria’?
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？
12Hasn’t the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, ‘You shall worship before one altar, and you shall burn incense on it’?
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？
13Don’t you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand?
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？
14Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you 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？
15Now therefore don’t let Hezekiah deceive you nor persuade you in this way. Don’t believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my 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。』」
16His servants spoke yet more against the LORD God and against his servant Hezekiah.
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 。
17He also wrote letters insulting the LORD, the God of Israel, and speaking against him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.”
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。」
18They called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them, that they might take the city.
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。
19They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men’s hands.
19他們論 耶路撒冷 的上帝，如同論世上人手所造的神一樣。
20Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
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。
21The LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, the leaders, and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, those who came out of his own body killed him there with the sword.
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。
22Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.
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。
23Many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from then on.
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。
24In those days Hezekiah was terminally ill, and he prayed to the LORD; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.
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。
25But Hezekiah didn’t reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, Judah, and Jerusalem.
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 。
26However, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the LORD’s wrath didn’t come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
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。
27Hezekiah had exceedingly great riches and honor. He provided himself with treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of valuable vessels;
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，
28also storehouses for the increase of grain, new wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
28又建造倉房，收藏五穀、新酒，和油，又為各類牲畜蓋棚立圈；
29Moreover he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him abundant possessions.
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。
30This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of David’s city. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
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。
31However, concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him to test him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
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。
32Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
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。
33Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent to the tombs of the sons of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
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。
