Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of Judah and captured 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。
2The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller’s field highway.
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。
3Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder came out to him.
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。
4Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
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？
5I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against 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？
6Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who 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 you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to 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？
8Now therefore, please make a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on 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。
9How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for 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？
10Have I come up now 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！』」
11Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don’t speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who are on 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。」
12But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own 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 Rabshakeh stood, and called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
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。
14The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will 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。
15Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us. This city won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”’
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。』
16Don’t listen to Hezekiah, for the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own 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。
17until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new 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。
18Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?
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 are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from 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 are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should 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？』」
21But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
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。」
22Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
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。
