Isaiah 37
1 And when the King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the House of the Lord.
希西家王听见就撕裂衣服，披上麻布，进了耶和华的殿，
2 And he sent Eliakim the stewarde of the house, aud Shebna the chanceller, with the Elders of the Priestes, clothed in sackcloth vnto Isaiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz.
使家宰以利亚敬和书记舍伯那，并祭司中的长老，都披上麻布，去见亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚，
3 And they sayd vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemie: for the children are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
对他说：“希西家如此说：‘今日是急难、责罚、凌辱的日子，就如妇人将要生产婴孩，却没有力量生产。
4 If so be the Lord thy God hath heard the wordes of Rabshakeh, whom the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
或者耶和华—你的 神听见拉伯沙基的话，就是他主人亚述王打发他来辱骂永生 神的话；耶和华—你的 神听见这话就发斥责。故此，求你为余剩的民扬声祷告。’”
5 So the seruants of the King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
希西家王的臣仆就去见以赛亚。
6 And Isaiah sayde vnto them, Thus say vnto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afrayd of the wordes that thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
以赛亚对他们说：“要这样对你们的主人说，耶和华如此说：‘你听见亚述王的仆人亵渎我的话，不要惧怕。
7 Beholde, I wil send a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his owne land.
我必惊动他的心；他要听见风声就归回本地，我必使他在那里倒在刀下。’”
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
拉伯沙基回去，正遇见亚述王攻打立拿；原来他早听见亚述王拔营离开拉吉。
9 He heard also men say of Tirhakah, King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: and when he heard it, he sent other messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
亚述王听见人论古实王特哈加说：“他出来要与你争战。”亚述王一听见，就打发使者去见希西家，吩咐他们说：
10 Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, saying, Let not thy God deceiue thee, in whom thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be giuen into the hand of the King of Asshur.
“你们对犹大王希西家如此说：‘不要听你所倚靠的 神欺哄你说：耶路撒冷必不交在亚述王的手中。
11 Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all lands in destroying them, and shalt thou be deliuered?
你总听说亚述诸王向列国所行的乃是尽行灭绝，难道你还能得救吗？
12 Haue the gods of the nations deliuered them, which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Telassar?
我列祖所毁灭的，就是歌散、哈兰、利色，和属提·拉撒的伊甸人；这些国的神何曾拯救这些国呢？
13 Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
哈马的王，亚珥拔的王，西法瓦音城的王，希拿和以瓦的王，都在哪里呢？’”
14 So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went vp into the House of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
希西家从使者手里接过书信来，看完了，就上耶和华的殿，将书信在耶和华面前展开。
15 And Hezekiah prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
希西家向耶和华祷告说：
16 O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth.
“坐在二基路伯上万军之耶和华—以色列的 神啊，你—惟有你是天下万国的 神，你曾创造天地。
17 Encline thine eare, O Lord, and heare: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and heare all the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
耶和华啊，求你侧耳而听；耶和华啊，求你睁眼而看，要听西拿基立的一切话，他是打发使者来辱骂永生 神的。
18 Trueth it is, O Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed all lands, and their countrey,
耶和华啊，亚述诸王果然使列国和列国之地变为荒凉，
19 And haue cast their gods in ye fire: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood or stone: therefore they destroyed them.
将列国的神像都扔在火里；因为他本不是神，乃是人手所造的，是木头、石头的，所以灭绝他。
20 Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, saue thou vs out of his hand, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou onely art the Lord.
耶和华—我们的 神啊，现在求你救我们脱离亚述王的手，使天下万国都知道惟有你是耶和华。”
21 Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent vnto Hezekiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Because thou hast prayed vnto me, concerning Saneherib king of Asshur,
亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚就打发人去见希西家，说：“耶和华—以色列的 神如此说，你既然求我攻击亚述王西拿基立，
22 This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, the virgine, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: the daughter of Ierusalem, hath shaken her head at thee.
所以耶和华论他这样说： 锡安的处女藐视你，嗤笑你； 耶路撒冷的女子向你摇头。
23 Whome hast thou railed on and blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the holy one of Israel.
你辱骂谁，亵渎谁？ 扬起声来，高举眼目攻击谁呢？ 乃是攻击以色列的圣者。
24 By thy seruants hast thou railed on the Lord, and sayd, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the top of the mountaines to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe vp to the heightes of his top and to the forest of his fruitfull places.
你借你的臣仆辱骂主说： 我率领许多战车上山顶， 到黎巴嫩极深之处； 我要砍伐其中高大的香柏树 和佳美的松树。 我必上极高之处， 进入肥田的树林。
25 I haue digged and drunke the waters, and with the plant of my feete haue I dryed all the riuers closed in.
我已经挖井喝水； 我必用脚掌踏干埃及的一切河。
26 Hast thou not heard howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and layde on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
耶和华说：你岂没有听见 我早先所做的、古时所立的吗？ 现在借你使坚固城荒废，变为乱堆。
27 Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afrayd and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field and greene herbe, or grasse on the house tops, or corne blassed afore it be growen.
所以其中的居民力量甚小， 惊惶羞愧。 他们像野草，像青菜， 如房顶上的草， 又如田间未长成的禾稼。
28 But I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy fury against me.
你坐下，你出去，你进来， 你向我发烈怒，我都知道。
29 Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vnto mine eares, therefore will I put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lips, and wil bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
因你向我发烈怒， 又因你狂傲的话达到我耳中， 我就要用钩子钩上你的鼻子， 把嚼环放在你口里， 使你从原路转回去。
30 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such as groweth of it selfe: and the second yeere, such things as growe without sowing: and in the third yeere, sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyards, and eate the fruite thereof.
“以色列人哪，我赐你们一个证据：你们今年要吃自生的，明年也要吃自长的，至于后年，你们要耕种收割，栽植葡萄园，吃其中的果子。
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downward and beare fruite vpward.
犹大家所逃脱余剩的，仍要往下扎根，向上结果。
32 For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
必有余剩的民从耶路撒冷而出；必有逃脱的人从锡安山而来。万军之耶和华的热心必成就这事。
33 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
“所以耶和华论亚述王如此说：他必不得来到这城，也不在这里射箭，不得拿盾牌到城前，也不筑垒攻城。
34 By the same way that he came, he shall returne, and not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
他从哪条路来，必从那条路回去，必不得来到这城。这是耶和华说的。
35 For I will defend this citie to saue it, for mine owne sake, and for my seruant Dauids sake.
因我为自己的缘故，又为我仆人大卫的缘故，必保护拯救这城。”
36 Then the Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth, fourescore, and fiue thousand: so when they arose early in the morning, beholde, they were all dead corpses.
耶和华的使者出去，在亚述营中杀了十八万五千人。清早有人起来一看，都是死尸了。
37 So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh.
亚述王西拿基立就拔营回去，住在尼尼微。
38 And as he was in the temple worshipping of Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
一日在他的神—尼斯洛庙里叩拜，他儿子亚得米勒和沙利色用刀杀了他，就逃到亚拉腊地。他儿子以撒哈顿接续他作王。
