2 Kings 19
1 And it comes to pass, at King Hezekiah’s hearing, that he tears his garments, and covers himself with sackcloth, and enters the house of YHWH,
希西家王听见，就撕裂衣服，披上麻布，进了耶和华的殿；
2 and sends Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elderly of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, son 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 say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: This day [is] a day of distress, and rebuke, and despising; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bring forth.
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 It may be your God YHWH hears all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord has sent him to reproach the living God, and has decided concerning the words that your God YHWH has heard, and you have lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.”
或者耶和华—你的 神听见拉伯沙基的一切话，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 And the servants of King Hezekiah come to Isaiah,
希西家王的臣仆就去见以赛亚。
6 and Isaiah says to them, “Thus you say to your lord, Thus said YHWH: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled 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 Behold, I am giving a spirit in him, and he has heard a report, and has turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his 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 And the chief of the butlers turns back and finds the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he has heard that he has journeyed 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 And he hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “Behold, he has come out to fight with you”; and he turns and sends 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。”于是亚述王又打发使者去见希西家，吩咐他们说：
10 “Thus you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you are trusting lift you up, saying, Jerusalem is not given 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 Behold, you have heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them; and are you delivered?
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 Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed—Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Thelassar?
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 city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
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 And Hezekiah takes the letters out of the hand of the messengers and reads them, and goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
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 prays before YHWH and says, “O YHWH, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all the kingdoms of the earth: You have made the heavens and the earth.
希西家向耶和华祷告说：“坐在二基路伯上耶和华—以色列的 神啊，你是天下万国的 神，你曾创造天地。
16 Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib with which he has sent him to reproach the living God.
耶和华啊，求你侧耳而听！耶和华啊，求你睁眼而看！要听西拿基立打发使者来辱骂永生 神的话。
17 Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste the nations and their land,
耶和华啊，亚述诸王果然使列国和列国之地变为荒凉，
18 and have put their gods into fire, for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them.
将列国的神像都扔在火里；因为它本不是神，乃是人手所造的，是木头石头的，所以灭绝它。
19 And now, O our God YHWH, please save us out of his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH God—You alone.”
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独你—耶和华是 神！”
20 And Isaiah son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard;
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，我已听见了。’
21 this [is] the word that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you—laughed at you Has the virgin daughter of Zion; Shaken the head behind you Has the daughter of Jerusalem!
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。
22 Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Indeed, you lift up your eyes on high—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！
23 By the hand of your messengers You have reproached the Lord, and say, In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains—The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
你借你的使者辱骂主， 并说：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。
24 I have dug, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
我已经在外邦挖井喝水； 我必用脚掌踏干埃及的一切河。
25 Have you not heard from afar [that] I made it, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becomes a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fortified cities,
耶和华说，我早先所做的， 古时所立的，就是现在借你 使坚固城荒废，变为乱堆， 这事你岂没有听见吗？
26 And their inhabitants [are] feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted grain—before it has risen up!
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， 又如未长成而枯干的禾稼。
27 And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me;
你坐下，你出去，你进来， 你向我发烈怒，我都知道。
28 Because of your anger toward Me, And your noise—it came up into My ears, I have put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And have caused you to turn back In the way in which you came.
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， 使你从你来的路转回去。
29 And this [is] the sign to you, Food of the year [is] the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year you sow, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.
“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。
30 And it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah That has been left—to take root beneath, And has made fruit upward.
犹大家所逃脱余剩的，仍要往下扎根，向上结果。
31 For a remnant goes out from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion; The zeal of YHWH [of Hosts] does 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。耶和华的热心必成就这事。
32 Therefore, thus said YHWH, Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, Nor does he shoot an arrow there, Nor does he come before it with shield, Nor does he pour out a mound 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。
33 In the way that he comes in—In it he turns back, And to this city he does not come in, A declaration of YHWH—
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。
34 And I have covered over this city, To save it for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
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。’”
35 And it comes to pass, in that night, that a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of Asshur, and they rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses.
当夜，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。
36 And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeys, and goes, and turns back, and dwells in Nineveh;
亚述王西拿基立就拔营回去，住在尼尼微。
37 and it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and [his sons] Adramelech and Sharezar have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
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。
