< Isaiah 36 >
1 And it was in four-teen year of the king Hezekiah he went up Sennacherib [the] king of Assyria on all [the] cities of Judah fortified and he seized them.
在希則克雅為王第十四年,亞述王散乃黑黎布上來攻打猶大的一切堅城,而且都佔領了。
2 And he sent [the] king of Assyria - [the] chief commander from Lachish Jerusalem towards to the king Hezekiah with an army massive and he stood at [the] conduit of the pool upper on [the] highway of [the] field of [the] washer.
亞述王從拉基市打發一位大將軍,帶著大軍到耶路撒冷去見希則克雅王。當大將站在上池溝旁,漂布田間的大路上時,
3 And he went out to him Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah who [was] over the house and Shebna the scribe and Joah [the] son of Asaph the recorder.
出來迎接他的,有希耳克雅的兒子厄里雅金家宰、舍布納書記和阿撒夫的兒子約阿黑史官。
4 And he said to them [the] chief commander say please to Hezekiah thus he says the king great [the] king of Assyria what? [is] the trust this which you trust.
大將軍對他們說:「你們去告訴希則克雅說:大王,亞述王這樣說:你所依靠的算得什麼依靠,
5 I say only a word of lips [are] a plan and strength for war now on whom? do you rely that you have rebelled against me.
你想空口說話就是戰略和戰鬥的力量嗎﹖如今你靠誰來背叛我﹖
6 Here! you rely on [the] staff of reed crushed this on Egypt which he will support himself anyone on it and it will go in palm his and it will pierce it [is] thus Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt to all those [who] rely on him.
看哪!你依靠的埃及是一根破裂的蘆杖,誰依靠這杖,它就刺傷誰的手,且把手刺透;埃及王法郎對所有依靠他的人就是這樣。
7 And if you will say to me to Yahweh God our we trust ¿ not [is] he [the one] whom he has removed Hezekiah high places his and altars his and he has said to Judah and to Jerusalem before the altar this you will bow down.
假使你們對我說:我們依靠雅威,我們的天主;希則克雅豈不是曾推翻他的高丘和祭壇,且對猶大和耶路撒冷說:你們只應在這祭壇前朝拜﹖
8 And now make a wager please with master my the king of Assyria so let me give to you two thousand horses if you will be able to put for yourself riders on them.
如今你可與我的主上亞述王打賭:我給你兩千匹馬,你是否能給這些馬配上騎兵﹖
9 And how? will you turn back [the] face of [the] governor one of [the] servants of master my little and you have been relying yourself on Egypt for chariotry and for horsemen.
若不能,你怎敢拒絕我主上最小僕人中的一個軍長,而去依靠埃及的戰車和騎兵﹖
10 And now ¿ without Yahweh have I come up on the land this to destroy it Yahweh he said to me go up to the land this and destroy it.
現在,我上來攻打毀滅這地,難道不是雅威的意思嗎﹖雅威對我說了:上去,攻打那地,加以毀滅!」
11 And he said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah to [the] chief commander speak please to servants your Aramaic for [are] understanding we and may not you speak to us [in] Judean in [the] ears of the people which [is] on the city wall.
厄里雅金、舍布納和約阿黑對大將軍說:「請你對你的僕人說阿剌美話,因為我們都懂;你不要對我們講猶太話,因為城牆上的百姓能聽到。」
12 And he said [the] chief commander ¿ to master your and to you has he sent me master my to speak the words these ¿ not to the people who sit on the city wall to eat (own excrement their *Q(K)*) and to drink ([the] water of feet their *Q(K)*) with you.
大將軍回答說:「難道我的主上打發我來只對你的主上和你講這些話,而不是對那些坐在城牆上,和你們一樣吃自己的糞,喝自己的尿的人,講這些話嗎﹖」
13 And he stood [the] chief commander and he called out with a voice great [in] Judean and he said hear [the] words of the king great [the] king of Assyria.
大將軍於是站起來仍用猶太話大聲喊說:「你們聽大王,亞述王的話罷 !
14 Thus he says the king may not he deceive you Hezekiah for not he will be able to deliver you.
大王這樣說:你們別上希則克雅的當,他決不能拯救你們!
15 And may not he make trust you Hezekiah to Yahweh saying certainly he will deliver us Yahweh not it will be given the city this in [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria.
也不要讓希則克雅使你們信賴雅威說:雅威必會拯救我們,這城決不會落在亞述王手中!
16 May not you listen to Hezekiah. For thus he says the king of Assyria make with me a blessing and come out to me and eat everyone own vine his and everyone own fig tree his and drink everyone [the] water of own cistern his.
不要聽從希則克雅,因為亞述王曾這樣說了:你們要與我和好,出來歸順我,各人就可以吃自己的葡萄和無花果,各人也可以喝自己井裏的水;
17 Until come I and I will take you to a land like own land your a land of grain and new wine a land of bread and vineyards.
直到我來領你們到一個與你們本國一樣的地方去,一個有五穀和新酒的地方,一個有食糧和葡萄園的地方。
18 Lest he should mislead you Hezekiah saying Yahweh he will deliver us ¿ have they delivered [the] gods of the nations anyone land its from [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria.
切不要上希則克雅的當,聽信他說:雅威必拯救我們!萬國的神中有那一個由亞述王手中拯救了自己的國家﹖
19 Where? [were] [the] gods of Hamath and Arpad where? [were] [the] gods of Sepharvaim and if they have delivered Samaria from hand my.
哈瑪特和阿帕得的神在那裏﹖色法瓦因的神在那裏﹖撒瑪黎雅的神在那裏﹖難道他們由我手中拯救了撒瑪黎雅﹖
20 Who? among all [the] gods of the lands these [are those] which they have delivered land their from hand my that he will deliver Yahweh Jerusalem from hand my.
這些地域中的神,有那一個由我手中拯救了自己的國土﹖難道雅威就能由我手中拯救耶路撒冷嗎﹖」
21 And they kept silent and not they answered him anything for [was] [the] commandment of the king it saying not you must answer him.
他們都不作聲,一句話也沒有回答,因為君王有命:「不要回答他。」
22 And he went Eliakim [the] son of Hilkiah who [was] over the house and Shebna the scribe and Joah [the] son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah torn of garments and they told to him [the] words of [the] chief commander.
希耳克雅的兒子厄里雅金家宰、舍布納書記和阿撒夫的兒兒子約阿黑史官撕裂了衣服,來見希則克雅,將大將軍的話告訴了他。
