< Isaiah 37 >
1 And it was when heard the king Hezekiah and he tore clothes his and he covered himself with sackcloth and he went [the] house of Yahweh.
希西家王聽見就撕裂衣服,披上麻布,進了耶和華的殿,
2 And he sent Eliakim who [was] over the house and - Shebna the scribe and [the] elders of the priests covered with sackcloth to Isaiah [the] son of Amoz the prophet.
使家宰以利亞敬和書記舍伯那,並祭司中的長老,都披上麻布,去見亞摩斯的兒子先知以賽亞,
3 And they said to him thus he says Hezekiah [is] a day of distress and rebuke and insult the day this for they have come children to birth and [is] strength there not for giving birth.
對他說:「希西家如此說:『今日是急難、責罰、凌辱的日子,就如婦人將要生產嬰孩,卻沒有力量生產。
4 Perhaps he will hear Yahweh God your - [the] words of [the] chief commander whom he has sent him [the] king of Assyria - master his to taunt [the] God living and he will rebuke the words which he has heard Yahweh God your and you will lift up prayer for the remnant which is found.
或者耶和華-你的上帝聽見拉伯沙基的話,就是他主人亞述王打發他來辱罵永生上帝的話;耶和華-你的上帝聽見這話就發斥責。故此,求你為餘剩的民揚聲禱告。』」
5 And they came [the] servants of the king Hezekiah to Isaiah.
希西家王的臣僕就去見以賽亞。
6 And he said to them Isaiah thus you will say! to master your thus - he says Yahweh may not you be afraid of the words which you have heard which they have blasphemed [the] servants of [the] king of Assyria me.
以賽亞對他們說:「要這樣對你們的主人說,耶和華如此說:『你聽見亞述王的僕人褻瀆我的話,不要懼怕。
7 Here I [am] about to put in him a spirit and he will hear a report and he will return to own land his and I will make fall him by the sword in own land his.
我必驚動他的心;他要聽見風聲就歸回本地,我必使他在那裏倒在刀下。』」
8 And he returned [the] chief commander and he found [the] king of Assyria fighting on Libnah if he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
拉伯沙基回去,正遇見亞述王攻打立拿;原來他早聽見亞述王拔營離開拉吉。
9 And he heard on Tirhakah [the] king of Cush saying he has come out to do battle with you and he heard and he sent messengers to Hezekiah saying.
亞述王聽見人論古實王特哈加說:「他出來要與你爭戰。」亞述王一聽見,就打發使者去見希西家,吩咐他們說:
10 Thus you will say! to Hezekiah [the] king of Judah saying may not he deceive you God your whom you [are] trusting in him saying not it will be given Jerusalem in [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria.
「你們對猶大王希西家如此說:『不要聽你所倚靠的上帝欺哄你說:耶路撒冷必不交在亞述王的手中。
11 Here! - you you have heard [that] which they have done [the] kings of Assyria to all the lands by totally destroying them and you will you be delivered?
你總聽說亞述諸王向列國所行的乃是盡行滅絕,難道你還能得救嗎?
12 ¿ Did they deliver them [the] gods of the nations which they destroyed ancestors my Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and [the] people of Eden who [were] in Telassar.
我列祖所毀滅的,就是歌散、哈蘭、利色,和屬提‧拉撒的伊甸人;這些國的神何曾拯救這些國呢?
13 Where? [is] [the] king of Hamath and [the] king of Arpad and [the] king of Lair Sepharvaim Hena and Ivvah.
哈馬的王,亞珥拔的王,西法瓦音城的王,希拿和以瓦的王,都在哪裏呢?』」
14 And he took Hezekiah the letters from [the] hand of the messengers and he read it and he went up [the] house of Yahweh and he spread out it Hezekiah before Yahweh.
希西家從使者手裏接過書信來,看完了,就上耶和華的殿,將書信在耶和華面前展開。
15 And he prayed Hezekiah to Yahweh saying.
希西家向耶和華禱告說:
16 O Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel [who] sits the cherubim you he [are] God to alone you of all [the] kingdoms of the earth you you have made the heavens and the earth.
「坐在二基路伯上萬軍之耶和華-以色列的上帝啊,你-惟有你是天下萬國的上帝,你曾創造天地。
17 Incline O Yahweh - ear your and hear open O Yahweh eyes your and see and hear all [the] words of Sennacherib which he has sent to taunt [the] God living.
耶和華啊,求你側耳而聽;耶和華啊,求你睜眼而看,要聽西拿基立的一切話,他是打發使者來辱罵永生上帝的。
18 Truly O Yahweh they have made desolate [the] kings of Assyria all the lands and land their.
耶和華啊,亞述諸王果然使列國和列國之地變為荒涼,
19 And they have put gods their in the fire for not [were] gods they that except [the] work of [the] hands of a person wood and stone and they destroyed them.
將列國的神像都扔在火裏;因為他本不是神,乃是人手所造的,是木頭、石頭的,所以滅絕他。
20 And now O Yahweh God our save us from hand his so they may know all [the] kingdoms of the earth that you [are] Yahweh to alone you.
耶和華-我們的上帝啊,現在求你救我們脫離亞述王的手,使天下萬國都知道惟有你是耶和華。」
21 And he sent Isaiah [the] son of Amoz to Hezekiah saying thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel that you have prayed to me concerning Sennacherib [the] king of Assyria.
亞摩斯的兒子以賽亞就打發人去見希西家,說:「耶和華-以色列的上帝如此說,你既然求我攻擊亞述王西拿基立,
22 This [is] the word which he has spoken Yahweh on him she has despised you she has mocked you [the] virgin of [the] daughter of Zion behind you a head she has shaken [the] daughter of Jerusalem.
所以耶和華論他這樣說: 錫安的處女藐視你,嗤笑你; 耶路撒冷的女子向你搖頭。
23 Whom? have you taunted and have you blasphemed? and on whom? have you raised a voice and have you lifted up? height eyes your against [the] holy [one] of Israel.
你辱罵誰,褻瀆誰? 揚起聲來,高舉眼目攻擊誰呢? 乃是攻擊以色列的聖者。
24 By [the] hand of servants your you have taunted - [the] Lord and you have said with [the] abundance of chariotry my I I have gone up [the] height[s] of mountains [the] remotest parts of Lebanon so I may cut down [the] height of cedars its [the] choicest of pines its so I may come [to the] height of end its [the] forest of orchard its.
你藉你的臣僕辱罵主說: 我率領許多戰車上山頂, 到黎巴嫩極深之處; 我要砍伐其中高大的香柏樹 和佳美的松樹。 我必上極高之處, 進入肥田的樹林。
25 I I have dug and I have drunk water so I may dry up with [the] sole of feet my all [the] canals of Egypt.
我已經挖井喝水; 我必用腳掌踏乾埃及的一切河。
26 ¿ Not have you heard from distant [time] it I appointed from days of antiquity and I planned it now I have brought it and you are [about] to make desolate heaps ruined cities fortified.
耶和華說:你豈沒有聽見 我早先所做的、古時所立的嗎? 現在藉你使堅固城荒廢,變為亂堆。
27 And inhabitants their [were] short of hand they were dismayed and they were ashamed they were [the] vegetation of [the] field and [the] greenery of vegetation grass of roofs and a field before standing grain.
所以其中的居民力量甚小, 驚惶羞愧。 他們像野草,像青菜, 如房頂上的草, 又如田間未長成的禾稼。
28 And sitting down your and going out you and coming in you I know and raging you against me.
你坐下,你出去,你進來, 你向我發烈怒,我都知道。
29 Because raging you against me and arrogance your it has come up in ears my and I will put hook my in nose your and bridle my on lips your and I will turn back you by the way which you came by it.
因你向我發烈怒, 又因你狂傲的話達到我耳中, 我就要用鉤子鉤上你的鼻子, 把嚼環放在你口裏, 使你從原路轉回去。
30 And this for you [will be] the sign you will eat this year self-sown grain and in the year second self-seeded plant[s] and in the year third sow and reap and plant vineyards (and eat *Q(K)*) fruit their.
「以色列人哪,我賜你們一個證據:你們今年要吃自生的,明年也要吃自長的,至於後年,你們要耕種收割,栽植葡萄園,吃其中的果子。
31 And it will add [the] escaped remnant of [the] house of Judah which remains a root downwards and it will produce fruit upwards.
猶大家所逃脫餘剩的,仍要往下扎根,向上結果。
32 For from Jerusalem it will go out a remnant and an escaped remnant from [the] mountain of Zion [the] zeal of Yahweh of hosts it will accomplish this.
必有餘剩的民從耶路撒冷而出;必有逃脫的人從錫安山而來。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成就這事。
33 Therefore thus he says Yahweh concerning [the] king of Assyria not he will come into the city this and not he will shoot there an arrow and not he will confront it a shield and not he will pour out on it a mound.
「所以耶和華論亞述王如此說:他必不得來到這城,也不在這裏射箭,不得拿盾牌到城前,也不築壘攻城。
34 By the way which he came by it he will return and into the city this not he will come [the] utterance of Yahweh.
他從哪條路來,必從那條路回去,必不得來到這城。這是耶和華說的。
35 And I will defend the city this to deliver it for own sake my and for [the] sake of David servant my.
因我為自己的緣故,又為我僕人大衛的緣故,必保護拯救這城。」
36 And he went out - [the] angel of Yahweh and he struck down in [the] camp of Assyria one hundred and eighty and five thousand and they rose early in the morning and there! all of them [were] corpses dead.
耶和華的使者出去,在亞述營中殺了十八萬五千人。清早有人起來一看,都是死屍了。
37 And he set out and he went and he returned Sennacherib [the] king of Assyria and he remained in Nineveh.
亞述王西拿基立就拔營回去,住在尼尼微。
38 And it was he [was] bowing down [the] house of - Nisroch god his and Adrammelech and Sharezer sons his they struck down him with the sword and they they escaped [the] land of Ararat and he reigned Esar-haddon son his in place his.
一日在他的神-尼斯洛廟裏叩拜,他兒子亞得米勒和沙利色用刀殺了他,就逃到亞拉臘地。他兒子以撒哈頓接續他作王。
