Isaiah 37
1 And it was don, whanne kyng Ezechie hadde herd, he to-rente hise clothis, and he was wlappid in a sak, and entride in to the hous 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 sente Eliachym, that was on the hous, and Sobna, the scryuen, and the eldre men of prestis, hilid with sackis, to Isaie, the prophete, the sone of Amos.
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 thei seiden to hym, Ezechie seith these thingis, A dai of tribulacioun, and of angwisch, and of chastisyng, and of blasfemye is this dai; for children camen `til to childberyng, and vertu of childberyng is not.
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 Therfor reise thou preier for the relifs that ben foundun, if in ony maner thi Lord God here the wordis of Rapsaces, whom the king of Assiriens, his lord, sente, for to blasfeme lyuynge God, and to dispise bi the wordis, whiche thi Lord God herde.
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 And the seruauntis of kyng Esechie camen to Isaie;
希西家王的臣仆就去见以赛亚。
6 and Isaie seide to hem, Ye schulen seie these thingis to youre lord, The Lord seith these thingis, Drede thou not of the face of wordis whiche thou herdist, bi whiche the children of the kyng of Assiriens blasfemyden 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 Lo! Y schal yyue to hym a spirit, and he schal here a messanger; and he schal turne ayen to his londe, and Y schal make hym to falle doun bi swerd in his lond.
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 Forsothe Rapsaces turnede ayen, and foond the kyng of Assiriens fiytynge ayens Lobna; for he hadde herd, that the kyng was gon fro Lachis.
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 the kyng herde messangeris seiynge of Theracha, kyng of Ethiopiens, He is gon out to fiyte ayens thee. And whanne he hadde herd this thing, he sente messangeris to Ezechie, and seide, Ye schulen seie,
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 spekynge these thingis to Ezechye, kyng of Juda, Thi God disseyue not thee, in whom thou tristist, and seist, Jerusalem schal not be youun in to the hond of the kyng of Assiriens.
“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 Lo! thou herdist alle thingis whiche the kynges of Assiriens diden to alle londis whiche thei distrieden; and maist thou be delyuered?
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 Whethir the goddis of folkis delyuereden hem, whiche my fadris distrieden; Gosan, and Aran, and Reseph, and the sones of Eden, that weren in Thalasar?
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 kyng of Emath, and the kyng of Arphath, and the kyng of the citee of Sepharuaym, and of Ana, and of Aua?
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 Ezechie took the bookis fro the hond of messangeris, and redde tho; and he stiede in to the hous of the Lord, and spredde abrood tho bifore 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 preiede to the Lord,
希西家向耶和华祷告说：
16 and seide, Lord of oostis, God of Israel, that sittist on cherubyn, thou art God aloone of alle the rewmes of erthe; thou madist heuene and erthe.
“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 Lord, bowe doun thin eere, and here; Lord, open thin iyen, and se; and here thou alle the wordis of Sennacherib, whiche he sente for to blasfeme lyuynge 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 For verili, Lord, the kyngis of Assiriens maden londis dissert, and the cuntreis of tho, and yauen the goddis of tho to fier;
耶和华啊，亚述诸王果然使列国和列国之地变为荒凉，
19 for thei weren not goddis, but the werkis of mennus hondis, trees and stoonys; and thei al to-braken tho goddis.
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 And now, oure Lord God, saue thou vs fro the hond of hym; and alle rewmes of erthe knowe, that thou art Lord God aloone.
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 And Isaie, the sone of Amos, sente to Ezechie, and seide, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, For whiche thingis thou preidist me of Sennacherib, the kyng of Assiriens,
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 word which the Lord spak on hym, Thou virgyn, the douyter of Sion, he dispiside thee, he scornede thee; thou virgyn, the douyter of Jerusalem, he moued his heed aftir 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 Whom despisist thou, and whom blasfemedist thou? and on whom reisidist thou thi vois, and reisidist the hiynesse of thin iyen?
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 To the hooli of Israel. Bi the hond of thi seruauntis thou dispisidist the Lord, and seidist, In the multitude of my cartis Y stiede on the hiynesses of hillis, on the yockis of Liban; and Y schal kitte doun the hiy thingis of cedris therof, and the chosun beechis therof; and Y schal entre in to the hiynesse of the cop therof, in to the forest of Carmele therof.
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 Y diggide, and drank watir; and Y made drie with the step of my foot all the strondis of feeldis.
我已经挖井喝水； 我必用脚掌踏干埃及的一切河。
26 Whether thou, Sennacherib, herdist not what thingis Y dide sum tyme? Fro elde daies Y fourmyde that thing, and now Y haue brouyt; and it is maad in to drawyng vp bi the roote of litle hillis fiytynge togidere, and of strong citees.
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 The dwelleris of tho citees trembliden togidere with hond maad schort, and ben aschamed; thei ben maad as hei of the feeld, and the gras of lesewe, and as erbe of roouys, that driede vp bifore that it wexide ripe.
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 Y knew thi dwellyng, and thi goyng out, and thin entryng, and thi woodnesse ayens me.
你坐下，你出去，你进来， 你向我发烈怒，我都知道。
29 Whanne thou were wood ayens me, thi pride stiede in to myn eeris; therfor Y schal sette a ryng in thi nosethirlis, and a bridil in thi lippis; and Y schal lede thee ayen in to the weie, bi which 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 Forsothe to thee, Ezechie, this schal be a signe; ete thou in this yeer tho thingis that growen bi her fre wille, and in the secunde yeer ete thou applis; but in the thridde yeer sowe ye, and repe ye, and plaunte ye vyneris, and ete ye the fruyt of tho.
“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 that that is sauyd of the hous of Juda, and that, that is left, schal sende roote bynethe, and schal make fruyt aboue;
犹大家所逃脱余剩的，仍要往下扎根，向上结果。
32 for whi relifs schulen go out of Jerusalem, and saluacioun fro the hil of Sion; the feruent loue of the Lord of oostis schal do this thing.
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 Therfor the Lord seith these thingis of the kyng of Assiriens, He schal not entre in to this citee, and he schal not schete there an arowe; and a scheeld schal not ocupie it, and he schal not sende erthe in the cumpas therof.
“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 In the weie in which he cam, he schal turne ayen bi it; and he schal not entre in to this citee, seith 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 And Y schal defende this citee, that Y saue it, for me, and for Dauid, my seruaunt.
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 Forsothe the aungel of the Lord yede out, and killide an hundride thousynde and fourscoor and fyue thousynde in the tentis of Assiriens; and thei risen eerli, and lo! alle men weren careyns of deed men.
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 And Sennacherib yede out of Jude, and wente awei. And Sennacherib, the kyng of Assiriens, turnede ayen, and dwellide in Nynyue.
亚述王西拿基立就拔营回去，住在尼尼微。
38 And it was don, whanne he worschipide Mesrach, his god, in the temple, Aramalech and Sarasar, hise sones, killiden hym with swerd, and fledden in to the lond of Ararath; and Asaradon, his sone, regnyde for hym.
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。
