역대하 32
1 이 모든 충성된 일 후에 앗수르 왕 산헤립이 유다에 들어와서 견고한 성읍들을 향하여 진을 치고 쳐서 취하고자 한지라
After King Hezekiah had obeyed Yahweh’s instructions and had done all those things, King Sennacherib of Assyria came [with his army] and invaded Judah. He commanded his soldiers to surround the cities that had walls around them, thinking that they would [break through those walls and] conquer those cities.
2 히스기야가 산헤립이 예루살렘을 치러 온 것을 보고
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come [with his army] and that they intended to attack Jerusalem,
3 그 방백들과 용사들로 더불어 의논하고 성 밖에 모든 물 근원을 막고자 하매 저희가 돕더라
he consulted with his officials and army leaders. They said among themselves, “Why should we allow the king of Assyria [and his army] to come and find plenty of water to drink?” So they decided to stop the water from flowing outside the city. So a large group of men gathered together and blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through that area.
4 이에 백성이 많이 모여 모든 물 근원과 땅으로 흘러가는 시내를 막고 이르되 어찌 앗수르 왕들로 와서 많은 물을 얻게 하리요 하고
5 히스기야가 세력을 내어 퇴락한 성을 중수하되 망대까지 높이 쌓고 또 외성을 쌓고 다윗 성의 밀로를 견고케하고 병기와 방패를 많이 만들고
Then they worked hard to repair all the sections of the city wall that had been broken, and they built watchtowers on the walls. They built another wall outside/around the wall that was already outside the city, and they strengthened the defenses on the sloping terraces [on the east side of the area called ‘The City of David’]. They also made a large number of weapons and shields.
6 군대 장관들을 세워 백성을 거느리게 하고 성문 광장 자기에게로 무리를 모으고 말로 위로하여 가로되
Hezekiah appointed army commanders, and he gathered them in front of him in the square at one of the city gates, and he encouraged them by saying this to them:
7 너희는 마음을 강하게 하며 담대히 하고 앗수르 왕과 그 좇는 온 무리로 인하여 두려워 말며 놀라지 말라 우리와 함께하는 자가 저와 함께하는 자보다 크니
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged on account of the king of Assyria and the huge army that is with him, because [Yahweh] is with us, and his [power] is greater than their [power].
8 저와 함께하는 자는 육신의 팔이요 우리와 함께하는 자는 우리의 하나님 여호와시라 반드시 우리를 도우시고 우리를 대신하여 싸우시리라 하매 백성이 유다 왕 히스기야의 말로 인하여 안심하니라
They have to rely on the power of humans, but we have Yahweh our God to help us and to fight battles for us.” So the people became more confident because of what Hezekiah, the king of Judah, said.
9 그 후에 앗수르 왕 산헤립이 그 온 군대를 거느리고 라기스를 치며 그 신복을 예루살렘에 보내어 유다 왕 히스기야와 예루살렘에 있는 유다 무리에게 고하여 이르기를
Later, when Sennacherib and all his soldiers were surrounding Lachish [city], he sent some officers to Jerusalem to give this message to King Hezekiah and to all the people of Judah who were there:
10 앗수르 왕 산헤립은 이같이 말하노라 너희가 예루살렘에 에워싸여 있으면서 무엇을 의뢰하느냐
“[I am] Sennacherib, the [great] king of Assyria, [and] this is what I say: 'While you are staying in Jerusalem, my soldiers are surrounding the city. So why [RHQ] are you so confident?
11 히스기야가 너희를 꾀어 이르기를 우리 하나님 여호와께서 우리를 앗수르 왕의 손에서 건져내시리라 하거니와 이 어찌 너희로 주림과 목마름으로 죽게 함이 아니냐
Hezekiah says to you, “Yahweh our God will save us from [being defeated by the army of] the king of Assyria,” but he is misleading you. He wants you to die from having no food or water.
12 이 히스기야가 여호와의 산당들과 단들을 제하여 버리고 유다와 예루살렘에 명하여 이르기를 너희는 다만 한 단 앞에서 경배하고 그 위에 분향하라 하지 아니하였느냐
Isn’t Hezekiah the one who told his men to get rid of your god Yahweh’s shrines and altars on the hilltops, saying to [you people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah, “You must worship at only one altar and burn sacrifices on only that altar”?
13 나와 내 열조가 이방 모든 백성에게 행한 것을 너희가 알지 못하느냐 열방의 신들이 능히 그 땅을 나의 손에서 건져낼 수 있었느냐
'Do you people not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the people-groups in other countries? [We destroyed them all, and] none of the gods of those nations were ever able to prevent my [troops] from conquering them! So how can your god prevent my soldiers from conquering you?
14 나의 열조가 진멸한 열국의 그 모든 신 중에 누가 능히 그 백성을 내 손에서 건져 내었기에 너희 하나님이 능히 너희를 내 손에서 건지겠느냐
15 그런즉 이와 같이 히스기야에게 속지 말라 꾀임을 받지 말라 저를 믿지도 말라 아무 백성이나 아무 나라의 신도 능히 그 백성을 나의 손과 나의 열조의 손에서 건져내지 못하였나니 하물며 너희 하나님이 너희를 내 손에서 건져 내겠느냐 하였더라
So do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you like this. Do not believe what he says, because no god of any nation or kingdom has ever been able to rescue his people from being conquered by my army and the armies of my ancestors. So certainly your god will not be able to rescue you from my power'.”
16 산헤립의 신복들도 더욱 여호와 하나님과 그 종 히스기야를 비방하였으며
Sennacherib’s officers said more things to belittle Yahweh the God of the Israelis and Hezekiah, who served God [well].
17 산헤립이 또 편지를 써서 보내어 이스라엘 하나님 여호와를 욕하고 비방하여 이르기를 열방의 신들이 그 백성을 내 손에서 구원하여 내지 못한 것 같이 히스기야의 신들도 그 백성을 내 손에서 구원하여 내지 못하리라 하고
King Sennacherib wrote more letters insulting Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [belonged to/worshiped]. He said things like this: “The gods [worshiped by] the people-groups in other countries did not rescue their people from my power. Similarly, the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my power.”
18 산헤립의 신하가 유다 방언으로 크게 소리질러 예루살렘 성 위에 있는 백성을 놀라게 하고 괴롭게 하여 그 성을 취하려 하였는데
Then King Sennachereb’s officers shouted in the Hebrew language to the people who were on the wall, in order to cause them to be terrified, thinking that as a result the army of Assyria could capture the city [without a battle].
19 저희가 예루살렘의 하나님을 훼방하기를 사람의 손으로 지은 세상 백성의 신들을 훼방하듯 하였더라
They belittled the God [worshiped by the people] of Jerusalem as they belittled the gods of the other people-groups of the world—saying that they were only [idols] made by humans.
20 이러므로 히스기야 왕이 아모스의 아들 선지자 이사야로 더불어 하늘을 향하여 부르짖어 기도하였더니
Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to God, praying about this.
21 여호와께서 한 천사를 보내어 앗수르 왕의 영에서 모든 큰 용사와 대장과 장관들을 멸하신지라 앗수르 왕이 얼굴이 뜨뜻하여 그 고국으로 돌아갔더니 그 신의 전에 들어갔을 때에 그 몸에서 난 자들이 거기서 칼로 죽였더라
And [that night] Yahweh sent an angel who killed all the soldiers of Assyria and their leaders and their officers in the place where the king of Assyria and his army had set up their tents. So the king of Assyria left and returned to his own country, very disgraced. And one day when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons struck him with their swords and killed him.
22 이와 같이 여호와께서 히스기야와 예루살렘 거민을 앗수르 왕 산헤립의 손과 모든 적국의 손에서 구원하여내사 사면으로 보호하시매
That is how Yahweh rescued Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from their other enemies. Yahweh took care of them (OR, gave them peace) everywhere in the country.
23 여러 사람이 예물을 가지고 예루살렘에 와서 여호와께 드리고 또 보물로 유다 왕 히스기야에게 드린지라 이 후부터 히스기야가 열국의 눈에 존대하게 되었더라
Many people brought offerings for Yahweh to Jerusalem, and also brought valuable gifts for King Hezekiah. And from that time, Hezekiah was highly respected/honored by the people of all the other nations.
24 그 때에 히스기야가 병들어 죽게 된고로 여호와께 기도하매 여호와께서 그에게 대답하시고 또 이적으로 보이셨으나
About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. He was about to die. But he prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered his prayer. He performed a miracle [and healed Hezekiah].
25 히스기야가 마음이 교만하여 그 받은 은혜를 보답지 아니하므로 진노가 저와 유다와 예루살렘에 임하게 되었더니
But Hezekiah [SYN] was very proud, and he did not thank Yahweh for being kind to him. Therefore Yahweh was angry with him and [and punished him] and [the people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah.
26 히스기야가 마음의 교만함을 뉘우치고 예루살렘 거민들도 그와 같이 하였으므로 여호와의 노가 히스기야의 생전에는 저희에게 임하지 아니하니라
Then Hezekiah said that he was sorry for being proud, and the people of Jerusalem also said that they were sorry [for their sins]. So Yahweh did not punish them during the remaining years that Hezekiah [was their king].
27 히스기야가 부와 영광이 극한지라 이에 은금과 보석과 향품과 방패와 온갖 보배로운 그릇들을 위하여 국고를 세우매
Hezekiah became very rich and was greatly honored. His [workers] made storerooms for his silver and gold, and for his very valuable stones, and for spices and shields and other valuable things.
28 곡식과 새 포도주와 기름의 산물을 위하여 창고를 세우며 온갖 짐승의 외양간을 세우며 양떼의 우리를 갖추며
[His workers] also built buildings to store the grain and wine and [olive] oil [that people produced and brought to him]. They also made stalls for various kinds of cattle and pens for his flocks [of sheep and goats].
29 양떼와 많은 소떼를 위하여 성읍들을 세웠으니 이는 하나님이 저에게 재산을 심히 많이 주셨음이며
They built towns and acquired for the king many flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], because God had enabled him to become very rich.
30 이 히스기야가 또 기혼의 윗 샘물을 막아 그 아래로 좇아 다윗 성 서편으로 곧게 인도하였으니 저의 모든 일이 형통하였더라
Hezekiah was the one who told his workers to block the place where the water flows out of the Gihon Spring, and to build a tunnel through which the water flowed to the west side of the area called ‘The City of David’. He was able to do everything that he wanted to do.
31 그러나 바벨론 방백들이 히스기야에게 사자를 보내어 그 땅에서 나타난 이적을 물을 때에 하나님이 히스기야를 떠나시고 그 심중에 있는 것을 다 알고자 하사 시험하셨더라
But when messengers who were sent by the rulers of Babylon came and asked about the miracle that God had performed for him, God allowed Hezekiah to say what he himself wanted to say, in order to test [whether or not Hezekiah would admit that God had performed a miracle].
32 히스기야의 남은 행적과 그 모든 선한 일이 아모스의 아들 선지자 이사야의 묵시책과 유다와 이스라엘 열왕기에 기록되니라
A record of the other things that happened while Hezekiah was ruling, and the things that he did to please God, is on the scroll in which is written the vision that [Yahweh gave to] the prophet Isaiah. It is also written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
33 히스기야가 그 열조와 함께 자매 온 유다와 예루살렘 거민이 저를 다윗 자손의 묘실 중 높은 곳에 장사하여 저의 죽음에 존경함을 표하였더라 그 아들 므낫세가 대신하여 왕이 되니라
When Hezekiah died, he was buried in the tombs where the most respected kings [of Judah] were buried. Everyone in Jerusalem and other places in Judah honored him. Then his son Manasseh became the king.
