36:1
|
希西家王十四年，亚述王西拿基立上来攻击犹大的一切坚固城，将城攻取。
|
|
|
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
|
|
36:2
|
亚述王从拉吉差遣拉伯沙基率领大军往耶路撒冷，到希西家王那里去。他就站在上池的水沟旁，在漂布地的大路上。
|
|
|
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller`s field.
|
|
36:3
|
于是希勒家的儿子家宰以利亚敬，并书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚，出来见拉伯沙基。
|
|
|
Then came forth unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.
|
|
36:4
|
拉伯沙基对他们说：「你们去告诉希西家说，亚述大王如此说：『你所倚靠的有什么可仗赖的呢？
|
|
|
And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
|
|
36:5
|
你说，有打仗的计谋和能力，我看不过是虚话。你到底倚靠谁才背叛我呢？
|
|
|
I say, [thy] counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
|
|
36:6
|
看哪，你所倚靠的埃及是那压伤的苇杖，人若靠这杖，就必刺透他的手。埃及王法老向一切倚靠他的人也是这样。
|
|
|
Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
|
|
36:7
|
你若对我说：我们倚靠耶和华我们的神。希西家岂不是将神的邱坛和祭坛废去，且对犹大和耶路撒冷的人说：你们当在这坛前敬拜吗？
|
|
|
But if thou say unto me, We trust in Jehovah our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
|
|
36:8
|
现在你把当头给我主亚述王，我给你二千匹马，看你这一面骑马的人够不够。
|
|
|
Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
|
|
36:9
|
若不然，怎能打败我主臣仆中最小的军长呢？你竟倚靠埃及的战车马兵吗？
|
|
|
How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master`s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
|
|
36:10
|
现在我上来攻击毁灭这地，岂没有耶和华的意思吗？耶和华吩咐我说，你上去攻击毁灭这地吧！』」
|
|
|
And am I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
|
|
36:11
|
以利亚敬、舍伯那、约亚对拉伯沙基说：「求你用亚兰言语和仆人说话，因为我们懂得；不要用犹大言语和我们说话，达到城上百姓的耳中。」
|
|
|
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews` language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
|
|
36:12
|
拉伯沙基说：「我主差遣我来，岂是单对你和你的主说这些话吗？不也是对这些坐在城上、要与你们一同吃自己粪喝自己尿的人说吗？」
|
|
|
But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?
|
|
36:13
|
于是，拉伯沙基站着，用犹大言语大声喊着说：「你们当听亚述大王的话。
|
|
|
Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews` language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
|
|
36:14
|
王如此说：『你们不要被希西家欺哄了，因他不能拯救你们。
|
|
|
Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you:
|
|
36:15
|
也不要听希西家使你们倚靠耶和华说：耶和华必要拯救我们，这城必不交在亚述王的手中。
|
|
|
neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
|
|
36:16
|
不要听希西家的话，因亚述王如此说：你们要与我和好。出来投降我，各人就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子，喝自己井里的水。
|
|
|
Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
|
|
36:17
|
等我来领你们到一个地方，与你们本地一样，就是有五谷和新酒之地，有粮食和葡萄园之地。
|
|
|
until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
|
|
36:18
|
你们要谨防，恐怕希西家劝导你们说：耶和华必拯救我们。列国的神有那一个救他本国脱离亚述王的手呢？
|
|
|
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
|
|
36:19
|
哈马和亚珥拔的神在那里呢？西法瓦音的神在那里呢？他们曾救撒玛利亚脱离我的手吗？
|
|
|
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
|
|
36:20
|
这些国的神有谁曾救自己的国脱离我的手呢？难道耶和华能救耶路撒冷脱离我的手吗？』」
|
|
|
Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
|
|
36:21
|
百姓静默不言，并不回答一句，因为王曾吩咐说：「不要回答他。」
|
|
|
But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king`s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
|
|
36:22
|
当下希勒家的儿子家宰以利亚敬和书记舍伯那，并亚萨的儿子史官约亚，都撕裂衣服，来到希西家那里，将拉伯沙基的话告诉了他。
|
|
|
Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
