列王纪下 18
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
希西迦做犹大王
18 以拉的儿子以色列王何细亚执政第三年，犹大王亚哈斯的儿子希西迦登基。 2 他二十五岁登基，在耶路撒冷执政二十九年。他母亲叫亚比雅[a]，是撒迦利雅的女儿。 3 希西迦效法他祖先大卫，做耶和华视为正的事。 4 他拆除丘坛，砸碎神柱，砍倒亚舍拉神像，打碎摩西造的铜蛇，因为当时以色列人仍向铜蛇烧香，称之为尼忽士旦[b]。 5 希西迦信靠以色列的上帝耶和华，在他前后的犹大诸王没有一个可与他相比。 6 他对耶和华忠心不渝，遵守耶和华颁给摩西的诫命。 7 耶和华与他同在，他凡事顺利。他反抗亚述王的统治，不再臣服于他。 8 他击败非利士人，从他们的瞭望塔和坚城，一直打到迦萨及其四境。
9 希西迦执政第四年，即以拉的儿子以色列王何细亚执政第七年，亚述王撒缦以色起兵攻打撒玛利亚城，将城包围。 10 三年之后，就是希西迦执政第六年，以色列王何细亚执政第九年，撒玛利亚失陷。 11 亚述王把以色列人掳到亚述，将他们安置在哈腊、歌散的哈博河一带以及玛代人的城邑里。 12 这都是因为以色列人没有听从他们的上帝耶和华，违背了祂的约，不遵行祂仆人摩西所吩咐的一切。
亚述人攻打耶路撒冷
13 希西迦王执政第十四年，亚述王西拿基立起兵攻取了犹大所有的坚城。 14 希西迦王差遣使者去拉吉见亚述王说：“我知罪了，求你退兵！我愿意满足你的任何要求。”亚述王向希西迦索要十吨银子和一吨金子。 15 希西迦将耶和华殿里和王宫库房里的所有银子都给了他， 16 又刮下他包在耶和华殿门和门柱上的金子，一并送去。 17 但亚述王派他的元帅、都统和将军从拉吉率领大军到耶路撒冷见希西迦。到了耶路撒冷后，他们驻扎在上池的水沟旁、通往漂布场的路上。 18 他们要求见王。希勒迦的儿子宫廷总管以利亚敬、书记舍伯那和亚萨的儿子史官约亚出来见他们。 19 亚述的将军说：“你们去告诉希西迦，伟大的亚述王说，‘你凭什么这样自信呢？ 20 你所谓的战略和军力不过是空话。你究竟倚靠谁，竟敢背叛我？ 21 看啊，你所倚靠的埃及只不过是一根破裂的芦苇，谁倚靠它，谁的手就会被刺伤。倚靠埃及王法老的下场都是这样。’ 22 也许你会说，‘我们倚靠我们的上帝耶和华。’希西迦不是拆除了祂的庙宇和祭坛，又吩咐犹大和耶路撒冷的人要在耶路撒冷的祭坛前敬拜祂吗？ 23 来，跟我主人亚述王打个赌，你若能找到两千骑士，我就给你两千匹马！ 24 你们即使依靠埃及的战车和骑兵，又怎能打败我主人的一个最小的将领呢？ 25 更何况我来攻打、毁灭这地方不正是耶和华的意思吗？耶和华吩咐我攻打、毁灭这地方。”
26 以利亚敬、舍伯那和约亚对亚述的将军说：“求你用亚兰语跟仆人们说话，我们都听得懂。求你不要用希伯来语跟我们说话，免得城墙上的人听见。” 27 亚述的将军却说：“难道我主人派我来只对你们和你们的王说这些话吗？不也是对城墙上的人说吗？他们和你们一样都要吃自己的粪，喝自己的尿。” 28 于是，他站着用希伯来语大喊：“你们要听伟大的亚述王的话。 29 王说，‘你们不要被希西迦欺骗，他不能从我手中救你们。 30 不要听希西迦的话去倚靠耶和华，说什么耶和华必拯救你们，这城必不会落在亚述王手中。’ 31 不要听希西迦的话。亚述王说，‘你们要跟我讲和，出来归顺我，你们就可以吃自己葡萄树和无花果树的果子，喝自己井里的水。 32 以后我会来领你们到一个地方，那里和这里一样有五谷和新酒、饼和葡萄园。你们就可以存活，不至于死。希西迦说耶和华会拯救你们，不要听信他的话。 33 有哪个国家的神明曾经从亚述王手中救他的国家吗？ 34 哈马、亚珥拔的神明在哪里呢？西法瓦音、希拿和以瓦的神明又在哪里呢？他们从我手中救出撒玛利亚了吗？ 35 这些国家的神明哪个从我手中救了自己的国家呢？难道耶和华能从我手中救耶路撒冷吗？’” 36 民众默不作声，因为希西迦曾吩咐他们不要答话。 37 总管以利亚敬、书记舍伯那和史官约亚都撕裂衣服，去向希西迦禀告亚述的将军说的话。

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
希西家作猶大王(A)
18 以色列王以拉的兒子何細亞在位第三年，猶大王亞哈斯的兒子希西家登基作王。 2 他登基的時候是二十五歲；他在耶路撒冷作王二十九年，他母親名叫亞比，是撒迦利雅的女兒。 3 他行耶和華看為正的事，效法他的祖宗大衛一切所行的。 4 他廢去邱壇，打碎神柱，砍掉亞舍拉；他又打碎摩西所做的銅蛇，因為直到那些日子，以色列人仍然向它焚香，稱它作尼忽士但。 5 他倚靠耶和華以色列的 神，在他以前或以後的猶大列王中，沒有像他的。 6 他忠於耶和華，沒有轉離不跟從他，謹守他的吩咐，就是他曾吩咐摩西的。 7 耶和華和他同在，他所有的征戰都得到成功。他背叛亞述王，不再臣服他。 8 他攻擊非利士人，直到迦薩和它的四境，從哨站以至設防城。
撒瑪利亞被攻陷
9 希西家王在位第四年，就是以色列王以拉的兒子何細亞在位第七年，亞述王撒縵以色上來攻擊撒瑪利亞，把城圍困； 10 過了三年，他們就攻取了撒瑪利亞。希西家在位第六年，就是以色列王何細亞在位第九年，撒瑪利亞被攻取了。 11 亞述王把以色列人擄到亞述去，把他們安置在哈臘、哈博河和歌散河，以及瑪代人的城裡； 12 這是因為他們不聽從耶和華他們 神的話，違背他的約；耶和華的僕人摩西吩咐的一切，他們都不聽從，不遵行。
亞述王攻打猶大(B)
13 希西家王在位第十四年，亞述王西拿基立上來攻擊猶大所有的設防城，佔據了它們。 14 猶大王希西家派人往拉吉去見亞述王說：“我有罪了，請你離我回去吧，你們加於我的處分，我必承當。”於是亞述王罰了猶大王希西家九千公斤銀子和九百公斤金子。 15 希西家就把耶和華殿和王宮寶庫內找到的所有金子都給了他。 16 那時，猶大王希西家把耶和華殿門上和自己包在門柱上的金子，都刮了下來，給了亞述王。
17 亞述王從拉吉派他珥探、拉伯撒利和拉伯沙基率領大軍，往耶路撒冷，到希西家王那裡去。他們就上來，去到耶路撒冷。他們到達以後，就站在上池的引水道旁，在漂布地的大路上。 18 他們呼叫王；希勒家的兒子王宮總管以利亞敬、書記舍伯那和亞薩的兒子史官約亞就出來見他們。
拉伯沙基的恐嚇(C)
19 拉伯沙基對他們說：“你們要對希西家說：‘亞述大王這樣說：你所倚賴的這種防禦算是甚麼呢？ 20 你說有作戰的智謀和能力，只是嘴上空言，現在你倚賴誰才背叛我呢？ 21 你看，你倚賴埃及這壓傷的蘆葦做的手杖，人若是倚靠它，它必刺入他的手，把手刺傷，埃及王法老對所有倚賴他的人正是這樣。 22 如果你們對我說：我們倚靠的是耶和華我們的 神，希西家不是曾把他的邱壇和祭壇廢去，又對猶大人和耶路撒冷人說：你們要在耶路撒冷這祭壇前敬拜嗎？ 23 現在，你可以和我主亞述王打賭，我給你二千匹戰馬，看你能否派出騎兵來騎牠們？ 24 否則，你怎能使我主最小的一位臣僕轉臉逃跑呢？你竟然倚賴埃及供應戰車和戰馬嗎？ 25 現在，我上來攻擊這地方，要毀滅它，不是有耶和華的意思嗎？耶和華曾對我說：上去攻擊那地，把它毀滅。’”
26 希勒家的兒子以利亞敬、舍伯那和約亞對拉伯沙基說：“請用亞蘭語和你的僕人們說話，因為我們聽得懂；不要用猶大語和我們說話，免得傳入在城牆上的人民的耳中。” 27 拉伯沙基對他們說：“我主派我來，只是對你的主和你說這些話嗎？不也是對坐在城牆上，和你們在一起吃自己的糞、喝自己的尿的人民說的嗎？”
勸降的話(D)
28 於是拉伯沙基站著，用猶大語大聲喊著，說：“你們要聽亞述大王的話。 29 王這樣說：‘不要給希西家欺騙了你們，因為他不能從我的手中解救你們； 30 也不要讓希西家欺騙你們去信賴耶和華說：耶和華一定會解救我們，這城必不會交在亞述王的手中。 31 不要聽從希西家，因為亞述王這樣說：你們要與我和好，出來向我投降，各人就可以吃自己的葡萄樹和無花果樹的果子，喝自己水池裡的水。 32 直到我來帶你們到一個像你們國家的地方，那地方有五穀新酒，糧食和葡萄園，橄欖樹和蜂蜜，你們必可以活著，不會死亡。不要聽從希西家，因為他誤導你們說：耶和華必解救我們。 33 列國的神真能解救他們的國土脫離亞述王的手嗎？ 34 哈馬和亞珥拔的神在哪裡呢？西法瓦音、希拿和以瓦的神在哪裡呢？他們可以解救撒瑪利亞脫離我的手嗎？ 35 這些國家所有的神，有哪一個曾解救他自己的國家脫離我的手呢？難道耶和華能解救耶路撒冷脫離我的手嗎？’” 36 眾民都不出聲，一句話也不回答他，因為王吩咐他們：“不要回答他。” 37 當時王宮總管希勒家的兒子以利亞敬、書記舍伯那和亞薩的兒子史官約亞來到希西家那裡，他們的衣服都撕裂了，他們把拉伯沙基的話都告訴了他。
2 Kings 18
King James Version
18 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that David his father did.
4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.
6 For he clave to the Lord, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses.
7 And the Lord was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
8 He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
10 And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
11 And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:
12 Because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.
14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.
16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.
18 And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
20 Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
22 But if ye say unto me, We trust in the Lord our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
23 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
24 How then wilt 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?
25 Am I now come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
26 Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:
32 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The Lord will deliver us.
33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?
36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which 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.
