希西家王十四年,亞述王西拿基立上來攻擊猶大的一切堅固城,將城攻取。 1 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah's reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
亞述王從拉吉差遣拉伯沙基率領大軍往耶路撒冷,到希西家王那裏去。他就站在上池的水溝旁,在漂布地的大路上。 2 Then the king of Assyria sent his field commander with a large army from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. When the commander stopped at the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Washerman's Field,
於是希勒家的兒子家宰以利亞敬,並書記舍伯那和亞薩的兒子史官約亞,出來見拉伯沙基。 3 Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder went out to him.
拉伯沙基對他們說:「你們去告訴希西家說,亞述大王如此說:『你所倚靠的有甚麼可仗賴的呢? 4 The field commander said to them, 「Tell Hezekiah,i 「 This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: On what are you basing this confidence of yours?
你說,有打仗的計謀和能力,我看不過是虛話。你到底倚靠誰才背叛我呢? 5 You say you have strategy and military strength--but you speak only empty words. On whom are you depending, that you rebel against me?
看哪,你所倚靠的埃及是那壓傷的葦杖,人若靠這杖,就必刺透他的手。埃及王法老向一切倚靠他的人也是這樣。 6 Look now, you are depending on Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff, which pierces a man's hand and wounds him if he leans on it! Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who depend on him.
你若對我說:我們倚靠耶和華─我們的神。希西家豈不是將神的邱壇和祭壇廢去,且對猶大和耶路撒冷的人說:你們當在這壇前敬拜嗎? 7 And if you say to me, 「We are depending on the LORD our God」--isn't he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, 「You must worship before this altar」?
現在你把當頭給我主亞述王,我給你二千匹馬,看你這一面騎馬的人夠不夠。 8 「 Come now, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses--if you can put riders on them!
若不然,怎能打敗我主臣僕中最小的軍長呢?你竟倚靠埃及的戰車馬兵嗎? 9 How then can you repulse one officer of the least of my master's officials, even though you are depending on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
現在我上來攻擊毀滅這地,豈沒有耶和華的意思嗎?耶和華吩咐我說,你上去攻擊毀滅這地吧!』」 10 Furthermore, have I come to attack and destroy this land without the LORD? The LORD himself told me to march against this country and destroy it. 」
以利亞敬、舍伯那、約亞對拉伯沙基說:「求你用亞蘭言語和僕人說話,因為我們懂得;不要用猶大言語和我們說話,達到城上百姓的耳中。」 11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to the field commander, 「Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don't speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.」
拉伯沙基說:「我主差遣我來,豈是單對你和你的主說這些話嗎?不也是對這些坐在城上、要與你們一同吃自己糞喝自己尿的人說嗎?」 12 But the commander replied, 「Was it only to your master and you that my master sent me to say these things, and not to the men sitting on the wall--who, like you, will have to eat their own filth and drink their own urine?」
也不要聽希西家使你們倚靠耶和華說:耶和華必要拯救我們,這城必不交在亞述王的手中。 15 Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
不要聽希西家的話,因亞述王如此說:你們要與我和好。出來投降我,各人就可以吃自己葡萄樹和無花果樹的果子,喝自己井裏的水。 16 「Do not listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and fig tree and drink water from his own cistern,
等我來領你們到一個地方,與你們本地一樣,就是有五殼和新酒之地,有糧食和葡萄園之地。 17 until I come and take you to a land like your own--a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
你們要謹防,恐怕希西家勸導你們說:耶和華必拯救我們。列國的神有哪一個救他本國脫離亞述王的手呢? 18 「Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, The LORD will deliver us. Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
哈馬和亞珥拔的神在哪裏呢?西法瓦音的神在哪裏呢?他們曾救撒馬利亞脫離我的手嗎? 19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they rescued Samaria from my hand?
這些國的神有誰曾救自己的國脫離我的手呢?難道耶和華能救耶路撒冷脫離我的手嗎?』」 20 Who of all the gods of these countries has been able to save his land from me? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?」
當下希勒家的兒子家宰以利亞敬和書記舍伯那,並亞薩的兒子史官約亞,都撕裂衣服,來到希西家那裏,將拉伯沙基的話告訴了他。 22 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder went to Hezekiah, with their clothes torn, and told him what the field commander had said.
August 15 "Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God." (Acts 14:22.) THE best things of life come out of wounding. Wheat is crushed before it becomes bread. Incense must be cast upon the fire before its odors are set free. The ground must be broken with the sharp plough before it is ready to receive the seed. It is the broken heart that pleases God. The sweetest joys in life are the fruits of sorrow. Human nature seems to need suffering to fit it for being a blessing to the world. "Beside my cottage door it grows, The loveliest, daintiest flower that blows. A sweetbriar rose. "At dewy morn or twilight's close, The rarest perfume from is flows, This strange wild rose. "But when the rain-drops on it beat, Ah, then, its odors grow more sweet, About my feet. "Ofttimes with loving tenderness, Its soft green leaves I gently press, In sweet caress. "A still more wondrous fragrance flows The more my fingers close And crush the rose. "Dear Lord, oh, let my life be so Its perfume when tempests blow, The sweeter flow. "And should it be Thy blessed will With crushing grief my soul to fill, Press harder still. "And while its dying fragrance flows I'll whisper low, `He loves and knows His crushed briar rose.'" If you aspire to be a son of consolation; if you would partake of the priestly gift of sympathy; if you would pour something beyond commonplace consolation into a tempted heart; if you would pass through the intercourse of daily life with the delicate tact that never inflicts pain; you must be content to pay the price of a costly education-like Him, you must suffer. ─F. W. Robertson.
