以賽亞書 38

那時希西家病得要死，亞摩斯的兒子先知以賽亞去見他，對他說：「耶和華如此說：你當留遺命與你的家，因為你必死不能活了。」

nà shí xī xī jiā bìng dé yào sǐ ， yà mó sī de ér zi xiān zhī yǐ sài yà qù jiàn tā ， duì tā shuō ：「 yē hé huá rú cǐ shuō ： nǐ dāng liú yí mìng yǔ nǐ de jiā ， yīn wèi nǐ bì sǐ bù néng huó le 。」

In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, “The LORD says, ‘Set your house in order, for you will die, and not live.’”

希西家就轉臉朝牆，禱告耶和華說：

xī xī jiā jiù zhuǎn liǎn cháo qiáng ， dǎo gào yē hé huá shuō ：

Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the LORD,

「耶和華啊，求你記念我在你面前怎樣存完全的心，按誠實行事，又做你眼中所看為善的。」希西家就痛哭了。

「 yē hé huá a ， qiú nǐ jì niàn wǒ zài nǐ miàn qián zěn yàng cún wán quán de xīn ， àn chéng shí xíng shì ， yòu zuò nǐ yǎn zhōng suǒ kàn wèi shàn de 。」 xī xī jiā jiù tòng kū le 。

and said, “Remember now, LORD, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight.” Then Hezekiah wept bitterly.

耶和華的話臨到以賽亞說：

yē hé huá de huà lín dào yǐ sài yà shuō ：

Then the LORD’s word came to Isaiah, saying,

「你去告訴希西家說，耶和華－你祖大衛的上帝如此說：我聽見了你的禱告，看見了你的眼淚。我必加增你十五年的壽數；

「 nǐ qù gào sù xī xī jiā shuō ， yē hé huá — nǐ zǔ dà wèi de shén rú cǐ shuō ： wǒ tīng jiàn le nǐ de dǎo gào ， kàn jiàn le nǐ de yǎn lèi 。 wǒ bì jiā zēng nǐ shí wǔ nián de shòu shù ；

“Go, and tell Hezekiah, ‘The LORD, the God of David your father, says, “I have heard your prayer. I have seen your tears. Behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

並且我要救你和這城脫離亞述王的手，也要保護這城。

bìng qiě wǒ yào jiù nǐ hé zhè chéng tuō lí yà shù wáng de shǒu ， yě yào bǎo hù zhè chéng 。

I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.

「我－耶和華必成就我所說的。我先給你一個兆頭，

「 wǒ — yē hé huá bì chéng jiù wǒ suǒ shuō de 。 wǒ xiān gěi nǐ yí gè zhào tou ，

This shall be the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he has spoken.

就是叫亞哈斯的日晷，向前進的日影往後退十度。」於是，前進的日影果然在日晷上往後退了十度。

jiù shì jiào yà hā sī de rì guǐ ， xiàng qián jìn de rì yǐng wǎng hòu tuì shí dù 。」 yú shì ， qián jìn de rì yǐng guǒ rán zài rì guǐ shàng wǎng hòu tuì le shí dù 。

Behold, I will cause the shadow on the sundial, which has gone down on the sundial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps.”’” So the sun returned ten steps on the sundial on which it had gone down.

猶大王希西家患病已經痊癒，就作詩說：

yóu dà wáng xī xī jiā huàn bìng yǐ jīng quán yù ， jiù zuò shī shuō ：

The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and had recovered of his sickness:

我說：正在我中年 之日 必進入陰間的門； 我餘剩的年歲不得享受。

wǒ shuō ： zhèng zài wǒ zhōng nián zhī rì bì jìn rù yīn jiān de mén ； wǒ yú shèng de nián suì bù dé xiǎng shòu 。

I said, “In the middle of my life I go into the gates of Sheol. I am deprived of the residue of my years.”

我說：我必不得見耶和華， 就是在活人之地不見耶和華； 我與世上的居民不再見面。

wǒ shuō ： wǒ bì bù dé jiàn yē hé huá ， jiù shì zài huó rén zhī dì bú jiàn yē hé huá ； wǒ yǔ shì shàng de jū mín bú zài jiàn miàn 。

I said, “I won’t see the LORD, the LORD in the land of the living. I will see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.

我的住處被遷去離開我， 好像牧人的帳棚一樣； 我將性命捲起， 像織布的捲布一樣。 耶和華必將我從機頭剪斷， 從早到晚，他要使我完結。

wǒ de zhù chù bèi qiān qù lí kāi wǒ ， hǎo xiàng mù rén de zhàng péng yí yàng ； wǒ jiāng xìng mìng juǎn qǐ ， xiàng zhī bù de juàn bù yí yàng 。 yē hé huá bì jiāng wǒ cóng jī tóu jiǎn duàn ， cóng zǎo dào wǎn ， tā yào shǐ wǒ wán jié 。

My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me like a shepherd’s tent. I have rolled up my life like a weaver. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

我使自己安靜直到天亮； 他像獅子折斷我一切的骨頭， 從早到晚，他要使我完結。

wǒ shǐ zì jǐ ān jìng zhí dào tiān liàng ； tā xiàng shī zi zhé duàn wǒ yí qiè de gǔ tou ， cóng zǎo dào wǎn ， tā yào shǐ wǒ wán jié 。

I waited patiently until morning. He breaks all my bones like a lion. From day even to night you will make an end of me.

我像燕子呢喃， 像白鶴鳴叫， 又像鴿子哀鳴； 我因仰觀，眼睛困倦。 耶和華啊，我受欺壓， 求你為我作保。

wǒ xiàng yàn zǐ ní nán ， xiàng bái hè míng jiào ， yòu xiàng gē zi āi míng ； wǒ yīn yǎng guān ， yǎn jīng kùn juàn 。 yē hé huá a ， wǒ shòu qī yā ， qiú nǐ wèi wǒ zuò bǎo 。

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

我可說甚麼呢？ 他應許我的，也給我成就了。 我因心裏的苦楚， 在一生的年日必悄悄而行。

wǒ kě shuō shén me ne ？ tā yīng xǔ wǒ de ， yě gěi wǒ chéng jiù le 。 wǒ yīn xīn lǐ de kǔ chǔ ， zài yì shēng de nián rì bì qiāo qiāo ér xíng 。

What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

主啊，人得存活乃在乎此。 我靈存活也全在此。 所以求你使我痊癒，仍然存活。

zhǔ a ， rén dé cún huó nǎi zài hū cǐ 。 wǒ líng cún huó yě quán zài cǐ 。 suǒ yǐ qiú nǐ shǐ wǒ quán yù ， réng rán cún huó 。

Lord, men live by these things; and my spirit finds life in all of them. You restore me, and cause me to live.

看哪，我受大苦，本為使我得平安； 你因愛我的靈魂 便救我脫離敗壞的坑， 因為你將我一切的罪扔在你的背後。

kàn nǎ ， wǒ shòu dà kǔ ， běn wèi shǐ wǒ dé píng ān ； nǐ yīn ài wǒ de líng hún biàn jiù wǒ tuō lí bài huài de kēng ， yīn wèi nǐ jiāng wǒ yí qiè de zuì rēng zài nǐ de bèi hòu 。

Behold, for peace I had great anguish, but you have in love for my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for you have cast all my sins behind your back.

原來，陰間不能稱謝你， 死亡不能頌揚你； 下坑的人不能盼望你的誠實。

yuán lái ， yīn jiān bù néng chēng xiè nǐ ， sǐ wáng bù néng sòng yáng nǐ ； xià kēng de rén bù néng pàn wàng nǐ de chéng shí 。

For Sheol can’t praise you. Death can’t celebrate you. Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.

只有活人，活人必稱謝你， 像我今日稱謝你一樣。 為父的，必使兒女知道你的誠實。

zhǐ yǒu huó rén ， huó rén bì chēng xiè nǐ ， xiàng wǒ jīn rì chēng xiè nǐ yí yàng 。 wèi fù de ， bì shǐ ér nǚ zhī dào nǐ de chéng shí 。

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

耶和華肯救我， 所以，我們要一生一世 在耶和華殿中 用絲弦的樂器唱我的詩歌。

yē hé huá kěn jiù wǒ ， suǒ yǐ ， wǒ men yào yì shēng yí shì zài yē hé huá diàn zhōng yòng sī xián de yuè qì chàng wǒ de shī gē 。

The LORD will save me. Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments all the days of our life in the LORD’s house.

以賽亞說：「當取一塊無花果餅來，貼在瘡上，王必痊癒。」

yǐ sài yà shuō ：「 dāng qǔ yí kuài wú huā guǒ bǐng lái ， tiē zài chuāng shàng ， wáng bì quán yù 。」

Now Isaiah had said, “Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a poultice on the boil, and he shall recover.”

希西家問說：「我能上耶和華的殿，有甚麼兆頭呢？」

xī xī jiā wèn shuō ：「 wǒ néng shàng yē hé huá de diàn ， yǒu shén me zhào tou ne ？」

Hezekiah also had said, “What is the sign that I will go up to the LORD’s house?”
