열왕기하 20
Korean Living Bible
히스기야왕의 병과 회복
20 이때 히스기야왕이 병들어 죽게 되었다. 그래서 아모스의 아들 예언 자 이사야가 그에게 가서 이렇게 말하였다. “여호와께서는 왕이 회복되지 못할 것이므로 모든 것을 정리하고 죽을 준비를 하라고 말씀하셨습니다.”
2 그러자 히스기야는 얼굴을 벽 쪽으로 돌리고
3 “여호와여, 내가 마음을 다하여 주를 성실하게 섬긴 일과 내가 주 앞에서 선하게 살려고 했던 것을 기억하소서” 하고 기도하며 크게 통곡하였다.
4 이사야가 왕 앞에서 물러나 궁전 뜰 중앙을 나오기도 전에 여호와께서 그에게 말씀하셨다.
5 “너는 내 백성의 지도자 히스기야에게 돌아가서 그의 조상 다윗의 하나님 나 여호와가 이렇게 말한다고 일러 주어라. ‘나는 네 기도를 들었고 네 눈물을 보았다. 내가 너를 고칠 것이며 너는 3일 만에 성전으로 올라갈 것이다.
6 내가 네 수명을 15년 더 연장할 것이며 너와 이 성을 앗시리아 왕의 손에서 구하고 나의 명예와 내 종 다윗을 위해 내가 이 성을 지키고 보호할 것이다.’ ”
7 그러고서 이사야는 무화과를 가져오라고 지시하였다. 그래서 왕의 시종들이 그것을 으깨 가지고 왕의 종기에 붙이자 그 상처가 나았다.
8 그때 히스기야왕이 이사야에게 물었다. “여호와께서 나를 고치시고 내가 3일 만에 성전으로 올라가게 할 것이라고 말씀하셨는데 그것을 확증해 줄 만한 무슨 표적이 있습니까?”
9 “여호와께서 약속하신 것을 지키시겠다는 표적을 왕에게 주실 것입니다. 왕은 해 그림자가 10도 앞으로 나아가는 것을 원하십니까? 아니면 10도 뒤로 물러가는 것을 원하십니까?”
10 “그림자가 10도 앞으로 나아가기는 쉬운 일입니다. 그러므로 그 그림자를 10도 뒤로 물러가게 하십시오.”
11 그래서 이사야가 여호와께 기도하자 여호와께서는 아하스왕이 만들어 놓은 일영표의 해 그림자가 10도 뒤로 물러가게 하셨다.
바빌로니아의 사절단
12 그때 발라단의 아들인 바빌로니아의 [a]므로닥 – 발라단왕이 히스기야가 병들었다는 말을 듣고 문병 편지와 선물을 보냈다.
13 히스기야는 문병 온 사절들을 환영하고 그들에게 자기 창고에 있는 은과 금과 향품과 값진 기름과 그리고 무기고에 있는 모든 것을 다 보여 주었으며 궁전과 나라 안에 있는 소중한 것 중에 보여 주지 않은 것이 하나도 없었다.
14 그때 예언자 이사야가 히스기야왕에게 가서 물었다. “이 사람들이 왕에게 무슨 말을 하였으며 또 이들은 어디서 왔습니까?” “그들은 먼 나라 바빌로니아에서 왔습니다.”
15 “그들이 궁전에서 무엇을 보았습니까?” “그들은 모든 것을 다 보았으며 궁전 창고에 있는 것 중에서 내가 그들에게 보여 주지 않은 것이 하나도 없습니다.”
16 그때 이사야가 히스기야왕에게 말하였다. “왕은 여호와의 말씀을 들으십시오.
17 여호와께서는 왕의 조상들이 오늘날까지 궁전 창고에 쌓아 둔 그 모든 것이 바빌로니아로 옮겨지고 하나도 남지 않을 것이며
18 또 왕의 아들 중 몇 사람이 끌려가 바빌로니아 왕의 궁전에서 내시가 될 것이라고 말씀하셨습니다.”
19 그러자 히스기야왕은 적어도 자기 시대에는 평화와 안전이 있을 것을 알고 “당신이 말한 여호와의 말씀은 다 좋습니다” 하고 대답하였다.
20 그 밖에 히스기야왕이 행한 모든 일과 그의 업적과 또 그가 저수지와 수로를 만들어 물을 성 안으로 끌어들인 일은 유다 왕들의 역사책에 기록되어 있다.
21 그는 [b]죽어 자기 조상들 곁에 장사되었고 그의 아들 므낫세가 왕위를 계승하였다.

希西家病危与康复(A)
20 在那些日子,希西家病得要死了。亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚先知来见他,对他说:“耶和华这样说:‘你要留遗命给你的家人,因为你将要死,不能再活了。’” 2 他却转脸向墙,祷告耶和华说: 3 “唉,耶和华啊!求你记念我曾怎样以真诚和完全的心在你面前行事为人,我所行的都是你看为善的事。”希西家就痛哭起来。 4 以赛亚还没有出到中院,耶和华的话就临到他说: 5 “你回去对我子民的君主希西家说:‘你祖大卫的 神耶和华这样说:我听见了你的祷告,看见了你的眼泪。看哪,我必医治你,第三日你要上耶和华的殿。 6 我必把十五年的寿命增添给你。我要拯救你和这城脱离亚述王的手,又要因我自己和我仆人大卫的缘故保护这城。’” 7 以赛亚说:“取一片无花果饼来。”他们就取了来,把它贴在疮上。希西家就痊愈了。
8 希西家对以赛亚说:“有甚么征兆告诉我耶和华必医治我,第三日我能上耶和华的殿呢?” 9 以赛亚说:“这就是耶和华给你的征兆,显明耶和华必成全他应许的这事:你要日影向前进十级或是倒退十级呢?” 10 希西家说:“日影延伸十级容易;不,我要日影倒后十级。” 11 以赛亚先知呼求耶和华,他就使日晷上的日影,就是在亚哈斯的日晷上已经下移的日影倒退了十级。
希西家展示所有宝物(B)
12 那时,巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子比罗达.巴拉但送信和礼物给希西家,因为他听见希西家病了。 13 希西家听了使者的话,随后把宝库内的一切银子、金子、香料、贵重的油和军器库,以及他宝库内一切所有的,都给他们看。无论是在他的宫中或是在全国各地的,希西家没有一样不给他们看的。 14 后来,以赛亚先知来到希西家王那里,对他说:“这些人说了些甚么?他们是从哪里来见你的呢?”希西家说:“他们是从遥远的巴比伦来见我的。” 15 以赛亚说:“他们在你宫中看到了甚么呢?”希西家说:“我宫中的一切,他们都看见了。在我宝库内的,我没有一样不给他们看的。”
以赛亚预言被掳(C)
16 以赛亚对希西家说:“你要听耶和华的话: 17 ‘看哪,日子快到,那时你宫中的一切和你的祖先所积存直到今日的一切,都要被掠到巴比伦去,没有一样留下。’这是耶和华说的。 18 并且你的众子中,就是由你所出,你所生的,有一部分要被掳去。他们要在巴比伦王的王宫中当太监。” 19 希西家对以赛亚说:“你所说耶和华的话很好。”他心里说:“在我的日子有和平和安全不是很好吗?” 20 希西家其余的事迹和他所有的英勇事迹,以及他做水池和引水道,把水引入城里的事,不是都写在犹大列王的年代志上吗? 21 希西家和他的祖先一同长眠,他的儿子玛拿西就接续他作王。
2 Kings 20
New International Version
Hezekiah’s Illness(A)
20 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover.”
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember,(B) Lord, how I have walked(C) before you faithfully(D) and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him: 5 “Go back and tell Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard(E) your prayer and seen your tears;(F) I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the Lord. 6 I will add fifteen years to your life. And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend(G) this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.’”
7 Then Isaiah said, “Prepare a poultice of figs.” They did so and applied it to the boil,(H) and he recovered.
8 Hezekiah had asked Isaiah, “What will be the sign that the Lord will heal me and that I will go up to the temple of the Lord on the third day from now?”
9 Isaiah answered, “This is the Lord’s sign(I) to you that the Lord will do what he has promised: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?”
10 “It is a simple(J) matter for the shadow to go forward ten steps,” said Hezekiah. “Rather, have it go back ten steps.”
11 Then the prophet Isaiah called on the Lord, and the Lord made the shadow go back(K) the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.
Envoys From Babylon(L)(M)
12 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of Hezekiah’s illness. 13 Hezekiah received the envoys and showed them all that was in his storehouses—the silver, the gold, the spices and the fine olive oil—his armory and everything found among his treasures. There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.
14 Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah and asked, “What did those men say, and where did they come from?”
“From a distant land,” Hezekiah replied. “They came from Babylon.”
15 The prophet asked, “What did they see in your palace?”
“They saw everything in my palace,” Hezekiah said. “There is nothing among my treasures that I did not show them.”
16 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord: 17 The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon.(N) Nothing will be left, says the Lord. 18 And some of your descendants,(O) your own flesh and blood who will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.”(P)
19 “The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,” Hezekiah replied. For he thought, “Will there not be peace and security in my lifetime?”
20 As for the other events of Hezekiah’s reign, all his achievements and how he made the pool(Q) and the tunnel(R) by which he brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah? 21 Hezekiah rested with his ancestors. And Manasseh his son succeeded him as king.
2 Kings 20
King James Version
20 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live.
2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the Lord, saying,
3 I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.
4 And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord.
6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
7 And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.
8 And Hezekiah said unto Isaiah, What shall be the sign that the Lord will heal me, and that I shall go up into the house of the Lord the third day?
9 And Isaiah said, This sign shalt thou have of the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.
11 And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the Lord: and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down in the dial of Ahaz.
12 At that time Berodachbaladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present unto Hezekiah: for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.
13 And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and shewed them all the house of his precious things, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah shewed them not.
14 Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him, What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee? And Hezekiah said, They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.
15 And he said, What have they seen in thine house? And Hezekiah answered, All the things that are in mine house have they seen: there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shewed them.
16 And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the Lord.
17 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried into Babylon: nothing shall be left, saith the Lord.
18 And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, which thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.
19 Then said Hezekiah unto Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which thou hast spoken. And he said, Is it not good, if peace and truth be in my days?
20 And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
21 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
