以赛亚书 38-39
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
希西家遘疾祈祷
38 那时,希西家病得要死。亚摩斯的儿子先知以赛亚去见他,对他说:“耶和华如此说:你当留遗命于你的家,因为你必死,不能活了。” 2 希西家就转脸朝墙,祷告耶和华说: 3 “耶和华啊,求你记念我在你面前怎样存完全的心,按诚实行事,又做你眼中所看为善的。”希西家就痛哭了。
以赛亚奉谕慰藉之
4 耶和华的话临到以赛亚说: 5 “你去告诉希西家说:‘耶和华你祖大卫的神如此说:我听见了你的祷告,看见了你的眼泪。我必加增你十五年的寿数, 6 并且我要救你和这城脱离亚述王的手,也要保护这城。 7 我耶和华必成就我所说的,我先给你一个兆头, 8 就是叫亚哈斯的日晷向前进的日影往后退十度。’”于是前进的日影果然在日晷上往后退了十度。
希西家感恩之歌
9 犹大王希西家患病已经痊愈,就作诗说: 10 “我说,正在我中年[a]之日,必进入阴间的门,我余剩的年岁不得享受。 11 我说,我必不得见耶和华,就是在活人之地不见耶和华,我与世上的居民不再见面。 12 我的住处被迁去离开我,好像牧人的帐篷一样。我将性命卷起,像织布的卷布一样,耶和华必将我从机头剪断;从早到晚,他要使我完结。 13 我使自己安静直到天亮,他像狮子折断我一切的骨头;从早到晚,他要使我完结。 14 我像燕子呢喃,像白鹤鸣叫,又像鸽子哀鸣,我因仰观,眼睛困倦。耶和华啊,我受欺压,求你为我作保! 15 我可说什么呢?他应许我的,也给我成就了。我因心里的苦楚,在一生的年日必悄悄而行。 16 主啊,人得存活乃在乎此,我灵存活也全在此,所以求你使我痊愈,仍然存活。 17 看哪,我受大苦本为使我得平安,你因爱我的灵魂[b],便救我脱离败坏的坑,因为你将我一切的罪扔在你的背后。 18 原来阴间不能称谢你,死亡不能颂扬你,下坑的人不能盼望你的诚实。 19 只有活人,活人必称谢你,像我今日称谢你一样,为父的必使儿女知道你的诚实。 20 耶和华肯救我,所以我们要一生一世,在耶和华殿中用丝弦的乐器唱我的诗歌。”
21 以赛亚说:“当取一块无花果饼来,贴在疮上,王必痊愈。” 22 希西家问说:“我能上耶和华的殿,有什么兆头呢?”
巴比伦王馈礼希西家以宝物示其使
39 那时,巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子米罗达巴拉但听见希西家病而痊愈,就送书信和礼物给他。 2 希西家喜欢见使者,就把自己宝库的金子、银子、香料、贵重的膏油和他武库的一切军器,并所有的财宝,都给他们看。他家中和全国之内,希西家没有一样不给他们看的。 3 于是先知以赛亚来见希西家王,问他说:“这些人说什么?他们从哪里来见你?”希西家说:“他们从远方的巴比伦来见我。” 4 以赛亚说:“他们在你家里看见了什么?”希西家说:“凡我家中所有的,他们都看见了,我财宝中没有一样不给他们看的。”
以赛亚预言以色列人之被掳
5 以赛亚对希西家说:“你要听万军之耶和华的话: 6 日子必到,凡你家里所有的,并你列祖积蓄到如今的,都要被掳到巴比伦去,不留下一样。这是耶和华说的。 7 并且从你本身所生的众子,其中必有被掳去,在巴比伦王宫里当太监的。” 8 希西家对以赛亚说:“你所说耶和华的话甚好。因为在我的年日中,必有太平和稳固的景况。”

Isaiah 38-39
New International Version
Hezekiah’s Illness(A)
38 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz(B) went to him and said, “This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order,(C) because you are going to die; you will not recover.”(D)
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 “Remember, Lord, how I have walked(E) before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion(F) and have done what is good in your eyes.(G)” And Hezekiah wept(H) bitterly.
4 Then the word(I) of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 “Go and tell Hezekiah, ‘This is what the Lord, the God of your father David,(J) says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears;(K) I will add fifteen years(L) to your life. 6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend(M) this city.
7 “‘This is the Lord’s sign(N) to you that the Lord will do what he has promised: 8 I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.’” So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.(O)
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:
10 I said, “In the prime of my life(P)
must I go through the gates of death(Q)
and be robbed of the rest of my years?(R)”
11 I said, “I will not again see the Lord himself(S)
in the land of the living;(T)
no longer will I look on my fellow man,
or be with those who now dwell in this world.
12 Like a shepherd’s tent(U) my house
has been pulled down(V) and taken from me.
Like a weaver I have rolled(W) up my life,
and he has cut me off from the loom;(X)
day and night(Y) you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently(Z) till dawn,
but like a lion he broke(AA) all my bones;(AB)
day and night(AC) you made an end of me.
14 I cried like a swift or thrush,
I moaned like a mourning dove.(AD)
My eyes grew weak(AE) as I looked to the heavens.
I am being threatened; Lord, come to my aid!”(AF)
15 But what can I say?(AG)
He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this.(AH)
I will walk humbly(AI) all my years
because of this anguish of my soul.(AJ)
16 Lord, by such things people live;
and my spirit finds life in them too.
You restored me to health
and let me live.(AK)
17 Surely it was for my benefit(AL)
that I suffered such anguish.(AM)
In your love you kept me
from the pit(AN) of destruction;
you have put all my sins(AO)
behind your back.(AP)
18 For the grave(AQ) cannot praise you,
death cannot sing your praise;(AR)
those who go down to the pit(AS)
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise(AT) you,
as I am doing today;
parents tell their children(AU)
about your faithfulness.
20 The Lord will save me,
and we will sing(AV) with stringed instruments(AW)
all the days of our lives(AX)
in the temple(AY) of the Lord.
21 Isaiah had said, “Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover.”
22 Hezekiah had asked, “What will be the sign(AZ) that I will go up to the temple of the Lord?”
Envoys From Babylon(BA)
39 At that time Marduk-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon(BB) sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of his illness and recovery. 2 Hezekiah received the envoys(BC) gladly and showed them what was in his storehouses—the silver, the gold,(BD) the spices, the fine olive oil—his entire armory and everything found among his treasures.(BE) There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did not show them.
3 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,(BF)” Hezekiah replied. “They came to me from Babylon.”
4 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.”
5 Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word(BG) of the Lord Almighty: 6 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.(BH) Nothing will be left, says the Lord. 7 And some of your descendants, 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.(BI)”
8 “The word of the Lord you have spoken is good,(BJ)” Hezekiah replied. For he thought, “There will be peace and security in my lifetime.(BK)”
