參謀長對他們說：『我主上差遣我來說這些話，豈是單單對你主上和你說的呢？不也是對這些坐在城上、要和你們一同喫自己糞喝自己尿的人說的麼？』

拉伯沙基说：“我主差遣我来，岂是单对你和你的主说这些话吗？不也是对这些坐在城上、要与你们一同吃自己粪喝自己尿的人说吗？”

将军说：“我主差遣我来，岂是单对你和你的主人说这些话吗？不也是对这些坐在城墙上，要与你们一同吃自己粪、喝自己尿的人说的吗？”

将军说：“我主差遣我来，岂是单对你和你的主人说这些话吗？不也是对这些坐在城墙上，要与你们一同吃自己粪、喝自己尿的人说的吗？”

亚述的将军却说：“难道我主派我来只对希西迦和你们说这些话吗？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。”

但拉伯沙基说：“我主差派我来，只是对你和你的主说这些话吗？不也是对那些坐在城墙上，要和你们一同吃自己的粪、喝自己的尿的人说吗？”

将军却说：“难道我的主人派我来，只对你和你的主人说这些话吗？不也对那些坐在城墙上，将与你们一同吃自己粪、喝自己尿的人说话吗？”

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？」

將軍說：「我主差遣我來，豈是單對你和你的主人說這些話嗎？不也是對這些坐在城牆上，要與你們一同吃自己糞、喝自己尿的人說的嗎？」

將軍說：「我主差遣我來，豈是單對你和你的主人說這些話嗎？不也是對這些坐在城牆上，要與你們一同吃自己糞、喝自己尿的人說的嗎？」

亞述的將軍卻說：「難道我主派我來只對希西迦和你們說這些話嗎？不也是對城牆上的人說嗎？他們和你們一樣都要吃自己的糞，喝自己的尿。」

但拉伯沙基說：“我主差派我來，只是對你和你的主說這些話嗎？不也是對那些坐在城牆上，要和你們一同吃自己的糞、喝自己的尿的人說嗎？”

將軍卻說：「難道我的主人派我來，只對你和你的主人說這些話嗎？不也對那些坐在城牆上，將與你們一同吃自己糞、喝自己尿的人說話嗎？」

拉伯沙基曰、我主遣我、豈以此言僅告爾主及爾乎、非亦告坐於城上、將同爾食己矢、飲己溺之人乎、

臘沙基曰、我主遣我、不第與爾、及爾主言也、亦使我與城上之民言、使彼及爾、自啖其遺溺、

拉伯沙基曰、我主王遣我、豈使我以此言僅告爾主王與爾乎、非使我告坐於城上之民、將偕爾食己糞飲己溺者乎、

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 people sitting on the wall— who, like you, will have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine?”

But the commander replied,“ My master sent me to say these things. Are these words only for your master and you to hear? Aren’t they also for the people sitting on the wall? They are going to suffer just like you. They’ll have to eat their own waste. They’ll have to drink their own urine.”

But the Rabshakeh said,“ Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are doomed with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?”

But Sennacherib’s chief of staff replied,“ Do you think my master sent this message only to you and your master? He wants all the people to hear it, for when we put this city under siege, they will suffer along with you. They will be so hungry and thirsty that they will eat their own dung and drink their own urine.”

But the royal spokesman replied,“ Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men who are sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine?”

But Rabshakeh said,“ Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, doomed to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”

But the Rabshakeh said,“ Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat and drink their own waste with you?”

But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?

But the Rabshakeh replied,“ Has my master sent me to speak these words to your master and to you, and not to the men who are sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine?”

But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words?[ hath he] not[ sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

But the chief adviser said,“ My master did not send me to speak these words only to your master and to you. His message is also for the men who sit on the wall, for they will eat their own excrement and drink their own urine along with you!”

But Rabshakeh said,“ Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”

參謀長對他們說：『我主上差遣我來說這些話，豈是單對你和你主上說的呢？不也是對這些坐在城上、要和你們一同喫自己糞喝自己尿的人說的麼？』

人右邊割肉喫，仍然饑餓；左邊吞喫，仍不覺得飽：各人竟喫自己膀臂的肉；

你的仇敵窘迫你、你在被圍困被窘迫時、必喫你腹中的果子、就是永恆主你的上帝所賜給你的兒女的肉。你中間柔弱而極嬌嫩的人必惡眉惡眼斜視着他弟兄、和他懷中的妻、跟他所剩下的兒女；甚至在你的仇敵窘迫你、而你在各城內被圍困被窘迫時、他所要喫的兒女的肉、他也不肯分一點給他的親人，因為他一無所剩。你中間柔弱嬌養的婦人素來因嬌養柔弱未曾試把腳掌踏地的、必惡眉惡眼斜視着她懷中的丈夫和她的兒女；連從她兩腿間出的胞衣和她所要生的兒女、在你的仇敵把你窘迫在你各城內、而你在被圍困窘迫時、她因樣樣缺乏、也必將胞衣和生兒暗暗地喫掉。

被刀刺死的比被饑荒餓死的還好，因為前者雖被刺傷，還可以喫田間的出產。慈心的婦人，親手煮自己生的孩子；當我眾民遭破毁時，親生孩子做了自己的食品。

他又對我說：『人子啊，看吧，我必折斷耶路撒冷中糧食的支杖；他們喫飯要按分兩、懷着掛慮的心情喫；他們喝水也要按分量驚慌慌地喝。

當時在撒瑪利亞正鬧着大饑荒；他們繼續地圍困它，甚至一個驢頭也值得八十錠銀子，二升四分之一的鴿子糞也值得五錠銀子。有一次以色列王在城牆上經過，有一個婦人向他哀叫說：『我主我王啊，拯救哦！』王說：『不；願永恆主拯救！我從哪裏拯救你呢？從禾場上呢？還是從酒池裏呢？』王問她說：『你怎麼啦？』她回答說：『這婦人對我說：「將你兒子交給我，讓我們今天來喫他；我兒子呢、明天我們再來喫。」我們就把我兒子煮了喫。第二天我對她說：「將你兒子交給我，讓我們來喫他呀」；她卻把自己的兒子藏起來。」

你們必喫自己兒子們的肉，你們自己女兒們的肉、你們也要喫。

在他們被圍困被窘迫之中、就是當仇敵和尋索他們性命的人窘迫他們之時、我必使他們喫自己兒女的肉，各人喫朋友的肉。」
