亞述王遣拉伯沙基毀謗永生天主、主爾之天主、或聞其言而加以譴責、求爾為此尚存之餘民祈禱、

It may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the field commander, whom his master, the king of Assyria, has sent to ridicule the living God, and that he will rebuke him for the words the Lord your God has heard. Therefore pray for the remnant that still survives.”

Perhaps the Lord your God will hear everything the field commander has said. His master, the king of Assyria, has sent him to make fun of the living God. Maybe the Lord your God will punish him for what he has heard him say. So pray for the remaining people who are still alive here.’ ”

It may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard; therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”

But perhaps the Lord your God has heard the Assyrian chief of staff, sent by the king to defy the living God, and will punish him for his words. Oh, pray for those of us who are left!”

Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the royal spokesman, whom his master the king of Assyria sent to mock the living God, and will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore offer a prayer for the surviving remnant.’”

Perhaps the Lord your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to taunt the living God, and will avenge the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, offer a prayer for the remnant that is left.’ ”

It may be that the Lord your God will hear the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the Lord your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”

列國諸上帝中、孰一救其國於我手、是則耶和華、焉能救耶路撒冷於我手乎、

民曰、如萬有之主耶和華、不俾我眾猶有孑遺、則必若所多馬、蛾摩拉矣。

以色列族其數雖多若海沙、而歸服者亦僅無幾、萬有之主耶和華、秉公行義以治民、必在國中、翦滅斯眾、其意已定。

於是欲加翦滅、惟有摩西、為上帝所遴選、代民祈求、爰息震怒、不殲斯族兮、

約拿單謂持兵之少者曰、敵不受割禮、盍適彼汛、庶幾耶和華祐我、蓋耶和華欲援我民、眾寡俱可用也。

亞述王遣臘沙基、侮永生之上帝、爾之上帝耶和華、或聞其言、而加以譴責、故請爾為遺民禱告於上、

告撒母耳曰、昔蹈罪愆者屢矣、今欲立王、愈形不善、故代我祈爾之上帝耶和華、免我死亡。

故我必使亞述王、率師襲之、若大河狂流、勢洶湧而逾岸、泛濫猶大國、幾將滅頂、左翼右翼之兵、遍於以馬內利四境。

我弗譴爾、遂謂我與人無異、我必責爾、彰爾罪戾兮、

爾所侮所欺者為誰、爾白眼而視、疾聲而呼、欲攻誰乎、豈非以色列族之聖者乎。爾遣僕侮耶和華云、我率眾車、已躋山巔、在利巴嫩旁、斫柏香木之高者、松柏之美者、我必造其極處、奪其良田、

以色列王、以拉子何西七年、即希西家王四年、亞述王撒馬尼斯環攻撒馬利亞、越至三年、即以色列王何西九年、希西家王六年、其城乃陷、亞述王虜以色列族至亞述、置於坷散河旁之哈臘、哈拔、及米太族諸邑。以色列族不遵其上帝耶和華命、背其約、不聽從其僕摩西所傳之禁令、故遘此災。○希西家王十四年、亞述王西拿基立攻陷猶大諸邑、猶大王希西家遣人至拉吉、見亞述王曰、我知罪矣、請勿侵我國、惟爾命是聽。亞述王責貢於猶大王希西家金四萬五千兩、銀四十五萬兩。希西家以耶和華殿、與王宮府庫、所有之銀、悉以為饋、剝耶和華殿門之金、及自飾於殿柱者、俱饋亞述王。

以賽亞言以色列人曰、以色列眾子、其數雖如海沙、而得救者有幾、

宜各自言其罪、代之祈禱、以望疾瘳、蓋義者勤求無已、獲益不淺、

臘沙基遂立、用猶大方言、大聲呼曰、亞述大王之言、爾其聽之、

爾素聞亞納族居於是山、其邑垣高大、今求爾以耶和華所許之山賜我、如蒙耶和華祐我、則可逐之、踐其前言。

諳悉仁義、服膺我法者、宜聽我言、人侮慢爾、爾勿畏葸。彼必消亡、若衣為蠹所嚙、若毛為蟲所蛀、惟我施仁義以救民、歷代弗替。

庶幾耶和華眷顧我。緣其咒詛、加我以善。

祭司在耶和華前、供厥役事、當於廡下祭壇間、澘然出涕、曰、耶和華與、斯民也、本屬乎爾、求爾寛宥、不致蒙羞、為異邦人所統轄、異邦人凌侮之、曰、爾之上帝安在、亦奚以為、

爾所侮所欺者為誰、爾白眼而視、疾聲而呼、欲攻誰乎。豈非以色列族之聖者乎。爾遣人侮耶和華云、我率眾軍、已躋山巔、在利巴嫩旁、斫柏香木之高者、松柏之美者、我必造其極處、奪其良田。

我震怒斯民、使亞述人、為杖箠以擊之、亞述人亦有禍矣、我民偽善、我必震怒、使亞述人擊之、攘奪其貨、蹂躪其身、若逵衢之糞壤。

請於撒母耳曰、為我呼籲耶和華不絕、俾得救我於非利士人手。

亞哈士違逆耶和華、使猶大族效己、故耶和華降災猶大。

我為爾祈禱、無時或忘、否則犯罪於耶和華。又必以善道真理指示於爾。

惡惡好善、在彼公庭、秉諸公義、庶幾萬有之主耶和華、矜憫約瑟之遺民。

獅與熊尚被僕所殺、此未受割禮之非利士人、既侮永生上帝之軍、亦必如是。

或立於傍、大闢問之曰、能殺此非利士人、洒恥於以色列族者、將何所得。非利士人未受割禮、安敢侮永生上帝之軍乎。

故耶和華怒以色列族、驅於其前、靡有孑遺、所餘者惟猶大族而已。

勿為希西家所惑、而信其言、蓋列邦之上帝、無能拯其民於我祖及我之手、則爾上帝必不能援爾於我手。使臣復訕上帝耶和華、及其僕希西家。致書侮以色列族之上帝耶和華、訕之曰、列邦之上帝、不拯其國、脫於我手、故希西家之上帝、亦不能救其民脫於我手。亞述王之使臣、用猶大方言、大聲呼耶路撒冷城上之民、使之恐懼觳觫、以陷其城。訕耶路撒冷之上帝、與訕人手所作列邦之上帝無異。希西家王亞麼士子先知以賽亞、呼天祈禱。

希西家言、爾必見拯於耶和華、爾勿聽焉、四方民所事之上帝、豈得救其國、脫於亞述王手乎、
