列王纪下第20章

《圣经》列王纪下-第20章

王下20:1 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：‘你当留遗命与你的家，因为你必死，不能活了。’” (串)本章1-11赛38:1-8|代下32:24|撒下17:23

†[吕]当那些日子、希西家病得要死。亚摩斯的儿子神言人以赛亚去见他，对他说：“永恒主这么说：“你该立遗嘱理家事，因为你一定死，你活不了啦。’”

†[思]在那些日子内，希则克雅患病垂危，阿摩兹的儿子依撒意亚来看他，对他说：“上主这样说：快料理你的家务，因为你快要死，不能久活了。”

†[当代]希西家王病重垂危之际，先知以赛亚来探望他说：“主这样说：‘你要赶快料理一切事务，因为你必要死了。’”

†[新译]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。’”

†[Wlb]维时、希西家遘疾濒死、亚摩斯子先知以赛亚来见之、曰、耶和华云、尔当处置家事、盖尔必死、不得生存、

†[Xdv]约在这时候，希西家王害病，几乎死去。亚摩斯的儿子以赛亚去见王，对他说：“上主这样说：‘你要处理未了的事务，因为你不能康复了；你准备后事吧。’”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, went to him and said to him, "Thus says the LORD: "Set your house in order, for you shall die, and not live."'

†[BBE]In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.

†[GNT] About this time King Hezekiah became sick and almost died. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to see him and said to him, "The Lord tells you that you are to put everything in order, because you will not recover. Get ready to die."

†[NIV]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."

本会注释　　那时。指希西家十四年西拿基立第一次进攻犹大的时候。连同对希西家得以痊愈的应许，耶和华说祂要救耶路撒冷脱离亚述王的手并加增希西家十五年的寿数（王下20:6）。这就与西拿基立在希西家十四年第一次进攻犹大（见@王下18:13@注释），以及希西家做犹大王二十九年（王下18:2）的细节相吻合了。关于希西家患病以及康复的相应记载，见赛第38,39章和代下32:24-31。
　　你当留遗命与你的家。这道命令揭示了先知传信息给希西家的原因。有些事要做必要的处理，比如说王位的交接，或许还有他自己心灵上的一些准备。
　　因为你必死。疾病发展下去自然会死亡。先知的预言只是提前告诉王当时已存在之事态的结果。但随着事态的变化，预言的事也会变化（见第5节）。有些预言并不一定是绝对的，而是带有条件的，比如约拿对尼尼微所传的警告（拿3:4-10）。

王下20:2 希西家就转脸朝墙，祷告耶和华说：

†[吕]希西家就转脸朝墙，祷告永恒主说：

†[思]希则克雅就转面向墙，恳求上主说：“

†[当代]希西家听见这些话，转脸向墙，祈求主说：

†[新译]他却转脸向墙，祷告耶和华说：

†[Wlb]希西家面壁、祷耶和华曰、

†[Xdv]希西家转脸向着墙壁，祷告说：

†[Kjv]Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying,

†[Nkjv]Then he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to the LORD, saying,

†[BBE]Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

†[GNT] Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed:

†[NIV]Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord ,

本会注释　　尽管先知的信息说希西家的死亡是不可避免的，但他并没有断定自己的祷告就是无效的。如果我们祷告，上帝就会为我们行在我们不祷告的情形下祂不会为我们行的事。但恳求医治必须存着顺从的精神。惟有上帝知道答应一个人的恳求是否对他真正有利并有助于增加上帝的荣耀。有些人在为病人祷告时犯了一个错误，他们只是一味地要求这个受苦的人复原。在很多情况下这些人的生命得以幸存并不能荣耀上帝。对这些人来说，进入安息等待将来荣耀的复活也许会更好（见《教会证言》卷二第148,149页）。希西家寿数的增加导致了王生命中最大的一个错误（第12-19节）。如果他在祷告中加上，“然而，不要照我的意思，只要照你的意思”（太26:39），他也许会去世，但留下了一个相对完美的人生记录。

王下20:3 “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。 (串)尼5:19;13:14,22,31|王上2:4;3:6;9:4|王上8:61代下19:9|代下31:20

†[吕]“哦，永恒主阿，求你记得：我怎样以纯全的心忠诚诚地在你面前往来，又怎样行你所看为善的事。”祷告完了，希西家就大哭一场。

†[思]上主，求你记忆我如何怀着忠诚齐全的心，在你面前行走；如何作了你视为正义的事。”然后希则克雅放声大哭。

†[当代]“主啊，请你记念我怎样尽心忠诚地服从你，做你喜欢的事┅┅”希西家伤心欲绝，竟然哭了起来。

†[新译]“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。

†[Wlb]耶和华欤、求尔垂念、我在尔前、行为诚实、心志专一、行尔所悦、遂哭甚哀、

†[Xdv]“上主啊，求你记得我始终忠诚一心一意事奉你，你要我做什么，我就做什么。”他禁不住号咷痛哭起来。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]"Remember now, O LORD, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what was good in Your sight." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

†[BBE]O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

†[GNT] "Remember, Lord, that I have served you faithfully and loyally and that I have always tried to do what you wanted me to." And he began to cry bitterly.

†[NIV]Remember, O Lord , how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.

本会注释　　希西家的祷告在要放在当时的亮光下来判断。在目前属灵亮光充足的时代，一个人如果要用他的好行为作为上帝施恩的前提和基础，那我们一般不会认为他是对的。人所有的努力在上帝的标准面前实在是可怜而又微不足道的，因此，恳求的人必须依靠完全不属于自己的功劳。当然，我们尽力顺应条件，提出上帝的应许作为我们信心的依据还是合适的。

王下20:4 以赛亚出来，还没有到中院（院：或作城），耶和华的话就临到他，说：

†[吕]以赛亚出来，还没有到中院，永恒主的话就传与他、说：

†[思]依撒意亚出来，还没有走到中院，上主的话传于他说：“

†[当代]当以赛亚离开，还没有走出中院时，主的话就临到他说：

†[新译]以赛亚还没有出到中院，耶和华的话就临到他说：

†[Wlb]以赛亚尚未出中院、耶和华谕之曰、

†[Xdv]以赛亚刚从国王那里出来，还没走过王宫的中央庭院，上主要他

†[Kjv]And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

†[Nkjv]And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

†[BBE]Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

†[GNT] Isaiah left the king, but before he had passed through the central courtyard of the palace the Lord told him

†[NIV]Before Isaiah had left the middle court, the word of the Lord came to him:

本会注释　　希西家很快得到了答复。以赛亚还没有离开王宫就奉命返回见王。上帝总是倾听人心中所发出的最恳切最热诚的祷告。我们或是像希西家那样，迅速得到直接的答复，或是我们得到的答复不能使自己满意，但无论怎样，耶和华垂听了我们的祷告，并且叫万事互相效力，让爱祂的人得益处（罗8:28）。

王下20:5 “你回去告诉我民的君希西家说：耶和华你祖大卫的上帝如此说：‘我听见了你的祷告，看见了你的眼泪，我必医治你；到第三日，你必上到耶和华的殿。 (串)撒上9:16;10:1|王下19:20诗65:2|诗39:12;56:8

†[吕]“你回去，对我子民的人君希西家说：‘永恒主你祖大卫的上帝这么说：你的祷告我听见了；你的眼泪我看见了；看吧，我必将你医好，第三天你就能上永恒主的殿。

†[思]你回去，告诉我人民的领袖希则克雅说：上主，你祖先达味的天主这样说：我听见了你的祈祷，看见了你的眼泪。看，我必要治好你，第叁天你就能上上主的殿。

†[当代]“回去见我子民的领袖希西家，告诉他说：‘他祖先大卫的主上帝已经听到他的祷告，也见到他的眼泪。我要医治他，三天之后，他必能起床，并且可以上圣殿去。

†[新译]“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。

†[Wlb]返告我民之君希西家曰、尔祖大卫之上帝耶和华云、我已闻尔祷、见尔泪、必疗尔疾、越至三日、尔必登耶和华室、

†[Xdv]回到他子民的领袖希西家那里，对他说：“我──上主、你祖先大卫的上帝听到了你的祷告，也看见了你的眼泪。我要医治你；三天之内，你就可以上圣殿去。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]"Return and tell Hezekiah the leader of My people, "Thus says the LORD, the God of David your father: "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; surely I will heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the house of the LORD.

†[BBE]Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, The Lord, the God of David your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping; see, I will make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.

†[GNT] to go back to Hezekiah, ruler of the Lord's people, and say to him, "I, the Lord, the God of your ancestor David, have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you, and in three days you will go to the Temple.

†[NIV]Go back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of my people, 'This is what the Lord , the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you. On the third day from now you will go up to the temple of the Lord .

本会注释　　君。直译是“领导，”“领袖，”是对分别出来治理上帝百姓之人的尊称（撒上9:16；10:1；13:14；撒下5:2；王上1:35）。
　　我必医治你。上帝可以在瞬时之间治好希西家的病，但祂他没有选择那样做。
　　第三日。第三日指后天，后天希西家就可以上到圣殿去称颂感谢上帝。这里暗示希西家在康复之后首先要做的就是到圣殿中去感谢上帝。

王下20:6 我必加增你十五年的寿数，并且我要救你和这城脱离亚述王的手。我为自己和我仆人大卫的缘故，必保护这城。’” (串)王下19:34

†[吕]我必增加你在世的日子十五年；我必援救你和这城脱离亚述王的手掌；为了我自己的缘故、又为了我仆人大卫的缘故、我必围护这城。”

†[思]我要在你的寿数上多加十五年，且由亚述王手中拯救你和这座城；为了我自己和我的仆人达味，我必要保护这座城。”

†[当代]为了我自己和我仆人大卫的缘故，我要加添他十五年的寿命，又要救他和这城脱离亚述人的手。’”

†[新译]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。’”

†[Wlb]我必增尔寿十五年、且救尔与此城、脱于亚述王手、亦为己及我仆大卫故、扞卫此城、

†[Xdv]我要使你多活十五年，要拯救你和耶路撒冷城脱离亚述皇帝的手。我要为自己的缘故，和我仆人大卫的缘故，保卫这城。”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.""'

†[BBE]I will give you fifteen more years of life; and I will keep you and this town safe from the hands of the king of Assyria; I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.

†[GNT] I will let you live fifteen years longer. I will rescue you and this city Jerusalem from the emperor of Assyria. I will defend this city, for the sake of my own honor and because of the promise I made to my servant David."

†[NIV]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 this city for my sake and for the sake of my servant David.' "

本会注释　　十五年。见第1节注释。

王下20:7 以赛亚说：“当取一块无花果饼来。”人就取了来，贴在疮上，王便痊愈了。

†[吕]以赛亚说：“取一块无花果饼来”；人就取了来，贴在疮上，王就复了元。”

†[思]依撒意亚遂吩咐说：“拿一块无花果饼来。”人就拿来，贴在疮口上；君王就好了。

†[当代]于是，以赛亚吩咐希西家取一些无花果膏来敷在疮口上，他的病就好了。

†[新译]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。

†[Wlb]以赛亚曰、取一无花果饼至、遂取之、置于疮处、王即愈、

†[Xdv]于是，以赛亚告诉王，要拿无花果膏涂在疮口上就会痊愈。

†[Kjv]And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

†[Nkjv]Then Isaiah said, "Take a lump of figs." So they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

†[BBE]Then Isaiah said, Take a cake of figs. So they took it and put it on his wound, and he got better.

†[GNT] Then Isaiah told the king's attendants to put on his boil a paste made of figs, and he would get well.

†[NIV]Then Isaiah said, "Prepare a poultice of figs." They did so and applied it to the boil, and he recovered.

本会注释　　当取一块无花果饼来。对于这么简单的指示，王也许会不满。他所患的是致命的病。从他的“疮”上扩散出来的病毒很可能在极短的时间内要他的性命。希西家的病情已经到了非药石所能奏效的地步。王也许期待着耶和华可能会做些什么非凡的大事来拯救他的性命。但当上帝指示一种简单的治疗手段时，希西家顺从了，因而也就得了痊愈。很多人也许不明白耶和华行事的原因，但听从祂命令的人总算是有智慧的。
　　这里还有更深一层的教训。上帝医治能力的显现并不排除自然的疗法。使用这种方法并不表示缺乏信心。我们有责任在恳求上帝医治的同时尽自己最大的努力通过自然的手段从病痛中解脱出来恢复健康（见《健康勉言》第381,382页）

王下20:8 希西家问以赛亚说：“耶和华必医治我，到第三日，我能上耶和华的殿，有什么兆头呢？”

†[吕]希西家问以赛亚说：“永恒主必将我医好，第三天我就能上永恒主的殿：有什么兆头呢？”

†[思]希则克雅对依撒意亚说：“有什么徵兆，上主要治好我，第叁天我就能上上主的殿？”

†[当代]希西家对以赛亚说：“有什么凭据可以证明我三天之后会得到痊愈，可以到圣殿里去呢？”

†[新译]希西家对以赛亚说：“有什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？”

†[Wlb]希西家谓以赛亚曰、耶和华愈我、越至三日、我登耶和华室、有何征乎、

†[Xdv]希西家问：“有什么征兆证明上主要医治我，而三天后我就能上圣殿去呢？”

†[Kjv]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?

†[Nkjv]And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "What is the sign that the LORD will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of the LORD the third day?"

†[BBE]And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?

†[GNT] King Hezekiah asked, "What is the sign to prove that the Lord will heal me and that three days later I will be able to go to the Temple?"

†[NIV]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?"

本会注释　　兆头。见@王下19:29@注释。希西家希望看到一个即时的凭据，证明耶和华会照着祂所说的成就（见@书7:14@；@士6:36@的注释）。

王下20:9 以赛亚说：“耶和华必成就他所说的。这是他给你的兆头：你要日影向前进十度呢？是要往后退十度呢？” (串)王上13:3赛7:11

†[吕]以赛亚说：“永恒主必成就他所说到的事；他所要给你的兆头是这样：日影必向前进十步呢？或是要往后退十步呢？”

†[思]依撒意亚回答说：“这就是上主给你的徵兆，上主必实践他所说的话：你要日影向前进十度，还是要往后退十度？”

†[当代]以赛亚回答说：“好，上帝要给你一个凭据，证明祂是言出必行的：你喜欢日影前进十度还是退后十度呢？”

†[新译]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？”

†[Wlb]以赛亚曰、耶和华必成所言、有其征焉、尔欲日影进十度乎、抑退十度乎、

†[Xdv]以赛亚说：“上主要给你一个征兆，证明他一定信守诺言。你要日影前进十步，还是倒退十步呢？”

†[Kjv]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?

†[Nkjv]Then Isaiah said, "This is the sign to you from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing which He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees or go backward ten degrees?"

†[BBE]And Isaiah said, This is the sign the Lord will give you, that he will do what he has said; will the shade go forward ten degrees or back?

†[GNT] Isaiah replied, "The Lord will give you a sign to prove that he will keep his promise. Now, would you prefer to have the shadow on the stairway go forward ten steps or go back ten steps?"

†[NIV]Isaiah answered, "This is the Lord 's sign 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?"

王下20:10 希西家回答说：“日影向前进十度容易，我要日影往后退十度。” (串)诗102:11

†[吕]希西家说：“日影向前斜照十步（或译：日晷）比较容易；不，我要日影往后退十步。”

†[思]希则克雅答说：“日影向前进十度太容易，我不要；我要日影倒退十度。”

†[当代]希西家说：“日影前进十度并不难，还是让日影退后十度吧。”

†[新译]希西家说：“日影延伸十级容易；不，我要日影倒后十级。”

†[Wlb]希西家曰、影进十度易、请使其退十度、

†[Xdv]希西家说：“日影前进十步容易，我要它倒退十步！”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And Hezekiah answered, "It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees; no, but let the shadow go backward ten degrees."

†[BBE]And Hezekiah said in answer, It is a simple thing for the shade to go forward; but let it go back ten degrees.

†[GNT] Hezekiah answered, "It's easy to have the shadow go forward ten steps! Have it go back ten steps."

†[NIV]It is a simple matter for the shadow to go forward ten steps," said Hezekiah. "Rather, have it go back ten steps."

本会注释　　在正常的情况下，日晷上的影子是随着太阳的变化而向前移动的，但如果它突然向后移动，这将是一件非凡的事件。因此希西家选择了这个兆头。

王下20:11 先知以赛亚求告耶和华，耶和华就使亚哈斯的日晷向前进的日影，往后退了十度。 (串)赛38:8书10:12,13

†[吕]神言人以赛亚向永恒主呼求，永恒主就使台阶（或译：日晷）上的日影、在亚哈斯台阶上所照下的、往后退了十步。

†[思]先知依撒意亚呼求上主，上主就使射在阿哈次日晷上的日影倒退了十度。

†[当代]以赛亚向上帝呼求，祂就使在亚哈斯日晷仪的日影倒退十度。

†[新译]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。

†[Wlb]先知以赛亚吁耶和华、遂使亚哈斯日晷已进之影退十度、

†[Xdv]以赛亚向上主祷告，上主就使亚哈斯王台阶上的日影倒退十步。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]So Isaiah the prophet cried out to the LORD, and He brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.

†[BBE]Then Isaiah the prophet made prayer to the Lord, and he made the shade go back ten degrees from its position on the steps of Ahaz.

†[GNT] Isaiah prayed to the Lord, and the Lord made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairway set up by King Ahaz.

†[NIV]Then the prophet Isaiah called upon the Lord , and the Lord made the shadow go back the ten steps it had gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.

本会注释　　往后退了十度。冥思苦想上帝如何施行神迹是没有好处的。这个兆头来自上帝的直接干预。
　　亚哈斯的日晷。古代的巴比伦，亚述，埃及和罗马使用过各种日晷。亚哈斯可能通过他与提革拉-毗列色的交往从亚述获得一个日晷。
　　《以赛亚书》中还记载着希西家康复后的祷告和感恩的诗歌（见赛38:9-20）。

王下20:12 那时，巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子比罗达巴拉但听见希西家病而痊愈，就送书信和礼物给他。 (串)本章12-19赛39:1-8

†[吕]那时巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子比罗达巴拉但听见希西家病了，就给希西家送文书，也送了礼物。

†[思]那时，巴比伦王巴拉丹的儿子默洛达客捌拉丹派人来见希则克雅，呈上书信和礼物，因为他听说希则克雅患病又好了。

†[当代]就在那时候巴比伦王巴拉但的儿子比罗达巴拉但因得闻希西家无恙的消息，就派人带了慰问信和礼物来。

†[新译]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。

†[Wlb]时、巴比伦王、巴拉但子比罗达巴拉但、闻希西家遘疾、致书馈礼、

†[Xdv]这时候，巴拉但的儿子巴比伦王米罗达巴拉但听见希西家王病了，特地送来一封问候信和一件礼物。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]At that time Berodach-Baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

†[BBE]At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill.

†[GNT] About that same time the king of Babylonia, Merodach Baladan, the son of Baladan, heard that King Hezekiah had been sick, so he sent him a letter and a present.

†[NIV]At that time Merodach-Baladan son of Baladan king of Babylon sent Hezekiah letters and a gift, because he had heard of Hezekiah's illness.

本会注释　　巴拉但的儿子。亚述的碑刻称他为雅金的儿子，雅金是公元前九世纪的一个王。他的每一个子孙都称自己为“雅金的儿子。”在亚述的碑文中“儿子”可以代表后代，就像说耶户是“暗利的儿子”一样。在米罗达巴拉但的祖先中可能有一位巴拉但，就像有一位雅金一样。
　　比罗达巴拉但。应该像赛39:1那样拼为米罗达巴拉但。根据《托勒密法典》，米罗达-巴拉但就是那个勇敢的马杜克-阿坡-伊迪那。他在公元前721年至709年作巴比伦王。公元前703年他再次统治了巴比伦一小段时间。他一直反抗亚述人对巴比伦的控制，是他们的眼中钉、肉中刺。根据本注释采用的列王纪年，在希西家十四年西拿基立第一次进攻犹大以及稍后他患病的期间，米罗达-巴拉但处在流亡的状态之下，他正在寻找同样与亚述敌对并够与他共同抵抗亚述的盟友。米罗达-巴拉但尽管逊位，但有些人依然称他为“巴比伦王”，承认他是合法的君主只不过是被赶下了宝座而已。显然希西家也是承认他的。
　　送书信。巴比伦的天文学家注意到了这一日晷上所发生的奇迹（见代下32:31）。当米罗达巴拉但听说了这件事发生的原因时，他就向耶路撒冷派出代表团去祝贺希西家，并想进一步了解上帝是如何施行这样一个神迹的（见《先知与君王》344页）。这些特使可能也会顺便祝贺希西家王英勇抵抗亚述。同时，米罗达巴拉但也许会寻求正式与希西家结盟以，此来对付他们共同的敌人。

王下20:13 希西家听从使者的话，就把他宝库的金子、银子、香料、贵重的膏油，和他武库的一切军器，并他所有的财宝，都给他们看。他家中和他全国之内，希西家没有一样不给他们看的。 (串)代下32:31|代下32:27

†[吕]希西家喜欢（传统：听从）他们，就将他所有的藏宝库、银子、金子、香料、珍贵的油、和他的军器厂、以及藏宝库里所有的一切东西、都给他们看；凡在他家中的、其实凡在他全国内的、希西家没有一样不给他们看的。

†[思]希则克雅非常高兴，就叫使者参观自己的宝库、金银、香料、珍膏和武器库，以及他府库内所有的财宝：凡他宫中和全国内所有的，希则克雅没有一样不叫他们不看的。

†[当代]希西家亲自迎接他们，又把自己的宝库、金银、香料、珍贵的膏油，军械库、宫内和境内所有的宝贝，尽都展示给他们看。

†[新译]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。

†[Wlb]希西家听使者之言、以其府库之宝物、金银香品宝膏、与武库之器械、及所藏之宝物、悉示之、凡宫闱暨全国所有、无不示之、

†[Xdv]希西家欢迎使节，并且向他们显露他的财富──金、银、香料、香水，和一切军备；他把全国各地的库藏和他所有的一切都让他们看了。

†[Kjv]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

†[GNT] Hezekiah welcomed the messengers and showed them his wealth - his silver and gold, his spices and perfumes, and all his military equipment. There was nothing in his storerooms or anywhere in his kingdom that he did not show them.

†[NIV]Hezekiah received the messengers and showed them all that was in his storehouses-the silver, the gold, the spices and the fine oil-his armory and everything found among his treasures. There was nothing in his palace or in all his kingdom that Hezekiah did

本会注释　　希西家无疑是因这位“巴比伦王”和关注而飘飘欲仙了。希西家将他一切的财宝和资源都给巴比伦的使者看，这无异于在勾起这些掠夺成性的外邦人的贪心。的确，在此之后不到一百年，就是这些人重返耶路撒冷，将其财宝全部掳掠到巴比伦。

王下20:14 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。”

†[吕]于是神言人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：“他们是从远地、从巴比伦来的。”

†[思]依撒意亚先知遂来见希则克雅，对他说：“这些人说了什么？他们是从什么地方到你这里来的？”希则克雅回答说：“他们是从远方，从巴比伦来的。”

†[当代]以赛亚来见希西家说：“这些人说了些什么话，他们是从哪里来的呢？”希西家回答说：“他们是从远方的巴比伦来的。”

†[新译]后来，以赛亚先知来到希西家王那里，对他说：“这些人说了些什么？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。”

†[Wlb]先知以赛亚诣希西家曰、斯人何言、奚自而来、希西家曰、来自远方、即巴比伦也、

†[Xdv]于是先知以赛亚去见希西家王，问他：“这些人是从哪里来的？他们跟你说些什么话？”希西家回答：“他们是从一个遥远的国家巴比伦来的。”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]Then Isaiah the prophet went to King Hezekiah, and said to him, "What did these men say, and from where did they come to you?" So Hezekiah said, "They came from a far country, from Babylon."

†[BBE]Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.

†[GNT] Then the prophet Isaiah went to King Hezekiah and asked, "Where did these men come from and what did they say to you?" Hezekiah answered, "They came from a very distant country, from Babylonia."

†[NIV]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."

本会注释　　于是先知以赛亚来。希西家犯了一个严重的错误，并威胁到他国家的安全。先知奉命来提醒他注意。
　　从远方。如果希西家与米罗达巴拉但达成了任何形式的正式条约，他这句话是想贬低这种盟约的影响。约书亚曾认为与“极远之地”的基遍人（书9:9-15）结盟没有什么不合适的。希西家可能也认为犹大巴比伦远隔万水千山，他和米罗达巴拉但结成这样的友好关系应该是没有什么问题的。耶和华通过以赛亚要求祂的百姓不要与远近的列强联合，只要信靠上帝（赛8:9-13；30:1-7；31:1-5）。
　　巴比伦。即巴比伦国。圣经也用巴比伦指该国的首都。来自巴比伦南边的迦勒底人米罗达巴拉但这时未能控制首都巴比伦城，因为那里被一个亚述人设立的傀儡政权统治着。他现在还处于流亡状态，总部可能设在以拦，尽管如此他在巴比伦仍然拥有很多的支持者。此时的巴比伦臣属于亚述，被认为是一个卑微弱小无足轻重的国家，远远不能成为对别人的威胁。但它已经成为预言关注的对象（赛13；14:1-23；43:14；46:1,2；47:1-15；弥4:10）。巴比伦很快就会取代亚述成为犹大最危险的敌人，并对它的毁灭起着决定性的影响。

王下20:15 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。”

†[吕]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；我的宝物中没有一样不给他们看的。”

†[思]先知又问说：“他们在你宫中看见了什么？”希则克雅回答说：“凡我宫中所有的，他们都看了；凡我府库内所有的，没有一样我不叫他们不看的。”

†[当代]“他们看过你宫里的什么吗？”希西家回答说：“他们什么都看见了。我把所有的珍藏都展示给他们看了。”

†[新译]以赛亚说：“他们在你宫中看到了什么呢？”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。”

†[Wlb]曰、彼于尔室、所见何物、希西家曰、凡我室中所有、彼悉观之、我之宝藏、无不示之、

†[Xdv]以赛亚问：“他们在王宫里看见了什么？”希西家回答：“他们什么都看见了；我把库藏的每一样东西都给他们看了。”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]And he said, "What have they seen in your house?" So Hezekiah answered, "They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them."

†[BBE]And he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah said in answer, They saw everything in my house: there is nothing among my stores which I did not let them see.

†[GNT] "What did they see in the palace?" "They saw everything. There is nothing in the storerooms that I didn't show them."

†[NIV]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."

本会注释　　他们……看见了什么？他们所看到的无非是希西家选择给他们看的。这是一个为上帝作见证的多么好的机会啊！上帝治好了希西家要死的病，日晷影子向后退的惊人神迹引起了广泛的注意。希西家本可为上帝神奇的恩典和大能作美好的见证，并打发米罗达巴拉但的使者回去的时候将上帝如何为祂地上的儿女所行大事的知识一同带回他们的祖国。但他在这件事上却彻底的失败了。临到希西家的问题今天也临到我们。耶和华问我们，别人在我们的家中和我们的生活中都看到了什么？
　　我财宝中。希西家太关注他地上的财宝。如果他正确看待属天的财富并将其中最有价值的珍宝给巴比伦的使者看，结果就会好的多。

王下20:16 以赛亚对希西家说：“你要听耶和华的话，

†[吕]以赛亚对希西家说：“你要听永恒主的话。

王下20:17 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。 (串)王下25:13代下36:18耶20:5;27:22

†[吕]看吧，日子必到，凡你家中所有的、和你列祖所积聚到今日的、都必被带到巴比伦去，不留下一样；这是永恒主说的。

†[思]日子要到，凡你宫中所有的，及你祖先直到今日所积蓄的，都要被带到巴比伦去，什么也不会留下：上主说。

†[当代]将来这宫内的一切宝物，自你祖先以来，一直积存到现今的，都要一件不留地被带到巴比伦去。

†[新译]‘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。

†[Wlb]其日将至、尔室中所有者、与尔列祖至今所积者、必迁至巴比伦、不遗一物、耶和华言之矣、

†[Xdv]‘时候快到了，你王宫里的每一样东西，你祖宗留下来的每一样东西，都要给搬到巴比伦去，一件也不留下。

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]"Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have accumulated until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left,' says the LORD.

†[BBE]Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.

†[GNT] a time is coming when everything in your palace, everything that your ancestors have stored up to this day, will be carried off to Babylonia. Nothing will be left.

†[NIV]The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your fathers have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the Lord .

本会注释　　这个预言在大约一个世纪之后应验了。尼布甲尼撒的军队将犹大的财宝掳到了巴比伦（王下第24,25章）。

王下20:18 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。” (串)王下24:15代下36:20|但1:3

†[吕]并且从你本身出的、就是你所生的、子孙中、也必有人被拿去，在巴比伦王宫里当太监。”

†[思]此外，由你所出，即你所生的子孙中也有一些要被掳去，在巴比伦王宫内充当太监。

†[当代]你后代之中，也会有人被掳到巴比伦去，在宫里作太监。”

†[新译]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。”

†[Wlb]尔所生诸子中、必有被虏、在巴比伦王宫为宦竖、

†[Xdv]连你的后代也要被掳去，在巴比伦王宫里当太监，服侍他们的王。’”

†[Kjv]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.

†[Nkjv]"And they shall take away some of your sons who will descend from you, whom you will beget; and they shall be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."'

†[BBE]And your sons, the offspring of your body, they will take away to be unsexed servants in the house of the king of Babylon.

†[GNT] Some of your own direct descendants will be taken away and made eunuchs to serve in the palace of the king of Babylonia."

†[NIV]And some of your descendants, your own flesh and blood, that will be born to you, will be taken away, and they will become eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon."

本会注释　　“儿子”在希伯来文中经常只是代表后裔。希西家的儿子玛拿西被亚述人带到了巴比伦（代下33:11）。尼布甲尼撒的时候许多犹大王族被带到巴比伦为囚（王下24:12；25:6,7）。但以理和他的三个朋友就是其中的一个例子（见@但1:3-7@注释）。

王下20:19 希西家对以赛亚说：“你所说耶和华的话甚好！若在我的年日中有太平和稳固的景况，岂不是好吗？” (串)撒上3:18

†[吕]希西家对以赛亚说：“你所说永恒主的话很好阿。”他心里说：“这岂不是说至少在我活着的日子有太平稳固的景况么？”

†[思]希则克雅对依撒意亚说：“你所说的上主的话是合理的！”继而说：“惟愿我有生之日有平安，有安全！”

†[当代]希西家对以赛亚说：“主所说的话都是好的。”其实他心里在想，只要在他有生之年得享太平便够了。

†[新译]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？”

†[Wlb]希西家谓以赛亚曰、尔所传耶和华之言善矣、又曰、若我尚存之日、得其绥安稳固、岂非善乎、

†[Xdv]希西家以为这信息是指在他有生之日，他得以享受和平安全，所以他回答：“你所宣布从上主来的信息很好。”

†[Kjv]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?

†[Nkjv]So Hezekiah said to Isaiah, "The word of the LORD which you have spoken is good!" For he said, "Will there not be peace and truth at least in my days?"

†[BBE]Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said, ... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?

†[GNT] King Hezekiah understood this to mean that there would be peace and security during his lifetime, so he replied, "The message you have given me from the Lord is good."

†[NIV]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?"

本会注释　　耶和华的话甚好。希西家承认以赛亚的话是耶和华的话，并且承认这些话甚好。他知道自己该当此咎。
　　太平和稳固。“稳固”的希伯来语来自词根'aman（“阿们”），意思是“确定”，“支持”。希西家很高兴那刑罚不在他统治期间降下，在他余剩的日子里犹大国还可保持和平与繁荣。这是一种很自然也很自私的反应。希西家应当牵挂由于他卤莽的行动而将带给他子孙的灾难。

王下20:20 希西家其余的事和他的勇力，他怎样挖池、挖沟、引水入城，都写在犹大列王记上。 (串)代下32:32|王下18:17尼2:14;3:16|代下32:30

†[吕]希西家其余的事，他一切勇力的事迹、和他怎样造池造沟，引水入城，不是都写在犹大诸王记上么？

†[思]希则克雅其馀的事迹，他的英勇和他怎样凿池沟，引水入城的事，都记载在犹大列王实录上。

†[当代]希西家其余的功业，他怎样建造水池和沟道，把水引入城中，这一切都记在犹大诸王纪上。

†[新译]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？

†[Wlb]希西家其余事迹、与其勇力、以及凿池掘沟、引水入邑、俱载于犹大列王纪、

†[Xdv]希西家王其它的事迹，他英勇的行为和他如何建造贮水池，挖掘沟渠，引水入城的事迹，一一记载在犹大列王史上。

†[Kjv]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?

†[Nkjv]Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah-- all his might, and how he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city--are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

†[BBE]Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his power, and how he made the pool and the stream, to take water into the town, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

†[GNT] Everything else that King Hezekiah did, his brave deeds, and an account of how he built a reservoir and dug a tunnel to bring water into the city, are all recorded in [The History of the Kings of Judah.]

†[NIV]As for the other events of Hezekiah's reign, all his achievements and how he made the pool and the tunnel by which he brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?

本会注释　　池。这个水池据信就是大卫城古城西南西罗亚池的内池以及它的水渠──西罗亚渠。这里的水来自汲沦谷的基训。这条水渠以西罗亚或西罗阿命名，意思是“奉差遣”（约9:7）。水渠全长533米。
　　1880年在这条水渠的堤岸上发现了一块有趣的碑刻，上面的文字用希伯来文写成，人们认为它属于希西家的时代。这上面说当时的工人们是如何从水渠的两头开始挖掘并最终在中间汇合的。希西家的工程是一项杰出的措施，可以为耶路撒冷城在被敌人围困期间保障其水源的供应。基色和米吉多也有类似的水渠。关于西罗亚碑文的翻译，见本卷注释第87页。

王下20:21 希西家与他列祖同睡。他儿子玛拿西接续他作王。 (串)代下32:33

†[吕]希西家跟他列祖一同长眠；他儿子玛拿西接替他作王。

†[思]希则克雅与他的列祖同眠，他的儿子默纳舍继位为王。

†[当代]他死后，他的儿子玛拿西接续他作王。

†[新译]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。

†[Wlb]希西家与列祖偕眠、子玛拿西嗣位、

†[Xdv]希西家死了；他的儿子玛拿西继承他作王。

†[Kjv]And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

†[Nkjv]So Hezekiah rested with his fathers. Then Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

†[BBE]And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.

†[GNT] Hezekiah died, and his son Manasseh succeeded him as king.

†[NIV]Hezekiah rested with his fathers. And Manasseh his son succeeded him as king.

本会注释　　希西家与他列祖同睡。希西家的埋葬礼非常荣耀。他的坟墓在“大卫子孙的高陵上，”“犹大人和耶路撒冷的居民”都尊敬他（代下32:33）。
