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。
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?
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。
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?
希西家回答说,日影向前进十度容易,我要日影往后退十度。
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.
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。
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.
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。
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.
以赛亚对希西家说,你要听耶和华的话,
And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah, Hear the word of the LORD.
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。
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.
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。
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?
希西家其馀的事和他的勇力,他怎样挖池,挖沟,引水入城,都写在犹大列王记上。
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?
希西家与他列祖同睡。他儿子玛拿西接续他作王。
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
