¹ 耶和华的话又临到我说：

² 人子啊，要为推罗作起哀歌，

³ 说：你居住海口，是众民的商埠；你的交易通到许多的海岛。主耶和华如此说：推罗啊，你曾说：我是全然美丽的。

⁴ 你的境界在海中，造你的使你全然美丽。

⁵ 他们用示尼珥的松树做你的一切板，用利巴嫩的香柏树做桅杆，

⁶ 用巴珊的橡树做你的桨，用象牙镶嵌基提海岛的黄杨木为坐板（或译：舱板）。

⁷ 你的篷帆是用埃及绣花细麻布做的，可以做你的大旗；你的凉棚是用以利沙岛的蓝色、紫色布做的。

⁸ 西顿和亚发的居民作你荡桨的。推罗啊，你中间的智慧人作掌舵的。

⁹ 迦巴勒的老者和聪明人都在你中间作补缝的；一切泛海的船只和水手都在你中间经营交易的事。

¹⁰ 波斯人、路德人、弗人在你军营中作战士；他们在你中间悬挂盾牌和头盔，彰显你的尊荣。

¹¹ 亚发人和你的军队都在你四围的墙上，你的望楼也有勇士；他们悬挂盾牌，成全你的美丽。

¹² 他施人因你多有各类的财物，就作你的客商，拿银、铁、锡、铅兑换你的货物。

¹³ 雅完人、土巴人、米设人都与你交易；他们用人口和铜器兑换你的货物。

¹⁴ 陀迦玛族用马和战马并骡子兑换你的货物。

¹⁵ 底但人与你交易，许多海岛作你的码头；他们拿象牙、乌木与你兑换（或译：进贡）。

¹⁶ 亚兰人因你的工作很多，就作你的客商；他们用绿宝石、紫色布绣货、细麻布、珊瑚、红宝石兑换你的货物。

¹⁷ 犹大和以色列地的人都与你交易；他们用米匿的麦子、饼、蜜、油、乳香兑换你的货物。

¹⁸ 大马色人因你的工作很多，又因你多有各类的财物，就拿黑本酒和白羊毛与你交易。

¹⁹ 威但人和雅完人拿纺成的线、亮铁、桂皮、菖蒲兑换你的货物。

²⁰ 底但人用高贵的毯子、鞍、屉与你交易。

²¹ 亚拉伯人和基达的一切首领都作你的客商，用羊羔、公绵羊、公山羊与你交易。

²² 示巴和拉玛的商人与你交易，他们用各类上好的香料、各类的宝石，和黄金兑换你的货物。

²³ 哈兰人、干尼人、伊甸人、示巴的商人，和亚述人、基抹人与你交易。

²⁴ 这些商人以美好的货物包在绣花蓝色包袱内，又有华丽的衣服装在香柏木的箱子里，用绳捆着与你交易。

²⁵ 他施的船只接连成帮为你运货，你便在海中丰富极其荣华。

²⁶ 荡桨的已经把你荡到大水之处，东风在海中将你打破。

²⁷ 你的资财、物件、货物、水手、掌舵的、补缝的、经营交易的，并你中间的战士和人民，在你破坏的日子必都沉在海中。

²⁸ 你掌舵的呼号之声一发，郊野都必震动。

²⁹ 凡荡桨的和水手，并一切泛海掌舵的，都必下船登岸。

³⁰ 他们必为你放声痛哭，把尘土撒在头上，在灰中打滚；

³¹ 又为你使头上光秃，用麻布束腰，号啕痛哭，苦苦悲哀。

³² 他们哀号的时候，为你作起哀歌哀哭，说：有何城如推罗？有何城如他在海中成为寂寞的呢？

³³ 你由海上运出货物，就使许多国民充足；你以许多资财、货物使地上的君王丰富。

³⁴ 你在深水中被海浪打破的时候，你的货物和你中间的一切人民，就都沉下去了。

³⁵ 海岛的居民为你惊奇；他们的君王都甚恐慌，面带愁容。

³⁶ 各国民中的客商都向你发嘶声；你令人惊恐，不再存留於世，直到永远。

²² 因为王有他施船只与希兰的船只一同航海，三年一次，装载金银、象牙、猿猴、孔雀回来。

¹ Now it happened in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

² He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.

³ He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.

⁴ He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for to those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.

⁵ He trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among them] that were before him.

⁶ For he joined with Yahweh; he didn't depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses.

⁷ Yahweh was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn't serve him.

⁸ He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.

⁹ It happened in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

¹⁰ At the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

¹¹ The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,

¹² because they didn't obey the voice of Yahweh their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.

¹³ Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.

¹⁴ Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, "I have offended; return from me. That which you put on me, I will bear." The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

¹⁵ Hezekiah gave [him] all the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king's house.

¹⁶ At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of Yahweh, and [from] the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

¹⁷ The king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.

¹⁸ When they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

¹⁹ Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What confidence is this in which you trust?

²⁰ You say (but they are but vain words), 'There is counsel and strength for war.' Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?

²¹ Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.

²² But if you tell me, 'We trust in Yahweh our God;' isn't that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?'

²³ Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.

²⁴ How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

²⁵ Have I now come up without Yahweh against this place to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, 'Go up against this land, and destroy it.'"'"

²⁶ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it. Don't speak with us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."

²⁷ But Rabshakeh said to them, "Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn't he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?"

²⁸ Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.

²⁹ Thus says the king, 'Don't let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.

³⁰ Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, "Yahweh will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."

³¹ Don't listen to Hezekiah.' For thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern;

³² until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Don't listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, "Yahweh will deliver us."

³³ Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

³⁴ Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

³⁵ Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'"

³⁶ But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, "Don't answer him."

³⁷ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
