Isaiah 37
1 And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
Et factum est, cum audisset rex Ezechias, scidit vestimenta sua, et obvolutus est sacco, et intravit in domum Domini.
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.
Et misit Eliacim, qui erat super domum, et Sobnam scribam, et seniores de sacerdotibus opertos saccis ad Isaiam filium Amos prophetam,
3 And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
et dixerunt ad eum: Hæc dicit Ezechias: Dies tribulationis, et correptionis, et blasphemiæ dies hæc: quia venerunt filii usque ad partum, et virtus non est pariendi.
4 It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.
Si quo modo audiat Dominus Deus tuus verba Rabsacis, quem misit rex Assyriorum dominus suus ad blasphemandum Deum viventem, et exprobrandum sermonibus, quos audivit Dominus Deus tuus: leva ergo orationem pro reliquiis, quæ repertæ sunt.
5 And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Et venerunt servi regis Ezechiæ ad Isaiam.
6 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
et dixit ad eos Isaias: Hæc dicetis domino vestro: Hæc dicit Dominus: Ne timeas a facie verborum, quæ audisti, quibus blasphemaverunt pueri regis Assyriorum me.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Ecce ego dabo ei spiritum, et audiet nuncium, et revertetur ad terram suam, et corruere eum faciam gladio in terra sua.
8 And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Reversus est autem Rabsaces, et invenit regem Assyriorum præliantem adversus Lobnam. Audierat enim quia profectus esset de Lachis,
9 And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
et audivit de Tharaca rege Æthiopiæ, dicentes: Egressus est ut pugnet contra te. Quod cum audisset, misit nuncios ad Ezechiam, dicens:
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Hæc dicetis Ezechiæ regi Iudæ, loquentes: Non te decipiat Deus tuus, in quo tu confidis, dicens: Non dabitur Ierusalem in manu regis Assyriorum.
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Ecce tu audisti omnia, quæ fecerunt reges Assyriorum omnibus terris, quas subverterunt, et tu poteris liberari?
12 Have the gods of the nations which my fathers have destroyed delivered them, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?
Numquid eruerunt eos dii Gentium, quos subverterunt patres mei Gozam, et Haram, et Reseph, et filios Eden, qui erant in Thalassar?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
Ubi est rex Emath, et rex Arphad, et rex urbis Sepharvaim, Ana, et Ava?
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
Et tulit Ezechias libros de manu nunciorum, et legit eos, et ascendit in domum Domini, et expandit eos Ezechias coram Domino.
15 And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,
Et oravit Ezechias ad Dominum, dicens:
16 Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
Domine exercituum Deus Israel, qui sedes super cherubim: tu es Deus solus omnium regnorum terræ, tu fecisti cælum et terram.
17 Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.
Inclina Domine aurem tuam, et audi: aperi Domine oculos tuos, et vide, et audi omnia verba Sennacherib, quæ misit ad blasphemandum Deum viventem.
18 Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands, and their countries,
Vere enim Domine desertas fecerunt reges Assyriorum terras, et regiones earum.
19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
Et dederunt deos earum igni: non enim erant dii, sed opera manuum hominum, lignum et lapis: et comminuerunt eos.
20 And now, Jehovah our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, thou only.
Et nunc Domine Deus noster salva nos de manu eius: et cognoscant omnia regna terræ, quia tu es Dominus solus.
21 And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Et misit Isaias filius Amos ad Ezechiam, dicens: Hæc dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Pro quibus rogasti me de Sennacherib rege Assyriorum:
22 this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.
hoc est verbum, quod locutus est Dominus super eum: Despexit te, et subsannavit te virgo filia Sion: post te caput movit filia Ierusalem.
23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy One of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.
Cui exprobrasti, et quem blasphemasti, et super quem exaltasti vocem, et levasti altitudinem oculorum tuorum? Ad Sanctum Israel.
24 By thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the recesses of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; and I will enter into its furthest height, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.
In manu servorum tuorum exprobrasti Domino: et dixisti: In multitudine quadrigarum mearum ego ascendi altitudinem montium, iuga Libani: et succidam excelsa cedrorum eius, et electas abietes illius, et introibo altitudinem summitatis eius, saltum Carmeli eius.
25 I have digged and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.
Ego fodi, et bibi aquam, et exiccavi vestigio pedis mei omnes rivos aggerum.
26 Hast thou not heard that long ago I did it, and that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
Numquid non audisti, quæ olim fecerim ei? ex diebus antiquis ego plasmavi illud: et nunc adduxi: et factum est in eradicationem collium compugnantium, et civitatum munitarum.
27 And their inhabitants were powerless, they were dismayed and put to shame; they were [as] the grass of the field and the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.
Habitatores earum breviata manu contremuerunt, et confusi sunt: facti sunt sicut fœnum agri, et gramen pascuæ, et herba tectorum, quæ exaruit antequam maturesceret.
28 But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
Habitationem tuam, et egressum tuum, et introitum tuum cognovi, et insaniam tuam contra me.
29 Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.
Cum fureres adversum me, superbia tua ascendit in aures meas: ponam ergo circulum in naribus tuis, et frenum in labiis tuis, et reducam te in viam, per quem venisti.
30 And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: there shall be eaten this year such as groweth of itself; and in the second year that which springeth of the same; but in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.
Tibi autem hoc erit signum: Comede hoc anno quæ sponte nascuntur, et in anno secundo pomis vescere: in anno autem tertio seminate, et metite, et plantate vineas, et comedite fructum earum.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;
Et mittet id, quod salvatum fuerit de domo Iuda, et quod reliquum est, radicem deorsum, et faciet fructum sursum:
32 for out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that escape: the zeal of Jehovah of hosts shall do this.
quia de Ierusalem exibunt reliquiæ, et salvatio de monte Sion: zelus Domini exercituum faciet istud.
33 Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
Propterea hæc dicit Dominus de rege Assyriorum: Non intrabit civitatem hanc, et non iaciet ibi sagittam, et non occupabit eam clypeus, et non mittet in circuitu eius aggerem.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.
In via, qua venit, per eam revertetur, et civitatem hanc non ingredietur, dicit Dominus:
35 And I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
et protegam civitatem istam, ut salvem eam propter me, et propter David servum meum.
36 And an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.
Egressus est autem Angelus Domini, et percussit in castris Assyriorum centum octoginta quinque millia. Et surrexerunt mane, et ecce omnes, cadavera mortuorum.
37 And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.
Et egressus est, et abiit, et reversus est Sennacherib rex Assyriorum, et habitavit in Ninive.
38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
Et factum est, cum adoraret in templo Nesroch deum suum, Adramelech, et Sarasar filii eius percusserunt eum gladio: fugeruntque in Terram Ararat, et regnavit Asarhaddon filius eius pro eo.
