2 Kings 18
1 Now in the third yeere of Hoshea, sonne of Elah King of Israel, Hezekiah the sonne of Ahaz king of Iudah began to reigne.
anno tertio Osee filii Hela regis Israhel regnavit Ezechias filius Ahaz regis Iuda
2 He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twenty yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Abi the daughter of Zachariah,
viginti quinque annorum erat cum regnare coepisset et viginti et novem annis regnavit in Hierusalem nomen matris eius Abi filia Zacchariae
3 And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
fecitque quod erat bonum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerat David pater suus
4 He tooke away the hie places, and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for vnto those dayes the children of Israel did burne incense to it, and hee called it Nehushtan.
ipse dissipavit excelsa et contrivit statuas et succidit lucos confregitque serpentem aeneum quem fecerat Moses siquidem usque ad illud tempus filii Israhel adolebant ei incensum vocavitque eum Naasthan
5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that after him was none like him among all the Kings of Iudah, neither were there any such before him.
in Domino Deo Israhel speravit itaque post eum non fuit similis ei de cunctis regibus Iuda sed neque in his qui ante eum fuerunt
6 For he claue to the Lord, and departed not from him, but kept his commandements, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
et adhesit Domino et non recessit a vestigiis eius fecitque mandata eius quae praeceperat Dominus Mosi
7 So the Lord was with him, and he prospered in all thinges, which he tooke in hande: also he rebelled against the King of Asshur, and serued him not.
unde et erat Dominus cum eo et in cunctis ad quae procedebat sapienter se agebat rebellavit quoque contra regem Assyriorum et non servivit ei
8 He smote the Philistims vnto Azzah, and the coastes thereof, from the watch towre vnto the defensed citie.
ipse percussit Philistheos usque Gazam et omnes terminos eorum a turre custodum usque ad civitatem muratam
9 And in the fourth yere of King Hezekiah, (which was the seuenth yeere of Hoshea sonne of Elah King of Israel) Shalmaneser King of Asshur came vp against Samaria, and besieged it.
anno quarto regis Ezechiae qui erat annus septimus Osee filii Hela regis Israhel ascendit Salmanassar rex Assyriorum Samariam et obpugnavit eam
10 And after three yeeres they tooke it, euen in the sixt yeere of Hezekiah: that is, the ninth yeere of Hoshea King of Israel was Samaria taken.
et cepit nam post annos tres anno sexto Ezechiae id est nono anno Osee regis Israhel capta est Samaria
11 Then the King of Asshur did carry away Israel vnto Asshur, and put them in Halah and in Habor, by the riuer of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
et transtulit rex Assyriorum Israhel in Assyrios conlocavitque eos in Ala et in Habor fluviis Gozan in civitatibus Medorum
12 Because they woulde not obey the voyce of the Lord their God, but transgressed his couenant: that is, all that Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded, and would neyther obey nor doe them.
quia non audierunt vocem Domini Dei sui sed praetergressi sunt pactum eius omnia quae praeceperat Moses servus Domini non audierunt neque fecerunt
13 Moreouer, in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against all the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.
anno quartodecimo regis Ezechiae ascendit Sennacherib rex Assyriorum ad universas civitates Iuda munitas et cepit eas
14 Then Hezekiah King of Iudah sent vnto the King of Asshur to Lachish, saying, I haue offended: depart from me, and what thou layest vpon me, I wil beare it. And the King of Asshur appoynted vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah three hudreth talents of siluer, and thirty talets of golde.
tunc misit Ezechias rex Iuda nuntios ad regem Assyriorum Lachis dicens peccavi recede a me et omne quod inposueris mihi feram indixit itaque rex Assyriorum Ezechiae regi Iudae trecenta talenta argenti et triginta talenta auri
15 Therefore Hezekiah gaue all the siluer that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house.
deditque Ezechias omne argentum quod reppertum fuerat in domo Domini et in thesauris regis
16 At the same season did Hezekiah pul off the plates of the doores of the Temple of the Lord, and the pillars (which the sayd Hezekiah King of Iudah had couered ouer) and gaue them to the King of Asshur.
in tempore illo confregit Ezechias valvas templi Domini et lamminas auri quas ipse adfixerat et dedit eas regi Assyriorum
17 And the King of Asshur sent Tartan, and Rab-saris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great hoste against Ierusalem. And they went vp, and came to Ierusalem, and when they were come vp, they stood by the conduite of the vpper poole, which is by the path of the fullers fielde,
misit autem rex Assyriorum Tharthan et Rabsaris et Rabsacen de Lachis ad regem Ezechiam cum manu valida Hierusalem qui cum ascendissent venerunt in Hierusalem et steterunt iuxta aquaeductum piscinae superioris quae est in via agri Fullonis
18 And called to the King. Then came out to them Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.
vocaveruntque regem egressus est autem ad eos Eliachim filius Helciae praepositus domus et Sobna scriba et Ioahe filius Asaph a commentariis
19 And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell ye Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus saith the great King, euen the great King of Asshur, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
dixitque ad eos Rabsaces loquimini Ezechiae haec dicit rex magnus rex Assyriorum quae est ista fiducia qua niteris
20 Thou thinkest, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre. On whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
forsitan inisti consilium ut praepares te ad proelium in quo confidis ut audeas rebellare
21 Lo, thou trustest now in this broken staffe of reede, to wit, on Egypt, on which if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt vnto all that trust on him.
an speras in baculo harundineo atque confracto Aegypto super quem si incubuerit homo comminutus ingreditur manum eius et perforabit eam sic est Pharao rex Aegypti omnibus qui confidunt in se
22 But if ye say vnto me, We trust in the Lord our God, is not that he whose hie places, and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath sayd to Iudah and Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Ierusalem?
quod si dixeritis mihi in Domino Deo nostro habemus fiduciam nonne iste est cuius abstulit Ezechias excelsa et altaria et praecepit Iudae et Hierusalem ante altare hoc adorabitis in Hierusalem
23 Now therefore giue hostages to my lord the King of Asshur, and I will giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set riders vpon them.
nunc igitur transite ad dominum meum regem Assyriorum et dabo vobis duo milia equorum et videte an habere valeatis ascensores eorum
24 For how canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my masters seruants, and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and horsemen?
et quomodo potestis resistere ante unum satrapam de servis domini mei minimis an fiduciam habes in Aegypto propter currus et equites
25 Am I now come vp without the Lord to this place, to destroy it? the Lord sayd to me, Goe vp against this land, and destroy it.
numquid sine Domini voluntate ascendi ad locum istum ut demolirer eum Dominus dixit mihi ascende ad terram hanc et demolire eam
26 Then Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Ioah said vnto Rabshakeh, Speake I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, for we vnderstand it, and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
dixerunt autem Eliachim filius Helciae et Sobna et Ioahe Rabsaci precamur ut loquaris nobis servis tuis syriace siquidem intellegimus hanc linguam et non loquaris nobis iudaice audiente populo qui est super murum
27 But Rabshakeh saide vnto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speake these words, and not to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?
responditque eis Rabsaces numquid ad dominum tuum et ad te misit me dominus meus ut loquerer sermones hos et non ad viros qui sedent super murum ut comedant stercora sua et bibant urinam suam vobiscum
28 So Rabshakeh stoode and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and spake, saying, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the king of Asshur.
stetit itaque Rabsaces et clamavit voce magna iudaice et ait audite verba regis magni regis Assyriorum
29 Thus sayth the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you out of mine hand.
haec dicit rex non vos seducat Ezechias non enim poterit eruere vos de manu mea
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs, and this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the king of Asshur.
neque fiduciam vobis tribuat super Domino dicens eruens liberabit nos Dominus et non tradetur civitas haec in manu regis Assyriorum
31 Hearken not vnto Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne figge tree, and drinke euery man of the water of his owne well,
nolite audire Ezechiam haec enim dicit rex Assyriorum facite mecum quod vobis est utile et egredimini ad me et comedet unusquisque de vinea sua et de ficu sua et bibetis aquas de cisternis vestris
32 Till I come, and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes, a lande of oliues oyle, and hony, that ye may liue and not die: and obey not Hezekiah, for he deceiueth you, saying, The Lord will deliuer vs.
donec veniam et transferam vos in terram quae similis terrae vestrae est in terram fructiferam et fertilem vini terram panis et vinearum terram olivarum et olei ac mellis et vivetis et non moriemini nolite audire Ezechiam qui vos decipit dicens Dominus liberabit nos
33 Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his lande out of the hand of the King of Asshur?
numquid liberaverunt dii gentium terram suam de manu regis Assyriorum
34 Where is the god of Hamah, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? how haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?
ubi est deus Emath et Arfad ubi est deus Sepharvaim Ana et Ava numquid liberaverunt Samariam de manu mea
35 Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that haue deliuered their lande out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?
quinam illi sunt in universis diis terrarum qui eruerunt regionem suam de manu mea ut possit eruere Dominus Hierusalem de manu mea
36 But the people helde their peace, and answered not him a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere ye him not.
tacuit itaque populus et non respondit ei quicquam siquidem praeceptum regis acceperant ut non responderent ei
37 Then Eliakim, the sonne of Hilkiah which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
venitque Eliachim filius Helciae praepositus domus et Sobna scriba et Ioahe filius Asaph a commentariis ad Ezechiam scissis vestibus et nuntiaverunt ei verba Rabsacis
