Isaiah 37
1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Yhwh.
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, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Et misit Eliachim, qui erat super domum, et Sobnam scribam, et seniores de sacerdotibus opertos saccis ad Isaiam filium Amos prophetam,
3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
et dixerunt ad eum: Haec dicit Ezechias: Dies tribulationis, et correptionis, et blasphemiae dies haec: quia venerunt filii usque ad partum, et virtus non est pariendi.
4 It may be Yhwh thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which Yhwh thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy 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, quae repertae sunt.
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Et venerunt servi regis Ezechiae ad Isaiam.
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith Yhwh, 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: Haec dicetis domino vestro: Haec dicit Dominus: Ne timeas a facie verborum, quae audisti, quibus blasphemaverunt pueri regis Assyriorum me.
7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and 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 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Reversus est autem Rabsaces, et invenit regem Assyriorum praeliantem adversus Lobnam. Audierat enim quia profectus esset de Lachis,
9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
et audivit de Tharaca rege Aethiopiae, 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, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Haec dicetis Ezechiae regi Iuda, 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 lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Ecce tu audisti omnia, quae fecerunt reges Assyriorum omnibus terris, quas subverterunt, et tu poteris liberari?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?
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 Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
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 unto the house of Yhwh, and spread it before Yhwh.
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 unto Yhwh, saying,
Et oravit Ezechias ad Dominum, dicens:
16 O Yhwh of Armies, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
Domine exercituum Deus Israel, qui sedes super cherubim: tu es Deus solus omnium regnorum terrae, tu fecisti caelum et terram.
17 Incline thine ear, O Yhwh, and hear; open thine eyes, O Yhwh, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
Inclina Domine aurem tuam, et audi: aperi Domine oculos tuos, et vide, et audi omnia verba Sennacherib, quae misit ad blasphemandum Deum viventem.
18 Of a truth, Yhwh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, 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: therefore they have destroyed them.
Et dederunt deos earum igni: non enim erant dii, sed opera manuum hominum, lignum et lapis: et comminuerunt eos.
20 Now therefore, O Yhwh our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Yhwh, even thou only.
Et nunc Domine Deus noster salva nos de manu eius: et cognoscant omnia regna terrae, quia tu es Dominus solus.
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
Et misit Isaias filius Amos ad Ezechiam, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israel: Pro quibus rogasti me de Sennacherib rege Assyriorum:
22 This is the word which Yhwh hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken 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 thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Cui exprobrasti, et quem blasphemasti, et super quem exaltasti vocem, et levasti altitudinem oculorum tuorum? Ad Sanctum Israel.
24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
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 rivers of the besieged places.
Ego fodi, et bibi aquam, et exiccavi vestigio pedis mei omnes rivos aggerum.
26 Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.
Numquid non audisti, quae olim fecerim ei? ex diebus antiquis ego plasmavi illud: et nunc adduxi: et factum est in eradicationem collium compugnantium, et civitatum munitarum.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blasted before it be grown up.
Habitatores earum breviata manu contremuerunt, et confusi sunt: facti sunt sicut foenum agri, et gramen pascuae, et herba tectorum, quae exaruit antequam maturesceret.
28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
Habitationem tuam, et egressum tuum, et introitum tuum cognovi, et insaniam tuam contra me.
29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee 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 a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
Tibi autem hoc erit signum: Comede hoc anno quae 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 they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of Yhwh of Armies shall do this.
quia de Ierusalem exibunt reliquiae, et salvatio de monte Sion: zelus Domini exercituum faciet istud.
33 Therefore thus saith Yhwh concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
Propterea haec 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 Yhwh.
In via, qua venit, per eam revertetur, et civitatem hanc non ingredietur, dicit Dominus:
35 For 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 Then the angel of Yhwh went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Egressus est autem Angelus Domini, et percussit in castris Assyriorum centum octoginta quinque millia. Et surrexerunt mane, et ecce omnes, cadavera mortuorum.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt 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 Armenia: and Esar–haddon 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.
