2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things and this truth, come hath Sennacherib king of Asshur, yea, he cometh in to Judah, and encampeth against the cities of the bulwarks, and saith to rend them unto himself.
Post quae et huiuscemodi veritatem, venit Sennacherib rex Assyriorum, et ingressus Iuda, obsedit civitates munitas, volens eas capere.
2 And Hezekiah seeth that Sennacherib hath come, and his face [is] to the battle against Jerusalem,
Quod cum vidisset Ezechias, venisse scilicet Sennacherib, et totum belli impetum verti contra Ierusalem,
3 and he taketh counsel with his heads and his mighty ones, to stop the waters of the fountains that [are] at the outside of the city — and they help him,
inito cum principibus consilio, virisque fortissimis ut obturarent capita fontium, qui erant extra urbem: et hoc omnium decernente sententia,
4 and much people are gathered, and they stop all the fountains and the brook that is rushing into the midst of the land, saying, 'Why do the kings of Asshur come, and have found much water?'
congregavit plurimam multitudinem, et obturaverunt cunctos fontes, et rivum, qui fluebat in medio terrae, dicentes: Ne veniant reges Assyriorum, et inveniant aquarum abundantiam.
5 And he strengtheneth himself, and buildeth the whole of the wall that is broken, and causeth [it] to ascend unto the towers, and at the outside of the wall another, and strengtheneth Millo, [in] the city of David, and maketh darts in abundance, and shields.
Aedificavit quoque, agens industrie, omnem murum, qui fuerat dissipatus, et extruxit turres desuper, et forinsecus alterum murum: instauravitque Mello in Civitate David, et fecit universi generis armaturam et clypeos:
6 And he putteth heads of war over the people, and gathereth them unto him, unto the broad place of a gate of the city, and speaketh unto their heart, saying,
constituitque principes bellatorum in exercitu: et convocavit universos in platea portae civitatis, ac locutus est ad cor eorum dicens:
7 'Be strong and courageous, be not afraid, nor be cast down from the face of the king of Asshur, and from the face of all the multitude that [is] with him, for with us [are] more than with him.
Viriliter agite, et confortamini: nolite timere, nec paveatis regem Assyriorum, et universam multitudinem, quae est cum eo: multo enim plures nobiscum sunt, quam cum illo.
8 With him [is] an arm of flesh, and with us [is] Jehovah our God, to help us, and to fight our battles;' and the people are supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
Cum illo enim est brachium carneum: nobiscum Dominus Deus noster, qui auxiliator est noster, pugnatque pro nobis. Confortatusque est populus huiuscemodi verbis Ezechiae regis Iuda.
9 After this hath Sennacherib king of Asshur sent his servants to Jerusalem — and he [is] by Lachish, and all his power with him — against Hezekiah king of Judah, and against all Judah, who [are] in Jerusalem, saying,
Quae postquam gesta sunt, misit Sennacherib rex Assyriorum servos suos in Ierusalem (ipse enim cum universo exercitu obsidebat Lachis) ad Ezechiam regem Iuda, et ad omnem populum, qui erat in urbe, dicens:
10 'Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur, On what are ye trusting and abiding in the bulwark, in Jerusalem?
Haec dicit Sennacherib rex Assyriorum: In quo habentes fiduciam sedetis obsessi in Ierusalem?
11 'Is not Hezekiah persuading you, to give you up to die by famine, and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God doth deliver us from the hand of the king of Asshur?
Num Ezechias decipit vos, ut tradat morti in fame et siti, affirmans quod Dominus Deus vester liberet vos de manu regis Assyriorum?
12 Hath not Hezekiah himself turned aside His high places, and His altars, and speaketh to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar ye bow yourselves, and on it ye make perfume?
Numquid non iste est Ezechias, qui destruxit excelsa illius, et altaria, et praecepit Iuda et Ierusalem, dicens: Coram altare uno adorabitis, et in ipso comburetis incensum?
13 'Do ye not know what I have done — I and my fathers — to all peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand?
An ignoratis quae ego fecerim, et patres mei cunctis terrarum populis? numquid praevaluerunt dii gentium, omniumque terrarum liberare regionem suam de manu mea?
14 Who among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers have devoted to destruction [is] he who hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God is able to deliver you out of my hand?
Quis est de universis diis gentium, quas vastaverunt patres mei, qui potuerit eruere populum suum de manu mea, ut possit etiam Deus vester eruere vos de hac manu?
15 'And, now, let not Hezekiah lift you up, nor persuade you thus, nor give credence to him, for no god of any nation and kingdom is able to deliver his people from my hand, and from the hand of my fathers: also, surely your God doth not deliver you from my hand!'
Non vos ergo decipiat Ezechias, nec vana persuasione deludat, neque credatis ei. Si enim nullus potuit deus cunctarum gentium atque regnorum liberare populum suum de manu mea, et de manu patrum meorum, consequenter nec Deus vester poterit eruere vos de manu mea.
16 And again have his servants spoken against Jehovah God, and against Hezekiah His servant,
Sed et alia multa locuti sunt servi eius contra Dominum Deum, et contra Ezechiam servum eius.
17 and letters he hath written to give reproach to Jehovah, God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, 'As the gods of the nations of the lands that have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah doth not deliver His people from my hand.'
epistolas quoque scripsit plenas blasphemiae in Dominum Deum Israel, et locutus est adversus eum: Sicut dii gentium ceterarum non potuerunt liberare populum suum de manu mea, sic et Deus Ezechiae eruere non poterit populum suum de manu ista.
18 And they call with a great voice [in] Jewish, against the people of Jerusalem who [are] on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them, that they may capture the city,
Insuper et clamore magno, lingua Iudaica contra populum, qui sedebat in muris Ierusalem, personabat, ut terreret eos, et caperet civitatem.
19 and they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land — work of the hands of man.
Locutusque est contra Deum Ierusalem, sicut adversum deos populorum terrae, opera manuum hominum.
20 And Hezekiah the king prayeth, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens,
Oraverunt igitur Ezechias rex, et Isaias filius Amos prophetes, adversum hanc blasphemiam, ac vociferati sunt usque in caelum.
21 and Jehovah sendeth a messenger, and cutteth off every mighty one of valour — both leader and head — in the camp of the king of Asshur, and he turneth back with shame of face to his land, and entereth the house of his god, and those coming out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword.
Et misit Dominus angelum, qui percussit omnem virum robustum, et bellatorem, et principem exercitus regis Assyriorum: Reversusque est cum ignominia in terram suam. Cumque ingressus esset domum Dei sui, filii qui egressi fuerant de utero eius, interfecerunt eum gladio.
22 And Jehovah saveth Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur, and from the hand of all, and He leadeth them round about;
Salvavitque Dominus Ezechiam et habitatores Ierusalem de manu Sennacherib regis Assyriorum, et de manu omnium, et praestitit eis quietem per circuitum.
23 and many are bringing in an offering to Jehovah, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this.
Multi etiam deferebant hostias, et sacrificia Domino in Ierusalem, et munera Ezechiae regi Iuda: qui exaltatus est post haec coram cunctis gentibus.
24 In those days hath Hezekiah been sick even unto death, and he prayeth unto Jehovah, and He speaketh to him, and a wonder hath appointed for him;
In diebus illis aegrotavit Ezechias usque ad mortem, et oravit Dominum: exaudivitque eum, et dedit ei signum.
25 and Hezekiah hath not returned according to the deed [done] unto him, for his heart hath been lofty, and there is wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem;
Sed non iuxta beneficia, quae acceperat, retribuit, quia elevatum est cor eius: et facta est contra eum ira, et contra Iuda et Ierusalem.
26 and Hezekiah is humbled for the loftiness of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of Jehovah hath not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
Humiliatusque est postea eo quod exaltatum fuisset cor eius, tam ipse, quam habitatores Ierusalem: et idcirco non venit super eos ira Domini in diebus Ezechiae.
27 And Hezekiah hath riches and honour very much, and treasures he hath made to himself of silver, and of gold, and of precious stone, and of spices, and of shields, and of all [kinds] of desirable vessels,
Fuit autem Ezechias dives, et inclytus valde, et thesauros sibi plurimos congregavit argenti et auri et lapidis pretiosi, aromatum, et armorum universi generis, et vasorum magni pretii.
28 and storehouses for the increase of corn, and new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and herds for stalls;
Apothecas quoque frumenti, vini, et olei, et praesepia omnium iumentorum, caulasque pecorum,
29 and cities he hath made for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God hath given to him very much substance.
et urbes sex aedificavit sibi: habebat quippe greges ovium, et armentorum innumerabiles, eo quod dedisset ei Dominus substantiam multam nimis.
30 And Hezekiah himself hath stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and directeth them beneath to the west of the city of David, and Hezekiah prospereth in all his work;
Ipse est Ezechias, qui obturavit superiorem fontem aquarum Gihon, et avertit eas subter ad Occidentem Urbis David: in omnibus operibus suis fecit prospere quae voluit.
31 and so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those sending unto him to inquire of the wonder that hath been in the land, God hath left him to try him, to know all in his heart,
Attamen in legatione principum Babylonis, qui missi fuerant ad eum, ut interrogarent de portento, quod acciderat super terram, dereliquit eum Deus ut tentaretur, et nota fierent omnia, quae erant in corde eius.
32 And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and his kind acts, lo, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Reliqua autem sermonum Ezechiae, et misericordiarum eius scripta sunt in visione Isaiae filii Amos prophetae, et in libro regum Iuda et Israel.
33 And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the uppermost of the graves of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done honour to him at his death, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead.
Dormivitque Ezechias cum patribus suis, et sepelierunt eum super sepulchra filiorum David: et celebravit eius exequias universus Iuda, et omnes habitatores Ierusalem: regnavitque Manasses filius eius pro eo.
