2 Kings 18
1 Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
anno tertio Osee filii Hela regis Israhel regnavit Ezechias filius Ahaz regis Iuda
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
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 that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.
fecitque quod erat bonum coram Domino iuxta omnia quae fecerat David pater suus
4 He removed the high places, and brake the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; and he 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 Jehovah, 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.
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 clave to Jehovah; he departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses.
et adhesit Domino et non recessit a vestigiis eius fecitque mandata eius quae praeceperat Dominus Mosi
7 And Jehovah was with him; whithersoever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served 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 Philistines unto Gaza and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
ipse percussit Philistheos usque Gazam et omnes terminos eorum a turre custodum usque ad civitatem muratam
9 And it came to pass 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.
anno quarto regis Ezechiae qui erat annus septimus Osee filii Hela regis Israhel ascendit Salmanassar rex Assyriorum Samariam et obpugnavit eam
10 And 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.
et cepit nam post annos tres anno sexto Ezechiae id est nono anno Osee regis Israhel capta est Samaria
11 And the king of Assyria carried Israel away unto Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river 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 obeyed not the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
quia non audierunt vocem Domini Dei sui sed praetergressi sunt pactum eius omnia quae praeceperat Moses servus Domini non audierunt neque fecerunt
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.
anno quartodecimo regis Ezechiae ascendit Sennacherib rex Assyriorum ad universas civitates Iuda munitas et cepit eas
14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
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 And Hezekiah gave [him] all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king’s house.
deditque Ezechias omne argentum quod reppertum fuerat in domo Domini et in thesauris regis
16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and [from] the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
in tempore illo confregit Ezechias valvas templi Domini et lamminas auri quas ipse adfixerat et dedit eas regi Assyriorum
17 And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army unto Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And 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.
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 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.
vocaveruntque regem egressus est autem ad eos Eliachim filius Helciae praepositus domus et Sobna scriba et Ioahe filius Asaph a commentariis
19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, 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 sayest (but they are but vain words), [There is] counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
forsitan inisti consilium ut praepares te ad proelium in quo confidis ut audeas rebellare
21 Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto 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 unto me, We trust in Jehovah our God; is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
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, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
nunc igitur transite ad dominum meum regem Assyriorum et dabo vobis duo milia equorum et videte an habere valeatis ascensores eorum
24 How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for 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 up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up 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 said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jews’ language, in the ears 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 said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men that sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water 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 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spake, saying, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
stetit itaque Rabsaces et clamavit voce magna iudaice et ait audite verba regis magni regis Assyriorum
29 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand:
haec dicit rex non vos seducat Ezechias non enim poterit eruere vos de manu mea
30 neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
neque fiduciam vobis tribuat super Domino dicens eruens liberabit nos Dominus et non tradetur civitas haec in manu regis Assyriorum
31 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
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 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 ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.
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 ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
numquid liberaverunt dii gentium terram suam de manu regis Assyriorum
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?
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 countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my 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 held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
tacuit itaque populus et non respondit ei quicquam siquidem praeceptum regis acceperant ut non responderent ei
37 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words 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
