Isaiah 37
1 And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, —and covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of Yahweh;
et factum est cum audisset rex Ezechias scidit vestimenta sua et obvolutus est sacco et intravit in domum Domini
2 and sent Eliakim who was over the household and Shebna the scribe and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, —unto Isaiah the prophet, 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, A day of distress and rebuke and reviling, is this day, —For children are come to the birth, and, strength, is there none 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 parienti
4 It may be, that Yahweh thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria his lord, hath sent to reproach a Living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh thy God hath heard, —Wherefore lift thou up a prayer, for the remnant that remaineth.
si quo modo audiat Dominus Deus tuus verba Rabsaces quem misit rex Assyriorum dominus suus ad blasphemandum Deum viventem et obprobrandum sermonibus quos audivit Dominus Deus tuus leva ergo orationem pro reliquiis quae reppertae sunt
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came unto Isaiah.
et venerunt servi regis Ezechiae ad Isaiam
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus, shall ye, surely say, unto your lord, —Thus, saith Yahweh—Be not thou afraid because of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled, 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 me! about to let go against him a blast of alarm, and when he heareth the report, then will he return to his own country, —and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
ecce ego dabo ei spiritum et audiet nuntium 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 had broken up from Lachish.
reversus est autem Rabsaces et invenit regem Assyriorum proeliantem adversus Lobna audierat enim quia profectus esset de Lachis
9 And he heard it reported concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, saying, He hath come forth to fight with thee, —so when he heard it, he sent messengers unto Hezekiah, saying:
et audivit de Tharaca rege Aethiopiae dicentes egressus est ut pugnet contra te quod cum audisset misit nuntios ad Ezechiam dicens
10 Thus, shall ye surely speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom, thou, art trusting, beguile thee, saying, —Jerusalem, shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria.
haec dicetis Ezechiae regi Iudae loquentes non te decipiat Deus tuus in quo tu confidis dicens non dabitur Hierusalem in manu regis Assyriorum
11 Lo! thou, thyself, hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands in devoting them to destruction, —and shalt, thou, be delivered?
ecce tu audisti omnia quae fecerunt reges Assyriorum omnibus terris quas subverterunt et tu poteris liberari
12 Did the gods of the nations, deliver them, whom my fathers destroyed, —Gozan, and Haran, —and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were in Telassar?
numquid eruerunt eos dii gentium quos subverterunt patres mei Gozan et Aran et Reseph et filios Eden qui erant in Thalassar
13 Where are 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 Arfad et rex urbis Seffarvaim Anahe et Ava
14 And, when Hezekiah had received the letter at the hand of the messengers, and had read it, then went he up to the house of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out, before Yahweh.
et tulit Ezechias libros de manu nuntiorum et legit eos et ascendit in domum Domini et expandit eos Ezechias coram Domino
15 And Hezekiah prayed unto Yahweh saying:
et oravit Ezechias ad Dominum dicens
16 O Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel—inhabiting the cherubim, Thou thyself, art GOD, even thou alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou, didst make the heavens and the earth.
Domine exercituum Deus Israhel qui sedes super cherubin tu es Deus solus omnium regnorum terrae tu fecisti caelum et terram
17 Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear—and hear, Open, O Yahweh, thine eyes—and see, —Yea hear thou all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent—to reproach a 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, O Yahweh, —the kings of Assyria have devoted to destruction all the countries, and their land;
vere enim Domine desertas fecerunt reges Assyriorum terras et regiones earum
19 and have put their gods in the fire, —for, no-gods, were they, but the work of the hands of men wood and stone and so they 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 Yahweh our God, save us, out of his hand, —That all the kingdoms of the earth, may know, That, thou, art Yahweh, thou alone.
et nunc Domine Deus noster salva nos de manu eius et cognoscant omnia regna terrae quia tu es Dominus solus
21 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, In that thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
et misit Isaias filius Amos ad Ezechiam dicens haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel pro quibus rogasti me de Sennacherib rege Assyriorum
22 this, is the word which Yahweh hath spoken concerning him, —The virgin daughter of Zion, laugheth thee to scorn—mocketh thee, The daughter of Jerusalem after thee doth wag her head,
hoc est verbum quod locutus est Dominus super eum despexit te subsannavit te virgo filia Sion post te caput movit filia Hierusalem
23 Whom, hast thou reproached and insulted? And, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? Yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, against the Holy One of Israel.
cui exprobrasti et quem blasphemasti et super quem exaltasti vocem et levasti altitudinem oculorum tuorum ad Sanctum Israhel
24 Through thy servants, thou hast reproached My Lord and hast said, —With my multitude of chariots, have I ascended The height of the mountains The recesses of Lebanon, That I may cut down Its tallest cedars Its choicest firs, That I may enter Its highest summit, Its thick garden forest:
in manu servorum tuorum exprobrasti Domino et dixisti in multitudine quadrigarum mearum ego ascendi altitudinem montium iuga Libani et succidam excelsa cedrorum eius electas abietes illius et introibo altitudinem summitatis eius saltum Carmeli eius
25 I, have digged, and drunk waters, —That I may dry up, with the soles of my feet, all the Nile-streams of Egypt.
ego fodi et bibi aquam et exsiccavi vestigio pedis mei omnes rivos aggerum
26 Hast thou not heard—That, long ago, that, is what I appointed, And from days of old, devised? Now, have I brought it to pass, That thou mightest Serve to lay waste, in desolate ruins, fortified cities;
numquid non audisti quae olim fecerim ei ex diebus antiquis ego plasmavi illud et nunc adduxi et factum est in eradicationem collium conpugnantium et civitatum munitarum
27 And their inhabitants, being powerless, were overthrown and put to shame—They became—Grass of the field and Young herbage, Grass on housetops, and Seed parched before it came up.
habitatores earum breviata manu contremuerunt et confusi sunt facti sunt sicut faenum agri et gramen pascuae et herba tectorum quae exaruit antequam maturesceret
28 Howbeit, thine abode and thy coming out and thy going in, I know, —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 thy contempt, have come up into mine ears, Therefore will I put My ring in thy nose, and My bit in thy lips, And 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 quam venisti
30 And, this unto thee, is the sign, Eating this year, the growth of scattered seeds, And in the second year, that which shooteth up of itself, —Then in the third year, Sow ye—and reap, and Plant ye 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 Then shall the escaped of the house of Judah that remain, 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 come forth a remnant, And that which hath escaped, out of Mount Zion, —the jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform, this.
quia de Hierusalem exibunt reliquiae et salvatio de monte Sion zelus Domini exercituum faciet istud
33 Therefore, thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not enter this city, Nor shoot there, an arrow, —Nor attack it with shield, Nor cast up against it a mound:
propterea haec dicit Dominus de rege Assyriorum non introibit 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 in, By the Same, shall he return, —And into this city, shall he not enter, Declareth Yahweh.
in via qua venit per eam revertetur et civitatem hanc non ingredietur dicit Dominus
35 Thus will I throw a covering over this city to save it, —For mine own sake, And for the sake of David my servant.
et protegam civitatem istam ut salvem eam propter me et propter David servum meum
36 Then went forth the messenger of Yahweh, and smote—in the camp of the Assyrians—a hundred and eighty-five thousand, —and when men arose early in the morning, lo! they were all, dead bodies!
egressus est autem angelus Domini et percussit in castris Assyriorum centum octoginta quinque milia et surrexerunt mane et ecce omnes cadavera mortuorum
37 So Sennacherib the king of Assyria brake up, and went his way, and returned, —and remained in Nineveh.
et egressus est et abiit et reversus est Sennacherib rex Assyriorum et habitavit in Nineve
38 And it came to pass, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons, smote him with the sword, howbeit, they, escaped into the land of Ararat, —and, Esarhaddon his son, reigned, in his stead.
et factum est cum adoraret in templo Nesrach deum suum Adramelech et Sarasar filii eius percusserunt eum gladio fugeruntque in terram Ararat et regnavit Asoraddon filius eius pro eo
