Isaiæ 37
1 et factum est cum audisset rex Ezechias scidit vestimenta sua et obvolutus est sacco et intravit in domum Domini
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 the LORD.
2 et misit Eliachim qui erat super domum et Sobnam scribam et seniores de sacerdotibus opertos saccis ad Isaiam filium Amos prophetam
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 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
And they said to him, Thus says 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.
4 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
It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD your God has heard: why lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 et venerunt servi regis Ezechiae ad Isaiam
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 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
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 ecce ego dabo ei spiritum et audiet nuntium et revertetur ad terram suam et corruere eum faciam gladio in terra sua
Behold, I will send a blast on him, and he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 reversus est autem Rabsaces et invenit regem Assyriorum proeliantem adversus Lobna audierat enim quia profectus esset de Lachis
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 et audivit de Tharaca rege Aethiopiae dicentes egressus est ut pugnet contra te quod cum audisset misit nuntios ad Ezechiam dicens
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with you. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 haec dicetis Ezechiae regi Iudae loquentes non te decipiat Deus tuus in quo tu confidis dicens non dabitur Hierusalem in manu regis Assyriorum
Thus shall you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 ecce tu audisti omnia quae fecerunt reges Assyriorum omnibus terris quas subverterunt et tu poteris liberari
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shall you be delivered?
12 numquid eruerunt eos dii gentium quos subverterunt patres mei Gozan et Aran et Reseph et filios Eden qui erant in Thalassar
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?
13 ubi est rex Emath et rex Arfad et rex urbis Seffarvaim Anahe et Ava
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
14 et tulit Ezechias libros de manu nuntiorum et legit eos et ascendit in domum Domini et expandit eos Ezechias coram Domino
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 et oravit Ezechias ad Dominum dicens
And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
16 Domine exercituum Deus Israhel qui sedes super cherubin tu es Deus solus omnium regnorum terrae tu fecisti caelum et terram
O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwell between the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: you have made heaven and earth.
17 inclina Domine aurem tuam et audi aperi Domine oculos tuos et vide et audi omnia verba Sennacherib quae misit ad blasphemandum Deum viventem
Incline your ear, O LORD, and hear; open your eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which has sent to reproach the living God.
18 vere enim Domine desertas fecerunt reges Assyriorum terras et regiones earum
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
19 et dederunt deos earum igni non enim erant dii sed opera manuum hominum lignum et lapis et comminuerunt eos
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.
20 et nunc Domine Deus noster salva nos de manu eius et cognoscant omnia regna terrae quia tu es Dominus solus
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.
21 et misit Isaias filius Amos ad Ezechiam dicens haec dicit Dominus Deus Israhel pro quibus rogasti me de Sennacherib rege Assyriorum
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says the LORD God of Israel, Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
22 hoc est verbum quod locutus est Dominus super eum despexit te subsannavit te virgo filia Sion post te caput movit filia Hierusalem
This is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you, and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 cui exprobrasti et quem blasphemasti et super quem exaltasti vocem et levasti altitudinem oculorum tuorum ad Sanctum Israhel
Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? and against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
24 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
By your servants have you reproached the Lord, and have 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.
25 ego fodi et bibi aquam et exsiccavi vestigio pedis mei omnes rivos aggerum
I have dig, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
26 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
Have you 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 you should be to lay waste defended cities into ruinous heaps.
27 habitatores earum breviata manu contremuerunt et confusi sunt facti sunt sicut faenum agri et gramen pascuae et herba tectorum quae exaruit antequam maturesceret
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 corn blasted before it be grown up.
28 habitationem tuam et egressum tuum et introitum tuum cognovi et insaniam tuam contra me
But I know your stayed, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against me.
29 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
Because your rage against me, and your tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
30 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
And this shall be a sign to you, You shall eat this year such as grows of itself; and the second year that which springs of the same: and in the third year sow you, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 et mittet id quod salvatum fuerit de domo Iuda et quod reliquum est radicem deorsum et faciet fructum sursum
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 quia de Hierusalem exibunt reliquiae et salvatio de monte Sion zelus Domini exercituum faciet istud
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
33 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
Therefore thus says the LORD 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.
34 in via qua venit per eam revertetur et civitatem hanc non ingredietur dicit Dominus
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, says the LORD.
35 et protegam civitatem istam ut salvem eam propter me et propter David servum meum
For I will defend this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 egressus est autem angelus Domini et percussit in castris Assyriorum centum octoginta quinque milia et surrexerunt mane et ecce omnes cadavera mortuorum
Then the angel of the LORD 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.
37 et egressus est et abiit et reversus est Sennacherib rex Assyriorum et habitavit in Nineve
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelled at Nineveh.
38 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
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 Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
