Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1And it came to pass, when king Ezechias had heard it, that he rent his garments and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
1Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν βασιλέα Ἐζεκίαν, ἔσχισε τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
2And he sent Eliacim who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and the ancients of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaias the son of Amos the prophet.
2Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἑλιακεὶμ τὸν οἰκονόμον, καὶ Σόμνᾶν τὸν γραμματέα, καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῶν ἱερέων περιβεβλημένους σάκκους, πρὸς Ἠσαΐαν υἱὸν Ἀμὼς τὸν προφήτην.
3And they said to him: Thus saith Ezechias: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
3Καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, τάδε λέγει Ἐζεκίας, ἡμέρα, θλίψεως καὶ ὀνειδισμοῦ καὶ ἐλεγμοῦ καὶ ὀργῆς ἡ σήμερον ἡμέρα, ὅτι ἥκει ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ τικτούσῃ, ἰσχὺν δὲ οὐκ ἔχει τοῦ τεκεῖν.
4It may be the Lord thy God will hear the words of Rabsaces, whom the king of the Assyrians his master hath sent to blaspheme the living God, and to reproach with words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
4Εἰσακούσαι Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου τοὺς λόγους Ῥαβσάκου, οὓς ἀπέστειλε βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων, ὀνειδίζειν Θεὸν ζῶντα, καὶ ὀνειδίζειν λόγους οὓς ἤκουσε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, καὶ δεηθήσῃ πρὸς Κύριόν σου περὶ τῶν καταλελειμμένων τούτων.
5And the servants of Ezechias came to Isaias.
5Καὶ ἦλθον οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως Ἐζεκίου πρὸς Ἡσαΐαν.
6And Isaias said to them: Thus shall you say to your master: Thus saith the Lord: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.
6Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἡσαΐας, οὕτως ἐρεῖτε πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν, τάδε λέγεἱ Κύριος, μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων ὧν ἤκουσας, οὓς ὠνείδισάν με οἱ πρέσβεις βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.
7Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a message, and shall return to his own country, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own country.
7Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐμβάλλω εἰς αὐτὸν πνεῦμα, καὶ ἀκούσας ἀγγελίαν, ἀποστραφήσεται εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεσεῖται μαχαίρᾳ ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ.
8And Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna. For he had heard that he was departed from Lachis.
8Καὶ ἀπέστρεψε Ῥαβσάκης, καὶ κατέλαβε τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων πολιορκοῦντα Λοβνάν· καὶ ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἀπῇρεν ἀπὸ Λαχίς.
9And he heard say about Tharaca the king of Ethiopia: He is come forth to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Ezechias, saying:
9Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Θαρακὰ βασιλεὺς Αἰθιόπων πολιορκῆσαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἀκούσας ἀπέστρεψε, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, λέγων,
10Thus shall you speak to Ezechias the king of Juda, saying: Let not thy God deceive thee, in whom thou trustest, saying: Jerusalem shall not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
10οὕτως ἐρεῖτε Ἐζεκίᾳ βασιλεῖ τῆς Ἰουδαίας, μή σε ἀπατάτω ὁ Θεός σου, ἐφʼ ᾧ πέποιθας ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, λέγων, οὐ μὴ παραδοθῇ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐν χειρὶ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.
11Behold thou hast heard all that the kings of the Assyrians hare done to all countries which they have destroyed, and canst thou be delivered?
11Σὺ οὐκ ἤκουσας ἃ ἐποίησαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων, πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ὡς ἀπώλεσαν; καὶ σὺ ῥυσθήσῃ;
12Have the gods of the nations delivered them whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozam, and Haram, and Reseph, and the children of Eden, that were in Thalassar?
12Μὴ ἐῤῥύσαντο αὐτοὺς οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὓς ἀπώλεσαν οἱ πατέρες μου, τήν τε Γωζᾶν, καὶ Χαῤῥὰν, καὶ Ῥαφὲθ, αἵ εἰσιν ἐν χώρᾳ Θεεμάθ;
13Where is the king of Emath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Ana, and of Ava?
13Ποῦ εἰσι βασιλεῖς Ἐμάθ; καὶ ποῦ Ἀρφάθ; καὶ ποῦ πόλεως Ἐπφαρουαὶμ, Ἀναγονγάυα;
14And Ezechias took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and Ezechias spread it before the Lord.
14Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἐζεκίας τὸ βιβλίον παρὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων, καὶ ἀνέγνω αὐτὸ, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ ἤνοιξεν αὐτὸ ἐναντίον Κυρίου.
15And Ezechias prayed to the Lord, saying:
15Καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας πρὸς Κύριον, λέγων,
16O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth, thou hast made heaven and earth.
16Κύριος σαβαὼθ ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῶν χερουβὶμ, σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς μόνος πάσης βασιλείας τῆς οἰκουμένης, σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν·
17Incline, O Lord, thy ear, and hear: open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God.
17Κλῖνον Κύριε τὸ οὖς σου, εἰσάκουσον Κύριε, ἄνοιξον Κύριε τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, εἴσβλεψον Κύριε, καὶ ἴδε τοὺς λόγους Σενναχηρεὶμ, οὓς ἀπέστειλεν ὀνειδίζειν Θεὸν ζῶντα.
18For of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste lands, and their countries.
18Ἐπʼ ἀληθείας γὰρ Κύριε ἠρήμωσαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅλην, καὶ τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν,
19And they have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the works of men’s hands, of wood and stone: and they broke them in pieces.
19καὶ ἀνέβαλον τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πῦρ· οὐ γὰρ θεοὶ ἦσαν, ἀλλὰ ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων, ξύλα καὶ λίθοι· καὶ ἀπώσαντο αὐτούς.
20And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand: and let all the kingdoms of the earth know, that thou only art the Lord.
20Νῦν δὲ Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν σῶσον ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα γνῷ πᾶσα βασιλεία τῆς γῆς, ὅτι σῦ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς μόνος.
21And Isaias the son of Amos sent to Ezechias, saying: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: For the prayer thou hast made to me concerning Sennacherib the king of the Assyrians:
21Καὶ ἀπεστάλη Ἡσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἤκουσα ἃ προσηύξω πρὸς μὲ περὶ Σενναχηρεὶμ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.
22This is the word which the Lord hath spoken of him: The virgin the daughter of Sion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn: the daughter of Jerusalem hath wagged the head after thee.
22Οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησε περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ Θεὸς, ἐφαύλισέ σε, καὶ ἐμυκτήρισέ σε παρθένος θυγάτηρ Σιὼν, ἐπὶ σοὶ κεφαλὴν ἐκίνησε θυγάτηρ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
23Whom hast thou reproached, and whom hast thou blasphemed, and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
23Τίνα ὠνείδισας καὶ παρώξυνας; ἢ πρὸς τίνα ὕψωσας τὴν φωνήν σου; καὶ οὐκ ᾖρας εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου πρὸς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ;
24By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord: and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus: and I will out down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees, and will enter to the top of its height, to the forest of its Carmel.
24Ὅτι διʼ ἀγγέλων ὠνείδισας Κύριον· σὺ γὰρ εἶπας, τῷ πλήθει τῶν ἁρμάτων ἐγὼ ἀνέβην εἰς ὕψος ὀρέων, καὶ εἰς τὰ ἔσχατα τοῦ Λιβάνου, καὶ ἔκοψα τὸ ὕψος τῆς κέδρου αὐτοῦ, καὶ τὸ κάλλος τῆς κυπαρίσσου, καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς ὕψος μέρους τοῦ δρυμοῦ,
25I have digged, and drunk water, and have dried up with the sole of my foot, all the rivers shut up in banks.
25καὶ ἔθηκα γέφυραν, καὶ ἠρήμωσα ὕδατα καὶ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν ὕδατος.
26Hast thou not heard what I have done to him of old? from the days of old I have formed it: and now I have brought it to effect: and it hath come to pass that hills fighting together, and fenced cities should be destroyed.
26Οὐ ταῦτα ἤκουσας πάλαὶ ἃ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα; ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων συνέταξα, νῦν δὲ ἐπέδειξα ἐξερημῶσαι ἔθνη ἐν ὀχυροῖς, καὶ οἰκοῦντας ἐν πόλεσιν ὀχυραῖς.
27The inhabitants of them were weak of hand, they trembled, and were confounded: they became like the grass of the field, and the herb of the pasture, and like the grass of the housetops, which withered before it was ripe.
27Ἀνῆκα τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν, καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς χόρτος ξηρὸς ἐπὶ δωμάτων, καὶ ὡς ἄγρωστις.
28I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
28Νῦν δὲ τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου, καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου, καὶ τὴν εἴσοδόν σου ἐγὼ ἐπίσταμαι.
29When thou wast mad against me, thy pride came up to my ears: therefore I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bit between thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
29Ὁ δὲ θυμός σου ὃν ἐθυμώθης, καὶ ἡ πικρία σου ἀνέβη πρὸς μὲ, καὶ ἐμβαλῶ φιμὸν εἰς τὴν ῥῖνά σου, καὶ χαλινὸν εἰς τὰ χείλη σου, καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθες ἐν αὐτῇ.
30But to thee this shall be a sign: Eat this year the things that spring of themselves, and in the second year eat fruits: but in the third year sow and reap, and giant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
30Τοῦτο δέ σοι τὸ σημεῖον· φάγε τοῦτον τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν ἃ ἔσπαρκας, τῷ δὲ ἐνιαὐτῷ τῷ δευτέρῳ τὸ κατάλειμμα, τῷ δὲ τρίτῳ σπείραντες ἀμήσατε, καὶ φυτεύσατε ἀμπελῶνας, καὶ φάγεσθε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν.
31And that which shall be saved of the house of Juda, and which is left, shall take root downward, and shall bear fruit upward:
31Καὶ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελιμμένοι ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, φυήσουσι ῥίζαν κάτω, καὶ ποιήσουσι σπέρμα ἄνω·
32For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a, remnant, and salvation from mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
32Ὅτι ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελειμμένοι, καὶ οἱ σωζόμενοι ἐξ ὄρους Σιών· ὁ ζῆλος Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ποιήσει ταῦτα.
33Wherefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a trench about it.
33Διατοῦτο οὕτως λέγει Κύριος ἐπὶ βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, οὐδὲ μὴ βάλῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὴν βέλος, οὐδὲ μὴ ἐπιβάλῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὴν θυρεὸν, οὐδὲ μὴ κυκλώσῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὴν χάρακα·
34By the way that he came, he shall return, and into this city he shall not come, saith the Lord.
34Ἀλλὰ τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθεν, ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποστραφήσεται, καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος.
35And I will protect this city, and will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
35Ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης τοῦ σῶσαι αὐτὴν διʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν παῖδά μου.
36And the angel of the Lord went out, and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold they were all dead corpses.
36Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἄγγελος Κυρίου, καὶ ἀνεῖλεν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς τῶν Ἀσσυρίων ἑκατὸν ὀγδοηκονταπέντε χιλιάδας· καὶ ἀναστάντες τοπρωῒ, εὗρον πάντα τὰ σώματα νεκρά.
37And Sennacherib the king of the Assyrians went out and departed, and returned, and dwelt in Ninive.
37Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀποστραφεὶς Σενναχηρεὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν Νινευῇ.
38And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the temple of Nesroch his god, that Adramelech and Sarasar his sons slew him with the sword: and they fled into the land of Ararat, and Asarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
38Καὶ ἐν τῷ αὐτὸν προσκυνεῖν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Νασαρὰχ τὸν πάτραρχον αὐτοῦ, Ἀδραμέλεχ καὶ Σαρασὰρ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν μαχαίραις, αὐτοὶ δὲ διεσώθησαν εἰς Ἀρμενίαν, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀσορδὰν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.
