1ΚΑΙ μετὰ τοὺς λόγους τούτους καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ταύτην ἦλθε Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ἦλθεν ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ παρενέβαλεν ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς τειχήρεις καὶ εἶπε προκαταλαβέσθαι αὐτάς.
1After these things, and this truth, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came and entered into Juda, and besieged the fenced cities, desiring to take them.
2καὶ εἶδεν Ἐζεκίας ὅτι ἥκει Σενναχηρὶμ καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ πολεμῆσαι ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ,
2And when Ezechias saw that Sennacherib was come, and that the whole force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,
3καὶ ἐβουλεύσατο μετὰ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ τῶν δυνατῶν ἐμφράξαι τὰ ὕδατα τῶν πηγῶν, ἃ ἦν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως, καὶ συνεπίσχυσαν αὐτῷ.
3He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind,
4καὶ συνήγαγε λαὸν πολὺν καὶ ἐνέφραξε τὰ ὕδατα τῶν πηγῶν καὶ τὸν ποταμὸν τὸν διορίζοντα διὰ τῆς πόλεως λέγων· μὴ ἔλθῃ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ εὕρῃ ὕδωρ πολὺ καὶ κατισχύσῃ.
4He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and And abundance of water.
5καὶ κατίσχυσεν Ἐζεκίας καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε πᾶν τὸ τεῖχος τὸ κατεσκαμμένον καὶ πύργους καὶ ἔξω προτείχισμα ἄλλο καὶ κατίσχυσε τὸ ἀνάλημμα τῆς πόλεως Δαυὶδ καὶ κατεσκεύασεν ὅπλα πολλά.
5He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields:
6καὶ ἔθετο ἄρχοντας τοῦ πολέμου ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν, καὶ συνήχθησαν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν πλατεῖαν τῆς πύλης τῆς φάραγγος, καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ καρδίαν αὐτῶν λέγων·
6And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying:
7ἰσχύσατε καὶ ἀνδρίζεσθε καὶ μὴ φοβηθῆτε, μηδὲ πτοηθῆτε ἀπὸ προσώπου βασιλέως Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ ἀπὸ προσώπου παντὸς τοῦ ἔθνους τοῦ μετ' αὐτοῦ, ὅτι μεθ' ἡμῶν πλείονες ἢ μετ' αὐτοῦ·
7Behave like men, and take courage: be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of the Assyrians, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are many more with us than with him.
8μετ' αὐτοῦ βραχίονες σάρκινοι, μεθ' ἡμῶν δὲ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν τοῦ σῴζειν καὶ τοῦ πολεμεῖν τὸν πόλεμον ἡμῶν. καὶ κατεθάρσησεν ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ τοῖς λόγοις Ἐζεκίου βασιλέως Ἰούδα.
8For with him is an arm of flesh: with us the Lord our God, who is our helper, and fighteth for us. And the people were encouraged with these words of Ezechias king of Juda.
9καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπέστειλε Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τοὺς παῖδας ἑαυτοῦ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπὶ Λαχὶς καὶ πᾶσα ἡ στρατιὰ μετ' αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα καὶ πρὸς πάντα Ἰούδα τὸν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ λέγων·
9After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying:
10οὕτως λέγει Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων· ἐπὶ τί ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε καὶ καθήσεσθε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ;
10Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem?
11οὐχὶ Ἐζεκίας ἀπατᾷ ὑμᾶς τοῦ παραδοῦναι ὑμᾶς εἰς θάνατον καὶ εἰς λιμὸν καὶ εἰς δίψαν λέγων· Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν σώσει ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ;
11Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
12οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν Ἐζεκίας, ὃς περιεῖλε τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ ὑψηλὰ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ λέγων· κατέναντι τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τούτου προσκυνήσετε καὶ ἐπ' αὐτῷ θυμιάσατε;
12Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense?
13οὐ γνώσεσθε ὅ,τι ἐποίησα ἐγὼ καὶ οἱ πατέρες μου πᾶσι τοῖς λαοῖς τῶν χωρῶν; μὴ δυνάμενοι ἠδύναντο θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν πάσης τῆς γῆς σῶσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτῶν ἐκ χειρός μου;
13Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been able to deliver their country out of my hand?
14τίς ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς θεοῖς τῶν ἐθνῶν τούτων, οὓς ἐξωλόθρευσαν οἱ πατέρες μου; μὴ ἐδύναντο σῶσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτῶν ἐκ χειρός μου, ὅτι δυνήσεται ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν σῶσαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρός μου;
14Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this hand?
15νῦν οὖν μὴ ἀπατάτω ὑμᾶς Ἐζεκίας καὶ μὴ πεποιθέναι ὑμᾶς ποιείτω κατὰ ταῦτα, καὶ μὴ πιστεύετε αὐτῷ· ὅτι οὐ μὴ δύνηται ὁ Θεὸς παντὸς ἔθνους καὶ βασιλείας τοῦ σῶσαι τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρός μου καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πατέρων μου, ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ σώσει ὑμᾶς ἐκ χειρός μου.
15Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you out of my hand.
16καὶ ἔτι ἐλάλησαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν καὶ ἐπὶ Ἐζεκίαν παῖδα αὐτοῦ.
16And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant.
17καὶ βιβλίον ἔγραψεν ὀνειδίζειν τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ καὶ εἶπε περὶ αὐτοῦ λέγων· ὡς οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν τῆς γῆς οὐκ ἐξείλαντο λαοὺς αὐτῶν ἐκ χειρος μου, οὕτως οὐ μὴ ἐξέληται ὁ Θεὸς Ἐζεκίου λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐκ χειρός μου,
17He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand.
18καὶ ἐβόησε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἰουδαϊστὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους, τοῦ φοβῆσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ κατασπάσαι, ὅπως προκαταλάβωνται τὴν πόλιν.
18Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city.
19καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ Θεὸν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὡς καὶ ἐπὶ θεοὺς λαῶν τῆς γῆς, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων.
19And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
20καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Ἡσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς ὁ προφήτης περὶ τούτων καὶ ἐβόησαν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
20And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven.
21καὶ ἀπέστειλε Κύριος ἄγγελον, καὶ ἐξέτριψε πάντα δυνατὸν πολεμιστὴν καὶ ἄρχοντα καὶ στρατηγὸν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ βασιλέως Ἀσσούρ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψε μετὰ αἰσχύνης προσώπου εἰς τὴν γῆν ἑαυτοῦ. καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς οἶκον Θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῶν ἐξελθόντων ἐκ κοιλίας αὐτοῦ κατέβαλον αὐτὸν ἐν ρομφαίᾳ.
21And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him with the sword.
22καὶ ἔσωσε Κύριος τὸν Ἐζεκίαν καὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐκ χειρὸς Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλέως Ἀσσοὺρ καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς πάντων καὶ κατέπαυσεν αὐτοὺς κυκλόθεν.
22And the Lord saved Ezechias and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of the hand of Sennacherib king of the Assyrians, and out of the hand of all, and gave them treasures on every side.
23καὶ πολλοὶ ἔφερον δῶρα τῷ Κυρίῳ εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ καὶ δόματα τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ βασιλεῖ Ἰούδα, καὶ ὑπερήρθη κατ' ὀφθαλμοὺς πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν μετὰ ταῦτα.
23Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all nations.
24Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἠρρώστησεν Ἐζεκίας ἕως θανάτου· καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ σημεῖον ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ.
24In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign.
25καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὸ ἀνταπόδομα, ὃ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἀνταπέδωκεν Ἐζεκίας, ἀλλὰ ὑψώθη ἡ καρδία αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπ' αὐτὸν ὀργὴ καὶ ἐπὶ Ἰούδαν καὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
25But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem.
26καὶ ἐταπεινώθη Ἐζεκίας ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕψους τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ οὐκ ἐπῆλθεν ἐπ' αὐτοὺς ὀργὴ Κυρίου ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις Ἐζεκίου.
26And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias.
27καὶ ἐγένετο τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα πολλὴ σφόδρα, καὶ θησαυροὺς ἐποίησεν αὐτῷ ἀργυρίου καὶ χρυσίου καὶ τοῦ λίθου τοῦ τιμίου καὶ εἰς τὰ ἀρώματα καὶ ὁπλοθήκας καὶ εἰς σκεύη ἐπιθυμητὰ
27And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price.
28καὶ πόλεις εἰς τὰ γεννήματα τοῦ σίτου καὶ οἴνου καὶ ἐλαίου καὶ κώμας καὶ φάτνας παντὸς κτήνους καὶ μάνδρας εἰς τὰ ποίμνια
28Storehouses also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and stalls for all beasts, and folds for cattle.
29καὶ πόλεις, ἃς ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀποσκευὴν προβάτων καὶ βοῶν εἰς πλῆθος, ὅτι ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Κύριος ἀποσκευὴν πολλὴν σφόδρα.
29And he built himself cities: for he had flocks of sheep, and herds without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance.
30αὐτὸς Ἐζεκίας ἐνέφραξε τὴν ἔξοδον τοῦ ὕδατος Γιὼν τὸ ἄνω καὶ κατηύθυνεν αὐτὰ κάτω πρὸς λίβα τῆς πόλεως Δαυίδ· καὶ εὐωδώθη Ἐζεκίας ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔργοις αὐτοῦ.
30This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in ail his works he did prosperously what he would.
31καὶ οὕτως τοῖς πρεσβευταῖς τῶν ἀρχόντων ἀπὸ Βαβυλῶνος τοῖς ἀποσταλεῖσι πρὸς αὐτὸν πυθέσθαι παρ' αὐτοῦ τό τέρας, ὃ ἐγένετο ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, ἐγκατέλιπεν αὐτὸν Κύριος τοῦ πειράσαι αὐτόν, εἰδέναι τὰ ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
31But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart.
32καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Ἐζεκίου καὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ ἰδοὺ γέγραπται ἐν τῇ προφητείᾳ Ἡσαΐου υἱοῦ Ἀμὼς τοῦ προφήτου καὶ ἐπὶ βιβλίου βασιλέων Ἰούδα καὶ Ἰσραήλ.
32Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
33καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Ἐζεκίας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ἐν ἀναβάσει τάφων υἱῶν Δαυίδ, καὶ δόξαν καὶ τιμὴν ἔδωκαν αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ θανάτῳ αὐτοῦ πᾶς Ἰούδα καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσε Μανασσῆς υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ' αὐτοῦ.
33And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
