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 faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to make a breach therein for himself.
2καὶ εἶδεν Ἐζεκίας ὅτι ἥκει Σενναχηρὶμ καὶ τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ τοῦ πολεμῆσαι ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ,
2And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight 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 his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city; and they helped him.
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.
4So there was gathered much people together, and they stopped all the fountains, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying: 'Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much 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.
5And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and strengthened Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
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 set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke encouragingly to them, 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·
7'Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there is a Greater 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.
8with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles.' And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
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 did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem — now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him — unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying:
10οὕτως λέγει Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων· ἐπὶ τί ὑμεῖς πεποίθατε καὶ καθήσεσθε ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ;
10'Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria: Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide the siege 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 Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying: The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
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;
12Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying: Ye shall worship before one altar, and upon it shall ye offer?
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 ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any wise able to deliver their land 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 was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my 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.
15Now therefore let not Hezekiah beguile you, nor persuade you after this manner, neither believe ye him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers; how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?'
16καὶ ἔτι ἐλάλησαν οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον Θεὸν καὶ ἐπὶ Ἐζεκίαν παῖδα αὐτοῦ.
16And his servants spoke yet more against the LORD God, and against His servant Hezekiah.
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 a letter, to taunt the LORD, the God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying: 'As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver His people out of my hand.'
18καὶ ἐβόησε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἰουδαϊστὶ ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν Ἱερουσαλὴμ τὸν ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους, τοῦ φοβῆσαι αὐτοὺς καὶ κατασπάσαι, ὅπως προκαταλάβωνται τὴν πόλιν.
18And they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to terrify them, and to affright them; that they might take the city.
19καὶ ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ Θεὸν Ἱερουσαλήμ, ὡς καὶ ἐπὶ θεοὺς λαῶν τῆς γῆς, ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων.
19And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.
20καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Ἡσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς ὁ προφήτης περὶ τούτων καὶ ἐβόησαν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.
20And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried 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 mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there 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.
22Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all, and guided them 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.
23And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
24Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἠρρώστησεν Ἐζεκίας ἕως θανάτου· καὶ προσηύξατο πρὸς Κύριον, καὶ ἐπήκουσεν αὐτῷ, καὶ σημεῖον ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ.
24In those days Hezekiah was sick even unto death; and he prayed unto the LORD; and He spoke unto 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 Hezekiah rendered not according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up; therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah 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.
26Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
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 Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour; and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of goodly vessels;
28καὶ πόλεις εἰς τὰ γεννήματα τοῦ σίτου καὶ οἴνου καὶ ἐλαίου καὶ κώμας καὶ φάτνας παντὸς κτήνους καὶ μάνδρας εἰς τὰ ποίμνια
28store-houses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and flocks in folds.
29καὶ πόλεις, ἃς ᾠκοδόμησεν αὐτῷ, καὶ ἀποσκευὴν προβάτων καὶ βοῶν εἰς πλῆθος, ὅτι ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ Κύριος ἀποσκευὴν πολλὴν σφόδρα.
29Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God 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 Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
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.
31Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that He might know all that was 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 Hezekiah, and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah 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 Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the sepulchres of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
