1ΚΑΙ ἐγένετο ἐν ἔτει τρίτῳ τῷ Ὡσηὲ υἱῷ Ἠλὰ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἐζεκίας υἱὸς Ἄχαζ βασιλέως Ἰούδα.
1Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2υἱὸς εἴκοσι καὶ πέντε ἐτῶν ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ εἴκοσι καὶ ἐννέα ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Ἄβου θυγάτηρ Ζαχαρίου.
2He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
3καὶ ἐποίησε τὸ εὐθὲς ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς Κυρίου κατὰ πάντα, ὅσα ἐποίησε Δαυὶδ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
3He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
4αὐτὸς ἐξῇρε τὰ ὑψηλὰ καὶ συνέτριψε τὰς στήλας καὶ ἐξωλόθρευσε τὰ ἄλση καὶ τὸν ὄφιν τὸν χαλκοῦν, ὃν ἐποίησε Μωυσῆς, ὅτι ἕως τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκείνων ἦσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ θυμιῶντες αὐτῷ, καὶ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν Νεεσθάν.
4He removed the high places, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
5ἐν Κυρίῳ Θεῷ Ἰσραὴλ ἤλπισε, καὶ μετ᾿ αὐτὸν οὐκ ἐγενήθη ὅμοιος αὐτῷ ἐν βασιλεῦσιν Ἰούδα καὶ ἐν τοῖς γενομένοις ἔμπροσθεν αὐτοῦ·
5He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
6καὶ ἐκολλήθη τῷ Κυρίῳ, οὐκ ἀπέστη ὄπισθεν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐφύλαξε τὰς ἐντολὰς αὐτοῦ, ὅσας ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῇ·
6For he joined with the LORD. He didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
7καὶ ἦν Κύριος μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν, οἷς ἐποίει, συνῆκε. καὶ ἠθέτησεν ἐν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων καὶ οὐκ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτῷ.
7The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
8αὐτὸς ἐπάταξε τοὺς ἀλλοφύλους ἕως Γάζης καὶ ἕως ὁρίου αὐτῆς ἀπὸ πύργου φυλασσόντων καὶ ἕως πόλεως ὀχυρᾶς.
8He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
9Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἔτει τῷ τετάρτῳ βασιλεῖ Ἐζεκίᾳ (αὐτὸς ἐνιαυτὸς ὁ ἕβδομος τῷ Ὡσηὲ υἱῷ Ἠλὰ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραὴλ) ἀνέβη Σαλαμανασὰρ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ Σαμάρειαν καὶ ἐπολιόρκει ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν·
9In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
10καὶ κατελάβετο αὐτὴν ἀπὸ τέλους τριῶν ἐτῶν ἐν ἔτει ἕκτῳ τῷ Ἐζεκίᾳ (αὐτὸς ἐνιαυτὸς ἔνατος τῷ Ὡσηὲ βασιλεῖ Ἰσραήλ), καὶ συνελήφθη Σαμάρεια.
10At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
11καὶ ἀπῴκισε βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν Σαμάρειαν εἰς Ἀσσυρίους καὶ ἔθηκεν αὐτοὺς ἐν Ἀλαὲ καὶ ἐν Ἀβὼρ ποταμῷ Γωζὰν καὶ ὄρη Μήδων,
11The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
12ἀνθ᾿ ὧν ὅτι οὐκ ἤκουσαν τῆς φωνῆς Κυρίου Θεοῦ αὐτῶν καὶ παρέβησαν τὴν διαθήκην αὐτοῦ, πάντα ὅσα ἐνετείλατο Μωυσῆς ὁ δοῦλος Κυρίου, καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν καὶ οὐκ ἐποίησαν.
12because they didn’t obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it.
13Καὶ τῷ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτῳ ἔτει τοῦ βασιλέως Ἐζεκίου ἀνέβη Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις Ἰούδα τὰς ὀχυρὰς καὶ συνέλαβεν αὐτάς.
13Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
14καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἐζεκίας βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα ἀγγέλους πρὸς βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων εἰς Λαχὶς λέγων· ἡμάρτηκα, ἀποστράφηθι ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ· ὃ ἐὰν ἐπιθῇς ἐπ᾿ ἐμέ, βαστάσω. καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ Ἐζεκίαν βασιλέα Ἰούδα τριακόσια τάλαντα ἀργυρίου καὶ τριάκοντα τάλαντα χρυσίου.
14Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15καὶ ἔδωκεν Ἐζεκίας πᾶν τὸ ἀργύριον τὸ εὑρεθὲν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου καὶ ἐν θησαυροῖς οἴκου τοῦ βασιλέως.
15Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house.
16ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ συνέκοψεν Ἐζεκίας τὰς θύρας ναοῦ καὶ τὰ ἐστηριγμένα, ἃ ἐχρύσωσεν Ἐζεκίας ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰούδα, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτὰ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων.
16At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
17καὶ ἀπέστειλε βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τὸν Θαρθὰν καὶ τὸν Ραφὶς καὶ τὸν Ραψάκην ἐκ Λαχὶς πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Ἐζεκίαν ἐν δυνάμει βαρείᾳ ἐπὶ Ἱερουσαλήμ, καὶ ἔστησαν ἐν τῷ ὑδραγωγῷ τῆς κολυμβήθρας τῆς ἄνω, ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τοῦ γναφέως.
17The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
18καὶ ἐβόησαν πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, καὶ ἦλθον πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἑλιακὶμ υἱὸς Χελκίου ὁ οἰκονόμος καὶ Σωμνὰς ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ Ἰωὰς ὁ υἱὸς Σαφὰτ ὁ ἀναμιμνῃ£σκων.
18When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them.
19καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ραψάκης· εἴπατε δὴ πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν· τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ μέγας ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων· τί ἡ πεποίθησις αὕτη, ἣν πέποιθας;
19Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
20εἶπας· πλὴν λόγοι χειλέων, βουλὴ καὶ δύναμις εἰς πόλεμον. νῦν οὖν τίνι πεποιθὼς ἠθέτησας ἐν ἐμοί;
20You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
21νῦν ἰδοὺ πέποιθας σαυτῷ ἐπὶ τὴν ράβδον τὴν καλαμίνην τὴν τεθλασμένην ταύτην, ἐπ᾿ Αἴγυπτον; ὃς ἂν στηριχθῇ ἀνὴρ ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν, καὶ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τρήσει αὐτήν· οὕτως Φαραὼ βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου πᾶσι τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπ᾿ αὐτόν.
21Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
22καὶ ὅτι εἶπας πρός με· ἐπὶ Κύριον Θεὸν πεποίθαμεν· οὐχὶ αὐτὸς οὗτος, οὗ ἀπέστησεν Ἐζεκίας τὰ ὑψηλὰ αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπε τῷ Ἰούδᾳ καὶ τῇ Ἱερουσαλήμ· ἐνώπιον τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου τούτου προσκυνήσετε ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ;
22But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
23καὶ νῦν μίχθητε δὴ τῷ κυρίῳ μου βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ δώσω σοι δισχιλίους ἵππους, εἰ δυνήσῃ δοῦναι σεαυτῷ ἐπιβάτας ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς.
23Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
24καὶ πῶς ἀποστρέψεις τὸ πρόσωπον τοπάρχου ἑνὸς τῶν δούλων τοῦ κυρίου μου τῶν ἐλαχίστων; καὶ ἤλπισας σαυτῷ ἐπ᾿ Αἴγυπτον εἰς ἅρματα καὶ ἱππεῖς.
24How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
25καὶ νῦν μὴ ἄνευ Κυρίου ἀνέβημεν ἐπὶ τὸν τόπον τοῦτον τοῦ διαφθεῖραι αὐτόν; Κύριος εἶπε πρός με· ἀνάβηθι ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ταύτην καὶ διάφθειρον αὐτήν.
25Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
26καὶ εἶπεν Ἑλιακὶμ υἱὸς Χελκίου καὶ Σωμνὰς καὶ Ἰωὰς πρὸς Ραψάκην· λάλησον δὴ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδάς σου Συριστί, ὅτι ἀκούομεν ἡμεῖς, καὶ οὐ λαλήσεις μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν Ἰουδαϊστί, καὶ ἱνατί λαλεῖς ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶ τοῦ λαοῦ τοῦ ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους;
26Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
27καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ραψάκης· μὴ ἐπὶ τὸν κύριόν σου καὶ πρὸς σὲ ἀπέστειλέ με ὁ κύριός μου λαλῆσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους; οὐχὶ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄνδρας τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους τοῦ φαγεῖν τὴν κόπρον αὐτῶν καὶ πιεῖν τὸ οὖρον αὐτῶν μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν ἅμα;
27But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?”
28καὶ ἔστη Ραψάκης καὶ ἐβόησε φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ἰουδαϊστὶ καὶ ἐλάλησε καὶ εἶπεν· ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων·
28Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
29τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς· μὴ ἐπαιρέτω ὑμᾶς Ἐζεκίας λόγοις, ὅτι οὐ μὴ δύνηται ὑμᾶς ἐξελέσθαι ἐκ χειρός μου.
29The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
30καὶ μὴ ἐλπιζέτω ὑμᾶς Ἐζεκίας πρὸς Κύριον λέγων· ἐξαιρούμενος ἐξελεῖται Κύριος, οὐ μὴ παραδοθῇ ἡ πόλις αὕτη ἐν χειρὶ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.
30Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
31μὴ ἀκούετε Ἐζεκίου· ὅτι τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων· ποιήσατε μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ εὐλογίαν καὶ ἐξέλθατε πρός με, καὶ πίεται ἀνὴρ τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνὴρ τὴν συκῆν αὐτοῦ φάγεται καὶ πίεται ὕδωρ τοῦ λάκκου αὐτοῦ,
31Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from his own cistern;
32ἕως ἔλθω καὶ λάβω ὑμᾶς εἰς γῆν ὡς γῆ ὑμῶν, γῆ σίτου καὶ οἴνου καὶ ἄρτου καὶ ἀμπελώνων, γῆ ἐλαίας ἐλαίου καὶ μέλιτος, καὶ ζήσετε καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποθάνητε. καὶ μὴ ἀκούετε Ἐζεκίου, ὅτι ἀπατᾷ ὑμᾶς λέγων· Κύριος ρήσεται ὑμᾶς.
32until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”
33μὴ ρυόμενοι ἐρρύσαντο οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χώραν ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων;
33Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
34ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς Αἰμὰθ καὶ Ἀρφάδ; ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς Σεπφαουραΐμ, Ἀνὰ καὶ Ἀβά, ὅτι ἐξείλαντο Σαμάρειαν ἐκ χειρός μου;
34Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
35τίς ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς θεοῖς τῶν γαιῶν, οἳ ἐξείλαντο τὰς γᾶς αὐτῶν ἐκ χειρός μου, ὅτι ἐξελεῖται Κύριος τὴν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐκ χειρός μου;
35Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
36καὶ ἐκώφευσαν καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ λόγον, ὅτι ἐντολὴ τοῦ βασιλέως λέγων· οὐκ ἀποκριθήσεσθε αὐτῷ.
36But the people stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
37καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ἑλιακὶμ υἱὸς Χελκίου ὁ οἰκονόμος καὶ Σωμνὰς ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ Ἰωὰς υἱὸς Σαφὰτ ὁ ἀναμιμνήσκων πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, διερρηχότες τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτῷ τοὺς λόγους Ραψάκου.
37Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.
