World English Bible
1Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν βασιλέα Ἐζεκίαν, ἔσχισε τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
1When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
2Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἑλιακεὶμ τὸν οἰκονόμον, καὶ Σόμνᾶν τὸν γραμματέα, καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῶν ἱερέων περιβεβλημένους σάκκους, πρὸς Ἠσαΐαν υἱὸν Ἀμὼς τὸν προφήτην.
2He 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.
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.
3They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth.
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.
4It may be the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
5Καὶ ἦλθον οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως Ἐζεκίου πρὸς Ἡσαΐαν.
5So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
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.
6Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐμβάλλω εἰς αὐτὸν πνεῦμα, καὶ ἀκούσας ἀγγελίαν, ἀποστραφήσεται εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεσεῖται μαχαίρᾳ ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ.
7Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
8Καὶ ἀπέστρεψε Ῥαβσάκης, καὶ κατέλαβε τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων πολιορκοῦντα Λοβνάν· καὶ ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἀπῇρεν ἀπὸ Λαχίς.
8So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Θαρακὰ βασιλεὺς Αἰθιόπων πολιορκῆσαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἀκούσας ἀπέστρεψε, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, λέγων,
9He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
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.
10“Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
11Σὺ οὐκ ἤκουσας ἃ ἐποίησαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων, πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ὡς ἀπώλεσαν; καὶ σὺ ῥυσθήσῃ;
11Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
12Μὴ ἐῤῥύσαντο αὐτοὺς οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὓς ἀπώλεσαν οἱ πατέρες μου, τήν τε Γωζᾶν, καὶ Χαῤῥὰν, καὶ Ῥαφὲθ, αἵ εἰσιν ἐν χώρᾳ Θεεμάθ;
12Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
13Ποῦ εἰσι βασιλεῖς Ἐμάθ; καὶ ποῦ Ἀρφάθ; καὶ ποῦ πόλεως Ἐπφαρουαὶμ, Ἀναγονγάυα;
13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
14Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἐζεκίας τὸ βιβλίον παρὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων, καὶ ἀνέγνω αὐτὸ, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ ἤνοιξεν αὐτὸ ἐναντίον Κυρίου.
14Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD’s house, and spread it before the LORD.
15Καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας πρὸς Κύριον, λέγων,
15Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
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·
16“LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
17Κλῖνον Κύριε τὸ οὖς σου, εἰσάκουσον Κύριε, ἄνοιξον Κύριε τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, εἴσβλεψον Κύριε, καὶ ἴδε τοὺς λόγους Σενναχηρεὶμ, οὓς ἀπέστειλεν ὀνειδίζειν Θεὸν ζῶντα.
17Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
18Ἐπʼ ἀληθείας γὰρ Κύριε ἠρήμωσαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅλην, καὶ τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν,
18Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
19καὶ ἀνέβαλον τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πῦρ· οὐ γὰρ θεοὶ ἦσαν, ἀλλὰ ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων, ξύλα καὶ λίθοι· καὶ ἀπώσαντο αὐτούς.
19and 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.
20Νῦν δὲ Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν σῶσον ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα γνῷ πᾶσα βασιλεία τῆς γῆς, ὅτι σῦ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς μόνος.
20Now therefore, 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.”
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.
21Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22Οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησε περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ Θεὸς, ἐφαύλισέ σε, καὶ ἐμυκτήρισέ σε παρθένος θυγάτηρ Σιὼν, ἐπὶ σοὶ κεφαλὴν ἐκίνησε θυγάτηρ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
22this is the word which the LORD has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23Τίνα ὠνείδισας καὶ παρώξυνας; ἢ πρὸς τίνα ὕψωσας τὴν φωνήν σου; καὶ οὐκ ᾖρας εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου πρὸς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ;
23Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
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,
24By your servants, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
25καὶ ἔθηκα γέφυραν, καὶ ἠρήμωσα ὕδατα καὶ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν ὕδατος.
25I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
26Οὐ ταῦτα ἤκουσας πάλαὶ ἃ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα; ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων συνέταξα, νῦν δὲ ἐπέδειξα ἐξερημῶσαι ἔθνη ἐν ὀχυροῖς, καὶ οἰκοῦντας ἐν πόλεσιν ὀχυραῖς.
26“‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
27Ἀνῆκα τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν, καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς χόρτος ξηρὸς ἐπὶ δωμάτων, καὶ ὡς ἄγρωστις.
27Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
28Νῦν δὲ τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου, καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου, καὶ τὴν εἴσοδόν σου ἐγὼ ἐπίσταμαι.
28But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
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.
29Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will 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.
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.
30“‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31Καὶ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελιμμένοι ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, φυήσουσι ῥίζαν κάτω, καὶ ποιήσουσι σπέρμα ἄνω·
31The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32Ὅτι ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελειμμένοι, καὶ οἱ σωζόμενοι ἐξ ὄρους Σιών· ὁ ζῆλος Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ποιήσει ταῦτα.
32For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.’
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·
33“Therefore the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
34Ἀλλὰ τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθεν, ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποστραφήσεται, καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος.
34He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.
35Ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης τοῦ σῶσαι αὐτὴν διʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν παῖδά μου.
35‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
36Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἄγγελος Κυρίου, καὶ ἀνεῖλεν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς τῶν Ἀσσυρίων ἑκατὸν ὀγδοηκονταπέντε χιλιάδας· καὶ ἀναστάντες τοπρωῒ, εὗρον πάντα τὰ σώματα νεκρά.
36Then the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37Καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἀποστραφεὶς Σενναχηρεὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν Νινευῇ.
37So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
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.
38As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
