1And when king Ezechias heard these words, he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.Quae cum audisset Ezechias rex, scidit vestimenta sua, et opertus est sacco, ingressusque est domum Domini.Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἤκουσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἐζεκίας, καὶ διέῤῥηξε τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου.
2And he sent Eliacim, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and the ancients of the priests covered with sackcloths, to Isaias the prophet the son of Amos,Et misit Eliacim praepositum domus, et Sobnam scribam, et senes de sacerdotibus, opertos saccis, ad Isaiam prophetam filium Amos.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἑλιακὶμ τὸν οἰκονόμον, καὶ Σωμνὰν τὸν γραμματέα, καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῶν ἱερέων περιβεβλημένους σάκκους, πρὸς Ἡσαΐαν τὸν προφήτην υἱὸν Ἀμώς.
3And they said to him: Thus saith Ezechias: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: the children are come to the birth, and the woman in travail hath not strength.Qui dixerunt: Haec dicit Ezechias: Dies tribulationis, et increpationis, et blasphemiae dies iste: venerunt filii usque ad partum, et vires non habet parturiens.Καὶ εἶπον πρὸς αὐτὸν, τάδε λέγει Ἐζεκίας, ἡμέρα θλίψεως καὶ ἐλεγμοῦ καὶ παροργισμοῦ ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη· ὅτι ἦλθον υἱοὶ ἕως ὠδίνων, καὶ ἰσχὺς οὐκ ἔστι τῇ τικτούσῃ.
4It may be the Lord thy God will hear all the words of Rabsaces, whom the king of the Assyrians his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and to reprove with words, which the Lord thy God hath heard: and do thou offer prayer for the remnants that are found.Si forte audiat Dominus Deus tuus universa verba Rabsacis, quem misit rex Assyriorum dominus suus ut exprobraret Deum viventem et argueret verbis, quae audivit Dominus Deus tuus: et fac orationem pro reliquiis quae repertae sunt.Εἴ πως εἰσακούσεται Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου πάντας τοὺς λόγους Ῥαψάκου, ὃν ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ὁ κύριος αὐτοῦ ὀνειδίζειν Θεὸν ζῶντα, καὶ βλασφημεῖν ἐν λόγοις οἷς ἤκουσε Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου, καὶ λήψῃ προσευχὴν περὶ τοῦ λείμματος τοῦ εὑρισκομένου.
5So the servants of king Ezechias came to Isaias.Venerunt ergo servi regis Ezechiae ad Isaiam.Καὶ 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 for the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.Dixitque eis Isaias: Haec dicetis domino vestro: Haec dicit Dominus: Noli timere a facie sermonum quos audisti, quibus blasphemaverunt pueri regis Assyriorum me.Καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἡσαΐας, Τάδε ἐρεῖτε πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν, τάδε λέγει Κύριος, μὴ φοβηθῇς ἀπὸ τῶν λόγων ὧν ἤκουσας, ὧν ἐβλασφήμησαν τὰ παιδάρια βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.
7Behold I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a message, and shall return into his own country, and I will make him fall by the sword in his own country.Ecce ego immittam ei spiritum, et audiet nuntium, et revertetur in terram suam, et deiiciam eum gladio in terra sua.Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δίδωμι ἐν αὐτῷ πνεῦμα, καὶ ἀκούσεται ἀγγελίαν, καὶ ἀποστραφήσεται εἰς τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ· καὶ καταβαλῶ αὐτὸν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ 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.Reversus est ergo Rabsaces, et invenit regem Assyriorum expugnantem Lobnam: audierat enim quod recessisset de Lachis.Καὶ ἐπέστρεψε Ῥαψάκης, καὶ εὗρε τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων πολεμοῦντα ἐπὶ Λοβνὰ, ὅτι ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἀπῇρεν ἐκ Λαχίς.
9And when he heard of Theraca king of Ethiopia: Behold, he is come out to fight with thee: and was going against him, he sent messengers to Ezechias, saying:Cumque audisset de Tharaca rege Aethiopiae, dicentes: Ecce egressus est ut pugnet adversum te: et iret contra eum, misit nuntios ad Ezechiam, dicens:Καὶ ἤκουσε περὶ Θαρακὰ βασιλέως Αἰθιόπων, λέγων, ἰδοὺ ἐξῆλθε πολεμεῖν μετὰ σοῦ· καὶ ἐπέστρεψε, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, λέγων,
10Thus shall you say to Ezechias king of Juda: Let not thy God deceive thee, in whom thou trustest: and do not say: Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.Haec dicite Ezechiae regi Iuda: Non te seducat Deus tuus in quo habes fiduciam, neque dicas: Non tradetur Ierusalem in manus regis Assyriorum.μὴ ἐπαιρέτω σε ὁ Θεός σου ἐφʼ ᾧ σὺ πέποιθας ἐν αὐτῷ, λέγων, οὐ μὴ παραδοθῇ Ἱερουσαλὴμ εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.
11Behold thou hast heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all countries, how they have laid them waste: and canst thou alone be delivered?Tu enim ipse audisti quae fecerunt reges Assyriorum universis terris, quomodo vastaverunt eas: num ergo solus poteris liberari?Ἰδοὺ σὺ ἤκουσας πάντα ὅσα ἐποίησαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων πάσαις ταῖς γαίαις τοῦ ἀναθεματίσαι αὐτάς· καὶ σὺ ῥυσθήσῃ;
12Have the gods of the nations delivered any of them, whom my fathers have destroyed, to wit, Gozan, and Haran, and Reseph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?Numquid liberaverunt dii gentium singulos quos vastaverunt patres mei, Gozan videlicet, et Haran, et Reseph, et filios Eden qui erant in Thelassar?Μὴ ἐξαιρούμενοι ἐξείλαντο αὐτοὺς οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὓς διέφθειραν οἱ πατρές μου, τήν τε Γωζὰν, καὶ τὴν Χαῤῥὰν, καὶ τὴν Ῥαφὶς, καὶ υἱοὺς Ἐδὲμ τοὺς ἐν Θαεσθέν;
13Where is the king of Emath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Ana and of Ava?ubi est rex Emath, et rex Arphad, et rex civitatis Sepharvaim, Ana, et Ava?Ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ βασιλεὺς Αἱμὰθ, καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀρφάδ; καὶ ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῆς πόλεως Σεπφαρουαῒν, Ἀνὰ, καὶ Ἀβά;
14And when Ezechias had received the letter of the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he went up to the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord,Itaque cum accepisset Ezechias litteras de manu nuntiorum, et legisset eas, ascendit in domum Domini, et expandit eas coram Domino,Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἐζεκίας τὰ βιβλία ἐκ χειρὸς τῶν ἀγγέλων, καὶ ἀνέγνω αὐτά· καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ ἀνέπτυξεν αὐτὰ Ἐζεκίας ἐναντίον Κυρίου,
15And he prayed in his sight, saying: O Lord God of Israel, who sitteth upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kings of the earth: thou madest heaven and earth:et oravit in conspectu eius, dicens: Domine Deus Israël, qui sedes super cherubim, tu es Deus solus regum omnium terrae: tu fecisti caelum et terram.καὶ εἶπε, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τῶν χερουβὶμ, σὺ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς μόνος ἐν πάσαις ταῖς βασιλείαις τῆς γῆς, σὺ ἐποίησας τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν.
16Incline thy ear, and hear: open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to upbraid unto us the living God.Inclina aurem tuam, et audi: aperi, Domine, oculos tuos, et vide: audi omnia verba Sennacherib, qui misit ut exprobraret nobis Deum viventem.Κλῖνον Κύριε τὸ οὖς σου καὶ ἄκουσον, ἄνοιξον Κύριε τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου καὶ ἴδε, καὶ ἄκουσον τοὺς λόγους Σενναχηρὶμ οὓς ἀπέστειλεν ὀνειδίζειν Θεὸν ζῶντα.
17Of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have destroyed nations, and the lands of them all.Vere, Domine, dissipaverunt reges Assyriorum gentes, et terras omnium.Ὅτι ἀληθείᾳ Κύριε ἠρήμωσαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων τὰ ἔθνη,
18And they have cast their gods into the fire: for they were not Rods, but the works of men’s hands of wood and stone, and they destroyed them.Et miserunt deos eorum in ignem: non enim erant dii, sed opera manuum hominum, ex ligno et lapide: et perdiderunt eos.καὶ ἔδωκαν τοὺς θεοὺς αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πῦρ, ὅτι οὐ θεοί εἰσιν, ἀλλʼ ἢ ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων ξύλα καὶ λίθος· καὶ ἀπώλεσαν αὐτούς.
19Now therefore, O Lord our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that thou art the Lord the only God.Nunc igitur Domine Deus noster, salvos nos fac de manu eius, ut sciant omnia regna terrae quia tu es Dominus Deus solus.Καὶ νῦν, Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν, σῶσον ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ γνώσονται πᾶσαι αἱ βασιλεῖαι τῆς γῆς, ὅτι σὺ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς μόνος.
20And Isaias the son of Amos sent to Ezechias, saying: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: I have heard the prayer thou hast made to me concerning Sennacherib king of the Assyrians.Misit autem Isaias filius Amos ad Ezechiam, dicens: Haec dicit Dominus Deus Israël: Quae deprecatus es me super Sennacherib rege Assyriorum, audivi.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἡσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, λέγων, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς τῶν δυνάμεων Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἃ προσηύξω πρὸς μὲ περὶ Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων, ἤκουσα.
21This is the word, that 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 her head behind thy back.Iste est sermo, quem locutus est Dominus de eo: Sprevit te, et subsannavit te, virgo filia Sion: post tergum tuum caput movit, filia Ierusalem.Οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐπʼ αὐτὸν, ἐξουδένησέ σε καὶ ἐμυκτήρισέ σε παρθένος θυγάτηρ Σιὼν, ἐπὶ σοὶ κεφαλὴν αὐτῆς ἐκίνησε θυγάτηρ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
22Whom hast thou reproached, and whom hast thou blasphemed? against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? against the holy one of Israel.Cui exprobrasti, et quem blasphemasti? contra quem exaltasti vocem tuam, et elevasti in excelsum oculos tuos? Contra Sanctum Israël.Τίνα ὠνείδισας, καὶ τίνα ἐβλασφήμησας; καὶ ἐπὶ τίνα ὕψωσας φωνὴν, καὶ ἦρας εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου; εἰς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ;
23By 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 have cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees. And I have entered into the furthest parts thereof, and the forest of its Carmel.Per manum servorum tuorum exprobrasti Domino, et dixisti: In multitudine curruum meorum ascendi excelsa montium in summitate Libani, et succidi sublimes cedros eius, et electas abietes illius. Et ingressus sum usque ad terminos eius, et saltum Carmeli eiusἘν χειρὶ ἀγγέλων σου ὠνείδισας Κύριον, καὶ εἶπας, ἐν τῷ πλήθει τῶν ἁρμάτων μου ἐγὼ ἀναβήσομαι εἰς ὕψος ὀρέων μηροὺς τοῦ Λιβάνου, καὶ ἔκοψα τὸ μέγεθος τῆς κέδρου αὐτοῦ, τὰ ἐκλεκτὰ κυπαρίσσων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς μέσον δρυμοῦ καὶ Καρμήλου.
24I have cut down, and I have drunk strange waters, and have dried up with the soles of my feet all the shut up waters.ego succidi. Et bibi aquas alienas, et siccavi vestigiis pedum meorum omnes aquas clausas.Ἐγὼ ἔψυξα καὶ ἔπιον ὕδατα ἀλλότρια, καὶ ἐξερήμωσα τῷ ἴχνει τοῦ ποδός μου πάντας ποταμοὺς περιοχῆς.
25Hast thou not heard what I have done from the beginning? from the days of old I have formed it, and now I have brought it to effect: that fenced cities of fighting men should be turned to heaps of ruin:Numquid non audisti quid ab initio fecerim? ex diebus antiquis plasmavi illud, et nunc adduxi: eruntque in ruinam collium pugnantium civitates munitae.Ἔπλασα αὐτὴν, συνήγαγον αὐτήν· καὶ ἐγενήθη εἰς ἐπάρσεις ἀποικεσιῶν μαχίμων πόλεις ὀχυράς.
26And the inhabitants of them, were weak of hand, they trembled and were confounded, they became like the grass of the field, and the green herb on the tops of houses, which withered before it came to maturity.Et qui sedent in eis, humiles manu, contremuerunt et confusi sunt: facti sunt velut foenum agri, et virens herba tectorum, quae arefacta est antequam veniret ad maturitatem.Καὶ οἱ ἐνοικοῦντες ἐν αὐταῖς ἠσθένησαν τῇ χειρὶ, ἔπτηξαν καὶ κατῃσχύνθησαν· ἐγένοντο χόρτος ἀγροῦ, ἢ χλωρὰ βοτάνη, χλόη δωμάτων, καὶ πάτημα ἀπέναντι ἑστηκότος.
27Thy dwelling and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy way I knew before, and thy rage against me.Habitaculum tuum, et egressum tuum, et introitum tuum, et viam tuam ego praescivi, et furorem tuum contra me.Καὶ τὴν καθέδραν σου καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου ἔγνων, καὶ τὸν θυμόν σου ἐπʼ ἐμὲ,
28Thou hast been mad against me, and thy pride hath come 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.Insanisti in me, et superbia tua ascendit in aures meas: ponam itaque circulum in naribus tuis, et camum in labiis tuis, et reducam te in viam per quam venisti.διὰ τὸ ὀργισθῆναί σε ἐπʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ τὸ στρῆνός σου ἀνέβη ἐν τοῖς ὠσί μου· καὶ θήσω τὰ ἄγκιστρά μου ἐν τοῖς μυκτῆρσί σου, καὶ χαλινὸν ἐν τοῖς χείλεσί σου, καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθες ἐν αὐτῇ.
29And to thee, O Ezechias, this shall be a sign: Eat this year what thou shalt find: and in the second year, such things as spring of themselves: but in the third year sow and reap: plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.Tibi autem, Ezechia, hoc erit signum: comede hoc anno quae repereris: in secundo autem anno, quae sponte nascuntur: porro in tertio anno seminate et metite: plantate vineas, et comedite fructum earum.Καὶ τοῦτό σοι τὸ σημεῖον· φάγε τοῦτον τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν αὐτόματα, καὶ τῷ ἔτει τῷ δευτέρῳ τὰ ἀνατέλλοντα, καὶ ἔτει τρίτῳ σπορὰ καὶ ἀμητὸς καὶ φυτεία ἀμπελώνων, καὶ φάγεσθε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν.
30And whatsoever shall be left of the house of Juda, shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward.Et quodcumque reliquum fuerit de domo Iuda, mittet radicem deorsum, et faciet fructum sursum.Καὶ προσθήσει τὸν διασεσωσμένον οἴκου Ἰούδα τὸ ὑπολειφθὲν ῥίζαν κάτω, καὶ ποιήσει καρπὸν ἄνω.
31For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and that which shall be saved out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.De Ierusalem quippe egredientur reliquiae, et quod salvetur de monte Sion: zelus Domini exercituum faciet hoc.Ὅτι ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἐξελεύσεται κατάλειμμα, καὶ ἀνασωζόμενος ἐξ ὄρους Σιών· ὁ ζῆλος Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων ποιήσει τοῦτο.
32Wherefore 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.Quam ob rem haec dicit Dominus de rege Assyriorum: Non ingredietur urbem hanc, nec mittet in eam sagittam, nec occupabit eam clypeus, nec circumdabit eam munitio.Οὐχ οὕτως; Τάδε λέγει Κύριος πρὸς βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων, οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην, καὶ οὐ τοξεύσει ἐκεῖ βέλος, καὶ οὐ προφθάσει ἐπʼ αὐτὴν θυρεὸς, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκχέῃ πρὸς αὐτὴν πρόσχωμα.
33By the way that he came, he shall return: and into this city he shall not come, saith the Lord.Per viam qua venit, revertetur: et civitatem hanc non ingredietur, dicit Dominus.Τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθεν, ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποστραφήσεται, καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται, λέγει Κύριος.
34And I will protect this city, and will save it for my own sake, and for David my servant’s sake.Protegamque urbem hanc, et salvabo eam propter me, et propter David servum meum.Καὶ ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης διʼ ἐμὲ καὶ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου.
35And it came to pass that night, that an angel of the Lord came, and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he arose early in the morning, he saw all the bodies of the dead.Factum est igitur in nocte illa, venit angelus Domini, et percussit in castris Assyriorum centum octoginta quinque millia. Cumque diluculo surrexisset, vidit omnia corpora mortuorum: et recedens abiit,Καὶ ἐγένετο νυκτὸς, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἄγγελος Κυρίου καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν Ἀσσυρίων ἑκατὸν ὀγδοηκονταπέντε χιλιάδας· καὶ ὤρθρισαν τοπρωῒ, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάντες σώματα νεκρά.
36And Sennacherib king of the Assyrians departing went away, and he returned and abode in Ninive.et reversus est Sennacherib rex Assyriorum, et mansit in Ninive.Καὶ ἀπῇρε καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἀπέστρεψε Σενναχηρὶμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων, καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν Νινευῆ.
37And as he was worshipping in the temple of Nesroch his god, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons slew him with the sword, and they fled into the land of the Armenians, and Asarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.Cumque adoraret in templo Nesroch deum suum, Adramelech et Sarasar filii eius percusserunt eum gladio, fugeruntque in terram Armeniorum: et regnavit Asarhaddon filius eius pro eo.Καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ προσκυνοῦντος ἐν οἴκῳ Μεσερὰχ τοῦ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἀδραμέλεχ καὶ Σαρασὰρ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ· καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐσώθησαν εἰς γῆν Ἀραράθ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ἀσορδὰν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντʼ αὐτοῦ.

Jesus laments over Jerusalem, which kills the prophets

The same day, there came some of the Pharisees, saying to him: Depart, and get thee hence, for Herod hath a mind to kill thee. And he said to them: Go and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and do cures today and…
