1Et factum est in quartodecimo anno regis Ezechiæ, ascendit Sennacherib, rex Assyriorum, super omnes civitates Juda munitas, et cepit eas.
And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, that Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against all the fenced cities of Juda, and took them.
Et facto es in quartadecima anno de rege de Ezechiase, ascende Sennachere, rege de Assyriis, super omni civitates Iuda munie, et cape illas.
2Et misit rex Assyriorum Rabsacen de Lachis in Jerusalem, ad regem Ezechiam in manu gravi: et stetit in aquæductu piscinæ superioris in via Agri fullonis.
And the king of the Assyrians sent Rabsaces from Lachis to Jerusalem, to king Ezechias with a great army, and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fuller's field.
Et rege de Assyriis mitte Rabsace de Lachis in Ierusalem, ad rege Ezechiase in manu gravi: et sta in aquaeductu de piscina superiori in via de Agro fullone.
3Et egressus est ad eum Eliacim, filius Helciæ, qui erat super domum, et Sobna scriba, et Joahe filius Asaph, a commentariis.
And there went out to him Eliacim the son of Helcias, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.
Et egredior es ad illo Eliacime, filio Helcia, qui es super domo, et Sobna scriba, et Ioahe filio Asaph, ab commentarios.
4Et dixit ad eos Rabsaces: Dicite Ezechiæ: Hæc dicit rex magnus, rex Assyriorum: Quæ est ista fiducia qua confidis?
And Rabsaces said to them: Tell Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence wherein thou trustest?
Et Rabsace ad illos dic: dic de Ezechiase: hoc dic rege magna, rege de Assyriis: que es isto fiducia quo confide?
5aut quo consilio vel fortitudine rebellare disponis? super quem habes fiduciam, quia recessisti a me?
Or with what counsel or strength dost thou prepare for war? on whom dost thou trust, that thou art revolted from me?
Aut quo consilio vel fortitudine rebella dispone? Super quem habe fiducia, quia recede ab me?
6Ecce confidis super baculum arundineum confractum istum, super Ægyptum; cui si innixus fuerit homo, intrabit in manum ejus, et perforabit eam: sic Pharao, rex Ægypti, omnibus qui confidunt in eo.
Lo thou trustest upon this broken staff of a reed, upon Egypt: upon which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharao king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
Ecce confide super baculo arundineo confringe isto, super Aegypto; ad que si inniga es homine, intra in manu de illo, et perfora illa: sic Pharao, rege de Aegypto, ad omni qui confide in eo.
7Quod si responderis mihi: In Domino Deo nostro confidimus; nonne ipse est cujus abstulit Ezechias excelsa et altaria, et dixit Judæ et Jerusalem: Coram altari isto adorabitis?
But if thou wilt answer me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away, and hath said to Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar?
Quod si responde ad me: in Domino Deo nostro confide; nonne ipso es de que aufer Ezechiase excelso et altarios, et dic de Iudase et Ierusalem: coram altari isto adora?
8Et nunc trade te domino meo, regi Assyriorum, et dabo tibi duo millia equorum, nec poteris ex te præbere ascensores eorum:
And now deliver thyself up to my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give thee two thousand horses, and thou wilt not be able on thy part to find riders for them.
Et nunc trade te ad domino meo, ad rege de Assyriis, et da ad te duo mile de equos, nec pote ex te praebe ascensores de illos:
9et quomodo sustinebis faciem judicis unius loci ex servis domini mei minoribus? Quod si confidis in Ægypto, in quadrigis et in equitibus,
And how wilt thou stand against the face of the judge of one place, of the least of my master's servants? But if thou trust in Egypt, in chariots and in horsemen:
Et quomodo sustine facie de iudice de uno de loco ex servos de domino meo minimo? Quod si confide in Aegypto, in quadrices et in equites,
10et nunc numquid sine Domino ascendi ad terram istam, ut disperderem eam? Dominus dixit ad me: Ascende super terram istam, et disperde eam.
And am I now come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it? The Lord said to me: Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Et nunc numquid sine Domino ascende ad terra isto, ut disperde illa? Domino dic ad me: ascende super terra isto, et disperde illa.
11Et dixit Eliacim, et Sobna, et Joahe, ad Rabsacen: Loquere ad servos tuos syra lingua; intelligimus enim; ne loquaris ad nos judaice in auribus populi qui est super murum.
And Eliacim, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: Speak to thy servants in the Syrian tongue: for we understand it: speak not to us in the Jews' language in the hearing of the people, that are upon the wall.
Et dic Eliacime, et Sobna, et Ioahe, ad Rabsace: loque ad servos tuo syra lingua; intellege nam; ne loque ad nos iudaice in aures de populo qui es super muro.
12Et dixit ad eos Rabsaces: Numquid ad dominum tuum et ad te misit me dominus meus, ut loquerer omnia verba ista? et non potius ad viros qui sedent in muro, ut comedant stercora sua, et bibant urinam pedum suorum vobiscum?
And Rabsaces said to them: Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee, to speak all these words; and not rather to the men that sit on the wall; that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine with you?
Et Rabsace ad illos dic: numquid ad domino tuo et ad te domino meo mitte me, ut loque omni verbos isto? Et non potius ad viros qui sede in muro, ut comede stercores suo, et bibe urina de pedes suo vobisca?
13Et stetit Rabsaces, et clamavit voce magna judaice, et dixit: Audite verba regis magni, regis Assyriorum!
Then Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
Et Rabsace sta, et clama voce magna iudaice, et dic: audi verbos de rege magna, de rege de Assyriis!
14Hæc dicit rex: Non seducat vos Ezechias, quia non poterit eruere vos.
Thus saith the king: Let not Ezechias deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you.
Rege dic hoc: non Ezechiase seduce vos, quia non pote erue vos.
15Et non vobis tribuat fiduciam Ezechias super Domino, dicens: Eruens liberabit nos Dominus: non dabitur civitas ista in manu regis Assyriorum.
And let not Ezechias make you trust in the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
Et non ad vos Ezechiase tribue fiducia super Domino, dicente: eruente Domino libera nos: non civitate isto da in manu de rege de Assyriis.
16Nolite audire Ezechiam; hæc enim dicit rex Assyriorum: Facite mecum benedictionem, et egredimini ad me, et comedite unusquisque vineam suam, et unusquisque ficum suam, et bibite unusquisque aquam cisternæ suæ,
Do not hearken to Ezechias: for thus said the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, and come out to me, and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the water of his cistern,
Ne vol audire Ezechiase; rege nam de Assyriis dic hoc: fac meco benedictione, et egredior ad me, et comede et unusquis vinea suo, et et unusquis ficu suo, et bibe et unusquis aqua de cisterna suo,
17donec veniam, et tollam vos ad terram quæ est ut terra vestra, terram frumenti et vini, terram panum et vinearum.
Till I come and take you away to a land, like to your own, a land of corn and of wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
Usque que veni, et tolle vos ad terra que es ut terra vestro, terra de frumento et de vino, terra de panes et de vineas.
18Nec conturbet vos Ezechias, dicens: Dominus liberabit nos. Numquid liberaverunt dii gentium unusquisque terram suam de manu regis Assyriorum?
Neither let Ezechias trouble you, saying: The Lord will deliver us. Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
Nec Ezechiase conturba vos, dicente: domino libera nos. Numquid deos de gentes libera et unusquis terra suo de manu de rege de Assyriis?
19Ubi est deus Emath et Arphad? ubi est deus Sepharvaim? numquid liberaverunt Samariam de manu mea?
Where is the god of Emath and of Arphad? where is the god of Sepharvaim? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Ubi es deo Emath et Arphade? Ubi es deo Sepharvaime? Numquid libera Samaria de manu meo?
20Quis est ex omnibus diis terrarum istarum qui eruerit terram suam de manu mea, ut eruat Dominus Jerusalem de manu mea?
Who is there among all the gods of these lands, that hath delivered his country out of my hand, that the Lord may deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Qui es ex omni dies de terras isto qui erue terra suo de manu meo, ut Domino erue Ierusalem de manu meo?
21Et siluerunt, et non responderunt ei verbum. Mandaverat enim rex, dicens: Ne respondeatis ei.
And they held their peace, and answered him not a word. For the king had commanded, saying: Answer him not.
Et sile, et non responde ad illo verbo. Rege nam manda, dicente: ne responde ad illo.
22Et ingressus est Eliacim, filius Helciæ, qui erat super domum, et Sobna scriba, et Joahe filius Asaph, a commentariis, ad Ezechiam, scissis vestibus, et nuntiaverunt ei verba Rabsacis.
And Eliacim the son of Helcias, that was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder, went in to Ezechias with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rabsaces.
Et ingredior es Eliacime, filio Helcia, qui es super domo, et Sobna scriba, et Ioahe filio Asaph, ab commentarios, ad Ezechiase, scinde vestes, et ad Rabsacas ad illo nuntia verbos.
