LXX	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 και μετα τους λογους τουτους και την αληθειαν ταυτην ηλθεν σενναχηριμ βασιλευς ασσυριων και ηλθεν επι ιουδαν και παρενεβαλεν επι τας πολεις τας τειχηρεις και ειπεν προκαταλαβεσθαι αυτας	1 After these things, and this truth, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came and entered into Juda, and besieged the fenced cities, desiring to take them.
2 και ειδεν εζεκιας οτι ηκει σενναχηριμ και το προσωπον αυτου του πολεμησαι επι ιερουσαλημ	2 And when Ezechias saw that Sennacherib was come, and that the whole force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,
3 και εβουλευσατο μετα των πρεσβυτερων αυτου και των δυνατων εμφραξαι τα υδατα των πηγων α ην εξω της πολεως και συνεπισχυσαν αυτω	3 He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind,
4 και συνηγαγεν λαον πολυν και ενεφραξεν τα υδατα των πηγων και τον ποταμον τον διοριζοντα δια της πολεως λεγων μη ελθη βασιλευς ασσουρ και ευρη υδωρ πολυ και κατισχυση	4 He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and And abundance of water.
5 και κατισχυσεν εζεκιας και ωκοδομησεν παν το τειχος το κατεσκαμμενον και πυργους και εξω προτειχισμα αλλο και κατισχυσεν το αναλημμα πολεως δαυιδ και κατεσκευασεν οπλα πολλα	5 He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields:
6 και εθετο αρχοντας του πολεμου επι τον λαον και συνηχθησαν προς αυτον εις την πλατειαν της πυλης της φαραγγος και ελαλησεν επι καρδιαν αυτων λεγων	6 And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying:
7 ισχυσατε και ανδριζεσθε μη πτοηθητε απο προσωπου βασιλεως ασσουρ και απο προσωπου παντος του εθνους του μετ' αυτου οτι μεθ' ημων πλειονες η μετ' αυτου	7 Behave like men, and take courage: be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of the Assyrians, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are many more with us than with him.
8 μετ' αυτου βραχιονες σαρκινοι μεθ' ημων δε κυριος ο θεος ημων του σωζειν και του πολεμειν τον πολεμον ημων και κατεθαρσησεν ο λαος επι τοις λογοις εζεκιου βασιλεως ιουδα	8 For with him is an arm of flesh: with us the Lord our God, who is our helper, and fighteth for us. And the people were encouraged with these words of Ezechias king of Juda.
9 και μετα ταυτα απεστειλεν σενναχηριμ βασιλευς ασσυριων τους παιδας αυτου επι ιερουσαλημ και αυτος επι λαχις και πασα η στρατια μετ' αυτου και απεστειλεν προς εζεκιαν βασιλεα ιουδα και προς παντα ιουδαν τον εν ιερουσαλημ λεγων	9 After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis,) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying:
10 ουτως λεγει σενναχηριμ ο βασιλευς ασσυριων επι τινι υμεις πεποιθατε και καθησθε εν τη περιοχη εν ιερουσαλημ	10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem?
11 ουχι εζεκιας απατα υμας του παραδουναι υμας εις θανατον και εις λιμον και εις διψαν λεγων κυριος ο θεος ημων σωσει ημας εκ χειρος βασιλεως ασσουρ	11 Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
12 ουχ ουτος εστιν εζεκιας ος περιειλεν τα θυσιαστηρια αυτου και τα υψηλα αυτου και ειπεν τω ιουδα και τοις κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ λεγων κατεναντι του θυσιαστηριου τουτου προσκυνησετε και επ' αυτω θυμιασετε	12 Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense?
13 ου γνωσεσθε ο τι εποιησα εγω και οι πατερες μου πασι τοις λαοις των χωρων μη δυναμενοι ηδυναντο θεοι των εθνων πασης της γης σωσαι τον λαον αυτων εκ χειρος μου	13 Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been able to deliver their country out of my hand?
14 τις εν πασι τοις θεοις των εθνων τουτων ους εξωλεθρευσαν οι πατερες μου μη ηδυναντο σωσαι τον λαον αυτων εκ χειρος μου οτι δυνησεται ο θεος υμων σωσαι υμας εκ χειρος μου	14 Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this hand?
15 νυν μη απατατω υμας εζεκιας και μη πεποιθεναι υμας ποιειτω κατα ταυτα και μη πιστευετε αυτω οτι ου μη δυνηται ο θεος παντος εθνους και βασιλειας του σωσαι τον λαον αυτου εκ χειρος μου και εκ χειρος πατερων μου οτι ο θεος υμων ου μη σωσει υμας εκ χειρος μου	15 Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you out of my hand.
16 και ετι ελαλησαν οι παιδες αυτου επι κυριον θεον και επι εζεκιαν παιδα αυτου	16 And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant.
17 και βιβλιον εγραψεν ονειδιζειν τον κυριον θεον ισραηλ και ειπεν περι αυτου λεγων ως θεοι των εθνων της γης ουκ εξειλαντο τους λαους αυτων εκ χειρος μου ουτως ου μη εξεληται ο θεος εζεκιου λαον αυτου εκ χειρος μου	17 He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand.
18 και εβοησεν φωνη μεγαλη ιουδαιστι επι λαον ιερουσαλημ τον επι του τειχους του φοβησαι αυτους και κατασπασαι οπως προκαταλαβωνται την πολιν	18 Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews' tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city.
19 και ελαλησεν επι θεον ιερουσαλημ ως και επι θεους λαων της γης εργα χειρων ανθρωπων	19 And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
20 και προσηυξατο εζεκιας ο βασιλευς και ησαιας υιος αμως ο προφητης περι τουτων και εβοησαν εις τον ουρανον	20 And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven.
21 και απεστειλεν κυριος αγγελον και εξετριψεν παν δυνατον πολεμιστην και αρχοντα και στρατηγον εν τη παρεμβολη βασιλεως ασσουρ και απεστρεψεν μετα αισχυνης προσωπου εις την γην αυτου και ηλθεν εις οικον του θεου αυτου και των εξελθοντων εκ κοιλιας αυτου κατεβαλον αυτον εν ρομφαια	21 And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him with the sword.
22 και εσωσεν κυριος εζεκιαν και τους κατοικουντας εν ιερουσαλημ εκ χειρος σενναχηριμ βασιλεως ασσουρ και εκ χειρος παντων και κατεπαυσεν αυτους κυκλοθεν	22 And the Lord saved Ezechias and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of the hand of Sennacherib king of the Assyrians, and out of the hand of all, and gave them treasures on every side.
23 και πολλοι εφερον δωρα τω κυριω εις ιερουσαλημ και δοματα τω εζεκια βασιλει ιουδα και υπερηρθη κατ' οφθαλμους παντων των εθνων μετα ταυτα	23 Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all nations.
24 εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις ηρρωστησεν εζεκιας εως θανατου και προσηυξατο προς κυριον και επηκουσεν αυτου και σημειον εδωκεν αυτω	24 In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign.
25 και ου κατα το ανταποδομα ο εδωκεν αυτω ανταπεδωκεν εζεκιας αλλα υψωθη η καρδια αυτου και εγενετο επ' αυτον οργη και επι ιουδαν και ιερουσαλημ	25 But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem.
26 και εταπεινωθη εζεκιας απο του υψους της καρδιας αυτου και οι κατοικουντες ιερουσαλημ και ουκ επηλθεν επ' αυτους οργη κυριου εν ταις ημεραις εζεκιου	26 And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias.
27 και εγενετο τω εζεκια πλουτος και δοξα πολλη σφοδρα και θησαυρους εποιησεν εαυτω αργυριου και χρυσιου και του λιθου του τιμιου και εις τα αρωματα και οπλοθηκας και εις σκευη επιθυμητα	27 And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price.
28 και πολεις εις τα γενηματα σιτου και ελαιου και οινου και φατνας παντος κτηνους και μανδρας εις τα ποιμνια	28 Storehouses also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and stalls for all beasts, and folds for cattle.
29 και πολεις ας ωκοδομησεν αυτω και αποσκευην προβατων και βοων εις πληθος οτι εδωκεν αυτω κυριος αποσκευην πολλην σφοδρα	29 And he built himself cities: for he had docks of sheep, and herds without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance.
30 αυτος εζεκιας ενεφραξεν την εξοδον του υδατος γιων το ανω και κατηυθυνεν αυτα κατω προς λιβα της πολεως δαυιδ και ευοδωθη εζεκιας εν πασι τοις εργοις αυτου	30 This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David : in ail his works he did prosperously what he would.
31 και ουτως τοις πρεσβευταις των αρχοντων απο βαβυλωνος τοις αποσταλεισιν προς αυτον πυθεσθαι παρ' αυτου το τερας ο εγενετο επι της γης και εγκατελιπεν αυτον κυριος του πειρασαι αυτον ειδεναι τα εν τη καρδια αυτου	31 But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart.
32 και τα καταλοιπα των λογων εζεκιου και το ελεος αυτου ιδου γεγραπται εν τη προφητεια ησαιου υιου αμως του προφητου και επι βιβλιου βασιλεων ιουδα και ισραηλ	32 Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
33 και εκοιμηθη εζεκιας μετα των πατερων αυτου και εθαψαν αυτον εν αναβασει ταφων υιων δαυιδ και δοξαν και τιμην εδωκαν αυτω εν τω θανατω αυτου πας ιουδα και οι κατοικουντες εν ιερουσαλημ και εβασιλευσεν μανασσης υιος αυτου αντ' αυτου	33 And Ezechias slept with his fathers, m and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
