2 et misit Eliachim, qui eratsuper domum, et Sobnam scribam et seniores de sacerdotibus opertos saccis adIsaiam filium Amos prophetam,	2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna, the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, the prophet.
3 et dixerunt ad eum: “ Haec dicit Ezechias:Dies tribulationis et correptionis et contumeliae dies haec, quia venerunt filiiusque ad partum, et virtus non est pariendi.	3 And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. For the sons have arrived at the time for birth, but there is not enough strength to bring them forth.
4 Forsitan audiet Dominus Deus tuusverba Rabsacis, quem misit rex Assyriorum, dominus suus, ad blasphemandum Deumviventem, et puniet sermones, quos audivit Dominus Deus tuus; leva ergoorationem pro reliquiis, quae repertae sunt ”.	4 Perhaps, somehow, the Lord your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, has sent to blaspheme the living God, and will rebuke the words that the Lord your God has heard. Therefore, lift up your prayers on behalf of the remnant which has been left behind.”
5 Et venerunt servi regis Ezechiae ad Isaiam;	5 And so the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.
6 et dixit ad eos Isaias: “Haecdicetis domino vestro: Haec dicit Dominus: Ne timeas a facie verborum, quaeaudisti, quibus blasphemaverunt pueri regis Assyriorum me.	6 And Isaiah said to them: “You shall say this to your lord: Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid to face the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians blasphemed me.
7 Ecce ego dabo eispiritum, et audiet nuntium et revertetur ad terram suam, et corruere eum faciamgladio in terra sua ”.	7 Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a message, and he will return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword, in his own land.”
8 Reversus est autem Rabsaces et invenit regem Assyriorum proeliantem adversusLobnam; audierat enim quia profectus esset de Lachis.	8 Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had set out from Lachish.
9 Et audivit de Tharacarege Aethiopiae dicentes: “ Egressus est, ut pugnet contra te ”. Quod cum audisset, misit nuntios ad Ezechiam dicens:	9 And he heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia: “He has gone forth so that he may fight against you.” And when he had heard this, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
10 “ Haec dicetisEzechiae regi Iudae loquentes: Non te decipiat Deus tuus, in quo tu confidis,dicens: “Non dabitur Ierusalem in manu regis Assyriorum”.	10 “You shall say this to Hezekiah, the king of Judah, saying: Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying: ‘Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
11 Ecce tu audistiomnia, quae fecerunt reges Assyriorum omnibus terris, quas ad interitumdevoverunt, et tu poteris liberari?	11 Behold, you have heard about all that the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands that they have conquered, and so, how can you be delivered?
12 Numquid eruerunt eos dii gentium, quossubverterunt patres mei, Gozan et Charran et Reseph et filios Eden, qui erant inThelassar?	12 Have the gods of the nations rescued those whom my fathers have conquered: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were at Telassar?
13 Ubi est rex Emath et rex Arphad et rex urbis Sepharvaim, Ana etAva? ”.	13 Where is the king of Hamath and the king of Arpad, or the king of the city of Sepharvaim, or of Hena and Ivvah?”
14 Et tulit Ezechias epistulam de manu nuntiorum et legit eam. Et ascendit indomum Domini et expandit eam Ezechias coram Domino.	14 And Hezekiah took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and he read it, and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it out in the sight of the Lord.
15 Et oravit Ezechias ad Dominum dicens:	15 And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying:
16 “ Domine exercituum, Deus Israel, qui sedes super cherubim, tu es Deussolus omnium regnorum terrae, tu fecisti caelum et terram.	16 “O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel who sits upon the Cherubim: you alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
17 Inclina, Domine,aurem tuam et audi; aperi, Domine, oculos tuos et vide et audi omnia verbaSennacherib, quae misit ad blasphemandum Deum viventem.	17 O Lord, incline your ear and listen. O Lord, open your eyes and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to blaspheme the living God.

19 et dederunt deosearum igni: non enim erant dii, sed opera manuum hominum, lignum et lapis; etcomminuerunt eos.	19 And they have cast their gods into the fire. For these were not gods, but the works of men’s hands, of wood and of stone. And they broke them into pieces.
20 Et nunc, Domine Deus noster, salva nos de manu eius; etcognoscant omnia regna terrae quia tu, Domine, es solus Deus ”.	20 And now, O Lord our God, save us from his hand. And let all the kingdoms of the earth acknowledge that you alone are Lord.”
21 Et misit Isaias filius Amos ad Ezechiam dicens: “ Haec dicit Dominus, DeusIsrael: Pro quibus rogasti me de Sennacherib rege Assyriorum,	21 And Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Because of what you have prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians,
22 hoc est verbum,quod locutus est Dominus super eum: Despexit te, subsannavit te virgo filia Sion; post te caput movit filia Ierusalem.	22 this is the word that the Lord has spoken over him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and mocked you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
23 Cui exprobrasti et quem blasphemasti? Et super quem exaltasti vocem et levasti altitudinem oculorum tuorum? Contra Sanctum Israel!	23 Whom have you insulted? And whom have you blasphemed? And against whom have you lifted up your voice and raised up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
24 In manu servorum tuorum exprobrasti Domino et dixisti: “In multitudine quadrigarum mearum ego ascendi altitudinem montium, iuga Libani; et succidi excelsa cedrorum eius et electas abietes illius et introivi altitudinem summitatis eius, silvam condensam.	24 By the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord. And you have said: ‘With a multitude of my four-horse chariots, I have ascended the heights of the mountains adjoining Lebanon. And I will cut down its lofty cedars and its choice pine trees. And I will reach the top of its summit, to the forest of its Carmel.
25 Ego fodi et bibi aquam alienam et exsiccavi vestigio pedis mei omnes rivos Aegypti”.	25 I dug deep, and I drank water, and I dried up all the river banks with the sole of my foot.’
26 Numquid non audisti? A saeculo feci illud; a diebus antiquis ego plasmavi illud et nunc adduxi, ut fiat in eradicationem, in lapides eversos civitates munitae.	26 Have you not heard what I have done to it in past times? In ancient times, I formed it. And now I have brought it forth. And it has been made so that the hills and the fortified cities would fight together, unto its destruction.
27 Habitatores earum breviata manu contremuerunt et confusi sunt; facti sunt sicut fenum agri et gramen viride et herba tectorum, quae exaruit a facie austri.	27 Their inhabitants had unsteady hands. They trembled and were confused. They became like the plants of the field, and the grass of the pastures, and like the weeds on the rooftops, which wither before they are mature.
28 Sessionem tuam et egressum tuum et introitum tuum cognovi et insaniam tuam contra me.	28 I know your habitation, and your arrival, and your departure, and your madness against me.
29 Cum fureris adversum me, et superbia tua ascenderit in aures meas, ponam circulum in naribus tuis et frenum in labiis tuis et reducam te in viam, per quam venisti.	29 When you became angry against me, your arrogance rose up to my ears. Therefore, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will turn you back on the road by which you arrived.
30 Tibi autem hoc erit signum: Comedantur hoc anno, quae colligi poterunt, et in anno secundo, quae sponte nascuntur; in anno autem tertio seminate et metite et plantate vineas et comedite fructum earum.	30 But this shall be a sign for you: Eat, in this year, whatever springs up on its own. And in the second year, eat fruits. But in the third year, sow and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 Et mittet id, quod salvatum fuerit de domo Iudae, quod reliquum est, radicem deorsum et faciet fructum sursum.	31 And what will be saved from the house of Judah, and what is left behind, will form deep roots, and will bear high fruits.
32 Quia de Ierusalem exibit residuum, et, quod salvum fuerit, de monte Sion. Zelus Domini exercituum faciet istud.	32 For from Jerusalem, a remnant shall go forth, and salvation from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.
33 Propterea haec dicit Dominus de rege Assyriorum: Non introibit civitatem hanc et non iaciet ibi sagittam et non opponet ei clipeum et non mittet contra eam aggerem.	33 For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He will not enter this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with a shield, nor dig a rampart all around it.
34 In via, qua venit, per eam revertetur, et civitatem hanc non ingredietur, dicit Dominus.	34 He will return on the road by which he arrived. And into this city, he will not enter, says the Lord.
35 Et protegam civitatem istam, ut salvem eam propter me et propter David servum meum ”.	35 And I will protect this city, so that I may save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David, my servant.”
36 Egressus est autem angelus Domini et percussit in castris Assyriorum centumoctoginta quinque milia; et surrexerunt mane, et ecce omnes illi cadaveramortuorum.	36 Then the Angel of the Lord went forth and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold, all these were dead bodies.

38 Et factum est, cum adoraret in templo Nesroch dei sui,Adramelech et Sarasar filii eius percusserunt eum gladio fugeruntque in terramArarat. Et regnavit Asarhaddon filius eius pro eo.	38 And it happened that, as he was adoring his god in the temple of Nisroch, his sons, Adramelech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
