1
וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ הַמֶּלֶךְ חִזְקִיָּהוּ וַיִּקְרַע אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיִּתְכַּס בַּשָּׂק וַיָּבֹא בֵּית יְהוָה
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of HaShem.
Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἀκοῦσαι τὸν βασιλέα Ἐζεκίαν, ἔσχισε τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ περιεβάλετο σάκκον, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard [it, that] he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth, and went up to the house of the Lord.
2
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־אֶלְיָקִים אֲשֶׁר־עַל־הַבַּיִת וְאֵת שֶׁבְנָא הַסּוֹפֵר וְאֵת זִקְנֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים מִתְכַּסִּים בַּשַּׂקִּים אֶל־יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בֶן־אָמוֹץ הַנָּבִיא
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ἑλιακεὶμ τὸν οἰκονόμον, καὶ Σόμνᾶν τὸν γραμματέα, καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῶν ἱερέων περιβεβλημένους σάκκους, πρὸς Ἠσαΐαν υἱὸν Ἀμὼς τὸν προφήτην.
And he sent Eliakim the steward, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests clothed with sackcloth, to Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet. And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah,
3
וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו כֹּה אָמַר חִזְקִיָּהוּ יוֹם־צָרָה וְתוֹכֵחָה וּנְאָצָה הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה כִּי בָאוּ בָנִים עַד־מַשְׁבֵּר וְכֹחַ אַיִן לְלֵדָה
And they said unto him: 'Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Καὶ 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.
Today is a day of affliction, and reproach, and rebuke, and anger: for the pangs are come upon the travailing [woman], but she has not strength to bring forth.
4
אוּלַי יִשְׁמַע יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֵת דִּבְרֵי רַב־שָׁקֵה אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחוֹ מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר אֲדֹנָיו לְחָרֵף אֱלֹהִים חַי וְהוֹכִיחַ בַּדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְנָשָׂאתָ תְפִלָּה בְּעַד הַשְּׁאֵרִית הַנִּמְצָאָה
It may be HaShem thy G-d will hear the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to taunt the living G-d, and will rebuke the words which HaShem thy G-d hath heard; wherefore make prayer for the remnant that is left.'
Εἰσακούσαι 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.
May the Lord thy God hear the words of Rabshakeh, which the king of the Assyrians has sent, to reproach the living God, even to reproach with the words which the Lord thy God has heard: therefore thou shalt pray to thy Lord for these that are left.
5
וַיָּבֹאוּ עַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ חִזְקִיָּהוּ אֶל־יְשַׁעְיָהוּ
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Καὶ ἦλθον οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως Ἐζεκίου πρὸς Ἡσαΐαν.
So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6
וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יְשַׁעְיָהוּ כֹּה תֹאמְרוּן אֶל־אֲדֹנֵיכֶם כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה אַל־תִּירָא מִפְּנֵי הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתָּ אֲשֶׁר גִּדְּפוּ נַעֲרֵי מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר אוֹתִי
And Isaiah said unto them: 'Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith HaShem: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
Καὶ 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.
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not thou afraid at the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the ambassadors of the king of the Assyrians have reproached me.
7
הִנְנִי נוֹתֵן בּוֹ רוּחַ וְשָׁמַע שְׁמוּעָה וְשָׁב אֶל־אַרְצוֹ וְהִפַּלְתִּיו בַּחֶרֶב בְּאַרְצוֹ
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return unto his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.'
Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐμβάλλω εἰς αὐτὸν πνεῦμα, καὶ ἀκούσας ἀγγελίαν, ἀποστραφήσεται εἰς τὴν χώραν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πεσεῖται μαχαίρᾳ ἐν τῇ γῇ αὐτοῦ.
Behold, I [will] send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and return to his own country, and he shall fall by the sword in his own land.
8
וַיָּשָׁב רַב־שָׁקֵה וַיִּמְצָא אֶת־מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר נִלְחָם עַל־לִבְנָה כִּי שָׁמַע כִּי נָסַע מִלָּכִישׁ
So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Καὶ ἀπέστρεψε Ῥαβσάκης, καὶ κατέλαβε τὸν βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων πολιορκοῦντα Λοβνάν· καὶ ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἀπῇρεν ἀπὸ Λαχίς.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Libnah: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9
וַיִּשְׁמַע עַל־תִּרְהָקָה מֶלֶךְ־כּוּשׁ לֵאמֹר יָצָא לְהִלָּחֵם אִתָּךְ וַיִּשְׁמַע וַיִּשְׁלַח מַלְאָכִים אֶל־חִזְקִיָּהוּ לֵאמֹר
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia: 'He is come out to fight against thee.' And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
Καὶ ἐξῆλθε Θαρακὰ βασιλεὺς Αἰθιόπων πολιορκῆσαι αὐτόν· καὶ ἀκούσας ἀπέστρεψε, καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, λέγων,
And Tirhakah king of the Ethiopians went forth to attack him. And when he heard it, he turned aside, and sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10
כֹּה תֹאמְרוּן אֶל־חִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר אַל־יַשִּׁאֲךָ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה בּוֹטֵחַ בּוֹ לֵאמֹר לֹא תִנָּתֵן יְרוּשָׁלִַם בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר
'Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy G-d in whom thou trustest beguile thee, saying: Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
οὕτως 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.
Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah king of Judea, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
11
הִנֵּה אַתָּה שָׁמַעְתָּ אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ מַלְכֵי אַשּׁוּר לְכָל־הָאֲרָצוֹת לְהַחֲרִימָם וְאַתָּה תִּנָּצֵל
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Σὺ οὐκ ἤκουσας ἃ ἐποίησαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων, πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν ὡς ἀπώλεσαν; καὶ σὺ ῥυσθήσῃ;
Hast thou not heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done, how they have destroyed the whole earth? and shalt thou be delivered?
12
הַהִצִּילוּ אוֹתָם אֱלֹהֵי הַגּוֹיִם אֲשֶׁר הִשְׁחִיתוּ אֲבוֹתַי אֶת־גּוֹזָן וְאֶת־חָרָן וְרֶצֶף וּבְנֵי־עֶדֶן אֲשֶׁר בִּתְלַשָּׂר
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?
Μὴ ἐῤῥύσαντο αὐτοὺς οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν, οὓς ἀπώλεσαν οἱ πατέρες μου, τήν τε Γωζᾶν, καὶ Χαῤῥὰν, καὶ Ῥαφὲθ, αἵ εἰσιν ἐν χώρᾳ Θεεμάθ;
Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them, both Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, which are in the land of Theemath?
13
אַיֵּה מֶלֶךְ־חֲמָת וּמֶלֶךְ אַרְפָּד וּמֶלֶךְ לָעִיר סְפַרְוָיִם הֵנַע וְעִוָּה
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?'
Ποῦ εἰσι βασιλεῖς Ἐμάθ; καὶ ποῦ Ἀρφάθ; καὶ ποῦ πόλεως Ἐπφαρουαὶμ, Ἀναγονγάυα;
Where are the kings of Hamath? and where [is the king of] Arpad? and where [is the king] of the city of Sepharvaim, [and of] Anagugana?
14
וַיִּקַּח חִזְקִיָּהוּ אֶת־הַסְּפָרִים מִיַּד הַמַּלְאָכִים וַיִּקְרָאֵהוּ וַיַּעַל בֵּית יְהוָה וַיִּפְרְשֵׂהוּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of HaShem, and spread it before HaShem.
Καὶ ἔλαβεν Ἐζεκίας τὸ βιβλίον παρὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων, καὶ ἀνέγνω αὐτὸ, καὶ ἀνέβη εἰς οἶκον Κυρίου, καὶ ἤνοιξεν αὐτὸ ἐναντίον Κυρίου.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and opened it before the Lord.
15
וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל חִזְקִיָּהוּ אֶל־יְהוָה לֵאמֹר
And Hezekiah prayed unto HaShem, saying:
Καὶ προσηύξατο Ἐζεκίας πρὸς Κύριον, λέγων,
And Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying,
16
יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרֻבִים אַתָּה־הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים לְבַדְּךָ לְכֹל מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ
'O HaShem of hosts, the G-d of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, Thou art the G-d, even Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; Thou hast made heaven and earth.
Κύριος 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·
O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubs, thou alone art the God of every kingdom of the world: thou hast made heaven and earth.
17
הַטֵּה יְהוָה אָזְנְךָ וּשְׁמָע פְּקַח יְהוָה עֵינֶךָ וּרְאֵה וּשְׁמַע אֵת כָּל־דִּבְרֵי סַנְחֵרִיב אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח לְחָרֵף אֱלֹהִים חָי
Incline Thine ear, O HaShem, and hear; open Thine eyes, O HaShem, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to taunt the living G-d.
Κλῖνον Κύριε τὸ οὖς σου, εἰσάκουσον Κύριε, ἄνοιξον Κύριε τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου, εἴσβλεψον Κύριε, καὶ ἴδε τοὺς λόγους Σενναχηρεὶμ, οὓς ἀπέστειλεν ὀνειδίζειν Θεὸν ζῶντα.
Incline thine ear, O Lord, hearken, O Lord; open thine eyes, O Lord, look, O Lord: and behold the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
18
אָמְנָם יְהוָה הֶחֱרִיבוּ מַלְכֵי אַשּׁוּר אֶת־כָּל־הָאֲרָצוֹת וְאֶת־אַרְצָם
Of a truth, HaShem, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,
Ἐπʼ ἀληθείας γὰρ Κύριε ἠρήμωσαν βασιλεῖς Ἀσσυρίων τὴν οἰκουμένην ὅλην, καὶ τὴν χώραν αὐτῶν,
For of a truth, Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste the whole world, and the countries thereof,
19
וְנָתֹן אֶת־אֱלֹהֵיהֶם בָּאֵשׁ כִּי לֹא אֱלֹהִים הֵמָּה כִּי אִם־מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי־אָדָם עֵץ וָאֶבֶן וַיְאַבְּדוּם
and 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.
καὶ ἀνέβαλον τὰ εἴδωλα αὐτῶν εἰς τὸ πῦρ· οὐ γὰρ θεοὶ ἦσαν, ἀλλὰ ἔργα χειρῶν ἀνθρώπων, ξύλα καὶ λίθοι· καὶ ἀπώσαντο αὐτούς.
and have cast their idols into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; and they have cast them away.
20
וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ מִיָדוֹ וְיֵדְעוּ כָּל־מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ כִּי־אַתָּה יְהוָה לְבַדֶּךָ
Now therefore, O HaShem our G-d, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art HaShem, even Thou only.'
Νῦν δὲ Κύριε ὁ Θεὸς ἡμῶν σῶσον ἡμᾶς ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα γνῷ πᾶσα βασιλεία τῆς γῆς, ὅτι σῦ εἶ ὁ Θεὸς μόνος.
But now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hands, that every kingdom of the earth may know that thou art God alone.
21
וַיִּשְׁלַח יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בֶן־אָמוֹץ אֶל־חִזְקִיָּהוּ לֵאמֹר כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר הִתְפַּלַּלְתָּ אֵלַי אֶל־סַנְחֵרִיב מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying: 'Thus saith HaShem, the G-d of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Καὶ ἀπεστάλη Ἡσαΐας υἱὸς Ἀμὼς πρὸς Ἐζεκίαν, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, τάδε λέγει Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς Ἰσραὴλ, ἤκουσα ἃ προσηύξω πρὸς μὲ περὶ Σενναχηρεὶμ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων.
And Isaiah the son of Amoz was sent to Hezekiah, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, I have heard thy prayer to me concerning Sennacherib king of the Assyrians.
22
זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר יְהוָה עָלָיו בָּזָה לְךָ לָעֲגָה לְךָ בְּתוּלַת בַּת־צִיּוֹן אַחֲרֶיךָ רֹאשׁ הֵנִיעָה בַּת יְרוּשָׁלָ͏ִם
this is the word which HaShem hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
Οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησε περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ Θεὸς, ἐφαύλισέ σε, καὶ ἐμυκτήρισέ σε παρθένος θυγάτηρ Σιὼν, ἐπὶ σοὶ κεφαλὴν ἐκίνησε θυγάτηρ Ἱερουσαλήμ.
This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Zion has despised thee, and mocked thee; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.
23
אֶת־מִי חֵרַפְתָּ וְגִדַּפְתָּ וְעַל־מִי הֲרִימוֹתָה קּוֹל וַתִּשָּׂא מָרוֹם עֵינֶיךָ אֶל־קְדוֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל
Whom hast thou taunted and blasphemed? And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice? Yea, thou hast lifted up thine eyes on high, even against the Holy One of Israel!
Τίνα ὠνείδισας καὶ παρώξυνας; ἢ πρὸς τίνα ὕψωσας τὴν φωνήν σου; καὶ οὐκ ᾖρας εἰς ὕψος τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς σου πρὸς τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ;
Whom hast thou reproached and provoked? and against whom hast thou lifted up thy voice? and hast thou not lifted up thine eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel?
24
בְּיַד עֲבָדֶיךָ חֵרַפְתָּ אֲדֹנָי וַתֹּאמֶר בְּרֹב רִכְבִּי אֲנִי עָלִיתִי מְרוֹם הָרִים יַרְכְּתֵי לְבָנוֹן וְאֶכְרֹת קוֹמַת אֲרָזָיו מִבְחַר בְּרֹשָׁיו וְאָבוֹא מְרוֹם קִצּוֹ יַעַר כַּרְמִלּוֹ
By thy servants hast thou taunted the L-rd, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I have cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice cypress-trees thereof; and I have entered into his farthest height, the forest of his fruitful field.
Ὅτι 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,
For thou hast reproached the Lord by messengers; for thou hast said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Lebanon; and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses; and I entered into the height of the forest region:
25
אֲנִי קַרְתִּי וְשָׁתִיתִי מָיִם וְאַחְרִב בְּכַף־פְּעָמַי כֹּל יְאֹרֵי מָצוֹר
I have digged and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.
καὶ ἔθηκα γέφυραν, καὶ ἠρήμωσα ὕδατα καὶ πᾶσαν συναγωγὴν ὕδατος.
and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water.
26
הֲלוֹא־שָׁמַעְתָּ לְמֵרָחוֹק אוֹתָהּ עָשִׂיתִי מִימֵי קֶדֶם וִיצַרְתִּיהָ עַתָּה הֲבֵאתִיהָ וּתְהִי לְהַשְׁאוֹת גַּלִּים נִצִּים עָרִים בְּצֻרוֹת
Hast thou not heard? Long ago I made it, in ancient times I fashioned it; now have I brought it to pass, yea, it is done; that fortified cities should be laid waste into ruinous heaps.
Οὐ ταῦτα ἤκουσας πάλαὶ ἃ ἐγὼ ἐποίησα; ἐξ ἡμερῶν ἀρχαίων συνέταξα, νῦν δὲ ἐπέδειξα ἐξερημῶσαι ἔθνη ἐν ὀχυροῖς, καὶ οἰκοῦντας ἐν πόλεσιν ὀχυραῖς.
Hast thou not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed [them] from ancient times; but now have I manifested [my purpose] of desolating nations in [their] strongholds, and them that dwell in strong cities.
27
וְיֹשְׁבֵיהֶן קִצְרֵי־יָד חַתּוּ וָבֹשׁוּ הָיוּ עֵשֶׂב שָׂדֶה וִירַק דֶּשֶׁא חֲצִיר גַּגּוֹת וּשְׁדֵמָה לִפְנֵי קָמָה
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field of corn before it is grown up.
Ἀνῆκα τὰς χεῖρας, καὶ ἐξηράνθησαν, καὶ ἐγένοντο ὡς χόρτος ξηρὸς ἐπὶ δωμάτων, καὶ ὡς ἄγρωστις.
I weakened [their] hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the housetops, and as grass.
28
וְשִׁבְתְּךָ וְצֵאתְךָ וּבוֹאֲךָ יָדָעְתִּי וְאֵת הִתְרַגֶּזְךָ אֵלָי
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against Me.
Νῦν δὲ τὴν ἀνάπαυσίν σου, καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου, καὶ τὴν εἴσοδόν σου ἐγὼ ἐπίσταμαι.
But now I know thy rest, and thy going out, and thy coming in.
29
יַעַן הִתְרַגֶּזְךָ אֵלַי וְשַׁאֲנַנְךָ עָלָה בְאָזְנָי וְשַׂמְתִּי חַחִי בְּאַפֶּךָ וּמִתְגִּי בִּשְׂפָתֶיךָ וַהֲשִׁיבֹתִיךָ בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר־בָּאתָ בָּהּ
Because of thy raging against Me, and for that thine uproar is come up into Mine ears, therefore will I put My hook in thy nose, and My bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Ὁ 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.
And thy wrath wherewith thou hast been enraged, and thy rancor has come up to me; therefore I will put a hook in thy nose, and a bit in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
30
וְזֶה־לְּךָ הָאוֹת אָכוֹל הַשָּׁנָה סָפִיחַ וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית שָׁחִיס וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁלִישִׁית זִרְעוּ וְקִצְרוּ וְנִטְעוּ כְרָמִים ואכול וְאִכְלוּ פִרְיָם
And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
Τοῦτο 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.
And this shall be a sign to thee, Eat this year what thou hast sown; and the second year that which is left: and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
31
וְיָסְפָה פְּלֵיטַת בֵּית־יְהוּדָה הַנִּשְׁאָרָה שֹׁרֶשׁ לְמָטָּה וְעָשָׂה פְרִי לְמָעְלָה
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Καὶ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελιμμένοι ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ, φυήσουσι ῥίζαν κάτω, καὶ ποιήσουσι σπέρμα ἄνω·
And they that are left in Judea shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32
כִּי מִירוּשָׁלִַם תֵּצֵא שְׁאֵרִית וּפְלֵיטָה מֵהַר צִיּוֹן קִנְאַת יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת תַּעֲשֶׂה־זֹּאת
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape; the zeal of HaShem of hosts shall perform this.
Ὅτι ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἔσονται οἱ καταλελειμμένοι, καὶ οἱ σωζόμενοι ἐξ ὄρους Σιών· ὁ ζῆλος Κυρίου σαβαὼθ ποιήσει ταῦτα.
for out of Jerusalem there shall be a remnant, and the saved ones out of Mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
33
לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֶל־מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר לֹא יָבוֹא אֶל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְלֹא־יוֹרֶה שָׁם חֵץ וְלֹא־יְקַדְּמֶנָּה מָגֵן וְלֹא־יִשְׁפֹּךְ עֳלֶיהָ סֹלְלָה
Therefore thus saith HaShem concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.
Διατοῦτο 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·
Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, nor cast a weapon against it, nor bring a shield against it, nor make a rampart round it.
34
בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר־בָּא בָּהּ יָשׁוּב וְאֶל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת לֹא יָבוֹא נְאֻם־יְהוָה
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith HaShem.
Ἀλλὰ τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἦλθεν, ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποστραφήσεται, καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθῃ· τάδε λέγει Κύριος.
But by the way by which he came, by it shall he return, and shall not enter into this city: thus saith the Lord.
35
וְגַנּוֹתִי עַל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת לְהוֹשִׁיעָהּ לְמַעֲנִי וּלְמַעַן דָּוִד עַבְדִּי
For I will defend this city to save it, for Mine own sake, and for My servant David's sake.'
Ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης τοῦ σῶσαι αὐτὴν διʼ ἐμὲ, καὶ διὰ Δαυὶδ τὸν παῖδά μου.
