Polyglot Bible: Isaiah: Isaiah 36

KJV

1  Now it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the fourteenth^{702 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of king⁴⁴²⁸ Hezekiah,²³⁹⁶ that Sennacherib⁵⁵⁷⁶ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ came up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁵⁹²¹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the defensed¹²¹⁹ cities⁵⁸⁹² of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and took⁸⁶¹⁰ them.

2  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria⁸⁰⁴ sent^{7971 853} Rab-shakeh⁷²⁶² from Lachish^{4480 3923} to Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ unto⁴¹³ king⁴⁴²⁸ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ with a great³⁵¹⁵ army.²⁴²⁸ And he stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ by the conduit⁸⁵⁸⁵ of the upper⁵⁹⁴⁵ pool¹²⁹⁵ in the highway⁴⁵⁴⁶ of the fuller's³⁵²⁶ field.⁷⁷⁰⁴

3  Then came forth³³¹⁸ unto⁴¹³ him Eliakim,⁴⁷¹ Hilkiah's²⁵¹⁸ son,¹¹²¹ which⁸³⁴ was over⁵⁹²¹ the house,¹⁰⁰⁴ and Shebna⁷⁶⁴⁴ the scribe,⁵⁶⁰⁸ and Joah,³⁰⁹⁸ Asaph's⁶²³ son,¹¹²¹ the recorder.²¹⁴²

4  And Rab-shakeh⁷²⁶² said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ them, Say⁵⁵⁹ ye now⁴⁹⁹⁴ to⁴¹³ Hezekiah,²³⁹⁶ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the great¹⁴¹⁹ king,⁴⁴²⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ What⁴¹⁰⁰ confidence⁹⁸⁶ is this²⁰⁸⁸ wherein⁸³⁴ thou trustest?⁹⁸²

5  I say,⁵⁵⁹ sayest thou, (but³⁸⁹ they are but vain⁸¹⁹³ words)¹⁶⁹⁷ I have counsel⁶⁰⁹⁸ and strength¹³⁶⁹ for war:⁴⁴²¹ now⁶²⁵⁸ on⁵⁹²¹ whom⁴³¹⁰ dost thou trust,⁹⁸² that³⁵⁸⁸ thou rebellest⁴⁷⁷⁵ against me?

6  Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ thou trustest⁹⁸² in⁵⁹²¹ the staff⁴⁹³⁸ of this²⁰⁸⁸ broken⁷⁵³³ reed,⁷⁰⁷⁰ on⁵⁹²¹ Egypt;⁴⁷¹⁴ whereon^{834 5921} if a man³⁷⁶ lean,⁵⁵⁶⁴ it will go⁹³⁵ into his hand,³⁷⁰⁹ and pierce⁵³⁴⁴ it: so³⁶⁵¹ is Pharaoh⁶⁵⁴⁷ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ to all³⁶⁰⁵ that trust⁹⁸² in⁵⁹²¹ him.

7  But³⁵⁸⁸ if thou say⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ me, We trust⁹⁸² in⁴¹³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ our God:⁴³⁰ is it not³⁸⁰⁸ he,^{1931 853} whose⁸³⁴ high places¹¹¹⁶ and whose altars⁴¹⁹⁶ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ hath taken away,⁵⁴⁹³ and said⁵⁵⁹ to Judah³⁰⁶³ and to Jerusalem,³³⁸⁹ Ye shall worship⁷⁸¹² before⁶⁴⁴⁰ this²⁰⁸⁸ altar?⁴¹⁹⁶

8  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore give pledges,⁶¹⁴⁹ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ to⁸⁵⁴ my master¹¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ and I will give⁵⁴¹⁴ thee two thousand⁵⁰⁵ horses,⁵⁴⁸³ if⁵¹⁸ thou be able³²⁰¹ on thy part to set⁵⁴¹⁴ riders⁷³⁹² upon⁵⁹²¹ them.

9  How³⁴⁹ then wilt thou turn away^{7725 853} the face⁶⁴⁴⁰ of one²⁵⁹ captain⁶³⁴⁶ of the least⁶⁹⁹⁶ of my master's¹¹³ servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and put thy trust⁹⁸² on⁵⁹²¹ Egypt⁴⁷¹⁴ for chariots⁷³⁹³ and for horsemen?⁶⁵⁷¹

10  And am I now⁶²⁵⁸ come up⁵⁹²⁷ without^{4480 1107} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ against⁵⁹²¹ this²⁰⁶³ land⁷⁷⁶ to destroy⁷⁸⁴³ it? the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ me, Go up⁵⁹²⁷ against⁴¹³ this²⁰⁶³ land,⁷⁷⁶ and destroy⁷⁸⁴³ it.

11  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Eliakim⁴⁷¹ and Shebna⁷⁶⁴⁴ and Joah³⁰⁹⁸ unto⁴¹³ Rab-shakeh,⁷²⁶² Speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ unto⁴¹³ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ in the Syrian language;⁷⁶² for³⁵⁸⁸ we⁵⁸⁷ understand⁸⁰⁸⁵ it: and speak¹⁶⁹⁶ not⁴⁰⁸ to⁴¹³ us in the Jews' language,³⁰⁶⁶ in the ears²⁴¹ of the people⁵⁹⁷¹ that⁸³⁴ are on⁵⁹²¹ the wall.²³⁴⁶

12  But Rab-shakeh⁷²⁶² said,⁵⁵⁹ Hath my master¹¹³ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ me to⁴¹³ thy master¹¹³ and to⁴¹³ thee to speak^{1696 853} these⁴²⁸ words?¹⁶⁹⁷ hath he not³⁸⁰⁸ sent me to⁵⁹²¹ the men³⁷⁶ that sit³⁴²⁷ upon⁵⁹²¹ the wall,²³⁴⁶ that they may eat^{398 853} their own dung,⁶⁶⁷⁵ and drink^{8354 853} their own piss^{4325 7272} with⁵⁹⁷³ you?

13  Then Rab-shakeh⁷²⁶² stood,⁵⁹⁷⁵ and cried⁷¹²¹ with a loud¹⁴¹⁹ voice⁶⁹⁶³ in the Jews' language,³⁰⁶⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye ⁸⁵³ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of the great¹⁴¹⁹ king,⁴⁴²⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria.⁸⁰⁴

14  Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ Let not⁴⁰⁸ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ deceive⁵³⁷⁷ you: for³⁵⁸⁸ he shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be able³²⁰¹ to deliver⁵³³⁷ you.

15  Neither⁴⁰⁸ let Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ make you trust^{982 853} in⁴¹³ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will surely deliver^{5337 5337} us: this²⁰⁶³ city⁵⁸⁹² shall not³⁸⁰⁸ be delivered⁵⁴¹⁴ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria.⁸⁰⁴

16  Hearken⁸⁰⁸⁵ not⁴⁰⁸ to⁴¹³ Hezekiah:²³⁹⁶ for³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria,⁸⁰⁴ Make⁶²¹³ an agreement with⁸⁵⁴ me by a present,¹²⁹³ and come out³³¹⁸ to⁴¹³ me: and eat³⁹⁸ ye every one³⁷⁶ of his vine,¹⁶¹² and every one³⁷⁶ of his fig tree,⁸³⁸⁴ and drink⁸³⁵⁴ ye every one³⁷⁶ the waters⁴³²⁵ of his own cistern;⁹⁵³

17  Until⁵⁷⁰⁴ I come⁹³⁵ and take you away^{3947 853} to⁴¹³ a land⁷⁷⁶ like your own land,⁷⁷⁶ a land⁷⁷⁶ of corn¹⁷¹⁵ and wine,⁸⁴⁹² a land⁷⁷⁶ of bread³⁸⁹⁹ and vineyards.³⁷⁵⁴

18  Beware lest⁶⁴³⁵ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ persuade⁵⁴⁹⁶ you, saying,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD³⁰⁶⁸ will deliver⁵³³⁷ us. Hath any³⁷⁶ of the gods⁴³⁰ of the nations¹⁴⁷¹ delivered^{5337 853} his land⁷⁷⁶ out of the hand^{4480 3027} of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Assyria?⁸⁰⁴

19  Where³⁴⁶ are the gods⁴³⁰ of Hamath²⁵⁷⁴ and Arphad?⁷⁷⁴ where³⁴⁶ are the gods⁴³⁰ of Sepharvaim?⁵⁶¹⁷ and³⁵⁸⁸ have they delivered^{5337 853} Samaria⁸¹¹¹ out of my hand?^{4480 3027}

20  Who⁴³¹⁰ are they among all³⁶⁰⁵ the gods⁴³⁰ of these⁴²⁸ lands,⁷⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ have delivered^{5337 853} their land⁷⁷⁶ out of my hand,^{4480 3027} that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ should deliver^{5337 853} Jerusalem³³⁸⁹ out of my hand?^{4480 3027}

21  But they held their peace,²⁷⁹⁰ and answered⁶⁰³⁰ him not³⁸⁰⁸ a word:¹⁶⁹⁷ for³⁵⁸⁸ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ commandment⁴⁶⁸⁷ was, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Answer⁶⁰³⁰ him not.³⁸⁰⁸

22  Then came⁹³⁵ Eliakim,⁴⁷¹ the son¹¹²¹ of Hilkiah,²⁵¹⁸ that⁸³⁴ was over⁵⁹²¹ the household,¹⁰⁰⁴ and Shebna⁷⁶⁴⁴ the scribe,⁵⁶⁰⁸ and Joah,³⁰⁹⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Asaph,⁶²³ the recorder,²¹⁴² to⁴¹³ Hezekiah²³⁹⁶ with their clothes⁸⁹⁹ rent,⁷¹⁶⁷ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him ⁸⁵³ the words¹⁶⁹⁷ of Rab-shakeh.⁷²⁶²

1 καὶ ἐγένετο τοῦ τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτου ἔτους βασιλεύοντος Εζεκιου ἀνέβη Σενναχηριμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τῆς Ιουδαίας τὰς ὀχυρὰς καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτάς

2 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων Ραψακην ἐκ Λαχις εἰς Ιερουσαλημ πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Εζεκιαν μετὰ δυνάμεως πολλῆς καὶ ἔστη ἐν τῷ ὑδραγωγῷ τῆς κολυμβήθρας τῆς ἄνω ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ τοῦ ἀγροῦ τοῦ γναφέως

3 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ελιακιμ ὁ τοῦ Χελκιου ὁ οἰκονόμος καὶ Σομνας ὁ γραμματεὺς καὶ Ιωαχ ὁ τοῦ Ασαφ ὁ ὑπομνηματογράφος

4 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ραψακης εἴπατε Εζεκια τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς ὁ μέγας βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων τί πεποιθὼς εἶ

5 μὴ ἐν βουλῇ ἢ λόγοις χειλέων παράταξις γίνεται καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ τίνι πέποιθας ὅτι ἀπειθεῖς μοι

6 ἰδοὺ πεποιθὼς εἶ ἐπὶ τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν καλαμίνην τὴν τεθλασμένην ταύτην ἐπ᾽ Αἴγυπτον ὃς ἂν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν ἐπιστηρισθῇ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ οὕτως ἐστὶν Φαραω βασιλεὺς Αἰγύπτου καὶ πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ

7 εἰ δὲ λέγετε ἐπὶ κύριον τὸν θεὸν ἡμῶν πεποίθαμεν

8 νῦν μείχθητε τῷ κυρίῳ μου τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἀσσυρίων καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν δισχιλίαν ἵππον εἰ δυνήσεσθε δοῦναι ἀναβάτας ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς

9 καὶ πῶς δύνασθε ἀποστρέψαι εἰς πρόσωπον τοπάρχου ἑνός οἰκέται εἰσὶν οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾽ Αἰγυπτίοις εἰς ἵππον καὶ ἀναβάτην

10 καὶ νῦν μὴ ἄνευ κυρίου ἀνέβημεν ἐπὶ τὴν χώραν ταύτην πολεμῆσαι αὐτήν

11 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ελιακιμ καὶ Σομνας καὶ Ιωαχ λάλησον πρὸς τοὺς παῖδάς σου Συριστί ἀκούομεν γὰρ ἡμεῖς καὶ μὴ λάλει πρὸς ἡμᾶς Ιουδαϊστί καὶ ἵνα τί λαλεῖς εἰς τὰ ὦτα τῶν ἀνθρώπων τῶν ἐπὶ τῷ τείχει

12 καὶ εἶπεν Ραψακης πρὸς αὐτούς μὴ πρὸς τὸν κύριον ὑμῶν ἢ πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀπέσταλκέν με ὁ κύριός μου λαλῆσαι τοὺς λόγους τούτους οὐχὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τοὺς καθημένους ἐπὶ τῷ τείχει ἵνα φάγωσιν κόπρον καὶ πίωσιν οὖρον μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν ἅμα

13 καὶ ἔστη Ραψακης καὶ ἐβόησεν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ Ιουδαϊστὶ καὶ εἶπεν ἀκούσατε τοὺς λόγους τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων

14 τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεύς μὴ ἀπατάτω ὑμᾶς Εζεκιας λόγοις οἳ οὐ δυνήσονται ῥύσασθαι ὑμᾶς

15 καὶ μὴ λεγέτω ὑμῖν Εζεκιας ὅτι ῥύσεται ὑμᾶς ὁ θεός καὶ οὐ μὴ παραδοθῇ ἡ πόλις αὕτη ἐν χειρὶ βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων

16 μὴ ἀκούετε Εζεκιου τάδε λέγει ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων εἰ βούλεσθε εὐλογηθῆναι ἐκπορεύεσθε πρός με καὶ φάγεσθε ἕκαστος τὴν ἄμπελον αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς συκᾶς καὶ πίεσθε ὕδωρ τοῦ λάκκου ὑμῶν

17 ἕως ἂν ἔλθω καὶ λάβω ὑμᾶς εἰς γῆν ὡς ἡ γῆ ὑμῶν γῆ σίτου καὶ οἴνου καὶ ἄρτων καὶ ἀμπελώνων

18 μὴ ὑμᾶς ἀπατάτω Εζεκιας λέγων ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν ῥύσεται ὑμᾶς μὴ ἐρρύσαντο οἱ θεοὶ τῶν ἐθνῶν ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χώραν ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων

19 ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ θεὸς Αιμαθ καὶ Αρφαθ καὶ ποῦ ὁ θεὸς τῆς πόλεως Σεπφαριμ μὴ ἐδύναντο ῥύσασθαι Σαμάρειαν ἐκ χειρός μου

20 τίς τῶν θεῶν πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν τούτων ἐρρύσατο τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἐκ τῆς χειρός μου ὅτι ῥύσεται ὁ θεὸς Ιερουσαλημ ἐκ χειρός μου

21 καὶ ἐσιώπησαν καὶ οὐδεὶς ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ λόγον διὰ τὸ προστάξαι τὸν βασιλέα μηδένα ἀποκριθῆναι

22 καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ελιακιμ ὁ τοῦ Χελκιου ὁ οἰκονόμος καὶ Σομνας ὁ γραμματεὺς τῆς δυνάμεως καὶ Ιωαχ ὁ τοῦ Ασαφ ὁ ὑπομνηματογράφος πρὸς Εζεκιαν ἐσχισμένοι τοὺς χιτῶνας καὶ ἀπήγγειλαν αὐτῷ τοὺς λόγους Ραψακου

1 Et factum est in quartodecimo anno regis Ezechiæ, ascendit Sennacherib, rex Assyriorum, super omnes civitates Juda munitas, et cepit eas.

2 Et misit rex Assyriorum Rabsacen de Lachis in Jerusalem, ad regem Ezechiam in manu gravi: et stetit in aquæductu piscinæ superioris in via Agri fullonis.

3 Et egressus est ad eum Eliacim, filius Helciæ, qui erat super domum, et Sobna scriba, et Joahe filius Asaph, a commentariis.

4 Et dixit ad eos Rabsaces: Dicite Ezechiæ: Hæc dicit rex magnus, rex Assyriorum: Quæ est ista fiducia qua confidis?

5 aut quo consilio vel fortitudine rebellare disponis? super quem habes fiduciam, quia recessisti a me?

6 Ecce 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.

7 Quod 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?

8 Et nunc trade te domino meo, regi Assyriorum, et dabo tibi duo millia equorum, nec poteris ex te præbere ascensores eorum:

9 et quomodo sustinebis faciem judicis unius loci ex servis domini mei minoribus? Quod si confidis in Ægypto, in quadrigis et in equitibus,

10 et nunc numquid sine Domino ascendi ad terram istam, ut disperderem eam? Dominus dixit ad me: Ascende super terram istam, et disperde eam.

11 Et 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.

12 Et 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?

13 Et stetit Rabsaces, et clamavit voce magna judaice, et dixit: Audite verba regis magni, regis Assyriorum!

14 Hæc dicit rex: Non seducat vos Ezechias, quia non poterit eruere vos.

15 Et non vobis tribuat fiduciam Ezechias super Domino, dicens: Eruens liberabit nos Dominus: non dabitur civitas ista in manu regis Assyriorum.

16 Nolite 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,

17 donec veniam, et tollam vos ad terram quæ est ut terra vestra, terram frumenti et vini, terram panum et vinearum.

18 Nec conturbet vos Ezechias, dicens: Dominus liberabit nos. Numquid liberaverunt dii gentium unusquisque terram suam de manu regis Assyriorum?

19 Ubi est deus Emath et Arphad? ubi est deus Sepharvaim? numquid liberaverunt Samariam de manu mea?

20 Quis est ex omnibus diis terrarum istarum qui eruerit terram suam de manu mea, ut eruat Dominus Jerusalem de manu mea?

21 Et siluerunt, et non responderunt ei verbum. Mandaverat enim rex, dicens: Ne respondeatis ei.

22 Et 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.
