1. וַיְהִי כִּשְׁמֹעַ הַמֶּלֶךְ חִזְקִיָּהוּ וַיִּקְרַע אֶת־בְּגָדָיו וַיִּתְכַּס בַּשָּׂק וַיָּבֹא בֵּית יְהוָה׃
|
1. And it came to pass H1961 , when king H4428 Hezekiah H2396 heard H8085 it , that he rent H7167 H853 his clothes H899 , and covered himself H3680 with sackcloth H8242 , and went H935 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
2. וַיִּשְׁלַח אֶת־אֶלְיָקִים אֲשֶׁר־עַל־הַבַּיִת וְשֶׁבְנָא הַסֹּפֵר וְאֵת זִקְנֵי הַכֹּהֲנִים מִתְכַּסִּים בַּשַּׂקִּים אֶל־יְשַׁעְיָהוּ הַנָּבִיא בֶּן־אָמֹוץ׃
|
2. And he sent H7971 H853 Eliakim H471 , which H834 was over H5921 the household H1004 , and Shebna H7644 the scribe H5608 , and the elders H2205 of the priests H3548 , covered H3680 with sackcloth H8242 , to H413 Isaiah H3470 the prophet H5030 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 .
|
|
3. וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו כֹּה אָמַר חִזְקִיָּהוּ יֹום־צָרָה וְתֹוכֵחָה וּנְאָצָה הַיֹּום הַזֶּה כִּי בָאוּ בָנִים עַד־מַשְׁבֵּר וְכֹחַ אַיִן לְלֵדָה׃
|
3. And they said H559 unto H413 him, Thus H3541 saith H559 Hezekiah H2396 , This H2088 day H3117 is a day H3117 of trouble H6869 , and of rebuke H8433 , and blasphemy H5007 : for H3588 the children H1121 are come H935 to H5704 the birth H4866 , and there is not H369 strength H3581 to bring forth H3205 .
|
|
4. אוּלַי יִשְׁמַע יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֵת ׀ כָּל־דִּבְרֵי רַב־שָׁקֵה אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחֹו מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר ׀ אֲדֹנָיו לְחָרֵף אֱלֹהִים חַי וְהֹוכִיחַ בַּדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַע יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ וְנָשָׂאתָ תְפִלָּה בְּעַד הַשְּׁאֵרִית הַנִּמְצָאָה׃
|
4. It may be H194 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 will hear H8085 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of Rab H7262 -shakeh, whom H834 the king H4428 of Assyria H804 his master H113 hath sent H7971 to reproach H2778 the living H2416 God H430 ; and will reprove H3198 the words H1697 which H834 the LORD H3068 thy God H430 hath heard H8085 : wherefore lift up H5375 thy prayer H8605 for H1157 the remnant H7611 that are left H4672 .
|
|
5. וַיָּבֹאוּ עַבְדֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ חִזְקִיָּהוּ אֶל־יְשַׁעַיָהוּ׃
|
5. So the servants H5650 of king H4428 Hezekiah H2396 came H935 to H413 Isaiah H3470 .
|
|
6. וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם יְשַׁעְיָהוּ כֹּה תֹאמְרוּן אֶל־אֲדֹנֵיכֶם כֹּה ׀ אָמַר יְהוָה אַל־תִּירָא מִפְּנֵי הַדְּבָרִים אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתָּ אֲשֶׁר גִּדְּפוּ נַעֲרֵי מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר אֹתִי׃
|
6. And Isaiah H3470 said H559 unto them, Thus H3541 shall ye say H559 to H413 your master H113 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 , Be not afraid H408 H3372 of H4480 H6440 the words H1697 which H834 thou hast heard H8085 , with which H834 the servants H5288 of the king H4428 of Assyria H804 have blasphemed H1442 me.
|
|
7. הִנְנִי נֹתֵן בֹּו רוּחַ וְשָׁמַע שְׁמוּעָה וְשָׁב לְאַרְצֹו וְהִפַּלְתִּיו בַּחֶרֶב בְּאַרְצֹו׃
|
7. Behold H2009 , I will send H5414 a blast H7307 upon him , and he shall hear H8085 a rumor H8052 , and shall return H7725 to his own land H776 ; and I will cause him to fall H5307 by the sword H2719 in his own land H776 .
|
|
8. וַיָּשָׁב רַב־שָׁקֵה וַיִּמְצָא אֶת־מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר נִלְחָם עַל־לִבְנָה כִּי שָׁמַע כִּי נָסַע מִלָּכִישׁ׃
|
8. So Rab H7262 -shakeh returned H7725 , and found H4672 H853 the king H4428 of Assyria H804 warring H3898 against H5921 Libnah H3841 : for H3588 he had heard H8085 that H3588 he was departed H5265 from Lachish H4480 H3923 .
|
|
9. וַיִּשְׁמַע אֶל־תִּרְהָקָה מֶלֶך־כּוּשׁ לֵאמֹר הִנֵּה יָצָא לְהִלָּחֵם אִתָּךְ וַיָּשָׁב וַיִּשְׁלַח מַלְאָכִים אֶל־חִזְקִיָּהוּ לֵאמֹר׃
|
9. And when he heard H8085 say H559 of H413 Tirhakah H8640 king H4428 of Ethiopia H3568 , Behold H2009 , he is come out H3318 to fight H3898 against H854 thee : he sent H7971 messengers H4397 again H7725 unto H413 Hezekiah H2396 , saying H559 ,
|
|
10. כֹּה תֹאמְרוּן אֶל־חִזְקִיָּהוּ מֶלֶךְ־יְהוּדָה לֵאמֹר אַל־יַשִּׁאֲךָ אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר אַתָּה בֹּטֵחַ בֹּו לֵאמֹר לֹא תִנָּתֵן יְרוּשָׁלִַם בְּיַד מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר׃
|
10. Thus H3541 shall ye speak H559 to H413 Hezekiah H2396 king H4428 of Judah H3063 , saying H559 , Let not H408 thy God H430 in whom H834 thou H859 trustest H982 deceive H5377 thee, saying H559 , Jerusalem H3389 shall not H3808 be delivered H5414 into the hand H3027 of the king H4428 of Assyria H804 .
|
|
11. הִנֵּה ׀ אַתָּה שָׁמַעְתָּ אֵת אֲשֶׁר עָשׂוּ מַלְכֵי אַשּׁוּר לְכָל־הָאֲרָצֹות לְהַחֲרִימָם וְאַתָּה תִּנָּצֵל׃
|
11. Behold H2009 , thou H859 hast heard H8085 H853 what H834 the kings H4428 of Assyria H804 have done H6213 to all H3605 lands H776 , by destroying them utterly H2763 : and shalt thou H859 be delivered H5337 ?
|
|
12. הַהִצִּילוּ אֹתָם אֱלֹהֵי הַגֹּויִם אֲשֶׁר שִׁחֲתוּ אֲבֹותַי אֶת־גֹּוזָן וְאֶת־חָרָן וְרֶצֶף וּבְנֵי־עֶדֶן אֲשֶׁר בִּתְלַאשָּׂר׃
|
12. Have the gods H430 of the nations H1471 delivered H5337 them which H834 my fathers H1 have destroyed H7843 ; as H853 Gozan H1470 , and Haran H2771 , and Rezeph H7530 , and the children H1121 of Eden H5729 which H834 were in Thelasar H8515 ?
|
|
13. אַיֹּו מֶלֶךְ־חֲמָת וּמֶלֶךְ אַרְפָּד וּמֶלֶךְ לָעִיר סְפַרְוָיִם הֵנַע וְעִוָּה׃
|
13. Where H346 is the king H4428 of Hamath H2574 , and the king H4428 of Arpad H774 , and the king H4428 of the city H5892 of Sepharvaim H5617 , of Hena H2012 , and Ivah H5755 ?
|
|
14. וַיִּקַּח חִזְקִיָּהוּ אֶת־הַסְּפָרִים מִיַּד הַמַּלְאָכִים וַיִּקְרָאֵם וַיַּעַל בֵּית יְהוָה וַיִּפְרְשֵׂהוּ חִזְקִיָּהוּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה׃ פ
|
14. And Hezekiah H2396 received H3947 H853 the letter H5612 of the hand H4480 H3027 of the messengers H4397 , and read H7121 it : and Hezekiah H2396 went up H5927 into the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 , and spread H6566 it before H6440 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
15. וַיִּתְפַּלֵּל חִזְקִיָּהוּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַיֹּאמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרֻבִים אַתָּה־הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים לְבַדְּךָ לְכֹל מַמְלְכֹות הָאָרֶץ אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ׃
|
15. And Hezekiah H2396 prayed H6419 before H6440 the LORD H3068 , and said H559 , O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , which dwellest H3427 between the cherubims H3742 , thou H859 art the God H430 , even thou alone H905 , of all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 ; thou H859 hast made H6213 H853 heaven H8064 and earth H776 .
|
|
16. הַטֵּה יְהוָה ׀ אָזְנְךָ וּשֲׁמָע פְּקַח יְהוָה עֵינֶיךָ וּרְאֵה וּשְׁמַע אֵת דִּבְרֵי סַנְחֵרִיב אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחֹו לְחָרֵף אֱלֹהִים חָי׃
|
16. LORD H3068 , bow down H5186 thine ear H241 , and hear H8085 : open H6491 , LORD H3068 , thine eyes H5869 , and see H7200 : and hear H8085 H853 the words H1697 of Sennacherib H5576 , which H834 hath sent H7971 him to reproach H2778 the living H2416 God H430 .
|
|
17. אָמְנָם יְהוָה הֶחֱרִיבוּ מַלְכֵי אַשּׁוּר אֶת־הַגֹּויִם וְאֶת־אַרְצָם׃
|
17. Of a truth H546 , LORD H3068 , the kings H4428 of Assyria H804 have destroyed H2717 the nations H1471 and H853 their lands H776 ,
|
|
18. וְנָתְנוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵיהֶם בָּאֵשׁ כִּי לֹא אֱלֹהִים הֵמָּה כִּי אִם־מַעֲשֵׂה יְדֵי־אָדָם עֵץ וָאֶבֶן וַיְאַבְּדוּם׃
|
18. And have cast H5414 H853 their gods H430 into the fire H784 : for H3588 they H1992 were no H3808 gods H430 , but H3588 H518 the work H4639 of men H120 's hands H3027 , wood H6086 and stone H68 : therefore they have destroyed H6 them.
|
|
19. וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ הֹושִׁיעֵנוּ נָא מִיָּדֹו וְיֵדְעוּ כָּל־מַמְלְכֹות הָאָרֶץ כִּי אַתָּה יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים לְבַדֶּךָ׃ ס
|
19. Now H6258 therefore , O LORD H3068 our God H430 , I beseech thee H4994 , save H3467 thou us out of his hand H4480 H3027 , that all H3605 the kingdoms H4467 of the earth H776 may know H3045 that H3588 thou H859 art the LORD H3068 God H430 , even thou only H905 .
|
|
20. וַיִּשְׁלַח יְשַׁעְיָהוּ בֶן־אָמֹוץ אֶל־חִזְקִיָּהוּ לֵאמֹר כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר הִתְפַּלַּלְתָּ אֵלַי אֶל־סַנְחֵרִב מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר שָׁמָעְתִּי׃
|
20. Then Isaiah H3470 the son H1121 of Amoz H531 sent H7971 to H413 Hezekiah H2396 , saying H559 , Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 , That which H834 thou hast prayed H6419 to H413 me against H413 Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 of Assyria H804 I have heard H8085 .
|
|
21. זֶה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר־דִּבֶּר יְהוָה עָלָיו בָּזָה לְךָ לָעֲגָה לְךָ בְּתוּלַת בַּת־צִיֹּון אַחֲרֶיךָ רֹאשׁ הֵנִיעָה בַּת יְרוּשָׁלִָם׃
|
21. This H2088 is the word H1697 that H834 the LORD H3068 hath spoken H1696 concerning H5921 him ; The virgin H1330 the daughter H1323 of Zion H6726 hath despised H959 thee, and laughed thee to scorn H3932 ; the daughter H1323 of Jerusalem H3389 hath shaken H5128 her head H7218 at H310 thee.
|
|
22. אֶת־מִי חֵרַפְתָּ וְגִדַּפְתָּ וְעַל־מִי הֲרִימֹותָ קֹּול וַתִּשָּׂא מָרֹום עֵינֶיךָ עַל־קְדֹושׁ יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
|
22. H853 Whom H4310 hast thou reproached H2778 and blasphemed H1442 ? and against H5921 whom H4310 hast thou exalted H7311 thy voice H6963 , and lifted up H5375 thine eyes H5869 on high H4791 ? even against H5921 the Holy H6918 One of Israel H3478 .
|
|
23. בְּיַד מַלְאָכֶיךָ חֵרַפְתָּ ׀ אֲדֹנָי וַתֹּאמֶר בְּרֶכֶב כ (בְּרֹב ק) רִכְבִּי אֲנִי עָלִיתִי מְרֹום הָרִים יַרְכְּתֵי לְבָנֹון וְאֶכְרֹת קֹומַת אֲרָזָיו מִבְחֹור בְּרֹשָׁיו וְאָבֹואָה מְלֹון קִצֹּה יַעַר כַּרְמִלֹּו׃
|
23. By H3027 thy messengers H4397 thou hast reproached H2778 the Lord H136 , and hast said H559 , With the multitude H7230 of my chariots H7393 I H589 am come up H5927 to the height H4791 of the mountains H2022 , to the sides H3411 of Lebanon H3844 , and will cut down H3772 the tall H6967 cedar trees H730 thereof, and the choice H4004 fir trees H1265 thereof : and I will enter H935 into the lodgings H4411 of his borders H7093 , and into the forest H3293 of his Carmel H3760 .
|
|
24. אֲנִי קַרְתִּי וְשָׁתִיתִי מַיִם זָרִים וְאַחְרִב בְּכַף־פְּעָמַי כֹּל יְאֹרֵי מָצֹור׃
|
24. I H589 have digged H6979 and drunk H8354 strange H2114 waters H4325 , and with the sole H3709 of my feet H6471 have I dried up H2717 all H3605 the rivers H2975 of besieged places H4693 .
|
|
25. הֲלֹא־שָׁמַעְתָּ לְמֵרָחֹוק אֹתָהּ עָשִׂיתִי לְמִימֵי קֶדֶם וִיצַרְתִּיהָ עַתָּה הֲבֵיאתִיהָ וּתְהִי לַהְשֹׁות גַּלִּים נִצִּים עָרִים בְּצֻרֹות׃
|
25. Hast thou not H3808 heard H8085 long ago H4480 H7350 how I have done H6213 it, and of ancient times H4480 H3117 H6924 that I have formed H3335 it? now H6258 have I brought it to pass H935 , that thou shouldest be H1961 to lay waste H7582 fenced H1219 cities H5892 into ruinous H5327 heaps H1530 .
|
|
26. וְיֹשְׁבֵיהֶן קִצְרֵי־יָד חַתּוּ וַיֵּבֹשׁוּ הָיוּ עֵשֶׂב שָׂדֶה וִירַק דֶּשֶׁא חֲצִיר גַּגֹּות וּשְׁדֵפָה לִפְנֵי קָמָה׃
|
26. Therefore their inhabitants H3427 were of small H7116 power H3027 , they were dismayed H2865 and confounded H954 ; they were H1961 as the grass H6212 of the field H7704 , and as the green H3419 herb H1877 , as the grass H2682 on the housetops H1406 , and as corn blasted H7711 before H6440 it be grown up H7054 .
|
|
27. וְשִׁבְתְּךָ וְצֵאתְךָ וּבֹאֲךָ יָדָעְתִּי וְאֵת הִתְרַגֶּזְךָ אֵלָי׃
|
27. But I know H3045 thy abode H3427 , and thy going out H3318 , and thy coming in H935 , and thy rage H7264 against H413 me.
|
|
28. יַעַן הִתְרַגֶּזְךָ אֵלַי וְשַׁאֲנַנְךָ עָלָה בְאָזְנָי וְשַׂמְתִּי חַחִי בְּאַפֶּךָ וּמִתְגִּי בִּשְׂפָתֶיךָ וַהֲשִׁבֹתִיךָ בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר־בָּאתָ בָּהּ׃
|
28. Because H3282 thy rage H7264 against H413 me and thy tumult H7600 is come up H5927 into mine ears H241 , therefore I will put H7760 my hook H2397 in thy nose H639 , and my bridle H4964 in thy lips H8193 , and I will turn thee back H7725 by the way H1870 by which H834 thou camest H935 .
|
|
29. וְזֶה־לְּךָ הָאֹות אָכֹול הַשָּׁנָה סָפִיחַ וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית סָחִישׁ וּבַשָּׁנָה הַשְּׁלִישִׁית זִרְעוּ וְקִצְרוּ וְנִטְעוּ כְרָמִים וְאִכְלוּ פִרְיָם׃
|
29. And this H2088 shall be a sign H226 unto thee , Ye shall eat H398 this year H8141 such things as grow of themselves H5599 , and in the second H8145 year H8141 that which springeth of the same H7823 ; and in the third H7992 year H8141 sow H2232 ye , and reap H7114 , and plant H5193 vineyards H3754 , and eat H398 the fruits H6529 thereof.
|
|
30. וְיָסְפָה פְּלֵיטַת בֵּית־יְהוּדָה הַנִּשְׁאָרָה שֹׁרֶשׁ לְמָטָּה וְעָשָׂה פְרִי לְמָעְלָה׃
|
30. And the remnant H7604 that is escaped H6413 of the house H1004 of Judah H3063 shall yet again H3254 take root H8328 downward H4295 , and bear H6213 fruit H6529 upward H4605 .
|
|
31. כִּי מִירוּשָׁלִַם תֵּצֵא שְׁאֵרִית וּפְלֵיטָה מֵהַר צִיֹּון קִנְאַת יְהוָה (צְבָאֹות ק) תַּעֲשֶׂה־זֹּאת׃ ס
|
31. For H3588 out of Jerusalem H4480 H3389 shall go forth H3318 a remnant H7611 , and they that escape H6413 out of mount H4480 H2022 Zion H6726 : the zeal H7068 of the LORD H3068 of hosts shall do H6213 this H2063 .
|
|
32. לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אֶל־מֶלֶךְ אַשּׁוּר לֹא יָבֹא אֶל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת וְלֹא־יֹורֶה שָׁם חֵץ וְלֹא־יְקַדְּמֶנָּה מָגֵן וְלֹא־יִשְׁפֹּךְ עָלֶיהָ סֹלְלָה׃
|
32. Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 concerning H413 the king H4428 of Assyria H804 , He shall not H3808 come H935 into H413 this H2063 city H5892 , nor H3808 shoot H3384 an arrow H2671 there H8033 , nor H3808 come before H6923 it with shield H4043 , nor H3808 cast H8210 a bank H5550 against H5921 it.
|
|
33. בַּדֶּרֶךְ אֲשֶׁר־יָבֹא בָּהּ יָשׁוּב וְאֶל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת לֹא יָבֹא נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃
|
33. By the way H1870 that H834 he came H935 , by the same shall he return H7725 , and shall not H3808 come H935 into H413 this H2063 city H5892 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
34. וְגַנֹּותִי אֶל־הָעִיר הַזֹּאת לְהֹושִׁיעָהּ לְמַעֲנִי וּלְמַעַן דָּוִד עַבְדִּי׃
|
34. For I will defend H1598 H413 this H2063 city H5892 , to save H3467 it , for mine own sake H4616 , and for my servant H5650 David H1732 's sake H4616 .
|
|
35. וַיְהִי בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא וַיֵּצֵא ׀ מַלְאַךְ יְהוָה וַיַּךְ בְּמַחֲנֵה אַשּׁוּר מֵאָה שְׁמֹונִים וַחֲמִשָּׁה אָלֶף וַיַּשְׁכִּימוּ בַבֹּקֶר וְהִנֵּה כֻלָּם פְּגָרִים מֵתִים׃
|
35. And it came to pass H1961 that H1931 night H3915 , that the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 went out H3318 , and smote H5221 in the camp H4264 of the Assyrians H804 a hundred H3967 fourscore H8084 and five H2568 thousand H505 : and when they arose early H7925 in the morning H1242 , behold H2009 , they were all H3605 dead H4191 corpses H6297 .
|
|
36. וַיִּסַּע וַיֵּלֶךְ וַיָּשָׁב סַנְחֵרִיב מֶלֶךְ־אַשּׁוּר וַיֵּשֶׁב בְּנִינְוֵה׃
|
36. So Sennacherib H5576 king H4428 of Assyria H804 departed H5265 , and went H1980 and returned H7725 , and dwelt H3427 at Nineveh H5210 .
|
|
37. וַיְהִי הוּא מִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה בֵּית ׀ נִסְרֹךְ אֱלֹהָיו וְאַדְרַמֶּלֶךְ וְשַׂרְאֶצֶר (בָּנָיו ק) הִכֻּהוּ בַחֶרֶב וְהֵמָּה נִמְלְטוּ אֶרֶץ אֲרָרָט וַיִּמְלֹךְ אֵסַר־חַדֹּן בְּנֹו תַּחְתָּיו׃ פ
|
37. And it came to pass H1961 , as he H1931 was worshiping H7812 in the house H1004 of Nisroch H5268 his god H430 , that Adrammelech H152 and Sharezer H8272 his sons H1121 smote H5221 him with the sword H2719 : and they H1992 escaped H4422 into the land H776 of Armenia H780 . And Esarhaddon H634 his son H1121 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 .
