II Chronicles 32

After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.

Μετα τα πραγματα ταυτα και την αληθειαν ταυτην, ηλθε Σενναχειρειμ ο βασιλευς της Ασσυριας, και εισηλθεν εις τον Ιουδαν και εστρατοπεδευσεν εναντιον των οχυρων πολεων και ειπε να υποταξη αυτας εις εαυτον.

And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

Και ιδων ο Εζεκιας, οτι ο Σενναχειρειμ ηλθε και ο σκοπος αυτου ητο να πολεμηση εναντιον της Ιερουσαλημ,

He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help him.

συνεβουλευθη μετα των αρχοντων αυτου και μετα των δυνατων αυτου, να εμφραξη τα υδατα των πηγων των εξω της πολεως και συνηργησαν μετ αυτου.

So there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?

Και συνηχθη λαος πολυς, και ενεφραξαν πασας τας πηγας και τον ποταμον τον �εοντα δια μεσου της γης, λεγων, Δια τι ελθοντες οι βασιλεις της Ασσυριας να ευρωσιν υδωρ πολυ;

Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.

Ενδυναμωθεις ετι ανωκοδομησεν ολον το τειχος το κεχαλασμενον και υψωσεν εως των πυργων, και αλλο τειχος εξω και επεσκευασε την Μιλλω της πολεως Δαβιδ, και εκαμεν οπλα πολλα και θυρεους.

And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,

Και εβαλε πολεμαρχους επι τον λαον, και συνηθροισεν αυτους προς εαυτον εις την πλατειαν της πυλης της πολεως και ελαλησε κατα την καρδιαν αυτων, λεγων,

Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:

Ενδυναμουσθε και ανδριζεσθε, μη φοβηθητε μηδε πτοηθητε απο προσωπου του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας, και απο προσωπου παντος του πληθους του μετ αυτου διοτι πλειοτεροι ειναι μεθ ημων παρα μετ αυτου

With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

μετ αυτου ειναι βραχιονες σαρκινοι μεθ ημων δε ειναι Κυριος ο Θεος ημων, δια να βοηθη ημας και να μαχηται τας μαχας ημων. Και ενεθαρρυνθη ο λαος εις τους λογους Εζεκιου του βασιλεως του Ιουδα.

After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him,) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,

Μετα ταυτα απεστειλεν ο Σενναχειρειμ βασιλευς της Ασσυριας τους δουλους αυτου εις Ιερουσαλημ, αυτος δε, εχων μεθ εαυτου πασαν την δυναμιν αυτου, επολιορκει την Λαχεις, προς Εζεκιαν τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα, και προς παντα τον Ιουδαν τον εν Ιερουσαλημ, λεγων,

Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

Ουτω λεγει Σενναχειρειμ ο βασιλευς της Ασσυριας Εις τι πεποιθοτες καθησθε, πολιορκουμενοι εν Ιερουσαλημ;

Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

Δεν σας απατα ο Εζεκιας δια να σας παραδωση εις θανατον απο πεινης και απο διψης, λεγων, Κυριος ο Θεος ημων θελει ελευθερωσει ημας εκ της χειρος του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας;

Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?

Αυτος ουτος ο Εζεκιας δεν εσηκωσε τους υψηλους αυτου τοπους και τα θυσιαστηρια αυτου και ειπε προς τον Ιουδαν και προς τον Ιερουσαλημ, λεγων, Εμπροσθεν ενος μονον θυσιαστηριου θελετε προσκυνει και επ αυτο θελετε θυμιαζει;

Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?

Δεν εξευρετε τι επραξα εγω και οι πατερες μου εις παντας τους λαους της γης; ηδυνηθησαν οι θεοι των εθνων της γης να λυτρωσωσι τους τοπους αυτων εκ της χειρος μου;

Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?

Τις εκ παντων των θεων των εθνων εκεινων, τα οποια οι πατερες μου εξωλοθρευσαν, ηδυνηθη να λυτρωση τον λαον αυτου εκ της χειρος μου, ωστε να δυνηθη ο Θεος υμων να λυτρωση υμας εκ της χειρος μου;

Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?

Τωρα λοιπον ας μη σας πλανα ο Εζεκιας, και ας μη σας απατα ουτως, και μη πιστευετε αυτον διοτι ουδεις θεος ουδενος εθνους η βασιλειας ηδυνηθη να λυτρωση τον λαον αυτου εκ της χειρος μου και εκ της χειρος των πατερων μου πολυ ολιγωτερον ο Θεος σας θελει σας λυτρωσει εκ της χειρος μου.

And his servants spake yet more against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

Και περισσοτερα ετι ελαλησαν οι δουλοι αυτου εναντιον Κυριου του Θεου και εναντιον του δουλου αυτου Εζεκιου.

He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.

Και επιστολας εγραψε δια να ονειδιση Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ και να λαληση κατ αυτου, λεγων, Καθως οι θεοι των εθνων της γης δεν ελυτρωσαν τον λαον αυτων εκ της χειρος μου, ουτω και ο Θεος του Εζεκιου δεν θελει λυτρωσει τον λαον αυτου εκ της χειρος μου.

Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.

Τοτε εβοησαν Ιουδαιστι, μετα φωνης μεγαλης, προς τον λαον της Ιερουσαλημ τον επι του τειχους, δια να φοβισωσιν αυτους και να ταραξωσιν αυτους, οπως κυριευσωσι την πολιν

And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.

και ελαλησαν κατα του Θεου της Ιερουσαλημ, καθως κατα των θεων των λαων της γης, οιτινες ειναι εργα χειρων ανθρωπων.

And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

Και προσευχηθη περι τουτων Εζεκιας ο βασιλευς και Ησαιας ο προφητης, ο υιος του Αμως, και εβοησαν προς τον ουρανον.

And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

Και απεστειλε Κυριος αγγελον, οστις ηφανισε παντας τους δυνατους εν ισχυι και τους αρχοντας και τους στρατηγους εν τω στρατοπεδω του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας. Και επεστρεψε με κατησχυμμενον προσωπον εις την γην αυτου. Και οτε εισηλθεν εις τον οικον του θεου αυτου, οι εξελθοντες εκ των σπλαγχνων αυτου εθανατωσαν αυτον εκει εν μαχαιρα.

Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every side.

Και εσωσεν ο Κυριος τον Εζεκιαν και τους κατοικους της Ιερουσαλημ εκ της χειρος Σενναχειρειμ του βασιλεως της Ασσυριας και εκ της χειρος παντων, και ησφαλισεν αυτους κυκλοθεν.

And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

Και εφεραν πολλοι δωρα προς τον Κυριον εις Ιερουσαλημ και πολυτιμα πραγματα προς Εζεκιαν τον βασιλεα του Ιουδα και εμεγαλυνθη εκτοτε ενωπιον παντων των εθνων.

In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.

Κατ εκεινας τας ημερας ηρρωστησεν ο Εζεκιας εως θανατου και προσευχηθη εις τον Κυριον και επηκουσεν αυτου και εδωκεν εις αυτον σημειον.

But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

Πλην δεν ανταπεδωκεν ο Εζεκιας κατα την εις αυτον ευεργεσιαν διοτι επηρθη η καρδια αυτου οθεν επηλθεν οργη επ αυτον και επι τον Ιουδαν και την Ιερουσαλημ.

Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

Και εταπεινωθη ο Εζεκιας δια την επαρσιν της καρδιας αυτου, αυτος και οι κατοικοι της Ιερουσαλημ, και δεν ηλθεν επ αυτους η οργη του Κυριου εν ταις ημεραις του Εζεκιου.

And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;

Απεκτησε δε ο Εζεκιας πλουτον και δοξαν πολλην σφοδρα και εκαμεν εις εαυτον θησαυρους αργυριου και χρυσιου και λιθων πολυτιμων και αρωματων και ασπιδων και παντος ειδους σκευων επιθυμητων

Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.

και αποθηκας δια το εισοδημα του σιτου και του οινου και του ελαιου και σταυλους δια παν ειδος κτηνων και μανδρας δια ποιμνια.

Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance very much.

Και εκαμεν εις εαυτον πολεις και απεκτησε προβατα και βοας εις πληθος διοτι ο Θεος εδωκεν εις αυτον περιουσιαν πολλην σφοδρα.

This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

Εφραξεν ετι αυτος ο Εζεκιας την ανω εξοδον των υδατων του Γιων, και διηυθυνεν αυτα κατω προς δυσμας της πολεως Δαβιδ. Και ευωδωθη ο Εζεκιας εις παντα τα εργα αυτου.

Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

Επι των πρεσβεων ομως των αρχοντων της Βαβυλωνος, οιτινες εστειλαν προς αυτον δια να ερευνησωσι περι του θαυματος του γενομενου εν τη γη, ο Θεος εγκατελιπεν αυτον, δια να δοκιμαση αυτον, ωστε να γνωριση παντα τα εν τη καρδια αυτου.

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

Αι δε λοιπαι πραξεις του Εζεκιου και τα ελεη αυτου, ιδου, ειναι γεγραμμενα εν τη ορασει Ησαιου του προφητου, υιου του Αμως, εν τω βιβλιω των βασιλεων Ιουδα και Ισραηλ.

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

Και εκοιμηθη ο Εζεκιας μετα των πατερων αυτου, και εθαψαν αυτον εν τω υψηλοτερω των ταφων των υιων Δαβιδ και πας ο Ιουδας και οι κατοικοι της Ιερουσαλημ εκαμον εις αυτον τιμας εν τω θανατω αυτου εβασιλευσε δε αντ αυτου Μανασσης ο υιος αυτου.
