by Septuagint
[26] And they that dwelt in them were weak in hand, they quaked and were confounded, they became as grass of the field, or as the green herb, the grass growing on houses, and that which is trodden down by him that stands upon it.
[27] καὶ τὴν καθέδραν σου καὶ τὴν ἔξοδόν σου καὶ τὴν εἴσοδόν σου ἔγνων καὶ τὸν θυμόν σου ἐπ’ ἐμέ.
[27] But I know thy down-sitting, and thy going forth, and thy rage against me.
[28] διὰ τὸ ὀργισθῆναί σε ἐπ’ ἐμὲ καὶ τὸ στρῆνός σου ἀνέβη ἐν τοῖς ὠσίν μου καὶ θήσω τὰ ἄγκιστρά μου ἐν τοῖς μυκτῆρσίν σου καὶ χαλινὸν ἐν τοῖς χείλεσίν σου καὶ ἀποστρέψω σε ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἦλθες ἐν αὐτῇ.
[28] Because thou was angry against me, and thy fierceness is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hooks in thy nostrils, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
[29] καὶ τοῦτό σοι τὸ σημεῖον· φάγῃ τοῦτον τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν αὐτόματα καὶ τῷ ἔτει τῷ δευτέρῳ τὰ ἀνατέλλοντα· καὶ ἔτι τρίτῳ σπορὰ καὶ ἄμητος καὶ φυτεία ἀμπελώνων, καὶ φάγεσθε τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῶν.
[29] And this shall be a sign to thee; eat this year the things that grow of themselves, and in the second year the things which spring up: and in the third year let there be sowing, and reaping, and planting of vineyards, and eat ye the fruit of them.
[30] καὶ προσθήσει τὸ διασεσῳσμένον οἴκου Ιουδα τὸ ὑπολειφθὲν ῥίζαν κάτω καὶ ποιήσει καρπὸν ἄνω.
[30] And he shall increase him that has escaped of the house of Juda: and the remnant shall strike root beneath, and it shall produce fruit above.
[31] ὅτι ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ ἐξελεύσεται κατάλειμμα καὶ ἀνασῳζόμενος ἐξ ὄρους Σιων· ὁ ζῆλος κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων ποιήσει τοῦτο.
[31] For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and he that escapes from the mountain of Sion: the zeal of the Lord of host shall do this.
[32] οὐχ οὕτως· τάδε λέγει κύριος πρὸς βασιλέα Ἀσσυρίων Οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην καὶ οὐ τοξεύσει ἐκεῖ βέλος, καὶ οὐ προφθάσει αὐτὴν θυρεός, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκχέῃ πρὸς αὐτὴν πρόσχωμα·
[32] Is it not so?
Thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow there, neither shall a shield come against it, neither shall he heap a mound against it.
[33] τῇ ὁδῷ, ᾗ ἦλθεν, ἐν αὐτῇ ἀποστραφήσεται καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν ταύτην οὐκ εἰσελεύσεται, λέγει κύριος.
[33] By the way by which he comes, by it shall he return, and he shall not enter into this city, saith the Lord.
[34] καὶ ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης δι’ ἐμὲ καὶ διὰ Δαυιδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου.
[34] And I will defend this city as with a shield, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
[35] Καὶ ἐγένετο ἕως νυκτὸς καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἄγγελος κυρίου καὶ ἐπάταξεν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν Ἀσσυρίων ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα πέντε χιλιάδας· καὶ ὤρθρισαν τὸ πρωί, καὶ ἰδοὺ πάντες σώματα νεκρά.
[35] And it came to pass at night that the angel of the Lord went forth, an smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they rose early in the morning, and, behold, these were all dead corpses.
[36] καὶ ἀπῆρεν καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Σενναχηριμ βασιλεὺς Ἀσσυρίων καὶ ᾤκησεν ἐν Νινευη.
[36] And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians departed, and went and returned, and dwelt in Nineve.
[37] καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῦ προσκυνοῦντος ἐν οἴκῳ Νεσεραχ θεοῦ αὐτοῦ καὶ Αδραμελεχ καὶ Σαρασαρ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξαν αὐτὸν ἐν μαχαίρᾳ, καὶ αὐτοὶ ἐσώθησαν εἰς γῆν Αραρατ· καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Ασορδαν ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ αὐτοῦ.
[37] And it came to pass, while he was worshipping in the house of Meserach his god, that Adramelech and Sarasar his sons smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararath; and Asordan his son reigned in his stead.
CHAPTER 20
[1] Ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἠρρώστησεν Εζεκιας εἰς θάνατον. καὶ εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ησαιας υἱὸς Αμως ὁ προφήτης καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἔντειλαι τῷ οἴκῳ σου, ὅτι ἀποθνῄσκεις σὺ καὶ οὐ ζήσῃ.
[1] In those days was Ezekias sick even to death. And the prophet Esaias the son of Amos came in to him, and said to him, Thus saith the Lord, Give charge to thy household; for thou shalt die, and not live.
[2] καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν Εζεκιας τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ πρὸς τὸν τοῖχον καὶ ηὔξατο πρὸς κύριον λέγων
[2] And Ezekias turned to the wall, and prayed to the Lord, saying,
[3] Ὦ δή, κύριε, μνήσθητι δὴ ὅσα περιεπάτησα ἐνώπιόν σου ἐν ἀληθείᾳ καὶ ἐν καρδίᾳ πλήρει καὶ τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου ἐποίησα. καὶ ἔκλαυσεν Εζεκιας κλαυθμῷ μεγάλῳ.
[3] Lord, remember, I pray thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thine eyes. And Ezekias wept with a great weeping.
[4] καὶ ἦν Ησαιας ἐν τῇ αὐλῇ τῇ μέσῃ, καὶ ῥῆμα κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων
[4] And Esaias was in the middle court, and the word of the Lord came to him, saying,
[5] Ἐπίστρεψον καὶ ἐρεῖς πρὸς Εζεκιαν τὸν ἡγούμενον τοῦ λαοῦ μου Τάδε λέγει κύριος ὁ θεὸς Δαυιδ τοῦ πατρός σου Ἤκουσα τῆς προσευχῆς σου, εἶδον τὰ δάκρυά σου· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἰάσομαί σε, τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἀναβήσῃ εἰς οἶκον κυρίου,
[5] Turn back, and thou shalt say to Ezekias the ruler of my people, Thus saith the Lord God of thy father David, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up to the house of the Lord.
[6] καὶ προσθήσω ἐπὶ τὰς ἡμέρας σου πέντε καὶ δέκα ἔτη καὶ ἐκ χειρὸς βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων σώσω σε καὶ τὴν πόλιν ταύτην καὶ ὑπερασπιῶ ὑπὲρ τῆς πόλεως ταύτης δι’ ἐμὲ καὶ διὰ Δαυιδ τὸν δοῦλόν μου.
[6] And I will add to thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians, and I will defend this city for my own sake, and for my servant’s David sake.
[7] καὶ εἶπεν Λαβέτωσαν παλάθην σύκων καὶ ἐπιθέτωσαν ἐπὶ τὸ ἕλκος, καὶ ὑγιάσει.
[7] And he said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it upon the ulcer, and he shall be well.
[8] καὶ εἶπεν �
�ζεκιας πρὸς Ησαιαν Τί τὸ σημεῖον ὅτι ἰάσεταί με κύριος καὶ ἀναβήσομαι εἰς οἶκον κυρίου τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ;
[8] And Ezekias said to Esaias, What is the sign that the Lord will heal me, and I shall go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?
[9] καὶ εἶπεν Ησαιας Τοῦτο τὸ σημεῖον παρὰ κυρίου ὅτι ποιήσει κύριος τὸν λόγον, ὃν ἐλάλησεν· πορεύσεται ἡ σκιὰ δέκα βαθμούς, ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφῃ δέκα βαθμούς.
[9] And Esaias said, This is the sign from the Lord, that the Lord will perform the word which he has spoken, the shadow of the dial shall advance ten degrees: or if it should go back ten degrees this would also be the sign.
[10] καὶ εἶπεν Εζεκιας Κοῦφον τὴν σκιὰν κλῖναι δέκα βαθμούς· οὐχί, ἀλλ’ ἐπιστραφήτω ἡ σκιὰ δέκα βαθμοὺς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω.
[10] And Ezekias said, It is a light thing for the shadow to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return ten degrees backward on the dial.
[11] καὶ ἐβόησεν Ησαιας ὁ προφήτης πρὸς κύριον, καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν ἡ σκιὰ ἐν τοῖς ἀναβαθμοῖς εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω δέκα βαθμούς.
[11] And Esaias the prophet cried to the Lord: and the shadow returned back ten degrees on the dial.
[12] Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπέστειλεν Μαρωδαχβαλαδαν υἱὸς Βαλαδαν βασιλεὺς Βαβυλῶνος βιβλία καὶ μαναα πρὸς Εζεκιαν, ὅτι ἤκουσεν ὅτι ἠρρώστησεν Εζεκιας.
[12] At that time Marodach Baladan, son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Ezekias, because he had heard that Ezekias was sick.
[13] καὶ ἐχάρη ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς Εζεκιας καὶ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς ὅλον τὸν οἶκον τοῦ νεχωθα, τὸ ἀργύριον καὶ τὸ χρυσίον, τὰ ἀρώματα καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον τὸ ἀγαθόν, καὶ τὸν οἶκον τῶν σκευῶν καὶ ὅσα ηὑρέθη ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς αὐτοῦ· οὐκ ἦν λόγος, ὃν οὐκ ἔδειξεν αὐτοῖς Εζεκιας ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν πάσῃ τῇ ἐξουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
[13] And Ezekias rejoiced at them, and shewed all the house of his spices, the silver and the gold, the spices, and the fine oil, and the armory, and all that was found in his treasures: there was nothing which Ezekias did not shew them in his house, and in all his dominion.
[14] καὶ εἰσῆλθεν Ησαιας ὁ προφήτης πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα Εζεκιαν καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν Τί ἐλάλησαν οἱ ἄνδρες οὗτοι καὶ πόθεν ἥκασιν πρὸς σέ; καὶ εἶπεν Εζεκιας Ἐκ γῆς πόρρωθεν ἥκασιν πρός με, ἐκ Βαβυλῶνος.
[14] And Esaias the prophet went in to king Ezekias, and said to him, What said these men? and whence came they to thee? And Ezekias said, they came to me from a distant land, even from Babylon.
[15] καὶ εἶπεν Τί εἶδον ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου; καὶ εἶπεν Πάντα, ὅσα ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου, εἶδον· οὐκ ἦν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ μου ὃ οὐκ ἔδειξα αὐτοῖς, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ ἐν τοῖς θησαυροῖς μου.
[15] And he said, What saw they in thy house? And he said, They saw all things that are in my house: there was nothing in my house which I shewed not to them; yea, all that was in my treasures also.
[16] καὶ εἶπεν Ησαιας πρὸς Εζεκιαν Ἄκουσον λόγον κυρίου
[16] And Esaias said to Ezekias, Hear the word of the Lord:
[17] Ἰδοὺ ἡμέραι ἔρχονται καὶ λημφθήσεται πάντα τὰ ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου καὶ ὅσα ἐθησαύρισαν οἱ πατέρες σου ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης εἰς Βαβυλῶνα· καὶ οὐχ ὑπολειφθήσεται ῥῆμα, ὃ εἶπεν κύριος·
[17] Behold, the days come, that all things that are in thy house shall be taken, and all that thy fathers have treasured up until this day, to Babylon; and there shall not fail a word, which the Lord has spoken.
[18] καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου, οἳ ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ σοῦ, οὓς γεννήσεις, λήμψεται, καὶ ἔσονται εὐνοῦχοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ βασιλέως Βαβυλῶνος.
[18] And as for thy sons which shall come forth of thee, which thou shalt beget, the enemy shall take them, and they shall be eunuchs in the house of the king of Babylon.
[19] καὶ εἶπεν Εζεκιας πρὸς Ησαιαν Ἀγαθὸς ὁ λόγος κυρίου, ὃν ἐλάλησεν· ἔστω εἰρήνη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις μου.
[19] And Ezekias said to Esaias, Good is the word of the Lord which he has spoken: only let there be peace in my days.
[20] Καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν λόγων Εζεκιου καὶ πᾶσα ἡ δυναστεία αὐτοῦ καὶ ὅσα ἐποίησεν, τὴν κρήνην καὶ τὸν ὑδραγωγὸν καὶ εἰσήνεγκεν τὸ ὕδωρ εἰς τὴν πόλιν, οὐχὶ ταῦτα γεγραμμένα ἐπὶ βιβλίῳ λόγων τῶν ἡμερῶν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιν Ιουδα;
[20] And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and all his might, and all that he made, the fountain and the aqueduct, and how he brought water into the city, are not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
[21] καὶ ἐκοιμήθη Εζεκιας μετὰ τῶν πατέρων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει Δαυιδ, καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν Μανασσης υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἀντ αὐτοῦ.
[21] And Ezekias slept with his fathers: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
CHAPTER 21
[1] Υἱὸς δώδεκα ἐτῶν Μανασσης ἐν τῷ βασιλεύειν αὐτὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ πέντε ἔτη ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ, καὶ ὄνομα τῇ μητρὶ αὐτοῦ Οψιβα.
[1] Manasses was twelve years old when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Apsiba.
[2] καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου κατὰ τὰ βδελύγματα τῶν ἐθνῶν, ὧν ἐξῆρεν κύριος ἀπὸ προσώπου τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ,
[2] And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations which the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.
[3] καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τὰ ὑψηλά, ἃ κατέσπασεν Εζεκιας ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀνέστησεν θυσιαστήριον τῇ Βααλ καὶ ἐποίησεν ἄλση, καθὼς ἐποίησεν Αχααβ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ, καὶ προσεκύνησεν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ ἐδούλευσεν αὐτοῖς
[3] And he built again the high places, which Ezekias his father had demolished; and set up an altar to Baal, and made groves as Achaab king of Israel made them; and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.
[4] καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν θυσιαστήριον ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου, ὡς εἶπεν Ἐν Ιερουσαλημ θήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου,
[4] And he built an altar in the house of the Lord, whereas he had said, In Jerusalem I will place my name.
[5] καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν θυσιαστήριον πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ οὐρ
ανοῦ ἐν ταῖς δυσὶν αὐλαῖς οἴκου κυρίου
[5] And he built an altar to all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
[6] καὶ διῆγεν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ ἐν πυρὶ καὶ ἐκληδονίζετο καὶ οἰωνίζετο καὶ ἐποίησεν θελητὴν καὶ γνώστας· ἐπλήθυνεν τοῦ ποιεῖν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου παροργίσαι αὐτόν.
[6] And he caused his sons to pass through the fire, and used divination and auspices, and made groves, and multiplied wizards, so as to do that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
[7] καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸ γλυπτὸν τοῦ ἄλσους ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ, ᾧ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς Δαυιδ καὶ πρὸς Σαλωμων τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ Ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τούτῳ καὶ ἐν Ιερουσαλημ, ᾗ ἐξελεξάμην ἐκ πασῶν φυλῶν Ισραηλ, καὶ θήσω τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα
[7] And he set up the graven image of the grove in the house of which the Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I even place my name for ever.
[8] καὶ οὐ προσθήσω τοῦ σαλεῦσαι τὸν πόδα Ισραηλ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἧς ἔδωκα τοῖς πατράσιν αὐτῶν, οἵτινες φυλάξουσιν πάντα, ὅσα ἐνετειλάμην κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ἐντολήν, ἣν ἐνετείλατο αὐτοῖς ὁ δοῦλός μου Μωϋσῆς.
[8] And I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I gave to their fathers, even of those who shall keep all that I commanded, according to all the commandments which my servant Moses commanded them.
[9] καὶ οὐκ ἤκουσαν, καὶ ἐπλάνησεν αὐτοὺς Μανασσης τοῦ ποιῆσαι τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου ὑπὲρ τὰ ἔθνη, ἃ ἠφάνισεν κύριος ἐκ προσώπου υἱῶν Ισραηλ.
