1At nangyari, nang marinig ng haring Ezechias ay hinapak niya ang kaniyang mga suot, at nagbalot ng kayong magaspang, at pumasok sa bahay ng Panginoon. 2At kaniyang sinugo si Eliacim, na katiwala sa bahay, at si Sebna na kalihim, at ang mga matanda sa mga saserdote, na may balot na kayong magaspang, kay Isaias na propeta na anak ni Amoz. 3At sinabi nila sa kaniya, Ganito ang sabi ni Ezechias, Ang araw na ito ay kaarawan ng kabagabagan, at ng pagsaway, at ng paghamak: sapagka't ang mga anak ay dumating sa kapanganakan, at walang kalakasang ipanganak. 4Marahil ay pakikinggan ng Panginoon mong Dios ang mga salita ni Rabsaces, na siyang sinugo ng kaniyang panginoon na hari sa Asiria upang tungayawin ang buhay na Dios, at sansalain ang mga salita na narinig ng Panginoon mong Dios: kaya't ilakas mo ang iyong dalangin dahil sa nalabi na naiwan. 5Sa gayo'y ang mga lingkod ng haring Ezechias ay naparoon kay Isaias. 6At sinabi ni Isaias sa kanila, Ganito ang inyong sasabihin sa inyong panginoon, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Huwag kang matakot sa mga salita na iyong narinig, na ipinanungayaw sa akin ng mga lingkod ng hari sa Asiria. 7Narito, ako'y maglalagay ng espiritu sa kaniya, at siya'y makakarinig ng kaingay, at babalik sa kaniyang sariling lupain; at aking ipabubuwal siya sa pamamagitan ng tabak sa kaniyang sariling lupain. 8Sa gayo'y bumalik si Rabsaces, at nasumpungan ang hari sa Asiria na nakikipagdigma laban sa Libna: sapagka't nabalitaan niya na kaniyang nilisan ang Lachis. 9At kaniyang narinig na sinabi tungkol kay Tirhakah na hari sa Etiopia, Siya'y lumabas upang makipaglaban sa iyo. At nang kaniyang marinig, siya'y nagsugo ng mga sugo kay Ezechias, na sinasabi, 10Ganito ang inyong sasalitain kay Ezechias na hari sa Juda, na sasabihin, Huwag kang padaya sa iyong Dios na iyong tinitiwalaan, na sabihin, Ang Jerusalem ay hindi mapapasa kamay ng hari sa Asiria. 11Narito nabalitaan mo kung ano ang ginawa ng mga hari sa Asiria sa lahat ng lupain, na yao'y sinira ng lubos: at maliligtas ka baga? 12Iniligtas baga sila ng mga dios ng mga bansa, na siyang nilipol ng aking mga magulang, gaya ng Gozan, ng Haran; at ng Rezeph, at ng mga anak ni Eden, na nangasa Thelasar? 13Saan nandoon ang hari sa Hamath, at ang hari sa Arphad, at ang hari ng bayan ng Sepharvaim, ng Henah, at ng Hivah? 14At tinanggap ni Ezechias ang sulat sa kamay ng mga sugo, at binasa: at umahon si Ezechias sa bahay ng Panginoon, at binuklat sa harap ng Panginoon. 15At si Ezechias ay dumalangin sa Panginoon, na kaniyang sinabi, 16Oh Panginoon ng mga hukbo, na Dios ng Israel, na nakaupo sa mga kerubin, ikaw ang Dios, ikaw lamang, sa lahat ng kaharian sa lupa; ikaw ang gumawa ng langit at lupa. 17Ikiling mo ang iyong pakinig, Oh Panginoon, at iyong dinggin; idilat mo ang iyong mga mata, Oh Panginoon, at tumingin ka; at pakinggan mo ang lahat na salita ni Sennacherib, na kaniyang ipinasabi upang ipanungayaw sa buhay na Dios. 18Sa katotohanan, Panginoon, ang lahat na bansa ay sinira ng mga hari sa Asiria at ang kanikanilang lupain. 19At inihagis ang kanikanilang mga dios sa apoy: sapagka't sila'y hindi mga dios, kundi mga gawa ng mga kamay ng mga tao, kahoy at bato; kaya't kanilang sinira. 20Ngayon nga, Oh Panginoon naming Dios, iligtas mo kami sa kaniyang kamay, upang makilala ng lahat na kaharian sa lupa, na ikaw ang Panginoon, ikaw lamang. 21Nang magkagayo'y nagsugo si Isaias na anak ni Amoz kay Ezechias, na nagsasabi, Ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng Israel, Yamang ikaw ay dumalangin sa akin laban kay Sennacherib na hari sa Asiria. 22Ito ang salita na sinalita ng Panginoon tungkol sa kaniya: Hinamak ka ng anak na dalaga ng Sion, at tinawanan kang mainam; iginalaw ng anak na babae ng Jerusalem ang kaniyang ulo sa iyo. 23Sino ang iyong pinulaan at tinungayaw? at laban kanino itinaas mo ang iyong tinig at ipinandilat mo ang iyong mga mata ng mataas? laban nga sa Banal ng Israel. 24Sa pamamagitan ng iyong mga lingkod ay iyong pinulaan ang Panginoon, at nagsabi ka, Sa karamihan ng aking mga karo ay nakaahon ako sa kataasan ng mga bundok, sa mga kaloobloobang bahagi ng Libano; at aking puputulin ang mga matayog na cedro niyaon, at ang mga piling puno ng abeto niyaon: at ako'y papasok sa pinakataluktok na kataasan, ng gubat ng kaniyang mabuting bukid. 25Ako'y humukay at uminom ng tubig, at aking tutuyuin ng talampakan ng aking mga paa ang lahat ng mga ilog ng Egipto. 26Hindi mo baga nabalitaan kung paanong aking ginawa na malaon na, at aking pinanukala ng una? ngayo'y aking pinapangyari, upang iyong sirain ang mga bayang nakukutaan na magiging mga guhong bunton. 27Kaya't ang kanilang mga mananahan ay may munting kapangyarihan, sila'y nanganglupaypay at nangatulig; sila'y parang damo sa bukid, at sariwang gugulayin, parang damo sa mga bubungan, at parang bukid ng trigo bago tumaas. 28Nguni't talastas ko ang iyong pagupo, at ang iyong paglabas, at ang iyong pagpasok, at ang iyong galit laban sa akin. 29Dahil sa iyong galit laban sa akin, at dahil sa iyong kapalaluan ay nanuot sa aking mga pakinig, kaya't ilalagay ko ang aking taga ng bingwit sa iyong ilong, at ang aking paningkaw sa iyong mga labi, at pababalikin kita sa daan na iyong pinanggalingan. 30At ito ang magiging tanda sa iyo: kayo'y magsisikain sa taong ito ng tumutubo sa kaniyang sarili, at sa ikalawang taon ay ng tumubo doon; at sa ikatlong taon ay kayo'y mangaghasik, at magsiani, at mangagtanim ng mga ubasan, at kumain ng bunga niyaon. 31At ang nalabi na nakatanan sa sangbahayan ni Juda ay maguugat uli sa ilalim, at magbubunga sa itaas. 32Sapagka't sa Jerusalem ay lalabas ang nalabi, at mula sa bundok ng Sion ay silang magtatanan. Isasagawa ito ng sikap ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo. 33Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon tungkol sa hari sa Asiria, Siya'y hindi paririto sa bayang ito o magpapahilagpos man ng pana diyan, o haharap man siya diyan na may kalasag, o mahahagis ang bunton laban diyan. 34Sa daan na kaniyang pinanggalingan, doon din siya babalik, at hindi siya paririto sa bayang ito, sabi ng Panginoon. 35Sapagka't aking ipagsasanggalang ang bayang ito upang iligtas, dahil sa akin, at dahil sa aking lingkod na si David. 36At ang anghel ng Panginoon ay lumabas, at nanakit sa kampamento ng mga taga Asiria nang isang daan at walongpu't limang libo: at nang ang mga tao ay magsibangong maaga sa kinaumagahan, narito, ang lahat ay mga katawang bangkay. 37Sa gayo'y umalis si Sennacherib na hari sa Asiria, at yumaon at umuwi, at tumahan sa Ninive, 38At nangyari, nang siya'y sumasamba sa bahay ni Nisroch na kaniyang dios, na sinugatan siya ng tabak ni Adremelech at ni Sarezer na kaniyang mga anak at sila'y nagtanan sa lupain ng Ararat. At si Esarhadon na kaniyang anak ay naghari na kahalili niya.
1When king Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into Yahweh’s house. 2He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz. 3They said to him, “Thus says Hezekiah, ‘This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth. 4It may be Yahweh your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’” 5So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah. 6Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. 7Behold, I will put a spirit in him and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’” 8So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish. 9He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, 10“Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.” 11Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered? 12Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar? 13Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’” 14Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Yahweh’s house, and spread it before Yahweh. 15Hezekiah prayed to Yahweh, saying, 16“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth. 17Turn your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God. 18Truly, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land, 19and 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. 20Now therefore, Yahweh our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yahweh, even you only.” 21Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, 22this is the word which Yahweh has spoken concerning him. The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you. 23Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel. 24By your servants, have you defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice fir trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field. 25I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.” 26Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps. 27Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown. 28But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me. 29Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came. 30This shall be the sign to you. You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit. 31The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. 32For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.’ 33Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it. 34By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come to this city,’ says Yahweh. 35‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’” 36Yahweh’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies. 37So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there. 38As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
1En het geschiedde, als de koning Hizkia dat hoorde, zo scheurde hij zijn klederen, en bedekte zich met een zak, en ging in het huis des HEEREN. 2Daarna zond hij Eljakim, den hofmeester, en Sebna, den schrijver, en de oudsten der priesteren, met zakken bedekt, tot Jesaja, den profeet, den zoon van Amoz; 3En zij zeiden tot hem: Alzo zegt Hizkia: Deze dag is een dag der benauwdheid, en der schelding, en der lastering; want de kinderen zijn gekomen tot aan de geboorte, en er is geen kracht om te baren. 4Misschien zal de HEERE, uw God, horen de woorden van Rabsake, denwelken zijn heer, de koning van Assyrie, gezonden heeft, om den levenden God te honen, en te schelden met woorden, die de HEERE, uw God, gehoord heeft; hef dan een gebed op voor het overblijfsel, dat gevonden wordt. 5En de knechten van den koning Hizkia kwamen tot Jesaja. 6En Jesaja zeide tot hen: Zo zult gijlieden tot uw heer zeggen: Zo zegt de HEERE: Vrees niet voor de woorden, die gij gehoord hebt, waarmede Mij de dienaars des konings van Assyrie gelasterd hebben. 7Zie, Ik zal een geest in hem geven, dat hij een gerucht horen zal, en weder in zijn land keren; en Ik zal hem door het zwaard in zijn land vellen. 8Zo kwam Rabsake weder, en hij vond den koning van Assyrie strijdende tegen Libna; want hij had gehoord, dat hij van Lachis vertrokken was. 9Als hij nu hoorde van Tirhaka, den koning van Cusch, zeggen: Hij is uitgetogen, om tegen u te strijden; toen hij zulks hoorde, zo zond hij weder boden tot Hizkia, zeggende: 10Zo zult gijlieden spreken tot Hizkia, den koning van Juda, zeggende: Laat u uw God niet bedriegen, op Welken gij vertrouwt, zeggende: Jeruzalem zal in de hand des konings van Assyrie niet gegeven worden. 11Zie, gij hebt gehoord, wat de koningen van Assyrie aan alle landen gedaan hebben, die verbannende; en zoudt gij gered worden? 12Hebben de goden der volken die mijn vaders verdorven hebben, dezelven gered, als Gozan, en Haran, en Rezef, en de kinderen van Eden, die in Telasser waren? 13Waar is de koning van Hamath, en de koning van Arpad, en de koning der stad Sefarvaim, Hena en Ivva? 14Als nu Hizkia de brieven uit der boden hand ontvangen, en die gelezen had, ging hij op in het huis des HEEREN; en Hizkia breidde die uit voor het aangezicht des HEEREN. 15En Hizkia bad tot den HEERE, zeggende: 16O HEERE der heirscharen, Gij, God van Israel, Die tussen de cherubim woont! Gij Zelf, Gij alleen zijt de God van alle koninkrijken der aarde; Gij hebt den hemel en de aarde gemaakt! 17O HEERE! neig Uw oor en hoor, HEERE! doe Uw ogen open, en zie; en hoor al de woorden van Sanherib, die gezonden heeft om den levenden God te honen. 18Waarlijk, HEERE! hebben de koningen van Assyrie al de landen, mitsgaders derzelver landerijen verwoest; 19En hebben hun goden in het vuur geworpen; want zij waren geen goden, maar het werk van mensenhanden, hout en steen; daarom hebben zij die verdorven. 20Nu dan, HEERE, onze God, verlos ons uit zijn hand, zo zullen alle koninkrijken der aarde weten, dat Gij alleen de HEERE zijt. 21Toen zond Jesaja, de zoon van Amoz, tot Hizkia, om te zeggen: Alzo zegt de HEERE, de God Israels: Dat gij tot Mij gebeden hebt tegen Sanherib, den koning van Assyrie, heb Ik gehoord. 22Dit is het woord, dat de HEERE over hem gesproken heeft: De jonkvrouw, de dochter van Sion, veracht u, zij bespot u, de dochter van Jeruzalem schudt het hoofd achter u. 23Wien hebt gij gehoond, en gij gelasterd, en tegen Wien hebt gij de stem verheven, en uw ogen omhoog opgeheven? Tegen den Heilige Israels! 24Door middel uwer dienstknechten hebt gij den HEERE gehoond, en gezegd: Ik heb met de menigte mijner wagenen beklommen de hoogte der bergen, de zijden van Libanon; en ik zal zijn hoge cederbomen en zijn uitgelezen dennebomen afhouwen; en zal komen tot zijn uiterste hoogte, in het woud zijns schonen velds. 25Ik heb gegraven en de wateren gedronken; en ik heb met mijn voetzolen alle rivieren der belegerde plaatsen verdroogd. 26Hebt gij niet gehoord, dat Ik zulks lang te voren gedaan heb, en dat van de oude dagen af geformeerd heb? Nu heb Ik dat doen komen, dat gij zoudt zijn, om de vaste steden te verstoren tot woeste hopen. 27Daarom waren haar inwoners handeloos, zij waren verslagen en beschaamd; zij waren als het gras des velds en de groene grasscheutjes, als het hooi der daken, en het brandkoren, eer het overeind staat. 28Maar Ik weet uw zitten, en uw uitgaan, en uw inkomen, en uw woeden tegen Mij. 29Om uw woeden tegen Mij, en dat uw woeling voor Mijn oren opgekomen is, zo zal Ik Mijn haak in uw neus leggen, en Mijn gebit in uw lippen, en Ik zal u doen wederkeren door dien weg, door denwelken gij gekomen zijt. 30En dat zij u een teken, dat men in dit jaar, wat van zelf gewassen is, eten zal, en in het tweede jaar, wat daarvan weder uitspruit; maar zaait in het derde jaar, en maait, en plant wijngaarden, en eet hun vruchten. 31Want het ontkomene, dat overgebleven is van het huis van Juda, zal wederom nederwaarts wortelen, en het zal opwaarts vrucht dragen. 32Want van Jeruzalem zal het overblijfsel uitgaan, en het ontkomene van den berg Sion; de ijver des HEEREN der heirscharen zal dit doen. 33Daarom, zo zegt de HEERE van den koning van Assyrie: Hij zal in deze stad niet komen, noch daar een pijl inschieten; ook zal hij met geen schild daarvoor komen, en zal geen wal daartegen opwerpen. 34Door den weg, dien hij gekomen is, door dien zal hij wederkeren; maar in deze stad zal hij niet komen, zegt de HEERE. 35Want Ik zal deze stad beschermen, om die te verlossen, om Mijnentwil, en om Davids, Mijns knechts wil. 36Toen voer de engel des HEEREN uit, en sloeg in het leger van Assyrie honderd vijf en tachtig duizend. En toen zij zich des morgens vroeg opmaakten, ziet, die allen waren dode lichamen. 37Zo vertrok Sanherib, de koning van Assyrie, en toog henen, en keerde weder; en hij bleef te Nineve. 38Het geschiedde nu, als hij in het huis van Nisroch, zijn god, zich nederboog, dat Adramelech en Sarezer, zijn zonen, hem met het zwaard versloegen; doch zij ontkwamen in het land van Ararat; en Esar-Haddon, zijn zoon, werd koning in zijn plaats.
