Isaiah - Chapter: 36

>
36:1Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
36:2And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
36:3Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
36:4And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
36:5I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
36:6Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
36:7But if thou say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
36:8Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
36:9How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
36:10And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
36:11Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
36:12But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
36:13Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
36:14Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
36:15Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
36:16Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
36:17Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
36:18Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
36:19Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
36:20Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
36:21But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
36:22Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

 

36:1ויהי בארבע עשׂרה שׁנה למלך חזקיהו עלה סנחריב מלך אשׁור על כל ערי יהודה הבצרות ויתפשׂם׃
36:2וישׁלח מלך אשׁור את רב שׁקה מלכישׁ ירושׁלמה אל המלך חזקיהו בחיל כבד ויעמד בתעלת הברכה העליונה במסלת שׂדה כובס׃
36:3ויצא אליו אליקים בן חלקיהו אשׁר על הבית ושׁבנא הספר ויואח בן אסף המזכיר׃
36:4ויאמר אליהם רב שׁקה אמרו נא אל חזקיהו כה אמר המלך הגדול מלך אשׁור מה הבטחון הזה אשׁר בטחת׃
36:5אמרתי אך דבר שׂפתים עצה וגבורה למלחמה עתה על מי בטחת כי מרדת׃
36:6הנה בטחת על משׁענת הקנה הרצוץ הזה על מצרים אשׁר יסמך אישׁ עליו ובא בכפו ונקבה כן פרעה מלך מצרים לכל הבטחים עליו׃
36:7וכי תאמר אלי אל יהוה אלהינו בטחנו הלוא הוא אשׁר הסיר חזקיהו את במתיו ואת מזבחתיו ויאמר ליהודה ולירושׁלם לפני המזבח הזה תשׁתחוו׃
36:8ועתה התערב נא את אדני המלך אשׁור ואתנה לך אלפים סוסים אם תוכל לתת לך רכבים עליהם׃
36:9ואיך תשׁיב את פני פחת אחד עבדי אדני הקטנים ותבטח לך על מצרים לרכב ולפרשׁים׃
36:10ועתה המבלעדי יהוה עליתי על הארץ הזאת להשׁחיתה יהוה אמר אלי עלה אל הארץ הזאת והשׁחיתה׃
36:11ויאמר אליקים ושׁבנא ויואח אל רב שׁקה דבר נא אל עבדיך ארמית כי שׁמעים אנחנו ואל תדבר אלינו יהודית באזני העם אשׁר על החומה׃
36:12ויאמר רב שׁקה האל אדניך ואליך שׁלחני אדני לדבר את הדברים האלה הלא על האנשׁים הישׁבים על החומה לאכל את חראיהם ולשׁתות את שׁיניהם עמכם׃
36:13ויעמד רב שׁקה ויקרא בקול גדול יהודית ויאמר שׁמעו את דברי המלך הגדול מלך אשׁור׃
36:14כה אמר המלך אל ישׁא לכם חזקיהו כי לא יוכל להציל אתכם׃
36:15ואל יבטח אתכם חזקיהו אל יהוה לאמר הצל יצילנו יהוה לא תנתן העיר הזאת ביד מלך אשׁור׃
36:16אל תשׁמעו אל חזקיהו כי כה אמר המלך אשׁור עשׂו אתי ברכה וצאו אלי ואכלו אישׁ גפנו ואישׁ תאנתו ושׁתו אישׁ מי בורו׃
36:17עד באי ולקחתי אתכם אל ארץ כארצכם ארץ דגן ותירושׁ ארץ לחם וכרמים׃
36:18פן יסית אתכם חזקיהו לאמר יהוה יצילנו ההצילו אלהי הגוים אישׁ את ארצו מיד מלך אשׁור׃
36:19איה אלהי חמת וארפד איה אלהי ספרוים וכי הצילו את שׁמרון מידי׃
36:20מי בכל אלהי הארצות האלה אשׁר הצילו את ארצם מידי כי יציל יהוה את ירושׁלם מידי׃
36:21ויחרישׁו ולא ענו אתו דבר כי מצות המלך היא לאמר לא תענהו׃
36:22ויבא אליקים בן חלקיהו אשׁר על הבית ושׁבנא הסופר ויואח בן אסף המזכיר אל חזקיהו קרועי בגדים ויגידו לו את דברי רב שׁקה׃

 

36:1And it cometh to pass, in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, come up hath Sennacherib king of Asshur against all the fenced cities of Judah, and seizeth them.
36:2And the king of Asshur sendeth Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, unto the king Hezekiah, with a heavy force, and he standeth by the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller's field,
36:3and go forth unto him doth Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who `is' over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer.
36:4And Rabshakeh saith unto them, `Say ye, I pray you, unto Hezekiah, `Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur, What `is' this confidence in which thou hast confided?
36:5I have said: Only, a word of the lips! counsel and might `are' for battle: now, on whom hast thou trusted, that thou hast rebelled against me?
36:6`Lo, thou hast trusted on the staff of this broken reed -- on Egypt -- which a man leaneth on, and it hath gone into his hand, and pierced it -- so `is' Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.
36:7`And dost thou say unto me, Unto Jehovah our God we have trusted? is it not He, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath turned aside, and saith to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar ye do bow yourselves?
36:8`And now, negotiate, I pray thee, with my lord the king of Asshur, and I give to thee two thousand horses, if thou art able to put for thee riders on them.
36:9And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, and dost trust for thee on Egypt, for chariot and for horsemen?
36:10And now, without Jehovah have I come up against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up unto this land, and thou hast destroyed it.'
36:11And Eliakim saith -- and Shebna and Joah -- unto Rabshakeh, `Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants `in' Aramaean, for we are understanding; and do not speak unto us `in' Jewish, in the ears of the people who `are' on the wall.'
36:12And Rabshakeh saith, `Unto thy lord, and unto thee, hath my lord sent me to speak these words? is it not for the men -- those sitting on the wall to eat their own dung and to drink their own water with you?'
36:13And Rabshakeh standeth and calleth with a great voice `in' Jewish, and saith, `Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Asshur:
36:14Thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you;
36:15and let not Hezekiah make you trust unto Jehovah, saying, Jehovah doth certainly deliver us, this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
36:16`Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur, Make ye with me a blessing, and come out unto me, and eat ye each of his vine, and each of his fig-tree, and drink ye each the waters of his own well,
36:17till my coming in, and I have taken you unto a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards;
36:18lest Hezekiah doth persuade you, saying, Jehovah doth deliver us. `Have the gods of the nations delivered each his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?
36:19Where `are' the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where the gods of Sepharvaim, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?
36:20Who among all the gods of these lands `are' they who have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'
36:21And they keep silent, and have not answered him a word, for a command of the king is, saying, `Do not answer him.'
36:22And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who `is' over the house, cometh in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, unto Hezekiah with rent garments, and they declare to him the words of Rabshakeh.
