1 Когда услышал это царь Езекия, то разодрал одежды свои и покрылся вретищем, и пошел в дом Господень;
1 When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into Yahweh’s house.
2 и послал Елиакима, начальника дворца, и Севну писца, и старших священников, покрытых вретищами, к пророку Исаии, сыну Амосову.
2 He 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.
3 И они сказали ему: так говорит Езекия: день скорби и наказания и посрамления день сей, ибо младенцы дошли до отверстия утробы матерней, а силы нет родить.
3 They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today 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.
4 Может быть, услышит Господь Бог твой слова Рабсака, которого послал царь Ассирийский, господин его, хулить Бога живаго и поносить словами, какие слышал Господь, Бог твой; вознеси же молитву об оставшихся, которые находятся еще в живых.
4 It 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.’”
5 И пришли слуги царя Езекии к Исаии.
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 И сказал им Исаия: так скажите господину вашему: так говорит Господь: не бойся слов, которые слышал ты, которыми поносили Меня слуги царя Ассирийского.
6 Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘Yahweh says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Вот, Я пошлю в него дух, и он услышит весть, и возвратится в землю свою, и Я поражу его мечом в земле его.
7 Behold, 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.”’”
8 И возвратился Рабсак и нашел царя Ассирийского воюющим против Ливны; ибо он слышал, что тот отошел от Лахиса.
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 И услышал он о Тиргаке, царе Ефиопском; ему сказали: вот, он вышел сразиться с тобою. Услышав это, он послал послов к Езекии, сказав:
9 He 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 так скажите Езекии, царю Иудейскому: пусть не обманывает тебя Бог твой, на Которого ты уповаешь, думая: "не будет отдан Иерусалим в руки царя Ассирийского".
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.”
11 Вот, ты слышал, что сделали цари Ассирийские со всеми землями, положив на них заклятие; ты ли уцелеешь?
11 Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
12 Боги народов, которых разорили отцы мои, спасли ли их, спасли ли Гозан и Харан, и Рецеф, и сынов Едена, что в Фалассаре?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
13 Где царь Емафа и царь Арпада, и царь города Сепарваима, Ены и Иввы?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
14 И взял Езекия письмо из руки послов и прочитал его, и пошел в дом Господень, и развернул его Езекия пред лицем Господним;
14 Hezekiah 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.
15 и молился Езекия пред лицем Господним и говорил:
15 Hezekiah prayed to Yahweh, saying,
16 Господи Саваоф, Боже Израилев, седящий на Херувимах! Ты один Бог всех царств земли; Ты сотворил небо и землю.
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.
17 Приклони, Господи, ухо Твое и услышь; открой, Господи, очи Твои и воззри, и услышь слова Сеннахирима, который послал поносить Тебя, Бога живаго.
17 Turn 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.
18 Правда, о, Господи! цари Ассирийские опустошили все страны и земли их
18 Truly, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
19 и побросали богов их в огонь; но это были не боги, а изделие рук человеческих, дерево и камень, потому и истребили их.
19 and 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.
20 И ныне, Господи Боже наш, спаси нас от руки его; и узнают все царства земли, что Ты, Господи, Бог один.
20 Now 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.”
21 И послал Исаия, сын Амосов, к Езекии сказать: так говорит Господь, Бог Израилев: о чем ты молился Мне против Сеннахирима, царя Ассирийского, -
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Yahweh, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22 вот слово, которое Господь изрек о нем: презрит тебя, посмеется над тобою девствующая дочь Сиона, покачает вслед тебя головою дочь Иерусалима.
22 this 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.
23 Кого ты порицал и поносил? и на кого возвысил голос и поднял так высоко глаза твои? на Святаго Израилева.
23 Whom 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.
24 Чрез рабов твоих ты порицал Господа и сказал: "со множеством колесниц моих я взошел на высоту гор, на ребра Ливана, и срубил рослые кедры его, отличные кипарисы его, и пришел на самую вершину его, в рощу сада его;
24 By your servants, you have 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 cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
25 и откапывал я, и пил воду; и осушу ступнями ног моих все реки Египетские".
25 I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
26 Разве не слышал ты, что Я издавна сделал это, в древние дни предначертал это, а ныне выполнил тем, что ты опустошаешь крепкие города, превращая их в груды развалин?
26 “‘Have 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.
27 И жители их сделались маломощны, трепещут и остаются в стыде; они стали как трава на поле и нежная зелень, как порост на кровлях и опаленный хлеб, прежде нежели выколосился.
27 Therefore 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.
28 Сядешь ли ты, выйдешь ли, войдешь ли, Я знаю все, знаю и дерзость твою против Меня.
28 But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
29 За твою дерзость против Меня и за то, что надмение твое дошло до ушей Моих, Я вложу кольцо Мое в ноздри твои и удила Мои в рот твой, и возвращу тебя назад тою же дорогою, которою ты пришел.
29 Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will 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.
30 И вот, тебе, Езекия, знамение: ешьте в этот год выросшее от упавшего зерна, и на другой год - самородное; а на третий год сейте и жните, и садите виноградные сады, и ешьте плоды их.
30 “‘This 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 it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 И уцелевший в доме Иудином остаток пустит опять корень внизу и принесет плод вверху,
31 The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 ибо из Иерусалима произойдет остаток, и спасенное - от горы Сиона. Ревность Господа Саваофа соделает это.
32 For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.’
33 Посему так говорит Господь о царе Ассирийском: "не войдет он в этот город и не бросит туда стрелы, и не приступит к нему со щитом, и не насыплет против него вала.
33 “Therefore Yahweh says 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.
34 По той же дороге, по которой пришел, возвратится, а в город сей не войдет, говорит Господь.
34 He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says Yahweh.
35 Я буду охранять город сей, чтобы спасти его ради Себя и ради Давида, раба Моего".
35 ‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
36 И вышел Ангел Господень и поразил в стане Ассирийском сто восемьдесят пять тысяч человек. И встали поутру, и вот, все тела мертвые.
36 Then Yahweh’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.
37 И отступил, и пошел, и возвратился Сеннахирим, царь Ассирийский, и жил в Ниневии.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
38 И когда он поклонялся в доме Нисроха, бога своего, Адрамелех и Шарецер, сыновья его, убили его мечом, а сами убежали в землю Араратскую. И воцарился Асардан, сын его, вместо него.
38 As 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.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
"I will defend this city for my servant David's sake." And besides, on account of His favor towards him, He suffered not Solomon to fall from the kingdom, great as the sin was which he had committed.
