1 It happened, when malak (king) Chazaqayah (Hezekiah) shamai (hearken / hear) it, that he qarai (tore) his clothes, and kasah (covered) himself with sackcloth, and bawaa (come) into the bayath (house) of Yahawah ().
2 He shalach (send) Alayaqayam (Eliakim), who was over the bayath (house), and Shabanaa (Shebna) the sapar (book), and the zaqanay (elders) of the kahanayam (priests), kasah (covered) with sackcloth, to Yashaiyah (Isaiah) the nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) the ban (son) of Amawatz (Amoz).
3 They amar (said) to him, “Thus yaamaraw (says) Chazaqayah (Hezekiah), ‘This yawam (day) is a yawam (day) of tzarah (trouble), of thawakachah (rebuke), and of rejection; for the banayam (children) bawaa (bring) come to the point of mashabar (birth), and there is no kach (strength / mighty / power) to deliver them.
4 It awalay (perhaps) be Yahawah () your Alahayam () will shamai (hearken / hear) all the dabaray (words) of Rabashaqah (Rabshakeh), whom the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria) his adawan (master / lord) has shalach (send) to charap (defy) the chay (life) Alahayam (), and will yakach (rebuke) the dabaray (words) which Yahawah () your Alahayam () has shamai (hearken / hear). Therefore nashaa (lift) up your thapalah (prayer) for the shaarayath (remnant) that is matzaa (left).’”
5 So the ibaday (servant of) of malak (king) Chazaqayah (Hezekiah) bawaa (bring) to Yashaiyah (Isaiah).
6 Yashaiyah (Isaiah) amar (spoke) to them, “Thus you shall amar (spoke) your adawan (master / lord), ‘Thus thaamaraw (says) Yahawah (), “Don't be yaraa (fear / be afraid) of the dabarayam (words) that you have shamai (hearken / hear), with which the nairay (servants) of the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria) have gadap (blasphemed) me.
7 Behold, I will nathan (give) a rawach (spirit / wind) in him, and he will shamai (hearken / hear) shamawaih (news), and will shawab (turn) to his own aratz (Earth/land). I will napal (fall / be cast down) him to fall by the charab (sword) in his own aratz (Earth/land).”’”
8 So Rabashaqah (Rabshakeh) shawab (turn), and matzaa (found) the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria) lacham (warring) against Labanah (Libnah); for he had shamai (hearken / hear) that he had departed from Lakayash (Lachish).
9 When he shamai (hearken / hear) it amar (said) of Tharahaqah (Tirhakah) malak (king) of Kawash (Ethiopia), “Behold, he yatzaa (go out / come out) come out to lacham (fight) against you, he shalach (send) malaakayam (messengers) again to Chazaqayah (Hezekiah), amar (said),
10 ‘Thus you shall amar (spoke) to Chazaqayah (Hezekiah) malak (king) of Yahawadah (Judah), amar (spoke), “Don't let your Alahayam () in whom you batach (trust) nashaa (lift) you, amar (spoke), Yarawashalam (Jerusalem) will not be nathan (give) into the yad (hand) of the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria).
11 Behold, you have shamai (hearken / hear) what the malakay (kings) of Ashawar (Assyria) ishah (make) done to all aratzawath (lands), by charam (destroying) them utterly. Will you be natzal (delivered)?
12 Have the Alahayam () of the gawayam (nations) natzal (delivered) them, which my ab (father) have shachath (destroyed), Gawazan (Gozan), and Charan (Haran), and Ratzap (Rezeph), and the banay (children) of Idan (Eden) that were in Thalaashar (Telassar)?
13 Where is the malak (king) of Chamath (Hamath), and the malak (king) of Arapad (Arpad), and the malak (king) of the iyar (city) of Saparawayam (Sepharvaim), of Hanai (Hena), and Iwah (Ivvah)?”’”
14 Chazaqayah (Hezekiah) laqach (take / seize) the sapar (book / scribed document) from the yad (hand) of the malaakayam (messengers), and qaraa (called) it. Then Chazaqayah (Hezekiah) ilah (go up / offer) up to the bayath (house) of Yahawah (), and parash (spread) it panayam (face) Yahawah ().
15 Chazaqayah (Hezekiah) palal (prayed) panayam (face) Yahawah (), and amar (spoke), “Yahawah (), the Alahayam () of Yashar-Al (Israel), who yashab (inhabit/dwell) above the karawab (cherubim), you are the Alahayam (), even you alone, of all the mamalakawath (kingdoms) of the aratz (Earth/land). You ishah (make) made shamayam (Shamayam / Heavens) and aratz (Earth/land).
16 Natah (incline) your azan (ear), Yahawah (), and shamai (hearken / hear). Paqach (open) your iyan (eye), Yahawah (), and raah (see). Shamai (hearken / hear) the dabaray (words) of Sanacharayab (Sennacherib), with which he has shalach (send) to charap (defy) the chay (life) Alahayam ().
17 Truly, Yahawah (), the malakay (kings) of Ashawar (Assyria) have charab (laid) waste the gawayam (nations) and their aratz (Earth/land),
18 And nathan (give) cast their Alahayam () into the ash (fire); for they were no Alahayam (), but the maishah (work) of adam (men's) yaday (hands), itz (wood) and aban (stone). Therefore they abad (destroy / perish) destroyed them.
19 Now therefore, Yahawah () our Alahayam (), yashai (salvation) us, I beg you, out of his yad (hand), that all the mamalakawath (kingdoms) of the aratz (Earth/land) may yadai (know) that you, Yahawah (), are Alahayam () alone.”
20 Then Yashaiyah (Isaiah) the ban (son) of Amawatz (Amoz) shalach (send) to Chazaqayah (Hezekiah), amar (spoke), “Thus amar (spoke) Yahawah (), the Alahayam () of Yashar-Al (Israel), Whereas ‘you have palal (prayed) to me against Sanacharayab (Sennacherib) malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria), I have shamai (hearken / hear) you.
21 This is the dabar (word / matter) that Yahawah () has dabar (word / matter) concerning him: ‘The bathawalah (virgin) banath (daughter) of Tzayawan (Zion) has bazah (despised) you and ridiculed you. The banath (daughter) of Yarawashalam (Jerusalem) has nawai (shaken) her raash (head) at you.
22 Whom have you charap (defied) and gadap (blasphemed)? Against whom have you rawam (will lift up) your qawal (sound / voice) and nashaa (lift) up your iyan (eye) on marawam (high)? Against the qadawash (holy) One of Yashar-Al (Israel).
23 By your malaak (angel / messenger of Yah) you have charap (defied) the Adanay (), and have amar (spoke), “With the rakab (multitude) of my rakab (chariots), I have ilah (go up / offer) up to the marawam (height) of the harayam (mountains), to the innermost yarakathay (parts) of Labanawan (Lebanon); and I will karath (cut) down its qawamah (tall) araz (cedars), and its mabachar (choice) barawash (fir) trees; and I will bawaa (come) into his farthest malawan (lodging) place, the yair (forest) of his Karamal (fruitful) field.
24 I have qawar (dug) and shathah (drinks) zawar (strange) mayam (Waters), and with the kap (sole) of my paim (feet) will I charab (dry) up all the yaaray (rivers) of Matzawar (Egypt).”
25 Haven't you shamai (hearken / hear) how I ishah (make) done it rachawaq (long) ago, and yatzar (formed) it of qadam (ancient) yamay (times)? Now bawaa (bring) I brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay shaah (waste) batzar (fortified) irayam (cities) into ruinous galayam (heaps).
26 Therefore their yashab (inhabit/dwell) were of qatzar (small) yad (hand). They were chathath (dismayed) and bawash (confounded). They were like the ishab (grass) of the shadah (field), and like the yaraq (green) dashaa (herb), like the chatzayar (grass) on the housetops, and like grain shadapah (blasted) panayam (face) it has qamah (grown) up.
27 But I yadai (know) your sitting down, and your yatzaa (go out / come out) out, and your bawaa (bring) in, and your ragaz (raging) against me.
28 Because of your ragaz (raging) against me, and because your arrogance has ilah (go up / offer) up into my azan (ear), therefore will I shawam (place / establish / appoint) my chach (hook) in your ap (nostril / picture: bull snorting), and my mathag (bridle) in your shapah (lips), and I will shawab (turn) you back by the darak (way) by which you bawaa (bring).’
29 “This shall be the awath (sign / mark / miracle) to you: You shall akal (eat) this shanah (year) that which sapayach (grows) of itself, and in the shanay (second) shanah (year) that which springs of the same; and in the shalayashay (third) shanah (year) zarai (sow), and qatzar (reap), and natai (plant) karamayam (vineyards), and akal (eat) its paray (fruit).
30 The shaar (remnant) that has palayatah (escaped) of the bayath (house) of Yahawadah (Yahawadah / Judah) shall again take sharash (root) matah (downward), and ishah (make) paray (fruit) upward.
31 For out of Yarawashalam (Jerusalem) a shaarayath (remnant) will yatzaa (go out / come out) out, and out of har (mountain) Tzayawan (Zion) those who shall palayatah (escape). The qanaah (zeal) of Yahawah () will ishah (make) this.
32 “Therefore thus amar (spoke) Yahawah () concerning the malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria), ‘He shall not bawaa (come) to this iyar (city), nor yarah (shoot) an chatz (arrow) there, neither shall he qadam (come) before it with magan (shield), nor shapak (cast) up a mound against it.
33 By the darak (way) that he bawaa (come), by the same shall he shawab (turn back / repent), and he shall not bawaa (come) to this iyar (city),’ naam (declares prophetically) Yahawah ().
34 ‘For I will ganan (defend) this iyar (city) to yashai (salvation) it, for my own sake, and for my ibad (servant) Dawad (David's) sake.’”
35 It happened that layal (night), that the malaak (angel / messenger of Yah) of Yahawah () yatzaa (go out / come out) out, and nakah (struck) one maah (hundred) shamanayam (eighty) - chamash (five) alap (thousand) in the machanah (camp) of the Ashawar (Assyrians). When men arose shakam (early) in the shakam (morning), behold, these were all mawath (death) pagarayam (bodies).
36 So Sanacharayab (Sennacherib) malak (king) of Ashawar (Assyria) departed, and yalak (went) and shawab (turn), and lived at Nayanawah (Nineveh).
37 It happened, as he was shachah (worshipping) in the bayath (house) of Nasarak (Nisroch) his Alahayam (), that Adaramalak (Adrammelech) and Sharaatzar (Sharezer) nakah (struck) him with the charab (sword); and they malat (escaped) into the aratz (Earth/land) of Ararat (Ararat). Asarachadawan (Esar Haddon) his ban (son) malak (king) in his place.
