THE SOVEREIGN OF ASHSHUR ENCAMPS AGAINST YERU SHALEM
After these words and this truth, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur comes and enters Yah Hudah and encamps against the cut off cities; and says to split them for himself: 2 and Yechizqi Yah sees Sancherib come; and his face is to war against Yeru Shalem. 3 And he counsels with his governors and his mighty to stop the waters of the fountains outside the city: and they help him: 4 and much people gather and stop all the fountains and the wadi that overflows midst the land saying, Why come the sovereigns of Ashshur and find much water? 5 And he strengthens himself and builds all the broken wall so that it ascends to the towers; and another outer wall; and strengthens Millo the city of David: and works spears and bucklers in abundance. 6 And he gives governors of war over the people and gathers them to himself in the broadway of the portal of the city: and words to their heart, saying, 7 Strengthen! Encourage! Neither awe nor terrify at the face of the sovereign of Ashshur or at the face of all the multitude with him: for there are greater with us than with him: 8 with him - an arm of flesh; and with us - Yah Veh our Elohim to help us and to fight our wars. And the people prop on the words of Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah. 9 After this, Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur sends his servants to Yeru Shalem; - and he is by Lachish with all his reign against Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah and against all Yah Hudah at Yeru Shalem, saying, 10 Thus says Sancherib sovereign of Ashshur, Whereon confide you that you settle in the siege in Yeru Shalem? 11 Yechizqi Yah - goads he not you to give yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Yah Veh our Elohim rescues us from the palm of the sovereign of Ashshur? 12 Yechizqi Yah himself, turns he not aside his bamahs and his sacrifice altars and says to Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem, saying, Worship at the face of one sacrifice altar and incense thereon? 13 Know you not what I and my fathers work to all the people of other lands? The elohim of the goyim of those lands are they able to rescue their lands from my hand? 14 Among all the elohim of those goyim my fathers devoted, who is able rescue his people from my hand - that your Elohim is able to rescue you from my hand? 15 And now neither may Yechizqi Yah deceive you, nor goad you thus, nor yet trust him: for no elohah of any goyim or sovereigndom is able to rescue his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: neither your Elohim rescues you from my hand. 16 And his servants still word against Yah Veh Elohim and against his servant Yechizqi Yah: 17 and he inscribes scrolls to reproach Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El to say against him, saying, As the elohim of the goyim of other lands have not rescued their people from my hand, thus Elohim of Yechizqi Yah rescues not his people from my hand. 18 And they call out with a great voice in Yah Hudahaic to the people of Yeru Shalem on the wall - to awe them and to terrify them; and to capture the city: 19 and they word against the Elohim of Yeru Shalem as against the elohim of the people of the earth - the work of the hands of hamuanity. 20 And Yechizqi Yah the sovereign and the prophet Yesha Yah the son of Amos pray and cry to the heavens: 21 and Yah Veh sends an angel who cuts off all the mighty of valour and the eminent and governors in the camp of the sovereign of Ashshur: and he returns with shamed face to his own land. And he comes to the house of his elohim; and the offspring of his inwards fell him there with the sword: 22 and Yah Veh saves Yechizqi Yah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem from the hand of Sancherib the sovereign of Ashshur and from the hand of all others; and guides them all around. 23 And many bring offerings to Yah Veh to Yeru Shalem; and preciousnesses to Yechizqi Yah sovereign of Yah Hudah: so that he is lifted in the eyes of all goyim thereafter. 24 In those days, Yechizqi Yah is sick to die and prays to Yah Veh: and he says to him and he gives him an omen: 25 and Yechizqi Yah returns not according as he was dealt; for his heart lifts: and there is rage on him and on Yah Hudah and Yeru Shalem: 26 and Yechizqi Yah humbles himself for the haughtiness of his heart - he and the settlers of Yeru Shalem; so that the rage of Yah Veh comes not on them in the days of Yechizqi Yah: 27 and Yechizqi Yah abounds mightily in riches and honor: and he works himself treasuries for silver and for gold and for esteemed stones and for spices and for bucklers and for all manner of instruments of desire 28 - storage for the produce of crop and juice and oil; and stalls for animal by animal and stalls for droves: 29 and he works cities and chattels of flocks and oxen in abundance: for Elohim gives him mighty much acquisition. 30 This is the same Yechizqi Yah who stopped the upper watersprings of Gichon and brought it downward - duskward of the city of David - and Yechizqi Yah prospers in all his works. 31 And thus, by the interpreters of the governors of Babel, who send to him to enquire of the omen in the land, Elohim left him, to test him, to know all that is in his heart. 32
THE DEATH OF YECHIZQI YAH
And the rest of the words of Yechizqi Yah and his mercy, behold, they are inscribed in the vision of Yesha Yah the prophet the son of Amos in the scroll of the sovereigns of Yah Hudah and Yisra El. 33 And Yechizqi Yah lies down with his fathers - entombed in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Yah Hudah and the settlers of Yeru Shalem work him honor at his death. - and Menash Sheh his son reigns in his stead.
