וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶלְיָקִ֣ים בֶּן־חִ֠לְקִיָּהוּ וְשֶׁבְנָ֨ה וְיוֹאָ֜ח אֶל־רַב־שָׁקֵ֗ה דַּבֶּר־נָ֤א אֶל־עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ אֲרָמִ֔ית כִּ֥י שֹׁמְעִ֖ים אֲנָ֑חְנוּ וְאַל־תְּדַבֵּ֤ר עִמָּ֙נוּ֙ יְהוּדִ֔ית בְּאָזְנֵ֣י הָעָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־הַחֹמָֽה׃
Sinabi nina Eliakim na anak ni Hilkias, Sebna, at Joa kay Rabsaces: “Pakiusap, makipag-usap ka sa iyong mga lingkod sa wikang Arameo, sapagkat naiintindihan namin ito; huwag mo kaming kausapin sa wikang Hebreo ng Juda habang naririnig ng mga taong nasa pader.”
II Chronicles
And they called out in the language of Judah to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall to frighten and confound them in order to take the city [viz. II Kings 19 and Isaiah 37].
Isaiah
Elyakim, Chebna et Yoah dirent alors à Rabchakè: "Daigne parler à tes serviteurs en araméen, nous le comprenons; mais ne nous parle pas en judéen, qu’entendent les gens qui se trouvent sur les remparts."
