2 Weche Mag Ndalo 32
1 Bangʼ tich maber mane Hezekia otimo, Senakerib ruodh Asuria nobiro momonjo Juda. Ne ogoyo agengʼa ne mier mochiel gohinga koparo ni onyalo kawogi mondo gidok mage.
After these things and veritable events came Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and invaded Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break them open for himself.
2 Kane Hezekia oneno ni Senakerib nosebiro kendo noparo mar kedo kod Jerusalem,
And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was coming, and that his face [was directed] for war against Jerusalem,
3 noporo wach gi jodonge kod jotend lweny mondo gigengʼ pi soko moa oko mar dala maduongʼ kendo ne gikonye.
He consulted with his princes and his mighty men to stop up the waters of the springs which were without the city: and they helped him.
4 Oganda maduongʼ nochokore kendo ne gigengʼo sokni duto aore mane kadho e piny kagiwacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ruodhi mag Asuria biro mondo onwangʼ pi mangʼeny.”
And there were gathered together a very numerous body of people, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?
5 Eka notiyo matek koloso kuonde mane omukore mag ohinga kendo nogero kuonde maboyo mag ngʼicho. Nogero ohinga machielo e tok mokwongo kendo nomedo loso ndiri mosiro Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Bende noloso gig lweny kod okumbni mangʼeny.
Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall where it was broken down, and heightened the towers, and [built] without another wall, and fortified the Millo of the city of David, and made weapons in abundance and shields.
6 Noketo jotend lweny mondo otel ne ji kendo nochokogi e nyime e laru mar dhoranga dala maduongʼ kendo nojiwogi gi wechegi:
And he appointed war-officers over the people, and gathered them together unto him in the open place at the gate of the city, and spoke comfortingly to them, saying,
7 “Beduru motegno kendo gi chir. Kik ubed gi luoro kata kik chunyu tho nikech ruodh Asuria kod jolweny mangʼeny man kode nimar wan gi teko maduongʼ moloye.
Be strong and of good courage, do not fear and be not dismayed because of the king of Assyria, and because of all the multitude that is with him; for with us there is One greater than with him:
8 Teko mar dhano ema ni kode to wan to wan kod Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa makonyowa kendo kedonwa e lwenjewa.” Kendo ji nobedo gi chir kane giwinjo wach Hezekia ruodh Juda.
With him there is an arm of flesh; but with us is the Lord our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people relied upon the words of Hezekiah the king of Judah.
9 Bangʼe kane Senakerib ruodh Asuria kod jolweny mage duto ne ogoyo agengʼa Lakish, nooro jotend lweny mage Jerusalem mondo owach ne Hezekia ruodh Juda kod jo-Juda duto mane ni kanyo kowacho niya,
After this did Sennacherib the king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, while he was himself lying before Lachish, and all [the chief troops of] his dominion with him, against Hezekiah the king of Judah, and against all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 “Ma e gima Senakerib ruodh Asuria wacho: En kama nade miketoe genoni, momiyo isiko Jerusalem ka ogoni agengʼa?
Thus hath said Sennacherib the king of Assyria, On what do ye trust, that ye remain besieged in Jerusalem?
11 Ka Hezekia wacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa biro resowa e lwet ruodh Asuria,’ donge uparo ni owitou mondo kech gi riyo onegu?
Doth not Hezekiah mislead you to give you up to die by famine and by thirst, when he saith, The Lord our God will deliver us out of the grasp of the king of Assyria?
12 Donge Hezekia owuon nomuko kuonde motingʼore mar lemo kod kende mag misango mag nyasayeni kowachone jo-Juda kod jo-Jerusalem ni, ‘Nyaka ulam e nyim kendo mar misango achiel kendo unuwangʼ misango mau e wiye’?
Is it not this Hezekiah that hath removed his high-places and his altars, when he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar shall ye prostrate yourselves, and upon it shall ye burn incense?
13 “Donge ungʼeyo gima an kod kwerena osetimo ni ogendini mamoko duto mag pinje? Dak ne nyiseche pinjego duto resgi e lweta?
Know ye not what I have done, I and my fathers, unto all the people of [other] lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand?
14 Kuom nyiseche duto mag ogendini mane kwerena otieko, en mane kuomgi mosereso joge e lweta? Angʼo momiyo uparo ni nyasachu biro resou e lweta?
Who among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, was it, that was able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
15 Omiyo kik uwe Hezekia wuondu kendo mi ulal kama. Kik uyie kode nikech onge nyasach oganda kata pinyruoth moro amora ma osereso joge e lweta kata e lwet kwerena. Omiyo ere kaka nyasachu noresu e lweta!”
And now let not Hezekiah deceive you, and let him not mislead you in this manner, nor believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom whatever was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less will you Gods, deliver you out of my hand!
16 Jotelo mag Senakerib nomedo wuoyo marach kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo kuom jatichne Hezekia.
And yet more did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
17 Bende ruoth nondiko baruwa moyanyogo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel kendo nowuoyo kuome kojare niya, “Mana kaka nyiseche mag jopinje moko ne ok oresogi e lweta, omiyo nyasach Hezekia bende ok nores joge e lweta.”
He wrote also letters to blaspheme against the Lord the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of [other] lands, who have not delivered their people out of my hand, so will the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.
18 Bangʼe negiluongo joma ne nitie Jerusalem e ohinga ka gikok gi dwol maduongʼ gi dho jo-Hibrania mondo obwog-gi kendo omi gibed gi luoro eka mondo gikaw dala maduongʼno.
Then did they call out with a loud voice in the Jewish language unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to frighten them, and to terrify them: in order that they might capture the city.
19 Ne giwuoyo marach kuom Nyasach Jerusalem kaka ne giwuoyo kuom nyiseche molos gi lwedo mag ogendini mag piny.
And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as concerning the gods of the nations of the earth, the work of the hands of man.
20 Ruoth Hezekia gi janabi Isaya wuod Amoz noywagore ka lemo e nyim polo kuom wachni.
And king Hezekiah and Isaiah the son of Amos the prophet prayed for this cause, and they cried to heaven.
21 Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nooro malaika mane onego jolweny gi jochungʼ kod jotelo e kambi mar ruodh Asuria, omiyo nowuok modok e pinye gi wichkuot. Kane odhi e kar lemo mar nyasache, yawuote moko nonege kod ligangla.
And the Lord sent an angel, who cut off every mighty man of valor and leader and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria: and when he was returned with shame of face to his own land, he went into the house of his god, and [those] that were come forth from his own bowels felled him there with the sword.
22 Kamano e kaka Jehova Nyasaye noreso Hezekia kod jo-Jerusalem motony e lwet Senakerib ruodh Asuria kendo e lwet ruodhi mamoko bende. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye noritogi kuom pinje duto mane olworogi.
Thus did the Lord save Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem out of the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and out of the hand of all, and guided them [safely] on every side.
23 Ji mangʼeny nokelo ni Jehova Nyasaye mich mag-gi Jerusalem kendo Hezekia ruodh Juda bende negikelone mich ma nengogi tek, kendo chakre kanyo ogendini duto nomiye luor maduongʼ.
And many brought presents unto the Lord to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah the king of Judah: so that he was exalted before the eyes of all the nations after that time.
24 E ndalogo Hezekia nobedo matuo kendo nohewore, omiyo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye mane odwoke kendo nomiye ranyisi mar hono.
In those days fell Hezekiah sick to the death; and he prayed unto the Lord: and he spoke unto him, and he gave him a wonderful token.
25 To Hezekia ne nigi sunga e chunye kendo ne ok odwoko erokamano kaluwore gi ngʼwono manotimne; omiyo mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye kode kaachiel gi Juda gi Jerusalem.
But not according to the mercy shown unto him did Hezekiah act in return; for his heart was lifted up: wherefore there came wrath over him, and over Judah and Jerusalem.
26 To Hezekia nolokore moweyo timo richo mar sungruok e chunye mana kaka jo-Jerusalem bende notimo, omiyo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ochako omake kodgi e ndalo Hezekia.
Then became Hezekiah humbled because of the lifting up of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
27 Hezekia ne nigi mwandu mangʼeny kod luor mi noloso kuondege mag fedha gi dhahabu gi kite ma nengogi tek gi gik mangʼwe ngʼar, gi okumbni kod gik moko mopogore opogore mabeyo mage.
And Hezekiah had riches and honor in exceeding abundance; and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of costly vessels;
28 Bende nogoyo deche mikane cham mokaa gi divai molos manyien kod mo kendo nogero kunde ne dhok mopogore opogore kod abila mag rombe.
And storehouses for the produce of corn, and new wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and sheepfolds for flocks.
29 Nogero mier kendo ne en kod rombe mangʼeny kod kweth mag dhok nikech Nyasaye nogwedhe kod mwandu mangʼeny.
Moreover he erected for himself cities, and [acquired] possessions of flocks and herds in multitude; for God had given him wealth in great abundance.
30 Hezekia ema ne ogengʼo thidhna matin mar Gihon kobaro pige mondo oluw bath Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi yo podho chiengʼ. Tije duto mane lwete omulo nodhi maber.
This same Hezekiah also stopped up the upper mouth of the waters of Gichon, and brought them straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
31 To kane oorne joote gi jotend Babulon mondo openje kuom ranyisi mar hono mane otimore e piny, Nyasaye noweye mondo oteme mondo eka ongʼe gima ne nitiere e chunye.
And in the same manner in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire concerning the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him, to prove him, to know all that was in his heart.
32 Weche mamoko duto mag ndalo loch Hezekia kod timbene mabeyo ondiki e fweny mar janabi Isaya wuod Amoz e kitap ruodhi mag Juda kod Israel.
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his pious deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, the prophet, [and] in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
33 Hezekia notho moyweyo kaka kwerene kendo noyike e got kama liete nyikwa Daudi ne nitiere. Jo-Juda duto kod joma ne nitie Jerusalem nomiye duongʼ kane otho kendo Manase wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the highest place of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem showed him honor at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his stead.
