Isaiah 36
1 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked all of the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.
In yac aksingoul akosr ke Hezekiah el tokosra lun Judah, Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el mweuni siti nukewa lun Judah ma potiyukyak, ac eisla.
2 The king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller’s field highway.
Na el sap sie mwet kol fulat lal in som liki Lachish nu Jerusalem ac us sie un mwet mweun lulap, in sap Tokosra Hezekiah elan srasrapo ac tia mweun. Mwet leum se inge el som muta ke inkanek yen mwet orek nuknuk muta we, sisken laf ma use kof liki lulu se ma oan tafunyen lucng.
3 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder came out to him.
Mwet Judah tolu tufokme in sonol — elos pa Eliakim wen natul Hilkiah, su mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim ke inkul sin tokosra; ac Joah wen natul Asaph, su liyaung ma simusla.
4 Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
Na mwet kol fulat lun mwet Assyria el fahk nu seltal lah Tokosra Fulat el ke etu lah mea Tokosra Hezekiah el kukin uh.
5 I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
El fahk ouinge, “Ku kowos nunku mu kas uh ku in sang alein ku lulap ac pisrla ke mweun? Su kowos lulalfongi mu ac kasrekowos lain acn Assyria?
6 Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt, which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
Kowos lulalfongi mu acn Egypt ac kasrekowos, tuh fin ouinge ac oana ke kowos sikalkin loa — ac mau kaptelik ac kanteya pouwos. Pa ingan luman tokosra lun Egypt nu sin mwet su tupan kasru sel uh.”
7 But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is not that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar’?”
Na mwet kol fulat sac lun mwet Assyria el tafwela ac fahk, “Ku kowos ac fahk nu sik lah kowos ac lulalfongi na LEUM GOD lowos? Nien alu sin LEUM GOD ac loang lal pa Hezekiah el tuh kunausla ke el fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem elos in alu ke loang sefanna.
8 Now therefore, please make a pledge to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
Nga ac oru sie pwapa nu suwos inen Tokosra Fulat. Nga ac sot nu suwos tausin luo ke horse kowos fin ku in konauk pisen mwet ma ac fal in kasrusr fac.
9 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Finne mwet ma srik emeet wal la sin mwet leum lun Assyria, kowos tia apkuran in lainulos. Ne ouinge kowos finsrak mu mwet Egypt ac supwama chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse nu suwos.
10 Have I come up now without the LORD against this land to destroy it? The LORD said to me, “Go up against this land, and destroy it.”’”
Ya kowos nunku mu nga mweuni facl suwos ac kunausla sayen kasru sin LEUM GOD? LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk nu sik in mweuni ac kunausla.”
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Do not speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
Na Eliakim, Shebna ac Joah fahk nu sin mwet kol sac, “Kaskas nu sesr ke kas Aramaic. Kut kalem na kac. Nimet kas Hebrew — mwet nukewa fin pot uh lohng na ma kom fahk an.”
12 But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
Ac el topuk, “Mea, komtal nunku mu komtal ac tokosra mukena pa Tokosra Fulat el supweyume ngan fahk ma inge nu se uh? Mo, nga tuku in fahk pac nu sin mwet ma muta fin pot uh, su ac fah kang fohk lalos ac nim kifwalos oana ke kowos ac mau oru uh.”
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
Na mwet kol fulat sac tuyak ac wowoyak ke kas Hebrew, “Lohng ma Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el fahk nu suwos.
14 The king says, ‘Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
El sensenkakin kowos tuh kowos in tia lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekowos. Hezekiah el tia ku in molikowosla.
15 Do not let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us. This city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”’
Ac nimet lela elan furokkowosla in lulalfongi ke LEUM GOD. Nimet nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac molikowos, ac sikulya un mwet mweun lun Assyria in tia sruokya siti suwos an.
16 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink the waters of his own cistern;
Nimet lohngol Hezekiah! Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el sap kowos in ilme liki siti an ac srasrapo. Kowos nukewa ac filfilla in mongo grape ke ima lowos sifacna ac fig ke sak sunowos sifacna, ac in nim kof ke lufin kof lowos sifacna —
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
nwe ke na Tokosra Fulat lasr el sifilpa oaki kowos in sie facl ma oapana acn suwos, acn ma oasr ima in grape in orala wain, ac wheat mwe orek bread.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.” Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria?
Nimet lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekowos in nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac molikowosla. Ya god lun mutunfacl saya uh nu molelosla liki poun Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
God lun Hamath ac Arpad elos oasr oya inge? Ac pia god lun Sepharvaim? Ya oasr selos tuh molela acn Samaria?
20 Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
Ya oasr pacl se sie sin god lun mutunfacl inge nu molelosla liki Tokosra Fulat lasr uh? Na mea se oru kowos in nunku mu LEUM GOD El ku in molela acn Jerusalem?”
21 But they remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s commandment was, “Do not answer him.”
Mwet uh mislana tia kas, oana ke Tokosra Hezekiah el sapkin nu selos. Elos tiana topuk sie kas.
22 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Na Eliakim, Shebna ac Joah seya nuknuk lalos ke asor, ac som fahkak nu sin tokosra ma mwet kol fulat lun Assyria el fahk ah.
