< 2 Kings 19 >

1 On hearing this report, King Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.
Ie jinanji’ i Kezkià izay, le rinia’e o saro’eo naho nisikin-gony vaho nizilik’ añ’ anjomba’Iehovà ao.
2 And he sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz
Nampihitrife’e mb’am’ Iesaià, mpitoky, ana’ i Amotse, mb’eo t’i Eliakime mpiaolo’ i anjombay, naho i Sebnà mpanokitse, vaho o androanavim-pisoroñeo songa nisaron-gony,
3 to tell him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace; for children have come to the point of birth, but there is no strength to deliver them.
ninday ama’e ty hoe: Hoe t’i Kezkià: Andron-kankàñe naho trevoke vaho te­ra­tera ty andro toy, fa an-titotse te hisamake o ajajao fe po-haozarañe.
4 Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to defy the living God, and He will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that still survives.”
Hera, ho janjiñe’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o i enta’ i Rab’sakè nahitri’ i mpanjaka’ i Asore, talè’eiy, nanigike an’ Andrianañahare veloñe, hitrevoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o o fivolañe jinanji’eo; le ihalalio i sehanga’ey.
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah went to Isaiah,
Aa le nimb’ am’ Iesaià mb’eo i mpitoro’ i Kezkià rey.
6 who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
Le hoe t’Ie­saià tama’e: Zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy talè’ areoy: Hoe ty tsinara’ Iehovà: Ko hem­bañ’ amo volañe jinanji’oo, o niteraterà’ o mpitoro’ i mpanjaka’ i Asoreio ahikoo.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”
Oniño t’ie ho fañahieko hijanjiña’e tolom-boetse naho himpoly mb’an-tane’e añe vaho hampikorovoheko am-pibara an-tane’e ao.
8 When the Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah.
Nibalik’ amy zao t’i Rab’sakè, le zoe’e nialy amy Libnà ty mpanjaka’ i Asore; toe jinanji’e ty fienga’e i Lakise,
9 Now Sennacherib had been warned about Tirhakah king of Cush: “Look, he has set out to fight against you.” So Sennacherib again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
ie jinanjiñe ty amy Tir’hakà mpanjaka’ i Kose ty hoe: Ingo fa niavota’e hialy, aa le nañitrife’e ìrake indraike t’i Kezkià nanao ty hoe:
10 “Give this message to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Ty hoe ty ho enta’o my Kezkià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà: Ko ado’o hamañahy azo i Andrianañahare iatoa’oy, hanao ty hoe; Tsy hatolotse am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey t’Ierosalaime.
11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction. Will you then be spared?
Toe jinanji’o i nanoem-panjaka’ i Asore ze hene fifeheañey—fonga nimongore’e; aa vaho havotsotse irehe?
12 Did the gods of the nations destroyed by my fathers rescue those nations—the gods of Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and of the people of Eden in Telassar?
Hera namo­tsotse o nandrotsahan-droaekoo o ‘ndraharem-pifeheañeo, i Gozane, i Karane, i Retsefe, vaho o ana’ i Edene nte Telasàreo?
13 Where are the kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”
Aia ty mpanjaka’ i Kamate, ty mpanjaka’ i Arpade, ty mpanjaka’ i rova’ i Sefarvainey, ty a i Hena, naho Ivà?
14 So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD.
Rinambe’ i Kezkià i taratasy boak’ am-pità’ i ìrake reiy, le vinaki’e; le nionjoñe mb’ añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo t’i Kezkià, vaho vinela’e añatrefa’ Iehovà.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
Le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Kezkià ami’ty hoe: O ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, mpiam­besatse añivo’ o keròbeo, Ihe ro Andrianañahare, Ihe avao, amy ze kila fifehea’ ty tane toy; Ihe ty namboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toy.
16 Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.
Manokilaña ravembia ry Iehovà le janjiño, manokafa fihaino ry Iehovà le vazohò, vaho haoño o enta’ i Senakeribe nahitri’e hitera­tera i Andrianañahare veloñeio.
17 Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste these nations and their lands.
Vata’e to, ry Iehovà te nampangoakoahe’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo o fifeheañeo naho o tane’eo;
18 They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods, but only wood and stone—the work of human hands.
naho nafetsa’ iareo añ’afo ao o ‘ndrahare’ iareoo (o tsy Andriañahareo, fa satam-pità’ ondaty, hatae naho vato) vaho rinotsa’ iereo.
19 And now, O LORD our God, please save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”
Ie amy zao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, Ehe rombaho am-pità’e zahay hahafohina’ ze hene fifehea’ ty tane toy te Ihe ry Iehovà ro Andrianañahare, Ihe avao.
20 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria.
Nahitri’ Iesaià, ana’ i Amotse amy Kezkià, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ Israele: Kanao nihalalia’o amako i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asorey, le tsinanoko.
21 This is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.
Hoe ty tsara nafè’ Iehovà ama’e: Malaim-bintañe azo ty anak’ ampela’ i Tsione naho itohafa’e an-tìtse; mikofi-doha ama’o ty anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaime.
22 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!
Ia ty ninjè’o naho nonjira’o? Ia o nipoñafa’o feo naho niandrandrà’o maso am-pirengevohañeo hatretrè’o i Masi’ Israeley!
23 Through your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the finest of its cypresses. I have reached its farthest outposts, the densest of its forests.
O ìra’oo ty nañinjea’o i Talè naho nanao ty hoe, Amo saretekoo ty añamboneako andigiligi’ o haboañeo, pak’an-tsifitsifi’ i Lebanone añe; firaeko ty abo amo mendorave’eo, ty soa fijoboñe amo talì’eo; izilihako i fipalira’e lavitse ama’ey, i ala’e loho matahetsey.
24 I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
Nihaly vovon-draho naho ninon-dranon’ ambahiny, vaho nimaiheko an-dela-tomboko o hene saka’ i Mitsraimeo.
25 Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it; in days of old I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should crush fortified cities into piles of rubble.
Tsy jinanji’o hao? fa haehae te nanoeko? sinafiriko taolo añe, naho nampifetsa­hako henanekeo, eka fa fonitse, te havali’o ho votrem-piantoañe o rova fatratseo,
26 Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.
le salatse naho malovilovy o mpimone’e nitomoreñeo, ie hoe ron­goñe an-kivok’ ao naho ahetse maindoñe, manahake ty boka ambone’ kivoho eo vaho ampemba pikole’e ie mbe tsy bey.
27 But I know your sitting down, your going out and coming in, and your raging against Me.
Fe apotako ty fiongaha’o naho ty fitoboha’o, ty fiakara’o naho ty fiziliha’o vaho o fitroña’o amakoo.
28 Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’
Aa kanao itreña’o, vaho niheo an-tsofiko ao ty fitoabora’o, le ha­tsatoko an-doak’ oro’o ao ty porengoko naho ami’ty montsili’o ao ty laboridiko; vaho hampipolieko amy lalañe nimba’o mb’ etoiy.
29 And this will be a sign to you, O Hezekiah: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. But in the third year you will sow and reap; you will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Inao ty ho viloñe hahafohina’ areo izay: Ho kamae’ areo ze mitiry ho asa’e ami’ty taoñe toy, le ze mijirik’ ama’e ami’ty taom-paha roe; le mitongisa ami’ty taom-pahatelo, mambolea an-tanem-bahe vaho kamao o voa’eo.
30 And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root below and bear fruit above.
Mbe hamahatse mañambane naho hamoa mañambone ty sehangan’ anjomba’ Iehoda;
31 For a remnant will go forth from Jerusalem, and survivors from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
fa hiavotse am’ Ierosalaime ty sengaha’e, naho boak’ ankaboa’ i Tsione ao o nahafipolio­tseo. Hanoe’ ty fahimbaña’ Iehovà’ i Màroy izay.
32 So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it.
Aa le hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey: T’ie tsy himoak’ an-drova atoy, tsy hañiririña’e ana-pale, tsy hiheova’e aolo’e ey reketse fikalañe, vaho tsy haobo’e ama’e ty tambohom-panameañe.
33 He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city,’
Amy lalañe nigodaña’e mb’ etoa ty himpolia’e añe fa tsy hifoak’ ami’ ty rova toy, hoe t’Iehovà.
34 ‘I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
Toe harovako ty rova toy, ho rombaheko ho Ahiko naho ho a i Davide mpitoroko.
35 And that very night the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!
Ie amy haleñey, ni­mb’eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà nanjevoñe ty rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale-tsi-lime-arivo an-tobe’ o nte-Asoreo. Ie mañampitso ondatio le nizoeñe t’ie fonga lolo.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
Nienga amy zao t’i Senakeribe, mpanjaka’ i Asore, nimpoly, vaho nimoneñe e Nineve ao.
37 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat. And his son Esar-haddon reigned in his place.
Ie nitalaho añ’ anjomba’ i Nisroke, ‘ndrahare’e ao, le nanjevoñe aze am-pibara ty ana’e Adrameleke naho i Saretsere vaho nipolititse mb’an-tane Ararate añe. Nandimbe aze t’i Esarsadone, ana’e.
