Isaiah 36
1 In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked and captured all the fortified cities of Judah.
Aa ie amy taom-paha folo-efats-ambi’ Iekizkia mpanjakay le naname ze hene rova’ Iehodà nihafatrareñe t’i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore vaho tinava’e.
2 And the king of Assyria sent the Rabshakeh, with a great army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. And he stopped by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.
Nirahe’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey boake Lakise mb’am’ Iekizkia e Ierosalaime ao t’i Rabsakè reketse lian-dahin-defo ra’elahy, le nijohañe an-talaha-drano miboak’ amy antara amboney, amy lalan-tetem-panasa-lambay ey.
3 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, went out to him.
Niavotse mb’ama’e mb’eo t’i Eliakime, ana’ i Hilkià, mpifelek’ i anjombay naho i Sebna mpanokitse vaho Ioake ana’ i Asafe, mpamolily.
4 The Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah that this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?
Hoe t’i Rabsakè tam’ iereo, Volaño henaneo am’ Iekizkia: Hoe ty saontsi’ i mpanjaka ra’elahiy, i mpanjaka’ i Asorey. Ajado’ areo ami’ty inom-bao ze o fatokisa’ areo zao?
5 You claim to have a strategy and strength for war, but these are empty words. In whom are you now trusting, that you have rebelled against me?
Hoe iraho: fivolan-kòake hao ty atao safiry naho ozatse hahafialy? Aa le ia ty iatoa’ areo, kanao miola amako?
6 Look now, you are trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
Hehe te iatoa’ areo i fitoñom-bararata vinonotrobokey, i Mitsraime; ie itoñona’ ondaty am-pitàñe le trofake: izay t’i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime amy ze hene miato ama’e.
7 But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is He not the One whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship before this altar’?
Aa naho manao ty hoe amako nahareo: Iehovà iatoa’ay t’i Andrianañahare’ay. Aa tsy ie hao ty nañafaha’ Iekizkia o toe’e ankaboañeo naho o kitreli’eo vaho nanao ty hoe am’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime te amy ze o kitrely zao ty italahoa’ areo?
8 Now, therefore, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria. I will give you two thousand horses—if you can put riders on them!
Aa ehe manoa kizè amy taleko mpanjaka’ i Asorey, le hatoloko azo ty soavala ro’arivo, naho mete’o ty hampijoñe mpiningitse ama’e.
9 For how can you repel a single officer among the least of my master’s servants when you depend on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
Akore arè ty hampiambohoa’o ty mpifehe, faragidro’ o mpitoron-talèkoo? te hapite’o amy Mitsraime ty fiatoa’o hahazoa’o sarete naho mpiningitse!
10 So now, was it apart from the LORD that I have come up against this land to destroy it? The LORD Himself said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”
Aa vaho nionjoñe mb’an-tane atoy hao iraho handrotsak’ aze tsy ama’ Iehovà? Toe nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà: Mionjona haname o tane zao le rotsaho.
11 Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Do not speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
Aa le hoe t’i Eliakime, i Sebnà, naho Ioàke amy Rabsakè, Ehe, misaontsia amo mpitoro’oo an-tsaontsi’ i Arame, fa hai’ay; le ko misaontsy ama’ay an-tsaontsi’ Iehodà, am-pijanjiña’ ondaty ambone’ o kijolioo.
12 But the Rabshakeh replied, “Has my master sent me to speak these words only to you and your master, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?”
Fa hoe t’i Rabsakè: Aa vaho nirahe’ i talèkoy iraho hivolañe amy tale’ areoy naho ama’ areo avao o entako zao, le tsy am’ ondaty mitoboke ambone’ o kijolioo, o nozoñeñe hitraoke ama’ o hikama ty fiamonto’e naho hinoñe ty rano faria’eo?
13 Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
Aa le niongake t’i Rabsakè vaho pinaza’e ty koike, ami’ty saontsi’ Iehodà ty hoe: Janjiño ty saontsi’ i mpanjaka ra’ elahiy, ty mpanjaka’ i Asore!
14 This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he cannot deliver you.
Hoe i mpanjakay, Ko apo’ areo ho fañahie’ Iekizkia, fa tsy ho lefe’e rombaheñe.
15 Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
Ko ado’ areo hampiatoa’ Iekizkia am’ Iehovà ami’ty hoe: Toe hamotsotse an-tika t’Iehovà, le tsy hatolotse am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey ty rova toy.
16 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink water from his own cistern,
Ko haoñe’ areo t’Iekizkia; fa hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Asore, mifampilongoa amako le miavota mb’etoy; fa songa hikama ami’ty vahe’e t’indaty, naho sindre ami’ty sakoa’e t’indaty vaho hene hinon-drano boak’ an-tsajoa’e t’indaty,
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
ampara’ te homb’eo iraho hanese anahareo mb’an-tane manahake ty tane’ areo, tanen-ampemba naho divay, tane ama mahakama naho tanem-bahe.
18 Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The LORD will deliver us.’ Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
Ko apo’ areo hampivihe’ Iekizkia ami’ ty hoe: Handrombake antika t’Iehovà. Fa ia amo ‘ndrahare’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty nandrombake ty tane’e am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
Aia o ndrahare’ i Kamate naho i Arpadeo? Aia o ndrahare’ i Sefarvaimeo? Fa navotso’ iareo an-tañako hao t’i Somerone?
20 Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land from my hand? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
Ia amo ndrahare’ i tane rey iabio ty nañaha aze an-tañako, te havotso’ Iehovà an-tañako t’Ierosalaime?
21 But the people remained silent and did not answer a word, for Hezekiah had commanded, “Do not answer him.”
Fe nianjiñe avao iereo, leo volañe raike tsy natoi’ iareo aze, amy linili’ i mpanjakaiy, ty hoe: Ko itoiñañe.
22 Then Hilkiah’s son Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and Asaph’s son Joah the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they relayed to him the words of the Rabshakeh.
Nomb’ am’ Iekizkia t’i Eliakime ana’ i Kilkeia mpifeleke i anjombay naho i Sebnà mpanokitse naho Ioàke ana’ i Asafe mpamolily, an-tsaroñe riatse, vaho nitaroñe i enta’ i Rabsakèy.
