2 Kings 18
1 Now in the third year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, became king of Judah.
E higa mar adek mar loch Hoshea wuod Ela ruodh Israel, Hezekia wuod Ahaz ruodh Juda nodoko ruoth.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
Ne en ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane obedo ruoth, kendo norito piny kuom higni piero ariyo gochiko, kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Abija nyar Zekaria.
3 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord as David his father had done.
Notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka kwar mare Daudi notimo.
4 He had the high places taken away, and the stone pillars broken to bits, and the Asherah cut down; and the brass snake which Moses had made was crushed to powder at his order, because in those days the children of Israel had offerings burned before it, and he gave it the name Nehushtan.
Nomuko kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo, mi otoyo kite milamo kendo ongʼado sirni milamo mag Ashera. Ne otoyo matindo tindo thuond mula mane Musa oloso, nikech nyaka chop ndalono jo-Israel nosebedo kawangʼo ne ubani (ne iluonge ni Nehushtan).
5 He had faith in the Lord, the God of Israel; so that there was no one like him among all the kings of Judah who were before him.
Hezekia ne ogeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel. Ne onge ngʼama osechalo kode e dier ruodhi duto mag Juda, bedni negisebedo e loch chon kata bangʼe.
6 For his heart was fixed on the Lord, not turning from his ways, and he did his orders which the Lord gave to Moses.
Ne osiko kogeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye mi ok noweyo luwe; kendo ne orito chike mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo Musa.
7 And the Lord was with him; he did well in all his undertakings: and he took up arms against the king of Assyria and was his servant no longer.
Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode, kendo ne odhi maber e gik moko duto mane otimo. Nongʼanyone ruodh Asuria kendo ne ok otiyone.
8 He overcame the Philistines as far as Gaza and its limits, from the tower of the watchman to the walled town.
Noloyo jo-Filistia chakre kuonde ngʼicho motingʼore gi malo nyaka dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno, mochopo nyaka Gaza gi mier mokiewo kode.
9 Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up against Samaria, shutting it in with his armies.
E higa mar angʼwen mar loch Hezekia, ma en higa mar abiriyo mar Hoshea wuod Ela ruodh Israel, Shalmaneser ruodh Asuria nomonjo Samaria kendo jolweny nolwore.
10 And at the end of three years they took it; in the sixth year of Hezekiah's rule, which was the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
Bangʼ higni adek, jo-Asuria nokaw Samaria. Omiyo Samaria nokaw e higa mar auchiel mar loch Hezekia mane en higa mar ochiko mar Hoshea ruodh Israel.
11 And the king of Assyria took Israel away as prisoners into Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes;
Ruodh Asuria nodaro jo-Israel motero e twech e piny Asuria kendo noketogi gidak Hala, Gozan man e bath Aora Habor kaachiel gi mier mag Medes.
12 Because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord their God, but went against his agreement, even against everything ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and they did not give ear to it or do it.
Ma notimore nikech ne ok girito chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi, to negiketho singruok mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye ochikogi. Kata kamano ne ok girito chikene kata timo dwarone.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the walled towns of Judah and took them.
E higa mar apar gangʼwen mar loch Ruoth Hezekia, Senakerib ruodh Asuria nomonjo mier madongo duto mochiel motegno mag Juda mokawogi.
14 And Hezekiah, king of Judah, sent to Lachish, to the king of Assyria, saying, I have done wrong; give up attacking me, and whatever you put on me I will undergo. And the payment he was to make was fixed by the king of Assyria at three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Omiyo Hezekia ruodh Juda nooro wach ne ruodh Asuria ka en Lakish kowacho kama: “Aseketho, koro yie iwe kedo koda nikech abiro chulo gimoro amora midwaro.” Ruodh Asuria nokawo kuom Hezekia ruodh Juda fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu apar gi dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo alufu achiel.
15 So Hezekiah gave him all the silver in the house of the Lord, and in the king's store-house.
Omiyo Hezekia nomiye fedha duto mane oyud e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye to gi ute keno duto mag od ruoth.
16 And at that time Hezekiah had the gold from the doors of the Lord's house, and from the door-pillars plated by him, cut off and gave it to the king of Assyria.
E sa onogo ema ne Hezekia ruodh Juda ne ogolo oko dhahabu mane obawogo dhoudi kod sirni mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo nomiyogi ruodh Asuria.
17 Then the king of Assyria sent the Tartan and the Rab-saris and the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a strong force. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and took up their position by the stream of the higher pool, by the highway of the washerman's field.
Ruodh Asuria nooro jatend jolweny mare maduongʼ, jatend jolweny maluwe to gi jatend lweny motelo e kar kedo kaachiel gi jolweny mangʼeny ir Hezekia Jerusalem ka gia Lakish. Negidhi nyaka Jerusalem ma gichopo e bath Soko man malo nyaka e puoth jaluoko.
18 And they sent for the king, and Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them.
Kane giluongo ruoth, to Eliakim wuod Hilkia jatend od ruoth, Shebna jagoro kendo Joa wuod Asaf mane jachan weche nodhi irgi.
19 And the Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, These are the words of the great king, the king of Assyria: In what are you placing your hope?
Jatend lweny nowachonegi niya, “Wachneuru Hezekia kama: “‘Ma e gima ruoth maduongʼ ma ruodh Asuria wacho: En kama nade miketoe genoni momiyo in-gi chir kama?
20 You say you have a design, and strength for war, but these are only words. Now to whom are you looking for support, that you have gone against my authority?
Uwacho ni un gi rieko kod teko mangʼeny mar lweny, to gik ma uwacho onge tiendgi. En ngʼa ma uketo genou kuome, mamiyo ungʼanyo uweya?
21 See, now, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go through a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.
Neuru, sani koro uketo genou kuom Misri, machalo odundu mobarore ma ka ngʼato orere to opilore mochwo ngʼatno kendo kelo adhola! Mano e kaka Farao ruodh Misri chalo ne joma ogeno kuome.
22 And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar in Jerusalem?
To ka uwachona niya, “Wan waketo genowa kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa,” to donge en ema kuondene motingʼore malo kod kendene mag misango Hezekia nogolo kowachone jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem niya, “Nyaka ulam mana e nyim kendoni e Jerusalem?”
23 And now, take a chance with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put horsemen on them.
“‘Biuru sani mondo uwinjru gi ruodha, ma en ruodh Asuria: Abiro miyou farese alufu ariyo, ka unyalo yudo joma riembogi!
24 How then may you put to shame the least of my master's servants? and you have put your hope in Egypt for war-carriages and horsemen:
Ere kaka uparo ni unyalo loyo achiel kuom jotend jolweny matinie moloyo mag ruodha ka uketo genou mana kuom jolwenj Misri gi faresegi?
25 And have I now come up to send destruction on this place without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.
To moloyo, bende dibed ni asebiro monjo kendo ketho dalani ka ok en kuom wach Jehova Nyasaye? Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema osenyisa mondo abi amonj pinyni kendo akethe.’”
26 Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Will you kindly make use of the Aramaean language in talking to your servants, for we are used to it, and do not make use of the Jews' language in the hearing of the people on the wall.
Eka Eliakim wuod Hilkia, Shebna kod Joa nowachone Rabshake jatend lweny niya, “Yie iwuo gi jotichni gi dho jo-Aram, nimar wawinjo dhokno. We wuoyo kodwa gi dho jo-Hibrania nikech joma ni e ohinga nyalo winjo gik miwachonwa.”
27 But the Rab-shakeh said to them, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.
To Rabshake jatend lweny nodwokogi niya, “Uparo ni un kod ruodhu kendu ema ne ruodha oora iru mondo awachnu wechegi, to ok ne joma obedo ei ohinga; bende ungʼeyo ni jogo kaachiel gi un biro bangʼo chiethgi kendo madho lachgi?”
28 Then the Rab-shakeh got up and said with a loud voice in the Jews' language, Give ear to the words of the great king, the king of Assyria;
Eka jatend lweny nochungʼ moluongo matek gi dho jo-Hibrania niya, “Winjuru wach moa kuom ruoth maduongʼ, ma en ruodh Asuria!
29 This is what the king says: Do not be tricked by Hezekiah, for there is no salvation for you in him.
Ma e gima ruoth wacho: Kik uyie Hezekia wuondu nikech ok onyal resou e lweta.
30 And do not let Hezekiah make you put your faith in the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly keep us safe, and this town will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.
Kik uwe Hezekia hou mondo ugen kuom Jehova Nyasaye kowachonu ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye biro resowa adier, kendo dala maduongʼni ok nochiw e lwet ruodh Asuria.’
31 Do not give ear to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me; and everyone will be free to take the fruit of his vine and of his fig-tree, and the water of his spring;
“Kik uwinj wach Hezekia. Ma e gima ruodh Asuria wacho: Winjreuru koda kendo biuru ira oko. Bangʼe ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nocham mzabibu kod ngʼowu kendo nomodh pi moa e sokone owuon,
32 Till I come and take you away to a land like yours, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vine-gardens, a land of oil-giving olives and of honey, so that life and not death may be your fate. Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe.
nyaka chop abi mi ateru e piny machal gi pinyu, ma en piny machiego cham gi divai manyien, piny mopongʼ gi makati kod mzabibu, piny man-gi yiende zeituni kod mor kich. Yieruru ngima, to kik uyier tho! “Kik uwinj wach Hezekia, nimar owuondou kowacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye biro resowa.’
33 Has any one of the gods of the nations kept his land from falling into the hands of the king of Assyria?
Bende nyaka nene nyasach piny moro amora osereso ogandane e lwet ruodh Asuria?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena and Ivvah? have they kept Samaria out of my hands?
Ere nyiseche mag Hamath gi Arpad? Ere nyiseche mag Sefarvaim, Hena kod Iva? Bende ne gireso Samaria e lweta?
35 Who among all the gods of these countries have kept their country from falling into my hands, to give cause for the thought that the Lord will keep Jerusalem from falling into my hands?
Kuom nyiseche duto mag pinjegi, en mane mosereso pinye e lweta? To koro ere kaka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo reso Jerusalem e lweta?”
36 But the people kept quiet and gave him no answer: for the king's order was, Give him no answer.
To ji duto nolingʼ thi maonge ngʼama dwoko nimar ruoth Hezekia nosegolo chik niya, “Kik udwoke.”
37 Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah, with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.
Eka Eliakim wuod Hilkia jatend od ruoth, gi Shebna jagoro kod Joa wuod Asaf jachan weche mag piny nodhi ir Hezekia, ka lepgi oyiech kendo negiwachone gima jatend lwenyno osewacho.
