< Chronicles II 32 >

1 And after these things and this faithful dealing, came Sennacherim king of the Assyrians, and he came to Juda, and encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to take them for himself.
Erga Hisqiyaas waan kana hunda amanamummaadhaan hojjetee booddee Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor dhufee Yihuudaa weerare. Moʼatee isaan qabachuudhaafis magaalaawwan dallaa dhagaa qaban marse.
2 And Ezekias saw that Sennacherim was come, and [that] his face [was set] to fight against Jerusalem.
Hisqiyaasis yommuu akka Senaaheriib dhufee Yerusaalemin loluu barbaade argetti,
3 And he took counsel with his elders and his mighty [men] to stop the wells of water which were without the city: and they helped him.
burqaa bishaanii kan magaalaan ala jiru cufuuf qondaaltota isaa fi loltoota isaa wajjin mariʼate; isaanis isa gargaaran.
4 And he collected many people, and stopped the wells of water, and the river that flowed through the city, saying, Lest the king of Assyria come, and find much water, and strengthen [himself].
Namoonni akka malee hedduun walitti qabamanii, “Mootonni Asoor maaliif dhufanii bishaan baayʼee argatan?” jedhanii burqaawwanii fi lageen biyya sana keessa yaaʼan hunda ni cufan.
5 And Ezekias strengthened [himself], and built all the wall that had been pulled down, and the towers, and another wall in front without, and fortified the strong place of the city of David, and prepared arms in abundance.
Ergasii mootichi jabaatee hojjechuudhaan dallaawwan dhagaa kanneen jijjigan hunda dhaabuudhaan gamoowwan eegumsaa achi irratti ijaare. Isaan alatti immoo dallaawwan biraa ijaaree daangaa Magaalaa Daawit cimse. Akkasumas miʼoota lolaa fi gaachanawwan baayʼee hojjete.
6 And he appointed captains of war over the people, and they were gathered to [meet] him to the open place of the gate of the valley, and he encouraged them, saying,
Innis ajajjoota loltootaa uummata irratti muudee oobdii karra magaalaa irratti fuula isaa duratti walitti qabee akkana jedhee isaan jajjabeesse;
7 Be strong and courageous, and fear not, neither be dismayed before the King of Assyria, and before all the nation that [is] with him: for [there are] more with us than with him.
“Jabaadhaa; cimaa. Isin sababii mooticha Asoorii fi sababii loltoota akka malee baayʼee kanneen isa wajjin jiran sanaatiif jettanii hin sodaatinaa; humni nu wajjin jiru kan isa wajjin jiru caalaatii.
8 With him [are] arms of flesh; but with us [is] the Lord our God to save [us], and to fight our battle. And the people were encouraged at the words of Ezekias king of Juda.
Kan isa wajjin jiru humna foonii qofaa dha; kan nu wajjin jiru garuu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya isa nu gargaaruu fi isa lola keenya nuuf loluu dha.” Uummanni dubbii Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatiin jajjabaate.
9 And afterward Sennacherim king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem; and [he went] himself against Lachis, and all his army with him, and sent to Ezekias king of Juda, and to all Juda that [was] in Jerusalem, saying,
Kana booddees Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor utuma loltoota isaa hunda wajjin Laakkiish marsee jiruu, harka ajajjoota loltoota isaatti akkana jedhee gara Yerusaalemitti Hisqiyaasii fi namoota Yihuudaa kanneen achi jiran hundatti ergaa kana erge:
10 Thus says Sennacherim king of the Assyrians, On what do ye trust, that ye will remain in the siege in Jerusalem?
“Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor akkana jedha: Yerusaalem ishee marfamte kana keessa turuun keessan of amanachuu kee maal irratti hundeeffatte?
11 Does not Ezekias deceive you, to deliver you to death and famine and thirst, saying, The Lord our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Hisqiyaas, ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya harka mootii Asoor jalaa nu baasa’ jechuun isaa akka isin beelaa fi dheebuudhaan dhumtaniif mitii?
12 Is not this Ezekias who has taken down his altars and his high places and has spoken to Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before this altar and burn incense upon it?
Namni Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemiin, ‘Isin iddoo aarsaa tokko duratti sagaduu fi isuma irratti aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessuu qabdu’ jedhee iddoowwan sagadaa fi iddoowwan aarsaa Waaqa kanaa balleesse Hisqiyaasuma mataa isaa mitii?
13 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done to all the nations of the countries? Could the gods of the nations of all the earth at all rescue their people out of my hand?
“Isin waan anii fi abbootiin koo saboota biyyoota biraa hunda goone hin beektanii? Waaqonni saboota sanaa biyya isaanii harka koo jalaa takkumaa baasuu dandaʼaniiruu?
14 Who is there among all the gods of those nations whom my fathers utterly destroyed, [worthy of trust]? Could they deliver their people out of my hand, that your God should deliver you out of my hand?
Waaqota abbootiin koo balleessan kanneen hunda keessaa isa kamtu saba isaa harka koo keessaa baasuu dandaʼe? Yoos Waaqni keessan akkamitti harka koo keessaa isin baasuu dandaʼa ree?
15 Now then, let not Ezekias deceive you, and let him not make you thus confident, and believe him not: for no god of any kingdom or nation is at all able to deliver his people out of my hand, or the hand of my fathers: therefore your God shall not deliver you out of my hand.
Ammas Hisqiyaas akkasitti isin gowwoomsee karaa irraa isin hin jalʼisin. Waaqni saba yookaan mootummaa kamii iyyuu saba isaa harka koo yookaan harka abbootii koo jalaa baasuu hin dandeenyeetii isa hin amaninaa. Waaqni keessan immoo harka kootii isin baasuuf hammam haa yaratu ree!”
16 And his servants continued to speak against the Lord God, and against his servant Ezekias.
Qondaaltonni Senaaheriibis waan kana caalaa hedduu Waaqayyo Waaqaa fi Hisqiyaas garbicha isaa irratti ni dubbatan.
17 And he wrote a letter to reproach the Lord God of Israel, and spoke concerning him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the earth have not delivered their people out of my hand, so the God of Ezekias shall by no means deliver his people out of my hand.
Mootichis akkasuma Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel arrabsuudhaan, waan hamaa illee isatti dubbachuudhaan, “Akkuma waaqonni biyyoota biraa saba isaanii harka koo jalaa baasuu hin dandaʼin sana Waaqni Hisqiyaasis saba isaa harka koo jalaa oolchuu hin dandaʼu” jedhee xalayaa barreesse.
18 And he cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem on the wall, [calling them] to assist them, and pull down [the walls], that they might take the city.
Kana irratti isaan naasisuu fi sodaachisuudhaan magaalaa sana qabachuudhaaf saba Yerusaalem kan dallaa dhagaa irra tureetti afaan Ibraayisxiitiin sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii iyyan.
19 And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, even as against the gods of the nations of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
Isaan akkuma waaʼee waaqota saboota addunyaa biraa kanneen harka namaatiin hojjetaman sanaa dubbatan sana waaʼee Waaqa Yerusaalem dubbatan.
20 And king Ezekias and Esaias the prophet the son of Amos prayed concerning these things, and they cried to heaven.
Hisqiyaas Mootichii fi Isaayyaas raajichi ilmi Amoos waaʼee waan kanaatiif kadhannaadhaan gara samiitti ol iyyan.
21 And the Lord sent an angel, and he destroyed every mighty man and warrior, and leader and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria: and he returned with shame of face to his own land and came into the house of his god: and [some] of them that came out of his bowels slew him with the sword.
Waaqayyos ergamaa isaa tokko itti erge; ergamaan sunis qubata loltoota mooticha Asoor keessatti loltoota, hooggantootaa fi ajajjoota loltootaa ni balleesse. Kanaafuu mootichi salphinaan gara biyya isaatti deebiʼe. Yeroo inni galma Waaqa isaa seenettis ilmaan isaa achumatti goraadeedhaan isa cicciran.
22 So the Lord delivered Ezekias and the dwellers in Jerusalem out of the hand of Sennacherim King of Assyria, and out of the hand of all [his enemies], and gave them rest round about.
Waaqayyo akkasiin Hisqiyaasii fi namoota Yerusaalem harka Senaaheriib mooticha Asoorii fi harka diinota isaa hundaa jalaa ni baase. Inni karaa hundaan isaan eege.
23 And many brought gifts to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezekias king of Juda; and he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations after these things.
Namoonni baayʼeenis gara Yerusaalemitti Waaqayyoof aarsaa fidan; Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatiif immoo kennaa gatii guddaa fidan. Innis yeroo sanaa jalqabee fuula saboota hundaa duratti ulfina argate.
24 In those days Ezekias was sick even to death, and prayed to the Lord: and he hearkened to him, and gave him a sign.
Bara sana keessa Hisqiyaas dhukkubsatee duʼuu gaʼe. Innis Waaqayyoon ni kadhate; Waaqayyos deebii kennee fi mallattoo dinqisiisaa isa argisiise.
25 But Ezekias did not recompense the Lord according to the return which he made him, but his heart was lifted up: and wrath came upon him, and upon Juda and Jerusalem.
Hisqiyaas garuu garaa isaatti of tuule malee waan gaarii isaaf godhameef deebii malu hin kennine; kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isatti, Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemitti dhufe.
26 And Ezekias humbled himself after the exaltation of his heart, he and the dwellers in Jerusalem; and the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Ezekias.
Kana irratti Hisqiyaas akkuma namoota Yerusaalem sanaa of tuulummaa garaa isaa irraa ni deebiʼe; kanaafuu bara Hisqiyaas keessa dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isaanitti hin dhufne.
27 And Ezekias had wealth and very great glory: and he made for himself treasuries of gold, and silver, and precious stones, also for spices, and stores for arms, and for precious vessels;
Hisqiyaas qabeenya akka malee baayʼee fi ulfina guddaa qaba ture; innis meetii isaaf, warqee isaaf, dhagaawwan isaa gati jabeeyyiif, urgooftuuwwan isaaf, gaachanawwan isaa fi miʼoota garaa garaa kanneen gatii guddaa qaban hundaaf mankuusa ni ijaare.
28 and cities for the produce of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls and mangers for every [kind of] cattle, and folds for flocks;
Akkasumas midhaaniif gombisaa ijaare; daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiidhaaf qodaa itti kuusan qopheesse; loon gosa hundaaf dallaa, bushaayeef immoo gola ni ijaare.
29 and cities which he built for himself, and store of sheep and oxen in abundance, for the Lord gave him a very great store.
Innis sababii Waaqni badhaadhummaa guddaa isaaf kenneef bushaayee baayʼee, karra loonii hedduus horatee magaalaawwanis ni ijaarrate.
30 The same Ezekias stopped up the course of the water of Gion above, and brought the water down straight south of the city of David. And Ezekias prospered in all his works.
Namni afaan burqaa Giihoon kan olii cufee bishaan isaa gara lixa Magaalaa Daawititti jalʼise Hisqiyaasuma kana. Hojiin isaa hundis ni milkaaʼeef.
31 Notwithstanding, in regard to the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who were sent to him to enquire of him [concerning] the prodigy which came upon the land, the Lord left him, to try him, to know what was in his heart.
Garuu yeroo bulchitoonni Baabilon waaʼee hojii dinqii kan biyya sanatti hojjetamee isa gaafachuuf ergamoota erganitti Waaqni isa qoruu fi waan garaa isaa keessa jiru ilaaluudhaaf isa dhiise.
32 And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and his kindness, behold, they are written in the prophecy of Esaias the son of Amos the prophet, and in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Wantoonni bara mootummaa Hisqiyaas keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa fi gaarummaan isaa mulʼata Isaayyaas raajicha ilma Amoos, kitaaba mootota Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru.
33 And Ezekias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in a high place among the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem gave him glory and honour at his death. And Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
Hisqiyaasis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee lafa awwaala sanyiiwwan Daawititti gaara irratti awwaalame. Yeroo inni duʼettis Yihuudaa fi sabni Yerusaalem hundinuu isa kabajan. Ilmi isaa Minaaseen iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
