Kings IV 18
1 And it came to pass in the third year of Osee son of Ela king of Israel [that] Ezekias son of Achaz king of Juda began to reign.
In yac aktolu ke pacl Hoshea wen natul Elah el tokosra lun Israel, Hezekiah wen natul Ahaz, el tokosrala lun Judah
2 Five and twenty years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name [was] Abu, daughter of Zacharias.
ke el yac longoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac longoul eu. Nina kial pa Abijah, acn natul Zechariah.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David did.
Hezekiah el oru ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD, oana ouiya lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal.
4 He removed the high places, and broke in pieces the pillars, and utterly destroyed the groves, and the brazen serpent which Moses made: because until those days the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called it Neesthan.
El kunausla acn in alu lun mwet pegan, kunausya sru eot, ac pakiya ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah. El oayapa kotkoteya serpent bronze soko su pangpang Nehushtan ma Moses el tuh orala. Mwet Israel elos srakna akosak mwe keng in akfulatye serpent soko inge nwe in pacl sac.
5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel; and after him there was not any like him among the kings of Juda, nor among those that were before him.
Hezekiah el lulalfongi LEUM GOD lun Israel. Wangin tokosra lun mwet Judah meet lukel ku tok lukel oana el.
6 And he clave to the Lord, he departed not from following him; and he kept his commandments, as many as he commanded Moses.
El inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD, ac wangin pacl el tia aksol. El arulana karinganang ma sap nukewa su LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Moses.
7 And the Lord was with him; and he was wise in all that he undertook: and he revolted from the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El welul, ac wo ouiyal in ma nukewa el oru. El tuyak lain Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, ac tiana eisalang nu sel.
8 He smote the Philistines [even] to Gaza, and to the border of it, from the tower of the watchmen even to the strong city.
El kutangla mwet Philistia ac utyak eisla ma lalos in acn srisrik nwe ke siti lulap, weang acn Gaza ac acn ma raunela.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Ezekias (this is the seventh year of Osee son of Ela king of Israel, ) [that] Salamanassar king of the Assyrians came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
In yac akakosr ke pacl Hezekiah el tokosra — su yac akitkosr ma Hoshea el leumi acn Israel — Tokosra Fulat Shalmaneser lun Assyria el utyak mweuni acn Israel ac kuhlusya Samaria.
10 And he took it at the end of three years, in the sixth year of Ezekias, (this [is] the ninth year of Osee king of Israel, when Samaria was taken.)
Ke yac aktolu ma kuhlusyuki acn we, Samaria ikori. Ma inge sikyak ke yac akonkosr ma Hezekiah el tokosra, ac yac akeu ma Hoshea el tokosra.
11 And the king of the Assyrians carried away the Samaritans to Assyria, and put them in Alae and in Abor, [by] the river Gozan, and [in] the mountains of the Medes;
Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el usla mwet Israel in mwet sruoh in acn Assyria, ac oakiya kutu selos in siti Halah, ac kutu apkuran nu ke Infacl Habor in acn Gozan, ac kutu in siti lun Media.
12 because they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord their God, and transgressed his covenant, [even] in all things that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, and hearkened not [to them], nor did [them].
Acn Samaria ikori, mweyen mwet Israel elos tia akos LEUM GOD lalos, a elos kunausla wulela ma El orala yorolos, ac seakos ma sap nukewa ma Moses mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD el tuh sang nu selos. Elos tiana lungse porongo, ac tiana akos.
13 And in the fourteenth year of king Ezekias came up Sennacherim king of the Assyrians against the strong cities of Juda, and took them.
In yac aksingoul akosr ke Tokosra Hezekiah el leum, Tokosra Fulat Sennacherib lun Assyria el mweuni siti ma potiyukyak lun Judah ac eisla acn inge.
14 And Ezekias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians to Lachis, saying, I have offended; depart from me: whatsoever thou shalt lay upon me, I will bear. And the king of Assyria laid upon Ezekias king of Juda [a tribute of] three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.
Hezekiah el sapla nu sel Sennacherib su muta Lachish, ac fahk, “Tafongla ma nga oru. Nunak munas, tui ac tia mweuniyu, ac nga ac fah akfalye lupa na kom fahk nga in moli.” Ac Tokosra Fulat el topuk mu Hezekiah elan supwala longoul tausin paun in silver ac luo tausin paun in gold.
15 And Ezekias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.
Na Hezekiah el supwala silver nukewa ma oan in Tempul ac ma oan in nien filma saok inkul sin tokosra.
16 At that time Ezekias cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple, and [from] the pillars which Ezekias king of Juda [had] overlaid with gold, and gave it to the king of the Assyrians.
El oayapa takusla gold nukewa ma sang yunela srungul ke Tempul, ac gold ma el sifacna sang nawela sukan srungul, ac supwala ma inge nufon nu sel Sennacherib.
17 And the king of the Assyrians sent Tharthan and Raphis and Rapsakes from Lachis to king Ezekias with a strong force against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is by the way of the fuller's field.
Na Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el supwala un mwet mweun na yohk se lal liki acn Lachish nu Jerusalem in tuh mweunel Hezekiah, su kolyuk sin mwet tolu ma fulat emeet sin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal. Ke elos sun acn Jerusalem elos tui ke innek soko ma mwet owo nuknuk orekma we sisken na laf soko ma use kof ke lulu se ma oan lucng ah.
18 And they cried to Ezekias: and there came to him Heliakim the son of Chelcias the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and Joas the son of Saphat the recorder.
Na elos sapla solal Tokosra Hezekiah ac tolu sin mwet leum lal, ac som in osun nu selos. Elos inge pa Eliakim, wen natul Hilkiah su mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim ke inkul lun tokosra; ac Joah wen natul Asaph, su liyaung ma simusla.
19 And Rapsakes said to them, Say now to Ezekias, Thus says the king, the great king of the Assyrians, What [is] this confidence wherein thou trustest?
Sie sin mwet fulat lun acn Assyria inge fahkang nu selos lah Tokosra Fulat el ke etu lah mea Tokosra Hezekiah el kukin uh.
20 Thou hast said, (but [they are] mere words, ) [I have] counsel and strength for war. Now then in whom dost thou trust, that thou hast revolted from me?
El fahk ouinge, “Ku kom nunku mu kas uh ku in sang lain ku lulap ac pisrla ke mweun? Su kom lulalfongi mu ac kasrekom lain acn Assyria?
21 See now, art thou trusting for thyself on this broken staff of reed, [even] upon Egypt? whosoever shall stay himself upon it, it shall even go into his hand, and pierce it: so [is] Pharao king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
Kom lulalfongi mu Egypt ac kasrekom, tuh fin ouinge, ac oana ke kom sikalkin loa soko — ac kaptelik twe kanteya poum. Pa ingan luman tokosra Egypt nu sin mwet su tupan kasru sel uh.”
22 And whereas thou hast said to me, We trust on the Lord God: [is] not this he, whose high places and altars Ezekias has removed, and has said to Juda and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
Ac mwet leum sac lun Assyria tafwela ac fahk, “Ku kom ac fahk nu sik lah kom ac lulalfongi na LEUM GOD lom an? Nien alu ac loang lun LEUM GOD pa Hezekiah el kunausla ke el tuh fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem elos in alu ke loang se in Jerusalem ah mukena.
23 And now, I pray you, make and agreement with my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou shalt be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
Nga ac oru sie pwapa nu sum ke inen Tokosra Fulat. Nga ac sot nu sum tausin luo ke horse kom fin ku in konauk pisen mwet ma ac fal in kasrusr fac!
24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one petty governor, from among the least of my lord's servants? whereas thou trustest for thyself on Egypt for chariots and horsemen.
Finne mwet ma srik emeet wal la sin mwet leum lun Assyria, kom tia fal in lain, sruk kom lulalfongi mu mwet Egypt ac supwama chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse nu sum!
25 And now have we come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Ya kom nunku mu nga mweuni facl sum an ac kunausla sayen kasru sin LEUM GOD? LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk nu sik mu ngan mweuni ac kunausla acn uh.”
26 And Heliakim the son of Chelkias, and Somnas, and Joas, said to Rapsakes, Speak now to thy servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it; and speak not with us in the Jewish language: and why dost thou speak in the ears of the people that are on the wall?
Na Eliakim, Shebna, ac Joah fahk nu sin mwet leum sac, “Kaskas nu sesr ke kas Aramaic. Kut kalem kac. Nimet kas Hebrew, mweyen mwet nukewa fin pot uh elos lohng pac ma kom fahk an.”
27 And Rapsakes said to them, Has my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [has he] not [sent me] to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own water together with you.
Ac el topuk, “Ku komtal nunku mu komtal na 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 an, su ac fah kang fohkoltal ac nim kifwaltal, oana komtal.”
28 And Rapsakes stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, and said, Hear the words of the great king of the Assyrians:
Na mwet leum se inge tuyak ac sala ke kas Hebrew ac fahk, “Lohng ma Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el fahk nu sumtal inge.
29 thus says the king, Let not Ezekias encourage you with words: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
El mu komtal in taran Hezekiah elan tia kiapwekomtalla. Hezekiah el tia ku in molikomtalla.
30 And let not Ezekias cause you to trust on the Lord, saying, The Lord will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians: hearken not to Ezekias:
Ac nimet lela elan kifus komtal in filiya lulalfongi lomtal in LEUM GOD, mu El ac molikomtalla ac tulokinya mwet mweun lasr uh in tia sruokya siti sumtal an.
31 for thus says the king of the Assyrians, Gain my favour, and come forth to me, and every man shall drink [of the wine] of his own vine, and every man shall eat of his own fig-tree, and shall drink water out of his own cistern;
Nimet lohng ma Hezekiah el fahk. Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el sapkin nu sumtal in illa liki siti an ac srasrapo nu sel. Na el ac fah lela tuh kais sie sumtal in mongo ke fokin ima grape lal ac fokinsak fig sunal, ac nim kof ke luf in kof lal sifacna,
32 until I come and remove you to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, and bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil, and honey, and ye shall live and not die: and do not ye hearken to Ezekias, for he deceives you, saying, The Lord shall deliver you.
nwe ke Tokosra Fulat el sifilpa oakikomtal uh in sie facl su apkuran in oana facl sumtal, yen ma oasr ima in grape we in orek wain, ac oasr pac wheat in orek bread — sie facl oasr olive, ac oil in olive ac honey we. Komtal fin oru ma el sapkin inge komtal ac tia misa, a komtal ac moulna. Nimet lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekomtal mu LEUM GOD El ac molikomtalla.
33 Have the Gods of the nations at all delivered each their own land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
Ku oasr god lun kutena facl ma molela facl selos liki Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria?
34 Where is the god of Haemath, and of Arphad? where is the god of Seppharvaim, Ana, and Aba? for have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
God lun Hamath ac Arpad eltal oasr ya inge? Ac pia god lun Sepharvaim, Hena, ac Ivvah? Ku oasr sie nu molela acn Samaria?
35 Who [is there] among all the gods of the countries, who have delivered their countries out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Pia pacl ma god lun facl nukewa inge molela facl selos liki Tokosra Fulat lasr uh? Na mea oru komtal nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac ku in molela Jerusalem uh?”
36 But [the men] were silent, and answered him not a word: for [there was] a commandment of the king, saying, Ye shall not answer him.
Mwet uh mihselik, oana ma Tokosra Hezekiah el tuh fahk nu selos, ac elos tiana fahkla sie kas.
37 And Heliakim the son of Chelcias, the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and Joas the son of Saphat the recorder came in to Ezekias, having rent their garments; and they reported to him the words of Rapsakes.
Na Eliakim, Shebna, ac Joah eltal asor ac seya nuknuk laltal, ac eltal folokla ac fahkang nu sin tokosra ma mwet leum se lun Assyria el fahk ac.
