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.
E higa mar adek mar loch Hoshea wuod Ela ruodh Israel, Hezekia wuod Ahaz ruodh Juda nodoko ruoth.
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.
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 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David did.
Notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka kwar mare Daudi notimo.
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.
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 trusted in the Lord God of Israel; and after him there was not any like him amongst the kings of Juda, nor amongst those that 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 And he clave to the Lord, he departed not from following him; and he kept his commandments, as many as he commanded 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; and he was wise in all that he undertook: and he revolted from the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode, kendo ne odhi maber e gik moko duto mane otimo. Nongʼanyone ruodh Asuria kendo ne ok otiyone.
8 He struck the Philistines [even] to Gaza, and to the border of it, from the tower of the watchmen even to the strong city.
Noloyo jo-Filistia chakre kuonde ngʼicho motingʼore gi malo nyaka dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno, mochopo nyaka Gaza gi mier mokiewo kode.
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.
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 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.)
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 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;
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 listened 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 listened not [to them], nor did [them].
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 And in the fourteenth year of king Ezekias came up Sennacherim king of the Assyrians against the strong cities of Juda, 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 Ezekias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians to Lachis, saying, I have offended; depart from me: whatever you shall 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.
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 And Ezekias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.
Omiyo Hezekia nomiye fedha duto mane oyud e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye to gi ute keno duto mag od ruoth.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
Kane giluongo ruoth, to Eliakim wuod Hilkia jatend od ruoth, Shebna jagoro kendo Joa wuod Asaf mane jachan weche nodhi irgi.
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 you trust?
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 have said, (but [they are] mere words, ) [I have] counsel and strength for war. Now then in whom do you trust, that you have revolted from me?
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, are you trusting for yourself on this broken staff of reed, [even] upon Egypt? whoever 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.
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 whereas you have 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, You shall worship 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, I pray you, make and agreement with my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you shall be able on your part to set riders upon them.
“‘Biuru sani mondo uwinjru gi ruodha, ma en ruodh Asuria: Abiro miyou farese alufu ariyo, ka unyalo yudo joma riembogi!
24 How then will you turn away the face of one petty governor, from amongst the least of my lord's servants? whereas you trust for yourself on Egypt for chariots 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 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.
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 And Heliakim the son of Chelkias, and Somnas, and Joas, said to Rapsakes, Speak now to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it; and speak not with us in the Jewish language: and why do you speak in the ears of the people that are 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 And Rapsakes said to them, Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, 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.
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 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:
Eka jatend lweny nochungʼ moluongo matek gi dho jo-Hibrania niya, “Winjuru wach moa kuom ruoth maduongʼ, ma en ruodh Asuria!
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.
Ma e gima ruoth wacho: Kik uyie Hezekia wuondu nikech ok onyal resou e lweta.
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: listen not to Ezekias:
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 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;
“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 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 you shall live and not die: and do not you listen to Ezekias, for he deceives you, saying, The Lord shall deliver you.
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 Have the Gods of the nations at all delivered each their own land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
Bende nyaka nene nyasach piny moro amora osereso ogandane e lwet ruodh Asuria?
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?
Ere nyiseche mag Hamath gi Arpad? Ere nyiseche mag Sefarvaim, Hena kod Iva? Bende ne gireso Samaria e lweta?
35 Who [is there] amongst 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?
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 men] were silent, and answered him not a word: for [there was] a commandment of the king, saying, You shall not answer him.
To ji duto nolingʼ thi maonge ngʼama dwoko nimar ruoth Hezekia nosegolo chik niya, “Kik udwoke.”
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 tore their garments; and they reported to him the words of Rapsakes.
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.
