2 Kings 18
1 In the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elah, the king of Israel: Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, reigned as king of Judah.
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Hosea, zanak’ i Elaha, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Hezekia, zanak’ i Ahaza, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
Dimy amby roa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary nanjaka sivy amby roa-polo taona tany Jerosalema izy. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Aby, zanakavavin’ i Zakaria.
3 And he did what was good before the Lord, in accord with all that his father David had done.
Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Davida rainy.
4 He destroyed the high places, and he crushed the statues, and he cut down the sacred groves. And he broke apart the bronze serpent, which Moses had made. For even until that time, the sons of Israel were burning incense to it. And he called its name Nehushtan.
Izy no nandrava ny fitoerana avo sy namakivaky ny tsangam-baton-tsampy sy nikapa ny Aserahany ary nanorotoro ny menarana varahina izay nataon’ i Mosesy; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tamin’ iny hatramin’ izany andro izany aza; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Nehostana.
5 He hoped in the Lord, the God of Israel. And after him, there was no one similar to him, among all the kings of Judah, nor even among any of those who were before him.
Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no nitokiany, ka dia tsy nisy tahaka azy tamin’ izay rehetra mpanjakan’ ny Joda, na ny teo aoriany, na ny teo alohany
6 And he clung to the Lord, and he did not withdraw from his footsteps, and he carried out his commandments, which the Lord had instructed to Moses.
Fa nifikitra tamin’ i Jehovah izy ka tsy niala tamin’ ny fanarahana Azy, fa nitandrina ny didy izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
7 Therefore, the Lord was also with him. And he conducted himself wisely in all the things to which he went forth. Also, he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and he did not serve him.
Ary Jehovah nomba azy, ka dia nambinina tamin’ izay nalehany rehetra izy; ary niodina tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria izy ka tsy nanompo azy.
8 He struck the Philistines as far as Gaza, and in all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Izy no namely ny Filistina hatrany Gaza sy ny fari-taniny, ka noravany avokoa hatramin’ ny tilikambon’ ny mpiambina ka hatramin’ ny tanàna mimànda.
9 In the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, the son of Elah, the king of Israel: Shalmaneser, the king of the Assyrians, ascended to Samaria, and he fought against it,
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Hezekia mpanjaka (dia ny taona fahafito nanjakan’ i Hosea, zanak’ i Elaha, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izany) no niakaran’ i Salmanesera mpanjakan’ i Asyria, hamely an’ i Samaria sy nanaovany fahirano azy.
10 and he seized it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, in the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Israel, Samaria was captured.
Ary nony tapitra ny telo taona, dia afak’ ireo ny tanàna; dia tamin’ ny taona fahenina nanjakan’ i Hezekia, izay taona fahasivy nanjakan’ i Hosea, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no nahafahana an’ i Samaria.
11 And the king of the Assyrians took away Israel into Assyria. And he located them in Halah and in Habor, at the rivers of Gozan, in the cities of the Medes.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nitondra ny Isiraely ho babo tany Asyria ka nametraka azy tao Hala sy teo amoron’ i Habora, onin’ i Gozana, ary teny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Mediana,
12 For they did not listen to the voice of the Lord, their God. Instead, they transgressed his covenant. All that Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed, they would neither hear, nor do.
Satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy, fa nivadika ny fanekeny, dia izay rehetra nandidian’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, ka tsy nihaino na nankato izany izy.
13 In the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, went up to all the fortified cities of Judah, and he captured them.
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Hezekia mpanjaka dia niakatra Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, hamely ny tanàna mimànda rehetra any Joda ka nahafaka azy.
14 Then Hezekiah, the king of Judah, sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians at Lachish, saying: “I have offended. Withdraw from me, and all that you will impose upon me, I will bear.” And so the king of the Assyrians levied a tax upon Hezekiah, the king of Judah, of three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Ary Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria tany Lakisy nanao hoe: Efa diso aho, ialao aho, fa izay hampitondrainao ahy dia ho entiko. Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nampandoa an’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, talenta volafotsy telon-jato sy talenta volamena telo-polo.
15 And Hezekiah gave all the silver that had been found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasuries of the king.
Ary Hezekia nanome azy ny volafotsy rehetra izay hita tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy tao amin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
16 At that time, Hezekiah broke apart the doors of the temple of the Lord, with the plates of gold which he had affixed to them. And he gave these to the king of the Assyrians.
Tamin’ izany andro izany no nanendahan’ i Hezekia ny volamena tamin’ ny varavaran’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah sy tamin’ ny tolana, dia ilay efa napetak’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; ary dia nomeny ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria izany.
17 Then the king of the Assyrians sent Tartan, and Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh, from Lachish, to king Hezekiah, with a powerful hand, to Jerusalem. And when they had ascended, they arrived in Jerusalem, and they stood beside the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is along the way of the fuller’s field.
Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria naniraka an’ i Tartana sy Raba-sarisa ary Rabsake mbamin’ ny miaramila betsaka avy teo Lakisy hankany Jerosalema ho any amin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka. Dia niakatra ireny ka tonga tany Jerosalema; ary nony tonga teo izy, dia nitsangana teo anilan’ ny lakan-drano amin’ ny kamory ambony, teo an-dalambe mankamin’ ny sahan’ ny mpamotsy lamba.
18 And they called for the king. But there went out to them Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the keeper of records.
Ary nony efa niantso ny mpanjaka izy, dia nivoaka ho eo aminy Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia, izay lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary Joa, zanak’ i Asafa, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana.
19 And Rabshakeh said to them: “Speak to Hezekiah: Thus says the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this faith, in which you strive?
Dia hoy Rabsake tamin’ ireo: Andeha, lazao amin’ i Hezekia hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka lehibe, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Inona izato itokianao?
20 Perhaps, you have taken counsel, so that you would prepare yourself for battle. In whom do you trust, so that you would dare to rebel?
Hoy ianao (nefa teny foana izany): Manana saina sy hery hiady aho. Koa iza no itokianao, no miodina amiko ianao?
21 Do you hope in Egypt, that staff of a broken reed, which, if a man would lean upon it, breaking, it would pierce his hand? Such is Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to all who would trust in him.
Fa, indro, ianao matoky io tehina volotara torotoro io, dia Egypta, nefa raha itehenan’ olona iny, dia manindrona ny tànany miboroaka; tahaka izany Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, amin’ izay rehetra matoky azy.
22 But if you say to me: ‘We have faith in the Lord, our God.’ Is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away? And did he not instruct Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You shall adore before this altar in Jerusalem?’
Ary raha hoy ianareo amiko: Jehovah Andriamanitray no itokianay, moa tsy Azy va ny fitoerana avo aman’ alitara izay noravan’ i Hezekia, izay nilaza tamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema hoe: Eto anoloan’ ity alitara eto Jerosalema ity no hiankohofanareo?
23 Now therefore, cross over to my lord, the king of the Assyrians, and I will give to you two thousand horses, and we will see if you even have enough riders for them.
Koa aoka hifaninana ianao sy ny tompoko, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, fa homeko soavaly roa arivo ianao, raha tàhiny manana olona hitaingina azy.
24 So how can you resist one prince from the least of my lord’s servants? Do you have faith in Egypt because of the chariots and horsemen?
Hataonao ahoana no fampiamboho ny komandy iray amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tompoko, na dia izay kely indrindra aminy aza? Nefa matoky an’ i Egypta ianao hahazoanao kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly.
25 Is it not by the will of the Lord that I have chosen to ascend to this place, so that I may destroy it? The Lord said to me: ‘Ascend to this land, and destroy it.’”
Koa moa haitraitro va izao niakarako izao? Tsia, fa Jehovah no naniraka ahy handrava ity tany ity ka nanao hoe: Miakara hamely ity tany ity, ka ravao izy.
26 Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh: “We beseech you, that you may speak to us, your servants, in Syriac. For we understand that language to some extent. And do not speak to us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people, who are upon the wall.”
Dia hoy Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia, sy Sebna ary Joa tamin-dRabsake: Masìna ianao, teny Syriana no ataovy aminay mpanomponao, fa fantatray ihany izany; fa aza manao teny Jiosy ho ren’ ny olona eny ambonin’ ny mànda.
27 And Rabshakeh responded to them, saying: “Has my lord sent me to your lord and to you, so that I may speak these words, and not instead to the men who are sitting upon the wall, so that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?”
Fa hoy Rabsake taminy: Moa ho amin’ ny tomponao sy ianao akory va no nanirahan’ ny tompoko ahy hilaza izao teny izao, fa tsy ho amin’ ny olona izay mipetraka eny ambonin’ ny manda, hihinanany izay tsy fihinany sy hisotroany izay tsy fisotrony miaraka aminareo?
28 And so, Rabshakeh stood up, and he exclaimed in a great voice, in the Jews’ language, and he said: “Listen to the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
Dia nijoro teo Rabsake ka niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery tamin’ ny teny Jiosy hoe: Henoy ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka lehibe, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria:
29 Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah lead you astray. For he will not be able to rescue you from my hand.
Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Aza mety ho fitahin’ i Hezekia ianareo, fa tsy hahavonjy anareo amin’ ny tanako izy tsy akory.
30 And do not let him give you faith in the Lord, saying: ‘The Lord will rescue and free us, and this city will not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.’
Ary aza mety hampahatokin’ i Hezetia an’ i Jehovah ianareo amin’ ny anaovany hoe: Jehovah no hamonjy antsika tokoa; ary tsy hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria tsy akory ity tanàna ity.
31 Do not choose to listen to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of the Assyrians: Do with me what is for your own good, and come out to me. And each one of you will eat from his own vine, and from his own fig tree. And you shall drink water from your own wells,
Aza mihaino an’ i Hezekia; fa izao no lazain’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Manaova fanekena amiko hiadanana, ka mankanesa atỳ amiko, ary samia homana ny voalobony sy ny aviaviny, ary samia misotro ny rano avy amin’ ny lavaka famorian-dranony avy ianareo,
32 until I arrive and transfer you into a land, similar to your own land, a fruitful and fertile land of wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olives and oil and honey. And you will live, and not die. Do not choose to listen to Hezekiah, who deceives you, saying: ‘The Lord will free us.’
mandra-pihaviko hitondra anareo ho any amin’ izay tany tahaka ny taninareo, dia tany misy vary sy ranom-boaloboka, tany misy mofo sy tanim-boaloboka, tany misy oliva tsara diloilo sy tantely, mba ho velona ianareo, fa tsy ho faty, ary aza mihaino an’ i Hezekia, raha izy manome vohony anareo amin’ ny anaovany hoe: Jehovah no hamonjy antsika.
33 Have any of the gods of the nations freed their land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
Moa nisy nahavonjy ny taniny tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria va ireo andriamanitry ny firenena?
34 Where is the god of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where is the god of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and of Avva? Have they freed Samaria from my hand?
Aiza moa ireo andriamanitr’ i Hamata sy Arpada? Ary aiza koa ireo andriamanitr’ i Sefarvaima sy Hena ary Iva? Nahavonjy an’ i Samaria tamin’ ny tanako va ireo andriamaniny?
35 Which ones among all the gods of the lands have rescued their region from my hand, so that the Lord would be able to rescue Jerusalem from my hand?”
Iza moa amin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra amin’ ny tany no efa nahavonjy ny taniny tamin’ ny tanako, koa aiza no hahavonjen’ i Jehovah an’ i Jerosalema amin’ ny tanako?
36 But the people were silent, and they did not respond at all to him. For indeed, they had received an instruction from the king that they should not respond to him.
Nefa nangina ny olona, ka tsy nisy namaly azy na dia teny indraim-bava akory aza, satria ny mpanjaka efa nandidy hoe: Aza misy mamaly azy.
37 And Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the keeper of records, went to Hezekiah with their garments torn. And they reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.
Ary Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia izay lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary Joa, zanak’ i Asafa, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana, dia niditra nankao amin’ i Hezekia, sady voatriatra ny fitafiany, ary nilaza taminy ny tenin-dRabsake izy.
