Isaiah 36
1 And it happened that, in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, went up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and he seized them.
E higa mar apar gangʼwen mar loch Ruoth Hezekia, Senakerib ruodh Asuria nomonjo mier madongo duto mochiel motegno mag Juda mokawogi.
2 And the king of the Assyrians sent Rabshakeh from Lachish into Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, with a great force, and he stood near the aqueduct of the upper pool, at the road to the fuller’s field.
Eka ruodh Asuria ne ooro jatend lweny gi ogandane mag lweny koa Lakish mondo odhi ir Ruoth Hezekia Jerusalem. Kane jatend lweny ochopo kuno, ne ochungʼ but Soko Mamalo mantie e yo miluongo ni Puoth Jaluoko.
3 And those who went to him were Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna, the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the historian.
Eliakim wuod Hilkia ma jatend od ruoth, gi Shebna jagoro kod Joa wuod Asaf mane jachan weche, nodhi ire kanyo.
4 And Rabshakeh said to them: “Tell Hezekiah: Thus says the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this faith in which you believe?
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?
5 And by what counsel or strength would you prepare to rebel? In whom do you have faith, so much so that you would withdraw 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?
6 Behold, you are trusting in Egypt, in that broken staff of a reed. But if a man were to lean against it, it would enter his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, to all who trust 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.
7 But if you answer me by saying: ‘We trust in the Lord our God.’ Is it not his high places and altars that Hezekiah has taken away? And he has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar.’
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 kendo mar misangoni kende”?
8 And now, hand yourselves over to my lord, the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, and you will not be able to find riders for them on your own.
“‘Biuru sani mondo uwinjru gi ruodha, ma en ruodh Asuria: Abiro miyou farese alufu ariyo, ka unyalo yudo joma riembogi!
9 So how will you withstand the face of the ruler of even one place, of even the least of my lord’s subordinates? But if you trust in Egypt, in four-horse chariots and in horsemen:
Ere kaka koro uparo ni unyalo loyo achiel kuom jotend jolweny matinie moloyo mag ruodha ka uketo genou mana kuom jolwenj Misri gi faresegi?
10 do I intend to go up against this land to destroy it without the Lord? But the Lord said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”
To moloyo mano iparo ni asebiro monjo pinyni mana gi pacha awuon ka ok en wach moa kuom Jehova Nyasaye? Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema osenyisa mondo abi amonj pinyni kendo akethe.’”
11 And Eliakim, and Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh: “Speak to your servants in the Syrian language. For we understand it. Do not speak to us in the Jewish language, in the hearing of the people, who are upon the wall.”
Eka Eliakim, Shebna kod Joa nowachone 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.”
12 And Rabshakeh said to them: “Has my lord sent me to your lord and to you in order to speak all these words, and not even more so to the men who are sitting on the wall, so that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
To 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?”
13 Then Rabshakeh stood up, and he cried out with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and he said: “Listen to the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
Eka jatend lweny nochungʼ moluongo matek gi dho jo-Hibrania niya, “Winjuru weche moa kuom ruoth maduongʼ ma en ruodh Asuria!
14 Thus says the king: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you. For he will not be able to rescue you.
Ma e gima ruoth wacho: Kik uyie Hezekia wuondu nikech ok onyal resou!
15 And do not let Hezekiah cause you to trust in the Lord, saying: ‘The Lord will rescue and free us. This city will not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
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.’
16 Do not listen to Hezekiah. For the king of the Assyrians says this: Act with me to your own benefit, and come out to me. And let each one eat from his own vine, and each one from his own fig tree. And let each one drink water from his own well,
“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,
17 until I arrive and take you away to a land which is like your own: a land of grain and of wine, a land of bread and of vineyards.
nyaka chop abi mi ateru e piny machal gi pinyu, ma en piny machiego cham gi divai manyien, piny mopongʼ gi makati kod mzabibu.
18 But you should not let Hezekiah disturb you, saying, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’ Have any of the gods of each of the nations delivered their land from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
“Kik uwe Hezekia wuondu kowachonu ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye biro resowa.’ Bende nyaka nene nyasach piny moro amora osereso ogandane e lwet ruodh Asuria?
19 Where is the god of Hamath and of Arpad? Where is the god of Sepharvaim? Have they freed Samaria from my hand?
Ere nyiseche mag Hamath gi Arpad? Ere nyiseche mag Sefarvaim? Bende ne gireso Samaria e lweta?
20 Who is there, among all the gods of these lands, who has rescued his land from my hand, so that the Lord would rescue Jerusalem from my hand?”
Kuom nyiseche duto mag pinjegi, en mane mosereso pinye e lweta? To koro ere kaka uparo ni Jehova Nyasaye nyalo reso Jerusalem e lweta?”
21 And they remained silent and did not answer a word to him. For the king had commanded them, saying, “You shall not respond to him.”
To ji duto nolingʼ thi maonge ngʼama dwoko nimar ruoth Hezekia nosegolo chik niya, “Kik udwoke.”
22 And Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna, the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the historian, entered to Hezekiah with their garments rent, and they reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.
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.
