< 2 Chronicles 32 >
1 After Hezekiah's faithful work, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, invaded Judah and attacked its fortified towns, planning to conquer them for himself.
Lẹ́yìn gbogbo èyí ti Hesekiah ti fi òtítọ́ ṣe, Sennakeribu ọba Asiria wá ó sì gbógun ti Juda. Ó gbógun ti àwọn ìlú ààbò, ó ń ronú láti ṣẹ́gun wọn fún ara rẹ̀.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come to attack Jerusalem,
Nígbà tí Hesekiah rí i pé Sennakeribu ti wá, àti pé ó fẹ́ láti dá ogun sílẹ̀ lórí Jerusalẹmu,
3 he talked with his army commanders about blocking up the water sources that lay outside the city. This is what they did.
Ó gbèrò pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ láti di orísun omi ní ìta ìlú ńlá, wọ́n sì ràn án lọ́wọ́.
4 They directed a large group of workers to block all the springs as well as the stream flowing nearby. “Why should the kings of Assyria come here and find plenty of water?” they asked.
Ọ̀pọ̀ ogun ọkùnrin péjọ, wọ́n sì dí gbogbo àwọn orísun àti àwọn omi tó ń sàn tí ó ń sàn gba ti ilẹ̀ náà. “Kí ni ó dé tí àwọn ọba Asiria fi wá tí wọ́n sì rí ọ̀pọ̀ omi?” Wọ́n wí.
5 Hezekiah set to work and rebuilt all the parts of the wall that had fallen down and constructed towers on it. He also built another wall outside the first wall. He reinforced the Millo in the city of David. He also made a large quantity of weapons and shields.
Nígbà náà ó ṣiṣẹ́ gidigidi ní títún gbogbo ara ògiri tí ó ti bàjẹ́ ṣe, ó sì ń kọ́ àwọn ilé ìṣọ́ gíga sókè rẹ̀. Ó kọ́ ògiri mìíràn sí ìta. Ó sì tún pẹ̀lú ibi ìtẹ́jú ilé ní ti ìlú ńlá Dafidi. Ó ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ iye ohun ìjà àti àwọn àpáta.
6 Hezekiah put army commanders in charge of the people. Then he summoned the people to gather in the square at the city gate. He spoke to them confidently, telling them,
Ó yan àwọn ìjòyè ológun sórí àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì pè wọ́n jọ, níwájú rẹ̀ ní ìbámu ní ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi. Ó sì ki wọ́n láyà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí:
7 “Be strong and be brave! Don't be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria with his large army, for there are more with us than with him.
“Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára, àti kí ẹ sì ní ìgboyà. Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù tàbí ní ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì ọkàn nítorí tí ọba Asiria àti ọ̀pọ̀ ọmọ-ogun pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, nítorí tí agbára ńlá wà pẹ̀lú wa ju òun lọ.
8 He has human help, but we have the Lord God on our side to help us and fight our battles.” The people were encouraged by this speech of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
Agbára ẹran-ara nìkan ni ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa pẹ̀lú wa láti ràn wá lọ́wọ́ àti láti ja ìjà wa.” Àwọn ènìyàn sì ní ìgboyà láti ara ohun tí Hesekiah ọba Juda wí.
9 Some time later, when Sennacherib was attacking the town of Lachish with his armies, he sent his officers to Jerusalem with this message for Hezekiah, king of Judah, and for everyone from Judah living there.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Sennakeribu ọba Asiria àti gbogbo àwọn ogun rẹ̀ ń gbógun sí Lakiṣi. Ó rán àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ sí Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú iṣẹ́ yí fún Hesekiah ọba Juda àti fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda tí ó wà níbẹ̀:
10 “This is what Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says. What are you going to trust in to help you survive when I come to attack Jerusalem?
“Èyí ni ohun tí Sennakeribu ọba Asiria wí, ‘Lórí kí ni ẹ̀yin gbé ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé yín lé, tí ẹ̀yin fi dúró sí Jerusalẹmu lábẹ́ ìgbógun sí?’
11 Can't you see that in reality Hezekiah is telling you to die from starvation and thirst when he tells you, ‘The Lord our God will save us from the king of Assyria’?
Nígbà tí Hesekiah wí pé, ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọba Asiria,’ ó ń ṣì yín tọ́ ṣọ́nà, kí ẹ bá lè kú fún ebi àti òǹgbẹ.
12 Wasn't it Hezekiah who destroyed the high places and altars of this god and told Judah and Jerusalem, ‘You must worship at this one altar, and offer sacrifices on it alone’?
Ṣé Hesekiah fúnra rẹ̀ kò mú àwọn ọlọ́run ibi gíga àti àwọn pẹpẹ kúrò, tí ó ń wí fún Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú pẹpẹ kan àti láti sun àwọn ẹbọ lórí rẹ̀’?
13 Don't you know what I and my fathers have done to all the nations of the earth? None of their gods could save them or their lands from me!
“Ṣé ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ ohun tí èmi àti àwọn baba mi ti ṣe sí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ mìíràn? Ǹjẹ́ àwọn Ọlọ́run tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn ní agbára láti gba ilẹ̀ wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi?
14 Which one of all these gods of these nations that my fathers destroyed has been able to save them from me? So why would you think your god can save you from me?
Ta ni nínú gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí tí àwọn baba mi ti parun, tí ó le gbà ènìyàn rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ mi, tí Ọlọ́run yín yóò fi le gbà yín lọ́wọ́ mi?
15 So don't let Hezekiah fool you, and don't let him mislead you like this. Don't trust him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to save their people from me or from my fathers. So it's even less possible for your god to save you from me!”
Nísinsin yìí, ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah ó tàn yín àti ṣì yín tọ́ ṣọ́nà báyìí. Ẹ má ṣe gbà á gbọ́, nítorí tí kò sí ọlọ́run orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn tàbí ìjọba tí ó ní agbára láti gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi tàbí lọ́wọ́ àwọn baba mi, mélòó mélòó wa ni Ọlọ́run yín tí yóò gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi!”
16 Sennacherib's officers continued criticizing the Lord God and his servant Hezekiah.
Àwọn ìjòyè Sennakeribu sọ̀rọ̀ síwájú sí i ní ìlòdì sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àti sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Hesekiah.
17 Sennacherib also wrote letters insulting the Lord, the God of Israel, taunting him by saying, “In the same way the gods of the nations did not save their people from me, so the god of Hezekiah will not save his people from me either.”
Ọba pẹ̀lú sì kọ àwọn ìwé ní bíbú Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli àti ní sísọ èyí ní ìlòdì sí: “Ní gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ mìíràn kò ṣe gba àwọn ènìyàn wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ọlọ́run Hesekiah kì yóò gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi.”
18 The Assyrians also shouted this out in Hebrew to the people of Jerusalem standing on the wall to frighten and to terrify them so that the city would be surrendered.
Lẹ́yìn náà wọ́n pè jáde ní èdè Heberu sí àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà lára ògiri, láti dá ọjọ́ fún wọn, ki wọn kí ó lè fi agbára mú ìlú náà.
19 They talked about the God of Jerusalem like they did about the gods of the other nations, gods made by human beings.
Wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀ nípa Ọlọ́run Jerusalẹmu bí wọ́n ti ṣe nípa àwọn ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn mìíràn ti àgbáyé, iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.
20 King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, appealed about this in prayer to the God of heaven.
Ọba Hesekiah àti wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi sọkún jáde nínú àdúrà sí ọ̀run nípa èyí.
21 The Lord sent an angel who wiped out every warrior, leader, and commander in the camp of the Assyrian king. So he returned home in disgrace. When he went into the temple of his god, some of his own sons killed him with their swords.
Olúwa sì ran angẹli tí ó pa gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun àti àwọn adarí àti àwọn ìjòyè tí ó wà nínú àgọ́ ọba Asiria run. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó padà sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìtìjú. Nígbà tí ó sì lọ sínú ilé ọlọ́run rẹ̀, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gé e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà.
22 The Lord saved Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from King Sennacherib of Assyria and all other enemies, giving them peace in every direction.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa yọ Hesekiah àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu kúrò lọ́wọ́ Sennakeribu ọba Asiria àti lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn mìíràn. Ó tọ́jú wọn ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.
23 From then on he was very well respected by all the nations, and many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the Lord and valuable gifts for Hezekiah, king of Judah.
Ọ̀pọ̀ mú ọrẹ wá sí Jerusalẹmu fún Olúwa àti àwọn ẹ̀bùn iyebíye fún Hesekiah ọba Juda. Ó sì gbéga lójú gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè lẹ́yìn náà.
24 Around that time Hezekiah fell sick and was about to die. So he prayed to the Lord, who replied by healing him and giving him a miraculous sign.
Ní ọjọ́ wọ́n nì Hesekiah ṣe àárẹ̀, ó sì dójú ikú. Ó gbàdúrà sí Olúwa tí ó dá a lóhùn, tí ó sì fún un ní àmì àgbàyanu.
25 But because he had become proud, Hezekiah did not acknowledge the gift he'd been given. So the Lord's anger fell on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn Hesekiah ṣe ìgbéraga, kò sì kọbi ara sí i inú rere tí a fihàn án. Nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa wà lórí rẹ̀ àti lórí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.
26 Then Hezekiah apologized for his arrogance, as did the people of Jerusalem, and the Lord's anger no longer fell on them during Hezekiah's lifetime.
Nígbà náà ni Hesekiah ronúpìwàdà ní ti ìgbéraga ọkàn rẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa kò wá sí orí wọn ní ìgbà àwọn ọjọ́ Hesekiah.
27 Hezekiah was very rich and highly honored, and he built treasury storerooms to hold silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields, and all kinds of valuable things.
Hesekiah ní ọ̀pọ̀ ọrọ̀ ńlá àti ọlá, ó sì ṣe àwọn ilé ìṣúra fún fàdákà àti wúrà rẹ̀ àti fún àwọn òkúta iyebíye rẹ̀, àwọn tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn àwọn àpáta àti gbogbo oríṣìí nǹkan iyebíye.
28 He constructed buildings to store supplies of grain, new wine, and olive oil, and stalls for all kinds of animals, including cattle and sheep.
Ó kọ́ àwọn ilé pẹ̀lú láti tọ́jú àwọn ọkà àwọn tí wọ́n ka, ọtí tuntun àti òróró; ó sì ṣe àwọn àtíbàbà fún oríṣìí àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn àti àwọn àṣémọ́ fun àwọn ọ̀wọ̀ ẹran.
29 He built many towns, and he owned large herds of cattle and flocks of sheep, for God had made him very wealthy.
Ó kọ́ àwọn ìletò, ó sì gba ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àti agbo ẹran, nítorí tí Ọlọ́run ti fún un ní ọ̀pọ̀ ọrọ̀ ńlá.
30 Hezekiah blocked off the outlet of the upper Gihon spring and made the water flow down to the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah was successful in everything he did.
Hesekiah ni ó dí ojú ìṣúra apá òkè ti orísun Gihoni. Ó sì gbe gba ìsàlẹ̀ sí ìhà ìwọ oòrùn ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi. Ó ṣe àṣeyọrí rere nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó dáwọ́lé.
31 But when ambassadors of the rulers of Babylon came to him to ask about the miraculous sign that had happened in the country, God left him to himself test him, so he could know Hezekiah's true thinking.
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ ọba wá láti Babeli láti bi í lérè nípa àmì ìyanu tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ nì, Ọlọ́run fi sílẹ̀ láti dán an wò àti láti mọ gbogbo nǹkan tí ó wà lọ́kàn rẹ̀.
32 The rest of what Hezekiah did, including his acts of loyalty, are recorded in the vision of the prophet Isaiah, son of Amoz, in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
Gbogbo iṣẹ́ yòókù ti ìjọba Hesekiah àti àwọn ìṣe rẹ̀, ìfarajì rẹ̀ ni a kọ sínú ìwé ìran wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi nínú ìwé àwọn ọba Juda àti Israẹli
33 Hezekiah died and was buried in the upper cemetery of David's descendants. All Judah and the people of Jerusalem honored him at his death. His son Manasseh took over as king.
Hesekiah sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀. A sì sin ín sórí òkè níbi tí àwọn ibojì àwọn àtẹ̀lé Dafidi wà. Gbogbo Juda àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu ni ó bu ọlá fún un nígbà tí ó kú. Manase ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
