Isaiah 36
1 NOW it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
In yac aksingoul akosr ke Hezekiah el tokosra lun Judah, Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el mweuni siti nukewa lun Judah ma potiyukyak, ac eisla.
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field.
Na el sap sie mwet kol fulat lal in som liki Lachish nu Jerusalem ac us sie un mwet mweun lulap, in sap Tokosra Hezekiah elan srasrapo ac tia mweun. Mwet leum se inge el som muta ke inkanek yen mwet orek nuknuk muta we, sisken laf ma use kof liki lulu se ma oan tafunyen lucng.
3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah’s son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph’s son, the recorder.
Mwet Judah tolu tufokme in sonol — elos pa Eliakim wen natul Hilkiah, su mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim ke inkul sin tokosra; ac Joah wen natul Asaph, su liyaung ma simusla.
4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Na mwet kol fulat lun mwet Assyria el fahk nu seltal lah Tokosra Fulat el ke etu lah mea Tokosra Hezekiah el kukin uh.
5 I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
El fahk ouinge, “Ku kowos nunku mu kas uh ku in sang alein ku lulap ac pisrla ke mweun? Su kowos lulalfongi mu ac kasrekowos lain acn Assyria?
6 Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.
Kowos lulalfongi mu acn Egypt ac kasrekowos, tuh fin ouinge ac oana ke kowos sikalkin loa — ac mau kaptelik ac kanteya pouwos. Pa ingan luman tokosra lun Egypt nu sin mwet su tupan kasru sel uh.”
7 But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Na mwet kol fulat sac lun mwet Assyria el tafwela ac fahk, “Ku kowos ac fahk nu sik lah kowos ac lulalfongi na LEUM GOD lowos? Nien alu sin LEUM GOD ac loang lal pa Hezekiah el tuh kunausla ke el fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem elos in alu ke loang sefanna.
8 Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
Nga ac oru sie pwapa nu suwos inen Tokosra Fulat. Nga ac sot nu suwos tausin luo ke horse kowos fin ku in konauk pisen mwet ma ac fal in kasrusr fac.
9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Finne mwet ma srik emeet wal la sin mwet leum lun Assyria, kowos tia apkuran in lainulos. Ne ouinge kowos finsrak mu mwet Egypt ac supwama chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse nu suwos.
10 And am I now come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it? the Lord said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Ya kowos nunku mu nga mweuni facl suwos ac kunausla sayen kasru sin LEUM GOD? LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk nu sik in mweuni ac kunausla.”
11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Na Eliakim, Shebna ac Joah fahk nu sin mwet kol sac, “Kaskas nu sesr ke kas Aramaic. Kut kalem na kac. Nimet kas Hebrew — mwet nukewa fin pot uh lohng na ma kom fahk an.”
12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
Ac el topuk, “Mea, komtal nunku mu komtal 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 uh, su ac fah kang fohk lalos ac nim kifwalos oana ke kowos ac mau oru uh.”
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Na mwet kol fulat sac tuyak ac wowoyak ke kas Hebrew, “Lohng ma Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el fahk nu suwos.
14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.
El sensenkakin kowos tuh kowos in tia lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekowos. Hezekiah el tia ku in molikowosla.
15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Ac nimet lela elan furokkowosla in lulalfongi ke LEUM GOD. Nimet nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac molikowos, ac sikulya un mwet mweun lun Assyria in tia sruokya siti suwos an.
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
Nimet lohngol Hezekiah! Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el sap kowos in ilme liki siti an ac srasrapo. Kowos nukewa ac filfilla in mongo grape ke ima lowos sifacna ac fig ke sak sunowos sifacna, ac in nim kof ke lufin kof lowos sifacna —
17 Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
nwe ke na Tokosra Fulat lasr el sifilpa oaki kowos in sie facl ma oapana acn suwos, acn ma oasr ima in grape in orala wain, ac wheat mwe orek bread.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The Lord will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Nimet lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekowos in nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac molikowosla. Ya god lun mutunfacl saya uh nu molelosla liki poun Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
God lun Hamath ac Arpad elos oasr oya inge? Ac pia god lun Sepharvaim? Ya oasr selos tuh molela acn Samaria?
20 Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Ya oasr pacl se sie sin god lun mutunfacl inge nu molelosla liki Tokosra Fulat lasr uh? Na mea se oru kowos in nunku mu LEUM GOD El ku in molela acn Jerusalem?”
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Mwet uh mislana tia kas, oana ke Tokosra Hezekiah el sapkin nu selos. Elos tiana topuk sie kas.
22 Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Na Eliakim, Shebna ac Joah seya nuknuk lalos ke asor, ac som fahkak nu sin tokosra ma mwet kol fulat lun Assyria el fahk ah.
