< 2 Kings 18 >

1 And it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea' the son of Elah the king of Israel, that Hezekiah, the son of Achaz the king of Judah, became king.
Ie tan-taom-paha-telo’ i Hosea, ana’ i Elà mpanjaka’ Israele, le niorotse nifehe t’i Kezkià, ana’ i Ahkaze, mpanjaka’ Iehodà.
2 Twenty and five years old was he when he became king, and twenty and nine years did he reign in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
Roapolo toañe lime amby re te niorotse nifehe; le nifeleke roapolo taoñe sive’ amby e Ierosalaime. I Abý, ana’ i Zakarià ty tahinan-drene’e.
3 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that David his father had done.
Nanao ty havantañañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, manahake ze hene satan-drae’e Davide.
4 He it was that removed the high-places, and broke the statues, and cut down the groves, and stamped in pieces the copper serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days were the children of Israel burning incense to it; and he called it Nechushtan.
Nafaha’e o toets’ aboo naho dinemo’e o hazomangao, naho finira’e o Aserào, vaho finorefore’e i mereñe torisike niranjie’ i Mosèy; amy te nañembok’ ama’e o ana’ Israeleo ampara’ i andro zay, le nitokaveñe ty hoe Nekostane.
5 In the Lord the God of Israel did he trust; and after him there was not his like among all the kings of Judah, nor among those that were before him.
Niatoa’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele; kanao tsy amo hene’ mpan­jaka’ Ieho­dao naho amo taolo’eo ty nanahak’ aze.
6 And he adhered to the Lord, and turned not away from following him; but he kept his commandments, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
Nitam­bozore’e t’Iehovà, le tsy nenga’e ty fañorihañe aze, fa nambena’e o lili’e linili’ Iehovà i Mosèo.
7 And the Lord was with him; whithersoever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
Nindre ama’e t’Iehovà, le nirao­rao re ndra aia’ aia ty nomba’e; niolà’e ty mpanjaka’ i Asore le tsy nitoroñe’e.
8 He it was that smote the Philistines, as far as Gazzah, and its territory, from the tower of the watchmen up to the fortified city.
Zinevo’e o nte-Pelistio pak’ Azà naho o mañohok’ azeo; boak’ am-pita­lakesañ’ abo pak’ an-drova mikijoly.
9 And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea' the son of Elah the king of Israel, that Shalmanesser the king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
Ie amy taom-paha-efa’ i Kezkià mpanjakay, naho ty taom-paha’ fito i Hosea, ana’ i Elà mpanjaka’ Israele te nionjomb’e Somerone t’i Salmanesere mpanjaka’ i Asore, nañarikatok’ aze.
10 And they captured it at the end of three years, —in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is the ninth year of Hoshea' the king of Israel, was Samaria captured.
Nahamodo telo taoñe iereo vaho naharambe aze; amy taom-paha’ ene’ i Kezkia naho ty taom-paha sive’ i Hosea mpanjaka’ Israele, ty nitavaneñe i Somerone.
11 And the king of Assyria led away Israel as exiles unto Assyria, and transported them to Chalach and to Chabor, by the river of Gozan, and to the cities of Media;
Nase­se’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore mb’e Asore mb’eo t’Israele, vaho napò’e e Kalà añe naho añ’ olo’ i Kabore, saka’ i Gozane, vaho amo rova nte Medaio;
12 Because they had not obeyed the voice of the Lord their God, but had transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded; and had not obeyed, nor done accordingly.
amy t’ie tsy nañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, te mone nivalik’ amy fañina’ey naho ze he’e nandilia’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà; tsy jinanji’ iareo tsy nanoe’ iereo.
13 And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib the king of Assyria come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seized on them.
Amy taom-paha folo-efats’ambi’ i Kezkiày, le nionjomb’ amo rova-fatrats’ Iehodao t’i Sankeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore vaho rinambe’e.
14 And Hezekiah the king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have sinned; retire from me: what thou wilt impose on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah the king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Le nampihitrik’ amy mpanjaka’ i Asore e Lakisey t’i Kezkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda nanao ty hoe: Nandilatse iraho, miengà ahy, le ho vaveko ze hapò’o amako. Le sinaze’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey volafoty telon-jato talenta naho volamena telopolo talenta t’i Kezkià mpanjaka’ Iehodà.
15 And Hezekiah gave up all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house.
Fonga natolo’ i Kezkià aze ze volafoty nizoeñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà naho am-pañajàm-bara añ’anjombam-panjaka ao.
16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of the Lord, and from the door-sills which Hezekiah the king of Judah had overlaid, and gave the same to the king of Assyria.
Tinampa’ i Kezkia amy zao ty volamena an-dalambein’ anjomba’ Iehovà naho boak’ amo tokonañe nipakore’ i Kezkia mpanjakao; vaho natolo’e amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey.
17 And the king of Assyria sent Tharthan and Rub-sariss and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a strong army against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem; and when they were come up, they came and halted by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the washer's field.
Nirahe’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey boak’e Lakise mb’amy Kezkia mpanjaka e Ierosalaime mb’eo t’i Tartane naho i Rabsarise, vaho i Rabsakè, reketse lahin-defo tsifotofoto. Nionjomb’ eo iereo naho nivotrake e Ierosalaime, ie pok’eo le nimb’an-talahan’ antara ambone an-dala’ i tondam-panasay mb’eo vaho nijohañe ey.
18 And they called for the king, when there came out to them Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph the recorder.
Ie kinanji’ iareo i mpanjakay le niakatse mb’ am’ iereo mb’eo t’i Eliakime ana’ i Kilkià, mpifehe o añ’ anjombao naho i Sebnà mpanokitse vaho Ioà ana’ i Asafe mpamolily.
19 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus hath said the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherewith thou hast trusted?
Le hoe t’i Rabsakè am’ iereo: Ano ty hoe t’i Kezkià: Hoe i mpanjaka ra’elahy mpifehe’ i Asorey: Ino ze o fiatoañe iatoa’o zao?
20 Thou saidst, but it was only a word uttered with the lips, [I have] counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom didst thou trust, that thou rebelledst against me?
Atao’o te fanoroañe naho haozarañe ente-mialy hao ty fivolan-tsoñy? Ia arè ty iatoa’o, te ihe niola amako?
21 Now, behold, thou trustedst thee upon yon cracked reed-staff, upon Egypt, which, if a man lean on it, will enter into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh the king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.
Inao hey, te niatoa’o i fitoñom-bararata dinemokey, i Mitsraime; ie iatoa’ ondaty le ho voa ty taña’e, toe hitomboha’e; izay t’i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime amy ze hene miato ama’e.
22 But if ye should say unto me, In the Lord our God have we trusted: is he not the one whose high-places and whose altars Hezekiah hath removed, when he said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar shall ye prostrate yourselves in Jerusalem?
Fe naho anoa’areo ty hoe: Iatoa’ay t’Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ay; Tsy Ie hao ty nañafaha’ i Kezkia o toets-abo’eo naho o kitreli’eo, vaho nanao ty hoe am’ Iehodà naho am’ Ierosalaime: Mitalahoa añatrefa’ ty kitrely e Ierosalaime toy?
23 And now, I pray thee, enter into a contest with 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.
Aa ehe, ano parè amy talèko mpanjaka’ i Asorey; fa hatoloko azo ty soavala ro’ arivo naho mahatongoa mpiningitse ama’e irehe.
24 How then wilt thou turn back the face of a single chieftain among the least of my master's servants, while thou hast put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!
Aa vaho akore ty hampi­toliha’o ty laharam-pifehe’ i fara­gidrom-pitoron-talèkoy? vaho iatoa’o t’i Mitsraime hahazoa’o sarete naho mpiningitse!
25 Now am I come up without the Lord ['s will] against this place to destroy it? The Lord hath said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Atao’o te tsy amako hao t’Iehovà, izaho nionjom-b’an-toetse toy handrotsake aze? Nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà: Tameo i taney vaho rotsaho.
26 Then said Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu, and Shebnah, and Yoach, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jewish language before the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Aa le hoe t’i Eliakime ana’ i Kilkià naho i Sebnà vaho Ioà amy Rab’ sakè: Ehe, misaontsia amo mpitoro’oo an-tsaon­tsi’ i Arame fa fohi’ay, le ko misaon­tsy an-tsaontsi’ o nte-Iehodao an-dravembia’ ondaty ambone’ o kijolio eio.
27 But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master then sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? is it not rather to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own excrement, and drink their own urine with you?
Fe hoe ty nanoa’ Rab’sakè, Nañirak’ ahy homb’ amy talè’oy naho ama’ areo hivolañako o entañe zao, fa tsy amo mitobok’ amo kijolioo ka? hahafitraofa’ iareo filintseñe ty fiamonto’e naho finoñe ty arirano’e?
28 Then stood Rabshakeh up and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, and said, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:
Niongak’ amy zao t’i Rab’sakè, nipazake ty hoe an-tsaontsi’ Iehoda: Janjiño ty enta’ i mpanjaka ra’elahy, mpifehe’ i Asorey.
29 Thus hath said the king. Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand;
Hoe i mpanjakay: Ko enga’ areo hamañahy anahareo t’i Kezkia. Fa tsy ho lefe’e ty hamo­tsotse anahareo am-pità’e.
30 Neither let Hezekiah induce you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city will not be given up into the hand of the king of Assyria:
Le ko enga’ areo t’i Kezkia hampiato anahareo am’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Toe handrombak’ antika t’Iehovà, vaho tsy hatolotse am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Asore ty rova toy.
31 Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus hath said the king of Assyria, Make a treaty of peace with me, and come out to me, and eat ye every man of his own vine, and every man of his fig-tree, and drink ye every man the waters of his cistern;
Ko janjiñeñe t’i Kezkia; fa hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Asore: Mifampilongoa amako, le miavota mb’amako; le songa hikama amy vahe’ey, naho amy sakoa’ey vaho sindre hitohoke an-dranon-kadaha’e;
32 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, a land of oil-olive trees, and of honey, that ye may live, and not die; and hearken not unto Hezekiah; for he will mislead you, saying, The Lord will deliver us.
ampara’ te homb’eo iraho hanese anahareo mb’an-tane manahake ty anahareo, tanen-tsako naho divay, tane ama’ mofo naho tanem-bahe, tanen-katae olive naho tantele, soa t’ie ho veloñe fa tsy hihomake; le ko haoñe’ areo t’i Kezkià, ie sigihe’e ami’ty hoe: Ho hahà’ Iehovà tika.
33 Have the gods of the nations delivered in anywise each his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Aa vaho eo hao ty ‘ndraharen-kilakila’ ndatio nahavotsotse ty tane’e am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Asore?
34 Where are the gods of Chamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvayim, Hena', and 'Ivvah? have they then delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Aia o ‘ndrahare’ i Kamate naho i Arpadeo? aia o ‘ndrahare’ i Sefa­rvaime naho i Henà vaho Ivào? Nahahaha’ iereo an-tañako hao ty Somerone?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Ia amo fonga ‘ndra­hare’ o fifelehañeo ty nahavotso­tse i borizà’ey an-tañako? te haha­fañaha’ Iehovà an-tañako t’Iero­salaime?
36 But the people remained silent, and answered him not a word; for it was the king's command, saying, Ye shall not answer him.
Fe nianjiñe avao ondatio, leo volañe raike tsy natoi’ iareo ami’ty nandilia’ i mpanjakay ty hoe: Ko manoiñe aze.
37 Then came Elyakim the son of Chilkiyah, who was superintendent over the house, and Shebnah the scribe, and Yoach the son of Assaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent; and they told unto him the words of Rabshakeh.
Nimb’ amy Kezkià mb’eo an-tsiky riniatse t’i Eliakime, ana’ i Kilkià, mpifehe’ i anjombay naho i Sebna mpanoki­tsey vaho Ioà mpamoliliy nitalily i enta’ i Rab’sakèy.
