< 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.
Ní ọdún kẹta Hosea ọmọ Ela ọba Israẹli, Hesekiah ọmọ Ahasi ọba Juda bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìjọba.
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.
Ó jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó ti di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kàndínlọ́gbọ̀n. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Abijah ọmọbìnrin Sekariah.
3 And he did what is right in the eyes of the Lord, in accordance with all that David his father had done.
Ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó dára níwájú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i baba rẹ̀ Dafidi ti ṣe.
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.
Ó mú ibi gíga náà kúrò, ó sì fọ́ àwọn ère òkúta, ó sì gé àwọn ère Aṣerah lulẹ̀, ó sì fọ́ ejò idẹ tí Mose ti ṣe náà túútúú, títí di ọjọ́ tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń sun tùràrí sí. (Wọ́n sì pè é ní Nehuṣitani.)
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.
Hesekiah sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli. Kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí ó dàbí tirẹ̀ lára gbogbo àwọn ọba Juda, bóyá kí ó tó jẹ tàbí lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.
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.
Ó súnmọ́ Olúwa, kò sì dẹ́kun láti tì í lẹ́yìn: ó sì pa òfin Olúwa mọ́ tí ó ti fi fún Mose.
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.
Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; ó sì ń ṣe rere nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó dáwọ́lé. Ó ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀ sí ọba Asiria kò sì sìn ín.
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.
Láti ilé ìṣọ́ títí dé ìlú olódi, ó sì pa àwọn ará Filistini run, àti títí dé Gasa àti agbègbè rẹ̀.
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.
Ní ọdún kẹrin ọba Hesekiah, nígbà tí ó jẹ́ ọdún keje Hosea ọmọ Ela ọba Israẹli. Ṣalamaneseri ọba Asiria yàn lára Samaria ó sì tẹ̀dó tì í.
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.
Lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́ta Asiria gbé e. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kó Samaria ní ọdún kẹfà Hesekiah tí ó sì jẹ́ ọdún kẹsànán Hosea ọba Israẹli.
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;
Ọba Asiria lé Israẹli kúrò ní Asiria, wọ́n sì ṣe àtìpó wọn ní Hala, ní Gosani létí odò Habori àti ní ìlú àwọn ará Media.
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.
Èyí ṣẹlẹ̀ nítorí wọn kò pa àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn mọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ti dà májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ gbogbo èyí tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti pàṣẹ. Wọn kò fi etí wọn sílẹ̀ sí òfin wọn kò sì gbé wọn jáde.
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.
Ní ọdún kẹrìnlá tí Hesekiah jẹ ọba, Sennakeribu ọba Asiria kọlu gbogbo ìlú olódi ti Juda ó sì pa wọ́n run.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Hesekiah ọba Juda sì ránṣẹ́ yìí sí ọba Asiria ní Lakiṣi, wí pé, “Mo ti ṣẹ̀, padà lẹ́yìn mi: èmi yóò sì san ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi.” Ọba Asiria sì bu fún Hesekiah ọba Juda ọ̀ọ́dúnrún tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà àti ọgbọ̀n tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà.
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.
Hesekiah fún un ní gbogbo fàdákà tí a rí nínú ilé Olúwa àti nínú ìṣúra ilé ọba.
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.
Ní àkókò yìí Hesekiah ọba Juda ké wúrà tí ó wà ní ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa, kúrò àti ti òpó tí Hesekiah ọba Juda ti gbéró ó sì fi fún ọba Asiria.
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.
Ọba Asiria rán alákòóso gíga jùlọ, ìjòyè pàtàkì àti àwọn adarí pápá pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó pọ̀, láti Lakiṣi sí ọba Hesekiah ní Jerusalẹmu. Wọ́n wá sí òkè Jerusalẹmu wọ́n sì dúró ní etí ìdarí omi àbàtà òkè, ní ojú ọ̀nà tó lọ sí òpópó pápá alágbàfọ̀.
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.
Wọ́n sì pe ọba; àti Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah ẹni tí í ṣe ilé olùtọ́jú, Ṣebna akọ̀wé, àti Joah ọmọkùnrin Asafu tí ó jẹ́ akọ̀wé ìrántí jáde pẹ̀lú wọn.
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?
Olùdarí pápá wí fún wọn pé, “Sọ fún Hesekiah pé, “‘Èyí ni ohun tí ọba ńlá, ọba Asiria sọ: Kí ni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé yìí tí ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé?
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?
Ìwọ wí pé ìwọ ni ìmọ̀ àti agbára láti jagun, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ sọ̀rọ̀ òfìfo lásán. Ǹjẹ́ ta ni ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ lé, tí ìwọ fi ń ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi?
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.
Wò ó, nísinsin yìí, ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ lé Ejibiti, ẹ̀rún ọ̀pá pẹlẹbẹ ìyè fífọ́ yìí, èyí tí yóò wọ inú ọwọ́ ẹni tí ó sì bá fi ara tì í. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Farao ọba Ejibiti ṣe rí fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀ wọn lé 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?
Tí ìwọ bá sì sọ fún mi pé, “Àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀ wa lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run.” Òun ha kọ́ ní ẹnìkan náà tí ibi gíga àti àwọn pẹpẹ tí Hesekiah mú kúrò, tí ó wí fún Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pé, “O gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú pẹpẹ yìí ní Jerusalẹmu”?
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.
“‘Wá nísinsin yìí, ṣe àdéhùn pẹ̀lú ọ̀gá mi, ọba Asiria èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ẹṣin tí ìwọ bá lè kó àwọn tí yóò gùn ún sí orí rẹ!
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!
Báwo ni ìwọ yóò ha ti ṣe le yí ojú balógun kan tí ó kéré jùlọ padà nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa mi, tí ìwọ sì gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ lé Ejibiti fún àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹlẹ́ṣin?
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.
Síwájú sí i, èmi ti wá láti mú àti láti parun ibí yìí láìsí ọ̀rọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa? Olúwa fún rara rẹ̀ sọ fún mi pé kí n yára láti yan lórí ìlú yìí, kí n sì pa á run.’”
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.
Nígbà náà Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah, àti Ṣebna àti Joah sọ fún olùdarí pápá pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ sọ̀rọ̀ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ní èdè Aramaiki, nítorí ti ó tí yé wa, má ṣe sọ̀rọ̀ fún wa pẹ̀lú èdè Heberu ní etí ìgbọ́ àwọn ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lórí odi.”
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?
Ṣùgbọ́n aláṣẹ dáhùn pé, “Ṣé fún ọ̀gá rẹ àti ìwọ nìkan ní ọ̀gá mi rán mi sí láti sọ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí kì í sì í ṣe fún àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó jókòó lórí odi ni gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ, ni yóò ní láti jẹ ìgbẹ́ ará wọn kí wọ́n sì mu ìtọ̀ ará wọn?”
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:
Nígbà náà, aláṣẹ dìde, ó sì pè jáde ní èdè Heberu pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọba ńlá, ọba Asiria!
29 Thus hath said the king. Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand;
Èyí ni ohun tí ọba sọ, má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah tàn ọ́ jẹ kò le gbà ọ́ kúrò ní ọwọ́ mi.
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:
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah mú yín gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa nípa sísọ pé, ‘Olúwa yóò gbà wá nítòótọ́; ìlú yìí ni wọn kò ní fi lé ọba ìlú Asiria lọ́wọ́.’
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;
“Má ṣe tẹ́tí sí Hesekiah. Èyí ni ohun tí ọba Asiria wí pé, ‘Fi ẹ̀bùn wá ojúrere mi, kí o sì jáde tọ̀ mí wá.’ Nígbà náà olúkúlùkù yín yóò jẹun láti inú àjàrà rẹ̀ àti igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́, yóò sì mu omi láti inú àmù rẹ̀,
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.
títí tí èmi yóò fi wá mú ọ lọ sí ilé gẹ́gẹ́ bí i tìrẹ, ilẹ̀ ọkà àti ọtí wáìnì, ilẹ̀ oúnjẹ àti ọgbà àjàrà, ilẹ̀ òróró olifi àti ti ilẹ̀ oyin; yàn ìyè má sì ṣe yàn ikú! “Kí ẹ má ṣe gbọ́ tí Hesekiah, nítorí ó ń tàn yín tí ó ba tí wí pé, ‘Olúwa yóò gbà wá?’
33 Have the gods of the nations delivered in anywise each his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Ṣé òrìṣà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kankan ti gba ilé rẹ lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọba Asiria?
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?
Níbo ni àwọn òrìṣà Hamati àti Arpadi gbé wà? Níbo ni àwọn òrìṣà Sefarfaimi, Hena àti Iffa gbé wà? Wọ́n ha gba Samaria kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi bí?
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?
Ta ni nínú gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà ilẹ̀ yìí tí ó ti gbìyànjú láti gba ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi? Báwo ni Olúwa yóò ṣe gba Jerusalẹmu kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi?”
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà dákẹ́ síbẹ̀ wọn kò sì sọ ohunkóhun, láti fi fèsì, nítorí ọba ti paláṣẹ, “Ẹ má ṣe dá a lóhùn.”
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.
Nígbà náà Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah olùtọ́jú ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé àti Joah ọmọ Asafu akọ̀wé ránṣẹ́ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hesekiah, pẹ̀lú aṣọ wọn yíya, ó sì wí fún un ohun tí olùdarí pápá ti sọ.
