< 2 Kings 18 >
1 And it comes to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz, king of Judah, has reigned;
In yac aktolu ke pacl Hoshea wen natul Elah el tokosra lun Israel, Hezekiah wen natul Ahaz, el tokosrala lun Judah
2 he was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abi daughter of Zechariah.
ke el yac longoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac longoul eu. Nina kial pa Abijah, acn natul Zechariah.
3 And he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father David did,
Hezekiah el oru ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD, oana ouiya lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal.
4 he has turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and beaten down the bronze serpent that Moses made, for up to these days the sons of Israel were making incense to it, and he calls it “a piece of bronze.”
El kunausla acn in alu lun mwet pegan, kunausya sru eot, ac pakiya ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah. El oayapa kotkoteya serpent bronze soko su pangpang Nehushtan ma Moses el tuh orala. Mwet Israel elos srakna akosak mwe keng in akfulatye serpent soko inge nwe in pacl sac.
5 In YHWH, God of Israel, he has trusted, and after him there has not been like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] who were before him;
Hezekiah el lulalfongi LEUM GOD lun Israel. Wangin tokosra lun mwet Judah meet lukel ku tok lukel oana el.
6 and he cleaves to YHWH, he has not turned aside from after Him, and keeps His commands that YHWH commanded Moses.
El inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD, ac wangin pacl el tia aksol. El arulana karinganang ma sap nukewa su LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Moses.
7 And YHWH has been with him; in every place where he goes out he acts wisely, and he rebels against the king of Asshur, and has not served him;
Ouinge LEUM GOD El welul, ac wo ouiyal in ma nukewa el oru. El tuyak lain Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, ac tiana eisalang nu sel.
8 he has struck the Philistines, even to Gaza and its borders, from a tower of watchers to the fortified city.
El kutangla mwet Philistia ac utyak eisla ma lalos in acn srisrik nwe ke siti lulap, weang acn Gaza ac acn ma raunela.
9 And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of King Hezekiah—it [is] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel—Shalmaneser king of Asshur has come up against Samaria and lays siege to it,
In yac akakosr ke pacl Hezekiah el tokosra — su yac akitkosr ma Hoshea el leumi acn Israel — Tokosra Fulat Shalmaneser lun Assyria el utyak mweuni acn Israel ac kuhlusya Samaria.
10 and they capture it at the end of three years; in the sixth year of Hezekiah—it [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel—Samaria has been captured,
Ke yac aktolu ma kuhlusyuki acn we, Samaria ikori. Ma inge sikyak ke yac akonkosr ma Hezekiah el tokosra, ac yac akeu ma Hoshea el tokosra.
11 and the king of Asshur removes Israel to Asshur, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor [by] the river Gozan, and [in] cities of the Medes,
Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el usla mwet Israel in mwet sruoh in acn Assyria, ac oakiya kutu selos in siti Halah, ac kutu apkuran nu ke Infacl Habor in acn Gozan, ac kutu in siti lun Media.
12 because that they have not listened to the voice of their God YHWH, and transgress His covenant—all that He commanded Moses, servant of YHWH—indeed, they have not listened nor done [it].
Acn Samaria ikori, mweyen mwet Israel elos tia akos LEUM GOD lalos, a elos kunausla wulela ma El orala yorolos, ac seakos ma sap nukewa ma Moses mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD el tuh sang nu selos. Elos tiana lungse porongo, ac tiana akos.
13 And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Asshur has come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seizes them,
In yac aksingoul akosr ke Tokosra Hezekiah el leum, Tokosra Fulat Sennacherib lun Assyria el mweuni siti ma potiyukyak lun Judah ac eisla acn inge.
14 and Hezekiah king of Judah sends to the king of Asshur at Lachish, saying, “I have sinned, turn back from off me; that which you put on me I bear”; and the king of Asshur lays on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold,
Hezekiah el sapla nu sel Sennacherib su muta Lachish, ac fahk, “Tafongla ma nga oru. Nunak munas, tui ac tia mweuniyu, ac nga ac fah akfalye lupa na kom fahk nga in moli.” Ac Tokosra Fulat el topuk mu Hezekiah elan supwala longoul tausin paun in silver ac luo tausin paun in gold.
15 and Hezekiah gives all the silver that is found in the house of YHWH and in the treasures of the house of the king;
Na Hezekiah el supwala silver nukewa ma oan in Tempul ac ma oan in nien filma saok inkul sin tokosra.
16 at that time Hezekiah has cut off the doors of the temple of YHWH, and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gives them to the king of Asshur.
El oayapa takusla gold nukewa ma sang yunela srungul ke Tempul, ac gold ma el sifacna sang nawela sukan srungul, ac supwala ma inge nufon nu sel Sennacherib.
17 And the king of Asshur sends Tartan, and the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the butlers, from Lachish, to King Hezekiah, with a heavy force, to Jerusalem, and they go up and come to Jerusalem, and they go up, and come in and stand by the conduit of the upper pool that [is] in the highway of the fuller’s field.
Na Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el supwala un mwet mweun na yohk se lal liki acn Lachish nu Jerusalem in tuh mweunel Hezekiah, su kolyuk sin mwet tolu ma fulat emeet sin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal. Ke elos sun acn Jerusalem elos tui ke innek soko ma mwet owo nuknuk orekma we sisken na laf soko ma use kof ke lulu se ma oan lucng ah.
18 And they call to the king, and Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, go out to them.
Na elos sapla solal Tokosra Hezekiah ac tolu sin mwet leum lal, ac som in osun nu selos. Elos inge pa Eliakim, wen natul Hilkiah su mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim ke inkul lun tokosra; ac Joah wen natul Asaph, su liyaung ma simusla.
19 And the chief of the butlers says to them, “Now say to Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur: What [is] this confidence in which you have confided?
Sie sin mwet fulat lun acn Assyria inge fahkang nu selos lah Tokosra Fulat el ke etu lah mea Tokosra Hezekiah el kukin uh.
20 You have said: Only a word of the lips! Counsel and might [are] for battle; now, on whom have you trusted that you have rebelled against me?
El fahk ouinge, “Ku kom nunku mu kas uh ku in sang lain ku lulap ac pisrla ke mweun? Su kom lulalfongi mu ac kasrekom lain acn Assyria?
21 Now behold, you have trusted for yourself on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leans on, and it has gone into his hand and pierced it! So [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.
Kom lulalfongi mu Egypt ac kasrekom, tuh fin ouinge, ac oana ke kom sikalkin loa soko — ac kaptelik twe kanteya poum. Pa ingan luman tokosra Egypt nu sin mwet su tupan kasru sel uh.”
22 And when you say to me, We have trusted in our God YHWH, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has turned aside, and says to Judah and to Jerusalem, You bow yourselves before this altar in Jerusalem?
Ac mwet leum sac lun Assyria tafwela ac fahk, “Ku kom ac fahk nu sik lah kom ac lulalfongi na LEUM GOD lom an? Nien alu ac loang lun LEUM GOD pa Hezekiah el kunausla ke el tuh fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem elos in alu ke loang se in Jerusalem ah mukena.
23 And now, please give a pledge for yourself to my lord the king of Asshur, and I give two thousand horses to you, if you are able to give riders for yourself on them.
Nga ac oru sie pwapa nu sum ke inen Tokosra Fulat. Nga ac sot nu sum tausin luo ke horse kom fin ku in konauk pisen mwet ma ac fal in kasrusr fac!
24 And how do you turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, that you trust for yourself on Egypt for chariot and for horsemen?
Finne mwet ma srik emeet wal la sin mwet leum lun Assyria, kom tia fal in lain, sruk kom lulalfongi mu mwet Egypt ac supwama chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse nu sum!
25 Have I now come up without YHWH against this place to destroy it? YHWH said to me, Go up against this land, and you have destroyed it.”
Ya kom nunku mu nga mweuni facl sum an ac kunausla sayen kasru sin LEUM GOD? LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk nu sik mu ngan mweuni ac kunausla acn uh.”
26 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah says—and Shebna and Joah—to the chief of the butlers, “Please speak to your servants [in] Aramaic, for we are understanding, but do not speak with us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.”
Na Eliakim, Shebna, ac Joah fahk nu sin mwet leum sac, “Kaskas nu sesr ke kas Aramaic. Kut kalem kac. Nimet kas Hebrew, mweyen mwet nukewa fin pot uh elos lohng pac ma kom fahk an.”
27 And the chief of the butlers says to them, “For your lord, and to you, has my lord sent me to speak these words? Is it not for the men—those sitting on the wall—to eat their own dung and to drink their own water, with you?”
Ac el topuk, “Ku komtal nunku mu komtal na 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 an, su ac fah kang fohkoltal ac nim kifwaltal, oana komtal.”
28 And the chief of the butlers stands and calls with a great voice [in] Jewish, and speaks and says, “Hear a word of the great king, the king of Asshur—
Na mwet leum se inge tuyak ac sala ke kas Hebrew ac fahk, “Lohng ma Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el fahk nu sumtal inge.
29 thus said the king: Do not let Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you out of his hand;
El mu komtal in taran Hezekiah elan tia kiapwekomtalla. Hezekiah el tia ku in molikomtalla.
30 and do not let Hezekiah make you trust in YHWH, saying, YHWH certainly delivers us, and this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
Ac nimet lela elan kifus komtal in filiya lulalfongi lomtal in LEUM GOD, mu El ac molikomtalla ac tulokinya mwet mweun lasr uh in tia sruokya siti sumtal an.
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur: Make a blessing with me, and come out to me, and each eat of his vine, and each [eat] of his fig tree, and each drink the waters of his own well,
Nimet lohng ma Hezekiah el fahk. Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el sapkin nu sumtal in illa liki siti an ac srasrapo nu sel. Na el ac fah lela tuh kais sie sumtal in mongo ke fokin ima grape lal ac fokinsak fig sunal, ac nim kof ke luf in kof lal sifacna,
32 until my coming in, and I have taken you to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil, and honey; and live, and do not die; and do not listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, YHWH delivers us.
nwe ke Tokosra Fulat el sifilpa oakikomtal uh in sie facl su apkuran in oana facl sumtal, yen ma oasr ima in grape we in orek wain, ac oasr pac wheat in orek bread — sie facl oasr olive, ac oil in olive ac honey we. Komtal fin oru ma el sapkin inge komtal ac tia misa, a komtal ac moulna. Nimet lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekomtal mu LEUM GOD El ac molikomtalla.
33 Have each of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?
Ku oasr god lun kutena facl ma molela facl selos liki Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria?
34 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?
God lun Hamath ac Arpad eltal oasr ya inge? Ac pia god lun Sepharvaim, Hena, ac Ivvah? Ku oasr sie nu molela acn Samaria?
35 Who [are they] among all the gods of the lands that have delivered their land out of my hand, that YHWH delivers Jerusalem out of my hand?”
Pia pacl ma god lun facl nukewa inge molela facl selos liki Tokosra Fulat lasr uh? Na mea oru komtal nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac ku in molela Jerusalem uh?”
36 And the people have kept silent, and have not answered him a word, for the command of the king is, saying, “Do not answer him.”
Mwet uh mihselik, oana ma Tokosra Hezekiah el tuh fahk nu selos, ac elos tiana fahkla sie kas.
37 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, comes in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, to Hezekiah, with torn garments, and they declare to him the words of the chief of the butlers.
Na Eliakim, Shebna, ac Joah eltal asor ac seya nuknuk laltal, ac eltal folokla ac fahkang nu sin tokosra ma mwet leum se lun Assyria el fahk ac.
