2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and camped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.
Mgbe Hezekaya ji ikwesi ntụkwasị obi rụchaa ọrụ ndị a niile, Senakerib bụ eze Asịrịa, bịara nʼime Juda megide ya. Ọ nọchibidoro obodo niile nke e wusiri ike, na-eche na ọ ga-emeri ha nye onwe ya.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he intended to fight against Jerusalem,
Mgbe o doro eze anya na Senakerib bịara ka o buo agha megide Jerusalem,
3 he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city; and they helped him.
Hezekaya mere ngwangwa kpọkọta ụmụ eze niile na ndịisi agha ya. Mgbe ha zukọtara, ha kpebiri iwuchi isi iyi ahụ niile na-esi nʼazụ obodo na-asọpụta. Ha mekwara otu a.
4 So many people gathered together, and they stopped all the springs, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?"
Ha kpọkọtara ọtụtụ ndị ọrụ, ndị gara gbochie isi iyi niile, mee ka mmiri gharakwa ịsọpụta nʼala ahụ niile. Ha mere nke a nʼihi na ha achọghị ka eze ndị Asịrịa na ndị agha ya nweta mmiri ha ga-aṅụ mgbe ha bịaruru ibuso Jerusalem agha.
5 He took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised towers upon it, and the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
Hezekaya wuzikwara mgbidi obodo ahụ, wusie ha ike nʼebe niile ọ na-ada ada. O wukwara mgbidi ọzọ gburugburu mgbidi nke ochie ahụ. O wusikwara ebe siri ike nke Milo dị nʼobodo Devid ike, kpụọkwa ọtụtụ ngwa agha na ọta.
6 He set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke comfortably to them, saying,
O tinyere ndị agha niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ nʼokpuru ndịisi agha na-achị ha, mee ka ha niile zukọta nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke obodo. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ gwa ha okwu sị ha,
7 "Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater with us than with him.
“Dịrịnụ ike, unu adakwala mba. Unu atụla ụjọ maọbụ daa mba nʼihi eze Asịrịa na usuu ndị agha ya, nʼihi na onye dịnyeere anyị ka ya ike.
8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is YHWH our God to help us, and to fight our battles." The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
Ihe nọnyere ya bụ ogwe aka nke anụ ahụ, ma nke nọnyere anyị bụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, inyere anyị aka na ibu agha anyị niile.” Okwu a, nke Hezekaya bụ eze Juda kwuru, mere ka ndị Juda nwee agbamume.
9 After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
Mgbe e mesiri, mgbe Senakerib eze Asịrịa na ndị agha ya niile nọchibidoro Lakish, o zipụrụ ndị ọrụ ya gaa Jerusalem, ka ha jiri ozi a gaa maka Hezekaya, bụ eze Juda na ndị Juda niile ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ:
10 Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, "In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
“Nke a bụ ihe Senakerib, bụ eze Asịrịa sịrị: Ọ bụ na gịnị ka ntụkwasị obi gị dabere, mere i ji nọgidesie ike na Jerusalem nʼọnọdụ nnọchibido a?
11 Doesn't Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, 'YHWH our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?'
Mgbe Hezekaya na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị ga-azọpụta anyị site nʼaka eze Asịrịa,’ ọ bụ aghụghọ ka ọ na-aghọ unu. Ọ na-eduhie unu, na-achọ ka unu nwụọ nʼagụụ nakwa akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ.
12 Hasn't the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense?'
Ọ bụghị Hezekaya na onwe ya wezugara ebe ya niile dị elu na ebe ịchụ aja ya niile, na-asị Juda na Jerusalem, ‘Unu aghaghị ịkpọ isiala nʼotu ebe ịchụ aja, chụọkwa aja nʼelu ya’?
13 Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand?
“Unu amaghị ihe mụ na nna m ha bụ ndị bu m ụzọ chịa mere ndị ala ọzọ? Chi niile nke mba ndị ahụ niile ha nwere ike zọpụta ala ha site nʼaka m?
14 Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
Ọ bụ onye nʼetiti chi niile nke mba ndị a niile, bụ ndị nna nna m ha bibiri, napụtarala ndị ya site nʼaka m? Aṅaa ka chi unu ga-esi zọpụta unu site nʼaka m?
15 Now therefore do not let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this way, neither believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?"
Unu ekwela ka Hezekaya duhie unu, rafuokwa unu otu a. Unu ekwenyekwarala ya, nʼihi na ọ dịghị chi ọbụla maọbụ nke mba ọbụla maọbụ alaeze ọbụla pụrụ ịnapụta ndị ya site nʼaka m maọbụ nʼaka nna m ha. Ka ọ bụrụzie chi unu ga-abụ nke ga-anapụta unu site nʼaka m!”
16 His servants spoke yet more against YHWH God, and against his servant Hezekiah.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka ndị ozi Senakerib ahụ ji leda Onyenwe anyị Chineke, na Hezekaya anya kwuokwa okwu mkparị megide ha.
17 He also wrote letters insulting YHWH, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand."
Emesịa, Senakerib dekwara akwụkwọ mkparị ndị ọzọ, nke ọ nọ nʼime ya kwuluo Onyenwe anyị Chineke Izrel, na-asị, “Dịka chi ndị ala ọzọ niile enweghị ike zọpụta ndị ha site nʼaka m, otu a kwa, Chineke nke Hezekaya apụghịkwa ịzọpụta ndị ya site nʼaka m.”
18 They cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
Mgbe ahụ, ha ji oke olu kpọkuo ndị Jerusalem, bụ ndị nọ na mgbidi ahụ nʼasụsụ Hibru, imenye ha egwu nakwa ime ka ụjọ tụọ ha, ka ha nwee ike were obodo ahụ.
19 They spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.
Ha kwuru okwu ọjọọ dị iche iche banyere Chineke nke Jerusalem, dịka ha si kwuo megide chi niile nke ndị ọzọ dị nʼụwa, bụ ọrụ aka mmadụ.
20 Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
Mgbe ahụ, Hezekaya bụ eze, na Aịzaya onye amụma, nwa Emọz, kpọkuru Chineke nke eluigwe nʼekpere.
21 YHWH sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, some of his own offspring killed him there with the sword.
Onyenwe anyị zipụrụ otu mmụọ ozi, onye gara tigbuo ndị agha niile bụ dike, ndị ọchịagha na ndịisi niile nọ nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu nke eze Asịrịa. Ya mere, Senakerib ji oke ihere laghachi nʼala ya. Ma mgbe ọ gara nʼụlọ chi ya, ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ ya ndị ikom, ndị bụ anụ ahụ na ọbara ya, were mma agha gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ.
22 Thus YHWH saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave them rest on every side.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị si zọpụta Hezekaya na ndị Jerusalem, site nʼaka Senakerib eze Asịrịa, na sitekwa nʼaka ndị iro ya ndị ọzọ. Udo dịkwara nʼala ya niile.
23 Many brought gifts to YHWH to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
Site nʼoge ahụ, Hezekaya ghọrọ eze a maara aha ya na mba niile dị Juda gburugburu. Ọtụtụ mmadụ bidokwara ibutere Onyenwe anyị onyinye dị iche iche na Jerusalem. Hezekaya nʼonwe ya nwetakwara onyinye nke ya.
24 In those days Hezekiah was sick even to death: and he prayed to YHWH; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.
Ma nʼoge ahụ, Hezekaya rịara ọrịa, ruo na ọ gaara anwụ. Ma o kpere ekpere rịọ Onyenwe anyị ka ọ gwọọ ya. Ọ zara ekpere ya, gosikwa ya ihe ịrịbama dị ebube.
25 But Hezekiah did not render again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
Ma Hezekaya ejighị obi ya niile kelee Chineke ekele nʼihi na nganga batara ya nʼobi. Nke a mere ka iwe wee Onyenwe anyị megide ya na ndị Jerusalem na Juda.
26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of YHWH did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
Mgbe Hezekaya na ndị Jerusalem wedara onwe ha nʼala, iwe Onyenwe anyị dajụrụ nʼebe ha nọ, ọ takwaghị ha ahụhụ nʼoge niile ahụ Hezekaya dị ndụ.
27 Hezekiah had a very great amount of riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all kinds of goodly vessels;
Ya mere, Hezekaya ghọrọ eze bara ọgaranya, bụrụkwa onye a na-asọpụrụ. O wuru ụlọakụ maka ichebe ọlaọcha ya na ọlaedo, na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa, na ụda na-esi isi ụtọ, na ọta na efere ọlaedo ya.
28 storehouses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
O wukwara ọtụtụ ụlọ ọzọ ebe a na-echebe ọka, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ, na mmanụ oliv. O wukwara ụlọ anụmanụ maka ọtụtụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ya.
29 Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance.
O wukwara ọtụtụ obodo nta dị iche iche, nweekwa ọtụtụ igwe anụ ụlọ, na igwe ehi, nʼihi na Chineke mere ka ọ baa ụba.
30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
Hezekaya bụkwa onye gbochiri mmiri iyi Gaihọn nʼakụkụ elu elu ya, gwuo olulu ebe mmiri ahụ si sọgharịa na-asọbata nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke obodo Devid. Ihe niile o mere gaara ya nke ọma.
31 However concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
Ma mgbe ndị ozi nke ndị na-achị Babilọn zitere ka ha jụọ ya banyere ihe ebube ahụ nke mere nʼala ahụ, Chineke hapụrụ ya i nwalee ya, ka ọ mara ihe niile dị ya nʼobi.
32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, look, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Hezekaya, na ọrụ ebere niile nke ọ rụrụ ka edere nʼakwụkwọ ọhụ onye amụma bụ Aịzaya, nwa Emọz, dịkwa nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda na Izrel niile.
33 Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
Hezekaya sooro ndị nna nna ya dinaa nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼugwu nʼebe ili ndị nna nna Devid dị. Ndị Juda niile na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem kwanyere ya ugwu nʼọnwụ ya. Manase nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
