2 Kings 18
1 Now it happened in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
Bara Hoosheeʼaa ilma Eelaa mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa sadaffaatti Hisqiyaas ilmi Aahaaz mooticha Yihuudaa mootii taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
Inni Yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa digdamii sagal bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Abiiyaa ture; isheenis intala Zakkaariyaas.
3 He did that which was right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that David his father had done.
Innis akkuma Daawit abbaan isaa godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa hojjete.
4 He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
Inni iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa diige; dhagaawwan waaqeffannaa caccabsee siidaawwan Aasheeraa illee burkuteesse. Sababii Israaʼeloonni hamma bara sanaatti ixaana aarsaafii turaniif inni fakkii bofaa kan Museen naasii irraa hojjete sana illee ni caccabse. Fakkiin bofaa sun Nehushtaan jedhamee waamama ture.
5 He trusted in YHWH, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
Hisqiyaas Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel amanate. Mootota Yihuudaa hunda keessaa namni akka isaa tokko iyyuu isa duraan yookaan isa duubaan hin turre.
6 For he joined with YHWH; he did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which YHWH commanded Moses.
Inni jabaatee Waaqayyotti hiiqe malee isa duukaa buʼuu hin dhiisne; seera Waaqayyo Museef kenne sanas ni eege.
7 YHWH was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.
Waaqayyos isa wajjin ture; inni waan hojjete hunda keessatti ni milkaaʼe. Inni mootii Asooritti fincile malee isa hin tajaajille.
8 He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
Inni gamoo eegumsaatii jalqabee hamma magaalaa dallaa jabaa qabuutti, hamma Gaazaattii fi daangaa isheetti Filisxeemota ni moʼate.
9 It happened in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
Waggaa afuraffaa bara Hisqiyaas mootichaa keessa jechuunis waggaa torbaffaa bara Hoosheeʼaa ilma Eelaa mooticha Israaʼel keessa Shalmaneseer mootichi Asoor Samaariyaatti duulee marsee ishee qabate.
10 At the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
Dhuma waggaa sadaffaatti Asooronni ishee fudhatan. Akkasiinis Samaariyaan waggaa jaʼaffaa bara mootummaa Hisqiyaas keessa, waggaa saglaffaa bara Hoosheeʼaa mooticha Israaʼel keessa ni fudhatamte.
11 The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
Mootiin Asooris Israaʼeloota boojiʼee Asooritti geessee Halaa keessa, Goozaan keessa, Laga Haaboor biraa fi magaalaawwan Midiyaan keessa ni qubachiise.
12 because they did not obey the voice of YHWH their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of YHWH commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
Wanni kun sababii isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitiif ajajamuu didanii kakuu isaa, ajaja Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo isaaniif kenne hunda cabsaniif isaanitti dhufe. Isaan ajaja sana hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hojii irra hin oolchine.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
Bara mootummaa Hisqiyaas mootichaa keessa waggaa kudha afuraffaatti, Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban hunda lolee ni qabate.
14 Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, "I have offended; return from me. That which you put on me, I will bear." The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Kanaafuu Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa, “Ani balleessaa hojjedheera. Biyya koo keessaa naa baʼi; ani waan ati na gaafattu kam iyyuu siifin kennaa” jedhee gara Laakkiishitti mooticha Asooritti ergaa ergate. Mootichi Asooris, “Meetii taalaantii dhibba sadii fi warqee taalaantii soddoma naa kenni” jedhee Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaa ni gaafate.
15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the king's house.
Kanaafuu Hisqiyaas meetii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessattii fi kan mankuusaa masaraa mootummaa keessatti argamu hunda guuree kenneef.
16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of YHWH's temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
Yeroo kanatti Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa warqee balbalaa fi dhaaba balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti uffisee ture irraa baasee mootii Asooriif kenne.
17 The king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the Launderers' Field.
Ergasii Mootichi Asoor ajajaa waraanaa isaa ol aanaa, ajajaa hangafaa fi ajajaa waraana isaa loltoota hedduu wajjin Laakkiishii gara Yerusaalemitti Hisqiyaas mootichatti ni erge. Isaanis Yerusaalem dhufanii boʼoo haroo ol aanuu bira karaa lafa qotiisaa namicha wayyaa miicuutti geessu irra dhadhaabatan.
18 When they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
Isaan mooticha ni waamsifatan; Eliiyaaqiim ilmi Hilqiyaa bulchaan masaraa mootummaa, Shebnaa barreessaanii fi Yooʼaa ilmi Asaaf galmeessaan isaanitti gad baʼan.
19 Rabshakeh said to them, "Say now to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, "What confidence is this in which you trust?
Ajajaan waraanaa sunis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Akkana jedhaa Hisqiyaasitti himaa: “‘Mootiin guddaan, mootichi Asoor akkana jedha: Of amanachuu kee kana maal irratti hundeeffatte?
20 Do you think that empty words are strategy and power for war? Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
Ati, “Ani tooftaa fi jabina waraanaa qaba” jetta; garuu dubbii faayidaa hin qabne dubbatta. Ati eenyun abdattee natti fincilta?
21 Now, look, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
Kunoo ati Gibxin jechuunis ulee shambaqqoo caccabaa harka nama isatti irkatu kamii iyyuu waraanee madeessu sana abdatteerta! Faraʼoon mootichi Gibxis nama isa abdatu hundaaf akkasuma.
22 But if you tell me, 'We trust in YHWH our God;' isn't that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, 'You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?'
Yoo isin, “Nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya abdanna” naan jettan, inni isuma Hisqiyaas iddoowwan sagadaa isaatii fi iddoowwan aarsaa isaa diigee Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemiin, “Isin fuula iddoo aarsaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa kana duratti waaqeffachuu qabdu” jedhe sana mitii?
23 Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
“‘Amma kottuutii gooftaa koo mooticha Asoor wajjin dubbadhu; anis yoo ati namoota farda yaabbatan qopheeffachuu dandeesse fardeen kuma lama siifin kenna!
24 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Ati yoo gaariiwwanii fi abbootii fardaatiif jettee Gibxin abdatte iyyuu akkamiin qondaaltota gooftaa kootii keessaa ajajaa gad aanaa isaa illee of irraa deebisuu dandeessa?
25 Have I now come up without YHWH against this place to destroy it? YHWH said to me, 'Go up against this land, and destroy it.'"'"
Ati waan ani dubbii Waaqayyoo malee iddoo kana lolee barbadeessuuf dhufe seetaa? Waaqayyo mataan isaa akka ani biyya kanatti duulee ishee barbadeessu natti dubbateera.’”
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, "Please speak to your servants in the Aramaic language; for we understand it. Do not speak with us in the Jews' language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall."
Kana irratti Eliiyaaqiim ilma Hilqiyaa, Shebnaa fi Yooʼaa ajajaa waraanaa sanaan, “Maaloo waan nu dhageenyuuf afaan warra Araamaayikiitiin garboota keetti dubbadhu. Utuma namoonni dallaa irra jiran dhagaʼanii afaan Ibrootaatiin nutti hin dubbatin” jedhan.
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, "Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn't he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?"
Ajajaan waraanaa sun garuu akkana jedhee deebise; “Namni gooftaan koo akka ani waan kana itti himuuf itti na erge gooftaa keessanii fi isin qofaa? Namoota dallaa irra tataaʼan warra akkuma keessan udaan ofii isaanii nyaatanii fincaan ofii isaanii dhuguu qabaniifis mitii?”
28 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, "Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Ergasii ajajaan waraanaa sun ol kaʼee afaan Ibrootaatiin akkana jedhe; “Dubbii mooticha guddaa, dubbii mootii Asoor dhagaʼaa!
29 Thus says the king, 'Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of my hand.
Mootichi akkana jedha: Hisqiyaas isin hin gowwoomsin. Inni harka kootii isin baasuu hin dandaʼu.
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in YHWH, saying, "YHWH will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria."
Hisqiyaas, ‘Waaqayyo dhugumaan nu baasa; magaalaan kunis dabarfamtee harka mooticha Asooritti hin kennamtu’ jechuudhaan akka isin Waaqayyoon amanattaniif isin hin sossobin.
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah.' For thus says the king of Assyria, 'Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern;
“Hisqiyaasin hin dhaggeeffatinaa. Mootiin Asoor akkana jedha: Ana wajjin walii galtee nagaa dhaabbadhaatii natti gad baʼaa. Ergasii tokkoon tokkoon keessan muka wayiniitii fi muka harbuu keessan irraa ni nyaattu; boolla bishaan keessanii keessaas ni dhugdu;
32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Do not listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, "YHWH will deliver us."
kunis hamma ani dhufee gara biyya akkuma biyya keessanii jirtuu, gara biyya midhaanii fi daadhii wayinii haaraatti, gara biyya buddeenaa fi iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitti, gara biyya muka ejersaatii fi dammaatti isin geessutti taʼa. Isin jireenya filadhaa malee duʼa hin filatinaa! “Waan inni, ‘Waaqayyo nu baraara’ jedhee isin dogoggorsuuf Hisqiyaasin hin dhagaʼinaa.
33 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Waaqni saboota kamii iyyuu takkumaa harka mooticha Asoor keessaa biyya ofii baafatee beekaa?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Waaqonni Hamaatii fi waaqonni Arfaad eessa jiru? Waaqonni Seefarwaayim, waaqonni Heenaatii fi Iwaa eessa jiru? Isaan harka koo keessaa Samaariyaa baasaniiruu?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that YHWH should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'"
Waaqota biyyoota kanneenii hunda keessaa kamtu harka koo keessaa biyya isaa baasuu dandaʼe? Yoos Waaqayyo akkamiin harka koo keessaa Yerusaalemin baasuu dandaʼa ree?”
36 But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, "Do not answer him."
Namoonni garuu sababii mootichi, “Deebii hin kenninaafii” jedhee ajajeef inuma calʼisan malee deebii tokko iyyuu hin kennine.
37 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Kana irratti Eliiyaaqiim ilmi Hilqiyaa bulchaan masaraa mootummaa, Shebnaa barreessaanii fi Yooʼaa ilmi Asaaf galmeessaan uffata isaanii tatarsaasanii gara Hisqiyaas dhaqanii waan ajajaan waraanaa sun jedhe itti ni himan.
