< 2 Chronicles 32 >
1 After King Hezekiah had obeyed Yahweh’s instructions and had done all those things, King Sennacherib of Assyria came [with his army] and invaded Judah. He commanded his soldiers to surround the cities that had walls around them, thinking that they would [break through those walls and] conquer those cities.
Hina bagade Hesigaia da Hina Godema molole fa: no bobogei. Be amogalu, Asilia hina bagade Sena: galibi da Yuda fi doagala: i. E da gagili sali moilai bai bagade huluane eale disili, ea dadi gagui dunu ilia gagili sali dobea muguluma: ne sia: i.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come [with his army] and that they intended to attack Jerusalem,
Amola Sena: gelibi da Yelusaleme doagala: ma: ne ilegei. Hina bagade Hesigaia da amo hou dawa: loba,
3 he consulted with his officials and army leaders. They said among themselves, “Why should we allow the king of Assyria [and his army] to come and find plenty of water to drink?” So they decided to stop the water from flowing outside the city. So a large group of men gathered together and blocked all the springs and the stream that flowed through that area.
e amola eagene ouligisu dunu da Asilia dunu ilia da Yelusaleme gadenene doaga: lalu, hano mae moma: ne logo hedofama: ne, hano logo Yelusaleme gadili galu, amo hedofamusa: dawa: i. Eagene ouligisu dunu da Yelusaleme fi dunu bagohame gadili oule asili, gu hano logo huluane hedofai.
5 Then they worked hard to repair all the sections of the city wall that had been broken, and they built watchtowers on the walls. They built another wall outside/around the wall that was already outside the city, and they strengthened the defenses on the sloping terraces [on the east side of the area called ‘The City of David’]. They also made a large number of weapons and shields.
Hina bagade da Yelusaleme bu gasawane gagili salima: ne, gagili sali dobea dodoa: i, amola amo da: iya diasu gado gagagula heda: su gaguli gagai. Amola e da gagoi gadili, eno dobea gagui. Amola e da gagili sali liligi amo da Yelusaleme musa: gagui gusudili dialu, be wali osobo gasa: le da: iya ligisi, amo dodoa: i. Amola e sia: beba: le, ilia da goge agei amola da: igene ga: su bagohame hamoi.
6 Hezekiah appointed army commanders, and he gathered them in front of him in the square at one of the city gates, and he encouraged them by saying this to them:
E da dadi gagui ouligisu dunu, ilia Yelusaleme fi dunu huluane ouligima: ne ilegei, amola ilia huluane sogebi amo da Yelusaleme logo ga: su gadenene dialu, amogawi gilisima: ne sia: i.
7 “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged on account of the king of Assyria and the huge army that is with him, because [Yahweh] is with us, and his [power] is greater than their [power].
E da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia gasa fili, amola Asilia hina bagade amola ea dadi gagui wa: i ilima mae beda: ma! Ninima gai gasa bagade hou da ema gai gasa hou, bagadewane baligisa.
8 They have to rely on the power of humans, but we have Yahweh our God to help us and to fight battles for us.” So the people became more confident because of what Hezekiah, the king of Judah, said.
Ea gasa da osobo bagade dunu ea gasa fawane. Be ninia Hina Gode da ninima gai esala. Amola E da nini fidimu amola ninima gale gegemu.” Dunu huluane da ilia hina bagade ea sia: nababeba: le, dogo denesi.
9 Later, when Sennacherib and all his soldiers were surrounding Lachish [city], he sent some officers to Jerusalem to give this message to King Hezekiah and to all the people of Judah who were there:
Amalu, fa: no, Sena: gelibi amola ea dadi gagui wa: i da La: igisi moilai bai bagadega esaloba, e da Hesigaia amola Yuda fi dunu ili gilisili Yelusalemega esalu, ilima amane sia: si,
10 “[I am] Sennacherib, the [great] king of Assyria, [and] this is what I say: 'While you are staying in Jerusalem, my soldiers are surrounding the city. So why [RHQ] are you so confident?
“Na da Asilia hina bagade Sena: gelibi! Na da dilima adole ba: sa. Na da Yelusaleme eale disi dagoi. Dilia abuliba: le hame beda: sala: ?
11 Hezekiah says to you, “Yahweh our God will save us from [being defeated by the army of] the king of Assyria,” but he is misleading you. He wants you to die from having no food or water.
Hesigaia da dilima, dilia Hina Gode da nini dilima mae hasalasima: ne, dili gaga: mu sia: sa. Be Hesigaia da dilima ogogosa. E da dili ha: ga amola hano hanaga bogoma: ne, logo doasisa.
12 Isn’t Hezekiah the one who told his men to get rid of your god Yahweh’s shrines and altars on the hilltops, saying to [you people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah, “You must worship at only one altar and burn sacrifices on only that altar”?
Hesigaia hisu da Hina Godema nodone sia: ne gadosu sogebi amola oloda huluane gugunufinisili, Yuda fi dunu amola Yelusaleme fi dunu ilima oloda afae fawane amoga nodone sia: ne gadoma: ne amola gabusiga: manoma gobele salima: ne sia: i.
13 'Do you people not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the people-groups in other countries? [We destroyed them all, and] none of the gods of those nations were ever able to prevent my [troops] from conquering them! So how can your god prevent my soldiers from conquering you?
Dilia na aowalali, ilia eno fifi asi ilima hamosu amo dawa: sala: ? Eno fifi asi gala dunu ilia ‘gode’ da Asilia hina bagade ili mae hasalima: ne, gaga: bela: ? Hame mabu!
Amo fifi asi gala huluane ilia ‘gode’ da ninia ili mae hasalima: ne, hamedafa gaga: i. Amaiba: le, dilia abuliba: le dilia Gode da dili gaga: ma: ne dawa: sala: ?
15 So do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you like this. Do not believe what he says, because no god of any nation or kingdom has ever been able to rescue his people from being conquered by my army and the armies of my ancestors. So certainly your god will not be able to rescue you from my power'.”
Hesigaia da dilima ogogosa. Ea sia: dafawaneyale mae dawa: ma. Fifi asi gala huluane ilia ‘gode’ da Asilia hina bagade ili mae hasalima: ne gaga: mu da hamedei ba: i. Amaiba: le, dilia Gode da dili gaga: mu hamedeidafa ba: mu.”
16 Sennacherib’s officers said more things to belittle Yahweh the God of the Israelis and Hezekiah, who served God [well].
Asilia eagene ouligisu dunu ilia da baligili Hina Gode amola Hina Gode ea hawa: hamosu dunu Hesigaia elea hou lasogole sia: i.
17 King Sennacherib wrote more letters insulting Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [belonged to/worshiped]. He said things like this: “The gods [worshiped by] the people-groups in other countries did not rescue their people from my power. Similarly, the god of Hezekiah will not rescue his people from my power.”
Amola meloa amo Asilia hina bagade ea dedei, amo ganodini Isala: ili Hina Godema odoga: su sia: bagade ba: i, “Fifi asi gala huluane ilia ‘gode’ da na gasaga ili hasalima: ne hame gaga: i. Amola Hesigaia ea Gode da dili na mae hasalima: ne, hamedafa gaga: mu.”
18 Then King Sennachereb’s officers shouted in the Hebrew language to the people who were on the wall, in order to cause them to be terrified, thinking that as a result the army of Assyria could capture the city [without a battle].
Sena: gelibi eagene ouligisu dunu da amo sia: Hibulu sia: ga wele sia: i. Bai ilia da Yelusaleme fi dunu dobea da: iya esalu, amo ili beda: ma: ne amola da: i dioma: ne hamomusa: dawa: i galu. Amalalu, ilia da hedolowane moilai sugumusa: dawa: i.
19 They belittled the God [worshiped by the people] of Jerusalem as they belittled the gods of the other people-groups of the world—saying that they were only [idols] made by humans.
Ilia da Yelusaleme hadigi Godedafa, amo da fifi asi gala eno ilia udigili ogogosu ‘gode’, amo ili defele dawa: iwane sia: dasu.
20 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to God, praying about this.
Amalalu, hina bagade Hesigaia amola balofede dunu Aisaia (A: imose egefe), ela da Godema sia: ne gadoi amola Godea ili fidima: ne Ema digini wele sia: i.
21 And [that night] Yahweh sent an angel who killed all the soldiers of Assyria and their leaders and their officers in the place where the king of Assyria and his army had set up their tents. So the king of Assyria left and returned to his own country, very disgraced. And one day when he went into the temple of his god, some of his sons struck him with their swords and killed him.
Hina Gode da a: igele dunu asunasili, e da Asilia dadi gagui dunu amola ilia ouligisu dunu medole legei. Amaiba: le, Asilia hina bagade da gogosiane, Asilia sogega buhagi. Eso afaega, e da ea ogogosu ‘gode’ ea debolo diasua esaloba, egefelali mogili da gegesu gobiheiga, e medole legei.
22 That is how Yahweh rescued Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from their other enemies. Yahweh took care of them (OR, gave them peace) everywhere in the country.
Hina Gode da agoane hina bagade Hesigaia amola Yelusaleme fi dunu huluane amo Asilia hina bagade Sena: gelibi amola Yuda fi ha lai dunu eno, ili mae hasalima: ne gaga: i dagoi.
23 Many people brought offerings for Yahweh to Jerusalem, and also brought valuable gifts for King Hezekiah. And from that time, Hezekiah was highly respected/honored by the people of all the other nations.
Dunu bagohame da Yelusalemega, Hina Godema gobele salimusa: amola Hesigaiama hahawane dogolegele iasu liligi imunusa: misi. Ha amogainini, fifi asi gala dunu huluane da Hesigaiama nodone dawa: i.
24 About that time, Hezekiah became very ill. He was about to die. But he prayed to Yahweh, and Yahweh answered his prayer. He performed a miracle [and healed Hezekiah].
Amo galu, hina bagade Hesigaia da olole, bogomuwane galu. E Godema sia: ne gadoiba: le, Hina Gode da e uhinisima: ne, ema dawa: digima: ne olelesu i.
25 But Hezekiah [SYN] was very proud, and he did not thank Yahweh for being kind to him. Therefore Yahweh was angry with him and [and punished him] and [the people of] Jerusalem and other places in Judah.
Be Hesigaia da gasa fili, Hina Gode Ea uhinisisu hou ba: beba: le, Godema hame nodoi. Amaiba: le, Yuda fi amola Yelusaleme fi da se nabi.
26 Then Hezekiah said that he was sorry for being proud, and the people of Jerusalem also said that they were sorry [for their sins]. So Yahweh did not punish them during the remaining years that Hezekiah [was their king].
Be fa: nowane, Hesigaia amola Yelusaleme fi da ilia hou fofonoboi. Amaiba: le, Hesigaia esalebe galu, ilima se hame i.
27 Hezekiah became very rich and was greatly honored. His [workers] made storerooms for his silver and gold, and for his very valuable stones, and for spices and shields and other valuable things.
Hina bagade Hesigaia da liligi bagade gaguiwane hamoi. Dunu huluane da ema nodosu. Ea sia: beba: le, ilia da liligi ligisisu sesei gaguia gagai. Amo ganodini, ilia da ea gouli, silifa, igi noga: idafa, ha: i manu fodole nasu, da: igene ga: su amola eno noga: idafa liligi, ligisisu.
28 [His workers] also built buildings to store the grain and wine and [olive] oil [that people produced and brought to him]. They also made stalls for various kinds of cattle and pens for his flocks [of sheep and goats].
Amola ea sia: beba: le, ilia da liligi ligisisu diasu gaguia gagai. Amo ganodini, ilia da ea gala: ine, waini hano amola olife susuligi ligisisu. Amola ilia da ea bulamagau diasu gaguia gagai, amola sibi gagole gagai.
29 They built towns and acquired for the king many flocks [of sheep and goats] and herds [of cattle], because God had enabled him to become very rich.
Eno amolawane, Gode da ema bulamagau amola sibi amola liligi bagohamedafa iabeba: le, e da moilai bai bagade eno bagohame gaguia gagai.
30 Hezekiah was the one who told his workers to block the place where the water flows out of the Gihon Spring, and to build a tunnel through which the water flowed to the west side of the area called ‘The City of David’. He was able to do everything that he wanted to do.
Hina bagade Hesigaia da Gihone Gu hano hihiga: le, ea hano logo eno hamegadili ogane, osobo hagududili, Yelusaleme gagoi ganodini doafasi. Hesigaia da ea hamosu defele huluane didili hamoi.
31 But when messengers who were sent by the rulers of Babylon came and asked about the miracle that God had performed for him, God allowed Hezekiah to say what he himself wanted to say, in order to test [whether or not Hezekiah would admit that God had performed a miracle].
Amola Ba: bilone alofele iasu dunu da musa: hame ba: su hou amo abedela manoba, (2 Hina 20:7-19), Gode da Hesigaia hi hanaiga hamoma: ne yolesi. Bai E da ea hou adoba: musa: dawa: i.
32 A record of the other things that happened while Hezekiah was ruling, and the things that he did to please God, is on the scroll in which is written the vision that [Yahweh gave to] the prophet Isaiah. It is also written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah and Israel’.
Hesigaia ea hamonanu eno, amola ea Hina Godema asigidafa hou, amo huluane da “Balofede Dunu Aisaia (A: imose egefe) ea Esala Ba: su Meloa” amola “Yuda amola Isala: ili hina bagade Ilia Hamonanu Meloa” amo ganodini dedene legei.
33 When Hezekiah died, he was buried in the tombs where the most respected kings [of Judah] were buried. Everyone in Jerusalem and other places in Judah honored him. Then his son Manasseh became the king.
Hesigaia da bogole amola ilia ea da: i hodo gadodili sogebiga, hina bagade ilia gele gelabo ganodini sali. Yuda fi amola Yelusaleme fi dunu huluane da ema asigiba: le, ema nodomusa: gegedole fi. Egefe Ma: na: se da e bagia hina bagade hamoi.
