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.
Bangʼ tich maber mane Hezekia otimo, Senakerib ruodh Asuria nobiro momonjo Juda. Ne ogoyo agengʼa ne mier mochiel gohinga koparo ni onyalo kawogi mondo gidok mage.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come [with his army] and that they intended to attack Jerusalem,
Kane Hezekia oneno ni Senakerib nosebiro kendo noparo mar kedo kod Jerusalem,
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.
noporo wach gi jodonge kod jotend lweny mondo gigengʼ pi soko moa oko mar dala maduongʼ kendo ne gikonye.
Oganda maduongʼ nochokore kendo ne gigengʼo sokni duto aore mane kadho e piny kagiwacho niya, “Angʼo momiyo ruodhi mag Asuria biro mondo onwangʼ pi mangʼeny.”
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.
Eka notiyo matek koloso kuonde mane omukore mag ohinga kendo nogero kuonde maboyo mag ngʼicho. Nogero ohinga machielo e tok mokwongo kendo nomedo loso ndiri mosiro Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi. Bende noloso gig lweny kod okumbni mangʼeny.
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:
Noketo jotend lweny mondo otel ne ji kendo nochokogi e nyime e laru mar dhoranga dala maduongʼ kendo nojiwogi gi wechegi:
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].
“Beduru motegno kendo gi chir. Kik ubed gi luoro kata kik chunyu tho nikech ruodh Asuria kod jolweny mangʼeny man kode nimar wan gi teko maduongʼ moloye.
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.
Teko mar dhano ema ni kode to wan to wan kod Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa makonyowa kendo kedonwa e lwenjewa.” Kendo ji nobedo gi chir kane giwinjo wach Hezekia ruodh Juda.
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:
Bangʼe kane Senakerib ruodh Asuria kod jolweny mage duto ne ogoyo agengʼa Lakish, nooro jotend lweny mage Jerusalem mondo owach ne Hezekia ruodh Juda kod jo-Juda duto mane ni kanyo kowacho niya,
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?
“Ma e gima Senakerib ruodh Asuria wacho: En kama nade miketoe genoni, momiyo isiko Jerusalem ka ogoni agengʼa?
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.
Ka Hezekia wacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa biro resowa e lwet ruodh Asuria,’ donge uparo ni owitou mondo kech gi riyo onegu?
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”?
Donge Hezekia owuon nomuko kuonde motingʼore mar lemo kod kende mag misango mag nyasayeni kowachone jo-Juda kod jo-Jerusalem ni, ‘Nyaka ulam e nyim kendo mar misango achiel kendo unuwangʼ misango mau e wiye’?
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?
“Donge ungʼeyo gima an kod kwerena osetimo ni ogendini mamoko duto mag pinje? Dak ne nyiseche pinjego duto resgi e lweta?
Kuom nyiseche duto mag ogendini mane kwerena otieko, en mane kuomgi mosereso joge e lweta? Angʼo momiyo uparo ni nyasachu biro resou e lweta?
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'.”
Omiyo kik uwe Hezekia wuondu kendo mi ulal kama. Kik uyie kode nikech onge nyasach oganda kata pinyruoth moro amora ma osereso joge e lweta kata e lwet kwerena. Omiyo ere kaka nyasachu noresu e lweta!”
16 Sennacherib’s officers said more things to belittle Yahweh the God of the Israelis and Hezekiah, who served God [well].
Jotelo mag Senakerib nomedo wuoyo marach kuom Jehova Nyasaye kendo kuom jatichne Hezekia.
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.”
Bende ruoth nondiko baruwa moyanyogo Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel kendo nowuoyo kuome kojare niya, “Mana kaka nyiseche mag jopinje moko ne ok oresogi e lweta, omiyo nyasach Hezekia bende ok nores joge e lweta.”
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].
Bangʼe negiluongo joma ne nitie Jerusalem e ohinga ka gikok gi dwol maduongʼ gi dho jo-Hibrania mondo obwog-gi kendo omi gibed gi luoro eka mondo gikaw dala maduongʼno.
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.
Ne giwuoyo marach kuom Nyasach Jerusalem kaka ne giwuoyo kuom nyiseche molos gi lwedo mag ogendini mag piny.
20 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to God, praying about this.
Ruoth Hezekia gi janabi Isaya wuod Amoz noywagore ka lemo e nyim polo kuom wachni.
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.
Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye nooro malaika mane onego jolweny gi jochungʼ kod jotelo e kambi mar ruodh Asuria, omiyo nowuok modok e pinye gi wichkuot. Kane odhi e kar lemo mar nyasache, yawuote moko nonege kod ligangla.
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.
Kamano e kaka Jehova Nyasaye noreso Hezekia kod jo-Jerusalem motony e lwet Senakerib ruodh Asuria kendo e lwet ruodhi mamoko bende. Omiyo Jehova Nyasaye noritogi kuom pinje duto mane olworogi.
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.
Ji mangʼeny nokelo ni Jehova Nyasaye mich mag-gi Jerusalem kendo Hezekia ruodh Juda bende negikelone mich ma nengogi tek, kendo chakre kanyo ogendini duto nomiye luor maduongʼ.
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].
E ndalogo Hezekia nobedo matuo kendo nohewore, omiyo nolamo Jehova Nyasaye mane odwoke kendo nomiye ranyisi mar hono.
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.
To Hezekia ne nigi sunga e chunye kendo ne ok odwoko erokamano kaluwore gi ngʼwono manotimne; omiyo mirima nomako Jehova Nyasaye kode kaachiel gi Juda gi Jerusalem.
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].
To Hezekia nolokore moweyo timo richo mar sungruok e chunye mana kaka jo-Jerusalem bende notimo, omiyo mirimb Jehova Nyasaye ne ok ochako omake kodgi e ndalo Hezekia.
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.
Hezekia ne nigi mwandu mangʼeny kod luor mi noloso kuondege mag fedha gi dhahabu gi kite ma nengogi tek gi gik mangʼwe ngʼar, gi okumbni kod gik moko mopogore opogore mabeyo mage.
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].
Bende nogoyo deche mikane cham mokaa gi divai molos manyien kod mo kendo nogero kunde ne dhok mopogore opogore kod abila mag rombe.
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.
Nogero mier kendo ne en kod rombe mangʼeny kod kweth mag dhok nikech Nyasaye nogwedhe kod mwandu mangʼeny.
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.
Hezekia ema ne ogengʼo thidhna matin mar Gihon kobaro pige mondo oluw bath Dala Maduongʼ mar Daudi yo podho chiengʼ. Tije duto mane lwete omulo nodhi maber.
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].
To kane oorne joote gi jotend Babulon mondo openje kuom ranyisi mar hono mane otimore e piny, Nyasaye noweye mondo oteme mondo eka ongʼe gima ne nitiere e chunye.
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’.
Weche mamoko duto mag ndalo loch Hezekia kod timbene mabeyo ondiki e fweny mar janabi Isaya wuod Amoz e kitap ruodhi mag Juda kod Israel.
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.
Hezekia notho moyweyo kaka kwerene kendo noyike e got kama liete nyikwa Daudi ne nitiere. Jo-Juda duto kod joma ne nitie Jerusalem nomiye duongʼ kane otho kendo Manase wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
