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.
Ie añe i fitoloñañe naho figahiñañe izay, le pok’ eo t’i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore naname Iehodà le nañarikatoke o rova fatratseo vaho naereñere’e ty hiboroboñak’ ao am-bata’e.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come [with his army] and that they intended to attack Jerusalem,
Aa ie nioni’ Iekizkia te pok’ eo t’i Senakeribe, misafiry ty hialy am’ Ierosalaime,
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.
le nilahatse amo roandriañeo naho amo fanalolahio ty hamempeañe o rano migoangoañe alafe’ i rovaio vaho nañolots’ aze iereo.
Aa le maro t’indaty nivory nampizenjeñe o rano migoangoañeo naho i torahañe niranga i taney, ami’ty hoe: Aa vaho homb’ etoa hao o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo hañisake rano maro?
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.
Nañosi-batan-dre namboatse i nirobak’ amy kijoliy naho nampitroatse fitalakesañ’ abo ama’e naho i kijoly alafe’ey naho nifatrare’e ty Milo an-drova’ i Davide ao vaho niranjie’e fialiañe naho aron-defo tsifotofoto.
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:
Le nampijadoña’e am’ondatio ty mpiaolo añ’aly naho nampivoria’e an-tane midañadaña an-dalambei’ i rovay vaho nisaontsy fañosihañe am’ iereo ami’ty hoe:
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].
Mihafatrara naho mahasibeha, ko hembañe, ko miroreke amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey, ndra i valobohòke mindre ama’ey, amy te bey i aman-tikañey ta i ama’ey;
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.
fitañe nofotse ty ama’e; fe aman-tika t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika hañolotse an-tika naho hialy amo hotakotan-tikañeo. Le nampanintsiñe ondatio ty enta’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
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:
Ie añe le nampihitrife’ i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore mb’e Ierosalaime—ie niatreatre i Lakise henane zay rekets’ i valobohòn-dahin-defo’ey—mb’ amy Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda naho mb’e Iehoda vaho Ierosalaime mb’eo o mpitoro’eo nanao ty hoe:
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?
Hoe t’i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore: Ino ty iatoa’ areo kanao ifeaha’ areo ty fañarikatohañe Ierosalaime.
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.
Tsy Iekizkia hao ty mamañahy anahareo, hanolora’ areo vatañe hampivetrahe’ ty kerè naho ty harandrano, ami’ty hoe: Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika ty hamotsotse antika am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey?
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”?
Tsy Iekizkiay hao ty nañafake o tamboho’eo naho o kitreli’eo vaho nandily Iehoda naho Ierosalaime ami’ty hoe; Añatrefa’ ty kitrely raike ty hitalahoa’ areo, le ama’e ty hisoroña’ areo?
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?
Tsy fohi’ areo hao o nanoeko naho o roaeko amo hene’ ondaty an-taneoo? Ia amo ‘ndrahare’ o kilakila’ ondatioo ty naharombake i tane’ iareoy an-tañako?
Ia amo fonga ‘ndrahare’ o kilakila’ ondaty nifongoren-droaekoo ty naharombake ondati’eo an-tañako, te haharombak’ anahareo an-tañako ka t’i Andrianañahare’ areo?
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'.”
Ie amy zao, ko apo’ areo ho sigìhe’ Iekizkia, ndra ho risihe’e an-tsata inoñe, ko iantofañe; fa tsy eo ze o ndraharem-pifeheañe ndra fifelehañe naharombake ondati’eo an-tañako naho am-pitàn-droaeko zao; somandrake te tsy haharombak’ anahareo an-tañako t’i Andrianañahare’ areo.
16 Sennacherib’s officers said more things to belittle Yahweh the God of the Israelis and Hezekiah, who served God [well].
Mbe nanovoñ-inje am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare naho niatreatre i mpitoro’e Iekizkiay o mpitoro’eo.
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.”
Nanokitse taratasy ka re nanigìke Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele naho nañabiañe Aze, ami’ty hoe: Hambañe amy te tsy naharombake ondati’eo an-tañako o ndrahare’ o fifeheañe an-taneoo ro tsy haharombahan’ Añahare’ Iekizkia an-tañako ondati’eo.
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].
Le nitazataza am-peo mafe ami’ty saontsin-te-Iehoda am’ ondati’ Ierosalaime ambone’ i kijoliio, hampirevendreveñe naho hañembañe, handrambesa’ iareo i rovay.
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.
Le nampanahafe’ iareo talily amo ndraharen-kilakila-ndati’ ty tane toio, o toe satam-pità’ ondatio, t’i Andrianañahare’ Ierosalaime.
20 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to God, praying about this.
Aa le izay ty nihalalia’ Iekizkia mpanjaka naho Iesaià mpitoky ana’ i Amotse, an-toreo mb’an-dindiñ’ añe.
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.
Nañirak’ anjely amy zao t’Iehovà, nampaito o fanalolahy iabio naho o mpifeheo naho o mpifeleke an-tobem-panjaka’ i Asoreo. Aa le nimpoly an-kasalaran-daharan-dre mb’an-tane’e mb’eo. Aa ie nimoak’ an-trañon-drahare’e ao, le nanjevoñ’ aze am-pibara o nimoak’ an-kova’eo.
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.
Aa le rinomba’ Iehovà t’Iekizkia naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo am-pità’ i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore naho am-pità’ iareo iaby vaho nañaro iareo añ’ariary.
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.
Le maro ty ninday ravoravo mb’am’ Iehovà e Ierosalaime ao naho raha fanjàka am’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda, ie nonjoneñe am-pahaisaha’ o kilakila’ondatio henane zay.
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].
Natindry an-tihy fa heta’e t’Iekizkia tamy andro rezay le nihalaly amy Iehovà naho nanoiñe aze t’Iehovà vaho tinolo’e viloñe.
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.
Fe nifotetse amy hasoa nanoeñe ama’ey t’Iekizkia, fa nitoabotse ty arofo’e le nivotrak’ ama’e naho am’Iehodà vaho am’ Ierosalaime ty haviñerañe
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].
Aa le nirèke amy fitoaborañ’ arofo’ey t’Iekizkia, ie naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo vaho tsy nifetsak’ am’ iereo ty haviñera’ Iehovà tañ’ andro’ Iekizkia.
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.
Nanam-bara naho asiñe ra’elahy t’Iekizkia; le namboare’e fañajàñe volafoty naho volamena naho vatosoa naho fampafiriañe naho fikalañe vaho ze hene karazam-panake soa;
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].
riha ho amo nivokareñeo, ty ampemba naho divay vaho menake; naho lapalapa ho a ze hene karazan-kare naho mpirai-troke vaho mpirai-lia.
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.
Mbore nañoren-drova ho am-bata’e naho nanontoñe mpirai-lia naho mpirai-troke tsifotofoto; fa nitoloran’ Añahare vara bey.
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.
Iekizkia ty nanampe ty loha-rano’ i Gihone vaho nampizotsoe’e mivantañe mañandrefa’ i rova’ i Davidey. Le niraorao amo fitoloña’e iabio t’Iekizkia.
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].
Fe o sorotà’ i Bavele niraheñe mb’ama’e mb’eo hañontane o halatsàñe nanoeñe amy taneioo, le nengan’ Añahare re hitsoha’e aze haharofoana’e ze hene añ’arofo’e ao.
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’.
Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iekizkia naho o fatariha’eo, oniño t’ie misokitse amy aroñaro’ Iesaia mpitoky ana’ i Amotsey vaho amy bokem-panjaka’ Iehodà naho Israeley.
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.
Le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’Iekizkia naho nalente’ iareo amy talèn-kiborin’ ana’ i Davidey; le hene niasy aze amy havilasi’ey t’Iehodà naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Menasè ana’e.
