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.
Lẹ́yìn gbogbo èyí ti Hesekiah ti fi òtítọ́ ṣe, Sennakeribu ọba Asiria wá ó sì gbógun ti Juda. Ó gbógun ti àwọn ìlú ààbò, ó ń ronú láti ṣẹ́gun wọn fún ara rẹ̀.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come [with his army] and that they intended to attack Jerusalem,
Nígbà tí Hesekiah rí i pé Sennakeribu ti wá, àti pé ó fẹ́ láti dá ogun sílẹ̀ lórí Jerusalẹmu,
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.
Ó gbèrò pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ láti di orísun omi ní ìta ìlú ńlá, wọ́n sì ràn án lọ́wọ́.
Ọ̀pọ̀ ogun ọkùnrin péjọ, wọ́n sì dí gbogbo àwọn orísun àti àwọn omi tó ń sàn tí ó ń sàn gba ti ilẹ̀ náà. “Kí ni ó dé tí àwọn ọba Asiria fi wá tí wọ́n sì rí ọ̀pọ̀ omi?” Wọ́n wí.
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.
Nígbà náà ó ṣiṣẹ́ gidigidi ní títún gbogbo ara ògiri tí ó ti bàjẹ́ ṣe, ó sì ń kọ́ àwọn ilé ìṣọ́ gíga sókè rẹ̀. Ó kọ́ ògiri mìíràn sí ìta. Ó sì tún pẹ̀lú ibi ìtẹ́jú ilé ní ti ìlú ńlá Dafidi. Ó ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ iye ohun ìjà àti àwọn àpáta.
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:
Ó yan àwọn ìjòyè ológun sórí àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì pè wọ́n jọ, níwájú rẹ̀ ní ìbámu ní ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi. Ó sì ki wọ́n láyà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí:
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].
“Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára, àti kí ẹ sì ní ìgboyà. Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù tàbí ní ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì ọkàn nítorí tí ọba Asiria àti ọ̀pọ̀ ọmọ-ogun pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, nítorí tí agbára ńlá wà pẹ̀lú wa ju òun lọ.
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.
Agbára ẹran-ara nìkan ni ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa pẹ̀lú wa láti ràn wá lọ́wọ́ àti láti ja ìjà wa.” Àwọn ènìyàn sì ní ìgboyà láti ara ohun tí Hesekiah ọba Juda wí.
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:
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Sennakeribu ọba Asiria àti gbogbo àwọn ogun rẹ̀ ń gbógun sí Lakiṣi. Ó rán àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ sí Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú iṣẹ́ yí fún Hesekiah ọba Juda àti fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda tí ó wà níbẹ̀:
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?
“Èyí ni ohun tí Sennakeribu ọba Asiria wí, ‘Lórí kí ni ẹ̀yin gbé ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé yín lé, tí ẹ̀yin fi dúró sí Jerusalẹmu lábẹ́ ìgbógun sí?’
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.
Nígbà tí Hesekiah wí pé, ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọba Asiria,’ ó ń ṣì yín tọ́ ṣọ́nà, kí ẹ bá lè kú fún ebi àti òǹgbẹ.
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”?
Ṣé Hesekiah fúnra rẹ̀ kò mú àwọn ọlọ́run ibi gíga àti àwọn pẹpẹ kúrò, tí ó ń wí fún Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú pẹpẹ kan àti láti sun àwọn ẹbọ lórí rẹ̀’?
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?
“Ṣé ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ ohun tí èmi àti àwọn baba mi ti ṣe sí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ mìíràn? Ǹjẹ́ àwọn Ọlọ́run tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn ní agbára láti gba ilẹ̀ wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi?
Ta ni nínú gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí tí àwọn baba mi ti parun, tí ó le gbà ènìyàn rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ mi, tí Ọlọ́run yín yóò fi le gbà yín lọ́wọ́ mi?
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'.”
Nísinsin yìí, ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah ó tàn yín àti ṣì yín tọ́ ṣọ́nà báyìí. Ẹ má ṣe gbà á gbọ́, nítorí tí kò sí ọlọ́run orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn tàbí ìjọba tí ó ní agbára láti gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi tàbí lọ́wọ́ àwọn baba mi, mélòó mélòó wa ni Ọlọ́run yín tí yóò gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi!”
16 Sennacherib’s officers said more things to belittle Yahweh the God of the Israelis and Hezekiah, who served God [well].
Àwọn ìjòyè Sennakeribu sọ̀rọ̀ síwájú sí i ní ìlòdì sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àti sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Hesekiah.
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.”
Ọba pẹ̀lú sì kọ àwọn ìwé ní bíbú Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli àti ní sísọ èyí ní ìlòdì sí: “Ní gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ mìíràn kò ṣe gba àwọn ènìyàn wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ọlọ́run Hesekiah kì yóò gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi.”
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].
Lẹ́yìn náà wọ́n pè jáde ní èdè Heberu sí àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà lára ògiri, láti dá ọjọ́ fún wọn, ki wọn kí ó lè fi agbára mú ìlú náà.
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.
Wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀ nípa Ọlọ́run Jerusalẹmu bí wọ́n ti ṣe nípa àwọn ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn mìíràn ti àgbáyé, iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.
20 Then King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah cried out to God, praying about this.
Ọba Hesekiah àti wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi sọkún jáde nínú àdúrà sí ọ̀run nípa èyí.
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.
Olúwa sì ran angẹli tí ó pa gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun àti àwọn adarí àti àwọn ìjòyè tí ó wà nínú àgọ́ ọba Asiria run. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó padà sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìtìjú. Nígbà tí ó sì lọ sínú ilé ọlọ́run rẹ̀, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gé e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà.
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa yọ Hesekiah àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu kúrò lọ́wọ́ Sennakeribu ọba Asiria àti lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn mìíràn. Ó tọ́jú wọn ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.
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.
Ọ̀pọ̀ mú ọrẹ wá sí Jerusalẹmu fún Olúwa àti àwọn ẹ̀bùn iyebíye fún Hesekiah ọba Juda. Ó sì gbéga lójú gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè lẹ́yìn náà.
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].
Ní ọjọ́ wọ́n nì Hesekiah ṣe àárẹ̀, ó sì dójú ikú. Ó gbàdúrà sí Olúwa tí ó dá a lóhùn, tí ó sì fún un ní àmì àgbàyanu.
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.
Ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn Hesekiah ṣe ìgbéraga, kò sì kọbi ara sí i inú rere tí a fihàn án. Nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa wà lórí rẹ̀ àti lórí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.
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].
Nígbà náà ni Hesekiah ronúpìwàdà ní ti ìgbéraga ọkàn rẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa kò wá sí orí wọn ní ìgbà àwọn ọjọ́ Hesekiah.
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.
Hesekiah ní ọ̀pọ̀ ọrọ̀ ńlá àti ọlá, ó sì ṣe àwọn ilé ìṣúra fún fàdákà àti wúrà rẹ̀ àti fún àwọn òkúta iyebíye rẹ̀, àwọn tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn àwọn àpáta àti gbogbo oríṣìí nǹkan iyebíye.
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].
Ó kọ́ àwọn ilé pẹ̀lú láti tọ́jú àwọn ọkà àwọn tí wọ́n ka, ọtí tuntun àti òróró; ó sì ṣe àwọn àtíbàbà fún oríṣìí àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn àti àwọn àṣémọ́ fun àwọn ọ̀wọ̀ ẹran.
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.
Ó kọ́ àwọn ìletò, ó sì gba ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àti agbo ẹran, nítorí tí Ọlọ́run ti fún un ní ọ̀pọ̀ ọrọ̀ ńlá.
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.
Hesekiah ni ó dí ojú ìṣúra apá òkè ti orísun Gihoni. Ó sì gbe gba ìsàlẹ̀ sí ìhà ìwọ oòrùn ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi. Ó ṣe àṣeyọrí rere nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó dáwọ́lé.
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].
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ ọba wá láti Babeli láti bi í lérè nípa àmì ìyanu tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ nì, Ọlọ́run fi sílẹ̀ láti dán an wò àti láti mọ gbogbo nǹkan tí ó wà lọ́kàn rẹ̀.
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’.
Gbogbo iṣẹ́ yòókù ti ìjọba Hesekiah àti àwọn ìṣe rẹ̀, ìfarajì rẹ̀ ni a kọ sínú ìwé ìran wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi nínú ìwé àwọn ọba Juda àti Israẹli
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.
Hesekiah sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀. A sì sin ín sórí òkè níbi tí àwọn ibojì àwọn àtẹ̀lé Dafidi wà. Gbogbo Juda àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu ni ó bu ọlá fún un nígbà tí ó kú. Manase ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
