2 Kings 18

1 After King Hoshea had been ruling Israel for almost three years, Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, began to rule Judah.

Hagi Ela ne'mofo Hosea'ma Israeli vahe kinima 3'a kafuma nemanigeno'a, Ahasi nemofo Hezekai'a agafa huno Juda vahe kinia fore huno mani'ne.

2 He was 25 years old when he became the king [of Judah] and he ruled from Jerusalem for 29 years. His mother was Abijah, the daughter of [a man whose name was] Zechariah.

Hagi Hezekaiana kafu'amo'a 25fu nehigeno kinia fore huteno, 29ni'a kafufi Jerusalemia kinia mani'neno kegava hu'ne. Nerera agi'a Abijakino Zekaraia mofa mani'ne.

3 Hezekiah did things that Yahweh considered to be right, like his ancestor King David had done.

Hagi Negeho ne' Deviti'ma hu'neaza huno Hezekaia Ra Anumzamofo avurera maka fatgo avu'avaza hu'ne.

4 He destroyed the places where people worshiped Yahweh on the tops of hills, and he broke into pieces the stone pillars [for worshiping the goddess Asherah]. He also broke into pieces the bronze [replica/statue of a] snake that Moses had made. He did that because the people had named it Nehushtan, and they were burning incense in front of it to honor it.

Hagi havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza kumatmina Hezekai'a eri haviza hunetreno havema asente'nezama mono'ma nehaza havea ru tamana hunetreno, Asera havi anumzamofo amema'ama zafare'ma antre'za tro'ma hunte'nazana rukafri atre'ne. Ana nehuno Mosese'ma bronsireti osifavema tro'ma huntenege'za, Nehustani'ema nehaza osifavere'ma mnanentake zantamina kre mna nevu'za mono'ma hunentaza zana erino ru tamanahu osi osi hutre'ne.

5 Hezekiah trusted in Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped.] There was no king who ruled Judah before him or after him who was as [devoted to Yahweh as] he was.

Hezekai'a Israeli vahe Ra Anumzantera hanavetino amentintia hu'ne. Hagi ko'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'za e'naza kini vahe'ene, agriteti'ma henkama fore'ma hu'naza kini vahepintira magore hu'za agrikna kinia forera osu'naze.

6 He remained loyal to Yahweh and never disobeyed him. He carefully obeyed all the commandments that Yahweh had given to Moses.

Agra Ra Anumzamofona maka kna azeri antrako nehuno, amefira huomi'ne. Ana nehuno Ra Anumzamo'ma Mosesema ami'nea kasegea amage ante'ne.

7 Yahweh always (helped/was with) him. He was successful in everything that he did. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and refused to (pay taxes to him/do what the king of Assyria wanted him to do).

Anama higeno'a Ra Anumzamo'a Hezekai'ene mani'negeno, maka'zama agrama hiazamo'a knare'zanke hu'ne. Hagi Asiria kinimofo kema antahino agri agoragama mani'neno eri'zama'ama erinte'zankura aveosi'ne.

8 His army defeated [the soldiers of] Philistia as far [south] as Gaza [city] and the nearby villages. They conquered the entire area, from the smallest watchtower to the largest cities surrounded by walls.

Hagi ne'onse kumapine hankave keginama hu'naza ranra kumapima nemaniza Filistia vahera ogantu Gaza rankumateti agafa huteno, ana kuma tva'onte'ma me'nea ne'onse kumapima nemaniza vahera, Hezekaia'a ana maka hara huzmagatere'ne.

9 After King Hezekiah had been ruling Judah for almost four years, and when King Hoshea had been ruling Israel for almost seven years, [the army of] King Shalmaneser of Assyria invaded Israel and surrounded Samaria [city].

Hagi Hezekai'ama kinima manino egeno 4ma hia kafurera, Ela nemofo Hosea'ma Israeli kinima mani'neana kafu'amo'a 7ni hu'ne. Ana kafufina Asiria kini ne' Salmaneseli'a sondia vahezaga'ane eno ha'huzmante'naku Sameria kumara eme avazagi kagi'ne.

10 In the third year they captured the city. That was when Hezekiah has been ruling Judah for almost six years, and when Hoshea had been ruling Israel for almost nine years.

Hagi Asiria vahe'mo'za Sameria rankumara avazagikagiza hara hume nevazageno 3'a kafu evutege'za, ana kumara hara huzmagatere'za eri'naze. Higeno ama ana kafumo'a Hezekaima kinima manino e'nea kafua 6si higeno, Hosea'ma kinima manino'ma e'nea kafua 9ni hu'ne.

11 The king of Assyria commanded that the people of Israel be taken to Assyria. Some of them were taken to Halah [town], some were taken to a place near the Habor [River] in [the] Gozan [region], and some were taken to cities where the Mede people-group live.

Anama huteno Asiria kini ne'mo'a Israeli vahera zamavareno Asiria vuno, mago'a ome zamatrege'za Hala kumate nemanizageno, mago'a Habori ti tvaonte Gosani kaziga nemanizageno, mago'a Midia vahe'ma nemaniza ranra kumatmimpi zamatrege'za mani'naze.

12 That happened because the Israelis did not obey Yahweh their God. They disobeyed the agreement that Yahweh had made with their ancestors, and all the laws that Moses, the man who served Yahweh [very well], had told them to obey. They would not obey those laws; they would not even listen to them.

Na'ankure ana maka knazama Israeli vahete'ma fore hu'neana, zamagra Ra Anumzana Anumza zamimofo nanekea amage nonte'za, Ra Anumzamo'ma zamagranema erihagerafi huvempa kema hu'neana rutagre'za, Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Mosese'ma zami'nea kasegenena zamefi huminagu, anara hu'naze.

13 After King Hezekiah had been ruling Judah for almost 14 years, [the army of] King Sennacherib of Assyria attacked all the cities in Judah that had walls around them. They [did not capture Jerusalem, but they] captured all the other cities.

Hagi Hezekaia'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'negeno 14nima hia kafufina, Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'a Juda vahera eme hahuzmanteno ana maka ranra kuma'ma hankave keginama hu'naza kumatmina erivagare'ne.

14 King Hezekiah sent a message to Sennacherib, while Sennacherib was in Lachish, saying “What I have done was wrong. Please [tell your soldiers to] stop attacking us. If you do that, I will pay you whatever you tell me to.” So the king of Assyria said that Hezekiah must pay to him (ten tons/9,000 kg.) of silver and (one ton/900 kg.) of gold.

Hagi Asiria kini ne' Senakeripi'ma Lakisi kumate'ma mani'negeno'a, Juda kini ne' Hezekai'a amanage huno kea atrentegeno vu'ne, Nagra hazenke hu'noe. E'ina hu'negu kagra natrenka rukrahe hunka vuo. Anama hnanke'na nagra nazano mizasenantoma hunka hanana zana amne kamigahue. Higeno Asiria kini ne'mo'a Hezekaiankura asamino, silva zagoa kna'amo'a 11tausen kilo hu'nesia nenaminka, golia kna'amo'a 1tausen kilonaza hu'nenia namigahane huno hunte'ne.

15 So Hezekiah gave to him all the silver that was in the temple and that was stored in the king’s palace.

Hagi anagema higeno'a, Ra Anumzamofo mono nompima silva zagoma me'neama'ane, kini ne'mofo nompima zagoma nentafima silva zagoma me'neama'a ana maka Hezekaia'a erivagareno ami'ne.

16 Hezekiah’s men also stripped the gold from the doors of the temple and the gold that he himself had put on the doorposts, and he sent all that gold to the king of Assyria.

Hagi Ra Anumzamofo mono nomofo kafaraminte'ene kafa zafare'ma, Hezekaia'ma anoma vazinte'nea golinena ana zupa, agra'a maka kanopevareno Asiria kini nera ami'ne.

17 But the king of Assyria sent a large army with some of his important officials from Lachish [city] to [persuade] King Hezekiah [to surrender]. When they arrived at Jerusalem, they stood alongside the aqueduct/channel in which water flows from the upper pool into Jerusalem, near the road to the field where the women wash clothes.

Hagi Asiria kini ne'ma Lakisi kumate'ma mani'neno, sondia vahete'ma ugagota hu'naza 3'a kva vahera huzmantege'za, tusi sondia vahe'zagane Hezekai'ma Jerusalemi mani'nerega vu'naze. Hagi ana vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi uhanatite'za, anaga kazigama me'nea tirutegati'ma kerima ase'za tima avre'za Jerusalemi kumapima urami'nazare vu'za ana tvaonte umani'naze. Ana tima avre'naza kerimo'a tavravere'ma penima fre'za tro'ma nehaza kumategama vu'nea kamofo tvaonte me'ne.

18 They sent a message requesting King Hezekiah to come to them, but the king sent three of his officials [to talk to them]. He sent Hilkiah’s son Eliakim, who supervised the palace; Shebna, the official secretary; and Asaph’s son Joah, who communicated the king’s messages to the people.

Hagi ana kini ne' Hezekaianku ke hazageno, agri nonte'ma kegavama nehia ne' Hilkia nemofo Eliakiminki, avontafe'ma kreno eri fatgoma nehia ne' Sebnanki, kini ne'mo'ma ana maka'zama hiazama avompima krenentea ne', Asapu nemofo Joanki huno huzmantege'za vu'naze.

19 One of Sennacherib’s important officials told them to take this message to Hezekiah: “This is what the king of Assyria, the great king, says: ‘What are you trusting in [to rescue you] [RHQ]?

Hagi ana 3'a Hezekaia eri'za vahe'ma uhanatizageno'a, Siria sondia vahete ugota kva ne' Rabsake'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Asiria kumate hanavenentake kini ne'mo'a amanage huno hie, Kagra ina hankveka'agu nentahinka nagri nagorga mani'nakura nosane hanki Hezekaiana ome asamiho.

20 You say that you have weapons to fight us, and some country promises [to help you], [and that will enable you to defeat us, ] but that is only talk [RHQ]. Who do you think will help you to rebel against my [soldiers from Assyria]?

Kagrama nehanana ha'ma hu antahintahine sondia vahe'enena knare hu'noe hunka nehananagi, kekamo'a nena'a forera osugahie. Ina vahe'mo kzahuku higenka, kagra nagri nagorga nomani'ne.

21 Listen to me! You are relying on [the army of] Egypt. But that is like [MET] using a broken reed for a walking stick on which you could lean. But it would pierce the hand of anyone who would lean on it! That is what the king of Egypt would be like for anyone who relied on him [for help].

Hagi menina kagra Isipi vahe'mo'za naza hanage'na hara hugahue hunka kavua nentane. Hianagi Isipi kumamo'a ketamo rufutagiankna hu'ne. E'ina hu'neankinka ana ketama erinkama azompama renka'ma vnanana kzampi kregahie. Hagi Isipi kini ne'mofo avu'ava'amo'a e'ina ketakna hu'neankino, agrama tamazama haniana e'ina hugahie.

22 But perhaps you will say to me, “No, we are (relying on/trusting in) Yahweh our God [to help us].” [I would reply, ] “Is he not the one whom you [insulted by] tearing down his shrines and altars and forcing everyone in Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah to worship only in front of the altar [in Jerusalem]?”’

Hianagi kagrama hunka, Israeli vahe'mota Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamofonte tamentinti nehunankino, taza hugahie hunka hugahananagi, tamaza osugahie. Na'ankure Hezekaiaga kagra mono'ma hunentaza kumatamine Kresramanama nevaza itaramina ana maka eri haviza huvaganerenka, Juda vahe'ene Jerusalemi vahekura zamasaminka, Jerusalemige eta magoke kresramna vu itama me'nereke monora eme hunteho hunka hu'nane.

23 So I suggest that you make a deal between you and my master/boss, the king of Assyria. I will give you 2,000 horses, but [I do not think that] you are able to find 2,000 of your men who can ride on them!

Hagi Hezekaiagagura Asiria kini nemo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Kagrama hu izo hunka mago krimpama hnanke'na, kagri sondia vahe'ma knare huno rama'ama mani'nesazana amne 2tauseni'a hosi afura kamisnuge'za agumpina mani'za vugahazanagi nagrama antahuana e'inahu avamentera sondia vaheka'a omani'naze.

24 You are expecting the king of Egypt to send chariots and men riding horses [to assist you]. But they certainly would not [RHQ] be able to resist/defeat even the most insignificant/unimportant official in the army of Assyria!

Hagi kagrama Isipi vahe'mokizmi karisine, hosi afu agumpima mani'za ha'ma nehaza sondia vaheku'ma antahinezaminana, inanka hunka tagripintira mago agi omaneno, amne sondia vahera hara hugateregahane?

25 Furthermore, (do you think that we have come to destroy Jerusalem without Yahweh’s help?/do not think that we have come to Jerusalem without Yahweh’s help.) [RHQ] It is Yahweh himself who told us to come here and destroy this land!”

Hagi mago'anena nagra navesite e'na hara eme hugante'na mopaka'a eri haviza hunakura ome'noe. Ra Anumzamo hunanteno vunka ha' ome huzmantenka mopazamia eri haviza huo huno hige'na e'noe.

26 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to the official from Assyria, “Sir, please speak to us in your Aramaic language, because we understand it. Do not speak to us in our Hebrew language, because the people who are standing on the wall will understand it [and be frightened].”

Hagi Hilkia nemofo Eliakimi'ma, Sebna'ma, Joasi'ma hu'za anankema nentahi'za, Asiria sondia vahete'ma ugota hu'nea sondia ne' Rabsakena amanage hu'za asmi'naze, tagra kagri eri'za vahe mani'nonanki Asiria vahe'mokizmi zamagerupinti tasamio. Na'ankure tagra ana tamagerura antahinone. Hagi Hibru tagerupintira ontasamio, kagrama anama hnanke'za kuma keginamofo agofetu'ma mani'naza vahe'mo'za hanana nanekea antahigahaze hu'za hu'naze.

27 But the official replied, “Do you think [RHQ] that my master sent me to say these things only to you and not to the people who are standing on the wall? [If you reject this message, ] the [people in this city] will soon need to eat their own dung and drink their own urine, just like you will, [because there will be nothing more for you to eat or drink].”

Hianagi ana sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Kvani'amo'ma hunantege'na e'noana tamagri 3'a nagate'ene kini tamimofontegagera ama nanekea atreramantege'na eri'na ome'noanki, anama kegina agofetu'ma mani'naza vahemo'zanena amne ananke'a antahighaze. Na'ankure ha'ma erita eme kumatmima avazagi kagisunke'za, kegina agofetu'ma mani'naza ne'za nesazazanku huge'za rifa'zami nene'za abire'za nenesageta, tamagranena ana zanke hugahaze.

28 Then the official stood up and shouted in the Hebrew language [to the people sitting on the wall]. He said, “Listen to this message from the great king, the king of Assyria. He says,

Hagi anante ana sondia vahete kva ne'mo'a otino Hibru vahe'mokizmi zamagerupinti kezatino amanage huno zamasami'ne, tamagra amarega tamagesa ante'neta hankave kini ne' Asiria kini ne'mofonkea antahiho!

29 ‘Do not allow Hezekiah to deceive you. He will not be able to rescue you from my power [MTY].

Hagi Asiria kini ne'mo'a amanage huno hu'ne, Tamagra atrenkeno Hezekaia'a reramatga osino, agra muhara osu'neankino nagri nazampintira tamagura ovazigahie.

30 Do not allow him to persuade you to rely on Yahweh, saying that Yahweh will rescue you, and that the army of Assyria will never capture this city!’

Hagi Hezekaia'ma huno Ra Anumzamo'a taza hanigeta knare huta manisunke'za Asiria vahe'mo'za Jerusalemi rankumara hara huragatere'za e'origahazanki Ra Anumzamofontega tamentinti hihoma huno tutu huramantesia kegura antahiomiho.

31 “Do not pay attention to what Hezekiah says! This is what the king of Assyria says: ‘Come out of the city and surrender to me. If you do that, I will arrange for each of you to drink the juice from your own grapevines, and to eat figs from your own trees, and to drink water from your own wells.

Hagi tamagra Hezekaia nanekea antahimita ha'mahu tamagesa ontahiho. Asiria kini ne'mo'a huno tamagrama natresage'nama kumatmima erisu'na, nagra amne tamatresugetma, waini hozatmifintira wainia tagita nenetma, fiki zafa ragatamia tagitma nenetma, tinkeri tamifintira tina afitma negahaze.

32 You will be able to do that until we come and take you to a land that is like your land—a land where there is grain to make bread and vineyards to [produce grapes for making] wine. It will be a land that has plenty of olive trees and honey. If you do what the king of Assyria commands, you will not die. You will continue to live. ‘Do not allow Hezekiah to persuade you to trust in Yahweh saying that he will rescue you!

Hagi ana hutma kofta kna'afi mani'nesnage'na, nagra eme tamavre'na vu'na tamagri mopagna mopama, witi ragane waini timo'ene, bretine waini hozamo'ene, olivi zafamo'ene tumerimo'ma tusizama hu'nea mopa ome tamihanugeta ofrita umanigahaze. E'ina hu'negu Hezekaiama huno, Ra Anumzamo tagu'vazigahie huno havigema nehia kagura ontahiho.

33 The gods that people of other nations worship have never rescued them from the power [MTY] of the king of Assyria [RHQ]!

Hagi mago kaziga mopare anumzamo'a vahe'a zamagu vazige'za Asiria kinia hara hu'za agaterenazafi? A'o mago kuma'mo'e huno anara osu'ne.

34 Why were the gods of Hamath and Arpad [cities] unable to rescue their people from the king of Assyria [RHQ]? What happened to the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, [towns that we completely destroyed and their gods disappeared] [RHQ]? Did any god rescue Samaria from my power?

Hagi Hamati rankuma'ma, Arpati rankuma'ma, Sefarvaimi rankuma'ma, Hena rankum'ma, Iva rankuma'enema, tagrama vuta ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumza zamimo'za iga mani'ne'za zamaza osu'naze. Hagi Sameria kuma'ma ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumzazmimo'a zamagura ovazi'ne.

35 No, none of the gods of the countries [that my army attacked] rescued their people [RHQ] from me! So why do you think that Yahweh will rescue you people of Jerusalem from my power [MTY]?’”

Hagi mago'a kuma'ma ha'ma huzmante'nonana anumza zamimo'a mago kumare huno zamaza hige'za hara huragateore'naze. E'ina hu'negu inankna huno Ra Anumzamo'a tamazahina tagrira hara huragatereta Jerusalemi kumara agura vazigahaze?

36 But the people [who were listening] stayed silent. No one said anything, because King Hezekiah had told them, “[When the official from Assyria talks to you, ] do not answer him.”

Hagi ana Asiria sondia vahete kva ne'mo'ma keagama hu'neana zamagra akohe'za mani'ne'za keaga'arera magore hu'za kenona'a osu'naze. Na'ankure kini ne' Hezekaia'a zamasamino, Keaga'arera mago kea nona osiho huno huzmante'nege'za anara hu'naze.

37 Then Eliakim the palace administrator and Shebna the court secretary and Joah the royal historian went back to Hezekiah with their clothes torn [because they were extremely distressed], and they told him what the official from Assyria had said.

Anante kini ne'mofo nonte kva nehia ne' Hilkia nemofo Eliakimiki, avontafe'ma kreno eri fatgoma nehia ne' Sebnaki, Asapu nemofo Joa'ma kini ne'mo'ma ana maka'zama hiazama avompima krenentea neki, hu'za kukenazamia tagoto tagutu hute'za kini ne' Hezekaiantera e'za Asiria sondia vahete kva ne'mo'ma hia nanekea eme asmi'naze.
