2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things and these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came and entered Judah. He camped to attack the fortified cities, which he intended to capture for himself.
Mgbe Hezekaya ji ikwesi ntụkwasị obi rụchaa ọrụ ndị a niile, Senakerib bụ eze Asịrịa, bịara nʼime Juda megide ya. Ọ nọchibidoro obodo niile nke e wusiri ike, na-eche na ọ ga-emeri ha nye onwe ya.
2 When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to fight against Jerusalem,
Mgbe o doro eze anya na Senakerib bịara ka o buo agha megide Jerusalem,
3 he consulted with his leaders and his powerful men to stop up the waters of the springs that were outside the city; they helped him do so.
Hezekaya mere ngwangwa kpọkọta ụmụ eze niile na ndịisi agha ya. Mgbe ha zukọtara, ha kpebiri iwuchi isi iyi ahụ niile na-esi nʼazụ obodo na-asọpụta. Ha mekwara otu a.
4 So many people gathered together and stopped up all the springs and the stream that was flowing through the middle of the land. They said, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find a lot of water?”
Ha kpọkọtara ọtụtụ ndị ọrụ, ndị gara gbochie isi iyi niile, mee ka mmiri gharakwa ịsọpụta nʼala ahụ niile. Ha mere nke a nʼihi na ha achọghị ka eze ndị Asịrịa na ndị agha ya nweta mmiri ha ga-aṅụ mgbe ha bịaruru ibuso Jerusalem agha.
5 Hezekiah took courage and built up all the wall that was broken down. He built the towers higher, and also the other wall outside. He also strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and he made large amounts of weapons and shields.
Hezekaya wuzikwara mgbidi obodo ahụ, wusie ha ike nʼebe niile ọ na-ada ada. O wukwara mgbidi ọzọ gburugburu mgbidi nke ochie ahụ. O wusikwara ebe siri ike nke Milo dị nʼobodo Devid ike, kpụọkwa ọtụtụ ngwa agha na ọta.
6 He placed military commanders over the people. He gathered them together to him in the broad place at the city gate and spoke encouragingly to them. He said,
O tinyere ndị agha niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ nʼokpuru ndịisi agha na-achị ha, mee ka ha niile zukọta nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke obodo. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ gwa ha okwu sị ha,
7 “Be strong and of good courage. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and all the army that is with him, for someone is with us who is greater than those with him.
“Dịrịnụ ike, unu adakwala mba. Unu atụla ụjọ maọbụ daa mba nʼihi eze Asịrịa na usuu ndị agha ya, nʼihi na onye dịnyeere anyị ka ya ike.
8 With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is Yahweh, our God, to help us, and to fight our battles.” Then the people comforted themselves with the words of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
Ihe nọnyere ya bụ ogwe aka nke anụ ahụ, ma nke nọnyere anyị bụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, inyere anyị aka na ibu agha anyị niile.” Okwu a, nke Hezekaya bụ eze Juda kwuru, mere ka ndị Juda nwee agbamume.
9 After this, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sent his servants to Jerusalem (now he was in front of Lachish, and all his army was with him), to Hezekiah, king of Judah, and to all of Judah who were in Jerusalem. He said,
Mgbe e mesiri, mgbe Senakerib eze Asịrịa na ndị agha ya niile nọchibidoro Lakish, o zipụrụ ndị ọrụ ya gaa Jerusalem, ka ha jiri ozi a gaa maka Hezekaya, bụ eze Juda na ndị Juda niile ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ:
10 “This is what Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says: What are you relying on in order to endure a siege in Jerusalem?
“Nke a bụ ihe Senakerib, bụ eze Asịrịa sịrị: Ọ bụ na gịnị ka ntụkwasị obi gị dabere, mere i ji nọgidesie ike na Jerusalem nʼọnọdụ nnọchibido a?
11 Is not Hezekiah misleading you, that he may give you over to die by famine and by thirst, when he tells you, 'Yahweh our God will rescue us from the hand of the king of Assyria'?
Mgbe Hezekaya na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị ga-azọpụta anyị site nʼaka eze Asịrịa,’ ọ bụ aghụghọ ka ọ na-aghọ unu. Ọ na-eduhie unu, na-achọ ka unu nwụọ nʼagụụ nakwa akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ.
12 Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, 'On one altar you must worship, and on it you must burn your sacrifices'?
Ọ bụghị Hezekaya na onwe ya wezugara ebe ya niile dị elu na ebe ịchụ aja ya niile, na-asị Juda na Jerusalem, ‘Unu aghaghị ịkpọ isiala nʼotu ebe ịchụ aja, chụọkwa aja nʼelu ya’?
13 Do you not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the peoples of the other lands? Were the gods of the peoples of the surrounding lands able in any way to rescue their land from my power?
“Unu amaghị ihe mụ na nna m ha bụ ndị bu m ụzọ chịa mere ndị ala ọzọ? Chi niile nke mba ndị ahụ niile ha nwere ike zọpụta ala ha site nʼaka m?
14 Among all the gods of those nations that my ancestors completely destroyed, was there any god who could rescue his people out of my hand? Why should your God be able to rescue you from my power?
Ọ bụ onye nʼetiti chi niile nke mba ndị a niile, bụ ndị nna nna m ha bibiri, napụtarala ndị ya site nʼaka m? Aṅaa ka chi unu ga-esi zọpụta unu site nʼaka m?
15 Now do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you in this way. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to rescue his people out of my hand, or out of the hand of my ancestors. How much less will your God rescue you from my hand?”
Unu ekwela ka Hezekaya duhie unu, rafuokwa unu otu a. Unu ekwenyekwarala ya, nʼihi na ọ dịghị chi ọbụla maọbụ nke mba ọbụla maọbụ alaeze ọbụla pụrụ ịnapụta ndị ya site nʼaka m maọbụ nʼaka nna m ha. Ka ọ bụrụzie chi unu ga-abụ nke ga-anapụta unu site nʼaka m!”
16 Sennacherib's servants spoke even more against Yahweh God and against his servant Hezekiah.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka ndị ozi Senakerib ahụ ji leda Onyenwe anyị Chineke, na Hezekaya anya kwuokwa okwu mkparị megide ha.
17 Sennacherib also wrote letters in order to mock Yahweh, the God of Israel, and to speak against him. He said, “As the gods of the nations of the lands have not rescued their people out of my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not rescue his people out of my hand.”
Emesịa, Senakerib dekwara akwụkwọ mkparị ndị ọzọ, nke ọ nọ nʼime ya kwuluo Onyenwe anyị Chineke Izrel, na-asị, “Dịka chi ndị ala ọzọ niile enweghị ike zọpụta ndị ha site nʼaka m, otu a kwa, Chineke nke Hezekaya apụghịkwa ịzọpụta ndị ya site nʼaka m.”
18 They cried out in the language of the Jews to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and trouble them, in order that they might capture the city.
Mgbe ahụ, ha ji oke olu kpọkuo ndị Jerusalem, bụ ndị nọ na mgbidi ahụ nʼasụsụ Hibru, imenye ha egwu nakwa ime ka ụjọ tụọ ha, ka ha nwee ike were obodo ahụ.
19 They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken of the gods of the other peoples of the earth, which are merely the work of men's hands.
Ha kwuru okwu ọjọọ dị iche iche banyere Chineke nke Jerusalem, dịka ha si kwuo megide chi niile nke ndị ọzọ dị nʼụwa, bụ ọrụ aka mmadụ.
20 Hezekiah, the king, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed because of this matter and he cried out to heaven.
Mgbe ahụ, Hezekaya bụ eze, na Aịzaya onye amụma, nwa Emọz, kpọkuru Chineke nke eluigwe nʼekpere.
21 Yahweh sent an angel, who killed the fighting men, the commanders, and the officers of the king in the camp. So Sennacherib returned to his own land with shame on his face. When he had gone into the house of his god, some of his own children killed him there with the sword.
Onyenwe anyị zipụrụ otu mmụọ ozi, onye gara tigbuo ndị agha niile bụ dike, ndị ọchịagha na ndịisi niile nọ nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu nke eze Asịrịa. Ya mere, Senakerib ji oke ihere laghachi nʼala ya. Ma mgbe ọ gara nʼụlọ chi ya, ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ ya ndị ikom, ndị bụ anụ ahụ na ọbara ya, were mma agha gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ.
22 In this way, Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave them rest on every side.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị si zọpụta Hezekaya na ndị Jerusalem, site nʼaka Senakerib eze Asịrịa, na sitekwa nʼaka ndị iro ya ndị ọzọ. Udo dịkwara nʼala ya niile.
23 Many were bringing offerings to Yahweh in Jerusalem, and precious gifts to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was lifted up in the eyes of all nations from that time forward.
Site nʼoge ahụ, Hezekaya ghọrọ eze a maara aha ya na mba niile dị Juda gburugburu. Ọtụtụ mmadụ bidokwara ibutere Onyenwe anyị onyinye dị iche iche na Jerusalem. Hezekaya nʼonwe ya nwetakwara onyinye nke ya.
24 In those days Hezekiah was sick to the point of dying. He prayed to Yahweh, who spoke to him and gave him a sign that he would be healed.
Ma nʼoge ahụ, Hezekaya rịara ọrịa, ruo na ọ gaara anwụ. Ma o kpere ekpere rịọ Onyenwe anyị ka ọ gwọọ ya. Ọ zara ekpere ya, gosikwa ya ihe ịrịbama dị ebube.
25 But Hezekiah did not pay back Yahweh for the help given to him, for his heart was lifted up. So anger came on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
Ma Hezekaya ejighị obi ya niile kelee Chineke ekele nʼihi na nganga batara ya nʼobi. Nke a mere ka iwe wee Onyenwe anyị megide ya na ndị Jerusalem na Juda.
26 Nevertheless, Hezekiah later humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that Yahweh's anger did not come on them during Hezekiah's days.
Mgbe Hezekaya na ndị Jerusalem wedara onwe ha nʼala, iwe Onyenwe anyị dajụrụ nʼebe ha nọ, ọ takwaghị ha ahụhụ nʼoge niile ahụ Hezekaya dị ndụ.
27 Hezekiah had very many riches and much honor. He provided himself with storerooms for silver, gold, precious stones, and for spices, as well as for shields and for all kinds of valuable objects.
Ya mere, Hezekaya ghọrọ eze bara ọgaranya, bụrụkwa onye a na-asọpụrụ. O wuru ụlọakụ maka ichebe ọlaọcha ya na ọlaedo, na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa, na ụda na-esi isi ụtọ, na ọta na efere ọlaedo ya.
28 He also had storehouses for the harvest of grain, new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of animals. He also had flocks in their pens.
O wukwara ọtụtụ ụlọ ọzọ ebe a na-echebe ọka, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ, na mmanụ oliv. O wukwara ụlọ anụmanụ maka ọtụtụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ya.
29 In addition, he provided himself with cities and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God had given him very much wealth.
O wukwara ọtụtụ obodo nta dị iche iche, nweekwa ọtụtụ igwe anụ ụlọ, na igwe ehi, nʼihi na Chineke mere ka ọ baa ụba.
30 It was this same Hezekiah who also stopped up the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and who brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. Hezekiah succeeded in all his projects.
Hezekaya bụkwa onye gbochiri mmiri iyi Gaihọn nʼakụkụ elu elu ya, gwuo olulu ebe mmiri ahụ si sọgharịa na-asọbata nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke obodo Devid. Ihe niile o mere gaara ya nke ọma.
31 However, in the matter of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to ask questions of those who knew, about the miraculous sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to test him, and to know all that was in his heart.
Ma mgbe ndị ozi nke ndị na-achị Babilọn zitere ka ha jụọ ya banyere ihe ebube ahụ nke mere nʼala ahụ, Chineke hapụrụ ya i nwalee ya, ka ọ mara ihe niile dị ya nʼobi.
32 As for the other matters concerning Hezekiah, including his actions of covenant loyalty, you can see that they are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Hezekaya, na ọrụ ebere niile nke ọ rụrụ ka edere nʼakwụkwọ ọhụ onye amụma bụ Aịzaya, nwa Emọz, dịkwa nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda na Izrel niile.
33 Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him on the hill of the tombs of the descendants of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Manasseh his son became king in his place.
Hezekaya sooro ndị nna nna ya dinaa nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼugwu nʼebe ili ndị nna nna Devid dị. Ndị Juda niile na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem kwanyere ya ugwu nʼọnwụ ya. Manase nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
