2 Kings 18
1 Now in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
In yac aktolu ke pacl Hoshea wen natul Elah el tokosra lun Israel, Hezekiah wen natul Ahaz, el tokosrala lun Judah
2 He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
ke el yac longoul limekosr, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac longoul eu. Nina kial pa Abijah, acn natul Zechariah.
3 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, according to all that David his father had done.
Hezekiah el oru ma su akinsewowoye LEUM GOD, oana ouiya lal Tokosra David, papa matu tumal.
4 He removed the high places, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children of Israel burnt incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
El kunausla acn in alu lun mwet pegan, kunausya sru eot, ac pakiya ma sruloala ke god mutan Asherah. El oayapa kotkoteya serpent bronze soko su pangpang Nehushtan ma Moses el tuh orala. Mwet Israel elos srakna akosak mwe keng in akfulatye serpent soko inge nwe in pacl sac.
5 He trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him amongst all the kings of Judah, nor amongst them that were before him.
Hezekiah el lulalfongi LEUM GOD lun Israel. Wangin tokosra lun mwet Judah meet lukel ku tok lukel oana el.
6 For he joined with the LORD. He didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.
El inse pwaye nu sin LEUM GOD, ac wangin pacl el tia aksol. El arulana karinganang ma sap nukewa su LEUM GOD El sang nu sel Moses.
7 The LORD was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
Ouinge LEUM GOD El welul, ac wo ouiyal in ma nukewa el oru. El tuyak lain Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, ac tiana eisalang nu sel.
8 He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
El kutangla mwet Philistia ac utyak eisla ma lalos in acn srisrik nwe ke siti lulap, weang acn Gaza ac acn ma raunela.
9 In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.
In yac akakosr ke pacl Hezekiah el tokosra — su yac akitkosr ma Hoshea el leumi acn Israel — Tokosra Fulat Shalmaneser lun Assyria el utyak mweuni acn Israel ac kuhlusya Samaria.
10 At the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
Ke yac aktolu ma kuhlusyuki acn we, Samaria ikori. Ma inge sikyak ke yac akonkosr ma Hezekiah el tokosra, ac yac akeu ma Hoshea el tokosra.
11 The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el usla mwet Israel in mwet sruoh in acn Assyria, ac oakiya kutu selos in siti Halah, ac kutu apkuran nu ke Infacl Habor in acn Gozan, ac kutu in siti lun Media.
12 because they didn’t obey the LORD their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear it or do it.
Acn Samaria ikori, mweyen mwet Israel elos tia akos LEUM GOD lalos, a elos kunausla wulela ma El orala yorolos, ac seakos ma sap nukewa ma Moses mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD el tuh sang nu selos. Elos tiana lungse porongo, ac tiana akos.
13 Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.
In yac aksingoul akosr ke Tokosra Hezekiah el leum, Tokosra Fulat Sennacherib lun Assyria el mweuni siti ma potiyukyak lun Judah ac eisla acn inge.
14 Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
Hezekiah el sapla nu sel Sennacherib su muta Lachish, ac fahk, “Tafongla ma nga oru. Nunak munas, tui ac tia mweuniyu, ac nga ac fah akfalye lupa na kom fahk nga in moli.” Ac Tokosra Fulat el topuk mu Hezekiah elan supwala longoul tausin paun in silver ac luo tausin paun in gold.
15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house.
Na Hezekiah el supwala silver nukewa ma oan in Tempul ac ma oan in nien filma saok inkul sin tokosra.
16 At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the LORD’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
El oayapa takusla gold nukewa ma sang yunela srungul ke Tempul, ac gold ma el sifacna sang nawela sukan srungul, ac supwala ma inge nufon nu sel Sennacherib.
17 The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
Na Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el supwala un mwet mweun na yohk se lal liki acn Lachish nu Jerusalem in tuh mweunel Hezekiah, su kolyuk sin mwet tolu ma fulat emeet sin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal. Ke elos sun acn Jerusalem elos tui ke innek soko ma mwet owo nuknuk orekma we sisken na laf soko ma use kof ke lulu se ma oan lucng ah.
18 When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them.
Na elos sapla solal Tokosra Hezekiah ac tolu sin mwet leum lal, ac som in osun nu selos. Elos inge pa Eliakim, wen natul Hilkiah su mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim ke inkul lun tokosra; ac Joah wen natul Asaph, su liyaung ma simusla.
19 Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
Sie sin mwet fulat lun acn Assyria inge fahkang nu selos lah Tokosra Fulat el ke etu lah mea Tokosra Hezekiah el kukin uh.
20 You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
El fahk ouinge, “Ku kom nunku mu kas uh ku in sang lain ku lulap ac pisrla ke mweun? Su kom lulalfongi mu ac kasrekom lain acn Assyria?
21 Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
Kom lulalfongi mu Egypt ac kasrekom, tuh fin ouinge, ac oana ke kom sikalkin loa soko — ac kaptelik twe kanteya poum. Pa ingan luman tokosra Egypt nu sin mwet su tupan kasru sel uh.”
22 But if you tell me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
Ac mwet leum sac lun Assyria tafwela ac fahk, “Ku kom ac fahk nu sik lah kom ac lulalfongi na LEUM GOD lom an? Nien alu ac loang lun LEUM GOD pa Hezekiah el kunausla ke el tuh fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem elos in alu ke loang se in Jerusalem ah mukena.
23 Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
Nga ac oru sie pwapa nu sum ke inen Tokosra Fulat. Nga ac sot nu sum tausin luo ke horse kom fin ku in konauk pisen mwet ma ac fal in kasrusr fac!
24 How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Finne mwet ma srik emeet wal la sin mwet leum lun Assyria, kom tia fal in lain, sruk kom lulalfongi mu mwet Egypt ac supwama chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse nu sum!
25 Have I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? the LORD said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
Ya kom nunku mu nga mweuni facl sum an ac kunausla sayen kasru sin LEUM GOD? LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk nu sik mu ngan mweuni ac kunausla acn uh.”
26 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
Na Eliakim, Shebna, ac Joah fahk nu sin mwet leum sac, “Kaskas nu sesr ke kas Aramaic. Kut kalem kac. Nimet kas Hebrew, mweyen mwet nukewa fin pot uh elos lohng pac ma kom fahk an.”
27 But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?”
Ac el topuk, “Ku komtal nunku mu komtal na ac tokosra mukena pa Tokosra Fulat el supweyume ngan fahk ma inge nu se uh? Mo, nga tuku in fahk pac nu sin mwet ma muta fin pot an, su ac fah kang fohkoltal ac nim kifwaltal, oana komtal.”
28 Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Na mwet leum se inge tuyak ac sala ke kas Hebrew ac fahk, “Lohng ma Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el fahk nu sumtal inge.
29 The king says, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
El mu komtal in taran Hezekiah elan tia kiapwekomtalla. Hezekiah el tia ku in molikomtalla.
30 Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, “The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
Ac nimet lela elan kifus komtal in filiya lulalfongi lomtal in LEUM GOD, mu El ac molikomtalla ac tulokinya mwet mweun lasr uh in tia sruokya siti sumtal an.
31 Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from his own cistern;
Nimet lohng ma Hezekiah el fahk. Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el sapkin nu sumtal in illa liki siti an ac srasrapo nu sel. Na el ac fah lela tuh kais sie sumtal in mongo ke fokin ima grape lal ac fokinsak fig sunal, ac nim kof ke luf in kof lal sifacna,
32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “The LORD will deliver us.”
nwe ke Tokosra Fulat el sifilpa oakikomtal uh in sie facl su apkuran in oana facl sumtal, yen ma oasr ima in grape we in orek wain, ac oasr pac wheat in orek bread — sie facl oasr olive, ac oil in olive ac honey we. Komtal fin oru ma el sapkin inge komtal ac tia misa, a komtal ac moulna. Nimet lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekomtal mu LEUM GOD El ac molikomtalla.
33 Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Ku oasr god lun kutena facl ma molela facl selos liki Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
God lun Hamath ac Arpad eltal oasr ya inge? Ac pia god lun Sepharvaim, Hena, ac Ivvah? Ku oasr sie nu molela acn Samaria?
35 Who are they amongst all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”
Pia pacl ma god lun facl nukewa inge molela facl selos liki Tokosra Fulat lasr uh? Na mea oru komtal nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac ku in molela Jerusalem uh?”
36 But the people stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
Mwet uh mihselik, oana ma Tokosra Hezekiah el tuh fahk nu selos, ac elos tiana fahkla sie kas.
37 Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.
Na Eliakim, Shebna, ac Joah eltal asor ac seya nuknuk laltal, ac eltal folokla ac fahkang nu sin tokosra ma mwet leum se lun Assyria el fahk ac.
