2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things and this truth, come hath Sennacherib king of Asshur, yea, he cometh in to Judah, and encampeth against the cities of the bulwarks, and saith to rend them unto himself.
Le nu siwo Hezekia wɔ anukwaretɔe vɔ megbe la, Asiria fia, Senakerib ho va dze Yuda dzi. Eɖe to ɖe du siwo woglã kple susu be, yeaxɔ wo na ye ɖokui.
2 And Hezekiah seeth that Sennacherib hath come, and his face [is] to the battle against Jerusalem,
Esi eme kɔ ƒãa be Fia Senakerib ɖo ta me be yeaho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu la,
3 and he taketh counsel with his heads and his mighty ones, to stop the waters of the fountains that [are] at the outside of the city — and they help him,
Hezekia wɔ takpekpe kple eƒe fiaviŋutsuwo kple eƒe aɖaŋudelawo. Woɖo be yewoaxe vudo siwo le dua godo.
4 and much people are gathered, and they stop all the fountains and the brook that is rushing into the midst of the land, saying, 'Why do the kings of Asshur come, and have found much water?'
Wodi dɔwɔla geɖewo woxe vudoawo katã kple tɔsisi si si to agblewo me. Wobia be, “Nu ka ta Asiria fia ava eye wòakpɔ tsi ano?”
5 And he strengtheneth himself, and buildeth the whole of the wall that is broken, and causeth [it] to ascend unto the towers, and at the outside of the wall another, and strengtheneth Millo, [in] the city of David, and maketh darts in abundance, and shields.
Emegbe la, Hezekia gbugbɔ teƒe siwo duawo ƒe gliwo gbã le la tu hegaglã teƒe bubuwo eye wògaɖo gli bubu ɖe gbãtɔ godo. Egbugbɔ Milo mɔ la glã le David ƒe Du la me eye wòwɔ aʋawɔnu kple akpoxɔnu geɖewo.
6 And he putteth heads of war over the people, and gathereth them unto him, unto the broad place of a gate of the city, and speaketh unto their heart, saying,
Eƒo aʋakɔ aɖe nu ƒu eye wòɖo asrafomegãwo ɖe wo nu, heɖo wo ɖe gbadzaƒe si le dua ŋgɔ. Eƒo nu, de dzi ƒo na wo kple nya siawo be,
7 'Be strong and courageous, be not afraid, nor be cast down from the face of the king of Asshur, and from the face of all the multitude that [is] with him, for with us [are] more than with him.
“Misẽ ŋu, miawɔ kalẽ eye migavɔ̃ Asiria fia la alo eƒe aʋakɔ gã la o elabena ame aɖe le mía dzi si kpɔ ŋusẽ wui sãa!
8 With him [is] an arm of flesh, and with us [is] Jehovah our God, to help us, and to fight our battles;' and the people are supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
Aʋakɔ gã aɖe le esi, eƒe aʋawɔlawo katã nye amegbetɔwo ko, ke míawo ya la, Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, le mía dzi eye wòawɔ míaƒe aʋa na mí.”
9 After this hath Sennacherib king of Asshur sent his servants to Jerusalem — and he [is] by Lachish, and all his power with him — against Hezekiah king of Judah, and against all Judah, who [are] in Jerusalem, saying,
Le nu siawo megbe la Asiria fia Senakerib kple aʋakɔwo ɖe to ɖe Lakis du la, eye wòdɔ amewo ɖa be woagblɔ na Yuda fia Hezekia kple Yudatɔ siwo katã le afi ma be,
10 'Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur, On what are ye trusting and abiding in the bulwark, in Jerusalem?
“Asiria fia Senakerib le biabiam be: Nu ka ŋu miele dzi ɖom ɖo be yewoate ŋu atsi agbe esi meɖe to ɖe Yerusalem dua?
11 'Is not Hezekiah persuading you, to give you up to die by famine, and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God doth deliver us from the hand of the king of Asshur?
Fia Hezekia le mia flum be, miawu mia ɖokuiwo le afi ma, dɔ kple tsikɔ awu mi miaku, le esime wòle ŋugbe dom na mi be, ‘Yehowa, mía Mawu la aɖe mí tso Asiria fia sime!’
12 Hath not Hezekiah himself turned aside His high places, and His altars, and speaketh to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar ye bow yourselves, and on it ye make perfume?
Ɖe mienya be Fia Hezekia tututue nye ame si ɖe eƒe nuxeƒewo kple vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖa hegblɔ na Yuda kple Yerusalem be, ‘Mide ta agu ɖe vɔsamlekpui ɖeka ma si le gbedoxɔ la me ŋu eye miado dzudzɔ le eya ɖeɖe ko dzi’ oa?
13 'Do ye not know what I have done — I and my fathers — to all peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand?
“Ɖe mienya nu si mía kple fofonyewo míewɔ anyigbadzidukɔwo katã oa? Dukɔ mawo ƒe mawuwo mete ŋu wɔ naneke heɖe woƒe anyigbawo o.
14 Who among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers have devoted to destruction [is] he who hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God is able to deliver you out of my hand?
Dukɔ siawo ƒe mawuwo dometɔ kae te ŋu ɖe eƒe dukɔ tso nye asi me? Nu kae na miebu be miaƒe Mawu ya ate ŋu aɖe mi?
15 'And, now, let not Hezekiah lift you up, nor persuade you thus, nor give credence to him, for no god of any nation and kingdom is able to deliver his people from my hand, and from the hand of my fathers: also, surely your God doth not deliver you from my hand!'
Migana Hezekia nana miazu abunɛtɔwo o! Migaxɔ edzi se o! Megale egblɔm be, dukɔ aɖeke ƒe mawu mete ŋu ɖe eƒe amewo tso nye asi me loo alo tso tɔgbuinyewo ƒe asi me kpɔ o. Aleke miaƒe mawu ya ate ŋui?”
16 And again have his servants spoken against Jehovah God, and against Hezekiah His servant,
Ale ame dɔdɔ la ɖe alɔme le Yehowa Mawu kple Mawu ƒe dɔla Hezekia ŋu eye wòdzu wo.
17 and letters he hath written to give reproach to Jehovah, God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, 'As the gods of the nations of the lands that have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah doth not deliver His people from my hand.'
Fia Senakerib ŋlɔ agbalẽ hã eye wòdo vlo Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la. Eŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ la me be, “Dukɔ bubuwo katã ƒe mawuwo mete ŋu ɖe woƒe amewo tso nye asi me o, eye Hezekia ƒe Mawu hã mate ŋui o.”
18 And they call with a great voice [in] Jewish, against the people of Jerusalem who [are] on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them, that they may capture the city,
Dɔla siwo tsɔ agbalẽa vɛ la do ɣli gblɔ ŋɔdzidonamenyawo le Yuda gbe me na ame siwo ƒo ƒu ɖe dua ƒe gliwo dzi eye wodi be yewoado vɔvɔ̃ na wo, ana dzi naɖe le wo ƒo.
19 and they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land — work of the hands of man.
Dɔla siawo ƒo nu tso Yerusalem ƒe Mawu la ŋu abe ɖe wòle abe trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe mawu, siwo nye legba siwo amegbetɔ wɔ la dometɔ ɖeka ene!
20 And Hezekiah the king prayeth, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens,
Ale Fia Hezekia kple Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi, do ɣli, ɖe kuku na Mawu le dziƒo
21 and Jehovah sendeth a messenger, and cutteth off every mighty one of valour — both leader and head — in the camp of the king of Asshur, and he turneth back with shame of face to his land, and entereth the house of his god, and those coming out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword.
eye Yehowa ɖo dɔla aɖe ɖa wòva tsrɔ̃ Asiria fia ƒe aʋakɔ la kple eƒe asrafomegãwo kple aʋafiawo katã eye Fia Senakerib trɔ yi aƒe kple ŋukpe gã aɖe. Esi wòva ɖo eƒe mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me la, eya ŋutɔ via ŋutsuwo va dzae kple yi ɖe afi ma.
22 And Jehovah saveth Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur, and from the hand of all, and He leadeth them round about;
Ale Yehowa ɖe Fia Hezekia kple Yerusalemtɔwo eye azɔ la, ŋutifafa nɔ fiaɖuƒe blibo la me.
23 and many are bringing in an offering to Jehovah, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this.
Tso ɣe ma ɣi dzi la, dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo la, bua Hezekia vevie eye nunana geɖewo na Yehowa kple nunana tɔxɛwo na Hezekia hã va ɖo Yerusalem.
24 In those days hath Hezekiah been sick even unto death, and he prayeth unto Jehovah, and He speaketh to him, and a wonder hath appointed for him;
Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Hezekia dze dɔ vevie eye wòɖo kudo nu. Edo gbe ɖa na Yehowa, ame si ɖo gbedodoɖa la ŋu nɛ hena nukudzesi aɖee.
25 and Hezekiah hath not returned according to the deed [done] unto him, for his heart hath been lofty, and there is wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem;
Ke dada nɔ Hezekia ƒe dzi me eye metsɔ ɖeke le dɔmenyo si Yehowa wɔ nɛ la me o eya ta Yehowa ƒe dziku nɔ eya amea, Yuda kple Yerusalem dzi.
26 and Hezekiah is humbled for the loftiness of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of Jehovah hath not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.
Tete dada si nɔ Hezekia ƒe dzi me la vee eye wòtrɔ dzi me. Yerusalem nɔlawo hã wɔ nenema ke, eya ta Yehowa ƒe dziku la mebi ɖe wo ŋu le Hezekia ƒe ŋkekewo me o.
27 And Hezekiah hath riches and honour very much, and treasures he hath made to himself of silver, and of gold, and of precious stone, and of spices, and of shields, and of all [kinds] of desirable vessels,
Ale Hezekia zu kesinɔtɔ kple bubume gã aɖe, etu nudzraɖoƒewo na eƒe klosalo, sika kple kpe xɔasiwo, atike ʋeʋĩwo, akpoxɔnuwo kple sikatrewo.
28 and storehouses for the increase of corn, and new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and herds for stalls;
Etu avawo be yeadzra bli, wain yeye kple ami ɖo ɖe wo me eye wògatu lãkpowo hã.
29 and cities he hath made for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God hath given to him very much substance.
Etso kɔƒewo eye lãha gãwo sɔ gbɔ ɖe esi elabena Mawu na kesinɔnu geɖe ŋutɔ woe.
30 And Hezekiah himself hath stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and directeth them beneath to the west of the city of David, and Hezekiah prospereth in all his work;
Exe Gihon tɔsisi la ƒe Dzigbetɔʋu la ƒe nugbɔ eye wòɖe tɔʋu aɖe na tsi la be wòatsa ayi David ƒe Du la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo le Yerusalem.
31 and so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those sending unto him to inquire of the wonder that hath been in the land, God hath left him to try him, to know all in his heart,
Ke esi ame dɔdɔwo tso Babilonia va be, yewoabia nu tso ale si wòhaya nukutɔe ŋu la, Mawu gbugbɔ le eyome sẽe be yeadoe akpɔ eye yeanya ame si tɔgbi tututu wònye.
32 And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah, and his kind acts, lo, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, on the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Woŋlɔ Hezekia ŋutinya mamlɛa kple dɔ nyui siwo katã wòwɔ la ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi ƒe agbalẽ kple Yuda fiawo kple Israel fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
33 And Hezekiah lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the uppermost of the graves of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done honour to him at his death, and reign doth Manasseh his son in his stead.
Esi Hezekia ku la, woɖii ɖe fia David ƒe dzidzimeviwo wo ƒe yɔdowo gbɔ le togbɛ la ŋu. Yuda kple Yerusalem blibo la de bubu eŋu le eƒe ku me. Via ŋutsu Manase zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
