< 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.
Na rĩrĩ, thuutha wa maũndũ marĩa mothe Hezekia ekĩte na wĩhokeku, Senakeribu mũthamaki wa Ashuri agĩũka agĩtharĩkĩra Juda. Nake agĩthiũrũrũkĩria matũũra manene marĩa mairigĩirwo na thingo cia hinya eeciirĩtie kũmahoota matuĩke make.
2 And Hezekiah seeth that Sennacherib hath come, and his face [is] to the battle against Jerusalem,
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Hezekia onire atĩ Senakeribu nĩoka na atĩ muoroto wake warĩ kũhũũra Jerusalemu,
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,
magĩciira na anene ake o na atongoria a thigari cia ita ũrĩa mekũhingĩrĩria maaĩ kuuma ithima-inĩ cia nja ya itũũra inene, nao makĩmũteithia.
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?'
Kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene kĩa andũ gĩkĩũngana, nakĩo gĩkĩhinga ithima ciothe na tũrũũĩ tũrĩa twathereragĩra bũrũri-inĩ. Makĩũria atĩrĩ, “Athamaki a Ashuri-rĩ, megũka makore maaĩ maingĩ ũũ nĩkĩ?”
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.
Ningĩ akĩruta wĩra mũingĩ wa gũcookereria rũthingo kũrĩa guothe rwamomoretwo, na agĩaka mĩthiringo mĩraihu na igũrũ rĩa ruo. Agĩaka rũthingo rũngĩ nja ya rũu, nacio ngĩĩka iria ciarũgamĩtie Itũũra rĩa Daudi agĩcinyiitia. O na agĩthondeka indo cia mbaara nyingĩ, o hamwe na ngo.
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,
Agĩthuura anene a mbũtũ cia ita marũgamĩrĩre andũ, na agĩtũma mongane mbere yake nja-inĩ ya kĩhingo gĩa itũũra inene, nake akĩmomĩrĩria na ciugo ici:
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.
“Gĩai na hinya na mũũmĩrĩrie. Mũtigetigĩre, kana mũkue ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa mũthamaki wa Ashuri na mbũtũ nene ya ita ĩrĩa arĩ nayo, nĩgũkorwo tũrĩ na hinya mũnene mũno gũkĩra ũrĩa arĩ naguo.
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.
Kĩrĩa we arĩ nakĩo no hinya wa mwĩrĩ; no ithuĩ tũrĩ na Jehova Ngai witũ, na nĩegũtũteithia, na arũe mbaara ciitũ.” Nao andũ makĩũmĩrĩria kuumana na ciugo iria Hezekia mũthamaki wa Juda oigire.
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,
Thuutha ũcio, rĩrĩa Senakeribu mũthamaki wa Ashuri na mbũtũ ciake ciothe maathiũrũrũkĩirie Lakishi, agĩtũma anene ake Jerusalemu matwarĩre Hezekia mũthamaki wa Juda, o na andũ othe a Juda arĩa maarĩ kuo, ndũmĩrĩri ĩno:
10 'Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur, On what are ye trusting and abiding in the bulwark, in Jerusalem?
“Ũũ nĩguo Senakeribu mũthamaki wa Ashuri ekuuga: Mũrutĩte ũmĩrĩru wanyu kũ, nĩguo mũikare Jerusalemu, kũndũ gũthiũrũrũkĩrie?
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?
Rĩrĩa Hezekia ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Ngai witũ nĩegũtũhonokia guoko-inĩ kwa mũthamaki wa Suriata,’ nĩaramũhĩtithia, atũme mũkue nĩ ngʼaragu na nyoota.
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?
Githĩ Hezekia we mwene ndeheririe kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru kwa ngai ĩyo, o na akĩeheria igongona ciayo, na akĩĩra Juda na Jerusalemu atĩrĩ, ‘No nginya mũhooere kĩgongona-inĩ kĩmwe na mũcinagĩre magongona ho’?
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?
“Kaĩ mũtooĩ ũrĩa niĩ na maithe maitũ twĩkĩte andũ othe a mabũrũri marĩa mangĩ? Nacio ngai cia ndũrĩrĩ icio-rĩ, nĩciakĩhotire o na rĩ kũgitĩra bũrũri wao kuuma moko-inĩ makwa?
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?
Nĩ ngai ĩrĩkũ ya icio cia ndũrĩrĩ iria cianangirwo nĩ maithe makwa yahotire kũhonokia andũ ayo kuuma kũrĩ niĩ? Gwakĩhoteka atĩa ngai yanyu ĩmũgitĩre kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa?
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!'
Tondũ ũcio-rĩ, mũtigetĩkĩrie Hezekia amũheenie na amũhĩtithie ũguo. Mũtikamwĩtĩkie, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ ngai ya rũrĩrĩ kana ũthamaki o na ũrĩkũ ĩrĩ yahota kũhonokia andũ ayo kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa kana kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa maithe makwa! To ngai yanyu ĩngĩkĩhota kũmũhonokia kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa!”
16 And again have his servants spoken against Jehovah God, and against Hezekiah His servant,
Ndungata cia Senakeribu igĩthiĩ o na mbere kwaria mĩario ya gũũkĩrĩra Jehova Ngai o na gũũkĩrĩra ndungata yake Hezekia.
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.'
Ningĩ mũthamaki akĩandĩka marũa ma kũruma Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli akĩmũũkĩrĩra, akiuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa ngai cia ndũrĩrĩ cia mabũrũri marĩa mangĩ itaahotire kũhonokia andũ acio kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa-rĩ, noguo ngai ya Hezekia ĩtekũhota kũhonokia andũ ayo kuuma moko-inĩ makwa.”
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,
Ningĩ makĩanĩrĩra na Kĩhibirania kũrĩ andũ a Jerusalemu arĩa maarĩ rũthingo igũrũ, nĩguo mamamakie na mamekĩre guoya nĩgeetha menyiitĩre itũũra rĩu inene.
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.
Magĩkĩaria ũhoro wa Ngai wa Jerusalemu o ta ũrĩa maaragia ũhoro wa ngai cia andũ arĩa angĩ a thĩ, o iria ciathondeketwo na moko ma andũ.
20 And Hezekiah the king prayeth, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens,
Mũthamaki Hezekia na mũnabii Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu makĩhooya manĩrĩire magĩkaĩra ũrĩa ũrĩ igũrũ nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio.
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.
Nake Jehova agĩtũma mũraika ũrĩa waniinire thigari ciothe cia mbaara na atongoria na anene arĩa maarĩ kambĩ-inĩ ya mũthamaki wa Ashuri. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Senakeribu akĩinũka gwake aconokete. Na rĩrĩa aatoonyire hekarũ ya ngai yake-rĩ, ariũ ake amwe makĩmũtemanga na rũhiũ rwa njora.
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;
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova akĩhonokia Hezekia na andũ a Jerusalemu kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Senakeribu mũthamaki wa Ashuri, o na kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa andũ arĩa angĩ othe. Akĩmamenyerera mĩena-inĩ yothe.
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.
Andũ aingĩ magĩtwarĩra Jehova indo cia maruta kũu Jerusalemu, na magĩtwarĩra Hezekia mũthamaki wa Juda iheo cia goro. Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩyo agĩtuĩka mũndũ mũtĩĩku mũno nĩ ndũrĩrĩ ciothe.
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;
Matukũ-inĩ macio-rĩ, Hezekia akĩrwara hakuhĩ akue. Akĩhooya Jehova, nake Jehova akĩmũigua na akĩmuonia kĩmenyithia kĩa mwanya.
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;
No rĩrĩ, ngoro ya Hezekia ĩkĩiyũrwo nĩ mwĩtĩĩo na akĩaga kũrũmbũiya ũtugi ũcio oonetio; nĩ ũndũ ũcio mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova makĩmũkora o na magĩkora Juda na Jerusalemu.
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.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Hezekia akĩĩrira mehia ma mwĩtĩĩo wa ngoro yake, o ta ũrĩa andũ a Jerusalemu meekire, nĩ ũndũ ũcio mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova makĩaga kũmakinyĩrĩra matukũ-inĩ ma Hezekia.
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,
Hezekia aarĩ na ũtonga mũingĩ mũno o na agatĩĩka, nake agĩaka makũmbĩ ma kũiga betha na thahabu, o na ma tũhiga twake twa goro, na mahuti manungi wega, na ngo, na indo ciothe cia bata.
28 and storehouses for the increase of corn, and new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of cattle, and herds for stalls;
O na ningĩ agĩaka makũmbĩ ma kũiga ngano yagethwo, na ma kũiga ndibei ya mũhihano, na maguta; na agĩaka ciugũ nĩ ũndũ wa ngʼombe na ndũũru cia ngʼondu.
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.
Nĩaakire tũtũũra na akĩgĩa na ndũũru nene cia ngʼondu na cia ngʼombe, nĩgũkorwo Ngai nĩamũheete ũtonga mũnene.
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;
Hezekia nĩwe wahingĩrĩirie Gĩthima kĩa Gihoni mwena wa rũgongo, na akĩroria maaĩ makĩo mwena wa ithũĩro wa Itũũra Inene rĩa Daudi. Akĩgaacĩra maũndũ-inĩ marĩa mothe eekire.
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,
No rĩrĩa abarũthi maatũmirwo kũrĩ we nĩ aathani a Babuloni mamũũrie ũhoro wa rũũri rwa kĩmenyithia rũrĩa ruonekete bũrũri-inĩ-rĩ, Ngai akĩmũtiganĩria nĩguo amũgerie amenye maũndũ marĩa mothe maarĩ ngoro-inĩ yake.
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.
Maũndũ marĩa mangĩ makoniĩ wathani wa Hezekia na wĩrutĩri wake nĩmandĩkĩtwo kĩoneki-inĩ kĩa mũnabii Isaia mũrũ wa Amozu, thĩinĩ wa ibuku rĩa athamaki a Juda na Isiraeli.
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.
Hezekia akĩhurũka hamwe na maithe make na agĩthikwo kĩrĩma-inĩ kũrĩa mbĩrĩra cia andũ a rũciaro rwa Daudi ciarĩ. Nakuo Juda guothe na andũ a Jerusalemu makĩmũhe gĩtĩĩo aarĩkia gũkua. Nake mũriũ Manase agĩtuĩka mũthamaki ithenya rĩake.
