2 Kings 18

1 And it cometh to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, reigned hath Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah;

E higa mar adek mar loch Hoshea wuod Ela ruodh Israel, Hezekia wuod Ahaz ruodh Juda nodoko ruoth.

2 a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abi daughter of Zechariah.

Ne en ja-higni piero ariyo gabich kane obedo ruoth, kendo norito piny kuom higni piero ariyo gochiko, kodak Jerusalem. Min mare ne nyinge Abija nyar Zekaria.

3 And he doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father did,

Notimo gima kare e nyim wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye, mana kaka kwar mare Daudi notimo.

4 he hath turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cut down the shrine, and beaten down the brazen serpent that Moses made, for unto these days were the sons of Israel making perfume to it, and he calleth it 'a piece of brass.'

Nomuko kuonde motingʼore malo mag lemo, mi otoyo kite milamo kendo ongʼado sirni milamo mag Ashera. Ne otoyo matindo tindo thuond mula mane Musa oloso, nikech nyaka chop ndalono jo-Israel nosebedo kawangʼo ne ubani (ne iluonge ni Nehushtan).

5 In Jehovah, God of Israel, he hath trusted, and after him there hath not been like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] who were before him;

Hezekia ne ogeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasach Israel. Ne onge ngʼama osechalo kode e dier ruodhi duto mag Juda, bedni negisebedo e loch chon kata bangʼe.

6 and he cleaveth to Jehovah, he hath not turned aside from after Him, and keepeth His commands that Jehovah commanded Moses.

Ne osiko kogeno kuom Jehova Nyasaye mi ok noweyo luwe; kendo ne orito chike mane Jehova Nyasaye omiyo Musa.

7 And Jehovah hath been with him, in every place where he goeth out he acteth wisely, and he rebelleth against the king of Asshur, and hath not served him;

Jehova Nyasaye ne ni kode, kendo ne odhi maber e gik moko duto mane otimo. Nongʼanyone ruodh Asuria kendo ne ok otiyone.

8 he hath smitten the Philistines unto Gaza, and its borders, from a tower of watchers unto the fenced city.

Noloyo jo-Filistia chakre kuonde ngʼicho motingʼore gi malo nyaka dala maduongʼ mochiel motegno, mochopo nyaka Gaza gi mier mokiewo kode.

9 And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of king Hezekiah — it [is] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel — come up hath Shalmaneser king of Asshur against Samaria, and layeth siege to it,

E higa mar angʼwen mar loch Hezekia, ma en higa mar abiriyo mar Hoshea wuod Ela ruodh Israel, Shalmaneser ruodh Asuria nomonjo Samaria kendo jolweny nolwore.

10 and they capture it at the end of three years; in the sixth year of Hezekiah — it [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel — hath Samaria been captureth,

Bangʼ higni adek, jo-Asuria nokaw Samaria. Omiyo Samaria nokaw e higa mar auchiel mar loch Hezekia mane en higa mar ochiko mar Hoshea ruodh Israel.

11 and the king of Asshur removeth Israel to Asshur, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor [by] the river Gozan, and [in] cities of the Medes,

Ruodh Asuria nodaro jo-Israel motero e twech e piny Asuria kendo noketogi gidak Hala, Gozan man e bath Aora Habor kaachiel gi mier mag Medes.

12 because that they have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah their God, and transgress His covenant — all that He commanded Moses, servant of Jehovah — yea, they have not hearkened nor done [it].

Ma notimore nikech ne ok girito chike Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachgi, to negiketho singruok mane Musa jatich Jehova Nyasaye ochikogi. Kata kamano ne ok girito chikene kata timo dwarone.

13 And in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah hath Sennacherib king of Asshur come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and seizeth them,

E higa mar apar gangʼwen mar loch Ruoth Hezekia, Senakerib ruodh Asuria nomonjo mier madongo duto mochiel motegno mag Juda mokawogi.

14 and Hezekiah king of Judah sendeth unto the king of Asshur to Lachish, saying, 'I have sinned, turn back from off me; that which thou puttest on me I bear;' and the king of Asshur layeth on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold,

Omiyo Hezekia ruodh Juda nooro wach ne ruodh Asuria ka en Lakish kowacho kama: “Aseketho, koro yie iwe kedo koda nikech abiro chulo gimoro amora midwaro.” Ruodh Asuria nokawo kuom Hezekia ruodh Juda fedha ma pekne romo kilo alufu apar gi dhahabu ma pekne romo kilo alufu achiel.

15 and Hezekiah giveth all the silver that is found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the king;

Omiyo Hezekia nomiye fedha duto mane oyud e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye to gi ute keno duto mag od ruoth.

16 at that time hath Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and giveth them to the king of Asshur.

E sa onogo ema ne Hezekia ruodh Juda ne ogolo oko dhahabu mane obawogo dhoudi kod sirni mag hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye kendo nomiyogi ruodh Asuria.

17 And the king of Asshur sendeth Tartan, and the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the butlers, from Lachish, unto king Hezekiah, with a heavy force, to Jerusalem, and they go up and come in to Jerusalem, and they go up, and come in and stand by the conduit of the upper pool that [is] in the highway of the fuller's field.

Ruodh Asuria nooro jatend jolweny mare maduongʼ, jatend jolweny maluwe to gi jatend lweny motelo e kar kedo kaachiel gi jolweny mangʼeny ir Hezekia Jerusalem ka gia Lakish. Negidhi nyaka Jerusalem ma gichopo e bath Soko man malo nyaka e puoth jaluoko.

18 And they call unto the king, and go out unto them doth Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer.

Kane giluongo ruoth, to Eliakim wuod Hilkia jatend od ruoth, Shebna jagoro kendo Joa wuod Asaf mane jachan weche nodhi irgi.

19 And the chief of the butlers saith unto them, 'Say, I pray you, unto Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur, What [is] this confidence in which thou hast confided?

Jatend lweny nowachonegi niya, “Wachneuru Hezekia kama: “‘Ma e gima ruoth maduongʼ ma ruodh Asuria wacho: En kama nade miketoe genoni momiyo in-gi chir kama?

20 Thou hast said: Only a word of the lips! counsel and might [are] for battle; now, on whom hast thou trusted that thou hast rebelled against me?

Uwacho ni un gi rieko kod teko mangʼeny mar lweny, to gik ma uwacho onge tiendgi. En ngʼa ma uketo genou kuome, mamiyo ungʼanyo uweya?

21 'Now, lo, thou hast trusted for thee on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leaneth on, and it hath gone into his hand, and pierced it! — so [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.

Neuru, sani koro uketo genou kuom Misri, machalo odundu mobarore ma ka ngʼato orere to opilore mochwo ngʼatno kendo kelo adhola! Mano e kaka Farao ruodh Misri chalo ne joma ogeno kuome.

22 'And when ye say unto me, Unto Jehovah our God we have trusted, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath turned aside, and saith to Judah and to Jerusalem, Before this altar do ye bow yourselves in Jerusalem?

To ka uwachona niya, “Wan waketo genowa kuom Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa,” to donge en ema kuondene motingʼore malo kod kendene mag misango Hezekia nogolo kowachone jo-Juda gi jo-Jerusalem niya, “Nyaka ulam mana e nyim kendoni e Jerusalem?”

23 'And, now, give a pledge for thee, I pray thee, to my lord the king of Asshur, and I give to thee two thousand horses, if thou art able to give for thee riders on them.

“‘Biuru sani mondo uwinjru gi ruodha, ma en ruodh Asuria: Abiro miyou farese alufu ariyo, ka unyalo yudo joma riembogi!

24 And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, that thou dost trust for thee on Egypt for chariot, and for horsemen?

Ere kaka uparo ni unyalo loyo achiel kuom jotend jolweny matinie moloyo mag ruodha ka uketo genou mana kuom jolwenj Misri gi faresegi?

25 Now, without Jehovah have I come up against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and thou hast destroyed it.'

To moloyo, bende dibed ni asebiro monjo kendo ketho dalani ka ok en kuom wach Jehova Nyasaye? Jehova Nyasaye owuon ema osenyisa mondo abi amonj pinyni kendo akethe.’”

26 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah saith — and Shebna, and Joah — to the chief of the butlers, 'Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants [in] Aramaean, for we are understanding, and do not speak with us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.'

Eka Eliakim wuod Hilkia, Shebna kod Joa nowachone Rabshake jatend lweny niya, “Yie iwuo gi jotichni gi dho jo-Aram, nimar wawinjo dhokno. We wuoyo kodwa gi dho jo-Hibrania nikech joma ni e ohinga nyalo winjo gik miwachonwa.”

27 And the chief of the butlers saith unto them, 'For thy lord, and unto thee, hath my lord sent me to speak these words? is it not for the men, those sitting on the wall to eat their own dung and to drink their own water, with you?'

To Rabshake jatend lweny nodwokogi niya, “Uparo ni un kod ruodhu kendu ema ne ruodha oora iru mondo awachnu wechegi, to ok ne joma obedo ei ohinga; bende ungʼeyo ni jogo kaachiel gi un biro bangʼo chiethgi kendo madho lachgi?”

28 And the chief of the butlers standeth and calleth with a great voice [in] Jewish, and speaketh and saith, 'Hear ye a word of the great king, the king of Asshur:

Eka jatend lweny nochungʼ moluongo matek gi dho jo-Hibrania niya, “Winjuru wach moa kuom ruoth maduongʼ, ma en ruodh Asuria!

29 thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you out of his hand;

Ma e gima ruoth wacho: Kik uyie Hezekia wuondu nikech ok onyal resou e lweta.

30 and let not Hezekiah make you trust unto Jehovah, saying, Jehovah doth certainly deliver us, and this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.

Kik uwe Hezekia hou mondo ugen kuom Jehova Nyasaye kowachonu ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye biro resowa adier, kendo dala maduongʼni ok nochiw e lwet ruodh Asuria.’

31 'Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur, Make with me a blessing, and come out unto me, and eat ye each of his vine, and each of his fig-tree, and drink ye each the waters of his own well,

“Kik uwinj wach Hezekia. Ma e gima ruodh Asuria wacho: Winjreuru koda kendo biuru ira oko. Bangʼe ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu nocham mzabibu kod ngʼowu kendo nomodh pi moa e sokone owuon,

32 till my coming in, and I have taken you unto a land like your own land, a land of corn and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive, and honey, and live, and die not; and do not hearken unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, Jehovah doth deliver us.

nyaka chop abi mi ateru e piny machal gi pinyu, ma en piny machiego cham gi divai manyien, piny mopongʼ gi makati kod mzabibu, piny man-gi yiende zeituni kod mor kich. Yieruru ngima, to kik uyier tho! “Kik uwinj wach Hezekia, nimar owuondou kowacho ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye biro resowa.’

33 'Have the gods of the nations delivered at all each his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?

Bende nyaka nene nyasach piny moro amora osereso ogandane e lwet ruodh Asuria?

34 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?

Ere nyiseche mag Hamath gi Arpad? Ere nyiseche mag Sefarvaim, Hena kod Iva? Bende ne gireso Samaria e lweta?

35 Who [are they] among all the gods of the lands that have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'

Kuom nyiseche duto mag pinjegi, en mane mosereso pinye e lweta? To koro ere kaka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo reso Jerusalem e lweta?”

36 And the people have kept silent, and have not answered him a word, for the command of the king is, saying, 'Do not answer him.'

To ji duto nolingʼ thi maonge ngʼama dwoko nimar ruoth Hezekia nosegolo chik niya, “Kik udwoke.”

37 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, cometh in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the remembrancer, unto Hezekiah, with rent garments, and they declare to him the words of the chief of the butlers.

Eka Eliakim wuod Hilkia jatend od ruoth, gi Shebna jagoro kod Joa wuod Asaf jachan weche mag piny nodhi ir Hezekia, ka lepgi oyiech kendo negiwachone gima jatend lwenyno osewacho.
