Isaiah 36
1 And it cometh to pass, in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, come up hath Sennacherib king of Asshur against all the fenced cities of Judah, and seizeth them.
Nʼafọ nke iri na anọ nke ọchịchị eze Hezekaya, Senakerib, bụ eze Asịrịa, busoro obodo Juda niile e wusiri ike agha, meriekwa ha.
2 And the king of Asshur sendeth Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, unto the king Hezekiah, with a heavy force, and he standeth by the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fuller's field,
Mgbe ahụ, eze Asịrịa sitere na Lakish zipụ ọchịagha ya, ya na usuu ndị agha ijekwuru Hezekaya na Jerusalem. Mgbe ọchịagha ahụ kwụsịrị nʼụzọ mmiri nke ọdọ mmiri dị Elu, nʼụzọ jere nʼebe ọhịa Ọsụ akwa.
3 and go forth unto him doth Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer.
Eliakịm, nwa Hilkaya, onye nlekọta ụlọeze, na Shebna, bụ ode akwụkwọ eze, na Joa nwa Asaf, onye ndekọ akụkọ ihe mere, pụrụ jekwuru ya.
4 And Rabshakeh saith unto them, 'Say ye, I pray you, unto Hezekiah, 'Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur, What [is] this confidence in which thou hast confided?
Ọchịagha ahụ sịrị ha, “Gwanụ Hezekaya: “‘Otu a ka eze ukwu ahụ, bụ eze Asịrịa, na-ekwu, Ọ bụ na gịnị ka ntụkwasị obi gị dabere?
5 I have 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?
Ị na-ekwu na i nwere ndụmọdụ na ike ibu agha, maọbụ naanị egbe ọnụ ka ị na-agba. Ọ bụ onye ka ị na-atụkwasị obi, mere i ji enupu isi nʼokpuru m?
6 'Lo, thou hast trusted 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.
Lee, amatara m na ị na-atụkwasị obi nʼIjipt, mkpanaka achara ahụ gbajiri agbaji, nke na-adụwa aka onye ọbụla na-adabere na ya. Otu a ka Fero, eze Ijipt dị nye ndị niile na-atụkwasị ya obi.
7 'And dost thou 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 ye do bow yourselves?
Ma ọ bụrụ na unu asị m, “Anyị na-atụkwasị Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị obi.” Ọ bụghị ya ka Hezekaya wezugara ebe ya niile dị elu na ebe ịchụ aja ya niile, na-asị Juda na Jerusalem, “Unu aghaghị ịkpọ isiala nʼebe ịchụ aja a?”
8 'And now, negotiate, I pray thee, with my lord the king of Asshur, and I give to thee two thousand horses, if thou art able to put for thee riders on them.
“‘Ma ugbu a, bịa kwee nna m ukwu, bụ eze Asịrịa nkwa. Aga m enye gị puku ịnyịnya abụọ ma ọ bụrụ na i nwere ike ịchọta ndị ga-agba ha.
9 And how dost thou turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, and dost trust for thee on Egypt, for chariot and for horsemen?
Ị ga-esi kwa aṅaa jụ otu onyeisi nke dịkarịsịrị nta nʼime ndịisi ọrụ onyenwe m, na-agbanyeghịkwa na i na-atụkwasị obi nʼIjipt maka inweta ụgbọ agha na ndị na-agba ịnyịnya?
10 And now, without Jehovah have I come up against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up unto this land, and thou hast destroyed it.'
Tinyere nke a, abịara m ibuso ala a agha na ibibi ya ma ọ bụghị nkwado Onyenwe anyị? Onyenwe anyị ya onwe ya gwara m ka m bilie megide obodo a, lakwaa ya nʼiyi.’”
11 And Eliakim saith — and Shebna and Joah — unto Rabshakeh, 'Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants [in] Aramaean, for we are understanding; and do not speak unto us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.'
Mgbe ahụ Eliakịm, Shebna na Joa sịrị ọchịagha ahụ, “Biko, gwa ndị ohu gị okwu nʼasụsụ Aramaik, ebe ọ bụ na anyị na-aghọta ya. Agwala anyị okwu nʼasụsụ Hibru, ebe ndị nọ nʼelu mgbidi ga-anụ.”
12 And Rabshakeh saith, 'Unto 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?'
Ma ọchịagha ahụ zaghachiri, “Ọ bụ nʼihi naanị nna unu ukwu na nye unu onwe unu ka nna m ukwu ji zite m, ka m kwuo ihe ndị a? Ọ bụghị nʼihi ndị mmadụ ahụ na-anọdụ nʼelu mgbidi, ndị, dịka unu, ha ga-eso rie nsị ha nyụrụ, ṅụọkwa mamịrị ha nyụrụ?”
13 And Rabshakeh standeth and calleth with a great voice [in] Jewish, and saith, 'Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Asshur:
Mgbe ahụ, ọchịagha ahụ guzoro were oke olu kwuo nʼasụsụ Hibru, sị, “Nụrụnụ okwu niile nke eze ukwu ahụ, bụ eze Asịrịa.
14 Thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you;
Nke a bụ ihe eze sịrị, Unu ekwela ka Hezekaya duhie unu. Ọ pụghị ịzọpụta unu.
15 and let not Hezekiah make you trust unto Jehovah, saying, Jehovah doth certainly deliver us, this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
Unu ekwela ka Hezekaya mee ka unu tụkwasị Onyenwe anyị obi, mgbe ọ na-asị, ‘Nʼezie, Onyenwe anyị aghaghị ịnapụta anyị. A gaghị enyefe obodo a nʼaka eze Asịrịa.’
16 'Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur, Make ye 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,
“Unu aṅakwala Hezekaya ntị. Ihe a ka eze Asịrịa kwuru: Pụkwutenụ m, bịanụ ka mụ na unu mee udo. Mgbe ahụ, onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-eri mkpụrụ si nʼubi vaịnị ya na nke si nʼosisi fiig ya, ṅụọkwa mmiri nke si nʼihe icheta mmiri ya:
17 till my coming in, and I have taken you unto a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards;
ruo mgbe m ga-abịa duru unu gaa nʼala dịka nke unu, bụ ala mkpụrụ ọka na nke mmanya ọhụrụ, ala achịcha na ubi vaịnị jupụtara nʼime ya.
18 lest Hezekiah doth persuade you, saying, Jehovah doth deliver us. 'Have the gods of the nations delivered each his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?
“Unu ekwela ka Hezekaya rafuo unu mgbe ọ na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị ga-anapụta anyị.’ O nweela chi niile nke ndị mba ọzọ, nke napụtarala ala ha site nʼaka eze Asịrịa.
19 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where the gods of Sepharvaim, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Olee ebe ka chi ndị Hamat na Apad nọ? Olee ebe ka chi ndị Sefavaim nọkwa? Ha anapụtala Sameria site nʼaka m?
20 Who among all the gods of these lands [are] they who have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah doth deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'
Olee chi nʼime chi mba ndị a niile, bụ ndị zọpụtarala ala ha site nʼaka m? Unu si aṅaa chee na Onyenwe anyị pụrụ ịzọpụta Jerusalem site nʼaka m?”
21 And they keep silent, and have not answered him a word, for a command of the king is, saying, 'Do not answer him.'
Ma ndị ahụ niile gbara nkịtị, ha ekwughị ihe ọbụla, nʼihi na eze nyere ha iwu sị, “Unu azaghachila ya.”
22 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 Rabshakeh.
Mgbe Eliakịm nwa Hilkaya, onyeisi ọchịchị, na Shebna ode akwụkwọ eze, na Joa nwa Asaf, ode akwụkwọ akụkọ eze laghachikwuuru Hezekaya, ha dọwara uwe ha mgbe ha na-aga igosi ya ịda mba nke obi ha. Ha gwakwara ya ihe niile onyeisi agha ndị Asịrịa kwuru.
