< 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.
Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Hezekia mpanjaka dia niakatra Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, hamely ny tanàna mimanda rehetra any Joda ka nahafaka azy.
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,
Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria naniraka an-dRabsake mbamin’ ny miaramila betsaka avy teo Lakisy hankany Jerosalema ho any amin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka. Dia nitsangana teo anilan’ ny lakan-drano amin’ ny kamory ambony izy, teo an-dalambe mankamin’ ny sahan’ ny mpamotsy lamba.
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.
Ary Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia, izay lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary Joa, zanak’ i Asafa, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana, dia nivoaka ho ao aminy.
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?
Dia hoy Rabsake tamin’ ireo: Andeha, lazao amin’ i Hezekia hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka lehibe, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Inona moa izato itokianao?
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?
Hoy izaho: Teny foana ny hoe: Manana saina sy hery hiady aho. Fa iza no itokianao, no miodina amiko ianao?
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.
Indro, ianao matoky io tehina volotara torotoro io, dia Egypta, nefa raha itehenan’ olona io, dia manindrona ny tànany miboroaka; eny, tahaka izany Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, amin’ izay rehetra matoky azy.
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?
Fa raha hoy ianao amiko: Jehovah Andriamanitray no itokianay, moa tsy Azy va ny fitoerana avo aman’ alitara izay noravan’ i Hezekia, izay nilaza tamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema hoe: Eto anoloan’ ity alitara ity no hiankohofanareo?
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.
Koa aoka hifaninana ianao sy ny tompoko, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, fa homeko soavaly roa arivo ianao, raha tàhiny manana olona hitaingina azy.
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?
Hataonao ahoana no fampiamboho ny komandy iray amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tompoko, na dia izay kely indrindra aminy aza, nefa matoky an’ i Egypta ianao hahazoanao kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly?
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.'
Koa moa haitraitro va izao niakarako izao? Tsia, fa Jehovah no naniraka ahy handrava ity tany ity ka nanao hoe: Miakara ho amin’ izany tany izany, ka ravao izy.
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.'
Dia hoy Eliakima sy Sebna ary Joa tamin-dRabsake: Masìna ianao, teny Syriana no ataovy amin’ ny mpanomponao, fa fantatray ihany izany; fa aza manao teny Jiosy ho ren’ ny olona eny ambonin’ ny manda.
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?'
Fa hoy Rabsake: Moa ho amin’ ny tomponao sy ianao va no nanirahan’ ny tompoko hilaza izany teny izany, fa tsy ho amin’ ny olona izay mipetraka eny ambonin’ ny manda, hihinanany izay tsy fihinany sy hisotroany izay tsy fisotrony miaraka aminareo?
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:
Dia nijoro teo Rabsake ka niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery tamin’ ny teny Jiosy hoe: Henoy ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka lehibe, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
14 Thus said the king, Let not Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you;
Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Aza mety hofitahin’ i Hezekia ianareo; fa tsy hahavonjy anareo izy tsy akory.
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.
Ary aza mety hampahatokin’ i Hezekia an’ i Jehovah ianareo amin’ ny anaovany hoe: Jehovah no hamonjy antsika tokoa; ary tsy hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria tsy akory ity tanàna ity.
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,
Aza mihaino an’ i Hezekia ianareo; fa izao no lazain’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Manaova fanekena amiko hiadananareo, ka mankanesa atỳ amiko, ary samia homana ny voalobony sy ny aviaviny, ary samia misotro ny rano avy amin’ ny lavaka famorian-dranony avy ianareo,
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;
mandra-pihaviko hitondra anareo ho any amin’ izay tany tahaka ny taninareo, dia tany misy vary sy ranom-boaloboka, tany misy mofo sy tanim-boaloboka.
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?
Aza mety homen’ i Hezekia vohony ianareo amin’ ny anaovany hoe: Jehovah no hamonjy antsika. Moa nisy nahavonjy ny taniny tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria va ireo andriamanitry ny firenena ireo?
19 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where the gods of Sepharvaim, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Aiza moa ny andriamanitr’ i Hamata sy Arpada? Ary aiza koa ny andriamanitr’ i Sefarvaima? Nahavonjy an’ i Samaria tamin’ ny tanako va ireo andriamaniny?
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?'
Iza moa amin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra amin’ ireo tany ireo no efa nahavonjy ny taniny tamin’ ny tanako, koa aiza no hahavonjen’ i Jehovah an’ i Jerosalema amin’ ny tanako?
21 And they keep silent, and have not answered him a word, for a command of the king is, saying, 'Do not answer him.'
Nefa nangina ny olona, ka tsy nisy namaly azy na dia teny indraim-bava akory aza, satria ny mpanjaka efa nandidy hoe: Aza misy mamaly azy.
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.
Ary Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia, izay lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary Joa, zanak’ i Asafa, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana, dia niditra nankao amin’ i Hezekia, sady voatriatra ny fitafiany, ary nilaza taminy ny tenin-dRabsake izy.
