1 Ita, iti maikatlo a tawen a panagturay ni Oseas nga ari ti Israel nga anak ni Ela, nangrugi nga agturay ni Hezekias nga anak ni Ahaz a kas ari iti Juda.
In the third year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz became king of Judah.
2 Agtawen idi isuna iti duapulo ket lima idi nangrugi nga agturay; nagturay isuna iti duapulo ket siam a tawen idiay Jerusalem. Ti nagan ti inana ket Abiha nga anak a babai ni Zacarias.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
3 Inaramidna ti umno iti imatang ni Yahweh, sinurotna ti pagwadan kadagiti amin nga inaramid ti kapuonanna a ni David.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
4 Inikkatna dagiti disso a pagdaydayawan, dinadaelna dagiti nasagradoan a bato nga adigi, ken pinutedna dagiti imahen ni Asera. Binurakna ti bronse a sinan-uleg nga inaramid ni Moises, gapu ta kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, nagpupuor iti insenso dagiti tattao ti Israel iti daytoy; naawagan daytoy iti “Nehustan.”
He removed the high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He also demolished the bronze snake called Nehushtan that Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had burned incense to it.
5 Nagtalek ni Hezekias kenni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, ket awanen ti simmaruno a kas kenkuana kadagiti amin nga ar-ari ti Juda, wenno kadagiti ar-ari nga immun-una kenkuana.
Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. No king of Judah was like him, either before him or after him.
6 Ta nagkapet isuna kenni Yahweh. Saan isuna a simmardeng a sumursurot kenkuana ket tinungpalna dagiti bilbilinna, nga imbilin ni Yahweh kenni Moises.
He remained faithful to the LORD and did not turn from following Him; he kept the commandments that the LORD had given Moses.
7 Isu nga adda ni Yahweh kenni Hezekias, ket sadinoman ti papananna, agballigi isuna. Binusorna ti ari ti Asiria ken saan a nagserbi kenkuana.
And the LORD was with Hezekiah, and he prospered wherever he went. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and refused to serve him.
8 Ginubatna dagiti Filisteo idiay Gaza ken dagiti nagbebeddengan iti aglawlaw, manipud iti tore dagiti agbanbantay agingga iti dakkel a nasarikedkedan a siudad.
He defeated the Philistines as far as Gaza and its borders, from watchtower to fortified city.
9 Iti maikapat a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Hezekaias, a maikapito met a tawen a panagturay nga ari iti Israel ni Oseas nga anak ni Ela, rinaut ni Salmaneser nga ari ti Asiria ti Samaria ket linnakubda daytoy.
In the fourth year of Hezekiah’s reign, which was the seventh year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria marched against Samaria and besieged it.
10 Kalpasan iti tallo a tawen, nasakupda daytoy, iti maikanem a tawen a panagturay ni Hezekias, a maika-siam met a tawen a panagturay ni Oseas nga ari ti Israel; iti kastoy a wagas, nasakup ti Samaria.
And at the end of three years, the Assyrians captured it. So Samaria was captured in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel.
11 Isu nga impan ti ari ti Asiria ti Israel idiay Asiria ket impanna ida idiay Hala, iti Karayan Habor ti Gosan, ken kadagiti siudad ti Media.
The king of Assyria exiled the Israelites to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
12 Inaramidna daytoy gapu ta saanda a tinungpal ti timek ni Yahweh a Diosda, ngem sinalungasingda ti katulaganna, dagiti amin nga imbilin ni Moises nga adipen ni Yahweh. Saanda a dinengngeg daytoy wenno inaramid daytoy.
This happened because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD their God, but violated His covenant—all that Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded—and would neither listen nor obey.
13 Iti maikasangapulo ket uppat a tawen a panagturay ni Ari Hezekias, ginubat ni Senakerib nga ari ti Asiria dagiti amin a nasarikedkedan a siudad ti Juda ket tiniliwda ida.
In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked and captured all the fortified cities of Judah.
14 Isu a nangipatulod ti sao ni Hezekias nga ari ti Juda iti ari ti Asiria, nga adda sadiay Lakis, a kinunana, “Pinabainanka. Panawannak. Aniaman nga ipabaklaymo kaniak, baklayek.” Kinalikaguman ti ari ti Asiria nga agbayad ni Hezekaias nga ari ti Juda iti tallo gasut a talento ti pirak ken tallopulo a talento ti balituk.
So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand from me.” And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 Isu nga inted amin ni Hezekias dagiti pirak a nabirukanna iti balay ni Yahweh ken kadagiti pagiduldulinan ti kinabaknang iti palasio ti ari.
Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
16 Linikkab ni Hzsekias dagiti balitok kadagiti ruangan ti templo ni Yahweh ken manipud kadagiti inkalupkopna kadagiti adigi; intedna dagiti balitok iti ari ti Asiria.
At that time Hezekiah stripped the gold with which he had plated the doors and doorposts of the temple of the LORD, and he gave it to the king of Assyria.
17 Ngem pinagtignay ti ari ti Asiria ti adu nga armadana, imbaonna da Tartan, Rabsaris ken ti panguloen a komandante manipud idiay Lakis a mapan kenni Ari Hezekias idiay Jerusalem. Nagdaliasatda kadagiti dalan ket nakadanunda iti ruar ti Jerusalem. Immasidegda iti pagayusan ti akinngato a pagurnongan ti danum, iti kalsada nga abay ti paglalabaan, ket nagtakderda iti abay daytoy.
Nevertheless, the king of Assyria sent the Tartan, the Rabsaris, and the Rabshakeh, along with a great army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. They advanced up to Jerusalem and stationed themselves by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.
18 Idi inayabanda ni Ari Hezekias, rimmuar da Eliakim nga anak ni Hilkias a mangimatmaton iti palasio, ni Sebna nga eskriba, ken Joa nga anak ni Asaf nga agay-aywan kadagiti napapateg a papeles, tapno sabtenda ida.
Then they called for the king; and Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, went out to them.
19 Kinuna ti panguloen a komandante kadakuada nga ibagada amin kenni Hezekias ti kinuna ti naindaklan nga ari, ti ari ti Asiria, “Ania aya ti pagpanpannakkelyo?
The Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah that this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?
20 Agsasaokayo laeng kadagiti awan kaes-eskanna a sasao, ibagbagayo nga adda dagiti sabali a nasion a tumulong kadakayo ken pigsayo iti gubat. Ita, siasino ti pagtaltalkanyo? Siasino ti nangpatured kadakayo a bumusor kaniak?
You claim to have a strategy and strength for war, but these are empty words. In whom are you now trusting, that you have rebelled against me?
21 Kitaenyo, agtalekkayo iti tukkol a sarukod a runo ti Egipto, a no agsammaked ti maysa a tao a pagsarukod daytoy, maitudok iti imana. Dayta ti kaiyarigan ti Paraon nga ari ti Egipto iti siasinoman nga agtalek kenkuana.
Look now, you are trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
22 Ngem no ibagayo kaniak, 'Agtaltalekkami kenni Yahweh a Diosmi,' saan kadi a kukuana dagiti inikkat ni Hezekias a disso a pagdaydayawan ken dagiti altar, ket naibaga iti Juda ken iti Jerusalem, 'Masapul nga agdayawkayo iti sangoanan daytoy nga altar iti Jerusalem'?
But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is He not the One whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You must worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
23 Ita ngarud, kayatko ti mangidiaya ti nasayaat kadakayo manipud iti apok nga ari ti Asiria. Ikkankayo iti dua ribu a kabalio, no makabirukkayo iti mangsakay kadagitoy.
Now, therefore, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria. I will give you two thousand horses—if you can put riders on them!
24 Kasanoyo a sarangten ti uray maysa laeng a kapitan dagiti kakakapuyan nga adipen ti apok? Inkabilyo ti panagtalekyo iti Egipto gapu kadagiti karwahe ken kadagiti kumakabalio!
For how can you repel a single officer among the least of my master’s servants when you depend on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
25 Dimmanonak kadi ditoy a lugar a manggubat ken mangdadael iti daytoy a lugar nga awan ni Yahweh? Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, 'Rautem daytoy a daga ket dadaelem.'''
So now, was it apart from the LORD that I have come up against this place to destroy it? The LORD Himself said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”
26 Ket kinuna da Eliakim nga anak ni Hilkias, Sebna ken Joa iti panguloen a komandante, “Pangaasim ta agsaoka kadagiti adipenmo iti pagsasao nga Arameo, ta maawatanmi daytoy. Saanka nga agsao kadakami iti pagsasao ti Juda kadagiti lapayag dagiti tattao nga adda kadagiti rabaw ti pader.”
Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, along with Shebnah and Joah, said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Do not speak with us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
27 Ngem kinuna ti panguloen a komandante kadakuada, “Imbaonnak kadi ti apok iti apoyo ken kadakayo tapno ibagak dagitoy a sasao? Saan kadi nga imbaonnak kadagiti tattao nga agtugtugaw kadagiti rabaw ti pader, a kadduayo a mangan kadagiti bukodyo a rugit ken uminum kadagiti bukodyo nga isbu?”
But the Rabshakeh replied, “Has my master sent me to speak these words only to you and your master, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?”
28 Kalpasanna ket timmakder ken nagpukkaw iti napigsa ti panguloen a komandante iti pagsaso a Judio a kinunana, “Dumngegkayo iti sao ti naindaklan nga ari, ti ari ti Asiria.
Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!
29 Kinuna ti ari,
This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; he cannot deliver you from my hand.
30 'Saanyo nga ipalubos nga allilawennakayo ni Hezekaias, ta saannakayo a kabaelan nga ispalen manipud iti bilegko. Saanyo nga ipalubos a pagtalkennakayo ni Hezekias kenni Yahweh, a kunana, “Awan dua-dua nga ispalennatayo ni Yahweh; saan a maipaima daytoy a siudad iti ari ti Asiria.'''
Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
31 Saankayo a dumngeg kenni Hezekias, ta daytoy ti kinuna ti ari ti Asiria: 'Makikapiakayo kaniak ket sumukokayo kaniak. Ket mangan iti tunggal maysa kadakayo manipud iti ubasna ken manipud iti kayona nga igos, ken uminom iti danum manipud iti bubonna.
Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink water from his own cistern,
32 Aramidenyo daytoy agingga nga umayak a mangipan kadakayo iti daga a kasla iti bukodyo a daga, daga nga addaan kadagiti trigo ken baro nga arak, daga nga addaan iti tinapay ken kaubasan, daga nga addaan kadagiti kayo ti olibo ken diro, tapno agbiagkayo a saan ketdi a matay.' Saankayo a dumngeg kenni Hezekias no allukoyennakayo a kunana, “Ispalennatayo ni Yahweh.'
until I come and take you away to a land like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey—so that you may live and not die. But do not listen to Hezekiah, for he misleads you when he says, ‘The LORD will deliver us.’
33 Adda kadi kadagiti dios dagiti tattao ti nangispal kadakuada manipud iti bileg ti ari ti Asiria?
Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
34 Sadino ti ayan dagiti dios da Hamat ken Arpad? Sadino ti ayan dagiti dios da Sefravaim, Hena ken Ivva? Naispalda kadi ti Samaria manipud kadagiti imak?
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
35 Kadagiti amin a dios dagiti daga, adda kadi ti aniaman a dios a nangispal iti dagana manipud iti bilegko? Kasano nga isalakan ni Yahweh ti Jerusalem manipud iti kinabilegko?”
Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land from my hand? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
36 Ngem nagtalinaed a naulimek dagiti tattao ket saanda a simmungbat, ta isu ti imbilin ti ari, “Saankayo a sumungbat kenkuana.”
But the people remained silent and did not answer a word, for Hezekiah had commanded, “Do not answer him.”
37 Kalpasanna, napan da Eliakim nga anak ni Hilkias, a mangimatmaton ti palasio; Sebna nga eskriba; ken ni Joa nga anak ni Asaf, ti paraidulin kadagiti napapateg a papeles kenni Hezekias, a naray-ab dagiti pagan-anayda ket impadamagda kenkuana dagiti sinao ti panguloen a komandante.
Then Hilkiah’s son Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and Asaph’s son Joah the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they relayed to him the words of the Rabshakeh.
