Luo Chronicle 32

1 Tukun ouiya wo su Tokosra Hezekiah el oru ke kulansap oaru lal nu sin LEUM GOD, Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el utyak mweuni acn Judah. El kuhlusya siti ma akkeyeyukla, ac sap nu sin mwet mweun lal in fokolak pot uh ac utyak nu in siti uh.

Now after these things and this true-hearted work, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came into Judah, and put his army in position before the walled towns of Judah, designing to make his way into them by force.

2 Ke Hezekiah el akilen lah Sennacherib el akoo in mweuni pac acn Jerusalem,

And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come for the purpose of fighting against Jerusalem,

3 na el sramsram yurin mwet pwapa lal ac mwet mweun watwen lal, tuh elos in kunausla unon in kof ma oan likin siti uh. Na elos kasrel ke pwapa sac.

He took up with his rulers and men of war the question of stopping up the water-springs outside the town; and they gave him their support.

4 Mwet puspis fahsreni, ac elos tulokinya unon in kof ac sungan infacl srisrik ma oasr in acn sac. Elos fahk, “Lela in wanginna kof nu sin mwet Assyria elos fin sun acn inge.”

So they got together a great number of people, and had all the water-springs and the stream flowing through the land stopped up, saying, Why let the kings of Assyria come and have much water?

5 Ac tokosra el akkeyala ma loangeyen siti uh ke el akwoyela pot we, ac musaela tower fin pot uh, ac musaela sie pac pot nu likin pot uh. Sayen ma inge el aksasuyela pac acn ma musaiyuk ke acn se ma koaneyukla layen nu kutulap in Siti sel David. El oayapa sap in orekla osra in fakfuk ac mwe loeyuk pukanten.

Then he took heart, building up the wall where it was broken down, and making its towers higher, and building another wall outside; and he made strong the Millo in the town of David, and got together a great store of all sorts of instruments of war.

6 El oakiya mwet nukewa in siti uh ye kolyuk lun captain lun mwet mweun, ac sap elos in tukeni ke nien tukeni se ke mutunpot lun siti uh. Ac el fahk nu selos,

And he put war chiefs over the people, and sent for them all to come together to him in the wide place at the doorway into the town, and to give them heart he said to them,

7 “Kowos in ku ac pulaik na. Nikmet sangeng sin Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria ac mwet mweun pus lal. Oasr ku yorosr lukel.

Be strong and take heart; have no fear, and do not be troubled on account of the king of Assyria and all the great army with him: for there is a greater with us.

8 El kukin ku lun mwet, a LEUM GOD pa wi kut ac kasrekut ke mweun lasr.” Ac mwet uh pulaikla ke kas lun tokosra lalos.

With him is an arm of flesh; but we have the Lord our God, helping us and fighting for us. And the people put their faith in what Hezekiah, king of Judah, said.

9 In kutu pacl tok, ke Sennacherib ac mwet mweun lal srakna oasr Lachish, el supwala kas inge nu sel Hezekiah ac mwet Judah su welul muta Jerusalem:

After this, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sent his servants to Jerusalem (at that time he was stationed with all his army in front of Lachish), to say to Hezekiah and all the men of Judah in Jerusalem,

10 “Nga, Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, siyuk lah mea kowos lulalfongi pwanang kowos mutana Jerusalem, ke nga akola in mweuni kowos uh?

Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says, In what are you placing your hope, waiting here in the walled town of Jerusalem?

11 Hezekiah el fahk mu LEUM GOD lowos El ac molikowosla liki ku lasr, tusruktu Hezekiah el kiapwekowos. El ac oru kowos in misa ke masrinsral ac malu.

Is it not Hezekiah who has got you to do it, causing your death from need of food and water, by saying, The Lord our God will give us salvation out of the hands of the king of Assyria?

12 El pa kunausla nien alu ac loang lun LEUM GOD, ac fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem mu elos in alu ac akosak mwe keng ke loang sefanna.

Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Give worship before one altar only, burning offerings on it?

13 Mea, kowos tia etu ma nga ac papa tumuk oru nu sin mwet in mutunfacl saya? Ya god lun mutunfacl saya molela mwet lalos liki Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria?

Have you no knowledge of what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of every land? were the gods of the nations of those lands able to keep their land from falling into my hands?

14 Nu oasr pacl god lun mutunfacl saya molelosla liki kut? Na mea se oru kowos nunku mu god lowos el ac ku in molikowosla kac?

Who was there among all the gods of those nations, which my fathers put to destruction, who was able to keep his people safe from my hands? and is it possible that your God will keep you safe from my hands?

15 Nimet lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekowos ac aktafongyekowosla. Nimet lulalfongel! Wangin sie god lun kutena mutunfacl ku in molela mwet lal liki Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria. Kalem na lah god lowos el tia pac ku in molikowosla!”

So do not be tricked by Hezekiah or let him get you to do this, and do not put any faith in what he says: for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to keep his people safe from my hands, or the hands of my fathers: how much less will your God keep you safe from my hands!

16 Mwet pwapa lun mwet Assyria elos fahk ma koluk na yohk ke LEUM GOD ac kacl Hezekiah, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD.

And his servants said even more against the Lord God and against his servant Hezekiah.

17 Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el supwala leta se su arulana akkolukye LEUM GOD lun Israel. Pa inge kas ke leta sac: “God lun mutunfacl saya tiana molela mwet lalos liki ku luk. Ouinge, god lal Hezekiah el tia pac ku in molela mwet lal likiyu.”

And he sent letters, in addition, to put shame on the Lord, the God of Israel, and to say evil against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not been able to keep their people safe from my hands, no more will the God of Hezekiah keep his people safe from my hands.

18 Mwet pwapa lal elos wowoyak ke fahkyen kas inge in kas Hebrew, in aksangengye mwet ma muta fin pot lun siti uh elos in sepulaikla, na ac fisrasr in sruhu siti sac.

These things they said, crying out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, with the purpose of troubling them and putting fear into them, so that they might take the town;

19 Elos kaskas ke God lun Jerusalem oana ke elos kaskas ke god lun mutunfacl saya, su ma sruloala orekla ke poun mwet.

Talking of the God of Jerusalem as if he was like the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of men's hands.

20 Na Tokosra Hezekiah ac mwet palu Isaiah, wen natul Amoz, eltal pre nu sin God ac pang in suk kasre sel.

And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, made prayer because of this, crying out to heaven.

21 LEUM GOD El supwala sie lipufan su uniya mwet mweun Assyria oayapa mwet kol lalos. Na Tokosra Fulat sac mwekinla ac folokla nu Assyria. Sie len ah, ke el muta in tempul lun god lal, kutu sin wen natul elos unilya ke cutlass natulos.

And the Lord sent an angel who put to death all the men of war and the chiefs and the captains in the army of the king of Assyria. So he went back to his country in shame. And when he came into the house of his god, his sons, the offspring of his body, put him to death there with the sword.

22 Ouinge LEUM GOD El molella Tokosra Hezekiah ac mwet Jerusalem liki ku lal Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, oayapa liki mwet lokoalok lalos saya. El oru in oasr misla inmasrlon mwet Judah ac mutunfacl nukewa su raunelosla.

So the Lord gave Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem salvation from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from all others, giving them rest on every side.

23 Mwet puspis tuku nu Jerusalem, ac use mwe sang lalos nu sin LEUM GOD, ac mwe lung nu sel Hezekiah. Ouinge ke pacl se inge fahla, mutunfacl nukewa akfulatyal Hezekiah.

And great numbers came to Jerusalem with offerings for the Lord, and things of great price for Hezekiah, king of Judah: so that he was honoured among all nations from that time.

24 In pacl se inge Tokosra Hezekiah el masak ac el apkuran in misa. El pre, ac LEUM GOD El sang sie mwe akul nu sel lah el ac kwela.

In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death; and he made prayer to the Lord, and the Lord in answer gave him a sign.

25 Tusruktu Hezekiah el inse fulatak ac tia lungse akkalemye srui lal ke ma LEUM GOD El oru nu sel, pwanang acn Judah ac Jerusalem akkeokyeyuk kac.

But Hezekiah did not do as had been done to him; for his heart was lifted up in pride; and so wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

26 Na tok, Hezekiah ac mwet Jerusalem elos sifacna akpusiselyalos, ouinge LEUM GOD El tia kalyaelos nwe ke na Hezekiah el misa.

But then, Hezekiah, in sorrow for what he had done, put away his pride; and he and all Jerusalem made themselves low, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in Hezekiah's life-time.

27 Tokosra Hezekiah el arulana kasrupi, ac mwet nukewa akfulatyal. El sap in orekla nien filma nu ke gold, silver, eot saok, mwe akyuye mongo, mwe loeyuk, ac kutu pac ma saok.

And Hezekiah had very great wealth and honour; and he made himself store-houses for his gold and silver and jewels and spices, and for body-covers and all sorts of beautiful vessels.

28 El sap pac in musaiyuk lohm in neinyuk fokin ima, wain, oil in olive, oayapa lohm sin cow, ac kalkal in sheep.

And store-houses for the produce of grain and wine and oil; and buildings for all sorts of beasts and flocks.

29 Sayen ma inge nukewa, God El sang pukanten sheep ac cow natul, wi pac mwe kasrup lulap, pwanang el musaela siti na pukanten.

And he made towns for himself, and got together much property in flocks and herds: for God had given him great wealth.

30 Tokosra Hezekiah pa kosrala Unon in Kof Gihon, ac orala laf soko tuh kof uh in ut ye pot uh yak nu in siti Jerusalem. Hezekiah el kapkapak in ma nukewa el oru.

It was Hezekiah who had the higher spring of the water of Gihon stopped, and the water taken down on the west side of the town of David. In everything he undertook, Hezekiah did well.

31 Finne ke pacl se mwet roso sin leum lun Babylonia elos tuku in lolngok ke ouiya usrnguk se ma tuh sikyak in facl sac, God El lela nu sel Hezekiah in fahsrna ke sulela lal sifacna, tuh Elan srikal ac etu lah fuka ouiyen nunak na pwaye lal.

However, in the business of the representatives sent by the rulers of Babylon to get news of the wonder which had taken place in the land, God gave up guiding him, testing him to see what was in his heart.

32 Ma nukewa saya ma Tokosra Hezekiah el orala, ac lungse lal nu sin LEUM GOD, simla in book se pangpang [Aruruma Lun Mwet Palu Isaiah, Wen Natul Amoz], oayapa ke [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah Ac Israel].

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and the good he did, are recorded in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

33 Hezekiah el misa ac pukpuki ke ipin acn se oan lucng ke kulyuk lun mwet leum. Mwet nukewa lun Judah ac Jerusalem arulana akfulatyal ke pacl se el misa, ac Manasseh, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.

So Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the higher part of the resting-places of the sons of David: and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his place.
