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.
After these things and these acts of faithfulness, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came and entered Judah. He camped to attack the fortified cities, which he intended to capture for himself.
2 Ke Hezekiah el akilen lah Sennacherib el akoo in mweuni pac acn Jerusalem,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to fight 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 consulted with his leaders and his powerful men to stop up the waters of the springs that were outside the city; they helped him do so.
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 many people gathered together and stopped up all the springs and the stream that was flowing through the middle of the land. They said, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find a lot of 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.
Hezekiah took courage and built up all the wall that was broken down. He built the towers higher, and also the other wall outside. He also strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and he made large amounts of weapons and shields.
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,
He placed military commanders over the people. He gathered them together to him in the broad place at the city gate and spoke encouragingly to them. He said,
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 of good courage. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and all the army that is with him, for someone is with us who is greater than those with him.
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 only an arm of flesh, but with us is Yahweh, our God, to help us, and to fight our battles.” Then the people comforted themselves with the words of Hezekiah, king of Judah.
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 (now he was in front of Lachish, and all his army was with him), to Hezekiah, king of Judah, and to all of Judah who were in Jerusalem. He said,
10 “Nga, Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, siyuk lah mea kowos lulalfongi pwanang kowos mutana Jerusalem, ke nga akola in mweuni kowos uh?
“This is what Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says: What are you relying on in order to endure a siege in 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 not Hezekiah misleading you, that he may give you over to die by famine and by thirst, when he tells you, 'Yahweh our God will rescue us from the hand 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 and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, 'On one altar you must worship, and on it you must burn your sacrifices'?
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?
Do you not know what I and my ancestors have done to all the peoples of the other lands? Were the gods of the peoples of the surrounding lands able in any way to rescue their land from my power?
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?
Among all the gods of those nations that my ancestors completely destroyed, was there any god who could rescue his people out of my hand? Why should your God be able to rescue you from my power?
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!”
Now do not let Hezekiah deceive you or persuade you in this way. Do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom has been able to rescue his people out of my hand, or out of the hand of my ancestors. How much less will your God rescue you from my hand?”
16 Mwet pwapa lun mwet Assyria elos fahk ma koluk na yohk ke LEUM GOD ac kacl Hezekiah, mwet kulansap lun LEUM GOD.
Sennacherib's servants spoke even more against Yahweh 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.”
Sennacherib also wrote letters in order to mock Yahweh, the God of Israel, and to speak against him. He said, “As the gods of the nations of the lands have not rescued their people out of my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not rescue his people out of my hand.”
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.
They cried out in the language of the Jews to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and trouble them, in order that they might capture the city.
19 Elos kaskas ke God lun Jerusalem oana ke elos kaskas ke god lun mutunfacl saya, su ma sruloala orekla ke poun mwet.
They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as they had spoken of the gods of the other peoples of the earth, which are merely 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.
Hezekiah, the king, and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed because of this matter and he cried 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.
Yahweh sent an angel, who killed the fighting men, the commanders, and the officers of the king in the camp. So Sennacherib returned to his own land with shame on his face. When he had gone into the house of his god, some of his own children killed him 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.
In this way, Yahweh saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all others, and gave 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.
Many were bringing offerings to Yahweh in Jerusalem, and precious gifts to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was lifted up in the eyes of all nations from that time forward.
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 sick to the point of dying. He prayed to Yahweh, who spoke to him and gave him a sign that he would be healed.
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 pay back Yahweh for the help given to him, for his heart was lifted up. So anger 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.
Nevertheless, Hezekiah later humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that Yahweh's anger did not come on them during Hezekiah's days.
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.
Hezekiah had very many riches and much honor. He provided himself with storerooms for silver, gold, precious stones, and for spices, as well as for shields and for all kinds of valuable objects.
28 El sap pac in musaiyuk lohm in neinyuk fokin ima, wain, oil in olive, oayapa lohm sin cow, ac kalkal in sheep.
He also had storehouses for the harvest of grain, new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of animals. He also had flocks in their pens.
29 Sayen ma inge nukewa, God El sang pukanten sheep ac cow natul, wi pac mwe kasrup lulap, pwanang el musaela siti na pukanten.
In addition, he provided himself with cities and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God had given him very much 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 this same Hezekiah who also stopped up the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and who brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. Hezekiah succeeded in all his projects.
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 matter of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to ask questions of those who knew, about the miraculous sign that had been done in the land, God left him to himself, in order to test him, and to know all that 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].
As for the other matters concerning Hezekiah, including his actions of covenant loyalty, you can see that they are written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah 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.
Hezekiah slept with his ancestors, and they buried him on the hill of the tombs of the descendants of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. Manasseh his son became king in his place.
