2 Tantara 32

1 Ary rehefa afaka izany raharaha marina izany, dia avy Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, niditra tany Joda ary nanao fahirano ny tanàna mimanda ka nikasa hanafaka azy.

After these things faithfully described, Saneherib King of Asshur came and entred into Iudah, and besieged the strong cities, and thought to winne them for him selfe.

2 Ary nony hitan’ i Hezekia fa tonga Sankeriba ka nikasa hamely an’ i Jerosalema,

When Hezekiah sawe that Saneherib was come, and that his purpose was to fight against Ierusalem,

3 dia niara-nihevitra tamin’ ny mpanapaka sy ny lehilahy mahery izy mba hanampina ny rano tamin’ ny loharano eny ivelan’ ny tanàna; ary nanampy azy ireo.

Then he tooke counsell with his princes and his nobles, to stoppe the water of the fountaines without the citie: and they did helpe him.

4 Dia nivory ny olona maro ka nanampina ny loharano rehetra sy ilay renirano mamaky eo afovoan’ ny tany, fa hoy izy: Nahoana no avela hahita rano be ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria, raha avy?

So many of the people assembled themselues, and stopt all the fountaines, and the riuer that ranne through the middes of the countrey, saying, Why should the Kings of Asshur come, and finde much water?

5 Dia nohereziny namboariny avokoa izay rava tamin’ ny manda sady nasiany tilikambo teny amboniny sy manda hafa koa teo ivelany, dia namboatra an’ i Milo tao an-tanànan’ i Davida sady nanao lefona aman’ ampinga betsaka izy.

And he tooke courage, and built all the broken wall, and made vp the towers, and another wall without, and repayred Millo in the citie of Dauid, and made many dartes and shields.

6 Ary nanendry mpifehy miaramila hifehy ny olona izy ka nampiangona azy hankeo aminy teo an-kalalahana akaikin’ ny vavahadin’ ny tanàna, dia nanao teny famporisihana taminy hoe:

And he set captaines of warre ouer the people, and assembled them to him in the broade place of the gate of the citie, and spake comfortably vnto them, saying,

7 Mahereza ka matanjaha; aza matahotra na mivadi-po noho ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria sy ny hamaroan’ ny olona rehetra izay entiny; fa ny momba antsika dia be noho ny momba azy.

Be strong and couragious: feare not, neither be afraide for the King of Asshur, neither for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with vs, then is with him.

8 Sandry nofo no momba azy, fa Jehovah Andriamanitsika kosa no momba antsika hamonjy antsika ka hiady ny adintsika. Ary dia niankina tamin’ ny tenin’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, ny olona.

With him is an arme of flesh, but with vs is the Lord our God for to helpe vs, and to fight our battels. Then the people were confirmed by the wordes of Hezekiah King of Iudah.

9 Rehefa afaka izany, dia nirahin’ i Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ny mpanompony hankany Jerosalema (fa izy sy ny miaramilany rehetra kosa nanao fahirano an’ i Lakisy tamin’ izay) ho any amin’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, sy ho any amin’ ny Joda rehetra izay tany Jerosalema ka nanao hoe:

After this, did Saneherib King of Asshur send his seruants to Ierusalem (while he was against Lachish, and all his dominion with him) vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah and vnto all Iudah that were at Ierusalem, saying,

10 Izao nolazain’ i Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Inona izato itokianareo, no dia miaritra fahoriana ato Jerosalema ianareo?

Thus saith Saneherib the King of Asshur, Wherein doe ye trust, that ye will remaine in Ierusalem, during the siege?

11 Tsy Hezekia ihany va no manambosy anareo hanole-tena ho faty mosary sy hetaheta ka anao hoe: Jehovah Andriamanitsika hamonjy antsika amin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Syria?

Doeth not Hezekiah entice you to giue ouer your selues vnto death by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliuer vs out of the hande of the King of Asshur?

12 Tsy io Hezekia io ihany koa va no nandrava ny fitoerana avony sy ny alitarany ary nandidy ny Joda sy Jerosalema ka nanao hoe: Eo anoloan’ ny alitara iray no iankohofanareo sy handoroanareo ditin-kazo manitra?

Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his hie places and his altars, and commanded Iudah and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall worshippe before one altar, and burne incense vpon it?

13 Tsy fantatrareo va izay nataoko, dia izaho sy ny razako, tamin’ ny firenena rehetra tany amin’ ny tany hafa? Moa ireny andriamanitry ny firenena tany amin’ ny tany hafa ireny va nisy nahavonjy ny taniny akory tamin’ iny tanako?

Knowe ye not what I and my fathers haue done vnto all the people of other countreyes? were the gods of the nations of other landes able to deliuer their land out of mine hande?

14 Iza amin’ ny andriamanitr’ ireo firenena efa naringan’ ny razako ireo no nahavonjy ny olony tamin’ ny tanako, ka dia hahavonjy anareo amin’ ny tanako va ny Andriamanitrareo?

Who is he of al the gods of those natios (that my fathers haue destroied) that could deliuer his people out of mine hande? that your God should be able to deliuer you out of mine hand?

15 Koa ankehitriny, aza avela hamitaka anareo Hezekia, na hitaona anareo tahaka izao; aza mino azy ianareo; fa tsy nisy andriamanitra tany amin’ ny firenena sy ny fanjakana rehetra izay nahavonjy ny olony tamin’ ny tanako sy ny tanan’ ny razako; koa aiza ny Andriamanitrareo no hahavonjy anareo amin’ ny tanako?

Nowe therefore let not Hezekiah deceiue you, nor seduce you after this sort, neither beleeue ye him: for none of all the gods of any nation or kingdome was able to deliuer his people out of mine hande and out of the hande of my fathers: howe much lesse shall your gods deliuer you out of mine hande?

16 Ary ny mpanompon’ i Sankeriba mbola niteny ratsy an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra sy Hezekia mpanompony,

And his seruants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his seruant Hezekiah.

17 sady nanoratra taratasy hihaika an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, sy hiteny ratsy Azy ka nanao hoe: Tahaka ny tsy nahavonien’ ireny andriamanitry ny firenena tany amin’ ny tany hafa ny olony tamin’ ny tanako no tsy hahavonjen’ ny Andriamanitr’ i Hezekia ny olony koa amin’ ny tanako.

He wrote also letters, blaspheming the Lord God of Israel and speaking against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other countreies could not deliuer their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliuer his people out of mine hande.

18 Dia niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery izy ka nanao teny Jiosy teo anatrehan’ ny mponina tany Jerosalema izay teny ambonin’ ny manda hampitahorany sy hampangorohoroany azy mba hahafahany ny tanàna.

Then they cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes speach vnto the people of Ierusalem that were on the wall, to feare them and to astonish them, that they might take the citie.

19 Ary Andriamanitr’ i Jerosalema koa dia mba nolazainy toy ny filazàny ireny andriamanitry ny firenena tany amin’ ny tany hafa ireny, izay asan’ tànan’ olona ihany.

Thus they spake against the God of Ierusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, euen the workes of mans hands,

20 Ary noho izany dia nivavaka Hezekia mpanjaka sy Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza, ka nitaraina tamin’ ny lanitra.

But Hezekiah the King, and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz prayed against this and cryed to heauen.

21 Ary Jehovah naniraka anjely izay nandringana ny lehilahy mahery rehetra sy ny mpanapaka ary ny komandy teo an-tobin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka dia lasa nody amin-kenatra Sankeriba. Ary nony niditra tao an-tranon’ ny andriamaniny izy, dia namono azy tao tamin’ ny sabatra ny zanany naterany.

And the Lord sent an Angel which destroyed all the valiant men, and the princes and captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur: so he returned with shame to his owne lande. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came foorth of his owne bowels, slewe him there with the sworde.

22 Toy izany no namonjen’ i Jehovah an’ i Hezekia sy ny mponina tany Jerosalema tamin’ ny tànan’ i Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, sy tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony rehetra; eny, niaro azy tamin’ ny manodidina rehetra Izy.

So the Lord saued Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem from the hande of Saneherib King of Asshur, and from the hande of all other, and maintained them on euery side.

23 Ary ny maro nitondra fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah tany Jerosalema sy zava-tsoa ho an’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; dia nalaza teo imason’ ny firenena rehetra izy hatramin’ izany.

And many brought offrings vnto the Lord to Ierusalem, and presents to Hezekiah King of Iudah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thencefoorth.

24 Tamin’ izany andro izany dia narary efa saiky maty Hezekia, koa dia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah izy, ary Jehovah niteny taminy ka nanome azy famantarana.

In those dayes Hezekiah was sicke vnto the death, and prayed vnto the Lord, who spake vnto him, and gaue him a signe.

25 Fa Hezekia tsy mba namaly araka izay soa efa natao taminy; fa niavonavona ny fony, dia niharan’ ny fahatezerana izy mbamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema.

But Hezekiah did not render according to the rewarde bestowed vpon him: for his heart was lift vp, and wrath came vpon him, and vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.

26 Kanefa Hezekia nanetry tena noho ilay efa niavonavonan’ ny fony, dia izy sy ny mponina tany Jerosalema, ka dia tsy niharan’ ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah ireo fahavelon’ i Hezekia.

Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled him selfe (after that his heart was lifted vp) he and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the wrath of the Lord came not vpon them in the dayes of Hezekiah.

27 Ary Hezekia nanana harena sy voninahitra be indrindra; dia nanao trano firaketana izy hitehirizany ny volafotsy sy ny volamena sy ny vato soa sy ny zava-manitra sy ny ampinga mbamin’ izay fanaka tsara rehetra,

Hezekiah also had exceeding much riches and honour, and he gate him treasures of siluer, and of golde, and of precious stones, and of sweete odours, and of shieldes, and of all pleasant vessels:

28 ary tanàna fitehirizana ny vokatra koa, dia ny vary sy ny ranom-boaloboka ary ny diloilo, sy trano miefitrefitra hitoeran’ ny biby fiompy samy hafa karazana ary vala hitoeran’ ny ondry aman’ osy.

And of store houses for the increase of wheat and wine and oyle, and stalles for all beasts, and rowes for the stables.

29 Ary nanao tanàna maro ho azy koa izy sady nanana ondry aman’ osy ary omby betsaka, fa nomen’ Andriamanitra fananana be indrindra izy.

And he made him cities, and had possession of sheepe and oxen in abundance: for God had giuen him substance exceeding much.

30 Ary notampenan’ io Hezekia io ny fivoahan’ ny rano ambony any Gihona ka nampandehaniny tany ambanin’ ny tany hidina mahitsy ho any andrefan’ ny Tanànan’ i Davida izany. Ary nambinina tamin’ ny asany rehetra Hezekia.

This same Hezekiah also stopped the vpper water springs of Gihon, and led them streight vnderneath towarde the citie of Dauid Westwarde. so Hezekiah prospered in all his workes.

31 Nefa noho ny amin’ ny irak’ ireo mpanapaka tany Babylona, izay naniraka tany aminy mba hanontany ny amin’ ny zava-mahagaga natao teo amin’ ny tany, dia nilaozan’ Andriamanitra izy, mba hizahany toetra azy hahalalany izay rehetra ao am-pony.

But because of the ambassadours of the princes of Babel, which sent vnto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the lande, God left him to trie him, and to knowe all that was in his heart.

32 Ary ny tantaran’ i Hezekia sisa mbamin’ ny soa nataony, indro, efa voasoratra ao amin’ ny fahitan’ Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza, sy ao amin’ ny bokin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny Joda sy ny Isiraely izany.

Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and his goodnesse, beholde, they are written in the vision of Ishiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz, in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.

33 Ary Hezekia lasa nodi-mandry any amin’ ny razany, dia nalevina tao amin’ ny fiakarana ho any amin’ ny fasan’ ny zanak’ i Davida izy; ary ny Joda rehetra sy ny mponina rehetra tany Jerosalema nanome voninahitra azy tamin’ ny nahafatesany. Ary Manase zanany no nanjaka nandimby azy.

So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the highest sepulchre of the sonnes of Dauid: and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his stead.
