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, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and camped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.
2 Ary nony hitan’ i Hezekia fa tonga Sankeriba ka nikasa hamely an’ i Jerosalema,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he intended to fight against Jerusalem,
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.
he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the springs which were outside of the city; and they helped 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 people gathered together, and they stopped all the springs, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, "Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find 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.
He took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised towers upon it, and the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.
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:
He set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke comfortably to 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 courageous, do not be afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater with us than 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 arm of flesh; but with us is YHWH our God to help us, and to fight our battles." The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
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, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 Izao nolazain’ i Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Inona izato itokianareo, no dia miaritra fahoriana ato Jerosalema ianareo?
Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, "In whom do you trust, that you remain under siege in Jerusalem?
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?
Doesn't Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, 'YHWH our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?'
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?
Hasn't the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, 'You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense?'
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?
Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any way able to deliver their land out of my hand?
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 was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my 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?
Now therefore do not let Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this way, neither believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand?"
16 Ary ny mpanompon’ i Sankeriba mbola niteny ratsy an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitra sy Hezekia mpanompony,
His servants spoke yet more against YHWH God, and against his servant 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 also wrote letters insulting YHWH, the God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, "As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand."
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.
They cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
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.
They spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.
20 Ary noho izany dia nivavaka Hezekia mpanjaka sy Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza, ka nitaraina tamin’ ny lanitra.
Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.
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.
YHWH sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. When he had come into the house of his god, some of his own offspring killed him there with the sword.
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.
Thus YHWH 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 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.
Many brought gifts to YHWH to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
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 days Hezekiah was sick even to death: and he prayed to YHWH; and he spoke to him, and gave him a sign.
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 again according to the benefit done to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath on him, and on Judah and Jerusalem.
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 himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of YHWH did not come on them in the days 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 had a very great amount of riches and honor: and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all kinds of goodly 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.
storehouses also for the increase of grain and new wine and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
29 Ary nanao tanàna maro ho azy koa izy sady nanana ondry aman’ osy ary omby betsaka, fa nomen’ Andriamanitra fananana be indrindra izy.
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance.
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 upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the City of David. Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
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.
However concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, look, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, in the book of the kings of Judah 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.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the tombs of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
