2 Mpanjaka 18
1 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahatelo nanjakan’ i Hosea, zanak’ i Elaha, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no vao nanjakan’ i Hezekia, zanak’ i Ahaza, mpanjakan’ ny Joda.
Now in the third yeere of Hoshea, sonne of Elah King of Israel, Hezekiah the sonne of Ahaz king of Iudah began to reigne.
2 Dimy amby roa-polo taona izy, fony vao nanjaka, ary nanjaka sivy amby roa-polo taona tany Jerosalema izy. Ary ny anaran-dreniny dia Aby, zanakavavin’ i Zakaria.
He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twenty yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Abi the daughter of Zachariah,
3 Ary nanao izay mahitsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy tahaka izay rehetra nataon’ i Davida rainy.
And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
4 Izy no nandrava ny fitoerana avo sy namakivaky ny tsangam-baton-tsampy sy nikapa ny Aserahany ary nanorotoro ny menarana varahina izay nataon’ i Mosesy; fa ny Zanak’ Isiraely efa nandoro ditin-kazo manitra tamin’ iny hatramin’ izany andro izany aza; ary ny anarany nataony hoe Nehostana.
He tooke away the hie places, and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for vnto those dayes the children of Israel did burne incense to it, and hee called it Nehushtan.
5 Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no nitokiany, ka dia tsy nisy tahaka azy tamin’ izay rehetra mpanjakan’ ny Joda, na ny teo aoriany, na ny teo alohany
He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that after him was none like him among all the Kings of Iudah, neither were there any such before him.
6 Fa nifikitra tamin’ i Jehovah izy ka tsy niala tamin’ ny fanarahana Azy, fa nitandrina ny didy izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy.
For he claue to the Lord, and departed not from him, but kept his commandements, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
7 Ary Jehovah nomba azy, ka dia nambinina tamin’ izay nalehany rehetra izy; ary niodina tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria izy ka tsy nanompo azy.
So the Lord was with him, and he prospered in all thinges, which he tooke in hande: also he rebelled against the King of Asshur, and serued him not.
8 Izy no namely ny Filistina hatrany Gaza sy ny fari-taniny, ka noravany avokoa hatramin’ ny tilikambon’ ny mpiambina ka hatramin’ ny tanàna mimànda.
He smote the Philistims vnto Azzah, and the coastes thereof, from the watch towre vnto the defensed citie.
9 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra nanjakan’ i Hezekia mpanjaka (dia ny taona fahafito nanjakan’ i Hosea, zanak’ i Elaha, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, izany) no niakaran’ i Salmanesera mpanjakan’ i Asyria, hamely an’ i Samaria sy nanaovany fahirano azy.
And in the fourth yere of King Hezekiah, (which was the seuenth yeere of Hoshea sonne of Elah King of Israel) Shalmaneser King of Asshur came vp against Samaria, and besieged it.
10 Ary nony tapitra ny telo taona, dia afak’ ireo ny tanàna; dia tamin’ ny taona fahenina nanjakan’ i Hezekia, izay taona fahasivy nanjakan’ i Hosea, mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely, no nahafahana an’ i Samaria.
And after three yeeres they tooke it, euen in the sixt yeere of Hezekiah: that is, the ninth yeere of Hoshea King of Israel was Samaria taken.
11 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nitondra ny Isiraely ho babo tany Asyria ka nametraka azy tao Hala sy teo amoron’ i Habora, onin’ i Gozana, ary teny amin’ ny tanànan’ ny Mediana,
Then the King of Asshur did carry away Israel vnto Asshur, and put them in Halah and in Habor, by the riuer of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
12 Satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny izy, fa nivadika ny fanekeny, dia izay rehetra nandidian’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, ka tsy nihaino na nankato izany izy.
Because they woulde not obey the voyce of the Lord their God, but transgressed his couenant: that is, all that Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded, and would neyther obey nor doe them.
13 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Hezekia mpanjaka dia niakatra Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, hamely ny tanàna mimànda rehetra any Joda ka nahafaka azy.
Moreouer, in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against all the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.
14 Ary Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria tany Lakisy nanao hoe: Efa diso aho, ialao aho, fa izay hampitondrainao ahy dia ho entiko. Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria nampandoa an’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda, talenta volafotsy telon-jato sy talenta volamena telo-polo.
Then Hezekiah King of Iudah sent vnto the King of Asshur to Lachish, saying, I haue offended: depart from me, and what thou layest vpon me, I wil beare it. And the King of Asshur appoynted vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah three hudreth talents of siluer, and thirty talets of golde.
15 Ary Hezekia nanome azy ny volafotsy rehetra izay hita tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah sy tao amin’ ny rakitry ny tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
Therefore Hezekiah gaue all the siluer that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house.
16 Tamin’ izany andro izany no nanendahan’ i Hezekia ny volamena tamin’ ny varavaran’ ny tempolin’ i Jehovah sy tamin’ ny tolana, dia ilay efa napetak’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda; ary dia nomeny ho an’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria izany.
At the same season did Hezekiah pul off the plates of the doores of the Temple of the Lord, and the pillars (which the sayd Hezekiah King of Iudah had couered ouer) and gaue them to the King of Asshur.
17 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria naniraka an’ i Tartana sy Raba-sarisa ary Rabsake mbamin’ ny miaramila betsaka avy teo Lakisy hankany Jerosalema ho any amin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka. Dia niakatra ireny ka tonga tany Jerosalema; ary nony tonga teo izy, dia nitsangana teo anilan’ ny lakan-drano amin’ ny kamory ambony, teo an-dalambe mankamin’ ny sahan’ ny mpamotsy lamba.
And the King of Asshur sent Tartan, and Rab-saris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great hoste against Ierusalem. And they went vp, and came to Ierusalem, and when they were come vp, they stood by the conduite of the vpper poole, which is by the path of the fullers fielde,
18 Ary nony efa niantso ny mpanjaka izy, dia nivoaka ho eo aminy Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia, izay lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary Joa, zanak’ i Asafa, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana.
And called to the King. Then came out to them Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.
19 Dia hoy Rabsake tamin’ ireo: Andeha, lazao amin’ i Hezekia hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka lehibe, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Inona izato itokianao?
And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell ye Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus saith the great King, euen the great King of Asshur, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
20 Hoy ianao (nefa teny foana izany): Manana saina sy hery hiady aho. Koa iza no itokianao, no miodina amiko ianao?
Thou thinkest, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre. On whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
21 Fa, indro, ianao matoky io tehina volotara torotoro io, dia Egypta, nefa raha itehenan’ olona iny, dia manindrona ny tànany miboroaka; tahaka izany Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, amin’ izay rehetra matoky azy.
Lo, thou trustest now in this broken staffe of reede, to wit, on Egypt, on which if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt vnto all that trust on him.
22 Ary raha hoy ianareo amiko: Jehovah Andriamanitray no itokianay, moa tsy Azy va ny fitoerana avo aman’ alitara izay noravan’ i Hezekia, izay nilaza tamin’ ny Joda sy Jerosalema hoe: Eto anoloan’ ity alitara eto Jerosalema ity no hiankohofanareo?
But if ye say vnto me, We trust in the Lord our God, is not that he whose hie places, and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath sayd to Iudah and Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Ierusalem?
23 Koa aoka hifaninana ianao sy ny tompoko, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, fa homeko soavaly roa arivo ianao, raha tàhiny manana olona hitaingina azy.
Now therefore giue hostages to my lord the King of Asshur, and I will giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set riders vpon them.
24 Hataonao ahoana no fampiamboho ny komandy iray amin’ ny mpanompon’ ny tompoko, na dia izay kely indrindra aminy aza? Nefa matoky an’ i Egypta ianao hahazoanao kalesy sy mpitaingin-tsoavaly.
For how canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my masters seruants, and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and horsemen?
25 Koa moa haitraitro va izao niakarako izao? Tsia, fa Jehovah no naniraka ahy handrava ity tany ity ka nanao hoe: Miakara hamely ity tany ity, ka ravao izy.
Am I now come vp without the Lord to this place, to destroy it? the Lord sayd to me, Goe vp against this land, and destroy it.
26 Dia hoy Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia, sy Sebna ary Joa tamin-dRabsake: Masìna ianao, teny Syriana no ataovy aminay mpanomponao, fa fantatray ihany izany; fa aza manao teny Jiosy ho ren’ ny olona eny ambonin’ ny mànda.
Then Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Ioah said vnto Rabshakeh, Speake I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, for we vnderstand it, and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
27 Fa hoy Rabsake taminy: Moa ho amin’ ny tomponao sy ianao akory va no nanirahan’ ny tompoko ahy hilaza izao teny izao, fa tsy ho amin’ ny olona izay mipetraka eny ambonin’ ny manda, hihinanany izay tsy fihinany sy hisotroany izay tsy fisotrony miaraka aminareo?
But Rabshakeh saide vnto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speake these words, and not to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?
28 Dia nijoro teo Rabsake ka niantso tamin’ ny feo mahery tamin’ ny teny Jiosy hoe: Henoy ny tenin’ ny mpanjaka lehibe, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria:
So Rabshakeh stoode and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and spake, saying, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the king of Asshur.
29 Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Aza mety ho fitahin’ i Hezekia ianareo, fa tsy hahavonjy anareo amin’ ny tanako izy tsy akory.
Thus sayth the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you out of mine hand.
30 Ary aza mety hampahatokin’ i Hezetia an’ i Jehovah ianareo amin’ ny anaovany hoe: Jehovah no hamonjy antsika tokoa; ary tsy hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria tsy akory ity tanàna ity.
Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs, and this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the king of Asshur.
31 Aza mihaino an’ i Hezekia; fa izao no lazain’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Manaova fanekena amiko hiadanana, ka mankanesa atỳ amiko, ary samia homana ny voalobony sy ny aviaviny, ary samia misotro ny rano avy amin’ ny lavaka famorian-dranony avy ianareo,
Hearken not vnto Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne figge tree, and drinke euery man of the water of his owne well,
32 mandra-pihaviko hitondra anareo ho any amin’ izay tany tahaka ny taninareo, dia tany misy vary sy ranom-boaloboka, tany misy mofo sy tanim-boaloboka, tany misy oliva tsara diloilo sy tantely, mba ho velona ianareo, fa tsy ho faty, ary aza mihaino an’ i Hezekia, raha izy manome vohony anareo amin’ ny anaovany hoe: Jehovah no hamonjy antsika.
Till I come, and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes, a lande of oliues oyle, and hony, that ye may liue and not die: and obey not Hezekiah, for he deceiueth you, saying, The Lord will deliuer vs.
33 Moa nisy nahavonjy ny taniny tamin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria va ireo andriamanitry ny firenena?
Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his lande out of the hand of the King of Asshur?
34 Aiza moa ireo andriamanitr’ i Hamata sy Arpada? Ary aiza koa ireo andriamanitr’ i Sefarvaima sy Hena ary Iva? Nahavonjy an’ i Samaria tamin’ ny tanako va ireo andriamaniny?
Where is the god of Hamah, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? how haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?
35 Iza moa amin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra amin’ ny tany no efa nahavonjy ny taniny tamin’ ny tanako, koa aiza no hahavonjen’ i Jehovah an’ i Jerosalema amin’ ny tanako?
Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that haue deliuered their lande out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?
36 Nefa nangina ny olona, ka tsy nisy namaly azy na dia teny indraim-bava akory aza, satria ny mpanjaka efa nandidy hoe: Aza misy mamaly azy.
But the people helde their peace, and answered not him a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere ye him not.
37 Ary Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia izay lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary Joa, zanak’ i Asafa, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana, dia niditra nankao amin’ i Hezekia, sady voatriatra ny fitafiany, ary nilaza taminy ny tenin-dRabsake izy.
Then Eliakim, the sonne of Hilkiah which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
