2 Mpanjaka 19
1 Ary raha nandre izany Hezekia mpanjaka, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy sady nitafy lamba fisaonana ka lasa niditra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah,
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into Yahweh’s house.
2 Ary izy naniraka an’ i Eliatima, lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona samy nitafy lamba fisaonana hankany amin’ Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza.
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 Ary hoy ireo taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Hezekia: Andro fahoriana sy famaizana ary fanalam-baraka ity andro ity; fa mby ao am-piterahana ny zaza, nefa tsy misy hery hiterahana azy.
They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.
4 Angamba ho ren’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny teny rehetra nataon-dRabsake, izay nirahin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria tompony hihaika an’ Andriamanitra velona, ka mba hovaliany izy noho ny teniny izay efa ren’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; koa aingao ny vavakao hamonjy izay mbola sisa.
It may be Yahweh your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
5 Dia nankany amin’ Isaia ny mpanompon’ i Hezekia mpanjaka.
So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Ary hoy Isaia taminy: Ambarao amin’ ny tomponareo hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza matahotra ny teny efa renao, dia izay nanompan’ iretsy ankizilahin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria iretsy Ahy.
Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master this: ‘Yahweh says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Fa, indro, Izaho efa hanisy fanahy ao anatiny, ary hahare siosio izy ka hiverina ho any amin’ ny taniny, dia hataoko lavon-tsabatra any an-taniny izy.
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
8 Dia niverina Rabsake ka nankany Libna, izay nataon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria fahirano tamin’ izay, satria efa reny fa efa niala tany Lakisy ny mpanjaka.
So Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Ary nony ren’ i Sankeriba ny amin’ i Tiraka, mpanjakan’ i Etiopia, nanao hoe: Indro, avy hiady aminao izy, dia naniraka olona indray ho any amin’ i Hezekia izy nanao hoe:
When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “Behold, he has come out to fight against you,” he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda: Aza mety hofitahin’ ny Andriamanitrao Izay itokianao ianao hoe: Jerosalema tsy hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
“Tell Hezekiah king of Judah this: ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Indro, ianao efa nandre izay nataon’ ireo mpanjakan’ i Asyria tamin’ ny tany rehetra, dia ny nandravany azy; ka ianao kosa va no ho voavonjy?
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you be delivered?
12 Moa nahavonjy azy va ireo andriamanitry ny firenena noravan’ ny razako, dia Gozana sy Harana sy Razefa ary ny taranak’ i Edena, izay tao Telasara?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed—Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
13 Aiza ny mpanjakan’ i Hamata sy ny mpanjakan’ i Arpada ary ny mpanjakan’ ny tanàna Sefarvaima sy Hena ary Iva?
Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
14 Dia noraisin’ i Hezekia tamin’ ny tanan’ ny iraka ny taratasy ka novakiny, dia niakatra nankao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy ka namelatra iny teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Yahweh’s house, and spread it before Yahweh.
15 Ary Hezekia nivavaka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Ry Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, Izay mipetraka amin’ ny kerobima, Hianao dia Hianao irery ihany no Andriamanitry ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, fa Hianao no nanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
Hezekiah prayed before Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, who are enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
16 Atongilano ny sofinao, Jehovah ô, ka mihainoa; ahirato ny masonao, Jehovah ô, ka mijere, ary mandrenesa ny tenin’ i Sankeriba, izay nampitondrainy hihaika an’ Andriamanitra velona.
Incline your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to defy the living God.
17 Jehovah ô, marina ihany tokoa fa ireo mpanjakan’ i Asyria dia efa nandrava ny jentilisa sy ny taniny
Truly, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18 ary efa nanary ny andriamaniny tao anaty afo, satria tsy Andriamanitra ireny, fa asan’ ny tànan’ olona ihany, dia hazo sy vato; ka dia azony nosimbana.
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.
19 Koa ankehitriny, Jehovah Andriamanitray ô, mitaraina aminao aho, vonjeo izahay amin’ ny tànany, mba hahafantaran’ ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany fa Hianao dia Hianao irery ihany, Jehovah ô, no Andriamanitra.
Now therefore, Yahweh our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Yahweh, are God alone.”
20 Ary Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, dia naniraka hankany amin’ i Hezekia, nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ilay fitarainana nataonao tamiko ny amin’ i Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, dia efa nohenoiko.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says ‘You have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, and I have heard you.
21 Koa izao no teny nolazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Sankeriba: Manao tsinontsinona sy mandatsalatsa anao Ziona, zanakavavy virijina: Mihifikifi-doha mahita anao mandositra Jerosalema zanakavavy.
This is the word that Yahweh has spoken concerning him: ‘The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
22 Fa iza no nohaikainao sy nompanao? Ary hanohitra an’ iza no nanandratanao ny feonao sy nampiandrandranao ny masonao any ambony hanohitra ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
Whom have you defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 Ny irakao no nihaikanao ny Tompo hoe: Tamin’ ny kalesiko maro no niakarako tany an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra, tao afovoan’ i Libanona, ary hokapaiko ny sedera avo sy ny kypreso voafantina; dia hiditra any amin’ ny faran’ ny azo iakarana ao aho sy any amin’ ny alany midokadoka.
By your messengers, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon, and I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
24 Izaho no nihady ka nisotro rano vao niseho, ary ny faladiako no handritako ny ony mbamin’ ny lahin-drano rehetra any Egypta.
I have dug and drunk strange waters, and I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt with the sole of my feet.”
25 Tsy mbola renao va, hoy Jehovah, fa hatry ny fony ela no nanomanako izany, ary hatramin’ ny andro taloha no nikasako izany? ankehitriny dia efa nahatanteraka izany Aho, ka dia nandrava tanàna mimanda ho tonga korontam-bato ianao.
Haven’t you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
26 Ary efa tsy nahatohitra ny mponina any, sady raiki-tahotra no mangaihay izy; efa tahaka ny ahitra any an-tsaha izy ary tahaka ny ahi-maitso sy ny ahitra eo amin’ ny tampon-trano, ary tahaka ny vary maty raha vao mitsiry.
Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops and like grain blasted before it has grown up.
27 Fa samy fantatro avokoa ny ipetrahanao sy ny ivoahanao sy ny idiranao ary ny fahatezeranao amiko.
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
28 Satria efa tezitra amiko ianao, ary efa tonga ato an-tsofiko ny fireharehanao, dia hasiako ny masom-biko ny oronao, ary hasiako ny lamboridiko ny vavanao, ary hampivereniko amin’ ny lalana izay nihavianao ianao.
Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.’
29 Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao kosa: Hihinana ny maniry ho azy avy tamin’ ny voa mihintsana ianareo iray taona, ary amin’ ny taona manaraka dia ny kolokolon’ izany, fa amin’ ny taona fahatelo kosa dia mamafaza ianareo, ka mijinjà, ary manaova tanim-boaloboka, ka mihinàna izay vokatra eo.
“This will be the sign to you: This year, you will eat that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from that; and in the third year sow and reap, and plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
30 Ary izay sisa amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia mbola hamaka lalindalina kokoa sady hisondrotra hamoa.
The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 Fa hisy sisa hiseho avy any Jerosalema sy sisa afaka avy any an-tendrombohitra Ziona; ny fahasaro-piaron’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hanao izany.
For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. Yahweh’s zeal will perform this.
32 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Tsy ho tafiditra amin’ ity tanàna ity izy, na handefa zana-tsipìka ho ato, na hitondra ampinga eo anoloany, na hanandratra tovon-tany hamelezany ity.
“Therefore Yahweh says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there. He will not come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
33 Ny lalana izay nihaviany ihany no hiverenany, fa tsy ho tafiditra amin’ ity tanàna ity izy, hoy Jehovah.
He will return the same way that he came, and he will not come to this city,’ says Yahweh.
34 Fa hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho ka hamonjy azy noho ny amin’ ny tenako sy Davida mpanompoko.
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for my servant David’s sake.’”
35 Ary tamin’ ny alin’ io dia avy ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah ka namely olona dimy arivo amby valo alina sy iray hetsy tao an-tobin’ ny Asyriana; ary nony maraina koa vao nifoha olona, dia hita fa, indreo, efa maty avokoa ireo.
That night, Yahweh’s angel went out and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
36 Dia niainga Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka lasa nody ary nitoetra tany Ninive.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went home, and lived at Nineveh.
37 Ary raha niankohoka tao an-tranon’ i Nisroka andriamaniny izy, dia nasian’ i Adrameleka sy Sarezera zananilahy ny sabatra izy; ary dia afaka nandositra nankany amin’ ny tany Ararata izy mirahalahy. Ary Esara-hadona zananilahy no nanjaka nandimby azy.
As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
