Isaia 36
1 Ary tamin’ ny taona fahefatra ambin’ ny folo nanjakan’ i Hezekia mpanjaka dia niakatra Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, hamely ny tanàna mimanda rehetra any Joda ka nahafaka azy.
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
2 Ary ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria naniraka an-dRabsake mbamin’ ny miaramila betsaka avy teo Lakisy hankany Jerosalema ho any amin’ i Hezekia mpanjaka. Dia nitsangana teo anilan’ ny lakan-drano amin’ ny kamory ambony izy, teo an-dalambe mankamin’ ny sahan’ ny mpamotsy lamba.
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
3 Ary Eliakima, zanak’ i Hilkia, izay lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary Joa, zanak’ i Asafa, mpitadidy ny raharaham-panjakana, dia nivoaka ho ao aminy.
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah came forth to him, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.
4 Dia hoy Rabsake tamin’ ireo: Andeha, lazao amin’ i Hezekia hoe: Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka lehibe, dia ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Inona moa izato itokianao?
And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trust?
5 Hoy izaho: Teny foana ny hoe: Manana saina sy hery hiady aho. Fa iza no itokianao, no miodina amiko ianao?
I say, thy counsel and strength for the war are but vain words. Now on whom do thou trust that thou have rebelled against me?
6 Indro, ianao matoky io tehina volotara torotoro io, dia Egypta, nefa raha itehenan’ olona io, dia manindrona ny tànany miboroaka; eny, tahaka izany Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, amin’ izay rehetra matoky azy.
Behold, thou trust upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
7 Fa raha hoy ianao 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 ity no hiankohofanareo?
But if thou say to me, We trust in Jehovah our God. Is that not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8 Koa aoka hifaninana ianao sy ny tompoko, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, fa homeko soavaly roa arivo ianao, raha tàhiny manana olona hitaingina azy.
Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
9 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?
How then can thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
10 Koa moa haitraitro va izao niakarako izao? Tsia, fa Jehovah no naniraka ahy handrava ity tany ity ka nanao hoe: Miakara ho amin’ izany tany izany, ka ravao izy.
And have I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
11 Dia hoy Eliakima sy Sebna ary Joa tamin-dRabsake: Masìna ianao, teny Syriana no ataovy amin’ ny mpanomponao, fa fantatray ihany izany; fa aza manao teny Jiosy ho ren’ ny olona eny ambonin’ ny manda.
Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. And speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall.
12 Fa hoy Rabsake: Moa ho amin’ ny tomponao sy ianao va no nanirahan’ ny tompoko hilaza izany teny izany, 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 said, Has my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?
13 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.
Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14 Izao no lazain’ ny mpanjaka: Aza mety hofitahin’ i Hezekia ianareo; fa tsy hahavonjy anareo izy tsy akory.
Thus says the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you.
15 Ary aza mety hampahatokin’ i Hezekia 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 trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us. This city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16 Aza mihaino an’ i Hezekia ianareo; fa izao no lazain’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Manaova fanekena amiko hiadananareo, 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 to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me, and eat ye everyone of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and drink ye everyone the waters of his own cistern,
17 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.
until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 Aza mety homen’ i Hezekia vohony ianareo amin’ ny anaovany hoe: Jehovah no hamonjy antsika. Moa nisy nahavonjy ny taniny tamin’ ny tanan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria va ireo andriamanitry ny firenena ireo?
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 Aiza moa ny andriamanitr’ i Hamata sy Arpada? Ary aiza koa ny andriamanitr’ i Sefarvaima? Nahavonjy an’ i Samaria tamin’ ny tanako va ireo andriamaniny?
Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20 Iza moa amin’ ny andriamanitra rehetra amin’ ireo tany ireo 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 these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 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 they held their peace, and answered him not a word. For the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
22 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 son of Hilkiah came, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
