1 Ie añe i fitoloñañe naho figahiñañe izay, le pok’ eo t’i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore naname Iehodà le nañarikatoke o rova fatratseo vaho naereñere’e ty hiboroboñak’ ao am-bata’e.
And after these things and this faithful dealing, came Sennacherim king of the Assyrians, and he came to Juda, and encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to take them for himself.
2 Aa ie nioni’ Iekizkia te pok’ eo t’i Senakeribe, misafiry ty hialy am’ Ierosa­laime,
And Ezekias saw that Sennacherim was come, and [that] his face [was set] to fight against Jerusalem.
3 le nilahatse amo roandriañeo naho amo fanalolahio ty hamempeañe o rano migoangoañe alafe’ i rovaio vaho nañolots’ aze iereo.
And he took counsel with his elders and his mighty [men] to stop the wells of water which were without the city: and they helped him.
4 Aa le maro t’indaty nivory nampizenjeñe o rano migoangoañeo naho i torahañe niranga i taney, ami’ty hoe: Aa vaho homb’ etoa hao o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo hañisake rano maro?
And he collected many people, and stopped the wells of water, and the river that flowed through the city, saying, Lest the king of Assyria come, and find much water, and strengthen [himself].
5 Nañosi-batan-dre namboatse i nirobak’ amy kijoliy naho nampitroatse fitalakesañ’ abo ama’e naho i kijoly alafe’ey naho nifatrare’e ty Milo an-drova’ i Davide ao vaho niranjie’e fialiañe naho aron-defo tsifotofoto.
And Ezekias strengthened [himself], and built all the wall that had been pulled down, and the towers, and another wall in front without, and fortified the strong place of the city of David, and prepared arms in abundance.
6 Le nampijadoña’e am’ondatio ty mpiaolo añ’aly naho nampi­voria’e an-tane midañadaña an-dalambei’ i rovay vaho nisaontsy fañosihañe am’ iereo ami’ty hoe:
And he appointed captains of war over the people, and they were gathered to [meet] him to the open place of the gate of the valley, and he encouraged them, saying,
7 Mihafatrara naho mahasibeha, ko hembañe, ko miroreke amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey, ndra i valobohòke mindre ama’ey, amy te bey i aman-tikañey ta i ama’ey;
Be strong and courageous, and fear not, neither be dismayed before the King of Assyria, and before all the nation that [is] with him: for [there are] more with us than with him.
8 fitañe nofotse ty ama’e; fe aman-tika t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika hañolotse an-tika naho hialy amo hotakotan-tikañeo. Le nampanintsiñe ondatio ty enta’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda.
With him [are] arms of flesh; but with us [is] the Lord our God to save [us], and to fight our battle. And the people were encouraged at the words of Ezekias king of Juda.
9 Ie añe le nampihitrife’ i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore mb’e Ierosalaime—ie niatreatre i Lakise henane zay rekets’ i valobohòn-dahin-defo’ey—mb’ amy Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda naho mb’e Iehoda vaho Ierosalaime mb’eo o mpitoro’eo nanao ty hoe:
And afterward Sennacherim king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem; and [he went] himself against Lachis, and all his army with him, and sent to Ezekias king of Juda, and to all Juda that [was] in Jerusalem, saying,
10 Hoe t’i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore: Ino ty iatoa’ areo kanao ifeaha’ areo ty fañarikatohañe Ierosalaime.
Thus says Sennacherim king of the Assyrians, On what do you trust, that you will remain in the siege in Jerusalem?
11 Tsy Iekizkia hao ty mamañahy anahareo, hanolora’ areo vatañe hampivetrahe’ ty kerè naho ty harandrano, ami’ty hoe: Iehovà Andria­nañaharen-tika ty hamo­tsotse antika am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey?
Does not Ezekias deceive you, to deliver you to death and famine and thirst, saying, The Lord our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
12 Tsy Iekizkiay hao ty nañafake o tamboho’eo naho o kitreli’eo vaho nandily Iehoda naho Ierosalaime ami’ty hoe; Añatrefa’ ty kitrely raike ty hitalahoa’ areo, le ama’e ty hisoroña’ areo?
Is not this Ezekias who has taken down his altars and his high places and has spoken to Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem, saying, You shall worship before this altar and burn incense upon it?
13 Tsy fohi’ areo hao o nanoeko naho o roaeko amo hene’ ondaty an-taneoo? Ia amo ‘ndrahare’ o kilakila’ ondatioo ty naharombake i tane’ iareoy an-tañako?
Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the nations of the countries? Could the gods of the nations of all the earth at all rescue their people out of my hand?
14 Ia amo fonga ‘ndrahare’ o kilakila’ ondaty nifongoren-droaekoo ty naharombake ondati’eo an-tañako, te haharombak’ anahareo an-tañako ka t’i Andrianañahare’ areo?
Who is there among all the gods of those nations whom my fathers utterly destroyed, [worthy of trust]? Could they deliver their people out of my hand, that your God should deliver you out of my hand?
15 Ie amy zao, ko apo’ areo ho sigìhe’ Iekizkia, ndra ho risihe’e an-tsata inoñe, ko iantofañe; fa tsy eo ze o ndraharem-pifeheañe ndra fifelehañe naharombake ondati’eo an-tañako naho am-pitàn-droaeko zao; somandrake te tsy haharombak’ anahareo an-tañako t’i Andrianañahare’ areo.
Now then, let not Ezekias deceive you, and let him not make you thus confident, and believe him not: for no god of any kingdom or nation is at all able to deliver his people out of my hand, or the hand of my fathers: therefore your God shall not deliver you out of my hand.
16 Mbe nanovoñ-inje am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare naho niatreatre i mpitoro’e Iekizkiay o mpitoro’eo.
And his servants continued to speak against the Lord God, and against his servant Ezekias.
17 Nano­kitse taratasy ka re nanigìke Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ Israele naho nañabiañe Aze, ami’ty hoe: Hambañe amy te tsy naharombake ondati’eo an-tañako o ndrahare’ o fifeheañe an-taneoo ro tsy haharombahan’ Añahare’ Iekizkia an-tañako ondati’eo.
And he wrote a letter to reproach the Lord God of Israel, and spoke concerning him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the earth have not delivered their people out of my hand, so the God of Ezekias shall by no means deliver his people out of my hand.
18 Le nitazataza am-peo mafe ami’ty saontsin-te-Iehoda am’ ondati’ Ierosalaime ambone’ i kijoliio, hampirevendreveñe naho hañembañe, handrambesa’ iareo i rovay.
And he cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem on the wall, [calling them] to assist them, and pull down [the walls], that they might take the city.
19 Le nampanahafe’ iareo talily amo ndraharen-kilakila-ndati’ ty tane toio, o toe satam-pità’ ondatio, t’i Andrianañahare’ Ierosalaime.
And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, even as against the gods of the nations of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
20 Aa le izay ty nihalalia’ Iekizkia mpanjaka naho Iesaià mpitoky ana’ i Amotse, an-toreo mb’an-dindiñ’ añe.
And king Ezekias and Esaias the prophet the son of Amos prayed concerning these things, and they cried to heaven.
21 Nañirak’ anjely amy zao t’Iehovà, nampaito o fanalolahy iabio naho o mpifeheo naho o mpifeleke an-tobem-panjaka’ i Asoreo. Aa le nimpoly an-kasalaran-daharan-dre mb’an-tane’e mb’eo. Aa ie nimoak’ an-trañon-drahare’e ao, le nanjevoñ’ aze am-pibara o nimoak’ an-ko­va’eo.
And the Lord sent an angel, and he destroyed every mighty man and warrior, and leader and captain in the camp of the king of Assyria: and he returned with shame of face to his own land and came into the house of his god: and [some] of them that came out of his bowels killed him with the sword.
22 Aa le rinomba’ Iehovà t’Iekizkia naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo am-pità’ i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore naho am-pità’ iareo iaby vaho nañaro iareo añ’ariary.
So the Lord delivered Ezekias and the dwellers in Jerusalem out of the hand of Sennacherim King of Assyria, and out of the hand of all [his enemies], and gave them rest round about.
23 Le maro ty ninday ravoravo mb’am’ Iehovà e Ierosalaime ao naho raha fanjàka am’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda, ie nonjoneñe am-pahaisaha’ o kilakila’ondatio henane zay.
And many brought gifts to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezekias king of Juda; and he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations after these things.
24 Natindry an-tihy fa heta’e t’Iekizkia tamy andro rezay le nihalaly amy Iehovà naho nanoiñe aze t’Iehovà vaho tinolo’e viloñe.
In those days Ezekias was sick even to death, and prayed to the Lord: and he listened to him, and gave him a sign.
25 Fe nifotetse amy hasoa nanoeñe ama’ey t’Iekizkia, fa nitoabotse ty aro­fo’e le nivotrak’ ama’e naho am’Iehodà vaho am’ Ierosalaime ty haviñerañe
But Ezekias did not recompense the Lord according to the return which he made him, but his heart was lifted up: and wrath came upon him, and upon Juda and Jerusalem.
26 Aa le nirèke amy fitoaborañ’ arofo’ey t’Iekizkia, ie naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo vaho tsy nife­tsak’ am’ iereo ty haviñera’ Iehovà tañ’ andro’ Iekizkia.
And Ezekias humbled himself after the exaltation of his heart, he and the dwellers in Jerusalem; and the wrath of the Lord did not come upon them in the days of Ezekias.
27 Nanam-bara naho asiñe ra’elahy t’Ie­kizkia; le namboare’e fañajàñe volafoty naho volamena naho vatosoa naho fampafiriañe naho fikalañe vaho ze hene karazam-panake soa;
And Ezekias had wealth and very great glory: and he made for himself treasuries of gold, and silver, and precious stones, also for spices, and stores for arms, and for precious vessels;
28 riha ho amo nivokareñeo, ty ampemba naho divay vaho menake; naho lapalapa ho a ze hene karazan-kare naho mpirai-troke vaho mpirai-lia.
and cities for the produce of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls and mangers for every [kind of] cattle, and folds for flocks;
29 Mbore nañoren-drova ho am-bata’e naho nanontoñe mpirai-lia naho mpirai-troke tsifotofoto; fa nitoloran’ Añahare vara bey.
and cities which he built for himself, and store of sheep and oxen in abundance, for the Lord gave him a very great store.
30 Iekizkia ty nanampe ty loha-rano’ i Gihone vaho nampizo­tsoe’e mivantañe mañandrefa’ i rova’ i Davidey. Le niraorao amo fitoloña’e iabio t’Iekizkia.
The same Ezekias stopped up the course of the water of Gion above, and brought the water down straight south of the city of David. And Ezekias prospered in all his works.
31 Fe o sorotà’ i Bavele niraheñe mb’ama’e mb’eo hañontane o hala­tsàñe nanoeñe amy taneioo, le nengan’ Añahare re hitsoha’e aze haharofoana’e ze hene añ’arofo’e ao.
Notwithstanding, in regard to the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who were sent to him to enquire of him [concerning] the prodigy which came upon the land, the Lord left him, to try him, to know what was in his heart.
32 Aa naho o fitoloña’ Iekizkia naho o fatariha’eo, oniño t’ie misokitse amy aroñaro’ Iesaia mpitoky ana’ i Amotsey vaho amy bokem-panjaka’ Iehodà naho Isra­eley.
And the rest of the acts of Ezekias, and his kindness, behold, they are written in the prophecy of Esaias the son of Amos the prophet, and in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
33 Le nitrao-piròtse aman-droae’e t’Iekizkia naho nalente’ iareo amy talèn-kiborin’ ana’ i Davidey; le hene niasy aze amy havilasi’ey t’Iehodà naho o mpimone’ Ierosalaimeo vaho nandimbe aze nifehe t’i Menasè ana’e.
And Ezekias slept with his fathers, and they buried him in a high place among the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem gave him glory and honor at his death. And Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
