2 Tantara 32
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.
After these things and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, entered into Judah, encamped against the fortified cities, and intended to win them for himself.
2 Aa ie nioni’ Iekizkia te pok’ eo t’i Senakeribe, misafiry ty hialy am’ Ierosalaime,
When Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he was planning to fight against Jerusalem,
3 le nilahatse amo roandriañeo naho amo fanalolahio ty hamempeañe o rano migoangoañe alafe’ i rovaio vaho nañolots’ aze iereo.
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 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?
Then many people gathered together and they stopped all the springs and the brook that flowed through the middle of the land, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find abundant water?”
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.
He took courage, built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, with the other wall outside, and strengthened Millo in David’s city, and made weapons and shields 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:
He set captains of war over the people, gathered them together to him in the wide place at the gate of the city, and spoke encouragingly to 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. Don’t be afraid or dismayed because of the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude who is with him; for there is a greater one 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.
An arm of flesh is with him, but the LORD our God is with us to help us and to fight our battles.” The people rested themselves on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
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:
After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (now he was attacking Lachish, and all his forces were with him), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 Hoe t’i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore: Ino ty iatoa’ areo kanao ifeaha’ areo ty fañarikatohañe Ierosalaime.
Sennacherib king of Assyria says, “In whom do you trust, that you remain under 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?
Doesn’t Hezekiah persuade you to give you over to die by famine and by 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?
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 you shall burn incense on 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?
Don’t you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of those lands in any way able to deliver their land 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 was there amongst 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 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 therefore don’t let Hezekiah deceive you nor persuade you in this way. Don’t 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 Mbe nanovoñ-inje am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare naho niatreatre i mpitoro’e Iekizkiay o mpitoro’eo.
His servants spoke yet more against the LORD God and against his servant Hezekiah.
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.
He also wrote letters insulting the LORD, the God of Israel, and speaking 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 Le nitazataza am-peo mafe ami’ty saontsin-te-Iehoda am’ ondati’ Ierosalaime ambone’ i kijoliio, hampirevendreveñe naho hañembañe, handrambesa’ iareo i rovay.
They called out 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 Le nampanahafe’ iareo talily amo ndraharen-kilakila-ndati’ ty tane toio, o toe satam-pità’ ondatio, t’i Andrianañahare’ Ierosalaime.
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 Aa le izay ty nihalalia’ Iekizkia mpanjaka naho Iesaià mpitoky ana’ i Amotse, an-toreo mb’an-dindiñ’ añe.
Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and 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.
The LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, 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, those who came out of his own body killed him there 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.
Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.
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.
Many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from then on.
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 Hezekiah was terminally ill, and he prayed to the LORD; and he spoke 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 Hezekiah didn’t reciprocate appropriate to the benefit done for him, because his heart was lifted up. Therefore there was wrath on him, Judah, 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.
However, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the LORD’s wrath didn’t come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
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;
Hezekiah had exceedingly great riches and honour. He provided himself with treasuries for silver, for gold, for precious stones, for spices, for shields, and for all kinds of valuable 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.
also storehouses for the increase of grain, new wine, and oil; and stalls for all kinds of animals, and flocks in folds.
29 Mbore nañoren-drova ho am-bata’e naho nanontoñe mpirai-lia naho mpirai-troke tsifotofoto; fa nitoloran’ Añahare vara bey.
Moreover he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him abundant possessions.
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.
This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of David’s city. Hezekiah 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.
However, concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him to test him, that he might know all that 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his good deeds, behold, 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 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.
Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent to the tombs of the sons of David. All Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honoured him at his death. Manasseh his son reigned in his place.
