2 Mpanjaka 18
1 Ie tan-taom-paha-telo’ i Hosea, ana’ i Elà mpanjaka’ Israele, le niorotse nifehe t’i Kezkià, ana’ i Ahkaze, mpanjaka’ Iehodà.
Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Roapolo toañe lime amby re te niorotse nifehe; le nifeleke roapolo taoñe sive’ amby e Ierosalaime. I Abý, ana’ i Zakarià ty tahinan-drene’e.
He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
3 Nanao ty havantañañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà re, manahake ze hene satan-drae’e Davide.
And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.
4 Nafaha’e o toets’ aboo naho dinemo’e o hazomangao, naho finira’e o Aserào, vaho finorefore’e i mereñe torisike niranjie’ i Mosèy; amy te nañembok’ ama’e o ana’ Israeleo ampara’ i andro zay, le nitokaveñe ty hoe Nekostane.
He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and he broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made. For to those days the sons of Israel burned incense to it, and he called it Nehushtan.
5 Niatoa’e t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele; kanao tsy amo hene’ mpanjaka’ Iehodao naho amo taolo’eo ty nanahak’ aze.
He trusted in Jehovah, the God of Israel, so that there was none like him among all the kings of Judah after him, nor among those who were before him.
6 Nitambozore’e t’Iehovà, le tsy nenga’e ty fañorihañe aze, fa nambena’e o lili’e linili’ Iehovà i Mosèo.
For he clung to Jehovah. He did not depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Jehovah commanded Moses.
7 Nindre ama’e t’Iehovà, le niraorao re ndra aia’ aia ty nomba’e; niolà’e ty mpanjaka’ i Asore le tsy nitoroñe’e.
And Jehovah was with him. Wherever he went forth he prospered. And he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and did not serve him.
8 Zinevo’e o nte-Pelistio pak’ Azà naho o mañohok’ azeo; boak’ am-pitalakesañ’ abo pak’ an-drova mikijoly.
He smote the Philistines to Gaza and the borders of it, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
9 Ie amy taom-paha-efa’ i Kezkià mpanjakay, naho ty taom-paha’ fito i Hosea, ana’ i Elà mpanjaka’ Israele te nionjomb’e Somerone t’i Salmanesere mpanjaka’ i Asore, nañarikatok’ aze.
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.
10 Nahamodo telo taoñe iereo vaho naharambe aze; amy taom-paha’ ene’ i Kezkia naho ty taom-paha sive’ i Hosea mpanjaka’ Israele, ty nitavaneñe i Somerone.
And at the end of three years they took it. Samaria was taken in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel.
11 Nasese’ ty mpanjaka’ i Asore mb’e Asore mb’eo t’Israele, vaho napò’e e Kalà añe naho añ’ olo’ i Kabore, saka’ i Gozane, vaho amo rova nte Medaio;
And the king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
12 amy t’ie tsy nañaoñe ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo, te mone nivalik’ amy fañina’ey naho ze he’e nandilia’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà; tsy jinanji’ iareo tsy nanoe’ iereo.
because they did not obey the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
13 Amy taom-paha folo-efats’ambi’ i Kezkiày, le nionjomb’ amo rova-fatrats’ Iehodao t’i Sankeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore vaho rinambe’e.
Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
14 Le nampihitrik’ amy mpanjaka’ i Asore e Lakisey t’i Kezkia mpanjaka’ Iehoda nanao ty hoe: Nandilatse iraho, miengà ahy, le ho vaveko ze hapò’o amako. Le sinaze’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey volafoty telon-jato talenta naho volamena telopolo talenta t’i Kezkià mpanjaka’ Iehodà.
And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended. Return from me. That which thou put on me I will bear. And the king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
15 Fonga natolo’ i Kezkià aze ze volafoty nizoeñe añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà naho am-pañajàm-bara añ’anjombam-panjaka ao.
And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the king's house.
16 Tinampa’ i Kezkia amy zao ty volamena an-dalambein’ anjomba’ Iehovà naho boak’ amo tokonañe nipakore’ i Kezkia mpanjakao; vaho natolo’e amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey.
At that time Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of Jehovah, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
17 Nirahe’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey boak’e Lakise mb’amy Kezkia mpanjaka e Ierosalaime mb’eo t’i Tartane naho i Rabsarise, vaho i Rabsakè, reketse lahin-defo tsifotofoto. Nionjomb’ eo iereo naho nivotrake e Ierosalaime, ie pok’eo le nimb’an-talahan’ antara ambone an-dala’ i tondam-panasay mb’eo vaho nijohañe ey.
And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they came up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is on the highway of the fuller's field.
18 Ie kinanji’ iareo i mpanjakay le niakatse mb’ am’ iereo mb’eo t’i Eliakime ana’ i Kilkià, mpifehe o añ’ anjombao naho i Sebnà mpanokitse vaho Ioà ana’ i Asafe mpamolily.
And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
19 Le hoe t’i Rabsakè am’ iereo: Ano ty hoe t’i Kezkià: Hoe i mpanjaka ra’elahy mpifehe’ i Asorey: Ino ze o fiatoañe iatoa’o zao?
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?
20 Atao’o te fanoroañe naho haozarañe ente-mialy hao ty fivolan-tsoñy? Ia arè ty iatoa’o, te ihe niola amako?
Thou say (but they are but vain words), There is counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom do thou trust that thou have rebelled against me?
21 Inao hey, te niatoa’o i fitoñom-bararata dinemokey, i Mitsraime; ie iatoa’ ondaty le ho voa ty taña’e, toe hitomboha’e; izay t’i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime amy ze hene miato ama’e.
Now, 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.
22 Fe naho anoa’areo ty hoe: Iatoa’ay t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay; Tsy Ie hao ty nañafaha’ i Kezkia o toets-abo’eo naho o kitreli’eo, vaho nanao ty hoe am’ Iehodà naho am’ Ierosalaime: Mitalahoa añatrefa’ ty kitrely e Ierosalaime toy?
But if ye 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 in Jerusalem?
23 Aa ehe, ano parè amy talèko mpanjaka’ i Asorey; fa hatoloko azo ty soavala ro’ arivo naho mahatongoa mpiningitse ama’e irehe.
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.
24 Aa vaho akore ty hampitoliha’o ty laharam-pifehe’ i faragidrom-pitoron-talèkoy? vaho iatoa’o t’i Mitsraime hahazoa’o sarete naho mpiningitse!
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?
25 Atao’o te tsy amako hao t’Iehovà, izaho nionjom-b’an-toetse toy handrotsake aze? Nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà: Tameo i taney vaho rotsaho.
Have I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
26 Aa le hoe t’i Eliakime ana’ i Kilkià naho i Sebnà vaho Ioà amy Rab’ sakè: Ehe, misaontsia amo mpitoro’oo an-tsaontsi’ i Arame fa fohi’ay, le ko misaontsy an-tsaontsi’ o nte-Iehodao an-dravembia’ ondaty ambone’ o kijolio eio.
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. And do not speak with us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people who are on the wall.
27 Fe hoe ty nanoa’ Rab’sakè, Nañirak’ ahy homb’ amy talè’oy naho ama’ areo hivolañako o entañe zao, fa tsy amo mitobok’ amo kijolioo ka? hahafitraofa’ iareo filintseñe ty fiamonto’e naho finoñe ty arirano’e?
But Rabshakeh said to them, Has my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? Has he not sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?
28 Niongak’ amy zao t’i Rab’sakè, nipazake ty hoe an-tsaontsi’ Iehoda: Janjiño ty enta’ i mpanjaka ra’elahy, mpifehe’ i Asorey.
Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spoke, saying, Hear ye the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
29 Hoe i mpanjakay: Ko enga’ areo hamañahy anahareo t’i Kezkia. Fa tsy ho lefe’e ty hamotsotse anahareo am-pità’e.
Thus says the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
30 Le ko enga’ areo t’i Kezkia hampiato anahareo am’ Iehovà, ami’ty hoe: Toe handrombak’ antika t’Iehovà, vaho tsy hatolotse am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Asore ty rova toy.
Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
31 Ko janjiñeñe t’i Kezkia; fa hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Asore: Mifampilongoa amako, le miavota mb’amako; le songa hikama amy vahe’ey, naho amy sakoa’ey vaho sindre hitohoke an-dranon-kadaha’e;
Do not hearken to Hezekiah. For thus says the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me. And eat ye every man of his vine, and every man of his fig tree, and drink ye every man the waters of his own cistern,
32 ampara’ te homb’eo iraho hanese anahareo mb’an-tane manahake ty anahareo, tanen-tsako naho divay, tane ama’ mofo naho tanem-bahe, tanen-katae olive naho tantele, soa t’ie ho veloñe fa tsy hihomake; le ko haoñe’ areo t’i Kezkià, ie sigihe’e ami’ty hoe: Ho hahà’ Iehovà tika.
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, a land of olive trees and of honey, that ye may live, and not die. And do not hearken to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.
33 Aa vaho eo hao ty ‘ndraharen-kilakila’ ndatio nahavotsotse ty tane’e am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Asore?
Have any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
34 Aia o ‘ndrahare’ i Kamate naho i Arpadeo? aia o ‘ndrahare’ i Sefarvaime naho i Henà vaho Ivào? Nahahaha’ iereo an-tañako hao ty Somerone?
Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
35 Ia amo fonga ‘ndrahare’ o fifelehañeo ty nahavotsotse i borizà’ey an-tañako? te hahafañaha’ Iehovà an-tañako t’Ierosalaime?
Who are they among all the gods of the countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
36 Fe nianjiñe avao ondatio, leo volañe raike tsy natoi’ iareo ami’ty nandilia’ i mpanjakay ty hoe: Ko manoiñe aze.
But the people were silent, and did not answer him a word, for the king's commandment was, saying, Do not answer him.
37 Nimb’ amy Kezkià mb’eo an-tsiky riniatse t’i Eliakime, ana’ i Kilkià, mpifehe’ i anjombay naho i Sebna mpanokitsey vaho Ioà mpamoliliy nitalily i enta’ i Rab’sakèy.
Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
