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.
Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and 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 hi the eyes of the LORD, 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 brake the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: And he brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn 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 the LORD, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among them] that 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 clave to the LORD, he departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD 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 the LORD was with him; whithersoever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
8 Zinevo’e o nte-Pelistio pak’ Azà naho o mañohok’ azeo; boak’ am-pitalakesañ’ abo pak’ an-drova mikijoly.
He smote the Philistines unto Gaza and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced 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: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
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 unto Assyria, and put them in Halah, and in Habor, [on] 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 obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of the LORD 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 did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced 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 puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto 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 the LORD, 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 did Hezekiah cut off [the gold from] the doors of the temple of the LORD, 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 unto Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in 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, which 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 unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
20 Atao’o te fanoroañe naho haozarañe ente-mialy hao ty fivolan-tsoñy? Ia arè ty iatoa’o, te ihe niola amako?
Thou sayest, but they are but vain words, [There is] counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast 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 trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that 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 unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath 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 canst 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.
Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said unto 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 said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not with us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that 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 unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he not sent me] to the men which sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water 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 spake, 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 saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he shall 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 the LORD, saying, The LORD 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;
Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one 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 corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.
33 Aa vaho eo hao ty ‘ndraharen-kilakila’ ndatio nahavotsotse ty tane’e am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Asore?
Hath 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 the LORD 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 held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
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 came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah, with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
