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 in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, 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. 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.
He did that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, 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, broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah. He also broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, because in those days the children 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 Yahweh, the God of Israel, so that after him was no one 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 joined with Yahweh. He didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Yahweh 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.
Yahweh was with him. Wherever he went, he prospered. He rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
8 Zinevo’e o nte-Pelistio pak’ Azà naho o mañohok’ azeo; boak’ am-pitalakesañ’ abo pak’ an-drova mikijoly.
He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, 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.
In the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, 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.
At the end of three years they took it. 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;
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 didn’t obey Yahweh their God’s voice, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, and would not hear it or 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.
Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” 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.
Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in Yahweh’s house 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 Yahweh’s temple, 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.
The king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had 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.
When they had called to the king, Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder came out to them.
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?
Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘The great king, the king of Assyria, says, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
20 Atao’o te fanoroañe naho haozarañe ente-mialy hao ty fivolan-tsoñy? Ia arè ty iatoa’o, te ihe niola amako?
You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you 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, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, 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 you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God,’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You 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, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses if you are able on your part to set riders on 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 you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your 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 Yahweh against this place to destroy it? Yahweh 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, Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language, for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing 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 your master and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he 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 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.
The king says, ‘Don’t let 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.
Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh 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;
Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For the king of Assyria says, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat from his own vine, and everyone from his own fig tree, and everyone drink water from 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 you may live and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, “Yahweh will deliver us.”
33 Aa vaho eo hao ty ‘ndraharen-kilakila’ ndatio nahavotsotse ty tane’e am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Asore?
Has 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 Yahweh 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 stayed quiet, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t 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, came with Shebna the scribe and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him Rabshakeh’s words.
