2 Mpanjaka 19
1 Ie jinanji’ i Kezkià izay, le rinia’e o saro’eo naho nisikin-gony vaho nizilik’ añ’ anjomba’Iehovà ao.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 Nampihitrife’e mb’am’ Iesaià, mpitoky, ana’ i Amotse, mb’eo t’i Eliakime mpiaolo’ i anjombay, naho i Sebnà mpanokitse, vaho o androanavim-pisoroñeo songa nisaron-gony,
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests (covered with sackcloth) to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 ninday ama’e ty hoe: Hoe t’i Kezkià: Andron-kankàñe naho trevoke vaho teratera ty andro toy, fa an-titotse te hisamake o ajajao fe po-haozarañe.
And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy, for the sons have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.
4 Hera, ho janjiñe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o i enta’ i Rab’sakè nahitri’ i mpanjaka’ i Asore, talè’eiy, nanigike an’ Andrianañahare veloñe, hitrevoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o o fivolañe jinanji’eo; le ihalalio i sehanga’ey.
It may be that Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 Aa le nimb’ am’ Iesaià mb’eo i mpitoro’ i Kezkià rey.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Le hoe t’Iesaià tama’e: Zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy talè’ areoy: Hoe ty tsinara’ Iehovà: Ko hembañ’ amo volañe jinanji’oo, o niteraterà’ o mpitoro’ i mpanjaka’ i Asoreio ahikoo.
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus says Jehovah, Do not be afraid of the words that thou have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Oniño t’ie ho fañahieko hijanjiña’e tolom-boetse naho himpoly mb’an-tane’e añe vaho hampikorovoheko am-pibara an-tane’e ao.
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear news, and shall return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Nibalik’ amy zao t’i Rab’sakè, le zoe’e nialy amy Libnà ty mpanjaka’ i Asore; toe jinanji’e ty fienga’e i Lakise,
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 ie jinanjiñe ty amy Tir’hakà mpanjaka’ i Kose ty hoe: Ingo fa niavota’e hialy, aa le nañitrife’e ìrake indraike t’i Kezkià nanao ty hoe:
And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he comes out to fight against thee, he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Ty hoe ty ho enta’o my Kezkià, mpanjaka’ Iehodà: Ko ado’o hamañahy azo i Andrianañahare iatoa’oy, hanao ty hoe; Tsy hatolotse am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey t’Ierosalaime.
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let thy God in whom thou trust deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Toe jinanji’o i nanoem-panjaka’ i Asore ze hene fifeheañey—fonga nimongore’e; aa vaho havotsotse irehe?
Behold, thou have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. And shall thou be delivered?
12 Hera namotsotse o nandrotsahan-droaekoo o ‘ndraharem-pifeheañeo, i Gozane, i Karane, i Retsefe, vaho o ana’ i Edene nte Telasàreo?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden that were in Telassar?
13 Aia ty mpanjaka’ i Kamate, ty mpanjaka’ i Arpade, ty mpanjaka’ i rova’ i Sefarvainey, ty a i Hena, naho Ivà?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
14 Rinambe’ i Kezkià i taratasy boak’ am-pità’ i ìrake reiy, le vinaki’e; le nionjoñe mb’ añ’anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo t’i Kezkià, vaho vinela’e añatrefa’ Iehovà.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. And Hezekiah went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 Le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Kezkià ami’ty hoe: O ry Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele, mpiambesatse añivo’ o keròbeo, Ihe ro Andrianañahare, Ihe avao, amy ze kila fifehea’ ty tane toy; Ihe ty namboatse i likerañey naho ty tane toy.
And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sits above the cherubim, thou are the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. Thou have made heaven and earth.
16 Manokilaña ravembia ry Iehovà le janjiño, manokafa fihaino ry Iehovà le vazohò, vaho haoño o enta’ i Senakeribe nahitri’e hiteratera i Andrianañahare veloñeio.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear. Open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see. And hear the words of Sennacherib, with which he has sent for him to defy the living God.
17 Vata’e to, ry Iehovà te nampangoakoahe’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo o fifeheañeo naho o tane’eo;
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18 naho nafetsa’ iareo añ’afo ao o ‘ndrahare’ iareoo (o tsy Andriañahareo, fa satam-pità’ ondaty, hatae naho vato) vaho rinotsa’ iereo.
and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed them.
19 Ie amy zao, ry Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay, Ehe rombaho am-pità’e zahay hahafohina’ ze hene fifehea’ ty tane toy te Ihe ry Iehovà ro Andrianañahare, Ihe avao.
Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou Jehovah are God alone.
20 Nahitri’ Iesaià, ana’ i Amotse amy Kezkià, ty hoe: Hoe t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele: Kanao nihalalia’o amako i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asorey, le tsinanoko.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Whereas thou have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard.
21 Hoe ty tsara nafè’ Iehovà ama’e: Malaim-bintañe azo ty anak’ ampela’ i Tsione naho itohafa’e an-tìtse; mikofi-doha ama’o ty anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaime.
This is the word that Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised thee and laughed thee to scorn. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.
22 Ia ty ninjè’o naho nonjira’o? Ia o nipoñafa’o feo naho niandrandrà’o maso am-pirengevohañeo hatretrè’o i Masi’ Israeley!
Whom have thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom have thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.
23 O ìra’oo ty nañinjea’o i Talè naho nanao ty hoe, Amo saretekoo ty añamboneako andigiligi’ o haboañeo, pak’an-tsifitsifi’ i Lebanone añe; firaeko ty abo amo mendorave’eo, ty soa fijoboñe amo talì’eo; izilihako i fipalira’e lavitse ama’ey, i ala’e loho matahetsey.
By thy messengers thou have defied the Lord, and have said, With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. And I will cut down the tall cedars of it, and the choice fir trees of it. And I will enter into his farthest lodging-place, the forest of his fruitful field.
24 Nihaly vovon-draho naho ninon-dranon’ ambahiny, vaho nimaiheko an-dela-tomboko o hene saka’ i Mitsraimeo.
I have dug and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
25 Tsy jinanji’o hao? fa haehae te nanoeko? sinafiriko taolo añe, naho nampifetsahako henanekeo, eka fa fonitse, te havali’o ho votrem-piantoañe o rova fatratseo,
Have thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that thou should be to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
26 le salatse naho malovilovy o mpimone’e nitomoreñeo, ie hoe rongoñe an-kivok’ ao naho ahetse maindoñe, manahake ty boka ambone’ kivoho eo vaho ampemba pikole’e ie mbe tsy bey.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded. They were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blasted before it is grown up.
27 Fe apotako ty fiongaha’o naho ty fitoboha’o, ty fiakara’o naho ty fiziliha’o vaho o fitroña’o amakoo.
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
28 Aa kanao itreña’o, vaho niheo an-tsofiko ao ty fitoabora’o, le hatsatoko an-doak’ oro’o ao ty porengoko naho ami’ty montsili’o ao ty laboridiko; vaho hampipolieko amy lalañe nimba’o mb’ etoiy.
Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou came.
29 Inao ty ho viloñe hahafohina’ areo izay: Ho kamae’ areo ze mitiry ho asa’e ami’ty taoñe toy, le ze mijirik’ ama’e ami’ty taom-paha roe; le mitongisa ami’ty taom-pahatelo, mambolea an-tanem-bahe vaho kamao o voa’eo.
And this shall be the sign to thee: Ye shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same. And in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of it.
30 Mbe hamahatse mañambane naho hamoa mañambone ty sehangan’ anjomba’ Iehoda;
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 fa hiavotse am’ Ierosalaime ty sengaha’e, naho boak’ ankaboa’ i Tsione ao o nahafipoliotseo. Hanoe’ ty fahimbaña’ Iehovà’ i Màroy izay.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah shall perform this.
32 Aa le hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà amy mpanjaka’ i Asorey: T’ie tsy himoak’ an-drova atoy, tsy hañiririña’e ana-pale, tsy hiheova’e aolo’e ey reketse fikalañe, vaho tsy haobo’e ama’e ty tambohom-panameañe.
Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
33 Amy lalañe nigodaña’e mb’ etoa ty himpolia’e añe fa tsy hifoak’ ami’ ty rova toy, hoe t’Iehovà.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come to this city, says Jehovah.
34 Toe harovako ty rova toy, ho rombaheko ho Ahiko naho ho a i Davide mpitoroko.
For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
35 Ie amy haleñey, nimb’eo ty anjeli’ Iehovà nanjevoñe ty rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale-tsi-lime-arivo an-tobe’ o nte-Asoreo. Ie mañampitso ondatio le nizoeñe t’ie fonga lolo.
And it came to pass that night, that the agent of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred eighty-five thousand. And when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
36 Nienga amy zao t’i Senakeribe, mpanjaka’ i Asore, nimpoly, vaho nimoneñe e Nineve ao.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
37 Ie nitalaho añ’ anjomba’ i Nisroke, ‘ndrahare’e ao, le nanjevoñe aze am-pibara ty ana’e Adrameleke naho i Saretsere vaho nipolititse mb’an-tane Ararate añe. Nandimbe aze t’i Esarsadone, ana’e.
And it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer smote him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
