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 when king Hezekiah had heard this, he tore his garments, and he covered himself with sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.
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, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and the elders from the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah, 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 tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. The sons are ready to be born, but the woman in labor does not have the strength.
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.
Perhaps the Lord, your God, may hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, sent so that he would reproach the living God, and rebuke with words, which the Lord, your God, has heard. And so, offer a prayer on behalf of the remnant that has been found.”
5 Aa le nimb’ am’ Iesaià mb’eo i mpitoro’ i Kezkià rey.
And the servants of king Hezekiah went 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: “So shall you say to your lord. Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid before the face of the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians 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 send a spirit to him, and he will hear a report, and he will return to his own land. And I will bring him down 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,
Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had withdrawn from Lachish.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 had heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia, saying, “Behold, he has gone out so that he may fight against you,” and when he went forth against him, he sent messengers 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.
“So shall you say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom you trust, lead you astray. And you should not say, ‘Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
11 Toe jinanji’o i nanoem-panjaka’ i Asore ze hene fifeheañey—fonga nimongore’e; aa vaho havotsotse irehe?
For you yourself have heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands, the manner in which they have laid waste to them. Therefore, how would you alone be able to be freed?
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 freed any of those whom my fathers have destroyed, such as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were at 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, and of Hena, and of Avva?”
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 so, when Hezekiah had received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he ascended to the house of the Lord, and he spread it out before the Lord.
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 he prayed in his sight, saying: “O Lord, God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, you alone are God, over all the kings of the earth. You 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 your ear, and listen. Open your eyes, O Lord, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, who sent so that he might reproach the living God before us.
17 Vata’e to, ry Iehovà te nampangoakoahe’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo o fifeheañeo naho o tane’eo;
Truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have devastated all peoples and 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 they have cast their gods into the fire. For they were not gods, but instead were the works of men’s hands, out of wood and stone. And so they 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 Lord our God, bring us salvation from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord God.”
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 the Lord, the God of Israel: I have heard what you beseeched from me, concerning Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians.
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 the Lord has spoken about him: The virgin daughter of Zion has spurned and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind your back.
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 you reproached, and whom have you blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? 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 the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord, and you have said: ‘By the multitude of my chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the summit of Lebanon. And I have cut down its sublime cedars, and its elect spruce trees. And I have entered even to its limits. And its forest of Carmel,
24 Nihaly vovon-draho naho ninon-dranon’ ambahiny, vaho nimaiheko an-dela-tomboko o hene saka’ i Mitsraimeo.
I have cut down. And I drank foreign waters, and I dried up all the enclosed waters with the steps of my feet.’
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,
But have you not heard what I have done from the beginning? From the days of antiquity, I have formed it, and now I have brought it to be. And fortified cities of fighting men will become piles of ruins.
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.
And whoever may settle in these, they have trembled, with a weak hand, and they have been confounded. They have become like the hay of the field, and like weeds sprouting on the rooftops, which dry up before they reached maturity.
27 Fe apotako ty fiongaha’o naho ty fitoboha’o, ty fiakara’o naho ty fiziliha’o vaho o fitroña’o amakoo.
Your habitation, and your exit, and your entrance, and your way, I knew beforehand, along with your fury 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.
You have been maddened against me, and your arrogance has ascended to my ears. And so, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will lead you back along the way by which you 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.
But as for you, Hezekiah, this shall be a sign: Eat this year whatever you will find, and in the second year, whatever may spring up of itself. But in the third year, sow and reap; plant vineyards, and eat from their fruit.
30 Mbe hamahatse mañambane naho hamoa mañambone ty sehangan’ anjomba’ Iehoda;
And whatever will have been left behind, from the house of Judah, shall send a root downward, and shall 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.
Indeed, a remnant shall go forth from Jerusalem, and what may be saved shall go forth from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish 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.
For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He shall not enter into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with the shield, nor encircle it with fortifications.
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, so shall he return. And he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
34 Toe harovako ty rova toy, ho rombaheko ho Ahiko naho ho a i Davide mpitoroko.
And I will protect this city, and I will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”
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 so it happened that, in the same night, an Angel of the Lord went and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he had risen up, at first light, he saw all the bodies of the dead. And withdrawing, he went away.
36 Nienga amy zao t’i Senakeribe, mpanjaka’ i Asore, nimpoly, vaho nimoneñe e Nineve ao.
And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, returned and dwelled in 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 while he was worshipping in the temple of his god, Nisroch, his sons, Adram-melech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of the Armenians. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
