Isaia 36

1 Aa ie amy taom-paha folo-efats-ambi’ Iekizkia mpanjakay le naname ze hene rova’ Iehodà nihafatrareñe t’i Senakeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore vaho tinava’e.

NOW it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.

2 Nirahe’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey boake Lakise mb’am’ Iekizkia e Ierosalaime ao t’i Rabsakè reketse lian-dahin-defo ra’elahy, le nijohañe an-talaha-drano miboak’ amy antara amboney, amy lalan-tetem-panasa-lambay ey.

And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field.

3 Niavotse mb’ama’e mb’eo t’i Eliakime, ana’ i Hilkià, mpifelek’ i anjombay naho i Sebna mpanokitse vaho Ioake ana’ i Asafe, mpamolily.

Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah’s son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph’s son, the recorder.

4 Hoe t’i Rabsakè tam’ iereo, Volaño henaneo am’ Iekizkia: Hoe ty saontsi’ i mpanjaka ra’elahiy, i mpanjaka’ i Asorey. Ajado’ areo ami’ty inom-bao ze o fatokisa’ areo 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?

5 Hoe iraho: fivolan-kòake hao ty atao safiry naho ozatse hahafialy? Aa le ia ty iatoa’ areo, kanao miola amako?

I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

6 Hehe te iatoa’ areo i fitoñom-bararata vinonotrobokey, i Mitsraime; ie itoñona’ ondaty am-pitàñe le trofake: izay t’i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraime amy ze hene miato ama’e.

Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him.

7 Aa naho manao ty hoe amako nahareo: Iehovà iatoa’ay t’i Andrianañahare’ay. Aa tsy ie hao ty nañafaha’ Iekizkia o toe’e ankaboañeo naho o kitreli’eo vaho nanao ty hoe am’ Iehodà naho Ierosalaime te amy ze o kitrely zao ty italahoa’ areo?

But if thou say to me, We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?

8 Aa ehe manoa kizè amy taleko mpanjaka’ i Asorey, le hatoloko azo ty soavala ro’arivo, naho mete’o ty hampijoñe mpiningitse ama’e.

Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, 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.

9 Akore arè ty hampiambohoa’o ty mpifehe, fara­gidro’ o mpitoron-talèkoo? te hapite’o amy Mitsraime ty fiatoa’o hahazoa’o sarete naho mpiningitse!

How then wilt 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?

10 Aa vaho nionjoñe mb’an-tane atoy hao iraho handro­tsak’ aze tsy ama’ Iehovà? Toe nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà: Mionjona haname o tane zao le rotsaho.

And am I now come up without the Lord against this land to destroy it? the Lord said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

11 Aa le hoe t’i Eliakime, i Sebnà, naho Ioàke amy Rabsakè, Ehe, misaon­tsia amo mpitoro’oo an-tsaontsi’ i Arame, fa hai’ay; le ko misaontsy ama’ay an-tsaontsi’ Iehodà, am-pijanjiña’ ondaty ambone’ o kijolioo.

Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

12 Fa hoe t’i Rabsakè: Aa vaho nirahe’ i talèkoy iraho hivolañe amy tale’ areoy naho ama’ areo avao o entako zao, le tsy am’ ondaty mitoboke ambone’ o kijolioo, o nozoñeñe hitraoke ama’ o hikama ty fiamonto’e naho hinoñe ty rano faria’eo?

But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

13 Aa le niongake t’i Rabsakè vaho pinaza’e ty koike, ami’ty saontsi’ Iehodà ty hoe: Janjiño ty saontsi’ i mpanjaka ra’ elahiy, ty mpanjaka’ i Asore!

Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.

14 Hoe i mpanjakay, Ko apo’ areo ho fañahie’ Iekizkia, fa tsy ho lefe’e rombaheñe.

Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.

15 Ko ado’ areo hampiatoa’ Iekizkia am’ Iehovà ami’ty hoe: Toe hamotsotse an-tika t’Iehovà, le tsy hatolotse am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey ty rova toy.

Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

16 Ko haoñe’ areo t’Iekizkia; fa hoe ty mpanjaka’ i Asore, mifampilongoa amako le miavota mb’etoy; fa songa hikama ami’ty vahe’e t’indaty, naho sindre ami’ty sakoa’e t’indaty vaho hene hinon-drano boak’ an-tsajoa’e t’indaty,

Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, 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;

17 ampara’ te homb’eo iraho hanese anahareo mb’an-tane manahake ty tane’ areo, tanen-ampemba naho divay, tane ama mahakama naho tanem-bahe.

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.

18 Ko apo’ areo hampivihe’ Iekizkia ami’ ty hoe: Handrombake antika t’Iehovà. Fa ia amo ‘ndrahare’ o kilakila’ ndatio ty nandrombake ty tane’e am-pità’ i mpanjaka’ i Asorey?

Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The Lord will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

19 Aia o ndrahare’ i Kamate naho i Arpadeo? Aia o ndrahare’ i Sefarvaimeo? Fa navotso’ iareo an-tañako hao t’i Some­rone?

Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

20 Ia amo ndrahare’ i tane rey iabio ty nañaha aze an-tañako, te ha­votso’ Iehovà an-tañako t’Ierosalaime?

Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

21 Fe nianjiñe avao iereo, leo volañe raike tsy natoi’ iareo aze, amy linili’ i mpanjakaiy, ty hoe: Ko itoiñañe.

But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

22 Nomb’ am’ Iekizkia t’i Eliakime ana’ i Kilkeia mpifeleke i anjombay naho i Sebnà mpanokitse naho Ioàke ana’ i Asafe mpamolily, an-tsaroñe riatse, vaho nitaroñe i enta’ i Rabsakèy.

Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that 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.
