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 in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria [Level plain] attacked all of the fortified cities of Judah [Praised], and captured 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.

The king of Assyria [Level plain] sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem [City of peace] to king Hezekiah with a large army. He stood by the aqueduct from the upper pool in the fuller’s field highway.

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 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder came out to him.

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?

Rabshakeh said to them, “Now tell Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria [Level plain], “What confidence is this in which you trust?

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

I say that your counsel and strength for the war are only vain words. Now in whom do you trust, that you have rebelled 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.

Behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt [Abode of slavery], which if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt [Abode of slavery] to all who 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 you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God],’ is not that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah [Praised] and to Jerusalem [City of peace], ‘You 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, please make a pledge to my master the king of Assyria [Level plain], and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on 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 can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt [Abode of slavery] 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.

Have I come up now without Adonai against this land to destroy it? Adonai said to 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 Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic [Elevated], for we sh'ma ·hear understand obey· it; and don’t speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who 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, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine 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 called out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, “Sh'ma ·Hear obey· the words of the great king, the king of Assyria [Level plain]!

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

Thus says the king, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will 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.

Don’t let Hezekiah make you trust in Adonai, saying, “Adonai will surely deliver us. This city won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria [Level plain].”’

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,

Don’t sh'ma ·hear obey· Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria [Level plain], ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and each of you eat from his vine, and each one from his fig tree, and each one of you drink 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 grain and new 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, “Adonai will deliver us.” Have any of the deities of the nations delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria [Level plain]?

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 deities of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the deities of Sepharvaim? Have they delivered Samaria from 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 deities of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Adonai should deliver Jerusalem [City of peace] 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 remained silent, and said nothing in reply, for the king’s order was, “Don’t answer him.”

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 Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
