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 fortified 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.

Then did the king of Assyria send Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto King Hezekiah with a heavy force, —and he took his stand by the upper channel of the 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.

And there went out to him—Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, —and Shebna, the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph 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, Pray you say unto Hezekiah, —Thus, saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What is this trust, wherewith thou dost trust?

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

I have said [sayest thou] —they are only words of the lips—Counsel and might have I for the war, —Now, upon whom dost thou trust, that thou hast 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.

Lo! thou dost trust on the support of this bruised cane, on Egypt, whereon if a man lean it will enter his hand and lay it open, —So, is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust upon 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 shouldst say unto me, In Yahweh our God, do we trust, Then is that not he whose high places and whose altars, Hezekiah hath removed, and said unto Judah and unto Jerusalem, Before this altar, shall ye bow yourselves down?

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, pledge thyself I pray thee with my lord, the king of Assyria, —That I supply thee with two thousand horses, If thou on thy part be able 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 pasha of the least of my lord’s servants? Or hast thou on thy part trusted upon 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.

But, now, is it, without Yahweh, that I have come up against this land to destroy it? Yahweh himself, said unto me, Go thou 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 we pray thee unto thy servants in the Syrian language, for we, can, understand, it, —and do not speak unto us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people who are upon 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—Is it unto thy lord and unto thee, that my lord hath sent me, to speak these things? Is it not concerning the men who are tarrying upon the wall, that they may eat and drink what cometh from them, 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!

So then Rabshakeh took his stand, and cried out 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 cause you to trust in Yahweh saying, Yahweh, will certainly deliver, us, —this city shall not be given over, 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,

Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, —for, thus, saith the king of Assyria, Deal with me thankfully, and come out unto me, Then shall ye eat, Every one of his own vine and Every one of his own fig-tree, And drink 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, into A land like your own land, —A land of corn 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?

Lest Hezekiah, persuade you, saying, Yahweh will deliver us! Have the gods of the nations, delivered, —any one of them—his country, 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 Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? If indeed they had only 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 countries that have delivered their country out of my hand? That, Yahweh, 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 command of the king, it was, saying, —Ye must not 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 came in—Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder, unto Hezekiah, with rent clothes, —and they told him the words of Rabshakeh.
