2 Seenaa 32
1 Erga Hisqiyaas waan kana hunda amanamummaadhaan hojjetee booddee Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor dhufee Yihuudaa weerare. Moʼatee isaan qabachuudhaafis magaalaawwan dallaa dhagaa qaban marse.
After these things faithfully described, Saneherib King of Asshur came and entred into Iudah, and besieged the strong cities, and thought to winne them for him selfe.
2 Hisqiyaasis yommuu akka Senaaheriib dhufee Yerusaalemin loluu barbaade argetti,
When Hezekiah sawe that Saneherib was come, and that his purpose was to fight against Ierusalem,
3 burqaa bishaanii kan magaalaan ala jiru cufuuf qondaaltota isaa fi loltoota isaa wajjin mariʼate; isaanis isa gargaaran.
Then he tooke counsell with his princes and his nobles, to stoppe the water of the fountaines without the citie: and they did helpe him.
4 Namoonni akka malee hedduun walitti qabamanii, “Mootonni Asoor maaliif dhufanii bishaan baayʼee argatan?” jedhanii burqaawwanii fi lageen biyya sana keessa yaaʼan hunda ni cufan.
So many of the people assembled themselues, and stopt all the fountaines, and the riuer that ranne through the middes of the countrey, saying, Why should the Kings of Asshur come, and finde much water?
5 Ergasii mootichi jabaatee hojjechuudhaan dallaawwan dhagaa kanneen jijjigan hunda dhaabuudhaan gamoowwan eegumsaa achi irratti ijaare. Isaan alatti immoo dallaawwan biraa ijaaree daangaa Magaalaa Daawit cimse. Akkasumas miʼoota lolaa fi gaachanawwan baayʼee hojjete.
And he tooke courage, and built all the broken wall, and made vp the towers, and another wall without, and repayred Millo in the citie of Dauid, and made many dartes and shields.
6 Innis ajajjoota loltootaa uummata irratti muudee oobdii karra magaalaa irratti fuula isaa duratti walitti qabee akkana jedhee isaan jajjabeesse;
And he set captaines of warre ouer the people, and assembled them to him in the broade place of the gate of the citie, and spake comfortably vnto them, saying,
7 “Jabaadhaa; cimaa. Isin sababii mooticha Asoorii fi sababii loltoota akka malee baayʼee kanneen isa wajjin jiran sanaatiif jettanii hin sodaatinaa; humni nu wajjin jiru kan isa wajjin jiru caalaatii.
Be strong and couragious: feare not, neither be afraide for the King of Asshur, neither for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with vs, then is with him.
8 Kan isa wajjin jiru humna foonii qofaa dha; kan nu wajjin jiru garuu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya isa nu gargaaruu fi isa lola keenya nuuf loluu dha.” Uummanni dubbii Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatiin jajjabaate.
With him is an arme of flesh, but with vs is the Lord our God for to helpe vs, and to fight our battels. Then the people were confirmed by the wordes of Hezekiah King of Iudah.
9 Kana booddees Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor utuma loltoota isaa hunda wajjin Laakkiish marsee jiruu, harka ajajjoota loltoota isaatti akkana jedhee gara Yerusaalemitti Hisqiyaasii fi namoota Yihuudaa kanneen achi jiran hundatti ergaa kana erge:
After this, did Saneherib King of Asshur send his seruants to Ierusalem (while he was against Lachish, and all his dominion with him) vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah and vnto all Iudah that were at Ierusalem, saying,
10 “Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor akkana jedha: Yerusaalem ishee marfamte kana keessa turuun keessan of amanachuu kee maal irratti hundeeffatte?
Thus saith Saneherib the King of Asshur, Wherein doe ye trust, that ye will remaine in Ierusalem, during the siege?
11 Hisqiyaas, ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya harka mootii Asoor jalaa nu baasa’ jechuun isaa akka isin beelaa fi dheebuudhaan dhumtaniif mitii?
Doeth not Hezekiah entice you to giue ouer your selues vnto death by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliuer vs out of the hande of the King of Asshur?
12 Namni Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemiin, ‘Isin iddoo aarsaa tokko duratti sagaduu fi isuma irratti aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessuu qabdu’ jedhee iddoowwan sagadaa fi iddoowwan aarsaa Waaqa kanaa balleesse Hisqiyaasuma mataa isaa mitii?
Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his hie places and his altars, and commanded Iudah and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall worshippe before one altar, and burne incense vpon it?
13 “Isin waan anii fi abbootiin koo saboota biyyoota biraa hunda goone hin beektanii? Waaqonni saboota sanaa biyya isaanii harka koo jalaa takkumaa baasuu dandaʼaniiruu?
Knowe ye not what I and my fathers haue done vnto all the people of other countreyes? were the gods of the nations of other landes able to deliuer their land out of mine hande?
14 Waaqota abbootiin koo balleessan kanneen hunda keessaa isa kamtu saba isaa harka koo keessaa baasuu dandaʼe? Yoos Waaqni keessan akkamitti harka koo keessaa isin baasuu dandaʼa ree?
Who is he of al the gods of those natios (that my fathers haue destroied) that could deliuer his people out of mine hande? that your God should be able to deliuer you out of mine hand?
15 Ammas Hisqiyaas akkasitti isin gowwoomsee karaa irraa isin hin jalʼisin. Waaqni saba yookaan mootummaa kamii iyyuu saba isaa harka koo yookaan harka abbootii koo jalaa baasuu hin dandeenyeetii isa hin amaninaa. Waaqni keessan immoo harka kootii isin baasuuf hammam haa yaratu ree!”
Nowe therefore let not Hezekiah deceiue you, nor seduce you after this sort, neither beleeue ye him: for none of all the gods of any nation or kingdome was able to deliuer his people out of mine hande and out of the hande of my fathers: howe much lesse shall your gods deliuer you out of mine hande?
16 Qondaaltonni Senaaheriibis waan kana caalaa hedduu Waaqayyo Waaqaa fi Hisqiyaas garbicha isaa irratti ni dubbatan.
And his seruants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his seruant Hezekiah.
17 Mootichis akkasuma Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel arrabsuudhaan, waan hamaa illee isatti dubbachuudhaan, “Akkuma waaqonni biyyoota biraa saba isaanii harka koo jalaa baasuu hin dandaʼin sana Waaqni Hisqiyaasis saba isaa harka koo jalaa oolchuu hin dandaʼu” jedhee xalayaa barreesse.
He wrote also letters, blaspheming the Lord God of Israel and speaking against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other countreies could not deliuer their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliuer his people out of mine hande.
18 Kana irratti isaan naasisuu fi sodaachisuudhaan magaalaa sana qabachuudhaaf saba Yerusaalem kan dallaa dhagaa irra tureetti afaan Ibraayisxiitiin sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii iyyan.
Then they cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes speach vnto the people of Ierusalem that were on the wall, to feare them and to astonish them, that they might take the citie.
19 Isaan akkuma waaʼee waaqota saboota addunyaa biraa kanneen harka namaatiin hojjetaman sanaa dubbatan sana waaʼee Waaqa Yerusaalem dubbatan.
Thus they spake against the God of Ierusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, euen the workes of mans hands,
20 Hisqiyaas Mootichii fi Isaayyaas raajichi ilmi Amoos waaʼee waan kanaatiif kadhannaadhaan gara samiitti ol iyyan.
But Hezekiah the King, and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz prayed against this and cryed to heauen.
21 Waaqayyos ergamaa isaa tokko itti erge; ergamaan sunis qubata loltoota mooticha Asoor keessatti loltoota, hooggantootaa fi ajajjoota loltootaa ni balleesse. Kanaafuu mootichi salphinaan gara biyya isaatti deebiʼe. Yeroo inni galma Waaqa isaa seenettis ilmaan isaa achumatti goraadeedhaan isa cicciran.
And the Lord sent an Angel which destroyed all the valiant men, and the princes and captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur: so he returned with shame to his owne lande. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came foorth of his owne bowels, slewe him there with the sworde.
22 Waaqayyo akkasiin Hisqiyaasii fi namoota Yerusaalem harka Senaaheriib mooticha Asoorii fi harka diinota isaa hundaa jalaa ni baase. Inni karaa hundaan isaan eege.
So the Lord saued Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem from the hande of Saneherib King of Asshur, and from the hande of all other, and maintained them on euery side.
23 Namoonni baayʼeenis gara Yerusaalemitti Waaqayyoof aarsaa fidan; Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatiif immoo kennaa gatii guddaa fidan. Innis yeroo sanaa jalqabee fuula saboota hundaa duratti ulfina argate.
And many brought offrings vnto the Lord to Ierusalem, and presents to Hezekiah King of Iudah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thencefoorth.
24 Bara sana keessa Hisqiyaas dhukkubsatee duʼuu gaʼe. Innis Waaqayyoon ni kadhate; Waaqayyos deebii kennee fi mallattoo dinqisiisaa isa argisiise.
In those dayes Hezekiah was sicke vnto the death, and prayed vnto the Lord, who spake vnto him, and gaue him a signe.
25 Hisqiyaas garuu garaa isaatti of tuule malee waan gaarii isaaf godhameef deebii malu hin kennine; kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isatti, Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemitti dhufe.
But Hezekiah did not render according to the rewarde bestowed vpon him: for his heart was lift vp, and wrath came vpon him, and vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
26 Kana irratti Hisqiyaas akkuma namoota Yerusaalem sanaa of tuulummaa garaa isaa irraa ni deebiʼe; kanaafuu bara Hisqiyaas keessa dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isaanitti hin dhufne.
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled him selfe (after that his heart was lifted vp) he and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the wrath of the Lord came not vpon them in the dayes of Hezekiah.
27 Hisqiyaas qabeenya akka malee baayʼee fi ulfina guddaa qaba ture; innis meetii isaaf, warqee isaaf, dhagaawwan isaa gati jabeeyyiif, urgooftuuwwan isaaf, gaachanawwan isaa fi miʼoota garaa garaa kanneen gatii guddaa qaban hundaaf mankuusa ni ijaare.
Hezekiah also had exceeding much riches and honour, and he gate him treasures of siluer, and of golde, and of precious stones, and of sweete odours, and of shieldes, and of all pleasant vessels:
28 Akkasumas midhaaniif gombisaa ijaare; daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiidhaaf qodaa itti kuusan qopheesse; loon gosa hundaaf dallaa, bushaayeef immoo gola ni ijaare.
And of store houses for the increase of wheat and wine and oyle, and stalles for all beasts, and rowes for the stables.
29 Innis sababii Waaqni badhaadhummaa guddaa isaaf kenneef bushaayee baayʼee, karra loonii hedduus horatee magaalaawwanis ni ijaarrate.
And he made him cities, and had possession of sheepe and oxen in abundance: for God had giuen him substance exceeding much.
30 Namni afaan burqaa Giihoon kan olii cufee bishaan isaa gara lixa Magaalaa Daawititti jalʼise Hisqiyaasuma kana. Hojiin isaa hundis ni milkaaʼeef.
This same Hezekiah also stopped the vpper water springs of Gihon, and led them streight vnderneath towarde the citie of Dauid Westwarde. so Hezekiah prospered in all his workes.
31 Garuu yeroo bulchitoonni Baabilon waaʼee hojii dinqii kan biyya sanatti hojjetamee isa gaafachuuf ergamoota erganitti Waaqni isa qoruu fi waan garaa isaa keessa jiru ilaaluudhaaf isa dhiise.
But because of the ambassadours of the princes of Babel, which sent vnto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the lande, God left him to trie him, and to knowe all that was in his heart.
32 Wantoonni bara mootummaa Hisqiyaas keessa hojjetaman kanneen biraa fi gaarummaan isaa mulʼata Isaayyaas raajicha ilma Amoos, kitaaba mootota Yihuudaa fi Israaʼel keessatti barreeffamaniiru.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and his goodnesse, beholde, they are written in the vision of Ishiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz, in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.
33 Hisqiyaasis abbootii isaa wajjin boqotee lafa awwaala sanyiiwwan Daawititti gaara irratti awwaalame. Yeroo inni duʼettis Yihuudaa fi sabni Yerusaalem hundinuu isa kabajan. Ilmi isaa Minaaseen iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the highest sepulchre of the sonnes of Dauid: and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his stead.
