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, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.
2 Hisqiyaasis yommuu akka Senaaheriib dhufee Yerusaalemin loluu barbaade argetti,
And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,
3 burqaa bishaanii kan magaalaan ala jiru cufuuf qondaaltota isaa fi loltoota isaa wajjin mariʼate; isaanis isa gargaaran.
He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city: and they did help 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 there was gathered much people together, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find 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.
Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.
6 Innis ajajjoota loltootaa uummata irratti muudee oobdii karra magaalaa irratti fuula isaa duratti walitti qabee akkana jedhee isaan jajjabeesse;
And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to 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 courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than 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 arm of flesh; but with us is YHWH our Elohim to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
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 Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem, (but he himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his power with him, ) unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying,
10 “Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor akkana jedha: Yerusaalem ishee marfamte kana keessa turuun keessan of amanachuu kee maal irratti hundeeffatte?
Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?
11 Hisqiyaas, ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya harka mootii Asoor jalaa nu baasa’ jechuun isaa akka isin beelaa fi dheebuudhaan dhumtaniif mitii?
Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, YHWH our Elohim shall deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
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 high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon 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?
Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the people of other lands? were the elohim of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of mine hand?
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 was there among all the elohim of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your Elohim should be able to deliver 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!”
Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no eloah of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your Elohim deliver you out of mine hand?
16 Qondaaltonni Senaaheriibis waan kana caalaa hedduu Waaqayyo Waaqaa fi Hisqiyaas garbicha isaa irratti ni dubbatan.
And his servants spake yet more against YHWH Elohim, and against his servant 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 to rail on YHWH Elohim of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the elohim of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the Elohim of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.
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 cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to affright them, and to trouble them; that they might take the city.
19 Isaan akkuma waaʼee waaqota saboota addunyaa biraa kanneen harka namaatiin hojjetaman sanaa dubbatan sana waaʼee Waaqa Yerusaalem dubbatan.
And they spake against the Elohim of Jerusalem, as against the elohim of the people of the earth, which were the work of the hands of man.
20 Hisqiyaas Mootichii fi Isaayyaas raajichi ilmi Amoos waaʼee waan kanaatiif kadhannaadhaan gara samiitti ol iyyan.
And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.
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 YHWH sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his elohim, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.
22 Waaqayyo akkasiin Hisqiyaasii fi namoota Yerusaalem harka Senaaheriib mooticha Asoorii fi harka diinota isaa hundaa jalaa ni baase. Inni karaa hundaan isaan eege.
Thus YHWH saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all other, and guided them on every 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 gifts unto YHWH to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.
24 Bara sana keessa Hisqiyaas dhukkubsatee duʼuu gaʼe. Innis Waaqayyoon ni kadhate; Waaqayyos deebii kennee fi mallattoo dinqisiisaa isa argisiise.
In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto YHWH: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.
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 rendered not again according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
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 himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of YHWH came not upon them in the days 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.
And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels;
28 Akkasumas midhaaniif gombisaa ijaare; daadhii wayinii haaraa fi zayitiidhaaf qodaa itti kuusan qopheesse; loon gosa hundaaf dallaa, bushaayeef immoo gola ni ijaare.
Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.
29 Innis sababii Waaqni badhaadhummaa guddaa isaaf kenneef bushaayee baayʼee, karra loonii hedduus horatee magaalaawwanis ni ijaarrate.
Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for Elohim had given him substance very 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 upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.
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.
Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, Elohim left him, to try him, that he might know 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah 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.
And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chiefest of the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
