1 Bara Hoosheeʼaa ilma Eelaa mooticha Israaʼel keessa waggaa sadaffaatti Hisqiyaas ilmi Aahaaz mooticha Yihuudaa mootii taʼee bulchuu jalqabe.
Now in the third yeere of Hoshea, sonne of Elah King of Israel, Hezekiah the sonne of Ahaz king of Iudah began to reigne.
2 Inni Yeroo mootii taʼetti nama waggaa digdamii shan ture; innis Yerusaalem keessa taaʼee waggaa digdamii sagal bulche. Maqaan haadha isaa Abiiyaa ture; isheenis intala Zakkaariyaas.
He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twenty yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Abi the daughter of Zachariah,
3 Innis akkuma Daawit abbaan isaa godhe sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa hojjete.
And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
4 Inni iddoowwan sagadaa kanneen gaarran irraa diige; dhagaawwan waaqeffannaa caccabsee siidaawwan Aasheeraa illee burkuteesse. Sababii Israaʼeloonni hamma bara sanaatti ixaana aarsaafii turaniif inni fakkii bofaa kan Museen naasii irraa hojjete sana illee ni caccabse. Fakkiin bofaa sun Nehushtaan jedhamee waamama ture.
He tooke away the hie places, and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for vnto those dayes the children of Israel did burne incense to it, and hee called it Nehushtan.
5 Hisqiyaas Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel amanate. Mootota Yihuudaa hunda keessaa namni akka isaa tokko iyyuu isa duraan yookaan isa duubaan hin turre.
He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that after him was none like him among all the Kings of Iudah, neither were there any such before him.
6 Inni jabaatee Waaqayyotti hiiqe malee isa duukaa buʼuu hin dhiisne; seera Waaqayyo Museef kenne sanas ni eege.
For he claue to the Lord, and departed not from him, but kept his commandements, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
7 Waaqayyos isa wajjin ture; inni waan hojjete hunda keessatti ni milkaaʼe. Inni mootii Asooritti fincile malee isa hin tajaajille.
So the Lord was with him, and he prospered in all thinges, which he tooke in hande: also he rebelled against the King of Asshur, and serued him not.
8 Inni gamoo eegumsaatii jalqabee hamma magaalaa dallaa jabaa qabuutti, hamma Gaazaattii fi daangaa isheetti Filisxeemota ni moʼate.
He smote the Philistims vnto Azzah, and the coastes thereof, from the watch towre vnto the defensed citie.
9 Waggaa afuraffaa bara Hisqiyaas mootichaa keessa jechuunis waggaa torbaffaa bara Hoosheeʼaa ilma Eelaa mooticha Israaʼel keessa Shalmaneseer mootichi Asoor Samaariyaatti duulee marsee ishee qabate.
And in the fourth yere of King Hezekiah, (which was the seuenth yeere of Hoshea sonne of Elah King of Israel) Shalmaneser King of Asshur came vp against Samaria, and besieged it.
10 Dhuma waggaa sadaffaatti Asooronni ishee fudhatan. Akkasiinis Samaariyaan waggaa jaʼaffaa bara mootummaa Hisqiyaas keessa, waggaa saglaffaa bara Hoosheeʼaa mooticha Israaʼel keessa ni fudhatamte.
And after three yeeres they tooke it, euen in the sixt yeere of Hezekiah: that is, the ninth yeere of Hoshea King of Israel was Samaria taken.
11 Mootiin Asooris Israaʼeloota boojiʼee Asooritti geessee Halaa keessa, Goozaan keessa, Laga Haaboor biraa fi magaalaawwan Midiyaan keessa ni qubachiise.
Then the King of Asshur did carry away Israel vnto Asshur, and put them in Halah and in Habor, by the riuer of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
12 Wanni kun sababii isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa isaaniitiif ajajamuu didanii kakuu isaa, ajaja Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo isaaniif kenne hunda cabsaniif isaanitti dhufe. Isaan ajaja sana hin dhaggeeffanne yookaan hojii irra hin oolchine.
Because they woulde not obey the voyce of the Lord their God, but transgressed his couenant: that is, all that Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded, and would neyther obey nor doe them.
13 Bara mootummaa Hisqiyaas mootichaa keessa waggaa kudha afuraffaatti, Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor magaalaawwan Yihuudaa kanneen dallaa jabaa qaban hunda lolee ni qabate.
Moreouer, in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against all the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.
14 Kanaafuu Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa, “Ani balleessaa hojjedheera. Biyya koo keessaa naa baʼi; ani waan ati na gaafattu kam iyyuu siifin kennaa” jedhee gara Laakkiishitti mooticha Asooritti ergaa ergate. Mootichi Asooris, “Meetii taalaantii dhibba sadii fi warqee taalaantii soddoma naa kenni” jedhee Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaa ni gaafate.
Then Hezekiah King of Iudah sent vnto the King of Asshur to Lachish, saying, I haue offended: depart from me, and what thou layest vpon me, I wil beare it. And the King of Asshur appoynted vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah three hudreth talents of siluer, and thirty talets of golde.
15 Kanaafuu Hisqiyaas meetii mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo keessattii fi kan mankuusaa masaraa mootummaa keessatti argamu hunda guuree kenneef.
Therefore Hezekiah gaue all the siluer that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house.
16 Yeroo kanatti Hisqiyaas mootichi Yihuudaa warqee balbalaa fi dhaaba balbala mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti uffisee ture irraa baasee mootii Asooriif kenne.
At the same season did Hezekiah pul off the plates of the doores of the Temple of the Lord, and the pillars (which the sayd Hezekiah King of Iudah had couered ouer) and gaue them to the King of Asshur.
17 Ergasii Mootichi Asoor ajajaa waraanaa isaa ol aanaa, ajajaa hangafaa fi ajajaa waraana isaa loltoota hedduu wajjin Laakkiishii gara Yerusaalemitti Hisqiyaas mootichatti ni erge. Isaanis Yerusaalem dhufanii boʼoo haroo ol aanuu bira karaa lafa qotiisaa namicha wayyaa miicuutti geessu irra dhadhaabatan.
And the King of Asshur sent Tartan, and Rab-saris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great hoste against Ierusalem. And they went vp, and came to Ierusalem, and when they were come vp, they stood by the conduite of the vpper poole, which is by the path of the fullers fielde,
18 Isaan mooticha ni waamsifatan; Eliiyaaqiim ilmi Hilqiyaa bulchaan masaraa mootummaa, Shebnaa barreessaanii fi Yooʼaa ilmi Asaaf galmeessaan isaanitti gad baʼan.
And called to the King. Then came out to them Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.
19 Ajajaan waraanaa sunis akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Akkana jedhaa Hisqiyaasitti himaa: “‘Mootiin guddaan, mootichi Asoor akkana jedha: Of amanachuu kee kana maal irratti hundeeffatte?
And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell ye Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus saith the great King, euen the great King of Asshur, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
20 Ati, “Ani tooftaa fi jabina waraanaa qaba” jetta; garuu dubbii faayidaa hin qabne dubbatta. Ati eenyun abdattee natti fincilta?
Thou thinkest, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre. On whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
21 Kunoo ati Gibxin jechuunis ulee shambaqqoo caccabaa harka nama isatti irkatu kamii iyyuu waraanee madeessu sana abdatteerta! Faraʼoon mootichi Gibxis nama isa abdatu hundaaf akkasuma.
Lo, thou trustest now in this broken staffe of reede, to wit, on Egypt, on which if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt vnto all that trust on him.
22 Yoo isin, “Nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya abdanna” naan jettan, inni isuma Hisqiyaas iddoowwan sagadaa isaatii fi iddoowwan aarsaa isaa diigee Yihuudaa fi Yerusaalemiin, “Isin fuula iddoo aarsaa kan Yerusaalem keessaa kana duratti waaqeffachuu qabdu” jedhe sana mitii?
But if ye say vnto me, We trust in the Lord our God, is not that he whose hie places, and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath sayd to Iudah and Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Ierusalem?
23 “‘Amma kottuutii gooftaa koo mooticha Asoor wajjin dubbadhu; anis yoo ati namoota farda yaabbatan qopheeffachuu dandeesse fardeen kuma lama siifin kenna!
Now therefore giue hostages to my lord the King of Asshur, and I will giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set riders vpon them.
24 Ati yoo gaariiwwanii fi abbootii fardaatiif jettee Gibxin abdatte iyyuu akkamiin qondaaltota gooftaa kootii keessaa ajajaa gad aanaa isaa illee of irraa deebisuu dandeessa?
For how canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my masters seruants, and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and horsemen?
25 Ati waan ani dubbii Waaqayyoo malee iddoo kana lolee barbadeessuuf dhufe seetaa? Waaqayyo mataan isaa akka ani biyya kanatti duulee ishee barbadeessu natti dubbateera.’”
Am I now come vp without the Lord to this place, to destroy it? the Lord sayd to me, Goe vp against this land, and destroy it.
26 Kana irratti Eliiyaaqiim ilma Hilqiyaa, Shebnaa fi Yooʼaa ajajaa waraanaa sanaan, “Maaloo waan nu dhageenyuuf afaan warra Araamaayikiitiin garboota keetti dubbadhu. Utuma namoonni dallaa irra jiran dhagaʼanii afaan Ibrootaatiin nutti hin dubbatin” jedhan.
Then Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Ioah said vnto Rabshakeh, Speake I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, for we vnderstand it, and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
27 Ajajaan waraanaa sun garuu akkana jedhee deebise; “Namni gooftaan koo akka ani waan kana itti himuuf itti na erge gooftaa keessanii fi isin qofaa? Namoota dallaa irra tataaʼan warra akkuma keessan udaan ofii isaanii nyaatanii fincaan ofii isaanii dhuguu qabaniifis mitii?”
But Rabshakeh saide vnto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speake these words, and not to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?
28 Ergasii ajajaan waraanaa sun ol kaʼee afaan Ibrootaatiin akkana jedhe; “Dubbii mooticha guddaa, dubbii mootii Asoor dhagaʼaa!
So Rabshakeh stoode and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and spake, saying, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the king of Asshur.
29 Mootichi akkana jedha: Hisqiyaas isin hin gowwoomsin. Inni harka kootii isin baasuu hin dandaʼu.
Thus sayth the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you out of mine hand.
30 Hisqiyaas, ‘Waaqayyo dhugumaan nu baasa; magaalaan kunis dabarfamtee harka mooticha Asooritti hin kennamtu’ jechuudhaan akka isin Waaqayyoon amanattaniif isin hin sossobin.
Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs, and this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the king of Asshur.
31 “Hisqiyaasin hin dhaggeeffatinaa. Mootiin Asoor akkana jedha: Ana wajjin walii galtee nagaa dhaabbadhaatii natti gad baʼaa. Ergasii tokkoon tokkoon keessan muka wayiniitii fi muka harbuu keessan irraa ni nyaattu; boolla bishaan keessanii keessaas ni dhugdu;
Hearken not vnto Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne figge tree, and drinke euery man of the water of his owne well,
32 kunis hamma ani dhufee gara biyya akkuma biyya keessanii jirtuu, gara biyya midhaanii fi daadhii wayinii haaraatti, gara biyya buddeenaa fi iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitti, gara biyya muka ejersaatii fi dammaatti isin geessutti taʼa. Isin jireenya filadhaa malee duʼa hin filatinaa! “Waan inni, ‘Waaqayyo nu baraara’ jedhee isin dogoggorsuuf Hisqiyaasin hin dhagaʼinaa.
Till I come, and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes, a lande of oliues oyle, and hony, that ye may liue and not die: and obey not Hezekiah, for he deceiueth you, saying, The Lord will deliuer vs.
33 Waaqni saboota kamii iyyuu takkumaa harka mooticha Asoor keessaa biyya ofii baafatee beekaa?
Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his lande out of the hand of the King of Asshur?
34 Waaqonni Hamaatii fi waaqonni Arfaad eessa jiru? Waaqonni Seefarwaayim, waaqonni Heenaatii fi Iwaa eessa jiru? Isaan harka koo keessaa Samaariyaa baasaniiruu?
Where is the god of Hamah, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? how haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?
35 Waaqota biyyoota kanneenii hunda keessaa kamtu harka koo keessaa biyya isaa baasuu dandaʼe? Yoos Waaqayyo akkamiin harka koo keessaa Yerusaalemin baasuu dandaʼa ree?”
Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that haue deliuered their lande out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?
36 Namoonni garuu sababii mootichi, “Deebii hin kenninaafii” jedhee ajajeef inuma calʼisan malee deebii tokko iyyuu hin kennine.
But the people helde their peace, and answered not him a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere ye him not.
37 Kana irratti Eliiyaaqiim ilmi Hilqiyaa bulchaan masaraa mootummaa, Shebnaa barreessaanii fi Yooʼaa ilmi Asaaf galmeessaan uffata isaanii tatarsaasanii gara Hisqiyaas dhaqanii waan ajajaan waraanaa sun jedhe itti ni himan.
Then Eliakim, the sonne of Hilkiah which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
