2 Chronicles 32

1 Lẹ́yìn gbogbo èyí ti Hesekiah ti fi òtítọ́ ṣe, Sennakeribu ọba Asiria wá ó sì gbógun ti Juda. Ó gbógun ti àwọn ìlú ààbò, ó ń ronú láti ṣẹ́gun wọn fún ara rẹ̀.

After these things, and after this manner of truth, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians arrived. And entering Judah, he besieged the fortified cities, desiring to seize them.

2 Nígbà tí Hesekiah rí i pé Sennakeribu ti wá, àti pé ó fẹ́ láti dá ogun sílẹ̀ lórí Jerusalẹmu,

And when Hezekiah had seen this, specifically that Sennacherib had arrived, and that the entire force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,

3 Ó gbèrò pẹ̀lú àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ láti di orísun omi ní ìta ìlú ńlá, wọ́n sì ràn án lọ́wọ́.

he took counsel with the rulers and with the most valiant men, so that they might obstruct the heads of the springs which were beyond the city. And with everyone discerning the same judgment about this,

4 Ọ̀pọ̀ ogun ọkùnrin péjọ, wọ́n sì dí gbogbo àwọn orísun àti àwọn omi tó ń sàn tí ó ń sàn gba ti ilẹ̀ náà. “Kí ni ó dé tí àwọn ọba Asiria fi wá tí wọ́n sì rí ọ̀pọ̀ omi?” Wọ́n wí.

he gathered together a great multitude, and they obstructed all the springs, and the brook which was flowing through the midst of the land, saying: “Otherwise, the kings of the Assyrians might arrive and find an abundance of water.”

5 Nígbà náà ó ṣiṣẹ́ gidigidi ní títún gbogbo ara ògiri tí ó ti bàjẹ́ ṣe, ó sì ń kọ́ àwọn ilé ìṣọ́ gíga sókè rẹ̀. Ó kọ́ ògiri mìíràn sí ìta. Ó sì tún pẹ̀lú ibi ìtẹ́jú ilé ní ti ìlú ńlá Dafidi. Ó ṣe ọ̀pọ̀ iye ohun ìjà àti àwọn àpáta.

Also, acting industriously, he built up the entire wall that had been broken apart. And he constructed towers upon it, and another wall outside it. And he repaired Millo, in the City of David. And he made all kinds of weapons and shields.

6 Ó yan àwọn ìjòyè ológun sórí àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì pè wọ́n jọ, níwájú rẹ̀ ní ìbámu ní ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi. Ó sì ki wọ́n láyà pẹ̀lú àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí:

And he appointed leaders of the warriors within the army. And he summoned them all to the wide street of the gate of the city. And he spoke to their heart, saying:

7 “Ẹ jẹ́ alágbára, àti kí ẹ sì ní ìgboyà. Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù tàbí ní ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì ọkàn nítorí tí ọba Asiria àti ọ̀pọ̀ ọmọ-ogun pẹ̀lú rẹ̀, nítorí tí agbára ńlá wà pẹ̀lú wa ju òun lọ.

“Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid. Neither should you dread the king of the Assyrians and the entire multitude that is with him. For many more are with us than with him.

8 Agbára ẹran-ara nìkan ni ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ ṣùgbọ́n, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa pẹ̀lú wa láti ràn wá lọ́wọ́ àti láti ja ìjà wa.” Àwọn ènìyàn sì ní ìgboyà láti ara ohun tí Hesekiah ọba Juda wí.

For with him is an arm of flesh; with us is the Lord our God, who is our helper, and who fights for us.” And the people were strengthened by this type of words from Hezekiah, the king of Judah.

9 Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí Sennakeribu ọba Asiria àti gbogbo àwọn ogun rẹ̀ ń gbógun sí Lakiṣi. Ó rán àwọn ìjòyè rẹ̀ sí Jerusalẹmu pẹ̀lú iṣẹ́ yí fún Hesekiah ọba Juda àti fún gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn Juda tí ó wà níbẹ̀:

After these things, Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he and his entire army were besieging Lachish) to Hezekiah, the king of Judah, and to all the people who were in the city, saying:

10 “Èyí ni ohun tí Sennakeribu ọba Asiria wí, ‘Lórí kí ni ẹ̀yin gbé ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé yín lé, tí ẹ̀yin fi dúró sí Jerusalẹmu lábẹ́ ìgbógun sí?’

“Thus says Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians: In whom do you have faith, as you sit besieged in Jerusalem?

11 Nígbà tí Hesekiah wí pé, ‘Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa yóò gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọba Asiria,’ ó ń ṣì yín tọ́ ṣọ́nà, kí ẹ bá lè kú fún ebi àti òǹgbẹ.

Does not Hezekiah deceive you, so that he would deliver you to die from hunger and thirst, by affirming that the Lord your God will free you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?

12 Ṣé Hesekiah fúnra rẹ̀ kò mú àwọn ọlọ́run ibi gíga àti àwọn pẹpẹ kúrò, tí ó ń wí fún Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pé, ‘Ẹ̀yin gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú pẹpẹ kan àti láti sun àwọn ẹbọ lórí rẹ̀’?

Is this not the same Hezekiah who destroyed his own high places and altars, and who instructed Judah and Jerusalem, saying: ‘You shall worship before one altar, and you shall burn incense upon it?’

13 “Ṣé ẹ̀yin kò mọ̀ ohun tí èmi àti àwọn baba mi ti ṣe sí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ mìíràn? Ǹjẹ́ àwọn Ọlọ́run tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn ní agbára láti gba ilẹ̀ wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi?

Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Have the gods of the nations and all the lands prevailed so as to free their region from my hand?

14 Ta ni nínú gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí tí àwọn baba mi ti parun, tí ó le gbà ènìyàn rẹ̀ lọ́wọ́ mi, tí Ọlọ́run yín yóò fi le gbà yín lọ́wọ́ mi?

Who is there, out of all the gods of the nations that my fathers destroyed, who is able to rescue his people from my hand, so that now also your God would be able to rescue you from this hand?

15 Nísinsin yìí, ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah ó tàn yín àti ṣì yín tọ́ ṣọ́nà báyìí. Ẹ má ṣe gbà á gbọ́, nítorí tí kò sí ọlọ́run orílẹ̀-èdè mìíràn tàbí ìjọba tí ó ní agbára láti gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi tàbí lọ́wọ́ àwọn baba mi, mélòó mélòó wa ni Ọlọ́run yín tí yóò gbà yín kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi!”

Therefore, let not Hezekiah deceive or delude you with vain persuasion. And you should not believe him. For if no god out of all the nations and kingdoms was able to free his people from my hand, and from the hand of my fathers, consequently neither will your God be able to rescue you from my hand.”

16 Àwọn ìjòyè Sennakeribu sọ̀rọ̀ síwájú sí i ní ìlòdì sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àti sí ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ Hesekiah.

Then too, his servants were speaking many other things against the Lord God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

17 Ọba pẹ̀lú sì kọ àwọn ìwé ní bíbú Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli àti ní sísọ èyí ní ìlòdì sí: “Ní gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn ilẹ̀ mìíràn kò ṣe gba àwọn ènìyàn wọn kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Ọlọ́run Hesekiah kì yóò gba àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi.”

Also, he wrote letters full of blasphemy against the Lord God of Israel. And against him he said: “Just as the gods of other nations were unable to free their people from my hand, so also is the God of Hezekiah unable to rescue his people from this hand.”

18 Lẹ́yìn náà wọ́n pè jáde ní èdè Heberu sí àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu tí ó wà lára ògiri, láti dá ọjọ́ fún wọn, ki wọn kí ó lè fi agbára mú ìlú náà.

Moreover, he also shouted with a great clamor, in the language of the Jews, toward the people who were sitting upon the walls of Jerusalem, so that he might frighten them and so seize the city.

19 Wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀ nípa Ọlọ́run Jerusalẹmu bí wọ́n ti ṣe nípa àwọn ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn mìíràn ti àgbáyé, iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.

And he was speaking against the God of Jerusalem, just as against the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are works of the hands of men.

20 Ọba Hesekiah àti wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi sọkún jáde nínú àdúrà sí ọ̀run nípa èyí.

And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed against this blasphemy, and they cried out to heaven.

21 Olúwa sì ran angẹli tí ó pa gbogbo àwọn ọmọ-ogun àti àwọn adarí àti àwọn ìjòyè tí ó wà nínú àgọ́ ọba Asiria run. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó padà sí ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ ní ìtìjú. Nígbà tí ó sì lọ sínú ilé ọlọ́run rẹ̀, díẹ̀ nínú àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ gé e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà.

And the Lord sent an Angel, who struck all the experienced men and warriors, and the leaders of the army of the king of the Assyrians. And he returned in disgrace to his own land. And when he had entered the house of his god, the sons who had gone forth from his loins killed him with the sword.

22 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa yọ Hesekiah àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu kúrò lọ́wọ́ Sennakeribu ọba Asiria àti lọ́wọ́ gbogbo àwọn mìíràn. Ó tọ́jú wọn ní gbogbo ọ̀nà.

And the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, and from the hand of all. And he presented to them peace on every side.

23 Ọ̀pọ̀ mú ọrẹ wá sí Jerusalẹmu fún Olúwa àti àwọn ẹ̀bùn iyebíye fún Hesekiah ọba Juda. Ó sì gbéga lójú gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè lẹ́yìn náà.

And now many were bringing victims and sacrifices to the Lord in Jerusalem, and gifts to Hezekiah, the king of Judah. And after these things, he was exalted before all the nations.

24 Ní ọjọ́ wọ́n nì Hesekiah ṣe àárẹ̀, ó sì dójú ikú. Ó gbàdúrà sí Olúwa tí ó dá a lóhùn, tí ó sì fún un ní àmì àgbàyanu.

In those days, Hezekiah was sick, even unto death, and he prayed to the Lord. And he heeded him, and gave to him a sign.

25 Ṣùgbọ́n ọkàn Hesekiah ṣe ìgbéraga, kò sì kọbi ara sí i inú rere tí a fihàn án. Nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa wà lórí rẹ̀ àti lórí Juda àti Jerusalẹmu.

But he did not repay according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up. And so wrath was brought against him, and against Judah and Jerusalem.

26 Nígbà náà ni Hesekiah ronúpìwàdà ní ti ìgbéraga ọkàn rẹ̀, àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, nítorí náà, ìbínú Olúwa kò wá sí orí wọn ní ìgbà àwọn ọjọ́ Hesekiah.

And after this, he was humbled, because he had exalted his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And therefore the wrath of the Lord did not overwhelm them in the days of Hezekiah.

27 Hesekiah ní ọ̀pọ̀ ọrọ̀ ńlá àti ọlá, ó sì ṣe àwọn ilé ìṣúra fún fàdákà àti wúrà rẹ̀ àti fún àwọn òkúta iyebíye rẹ̀, àwọn tùràrí olóòórùn dídùn àwọn àpáta àti gbogbo oríṣìí nǹkan iyebíye.

Now Hezekiah was wealthy and very famous. And he gathered for himself many treasures of silver and gold and precious stones, of aromatics, and all kinds of weapons, and vessels of great price,

28 Ó kọ́ àwọn ilé pẹ̀lú láti tọ́jú àwọn ọkà àwọn tí wọ́n ka, ọtí tuntun àti òróró; ó sì ṣe àwọn àtíbàbà fún oríṣìí àwọn ẹran ọ̀sìn àti àwọn àṣémọ́ fun àwọn ọ̀wọ̀ ẹran.

and also repositories of grain, wine, and oil, and stalls for every beast of burden, and fencing for cattle.

29 Ó kọ́ àwọn ìletò, ó sì gba ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn ọ̀wọ́ ẹran àti agbo ẹran, nítorí tí Ọlọ́run ti fún un ní ọ̀pọ̀ ọrọ̀ ńlá.

And he built for himself cities. For indeed, he had innumerable herds and flocks of sheep. For the Lord had given to him an exceedingly great substance.

30 Hesekiah ni ó dí ojú ìṣúra apá òkè ti orísun Gihoni. Ó sì gbe gba ìsàlẹ̀ sí ìhà ìwọ oòrùn ìlú ńlá ti Dafidi. Ó ṣe àṣeyọrí rere nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó dáwọ́lé.

This same Hezekiah was the one who blocked the upper font of the waters of Gihon, and who diverted them down to the western part of the City of David. In all his works, he prosperously accomplished whatever he willed.

31 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí a rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ ọba wá láti Babeli láti bi í lérè nípa àmì ìyanu tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ nì, Ọlọ́run fi sílẹ̀ láti dán an wò àti láti mọ gbogbo nǹkan tí ó wà lọ́kàn rẹ̀.

Yet still, concerning the legates from the leaders of Babylon, who had been sent to him so that they might inquire about the portent which had happened upon the earth, God permitted him to be tempted, so that everything might be made known which was in his heart.

32 Gbogbo iṣẹ́ yòókù ti ìjọba Hesekiah àti àwọn ìṣe rẹ̀, ìfarajì rẹ̀ ni a kọ sínú ìwé ìran wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi nínú ìwé àwọn ọba Juda àti Israẹli

Now the rest of the words of Hezekiah, and his mercies, have been written in the vision of the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amos, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

33 Hesekiah sùn pẹ̀lú àwọn baba rẹ̀. A sì sin ín sórí òkè níbi tí àwọn ibojì àwọn àtẹ̀lé Dafidi wà. Gbogbo Juda àti àwọn ènìyàn Jerusalẹmu ni ó bu ọlá fún un nígbà tí ó kú. Manase ọmọ rẹ̀ sì rọ́pò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.

And Hezekiah slept with his fathers. And they buried him above the sepulchers of the sons of David. And all of Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, celebrated his funeral. And his son, Manasseh, reigned in his place.
