2 Kings 18
1 Ní ọdún kẹta Hosea ọmọ Ela ọba Israẹli, Hesekiah ọmọ Ahasi ọba Juda bẹ̀rẹ̀ ìjọba.
And it came to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
2 Ó jẹ́ ẹni ọdún mẹ́ẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n nígbà tí ó ti di ọba, ó sì jẹ ọba ní Jerusalẹmu fún ọdún mọ́kàndínlọ́gbọ̀n. Orúkọ ìyá rẹ̀ sì ni Abijah ọmọbìnrin Sekariah.
Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and, twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Abi, daughter of Zachariah.
3 Ó sì ṣe ohun tí ó dára níwájú Olúwa, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i baba rẹ̀ Dafidi ti ṣe.
And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —according to all that, David his father, did.
4 Ó mú ibi gíga náà kúrò, ó sì fọ́ àwọn ère òkúta, ó sì gé àwọn ère Aṣerah lulẹ̀, ó sì fọ́ ejò idẹ tí Mose ti ṣe náà túútúú, títí di ọjọ́ tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ń sun tùràrí sí. (Wọ́n sì pè é ní Nehuṣitani.)
He, removed the high places, and brake in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Sacred Stem, —and beat in pieces the serpent of bronze that, Moses, had made, because, until those days, had the sons of Israel been burning incense thereunto, so he called it Nehushtan.
5 Hesekiah sì gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli. Kò sì ṣí ẹnìkan tí ó dàbí tirẹ̀ lára gbogbo àwọn ọba Juda, bóyá kí ó tó jẹ tàbí lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.
In Yahweh, God of Israel, did he trust, —so that, after him, was none like him, among all the kings of Judah, nor that were before him;
6 Ó súnmọ́ Olúwa, kò sì dẹ́kun láti tì í lẹ́yìn: ó sì pa òfin Olúwa mọ́ tí ó ti fi fún Mose.
and he did cleave unto Yahweh, he turned not away from following him, —but kept his commandments, which, Yahweh, commanded, Moses.
7 Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀; ó sì ń ṣe rere nínú gbogbo ohun tí ó dáwọ́lé. Ó ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀ sí ọba Asiria kò sì sìn ín.
So Yahweh was with him, whithersoever he went forth, he prospered, —and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.
8 Láti ilé ìṣọ́ títí dé ìlú olódi, ó sì pa àwọn ará Filistini run, àti títí dé Gasa àti agbègbè rẹ̀.
He, smote the Philistines, as far as Gazah, and her boundaries, —from the watchmen’s tower even to the fortified city.
9 Ní ọdún kẹrin ọba Hesekiah, nígbà tí ó jẹ́ ọdún keje Hosea ọmọ Ela ọba Israẹli. Ṣalamaneseri ọba Asiria yàn lára Samaria ó sì tẹ̀dó tì í.
And it came to pass, in the fourth year of King Hezekiah—the same, was the seventh year of Hosea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and laid siege against it;
10 Lẹ́yìn ọdún mẹ́ta Asiria gbé e. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n kó Samaria ní ọdún kẹfà Hesekiah tí ó sì jẹ́ ọdún kẹsànán Hosea ọba Israẹli.
and he captured it at the end of three years, in the sixth year of Hezekiah, —the same, is the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, was Samaria captured.
11 Ọba Asiria lé Israẹli kúrò ní Asiria, wọ́n sì ṣe àtìpó wọn ní Hala, ní Gosani létí odò Habori àti ní ìlú àwọn ará Media.
So the king of Assyria drave away Israel to Assyria, —and settled them in Halah, and in Habor, by the river of Gozan, and the mountains of Media:
12 Èyí ṣẹlẹ̀ nítorí wọn kò pa àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run wọn mọ́. Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n ti dà májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ gbogbo èyí tí Mose ìránṣẹ́ Olúwa ti pàṣẹ. Wọn kò fi etí wọn sílẹ̀ sí òfin wọn kò sì gbé wọn jáde.
because they hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh their God, but transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, —they neither hearkened nor performed.
13 Ní ọdún kẹrìnlá tí Hesekiah jẹ ọba, Sennakeribu ọba Asiria kọlu gbogbo ìlú olódi ti Juda ó sì pa wọ́n run.
And, in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, came up Sennacherib king of Assyria, against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
14 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Hesekiah ọba Juda sì ránṣẹ́ yìí sí ọba Asiria ní Lakiṣi, wí pé, “Mo ti ṣẹ̀, padà lẹ́yìn mi: èmi yóò sì san ohunkóhun tí ìwọ bá béèrè lọ́wọ́ mi.” Ọba Asiria sì bu fún Hesekiah ọba Juda ọ̀ọ́dúnrún tálẹ́ǹtì fàdákà àti ọgbọ̀n tálẹ́ǹtì wúrà.
Then sent Hezekiah king of Judah unto the king of Assyria, to Lachish, saying—I have sinned, Return from me, What thou shalt lay upon me, I will bear. So the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah, three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.
15 Hesekiah fún un ní gbogbo fàdákà tí a rí nínú ilé Olúwa àti nínú ìṣúra ilé ọba.
And Hezekiah delivered up all the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king.
16 Ní àkókò yìí Hesekiah ọba Juda ké wúrà tí ó wà ní ẹnu ìlẹ̀kùn ilé Olúwa, kúrò àti ti òpó tí Hesekiah ọba Juda ti gbéró ó sì fi fún ọba Asiria.
At that time, Hezekiah cut off the doors of the temple of Yahweh, and the columns, which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, —and gave them unto the king of Assyria.
17 Ọba Asiria rán alákòóso gíga jùlọ, ìjòyè pàtàkì àti àwọn adarí pápá pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ogun tí ó pọ̀, láti Lakiṣi sí ọba Hesekiah ní Jerusalẹmu. Wọ́n wá sí òkè Jerusalẹmu wọ́n sì dúró ní etí ìdarí omi àbàtà òkè, ní ojú ọ̀nà tó lọ sí òpópó pápá alágbàfọ̀.
And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rab-shakeh, from Lachish unto King Hezekiah, with a heavy force to Jerusalem, —so they came up and drew near to Jerusalem, and took their stand by the upper channel of the pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
18 Wọ́n sì pe ọba; àti Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah ẹni tí í ṣe ilé olùtọ́jú, Ṣebna akọ̀wé, àti Joah ọmọkùnrin Asafu tí ó jẹ́ akọ̀wé ìrántí jáde pẹ̀lú wọn.
Then called they for the king, and there went out unto them Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, —and Shebnah, the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder.
19 Olùdarí pápá wí fún wọn pé, “Sọ fún Hesekiah pé, “‘Èyí ni ohun tí ọba ńlá, ọba Asiria sọ: Kí ni ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé yìí tí ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé?
And Rab-shakeh said unto them—Pray you, say unto Hezekiah, —Thus, saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What trust is this wherewith thou dost trust?
20 Ìwọ wí pé ìwọ ni ìmọ̀ àti agbára láti jagun, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ sọ̀rọ̀ òfìfo lásán. Ǹjẹ́ ta ni ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ lé, tí ìwọ fi ń ṣe ọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi?
Thou hast said—they are only words of the lips!—Counsel and might [have I] for the war. Now, in whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
21 Wò ó, nísinsin yìí, ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ lé Ejibiti, ẹ̀rún ọ̀pá pẹlẹbẹ ìyè fífọ́ yìí, èyí tí yóò wọ inú ọwọ́ ẹni tí ó sì bá fi ara tì í. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Farao ọba Ejibiti ṣe rí fún gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbẹ́kẹ̀ wọn lé e.
Now, lo! thou dost trust thyself 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.
22 Tí ìwọ bá sì sọ fún mi pé, “Àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀ wa lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run.” Òun ha kọ́ ní ẹnìkan náà tí ibi gíga àti àwọn pẹpẹ tí Hesekiah mú kúrò, tí ó wí fún Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pé, “O gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú pẹpẹ yìí ní Jerusalẹmu”?
But, if ye should 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 down, in Jerusalem?
23 “‘Wá nísinsin yìí, ṣe àdéhùn pẹ̀lú ọ̀gá mi, ọba Asiria èmi yóò sì fún ọ ní ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ẹṣin tí ìwọ bá lè kó àwọn tí yóò gùn ún sí orí rẹ!
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.
24 Báwo ni ìwọ yóò ha ti ṣe le yí ojú balógun kan tí ó kéré jùlọ padà nínú àwọn ìránṣẹ́ olúwa mi, tí ìwọ sì gbẹ́kẹ̀ rẹ lé Ejibiti fún àwọn kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹlẹ́ṣin?
How then wilt thou turn back the face of one pasha of the least of my lord’s servants? Or hast thou, on thy part, trusted to Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
25 Síwájú sí i, èmi ti wá láti mú àti láti parun ibí yìí láìsí ọ̀rọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa? Olúwa fún rara rẹ̀ sọ fún mi pé kí n yára láti yan lórí ìlú yìí, kí n sì pa á run.’”
Now, is it, without Yahweh, that I have come up against this place, to destroy it? Yahweh himself, said unto me, Go thou up against this land, and destroy it.
26 Nígbà náà Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah, àti Ṣebna àti Joah sọ fún olùdarí pápá pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ sọ̀rọ̀ fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ní èdè Aramaiki, nítorí ti ó tí yé wa, má ṣe sọ̀rọ̀ fún wa pẹ̀lú èdè Heberu ní etí ìgbọ́ àwọn ènìyàn tí ń bẹ lórí odi.”
Then said Eliakim son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh: Speak, we pray thee, unto thy servants in the, Syrian, language, for, we, can, understand, it, —and do not speak with us in, the Jews’, language, in the ears of the people who are upon the wall.
27 Ṣùgbọ́n aláṣẹ dáhùn pé, “Ṣé fún ọ̀gá rẹ àti ìwọ nìkan ní ọ̀gá mi rán mi sí láti sọ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí kì í sì í ṣe fún àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó jókòó lórí odi ni gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ, ni yóò ní láti jẹ ìgbẹ́ ará wọn kí wọ́n sì mu ìtọ̀ ará wọn?”
But Rab-shakeh said unto them—Is it, concerning thy lord, and concerning 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 their own dung and drink their own water with you?
28 Nígbà náà, aláṣẹ dìde, ó sì pè jáde ní èdè Heberu pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọba ńlá, ọba Asiria!
So then Rab-shakeh took his stand, and cried out with a loud voice, in, the Jews’, language, —and spake, and said, Hear ye the message of the great king, the king of Assyria: —
29 Èyí ni ohun tí ọba sọ, má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah tàn ọ́ jẹ kò le gbà ọ́ kúrò ní ọwọ́ mi.
Thus, saith the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not he able to deliver you out of his hand;
30 Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah mú yín gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa nípa sísọ pé, ‘Olúwa yóò gbà wá nítòótọ́; ìlú yìí ni wọn kò ní fi lé ọba ìlú Asiria lọ́wọ́.’
Neither let Hezekiah cause you to trust in Yahweh, saying, Yahweh, will, certainly deliver, us, —this city, therefore, shall not be given over into the hand of the king of Assyria.
31 “Má ṣe tẹ́tí sí Hesekiah. Èyí ni ohun tí ọba Asiria wí pé, ‘Fi ẹ̀bùn wá ojúrere mi, kí o sì jáde tọ̀ mí wá.’ Nígbà náà olúkúlùkù yín yóò jẹun láti inú àjàrà rẹ̀ àti igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́, yóò sì mu omi láti inú àmù rẹ̀,
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;
32 títí tí èmi yóò fi wá mú ọ lọ sí ilé gẹ́gẹ́ bí i tìrẹ, ilẹ̀ ọkà àti ọtí wáìnì, ilẹ̀ oúnjẹ àti ọgbà àjàrà, ilẹ̀ òróró olifi àti ti ilẹ̀ oyin; yàn ìyè má sì ṣe yàn ikú! “Kí ẹ má ṣe gbọ́ tí Hesekiah, nítorí ó ń tàn yín tí ó ba tí wí pé, ‘Olúwa yóò gbà wá?’
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, a land of oil olive and honey, so shall ye live, and not die, —But do not hearken unto Hezekiah, for he would persuade you, saying, Yahweh, will deliver us!
33 Ṣé òrìṣà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè kankan ti gba ilé rẹ lọ́wọ́ àwọn ọba Asiria?
Have, the gods of the nations, at all delivered, any one of them, his country, out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
34 Níbo ni àwọn òrìṣà Hamati àti Arpadi gbé wà? Níbo ni àwọn òrìṣà Sefarfaimi, Hena àti Iffa gbé wà? Wọ́n ha gba Samaria kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi bí?
Where are the gods of Hamath, and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena and Ivvah? Yea, did they deliver Samaria out of my hand?
35 Ta ni nínú gbogbo àwọn òrìṣà ilẹ̀ yìí tí ó ti gbìyànjú láti gba ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi? Báwo ni Olúwa yóò ṣe gba Jerusalẹmu kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi?”
Who are they, among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country, out of my hand, —that, Yahweh, should deliver, Jerusalem, out of my hand?
36 Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà dákẹ́ síbẹ̀ wọn kò sì sọ ohunkóhun, láti fi fèsì, nítorí ọba ti paláṣẹ, “Ẹ má ṣe dá a lóhùn.”
But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word, —for, the command of the king, it was, saying—Ye must not answer him.
37 Nígbà náà Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah olùtọ́jú ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé àti Joah ọmọ Asafu akọ̀wé ránṣẹ́ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hesekiah, pẹ̀lú aṣọ wọn yíya, ó sì wí fún un ohun tí olùdarí pápá ti sọ.
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 Rab-shakeh.
