1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of the reign of Ezekias, [that] Sennacherim, king of the Assyrians, came up against the strong cities of Judea, and took them.
Ní ọdún kẹrìnlá ìjọba Hesekiah, Sennakeribu ọba Asiria kọlu gbogbo àwọn ìlú olódi ní ilẹ̀ Juda ó sì kó gbogbo wọn.
2 And the king of the Assyrians sent Rabsaces out of Laches to Jerusalem to king Ezekias with a large force: and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fuller's field.
Lẹ́yìn náà, ọba Asiria rán olórí ogun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọmọ-ogun láti Lakiṣi sí ọba Hesekiah ní Jerusalẹmu. Nígbà tí ọ̀gágun náà dúró níbi ojúṣàn adágún ti apá òkè, ní ojú ọ̀nà sí pápá alágbàfọ̀,
3 And there went forth to him Heliakim the steward, the [son] of Chelcias, and Somnas the scribe, and Joach the [son] of Asaph, the recorder.
Ṣebna Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah alábojútó ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé, àti Joah ọmọ Asafu akọ̀wé jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀.
4 And Rabsaces said to them, Say to Ezekias, Thus says the great king, the king of the Assyrians, Why are you secure?
Ọ̀gágun náà sọ fún wọn wí pé, “Ẹ sọ fún Hesekiah, “‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí ọba ńlá, ọba Asiria sọ pé: Lórí i kí ni ìwọ gbé ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé tìrẹ yìí lé?
5 Is war carried on with counsel and [mere] words of the lips? and now on whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?
Ìwọ sọ wí pé ìwọ ní ète àti agbára ogun—ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ń sọ ọ̀rọ̀ asán. Ta ni ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tí ìwọ fi ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi?
6 Behold, you trust on this bruised staff of reed, on Egypt: [as soon] as a man leans upon it, it shall go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharao king of Egypt and all that trust in him.
Wò ó nísinsin yìí, ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ejibiti ẹ̀rún igi ọ̀pá lásán tí í gún ni lọ́wọ́ tí í sì í dọ́gbẹ́ sí ni lára tí a bá gbára lé e! Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Farao ọba Ejibiti sí àwọn tí ó bá gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e.
7 But if you say, We trust in the Lord our God;
Bí o bá sì sọ fún mi pé, “Àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa,” kì í ṣe òun ni Hesekiah ti mú àwọn ibi gíga àti pẹpẹ rẹ̀ kúrò, tí ó sì wí fún Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pé, “Ẹ̀yin gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú pẹpẹ yìí”?
8 yet now make an agreement with my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you shall be able to set riders upon them.
“‘Ẹ wá nísinsin yìí, bá ọ̀gá mi pa ìmọ̀ pọ̀, ọba Asiria, èmi yóò fún ọ ní ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ẹṣin bí ìwọ bá le è fi agẹṣin lé wọn lórí!
9 And how can you [then] turn to the face of the satraps? They that trust on the Egyptians for horse and rider, are [our] servants.
Báwo ni ẹ ṣe lè lé ẹyọ kan ṣoṣo padà nínú èyí tí ó kéré jù nínú àwọn balógun olúwa mi, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ejibiti fún kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin?
10 And now, Have we come up against this land to fight against it without the Lord? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Síwájú sí i, ǹjẹ́ mo wa lè wá bá ilẹ̀ yìí jà kí n sì pa á run láìsí Olúwa? Olúwa fún rara rẹ̀ ló sọ pé kí n bá orílẹ̀-èdè yìí jà kí n sì pa á run.’”
11 Then Eliakim and Somnas and Joach said to him, Speak to your servants in the Syrian tongue; for we understand [it]: and speak not to us in the Jewish tongue: and therefore speak you in the ears of the men on the wall?
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Eliakimu, Ṣebna àti Joah sọ fún ọ̀gágun náà pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ máa bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ sọ̀rọ̀ ní èdè Aramaiki, nítorí pé àwa gbọ́ ọ. Má ṣe bá wa sọ̀rọ̀ ní èdè Heberu ní etí àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lórí ògiri mọ́.”
12 And Rabsaces said to them, Has my lord sent me to your lord or to you, to speak these words? [has he] not [sent] me to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat dung, and drink [their] water together with you?
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?”
13 And Rabsaces stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear you the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians:
Lẹ́yìn náà ni ọ̀gágun náà dìde tí ó sì ké síta ní èdè Heberu pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ ọba ńlá, ọba Asiria!
14 thus says the king, Let not Ezekias deceive you with words: he will not be able to deliver you.
Ohun tí ọba wí nìyìí, Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah tàn yín jẹ. Òun kò le è gbà yín sílẹ̀!
15 And let not Ezekias say to you, That God will deliver you, and this city will not at all be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah rọ̀ yín láti gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa nígbà tí ó sọ pé, ‘Olúwa yóò kúkú gbà wá; a kì yóò fi ìlú yìí lé ọba Asiria lọ́wọ́.’
16 Listen not to Ezekias: thus says the king of the Assyrians, If you wish to be blessed, come out to me: and you shall eat every one [of] his vine and his fig-trees, and you shall drink water out of your own cisterns:
“Ẹ má ṣe tẹ́tí sí Hesekiah. Ohun tí ọba Asiria wí nìyìí. Ẹ fi ẹ̀bùn bá mi rẹ́, kí ẹ sì jáde tọ̀ mí wá. Lẹ́yìn náà, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín yóò sì jẹ nínú àjàrà àti igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò sì mu omi nínú kànga rẹ̀,
17 until I come and take you to a land, like your own land, a land of corn and wine, and bread, and vineyards.
títí tí èmi yóò fi mú un yín lọ sí ilẹ̀ kan tí ó dàbí i tiyín, ilẹ̀ tí ó ní irúgbìn oníhóró àti wáìnì tuntun, ilẹ̀ tí ó ní àkàrà àti ọgbà àjàrà.
18 Let not Ezekias deceive you, saying, God will deliver you. Have the gods of the nations delivered each one his own land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
“Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah ṣì yín lọ́nà nígbà tí ó sọ wí pé, ‘Olúwa yóò gbà wá.’ Ǹjẹ́ ọlọ́run orílẹ̀-èdè kan ha ti gbà á kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọba Asiria bí?
19 Where is the god of Emath, and Arphath? and where is the god of Eppharuaim? have they been able to deliver Samaria out of my hand?
Níbo ni àwọn òrìṣà Hamati àti Arpadi ha wà? Níbo ni àwọn òrìṣà Sefarfaimi ha wà? Ǹjẹ́ wọn ti já Samaria gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi bí?
20 Which is the god of all these nations, that has delivered his land out of my hand, that God should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Èwo nínú àwọn òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí ló ha ti dáàbò bo ilẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi? Báwo ni Olúwa ṣe wá le gba Jerusalẹmu kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi?”
21 And they were silent, and none answered him a word; because the king had commanded that none should answer.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn náà dákẹ́ rọ́rọ́ wọn kò sì mú èsì kankan wá, nítorí ọba ti pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe dá a lóhùn.”
22 And Heliakim the [son] of Chelcias, the steward, and Somnas the military scribe, and Joach the [son] of Asaph, the recorder, came in to Ezekias, having their garments tore, and they reported to him the words of Rabsaces.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah alákòóso ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé àti Joah ọmọ Asafu akọ̀wé àkọsílẹ̀ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hesekiah pẹ̀lú aṣọ wọn ní fífàya, wọ́n sì sọ ohun tí ọ̀gágun ti wí.
