2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things faithfully described, Saneherib King of Asshur came and entred into Iudah, and besieged the strong cities, and thought to winne them for him selfe.
Mgbe Hezekaya ji ikwesi ntụkwasị obi rụchaa ọrụ ndị a niile, Senakerib bụ eze Asịrịa, bịara nʼime Juda megide ya. Ọ nọchibidoro obodo niile nke e wusiri ike, na-eche na ọ ga-emeri ha nye onwe ya.
2 When Hezekiah sawe that Saneherib was come, and that his purpose was to fight against Ierusalem,
Mgbe o doro eze anya na Senakerib bịara ka o buo agha megide Jerusalem,
3 Then he tooke counsell with his princes and his nobles, to stoppe the water of the fountaines without the citie: and they did helpe him.
Hezekaya mere ngwangwa kpọkọta ụmụ eze niile na ndịisi agha ya. Mgbe ha zukọtara, ha kpebiri iwuchi isi iyi ahụ niile na-esi nʼazụ obodo na-asọpụta. Ha mekwara otu a.
4 So many of the people assembled themselues, and stopt all the fountaines, and the riuer that ranne through the middes of the countrey, saying, Why should the Kings of Asshur come, and finde much water?
Ha kpọkọtara ọtụtụ ndị ọrụ, ndị gara gbochie isi iyi niile, mee ka mmiri gharakwa ịsọpụta nʼala ahụ niile. Ha mere nke a nʼihi na ha achọghị ka eze ndị Asịrịa na ndị agha ya nweta mmiri ha ga-aṅụ mgbe ha bịaruru ibuso Jerusalem agha.
5 And he tooke courage, and built all the broken wall, and made vp the towers, and another wall without, and repayred Millo in the citie of Dauid, and made many dartes and shields.
Hezekaya wuzikwara mgbidi obodo ahụ, wusie ha ike nʼebe niile ọ na-ada ada. O wukwara mgbidi ọzọ gburugburu mgbidi nke ochie ahụ. O wusikwara ebe siri ike nke Milo dị nʼobodo Devid ike, kpụọkwa ọtụtụ ngwa agha na ọta.
6 And he set captaines of warre ouer the people, and assembled them to him in the broade place of the gate of the citie, and spake comfortably vnto them, saying,
O tinyere ndị agha niile nọ nʼobodo ahụ nʼokpuru ndịisi agha na-achị ha, mee ka ha niile zukọta nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke obodo. Nʼebe ahụ ka ọ nọ gwa ha okwu sị ha,
7 Be strong and couragious: feare not, neither be afraide for the King of Asshur, neither for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with vs, then is with him.
“Dịrịnụ ike, unu adakwala mba. Unu atụla ụjọ maọbụ daa mba nʼihi eze Asịrịa na usuu ndị agha ya, nʼihi na onye dịnyeere anyị ka ya ike.
8 With him is an arme of flesh, but with vs is the Lord our God for to helpe vs, and to fight our battels. Then the people were confirmed by the wordes of Hezekiah King of Iudah.
Ihe nọnyere ya bụ ogwe aka nke anụ ahụ, ma nke nọnyere anyị bụ Onyenwe anyị, Chineke anyị, inyere anyị aka na ibu agha anyị niile.” Okwu a, nke Hezekaya bụ eze Juda kwuru, mere ka ndị Juda nwee agbamume.
9 After this, did Saneherib King of Asshur send his seruants to Ierusalem (while he was against Lachish, and all his dominion with him) vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah and vnto all Iudah that were at Ierusalem, saying,
Mgbe e mesiri, mgbe Senakerib eze Asịrịa na ndị agha ya niile nọchibidoro Lakish, o zipụrụ ndị ọrụ ya gaa Jerusalem, ka ha jiri ozi a gaa maka Hezekaya, bụ eze Juda na ndị Juda niile ndị nọ nʼebe ahụ:
10 Thus saith Saneherib the King of Asshur, Wherein doe ye trust, that ye will remaine in Ierusalem, during the siege?
“Nke a bụ ihe Senakerib, bụ eze Asịrịa sịrị: Ọ bụ na gịnị ka ntụkwasị obi gị dabere, mere i ji nọgidesie ike na Jerusalem nʼọnọdụ nnọchibido a?
11 Doeth not Hezekiah entice you to giue ouer your selues vnto death by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliuer vs out of the hande of the King of Asshur?
Mgbe Hezekaya na-asị, ‘Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị ga-azọpụta anyị site nʼaka eze Asịrịa,’ ọ bụ aghụghọ ka ọ na-aghọ unu. Ọ na-eduhie unu, na-achọ ka unu nwụọ nʼagụụ nakwa akpịrị ịkpọ nkụ.
12 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his hie places and his altars, and commanded Iudah and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall worshippe before one altar, and burne incense vpon it?
Ọ bụghị Hezekaya na onwe ya wezugara ebe ya niile dị elu na ebe ịchụ aja ya niile, na-asị Juda na Jerusalem, ‘Unu aghaghị ịkpọ isiala nʼotu ebe ịchụ aja, chụọkwa aja nʼelu ya’?
13 Knowe ye not what I and my fathers haue done vnto all the people of other countreyes? were the gods of the nations of other landes able to deliuer their land out of mine hande?
“Unu amaghị ihe mụ na nna m ha bụ ndị bu m ụzọ chịa mere ndị ala ọzọ? Chi niile nke mba ndị ahụ niile ha nwere ike zọpụta ala ha site nʼaka m?
14 Who is he of al the gods of those natios (that my fathers haue destroied) that could deliuer his people out of mine hande? that your God should be able to deliuer you out of mine hand?
Ọ bụ onye nʼetiti chi niile nke mba ndị a niile, bụ ndị nna nna m ha bibiri, napụtarala ndị ya site nʼaka m? Aṅaa ka chi unu ga-esi zọpụta unu site nʼaka m?
15 Nowe therefore let not Hezekiah deceiue you, nor seduce you after this sort, neither beleeue ye him: for none of all the gods of any nation or kingdome was able to deliuer his people out of mine hande and out of the hande of my fathers: howe much lesse shall your gods deliuer you out of mine hande?
Unu ekwela ka Hezekaya duhie unu, rafuokwa unu otu a. Unu ekwenyekwarala ya, nʼihi na ọ dịghị chi ọbụla maọbụ nke mba ọbụla maọbụ alaeze ọbụla pụrụ ịnapụta ndị ya site nʼaka m maọbụ nʼaka nna m ha. Ka ọ bụrụzie chi unu ga-abụ nke ga-anapụta unu site nʼaka m!”
16 And his seruants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his seruant Hezekiah.
Nʼụzọ dị otu a ka ndị ozi Senakerib ahụ ji leda Onyenwe anyị Chineke, na Hezekaya anya kwuokwa okwu mkparị megide ha.
17 He wrote also letters, blaspheming the Lord God of Israel and speaking against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other countreies could not deliuer their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliuer his people out of mine hande.
Emesịa, Senakerib dekwara akwụkwọ mkparị ndị ọzọ, nke ọ nọ nʼime ya kwuluo Onyenwe anyị Chineke Izrel, na-asị, “Dịka chi ndị ala ọzọ niile enweghị ike zọpụta ndị ha site nʼaka m, otu a kwa, Chineke nke Hezekaya apụghịkwa ịzọpụta ndị ya site nʼaka m.”
18 Then they cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes speach vnto the people of Ierusalem that were on the wall, to feare them and to astonish them, that they might take the citie.
Mgbe ahụ, ha ji oke olu kpọkuo ndị Jerusalem, bụ ndị nọ na mgbidi ahụ nʼasụsụ Hibru, imenye ha egwu nakwa ime ka ụjọ tụọ ha, ka ha nwee ike were obodo ahụ.
19 Thus they spake against the God of Ierusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, euen the workes of mans hands,
Ha kwuru okwu ọjọọ dị iche iche banyere Chineke nke Jerusalem, dịka ha si kwuo megide chi niile nke ndị ọzọ dị nʼụwa, bụ ọrụ aka mmadụ.
20 But Hezekiah the King, and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz prayed against this and cryed to heauen.
Mgbe ahụ, Hezekaya bụ eze, na Aịzaya onye amụma, nwa Emọz, kpọkuru Chineke nke eluigwe nʼekpere.
21 And the Lord sent an Angel which destroyed all the valiant men, and the princes and captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur: so he returned with shame to his owne lande. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came foorth of his owne bowels, slewe him there with the sworde.
Onyenwe anyị zipụrụ otu mmụọ ozi, onye gara tigbuo ndị agha niile bụ dike, ndị ọchịagha na ndịisi niile nọ nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu nke eze Asịrịa. Ya mere, Senakerib ji oke ihere laghachi nʼala ya. Ma mgbe ọ gara nʼụlọ chi ya, ụfọdụ nʼime ụmụ ya ndị ikom, ndị bụ anụ ahụ na ọbara ya, were mma agha gbuo ya nʼebe ahụ.
22 So the Lord saued Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem from the hande of Saneherib King of Asshur, and from the hande of all other, and maintained them on euery side.
Otu a ka Onyenwe anyị si zọpụta Hezekaya na ndị Jerusalem, site nʼaka Senakerib eze Asịrịa, na sitekwa nʼaka ndị iro ya ndị ọzọ. Udo dịkwara nʼala ya niile.
23 And many brought offrings vnto the Lord to Ierusalem, and presents to Hezekiah King of Iudah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thencefoorth.
Site nʼoge ahụ, Hezekaya ghọrọ eze a maara aha ya na mba niile dị Juda gburugburu. Ọtụtụ mmadụ bidokwara ibutere Onyenwe anyị onyinye dị iche iche na Jerusalem. Hezekaya nʼonwe ya nwetakwara onyinye nke ya.
24 In those dayes Hezekiah was sicke vnto the death, and prayed vnto the Lord, who spake vnto him, and gaue him a signe.
Ma nʼoge ahụ, Hezekaya rịara ọrịa, ruo na ọ gaara anwụ. Ma o kpere ekpere rịọ Onyenwe anyị ka ọ gwọọ ya. Ọ zara ekpere ya, gosikwa ya ihe ịrịbama dị ebube.
25 But Hezekiah did not render according to the rewarde bestowed vpon him: for his heart was lift vp, and wrath came vpon him, and vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
Ma Hezekaya ejighị obi ya niile kelee Chineke ekele nʼihi na nganga batara ya nʼobi. Nke a mere ka iwe wee Onyenwe anyị megide ya na ndị Jerusalem na Juda.
26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled him selfe (after that his heart was lifted vp) he and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the wrath of the Lord came not vpon them in the dayes of Hezekiah.
Mgbe Hezekaya na ndị Jerusalem wedara onwe ha nʼala, iwe Onyenwe anyị dajụrụ nʼebe ha nọ, ọ takwaghị ha ahụhụ nʼoge niile ahụ Hezekaya dị ndụ.
27 Hezekiah also had exceeding much riches and honour, and he gate him treasures of siluer, and of golde, and of precious stones, and of sweete odours, and of shieldes, and of all pleasant vessels:
Ya mere, Hezekaya ghọrọ eze bara ọgaranya, bụrụkwa onye a na-asọpụrụ. O wuru ụlọakụ maka ichebe ọlaọcha ya na ọlaedo, na nkume dị oke ọnụahịa, na ụda na-esi isi ụtọ, na ọta na efere ọlaedo ya.
28 And of store houses for the increase of wheat and wine and oyle, and stalles for all beasts, and rowes for the stables.
O wukwara ọtụtụ ụlọ ọzọ ebe a na-echebe ọka, na mmanya vaịnị ọhụrụ, na mmanụ oliv. O wukwara ụlọ anụmanụ maka ọtụtụ igwe ewu na atụrụ ya.
29 And he made him cities, and had possession of sheepe and oxen in abundance: for God had giuen him substance exceeding much.
O wukwara ọtụtụ obodo nta dị iche iche, nweekwa ọtụtụ igwe anụ ụlọ, na igwe ehi, nʼihi na Chineke mere ka ọ baa ụba.
30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the vpper water springs of Gihon, and led them streight vnderneath towarde the citie of Dauid Westwarde. so Hezekiah prospered in all his workes.
Hezekaya bụkwa onye gbochiri mmiri iyi Gaihọn nʼakụkụ elu elu ya, gwuo olulu ebe mmiri ahụ si sọgharịa na-asọbata nʼakụkụ ọdịda anyanwụ nke obodo Devid. Ihe niile o mere gaara ya nke ọma.
31 But because of the ambassadours of the princes of Babel, which sent vnto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the lande, God left him to trie him, and to knowe all that was in his heart.
Ma mgbe ndị ozi nke ndị na-achị Babilọn zitere ka ha jụọ ya banyere ihe ebube ahụ nke mere nʼala ahụ, Chineke hapụrụ ya i nwalee ya, ka ọ mara ihe niile dị ya nʼobi.
32 Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and his goodnesse, beholde, they are written in the vision of Ishiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz, in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.
Ma banyere ihe ndị ọzọ niile mere nʼoge ọchịchị Hezekaya, na ọrụ ebere niile nke ọ rụrụ ka edere nʼakwụkwọ ọhụ onye amụma bụ Aịzaya, nwa Emọz, dịkwa nʼakwụkwọ akụkọ ndị eze Juda na Izrel niile.
33 So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the highest sepulchre of the sonnes of Dauid: and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his stead.
Hezekaya sooro ndị nna nna ya dinaa nʼọnwụ, e lie ya nʼugwu nʼebe ili ndị nna nna Devid dị. Ndị Juda niile na ndị niile bi na Jerusalem kwanyere ya ugwu nʼọnwụ ya. Manase nwa ya ghọrọ eze nʼọnọdụ ya.
