2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things done in faithfulness, came Sennacherib king of Assyria, —and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to break into them for himself.
Le nu siwo Hezekia wɔ anukwaretɔe vɔ megbe la, Asiria fia, Senakerib ho va dze Yuda dzi. Eɖe to ɖe du siwo woglã kple susu be, yeaxɔ wo na ye ɖokui.
2 And, when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, —and that, his face, was—to war, against Jerusalem,
Esi eme kɔ ƒãa be Fia Senakerib ɖo ta me be yeaho aʋa ɖe Yerusalem ŋu la,
3 he took counsel with his captains and his heroes, to stop the waters of the fountains, which were outside the city, —and they helped him.
Hezekia wɔ takpekpe kple eƒe fiaviŋutsuwo kple eƒe aɖaŋudelawo. Woɖo be yewoaxe vudo siwo le dua godo.
4 And there were gathered together much people, so they stopped all the fountains, and the torrent that flowed through the midst of the land, saying, —Wherefore should the kings of Assyria come, and find many waters?
Wodi dɔwɔla geɖewo woxe vudoawo katã kple tɔsisi si si to agblewo me. Wobia be, “Nu ka ta Asiria fia ava eye wòakpɔ tsi ano?”
5 And he took courage, and built all the wall that was broken down and carried up thereon towers, and, on the outside, another wall, and strengthened Millo, the city of David, -and made weapons in abundance, and bucklers,
Emegbe la, Hezekia gbugbɔ teƒe siwo duawo ƒe gliwo gbã le la tu hegaglã teƒe bubuwo eye wògaɖo gli bubu ɖe gbãtɔ godo. Egbugbɔ Milo mɔ la glã le David ƒe Du la me eye wòwɔ aʋawɔnu kple akpoxɔnu geɖewo.
6 and set captains of war over the people, —and gathered them together unto him in the broadway of the gate of the city, and spake unto their heart, saying, —
Eƒo aʋakɔ aɖe nu ƒu eye wòɖo asrafomegãwo ɖe wo nu, heɖo wo ɖe gbadzaƒe si le dua ŋgɔ. Eƒo nu, de dzi ƒo na wo kple nya siawo be,
7 Be strong and bold, do not fear neither be dismayed, because of the king of Assyria, nor because of all the multitude that is with him, —for, with us, is One greater than with him:
“Misẽ ŋu, miawɔ kalẽ eye migavɔ̃ Asiria fia la alo eƒe aʋakɔ gã la o elabena ame aɖe le mía dzi si kpɔ ŋusẽ wui sãa!
8 with him, is an arm of flesh, but, with us, is Yahweh our God, to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people leaned upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
Aʋakɔ gã aɖe le esi, eƒe aʋawɔlawo katã nye amegbetɔwo ko, ke míawo ya la, Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, le mía dzi eye wòawɔ míaƒe aʋa na mí.”
9 After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants towards Jerusalem, himself, being near Lachish, and all his imperial might with him, —unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that was in Jerusalem, saying:
Le nu siawo megbe la Asiria fia Senakerib kple aʋakɔwo ɖe to ɖe Lakis du la, eye wòdɔ amewo ɖa be woagblɔ na Yuda fia Hezekia kple Yudatɔ siwo katã le afi ma be,
10 Thus, saith Sennacherib, king of Assyria, -Upon what, are, ye, trusting, that ye are awaiting the siege in Jerusalem?
“Asiria fia Senakerib le biabiam be: Nu ka ŋu miele dzi ɖom ɖo be yewoate ŋu atsi agbe esi meɖe to ɖe Yerusalem dua?
11 Is not, Hezekiah, persuading you, so as to deliver you up to die with hunger and with thirst, saying, —Yahweh our God, will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
Fia Hezekia le mia flum be, miawu mia ɖokuiwo le afi ma, dɔ kple tsikɔ awu mi miaku, le esime wòle ŋugbe dom na mi be, ‘Yehowa, mía Mawu la aɖe mí tso Asiria fia sime!’
12 Is it not, the same Hezekiah, who hath removed his high places, and his altars, —and hath given word to Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Before one altar, shall ye bow yourselves down, and, thereupon, shall ye burn incense?
Ɖe mienya be Fia Hezekia tututue nye ame si ɖe eƒe nuxeƒewo kple vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖa hegblɔ na Yuda kple Yerusalem be, ‘Mide ta agu ɖe vɔsamlekpui ɖeka ma si le gbedoxɔ la me ŋu eye miado dzudzɔ le eya ɖeɖe ko dzi’ oa?
13 Will ye not take note, what I have done, I and my fathers, to all the peoples of the countries? Have the gods of the nations of the countries been, at all able, to deliver their country, out of my hand?
“Ɖe mienya nu si mía kple fofonyewo míewɔ anyigbadzidukɔwo katã oa? Dukɔ mawo ƒe mawuwo mete ŋu wɔ naneke heɖe woƒe anyigbawo o.
14 Who, among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers devoted to destruction, hath ever been able to deliver his people out of my hand, —that your god should be able to deliver you out of my hand?
Dukɔ siawo ƒe mawuwo dometɔ kae te ŋu ɖe eƒe dukɔ tso nye asi me? Nu kae na miebu be miaƒe Mawu ya ate ŋu aɖe mi?
15 Now, therefore, do not let Hezekiah beguile you nor persuade you thus, neither do ye believe him. For no, god, of any nation or kingdom hath ever been able to deliver his people out of my hand, or out of the hand of my fathers, -how much less shall, your gods, deliver you, out of my hand?
Migana Hezekia nana miazu abunɛtɔwo o! Migaxɔ edzi se o! Megale egblɔm be, dukɔ aɖeke ƒe mawu mete ŋu ɖe eƒe amewo tso nye asi me loo alo tso tɔgbuinyewo ƒe asi me kpɔ o. Aleke miaƒe mawu ya ate ŋui?”
16 And, yet more, spake his servants, against Yahweh, God, —and against Hezekiah his servant.
Ale ame dɔdɔ la ɖe alɔme le Yehowa Mawu kple Mawu ƒe dɔla Hezekia ŋu eye wòdzu wo.
17 Letters, also wrote he, to scoff at Yahweh God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, Like the gods of the nations of the countries, who delivered not their people out of my hand, so, shall the god of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.
Fia Senakerib ŋlɔ agbalẽ hã eye wòdo vlo Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la. Eŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ la me be, “Dukɔ bubuwo katã ƒe mawuwo mete ŋu ɖe woƒe amewo tso nye asi me o, eye Hezekia ƒe Mawu hã mate ŋui o.”
18 Then cried they out, with a loud voice, in the Jews’ language, unto the people of Jerusalem who were upon the wall, to affright them, and to terrify them, —to the end they might capture the city.
Dɔla siwo tsɔ agbalẽa vɛ la do ɣli gblɔ ŋɔdzidonamenyawo le Yuda gbe me na ame siwo ƒo ƒu ɖe dua ƒe gliwo dzi eye wodi be yewoado vɔvɔ̃ na wo, ana dzi naɖe le wo ƒo.
19 And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, —as against the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of the hands of men.
Dɔla siawo ƒo nu tso Yerusalem ƒe Mawu la ŋu abe ɖe wòle abe trɔ̃subɔlawo ƒe mawu, siwo nye legba siwo amegbetɔ wɔ la dometɔ ɖeka ene!
20 And Hezekiah the king and Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, prayed concerning this, -and made outcry unto the heavens,
Ale Fia Hezekia kple Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi, do ɣli, ɖe kuku na Mawu le dziƒo
21 So Yahweh sent a messenger, who cut off every hero of valour, and chief ruler and captain, in the camp of the king of Assyria, —and he returned with shame of face to his own land, and, when he entered the house of his god, then, the issue of his own body—there, caused him to fall by the sword.
eye Yehowa ɖo dɔla aɖe ɖa wòva tsrɔ̃ Asiria fia ƒe aʋakɔ la kple eƒe asrafomegãwo kple aʋafiawo katã eye Fia Senakerib trɔ yi aƒe kple ŋukpe gã aɖe. Esi wòva ɖo eƒe mawu ƒe gbedoxɔ me la, eya ŋutɔ via ŋutsuwo va dzae kple yi ɖe afi ma.
22 Thus did Yahweh save Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem out of the hand of Sennacherib king of Assyria, and out of the hand of every one, —and gave them rest on every side.
Ale Yehowa ɖe Fia Hezekia kple Yerusalemtɔwo eye azɔ la, ŋutifafa nɔ fiaɖuƒe blibo la me.
23 And, many, were bringing in a present unto Yahweh, to Jerusalem, and precious things, unto Hezekiah king of Judah, —so that he was exalted in the eyes of all the nations, from thenceforth.
Tso ɣe ma ɣi dzi la, dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wo la, bua Hezekia vevie eye nunana geɖewo na Yehowa kple nunana tɔxɛwo na Hezekia hã va ɖo Yerusalem.
24 In those days, was Hezekiah sick unto death, —and, when he prayed unto Yahweh, he was entreated of him and, a wonderful token, he gave him.
Le ŋkeke mawo me la, Hezekia dze dɔ vevie eye wòɖo kudo nu. Edo gbe ɖa na Yehowa, ame si ɖo gbedodoɖa la ŋu nɛ hena nukudzesi aɖee.
25 But, not according to the benefit done unto him, did Hezekiah make return, for uplifted was his heart, —and so there came upon him, wrath, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.
Ke dada nɔ Hezekia ƒe dzi me eye metsɔ ɖeke le dɔmenyo si Yehowa wɔ nɛ la me o eya ta Yehowa ƒe dziku nɔ eya amea, Yuda kple Yerusalem dzi.
26 Then Hezekiah humbled himself, for the uplifting of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, —so that the wrath of Yahweh came not upon them, in the days of Hezekiah.
Tete dada si nɔ Hezekia ƒe dzi me la vee eye wòtrɔ dzi me. Yerusalem nɔlawo hã wɔ nenema ke, eya ta Yehowa ƒe dziku la mebi ɖe wo ŋu le Hezekia ƒe ŋkekewo me o.
27 And it came to pass that, Hezekiah, had riches and honour in great abundance, —and, treasuries, made he for himself—for silver and for gold and for costly stones, and for spices and for precious things, and for all utensils to be coveted;
Ale Hezekia zu kesinɔtɔ kple bubume gã aɖe, etu nudzraɖoƒewo na eƒe klosalo, sika kple kpe xɔasiwo, atike ʋeʋĩwo, akpoxɔnuwo kple sikatrewo.
28 storehouses also, for the increase of corn, and new wine and oil, —and cribs for every kind of beast, and cribs for the flocks;
Etu avawo be yeadzra bli, wain yeye kple ami ɖo ɖe wo me eye wògatu lãkpowo hã.
29 and, cities, made he for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds, in abundance, —for God had given him exceeding great wealth.
Etso kɔƒewo eye lãha gãwo sɔ gbɔ ɖe esi elabena Mawu na kesinɔnu geɖe ŋutɔ woe.
30 And, the same Hezekiah, stopped up the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down the west side of the city of David, —and Hezekiah prospered in all his work.
Exe Gihon tɔsisi la ƒe Dzigbetɔʋu la ƒe nugbɔ eye wòɖe tɔʋu aɖe na tsi la be wòatsa ayi David ƒe Du la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo le Yerusalem.
31 Yet verily, with regard to the ambassadors of the rulers of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire concerning the wonderful token which came to pass in the land, God left him, —to prove him, to take note of all that was in his heart.
Ke esi ame dɔdɔwo tso Babilonia va be, yewoabia nu tso ale si wòhaya nukutɔe ŋu la, Mawu gbugbɔ le eyome sẽe be yeadoe akpɔ eye yeanya ame si tɔgbi tututu wònye.
32 But, the rest of the story of Hezekiah, and his lovingkindnesses, there they are, written in the visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, the prophet, in the book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
Woŋlɔ Hezekia ŋutinya mamlɛa kple dɔ nyui siwo katã wòwɔ la ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi ƒe agbalẽ kple Yuda fiawo kple Israel fiawo ƒe Ŋutinyagbalẽ me.
33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the sepulchres of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him, honour, in his death, —and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.
Esi Hezekia ku la, woɖii ɖe fia David ƒe dzidzimeviwo wo ƒe yɔdowo gbɔ le togbɛ la ŋu. Yuda kple Yerusalem blibo la de bubu eŋu le eƒe ku me. Via ŋutsu Manase zu fia ɖe eteƒe.
