2 Mpanjaka 19
1 Ary raha nandre izany Hezekia mpanjaka, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy sady nitafy lamba fisaonana ka lasa niditra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah,
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 Ary izy naniraka an’ i Eliatima, lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona samy nitafy lamba fisaonana hankany amin’ Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 Ary hoy ireo taminy: Izao no lazain’ i Hezekia: Andro fahoriana sy famaizana ary fanalam-baraka ity andro ity; fa mby ao am-piterahana ny zaza, nefa tsy misy hery hiterahana azy.
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Angamba ho ren’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny teny rehetra nataon-dRabsake, izay nirahin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria tompony hihaika an’ Andriamanitra velona, ka mba hovaliany izy noho ny teniny izay efa ren’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; koa aingao ny vavakao hamonjy izay mbola sisa.
It may be Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 Dia nankany amin’ Isaia ny mpanompon’ i Hezekia mpanjaka.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Ary hoy Isaia taminy: Ambarao amin’ ny tomponareo hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza matahotra ny teny efa renao, dia izay nanompan’ iretsy ankizilahin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria iretsy Ahy.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Fa, indro, Izaho efa hanisy fanahy ao anatiny, ary hahare siosio izy ka hiverina ho any amin’ ny taniny, dia hataoko lavon-tsabatra any an-taniny izy.
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Dia niverina Rabsake ka nankany Libna, izay nataon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria fahirano tamin’ izay, satria efa reny fa efa niala tany Lakisy ny mpanjaka.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 Ary nony ren’ i Sankeriba ny amin’ i Tiraka, mpanjakan’ i Etiopia, nanao hoe: Indro, avy hiady aminao izy, dia naniraka olona indray ho any amin’ i Hezekia izy nanao hoe:
And when he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee, he sent messengers again unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda: Aza mety hofitahin’ ny Andriamanitrao Izay itokianao ianao hoe: Jerosalema tsy hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Indro, ianao efa nandre izay nataon’ ireo mpanjakan’ i Asyria tamin’ ny tany rehetra, dia ny nandravany azy; ka ianao kosa va no ho voavonjy?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Moa nahavonjy azy va ireo andriamanitry ny firenena noravan’ ny razako, dia Gozana sy Harana sy Razefa ary ny taranak’ i Edena, izay tao Telasara?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?
13 Aiza ny mpanjakan’ i Hamata sy ny mpanjakan’ i Arpada ary ny mpanjakan’ ny tanàna Sefarvaima sy Hena ary Iva?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
14 Dia noraisin’ i Hezekia tamin’ ny tanan’ ny iraka ny taratasy ka novakiny, dia niakatra nankao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy ka namelatra iny teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 Ary Hezekia nivavaka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah nanao hoe: Ry Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ô, Izay mipetraka amin’ ny kerobima, Hianao dia Hianao irery ihany no Andriamanitry ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany, fa Hianao no nanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, and said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, that sittest [above] the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
16 Atongilano ny sofinao, Jehovah ô, ka mihainoa; ahirato ny masonao, Jehovah ô, ka mijere, ary mandrenesa ny tenin’ i Sankeriba, izay nampitondrainy hihaika an’ Andriamanitra velona.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to defy the living God.
17 Jehovah ô, marina ihany tokoa fa ireo mpanjakan’ i Asyria dia efa nandrava ny jentilisa sy ny taniny
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
18 ary efa nanary ny andriamaniny tao anaty afo, satria tsy Andriamanitra ireny, fa asan’ ny tànan’ olona ihany, dia hazo sy vato; ka dia azony nosimbana.
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
19 Koa ankehitriny, Jehovah Andriamanitray ô, mitaraina aminao aho, vonjeo izahay amin’ ny tànany, mba hahafantaran’ ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany fa Hianao dia Hianao irery ihany, Jehovah ô, no Andriamanitra.
Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou Jehovah art God alone.
20 Ary Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, dia naniraka hankany amin’ i Hezekia, nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ilay fitarainana nataonao tamiko ny amin’ i Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, dia efa nohenoiko.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard [thee].
21 Koa izao no teny nolazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Sankeriba: Manao tsinontsinona sy mandatsalatsa anao Ziona, zanakavavy virijina: Mihifikifi-doha mahita anao mandositra Jerosalema zanakavavy.
This is the word that Jehovah hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
22 Fa iza no nohaikainao sy nompanao? Ary hanohitra an’ iza no nanandratanao ny feonao sy nampiandrandranao ny masonao any ambony hanohitra ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
Whom hast thou defied and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Israel.
23 Ny irakao no nihaikanao ny Tompo hoe: Tamin’ ny kalesiko maro no niakarako tany an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra, tao afovoan’ i Libanona, ary hokapaiko ny sedera avo sy ny kypreso voafantina; dia hiditra any amin’ ny faran’ ny azo iakarana ao aho sy any amin’ ny alany midokadoka.
By thy messengers thou hast defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into his farthest lodging-place, the forest of his fruitful field.
24 Izaho no nihady ka nisotro rano vao niseho, ary ny faladiako no handritako ny ony mbamin’ ny lahin-drano rehetra any Egypta.
I have digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
25 Tsy mbola renao va, hoy Jehovah, fa hatry ny fony ela no nanomanako izany, ary hatramin’ ny andro taloha no nikasako izany? ankehitriny dia efa nahatanteraka izany Aho, ka dia nandrava tanàna mimanda ho tonga korontam-bato ianao.
Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that it should be thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
26 Ary efa tsy nahatohitra ny mponina any, sady raiki-tahotra no mangaihay izy; efa tahaka ny ahitra any an-tsaha izy ary tahaka ny ahi-maitso sy ny ahitra eo amin’ ny tampon-trano, ary tahaka ny vary maty raha vao mitsiry.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blasted before it is grown up.
27 Fa samy fantatro avokoa ny ipetrahanao sy ny ivoahanao sy ny idiranao ary ny fahatezeranao amiko.
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
28 Satria efa tezitra amiko ianao, ary efa tonga ato an-tsofiko ny fireharehanao, dia hasiako ny masom-biko ny oronao, ary hasiako ny lamboridiko ny vavanao, ary hampivereniko amin’ ny lalana izay nihavianao ianao.
Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
29 Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao kosa: Hihinana ny maniry ho azy avy tamin’ ny voa mihintsana ianareo iray taona, ary amin’ ny taona manaraka dia ny kolokolon’ izany, fa amin’ ny taona fahatelo kosa dia mamafaza ianareo, ka mijinjà, ary manaova tanim-boaloboka, ka mihinàna izay vokatra eo.
And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
30 Ary izay sisa amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia mbola hamaka lalindalina kokoa sady hisondrotra hamoa.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
31 Fa hisy sisa hiseho avy any Jerosalema sy sisa afaka avy any an-tendrombohitra Ziona; ny fahasaro-piaron’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hanao izany.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape: the zeal of Jehovah shall perform this.
32 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Tsy ho tafiditra amin’ ity tanàna ity izy, na handefa zana-tsipìka ho ato, na hitondra ampinga eo anoloany, na hanandratra tovon-tany hamelezany ity.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
33 Ny lalana izay nihaviany ihany no hiverenany, fa tsy ho tafiditra amin’ ity tanàna ity izy, hoy Jehovah.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith Jehovah.
34 Fa hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho ka hamonjy azy noho ny amin’ ny tenako sy Davida mpanompoko.
For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
35 Ary tamin’ ny alin’ io dia avy ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah ka namely olona dimy arivo amby valo alina sy iray hetsy tao an-tobin’ ny Asyriana; ary nony maraina koa vao nifoha olona, dia hita fa, indreo, efa maty avokoa ireo.
And it came to pass that night, that the angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
36 Dia niainga Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka lasa nody ary nitoetra tany Ninive.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
37 Ary raha niankohoka tao an-tranon’ i Nisroka andriamaniny izy, dia nasian’ i Adrameleka sy Sarezera zananilahy ny sabatra izy; ary dia afaka nandositra nankany amin’ ny tany Ararata izy mirahalahy. Ary Esara-hadona zananilahy no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
