1 O o waxyaalahaas iyo aaminnimadaas dabadood waxaa yimid oo dalka Yahuudah soo galay Seenxeeriib oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur; magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaana ayuu weeraray, wuuna ku talo jiray inuu iyaga qaato.

After these acts of faithfulness Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah and besieged the fortified cities, and thought to break into them for himself.

2 X isqiyaahna markuu arkay in Seenxeeriib yimid oo uu ku talo jiro inuu Yeruusaalem la diriro,

Now when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come and that he intended to make war on Jerusalem,

3 a yuu amiirradiisii iyo raggiisii xoogga badnaa kula tashaday in la wada awdo ilaha biyaha ah oo magaalada dibaddeeda ku yaal, oo iyana way caawiyeen.

he decided with his officers and his warriors to cut off the supply of water from the springs which were outside the city, and they helped him.

4 S idaas aawadeed waxaa isu soo ururay dad badan, wayna wada awdeen ilihii biyaha ahaa oo dhan iyo durdurkii waddanka dhex mari jiray, oo waxay isyidhaahdeen, Bal boqorrada dalka Ashuur intay yimaadaan maxay biyo badan u helayaan?

So many people assembled and stopped up all the springs and the stream which flowed through the region, saying, “Why should the kings of Assyria come and find abundant water?”

5 M arkaasuu isdhiirrigeliyey, oo dhisay derbigii dunsanaa oo dhan, oo kor u gaadhsiiyey tan iyo munaaradihii, wuxuuna dhisay derbi kaloo dibadda ah, oo xoogeeyey Millo oo ku dhex tiil magaaladii Daa'uud, oo sameeyey hub dagaal iyo gaashaammo faro badan.

And he took courage and rebuilt all the wall that had been broken down and erected towers on it, and built another outside wall and strengthened the Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in great number.

6 O o taladii dadkana wuu u dhiibay saraakiil dagaalka yaqaan, oo dhammaantoodna wuxuu ku soo wada urursaday meeshii bannaanayd oo magaalada iriddeeda u dhowayd, wuuna dhiirrigeliyey oo ku yidhi,

He appointed military officers over the people and gathered them to him in the square at the city gate, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying,

7 X oog yeesha oo aad u dhiirranaada, ha ka cabsanina, hana ka qalbi jabina boqorka Ashuur ama ciidanka faraha badan oo isaga la socda, maxaa yeelay, waxaa inala jira kuwa ka badan kuwa isaga la jira.

“ Be strong and courageous, do not fear or be dismayed because of the king of Assyria nor because of all the horde that is with him; for the one with us is greater than the one with him.

8 I saga waxaa la jira binu-aadmi, laakiinse innaga waxaa inala jira oo ina caawiya oo dagaalladeenna inoo dirira Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah. Oo dadkiina waxay isku halleeyeen erayadii Xisqiyaah oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah.

With him is only an arm of flesh, but with us is the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles.” And the people relied on the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. Sennacherib Undermines Hezekiah

9 O o waxyaalahaas dabadood ayaa Seenxeeriib oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur joogay Laakiish horteeda oo xooggiisii oo dhammuna wuu la jiray, oo wuxuu addoommadiisii u soo diray Yeruusaalem ilaa Xisqiyaah oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah, iyo ilaa dadkii Yahuudah oo Yeruusaalem joogay oo dhan, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,

After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem while he was besieging Lachish with all his forces with him, against Hezekiah king of Judah and against all Judah who were at Jerusalem, saying,

10 A noo ah Seenxeeriib oo ah boqorkii Ashuur waxaan idinku leeyahay, Qalcadda Yeruusaalem waa idinka ku sii jiree bal yaad isku hallaynaysaan?

“Thus says Sennacherib king of Assyria, ‘On what are you trusting that you are remaining in Jerusalem under siege?

11 W ar sow Xisqiyaah idinma sasabin si aad gaajo iyo harraad ugu dhimataan, isagoo leh, Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah ayaa inaga samatabbixin doona gacanta boqorka Ashuur?

Is not Hezekiah misleading you to give yourselves over to die by hunger and by thirst, saying, “The Lord our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria”?

12 W ar Xisqiyaahaasu sow ma ahaa kii wada baabbi'iyey meelihiisii sarsare iyo meelihiisii allabarigaba, oo dadkii Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemna sow kuma uu amrin oo kuma odhan, Idinku waa inaad meel allabari oo keliya horteeda Ilaah ku caabuddaan, oo isla taas korkeedana waa inaad fooxa ku shiddaan?

Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, “You shall worship before one altar, and on it you shall burn incense”?

13 W ar miyeydaan ka war qabin aniga iyo awowayaashayba wixii aan ku samaynay dadyowga dalalka deggan oo dhan? War quruumaha dalalka deggan ilaahyadoodu miyey sinaba u awoodeen inay dalkooda gacantayda ka samatabbixiyaan?

Do you not know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands able at all to deliver their land from my hand?

14 O o quruumihii awowayaashay ay wada baabbi'iyeen ilaahyadoodii oo dhan kee baa awooday inuu dadkiisii gacantayda ka samatabbixiyo? Haddaba Ilaahiinnu sidee buu u awoodaa inuu gacantayda idinka samatabbixiyo?

Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed who could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you from my hand?

15 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed Xisqiyaah yuusan idin khiyaanayn oo yuusan sidan idiin sasabin, hana rumaysanina, waayo, innaba ma jirin quruun ama boqortooyo ilaaheedu awooday inuu dadkiisa ka samatabbixiyo gacantayda iyo gacantii awowayaashay toona, haddaba ilaahiinna sidee buu gacantayda idiinka samatabbixin doonaa?

Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you or mislead you like this, and do not believe him, for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people from my hand or from the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you from my hand?’”

16 O o addoommadiisiina waxay ku sii hadleen war badan oo ka gees ah Rabbiga Ilaaha ah iyo addoonkiisa Xisqiyaah ahba.

His servants spoke further against the Lord God and against His servant Hezekiah.

17 O o weliba wuxuu kaloo qoray warqado uu ku caayayo oo wax kaga sheegayo Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, oo wuxuu yidhi, Dalalka quruumaha deggan ilaahyadoodii oo dadkoodii gacantayda ka samatabbixin waayay sidoodii oo kalaa Ilaaha Xisqiyaahna dadkiisa gacantayda uga samatabbixin waayi doonaa.

He also wrote letters to insult the Lord God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, “ As the gods of the nations of the lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.”

18 O o iyagoo afkii Yuhuudda ku hadlaya ayay cod weyn ugu dhawaaqeen dadkii reer Yeruusaalem oo derbiga kor joogay inay iyaga cabsiiyaan oo ay wareeriyaan si ay iyagu magaalada u qabsadaan.

They called this out with a loud voice in the language of Judah to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten and terrify them, so that they might take the city.

19 O o waxay Ilaahii Yeruusaalem uga hadleen siday uga hadleen ilaahyadii dadadka dunida, kuwaasoo ah wax dad gacanta ku sameeyey.

They spoke of the God of Jerusalem as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of men’s hands. Hezekiah’s Prayer Is Answered

20 M arkaasaa Boqor Xisqiyaah iyo Nebi Ishacyaah oo ahaa ina Aamoos u tukadeen xaalkan aawadiis, oo waxay qaylo gaadhsiyeen samada.

But King Hezekiah and Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, prayed about this and cried out to heaven.

21 M arkaasaa Rabbigu malag soo diray, kaasoo xeradii boqorkii Ashuur ku wada laayay raggii xoogga badnaa, iyo hoggaamiyayaashii, iyo saraakiishii oo dhanba. Sidaas daraaddeed isagoo ceebaysan ayuu dalkiisii ku noqday. Oo markuu gurigii ilaahiisa galay waxaa halkaas seef kaga dilay wiilashii uu dhalay.

And the Lord sent an angel who destroyed every mighty warrior, commander and officer in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned in shame to his own land. And when he had entered the temple of his god, some of his own children killed him there with the sword.

22 S idaasuu Rabbigu Xisqiyaah iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaaba uga badbaadiyey Seenxeeriib oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur gacantiisii iyo gacantii kuwii kale oo dhanba, oo iyagiina dhinac kasta wuu ka ilaaliyey.

So the Lord saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others, and guided them on every side.

23 O o dad badan ayaa Rabbiga Yeruusaalem ugu keeneen hadiyado, oo Xisqiyaah oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudahna waxay u keeneen waxyaalo qaali ah, sidaas aawadeed markaas intii ka dambaysay ayaa isaga loogu sarraysiiyey quruumaha oo dhan hortooda. Kibirkii, Guushii Iyo Dhimashadii Xisqiyaah

And many were bringing gifts to the Lord at Jerusalem and choice presents to Hezekiah king of Judah, so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations thereafter.

24 O o waagaas ayaa Xisqiyaah bukooday, oo geeri buu u dhowaaday, markaasuu Rabbiga baryay, oo isna intuu la hadlay ayuu calaamad u sameeyey.

In those days Hezekiah became mortally ill; and he prayed to the Lord, and the Lord spoke to him and gave him a sign.

25 L aakiinse Xisqiyaah wanaaggii isaga loo sameeyey mahad kama celin, waayo, qalbigiisa ayaa kibray, sidaas daraaddeed isagii iyo dalka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemba cadho baa ku soo degtay.

But Hezekiah gave no return for the benefit he received, because his heart was proud; therefore wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

26 H abase ahaatee Xisqiyaah wuu is-hoosaysiiyey oo kibirkii qalbigiisa wuu ka soo noqday isaga iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa oo dhammuba, sidaa daraaddeed cadhadii Rabbigu iyaga kuma ay soo degin wakhtigii Xisqiyaah.

However, Hezekiah humbled the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.

27 H addaba Xisqiyaah wuxuu lahaa maal aad iyo aad u faro badan iyo sharaf, oo wuxuu samaystay khasnado lagu xereeyo lacag, iyo dahab, iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah, iyo uunsi, iyo gaashaammo, iyo cayn kasta oo weelal wanaagsan ah.

Now Hezekiah had immense riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields and all kinds of valuable articles,

28 O o guryo wax lagu kaydiyona buu u samaystay wixii badnaa ee ahaa hadhuudh iyo khamri iyo saliid, wuxuuna samaystay xeryo lagu xereeyo xayawaan cayn kasta ah, iyo xeryo adhi.

storehouses also for the produce of grain, wine and oil, pens for all kinds of cattle and sheepfolds for the flocks.

29 O o weliba wuxuu dhistay magaalooyin, oo wuxuu urursaday ido iyo lo' faro badan, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu isaga siiyey maal aad u badan.

He made cities for himself and acquired flocks and herds in abundance, for God had given him very great wealth.

30 O o Xisqiyaahaas qudhiisa ayaa awday biyihii Giixoon ishoodii sare, oo wuxuu hoos ugu soo toosiyey magaaladii Daa'uud dhankeedii galbeed. Oo Xisqiyaahna wuu ku liibaanay shuqulladiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan.

It was Hezekiah who stopped the upper outlet of the waters of Gihon and directed them to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all that he did.

31 H abase ahaatee markay amiirradii dalka Baabuloon isaga cid ugu soo direen inay soo haybiyaan waxa uu yahay yaabka dalkiisa lagu dhex sameeyo ayaa Ilaah isagii uga tegey inuu tijaabiyo oo ogaado waxa qalbigiisa ku jira oo dhan.

Even in the matter of the envoys of the rulers of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone only to test him, that He might know all that was in his heart.

32 H addaba Xisqiyaah falimihiisii kale iyo camalladiisii wanaagsanaa oo dhammu waxay ku qoran yihiin waxyaalihii la tusay Nebi Ishacyaah oo ahaa ina Aamoos, kuwaasoo ku yaal kitaabkii boqorrada dalka Yahuudah iyo dalka Israa'iil.

Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah and his deeds of devotion, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, in the Book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.

33 O o Xisqiyaah wuu dhintay oo la seexday awowayaashiis, oo waxaa isagii lagu aasay meesha laga fuulo qabuurihii farcanka Daa'uud; oo dadkii Yahuudah iyo dadkii Yeruusaalem degganaa oo dhammuba isagii bay sharfeen markuu geeriyooday. Oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Manaseh.

So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper section of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. And his son Manasseh became king in his place.
