¹Now it came to pass in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.

¹ A ciya mo, Israyla bonkoono Hoseya Ela izo mayra jiiri hinzanta ra, kala Yahuda bonkoono Hezeciya Ahaz izo mo te bonkooni.

²Twenty and five years old was he when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Abi, the daughter of Zachariah.

² A gonda jiiri waranka cindi gu waato kaŋ a sintin ka may. A may mo jiiri waranka cindi yagga Urusalima ra. A nyaŋo maa Abi, Zakariya ize way.

³And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to all that David his father did.

³ A na teera hanno te Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, sanda hay kulu kaŋ a kaayo Dawda te cine.

⁴He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brazen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

⁴ A na tudey boŋ sududuyaŋ nangey tuusu, ka cinarey ceeri-ceeri, ka wayboro himandi bundu toorey beeri-beeri. A na guuru-say gondo bagu-bagu, wo kaŋ Musa dan. Zama kala alwaato din Israyla izey ga dugu ton a se, i ga ne a se mo Nehustan, _kaŋ a feerijo ga ti gondo kaŋ i te da guuru-say|_.

⁵He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.

⁵ A de Rabbi Israyla Irikoyo gaa, a banda mo a cine mana te Yahuda bonkooney kulu ra, baa ngey kaŋ yaŋ n'a jin ra.

⁶For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following him, but kept his commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses.

⁶ Zama a naagu Rabbi gaa. A mana fay d'a ganayaŋ mo, amma a n'a lordey haggoy, kaŋ yaŋ Rabbi na Musa lordi nd'a.

⁷And the LORD was with him; and he prospered whithersoever he went forth: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and served him not.

⁷ Rabbi mo go a banda. Naŋ kaŋ a gana kulu, a du albarka. A murte mo Assiriya bonkoono gaa, a mana may a se.

⁸He smote the Philistines, even unto Gaza, and the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.

⁸ A na Filistancey kar ka koy hala Gaza nd'a kawyey, za batukoy gar'ize gaa ka koy hala kwaara kaŋ gonda birni cinari gaa.

⁹And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria, and besieged it.

⁹ A ciya mo, Bonkoono Hezeciya mayra jiiri taacanta ra, kaŋ ga ti Israyla bonkoono Hoseya Ela izo jiiri iyyanta, kala Assiriya bonkoono Salmaneser ziji ka koy Samariya k'a windi nda wongu.

¹⁰And at the end of three years they took it: even in the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is in the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.

¹⁰ Jiiri hinzanta bananta i n'a ŋwa, sanda Hezeciya mayra jiiri iddanta ra, kaŋ ga ti Israyla bonkoono Hoseya mayra jiiri yagganta, i na Samariya ŋwa.

¹¹And the king of Assyria did carry away Israel unto Assyria, and put them in Halah and in Habor by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes:

¹¹ Assiriya mo na Israyla ku ka kond'ey Assiriya k'i gorandi Hala, Habor isa me gaa, Gozan laabu, da Midiyancey kwaarey ra mo.

¹²Because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD their God, but transgressed his covenant, and all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded, and would not hear them, nor do them.

¹² Zama i mana Rabbi ngey Irikoyo sanno gana bo, amma i n'a sappa tunandi, kaŋ ga ti hayey kulu kaŋ Rabbi tamo Musa n'i lordi nd'a. I wangu ka maa a se mo, sanku fa i m'a te.

¹³Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah did Sennacherib king of Assyria come up against all the fenced cities of Judah, and took them.

¹³ Kala bonkoono Hezeciya mayra jiiri way cindi taacanta ra, Assiriya bonkoono Sennakerib ziji ka kaa ka Yahuda gallu kulu kaŋ gonda cinari beeri wongu, a n'i ŋwa mo.

¹⁴And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, I have offended; return from me: that which thou puttest on me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appointed unto Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

¹⁴ Yahuda bonkoono Hezeciya mo donton Assiriya bonkoono do Lacis kwaara ra ka ne: «Ay na taali te. Ni ma tun k'ay naŋ. Haŋ kaŋ ni dake ay boŋ kulu, ay g'a sambu.» Assiriya bonkoono mo dake Yahuda bonkoono Hezeciya boŋ nzarfu ton way cindi hinza nda jare cine, da wura ton fo nda jare cine.

¹⁵And Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house.

¹⁵ Hezeciya mo n'a no nzarfu kulu kaŋ i gar Rabbi windo ra, da bonkoono kwaara jisiyaŋ nango ra.

¹⁶At that time did Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

¹⁶ Alwaato din no Hezeciya na wura kaŋ go Rabbi windo meyey gaa da meyey ganjey gaa dagu, wo kaŋ Yahuda bonkoono Hezeciya n'i daabu nd'a. A n'i no Assiriya bonkoono se.

¹⁷And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they were come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller's field.

¹⁷ Assiriya bonkoono na Tartan, da mantawey jine funa, da Rabsake donton i ma fun Lacis ka koy Bonkoono Hezeciya do Urusalima. I koy mo nda wongu marga bambata. Saaya kaŋ i to noodin, i binde kay bango hari fonda jarga, nga kaŋ go beene kaarukoy fari fonda gaa haray.

¹⁸And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.

¹⁸ Saaya kaŋ i na bonkoono ce, kala Eliyacim Hilciya ize kaŋ ga faada almayaaley dabari, da Sebna kaŋ ga tirey hantum, da Yowa Asaf izo kaŋ ga tirey gaay, i fatta ka koy i do.

¹⁹And Rabshakeh said unto them, Speak ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?

¹⁹ Rabsake ne i se: «Kal araŋ ma ci Hezeciya se sohõ: Mate kaŋ bonkooni beero, Assiriya bonkoono ci neeya: Deyaŋ hari woofo dumi gaa no ni goono ga jeeri?

²⁰Thou sayest, (but they are but vain words,) I have counsel and strength for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

²⁰ Ni goono ga ne (amma woodin kulu ruubu no): iri gonda dabari nda wongu gaabi. May no bora binde kaŋ gaa ni goono ga jeeri, kaŋ se ni murte ay gaa?

²¹Now, behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that trust on him.

²¹ A go, ni goono ga jeeri goobo wo gaa, kaŋ kwaari ceero no, kaŋ ga ti Misira. Baa boro jeeri haya din dumi gaa, kal a ma furo bora kambe ra k'a gooru. Yaadin cine no Misira bonkoono Firawna bara nd'a boro kulu kaŋ ga jeeri a gaa se!

²²But if ye say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?

²² Amma d'araŋ ne ay se araŋ go ga de Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo gaa -- manti nga no Hezeciya n'a sududuyaŋ nangey d'a sargay feemey hibandi? A ne mo Yahuda nda Urusalima se: ‹Feema woone jine no araŋ ga sududu Urusalima ra.›

²³Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my lord the king of Assyria, and I will deliver thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.

²³ Sohõ binde, ay ga ni ŋwaaray, ma caaca nd'ay koyo Assiriya bonkoono. Ay ga ni no bari zambar hinka, hala day nin wo, ni wano do haray ni ga hin ka kaarukoyaŋ dake i boŋ.

²⁴How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

²⁴ Mate binde no ni ga te ka yaarukom folloŋ bare ka ye banda ay koyo bannyey ra, baa i kulu ikayna? Ni goono ga jeeri Misira gaa. To, ni ga du wongu torkoyaŋ da bari-kariyaŋ noodin?

²⁵Am I now come up without the LORD against this place to destroy it? The LORD said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

²⁵ Ay mo sohõ, kaŋ ay kaa ay ma nango wo halaci se, manti Rabbi yaddayaŋ boŋ no? Rabbi no ka ne ay se ay ma koy ka laabo wo wongu k'a halaci.»

²⁶Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.

²⁶ Kala Hilciya izo Eliyacim da Sebna nda Yoha ne Rabsake se: «Iri ga ni ŋwaaray, ma salaŋ iri, ni bannyey se da Suriyance sanni, zama iri ga maa woodin. Ma si salaŋ iri se da Yahudancey sanni borey kaŋ go birni cinaro boŋ hangey ra.»

²⁷But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

²⁷ Amma Rabsake ne i se: «E! Ay koyo n'ay donton nin da ni koyo do no, sanku fa ay ma sanni woone yaŋ ci? Manti alborey kaŋ go ga goro birni cinaro boŋ yaŋ gaa no a n'ay donton, i ma ngey wuri ŋwa, i ma ngey hari-mun haŋ mo araŋ banda?»

²⁸Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and spake, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria:

²⁸ Kala Rabsake kay noodin ka ce da jinde beeri Yahudance sanni ra. A salaŋ i se ka ne: «Wa maa bonkooni beero Assiriya bonkoono sanno.

²⁹Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand:

²⁹ Yaa no bonkoono ci: ‹Wa si ta Hezeciya m'araŋ halli, zama a si hin k'araŋ faaba Assiriya bonkoono kambe ra.

³⁰Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

³⁰ Hezeciya ma si naŋ mo araŋ ma de Rabbi gaa ka ne: Daahir Rabbi g'iri faaba, hala gallo wo ma si furo Assiriya bonkoono kambe ra.›

³¹Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me, and then eat ye every man of his own vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his cistern:

³¹ Wa si hangan Hezeciya se, zama yaa no Assiriya bonkoono ci: ‹Wa amaana te da ay, wa fatta mo ka kaa ay do. Boro kulu ga nga reyzin* nyaŋo nafa ŋwa, boro kulu ga ŋwa nga jeejay* nyaŋo gaa, araŋ boro fo kulu ga haŋ nga bumbo dayo gaa,

³²Until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, that ye may live, and not die: and hearken not unto Hezekiah, when he persuadeth you, saying, The LORD will deliver us.

³² hal a ga to alwaati kaŋ ay ga kaa k'araŋ sambu, ka konda araŋ laabu fo ra kaŋ ga hima araŋ laabu. A gonda ntaaso da reyzin hari, laabu no kaŋ gonda hari nda reyzin kaliyaŋ, zeytun* nya da yu laabu mo no zama araŋ ma funa, araŋ ma si bu se.› Araŋ ma si hangan Hezeciya se pat! waati kaŋ a g'araŋ fafagu ka ne: ‹Rabbi g'iri faaba.›

³³Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at all his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

³³ Ndunnya de-koyey ra gonda afo kaŋ na nga laabo faaba Assiriya bonkoono kambe ra no?

³⁴Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah? have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand?

³⁴ Man Hamatyaŋ da Arpad de-koyey? Man gaa Sefarbayim da Hena nda Abba de-koyey? I na Samariya faaba ay kamba ra no?

³⁵Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of mine hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of mine hand?

³⁵ Laabey kulu de-koyey ra, woofo no ka nga laabo faaba ay kambe ra, hala Rabbi mo ma Urusalima faaba ay kamba ra?»

³⁶But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment was, saying, Answer him not.

³⁶ Amma jama dangay siw! I mana tu a se da baa sann'ize folloŋ, zama bonkoono lordi ka ne i ma si tu a se.

³⁷Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.

³⁷ Waato din gaa Eliyacim Hilciya ize kaŋ ga faada almayaaley dabari, da Sebna kaŋ ga tirey hantum, da Yowa Asaf izo kaŋ ga tirey gaay, i ye ka kaa Hezeciya do nda ngey bankaarayey toorante yaŋ ka Rabsake sanney ci a se.
