¹And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.

¹[Ny amin'ny namonjena an'i Jerosalema, sy ny nandringanana ny miaramilan'i Sankeriba, mbamin'ny nahafatesan'ny tenany] Ary raha nandre izany Hezekia mpanjaka, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy sady nitafy lamba fisaonana ka lasa niditra tao an-tranon'i Jehovah,

²And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.

²Ary 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.

³And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

³Ary 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.

⁴It may be Jehovah thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God; and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.

⁴Angamba 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.

⁵And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

⁵Dia nankany amin'Isaia ny mpanompon'i Hezekia mpanjaka.

⁶And Isaiah said to 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.

⁶Ary 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.

⁷Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will make him to fall by the sword in his own land.

⁷Fa, 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.

⁸And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

⁸Dia niverina Rabsake ka nankany Libna, izay nataon'ny mpanjakan'i Asyria fahirano tamin'izay, satria efa reny fa efa niala tany Lakisy ny mpanjaka.

⁹And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he has come forth to make war with thee. And he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, saying,

⁹Ary 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:

¹⁰Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.

¹⁰Izao 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.

¹¹Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?

¹¹Indro, ianao efa nandre izay nataon'ireo mpanjakan'i Asyria tamin'ny tany rehetra, dia ny nandravany azy; ka ianao kosa va no ho voavonjy? [Heb. nanaovany herema]

¹²Have the gods of the nations which my fathers have destroyed delivered them: Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?

¹²Moa nahavonjy azy va ireo andriamanitry ny firenena noravan'ny razako, dia Gozana sy Harana sy Razefa ary ny taranak'i Edena, izay tao Telasara?

¹³Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?

¹³Aiza ny mpanjakan'i Hamata sy ny mpanjakan'i Arpada ary ny mpanjakan'ny tanàna Sefarvaima sy Hena ary Iva?

¹⁴And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.

¹⁴Dia 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.

¹⁵And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah and said, Jehovah, God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.

¹⁵Ary 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.

¹⁶Incline thine ear, Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent him to reproach the living God.

¹⁶Atongilano 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.

¹⁷Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,

¹⁷Jehovah ô, marina ihany tokoa fa ireo mpanjakan'i Asyria dia efa nandrava ny jentilisa sy ny taniny

¹⁸and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore have they destroyed them.

¹⁸ary 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.

¹⁹And now, Jehovah our God, I beseech thee, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou, Jehovah, art God, thou only.

¹⁹Koa 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.

²⁰And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel: That which thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria I have heard.

²⁰Ary 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.

²¹This is the word that Jehovah has spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.

²¹Koa 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.

²²Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy one of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.

²²Fa 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.

²³By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots have I come up To the height of the mountain, to the recesses of Lebanon, And I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; And I will enter into its furthest lodging-place, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.

²³Ny 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.

²⁴I have digged, and have drunk strange waters, And with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.

²⁴Izaho no nihady ka nisotro rano vao niseho, ary ny faladiako no handritako ny ony mbamin'ny lahin-drano rehetra any Egypta. [Na: ranon'ny firenena hafa][Heb. Mazora]

²⁵Hast thou not heard long ago that I have done it? And that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.

²⁵Tsy 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.

²⁶And their inhabitants were powerless, They were dismayed and put to shame; They were [as] the growing grass, and [as] the green herb, [As] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.

²⁶Ary 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.

²⁷But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy raging against me.

²⁷Fa samy fantatro avokoa ny ipetrahanao sy ny ivoahanao sy ny idiranao ary ny fahatezeranao amiko.

²⁸Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, And I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.

²⁸Satria 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.

²⁹And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: They shall eat this year such as groweth of itself, And in the second year that which springeth of the same; But in the third year sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.

²⁹Ary 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.

³⁰And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;

³⁰Ary izay sisa amin'ny taranak'i Joda dia mbola hamaka lalindalina kokoa sady hisondrotra hamoa.

³¹For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And out of mount Zion they that escape: The zeal of Jehovah [of hosts] shall do this.

³¹Fa 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.

³²Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow there, Nor come before it with shield, Nor cast a bank against it.

³²Koa 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.

³³By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, And shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.

³³Ny lalana izay nihaviany ihany no hiverenany, fa tsy ho tafiditra amin'ity tanàna ity izy, hoy Jehovah.

³⁴And I will defend this city, to save it, For mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

³⁴Fa hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho ka hamonjy azy noho ny amin'ny tenako sy Davida mpanompoko.

³⁵And it came to pass that night, that an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.

³⁵Ary 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.

³⁶And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.

³⁶Dia niainga Sankeriba, mpanjakan'i Asyria, ka lasa nody ary nitoetra tany Ninive.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.

³⁷And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer [his sons] smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.

³⁷Ary 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.
