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,

¹And it cometh to pass, at king Hezekiah`s hearing, that he rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth, and entereth the house of Jehovah,

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.

²and sendeth Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz,

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.

³and they say unto him, `Thus said Hezekiah — A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising [is] this day; for come have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bring forth.

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.

⁴`It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.`

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

⁵And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah,

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.

⁶and Isaiah saith to them, `Thus do ye say unto your lord: Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.

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.

⁷Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a report, and hath turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.`

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.

⁸And the chief of the butlers turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath journeyed from Lachish.

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:

⁹And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, `Lo, he hath come out to fight with thee;` and he turneth and sendeth messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,

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.

¹⁰`Thus do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.

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]

¹¹Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands — to devote them; and thou art delivered!

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?

¹²did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed — Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Thelassar?

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

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

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.

¹⁴And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and readeth them, and goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah.

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.

¹⁵And Hezekiah prayeth before Jehovah, and saith, `O Jehovah, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou [art] God Himself — Thyself alone — to all the kingdoms of the earth: Thou hast made the heavens and the earth.

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.

¹⁶Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes, and see; and hear Thou the words of Sennacherib with which he hath sent him to reproach the living God.

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

¹⁷`Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste the nations, and their land,

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.

¹⁸and have put their gods into fire, for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them.

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.

¹⁹And now, O Jehovah our God, save us, we pray Thee, out of his hand, and know do all kingdoms of the earth that Thou [art] Jehovah God — Thyself alone.`

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.

²⁰And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying, `Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard:

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.

²¹this [is] the word that Jehovah spake concerning him: `Trampled on thee — laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion Behind thee shaken the head — Hath the daughter of Jerusalem?

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.

²²Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes — Against the Holy One of Israel!

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.

²³By the hand of thy messengers Thou hast reproached the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains — The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.

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]

²⁴I have digged, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.

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.

²⁵Hast thou not heard from afar, it I made, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becometh a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fenced cities,

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.

²⁶And their inhabitants [are] feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up, They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn — before it hath risen up!

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

²⁷And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thine anger towards Me;

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.

²⁸Because of thine anger towards Me, And thy noise — it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And have caused thee to turn back, In the way in which thou camest.

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.

²⁹And this to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is] the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year sow ye, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.

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

³⁰And it hath continued — The escaped of the house of Judah That hath been left — to take root beneath, And hath made fruit upward.

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.

³¹For from Jerusalem goeth out a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion; The zeal of Jehovah [of Hosts] doth this.

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.

³²Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it with shield. Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.

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

³³In the way that he cometh in — In it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, The affirmation of Jehovah —

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

³⁴And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.`

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.

³⁵And it cometh to pass, in that night, that a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred eighty and five thousand, and they rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are] dead corpses.

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.

³⁶And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeyeth, and goeth, and turneth back, and dwelleth in Nineveh;

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.

³⁷and it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adramelech and Sharezar [his sons] have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
