1Now it happened in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign.
1Yô rox chihab roquic chokß xreyeb laj Israel laj Oseas li ralal laj Ela nak laj Ezequías li ralal laj Acaz qui-oc chokß xreyeb laj Judá.
2He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.
2b xcaßcßâl chihab cuan re laj Ezequías nak qui-oc saß xcuanquil. Belêb xcaßcßâl chihab quicuan chokß rey aran Jerusalén. Lix naß, aßan lix Abi, lix rabin laj Zacarías.
3He did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, according to all that David his father had done.
3Laj Ezequías quixbânu li us chiru li Dios joß quixbânu laj David lix xeßtônil yucuaß.
4He removed the high places, and broke the pillars, and cut down the Asherah: and he broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for in those days the children of Israel burned incense to it; and he called it Nehushtan.
4Laj Ezequías quixjuqßui li naßajej najt xteram li nequeßxlokßoni cuiß li yîbanbil dios. Quixjori li nînki jalam ûch Asera xcßabaß. Ut quixpuqßui li yîbanbil dios. Ut quixjori ajcuiß li cßantiß yîbanbil riqßuin bronce li quixyîb laj Moisés xban nak eb laj Israel yôqueb chixcßatbal lix incienso chiru. Nehustán quiqßueheß chokß xcßabaß li cßantiß aßan.
5He trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor among them that were before him.
5Laj Ezequías quixcßojob xchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß Dios li nequeßxlokßoni eb laj Israel. Saß xyânkeb chixjunileb li rey li queßcuan Judá mâ jun tîc xchßôl joß laj Ezequías, chi moco li queßcuan xbên cua chi moco li queßcuan mokon.
6For he joined with Yahweh; he didn’t depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses.
6Chi anchal xchßôl quixpâb li Dios ut mâ jun sut quixkßet li râtin. Quixbânu ban chixjunil li quixye saß li chakßrab li quiqßueheß re laj Moisés xban li Kâcuaß.
7Yahweh was with him; wherever he went forth he prospered: and he rebelled against the king of Assyria, and didn’t serve him.
7Li Kâcuaß cuan riqßuin ut quirosobtesi. Ut us qui-el chixjunil li quixbânu. Laj Ezequías incßaß quixqßue rib rubel xcuanquil lix reyeb laj Asiria chi moco quixbânu li cßaßru quixye.
8He struck the Philistines to Gaza and its borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fortified city.
8Ut quinumta saß xbêneb laj filisteo ut quirêchani chixjunil lix naßajeb. Quirêchani li naßajej li naticla cuan cuiß li tenamit Gaza ut nacuulac toj saß lix nubâl li naßajej Judá li cuanqueb cuiß li cab li queßxyîb re xcolbaleb rib joß ajcuiß li cab najt xteram li queßxcßacßale cuiß lix tenamiteb.
9It happened 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.
9Ac yô chic xcuuk chihab roquic chokß xreyeb laj Israel laj Oseas li ralal laj Ela nak quicuulac chi pletic riqßuineb laj Salmanasar lix reyeb laj Asiria. Queßxsut li tenamit Samaria ut queßoc chi pletic riqßuineb. Aßin quicßulman nak yô xcâ chihab roquic chokß rey laj Ezequías aran Judá.
10At the end of three years they took it: in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was taken.
10Oxib chihab quixpleti rix li tenamit Samaria toj retal quirêchani. Yô chic xbele chihab roquic laj Oseas chokß xreyeb laj Israel nak laj Salmanasar quirêchani li tenamit Samaria. Aßin quicßulman nak ac yô chic xcuak chihab roquic laj Ezequías chokß rey aran Judá.
11The king of Assyria carried Israel away to Assyria, and put them in Halah, and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
11Ut eb laj Israel queßchapeß ut queßcßameß Asiria. Cuan li quixcanabeb saß li naßajej Halah ut cuan ajcuiß li quixcanabeb saß li naßajej Habor li cuan nachß riqßuin li nimaß Gozán. Ut cuan ajcuiß li quixcanabeb saß eb li tenamit li cuanqueb Medo.
12because they didn’t obey the voice of Yahweh their God, but transgressed his covenant, even all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded, and would not hear it, nor do it.
12Joßcaßin queßxcßul laj Israel li cuanqueb Samaria xban nak incßaß queßxbânu li quixye li Kâcuaß Dios. Queßxkßet ban li contrato. Incßaß queßxpâb li cßaßru quixye laj Moisés laj cßanjel chiru li Dios, chi moco queßxbânu li cßaßru quixye.
13Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
13Yô câlaju chihab roquic chokß xreyeb laj Judá laj Ezequías nak laj Senaquerib lix reyeb laj Asiria qui-oc chi pletic riqßuineb laj Judá saß eb li tenamit li cuanqueb cuiß li cab li nequeßxcol cuiß ribeb. Laj Senaquerib quirêchaniheb li tenamit aßan saß li plêt.
14Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria to Lachish, saying, “I have offended; return from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” The king of Assyria appointed to Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
14Joßcan nak laj Ezequías lix reyeb laj Judá quixtakla xyebal re lix reyeb laj Asiria li cuan saß li tenamit Laquis: —Incßaß us xinbânu lâin. Chex-êlk saß li katenamit ut lâin tintoj âcue joß nimal tâpatzß, chan. Ut lix reyeb laj Asiria quixye re laj Ezequías nak tixtakla cuib ciento quintal li plata ut jun may quintal li oro.
15Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasures of the king’s house.
15Ut li rey Ezequías quixtakla chixjunil li plata li cuan saß lix templo li Kâcuaß ut quixtakla ajcuiß li cuan saß li rochoch li rey.
16At that time, Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of Yahweh’s temple, and from the pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.
16Ut quirisi ajcuiß li oro li quixletz chiruheb lix puertil lix templo li Kâcuaß joß ajcuiß li oro li quixletz chiru lix marquileb li puertas. Ut li oro aßan quixtakla re lix reyeb laj Asiria.
17The king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to king Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem. They went up and came to Jerusalem. When they had come up, they came and stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the highway of the fuller’s field.
17Lix reyeb laj Asiria quixtaklaheb oxibeb li cuînk nînkeb xcuanquil aran Jerusalén chi pletic riqßuin laj Ezequías. Aßaneb aßin: laj Tartán, laj Rabsaris ut laj Rabsaces. Ut quixtaklaheb ajcuiß jun chßûtal li soldado chirixeb. Nak queßcuulac Jerusalén, queßcana saß li be li nequeßcßanjelac cuiß eb laj puchßunel. Li naßajej aßan cuan chire li rok haß li nanumeß cuiß li haß li nachal saß li pila li cuan toj takecß.
18When they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebnah the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
18Eb li oxib chi cuînk li nînkeb xcuanquil queßxtakla xbokbal li rey Ezequías. Oxib li cuînk li nequeßtenkßan re laj Ezequías queßcôeb chi âtinac riqßuineb. Aßaneb aßin li oxib chi cuînk: laj Eliaquim, li ralal laj Hilcías, li na-iloc re li palacio; laj Sebna laj tzßîb; ut laj Joa, li ralal laj Asaf, li najolomin re li nequeßxococ re li hu.
19Rabshakeh said to them, “Say now to Hezekiah, ‘Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, “What confidence is this in which you trust?
19Laj Rabsaces quixye reheb: —Joßcaßin tâye re li rey Ezequías: “Aßan aßin li naxtakla xyebal âcue lix reyeb laj Asiria li nim xcuanquil: ¿Ani aj iqßuin cßojcßo âchßôl?
20You say (but they are but vain words), ‘There is counsel and strength for war.’ Now on whom do you trust, that you have rebelled against me?
20Mâre nacacßoxla nak riqßuin âtinac naru tâcol âcuib chicuu. ¿Ma aßan tâqßuehok xcacuil âchßôl nak nacacßoxla? ¿Ani aj iqßuin cau âchßôl nak incßaß nacatxucuac chicuu?
21Now, behold, you trust in the staff of this bruised reed, even in Egypt. If a man leans on it, it will go into his hand, and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust on him.
21Lâo nakanau nak lâat cßojcßo âchßôl saß xbêneb laj Egipto. Eb laj Egipto moco cauheb ta rib. Chanchaneb li caxlan ajl. Cui tâchap chokß re âxukß, tixhop lâ cuukß. Li ani tixcßojob xchßôl saß xbên laj faraón, lix reyeb laj Egipto, ra tixcßul.
22But if you tell me, ‘We trust in Yahweh our God;’ isn’t that he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and has said to Judah and to Jerusalem, ‘You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?’
22Mâre lâex têye cue nak cßojcßo êchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß lê Dios. ¿Ma incßaß ta biß isinbil saß êyânk chixjunileb li artal xban li rey Ezequías? ¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß aßan quiyehoc reheb laj Judá ut laj Jerusalén nak chiru jun ajcuiß li artal teßlokßonînk aran Jerusalén?
23Now therefore, please give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.
23Joßcan nak lâin nintzßâma chêru nak takacßûb ru junak li naßleb. Lâin tinqßue êre cuib mil li cacuây ut lâex têril ma têtau li ani têtaklaheb chirixeb.
24How then can you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
24Lâat incßaß tâcuy pletic riqßuin jun reheb lin soldado usta aßan incßaß cau rib. ¿Ma nequecßoxla nak laj faraón tixqßue êcarruaje ut tixqßueheb li soldado li teßxic chirix cacuây?
25Have I now come up without Yahweh against this place to destroy it? Yahweh said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and destroy it.’”’”
25¿Ma mâcuaß ta biß li Kâcuaß xtaklan chak cue saß li naßajej aßin chi pletic? ¿Ma xinchal ta biß chixsachbal ru yal injunes?” chan.
26Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Joah, said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it. Don’t speak with us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”
26Tojoßnak laj Eliaquim li ralal laj Hilcías ut laj Sebna ut laj Joa queßxye re laj Rabsaces: —Nakatzßâma châcuu nak toâcuâtina saß li âtinobâl arameo xban nak lâo nakatau ru li âtin aßan. Moâcuâtina saß li râtinobâleb laj Judá xban nak chixjunileb li tenamit li cuanqueb saß xbên li tzßac yôqueb chirabinquil li yôcat chixyebal, chan.
27But Rabshakeh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master, and to you, to speak these words? Hasn’t he sent me to the men who sit on the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?”
27Abanan laj Rabsaces quixye reheb: —Lâin incßaß xintaklâc chak chi âtinac caßaj cuiß riqßuin lê rey, chi moco caßaj cuiß êriqßuin lâex. Xintaklâc ban chi âtinac riqßuineb li cuanqueb saß xbên li tzßac. Tâcuulak xkßehil nak eb aßan joß ajcuiß lâex têlou êcßot ut têrucß lê chuß, chan.
28Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and spoke, saying, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria.
28Ut chirix aßan, quixakli ut quixjap re chixyebal saß li râtinobâleb laj Judá: —Abihomak chêjunilex li cßaßru naxye êre lix reyeb laj Asiria, li nim xcuanquil.
29Thus says the king, ‘Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you out of his hand.
29Joßcaßin xtakla chak xyebal êre li rey li nim xcuanquil: Mêqßue êrib chixbalakßi laj Ezequías. Aßan incßaß târûk texcol saß cuukß lâin.
30Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Yahweh, saying, “Yahweh will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
30Mâre laj Ezequías tixye êre, “Cßojobomak êchßôl riqßuin li Kâcuaß. Relic chi yâl li Kâcuaß tâcolok ke. Aßan incßaß toxkßaxtesi saß rukß lix reyeb laj Asiria” chaßak êre. Mêpâb li cßaßru tixye êre nak texkßunbesi.
31Don’t listen to Hezekiah.’ For thus says the king of Assyria, ‘Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone of you eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern;
31Mêpâb li râtin laj Ezequías. Aßan aßin li naxye êre lix reyeb laj Asiria, “Cßamomak êrib saß usilal cuiqßuin. Cui têcßam êrib saß usilal cuiqßuin, chi jûnkal têtzaca li ru lê uvas ut têtzaca li ru lê higo ut naru ajcuiß têrucß li haß li na-el saß lê jul haß,
32until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and of honey, that you may live, and not die. Don’t listen to Hezekiah, when he persuades you, saying, “Yahweh will deliver us.”

33Has any of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

34Where are the gods of Hamath, and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
34¿Bar cuan lix dioseb li tenamit Hamat ut Arfad? ¿Bar cuan lix dioseb li tenamit Sefarvaim ut Hena ut Iva? ¿Ma queßxcol ta biß li tenamit Samaria saß cuukß lâin?
35Who are they among all the gods of the countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Yahweh should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?’”

36But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, “Don’t answer him.”
36Eb laj Judá mâ jun âtin queßxye xban nak li rey quixye reheb nak incßaß teßsumênk.Ut laj Eliaquim, li ralal laj Hilcías, li na-iloc re li palacio ut laj Sebna laj tzßîb joß ajcuiß laj Joa li ralal laj Asaf, li najolomin reheb li nequeßxococ re li hu, queßxpej li rakßeb ut queßcôeb riqßuin laj Ezequías ut queßxye re chixjunil li quixye laj Rabsaces.
37Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, came with Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
37Ut laj Eliaquim, li ralal laj Hilcías, li na-iloc re li palacio ut laj Sebna laj tzßîb joß ajcuiß laj Joa li ralal laj Asaf, li najolomin reheb li nequeßxococ re li hu, queßxpej li rakßeb ut queßcôeb riqßuin laj Ezequías ut queßxye re chixjunil li quixye laj Rabsaces.
