Isaiah 36
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
1In yac aksingoul akosr ke Hezekiah el tokosra lun Judah, Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el mweuni siti nukewa lun Judah ma potiyukyak, ac eisla.
2And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fullers' field.
2Na el sap sie mwet kol fulat lal in som liki Lachish nu Jerusalem ac us sie un mwet mweun lulap, in sap Tokosra Hezekiah elan srasrapo ac tia mweun. Mwet leum se inge el som muta ke inkanek yen mwet orek nuknuk muta we, sisken laf ma use kof liki lulu se ma oan tafunyen lucng.
3Then came forth unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
3Mwet Judah tolu tufokme in sonol — elos pa Eliakim wen natul Hilkiah, su mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim ke inkul sin tokosra; ac Joah wen natul Asaph, su liyaung ma simusla.
4And Rab-shakeh said unto them: 'Say ye now to Hezekiah: Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
4Na mwet kol fulat lun mwet Assyria el fahk nu seltal lah Tokosra Fulat el ke etu lah mea Tokosra Hezekiah el kukin uh.
5I said: It is but vain words; for counsel and strength are for the war. Now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
5El fahk ouinge, “Ku kowos nunku mu kas uh ku in sang alein ku lulap ac pisrla ke mweun? Su kowos lulalfongi mu ac kasrekowos lain acn Assyria?
6Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it; so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
6Kowos lulalfongi mu acn Egypt ac kasrekowos, tuh fin ouinge ac oana ke kowos sikalkin loa — ac mau kaptelik ac kanteya pouwos. Pa ingan luman tokosra lun Egypt nu sin mwet su tupan kasru sel uh.”
7But if thou 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 to Jerusalem: Ye shall worship before this altar?
7Na mwet kol fulat sac lun mwet Assyria el tafwela ac fahk, “Ku kowos ac fahk nu sik lah kowos ac lulalfongi na LEUM GOD lowos? Nien alu sin LEUM GOD ac loang lal pa Hezekiah el tuh kunausla ke el fahk nu sin mwet Judah ac Jerusalem elos in alu ke loang sefanna.
8Now therefore, I pray thee, make a wager with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
8Nga ac oru sie pwapa nu suwos inen Tokosra Fulat. Nga ac sot nu suwos tausin luo ke horse kowos fin ku in konauk pisen mwet ma ac fal in kasrusr fac.
9How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain, even of the least of my master's servants? yet thou puttest thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!
9Finne mwet ma srik emeet wal la sin mwet leum lun Assyria, kowos tia apkuran in lainulos. Ne ouinge kowos finsrak mu mwet Egypt ac supwama chariot ac mwet kasrusr fin horse nu suwos.
10And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? The LORD said unto me: Go up against this land, and destroy it.'
10Ya kowos nunku mu nga mweuni facl suwos ac kunausla sayen kasru sin LEUM GOD ? LEUM GOD sifacna El fahk nu sik in mweuni ac kunausla.”
11Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rab-shakeh: 'Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Aramean language, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.'
11Na Eliakim, Shebna ac Joah fahk nu sin mwet kol sac, “Kaskas nu sesr ke kas Aramaic. Kut kalem na kac. Nimet kas Hebrew — mwet nukewa fin pot uh lohng na ma kom fahk an.”
12But Rab-shakeh said: 'Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?'
12Ac el topuk, “Mea, komtal nunku mu komtal ac tokosra mukena pa Tokosra Fulat el supweyume ngan fahk ma inge nu se uh? Mo, nga tuku in fahk pac nu sin mwet ma muta fin pot uh, su ac fah kang fohk lalos ac nim kifwalos oana ke kowos ac mau oru uh.”
13Then Rab-shakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said: 'Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
13Na mwet kol fulat sac tuyak ac wowoyak ke kas Hebrew, “Lohng ma Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el fahk nu suwos.
14Thus saith the king: Let not Hezekiah beguile you, for he will not be able to deliver you;
14El sensenkakin kowos tuh kowos in tia lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekowos. Hezekiah el tia ku in molikowosla.
15neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying: The LORD will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
15Ac nimet lela elan furokkowosla in lulalfongi ke LEUM GOD . Nimet nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac molikowos, ac sikulya un mwet mweun lun Assyria in tia sruokya siti suwos an.
16Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus saith the king of Assyria: Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
16Nimet lohngol Hezekiah! Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el sap kowos in ilme liki siti an ac srasrapo. Kowos nukewa ac filfilla in mongo grape ke ima lowos sifacna ac fig ke sak sunowos sifacna, ac in nim kof ke lufin kof lowos sifacna —
17until 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.
17nwe ke na Tokosra Fulat lasr el sifilpa oaki kowos in sie facl ma oapana acn suwos, acn ma oasr ima in grape in orala wain, ac wheat mwe orek bread.
18Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying: The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
18Nimet lela Hezekiah elan kiapwekowos in nunku mu LEUM GOD El ac molikowosla. Ya god lun mutunfacl saya uh nu molelosla liki poun Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria?
19Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
19God lun Hamath ac Arpad elos oasr oya inge? Ac pia god lun Sepharvaim? Ya oasr selos tuh molela acn Samaria?
20Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?'
20Ya oasr pacl se sie sin god lun mutunfacl inge nu molelosla liki Tokosra Fulat lasr uh? Na mea se oru kowos in nunku mu LEUM GOD El ku in molela acn Jerusalem?”
21But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, saying: 'Answer him not.'
21Mwet uh mislana tia kas, oana ke Tokosra Hezekiah el sapkin nu selos. Elos tiana topuk sie kas.
22Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that 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 Rab-shakeh.
22Na Eliakim, Shebna ac Joah seya nuknuk lalos ke asor, ac som fahkak nu sin tokosra ma mwet kol fulat lun Assyria el fahk ah.
