Ginsalakay sang Asiria ang Juda(A)

36 Sang ika-14 nga tuig sang paghari ni Hezekia sa Juda, ginsalakay ni Haring Senakerib sang Asiria ang tanan nga napaderan nga mga banwa sang Juda, kag gin-agaw niya ini. Kag samtang didto si Senakerib sa Lakish, ginsugo niya ang iya kumander upod sa madamo nga mga soldado nga magkadto sa Jerusalem sa pagpakigkita kay Haring Hezekia. Sang didto na ang kumander sa guwa sang Jerusalem, nagpundo siya kag ang iya mga soldado malapit sa ililigan sang ibabaw nga punong, didto dampi sa dalan pakadto sa lugar nga ginapanglabhan. Nagkadto sa iya si Eliakim nga anak ni Hilkia, nga administrador sang palasyo, si Shebna nga sekretaryo, kag si Joa nga anak ni Asaf, nga manugdumala sang mga kasulatan sang ginharian. Nagsiling sa ila ang kumander, “Hambala ninyo si Hezekia, nga amo ini ang ginasiling sang gamhanan nga hari sang Asiria:

“Ano bala ang imo ginasaligan? Nagahunahuna ka bala nga madaog mo ang inaway sa pulong lamang kag indi sa abilidad kag kusog sang imo mga soldado? Sin-o bala ang imo ginasaligan nga nagrebelde ka sa akon? Ang Egipto bala? Ini nga nasyon kag ang iya hari pareho lang sa bali nga baston nga kon gamiton mo nga panukod makapilas sang imo kamot. Pero basi kon magsiling ka sa akon nga nagasalig kamo sa Ginoo nga inyo Dios. Pero indi bala nga ginpaguba mo gani ang iya mga simbahan sa mataas nga mga lugar pati ang mga halaran sini, kag ginhambalan mo ang mga taga-Juda kag taga-Jerusalem nga dapat magsimba sila sa isa lang ka halaran?”

Nagsiling pa gid ang kumander, “Karon, silinga ninyo si Hezekia nga may ginatanyag sa iya ang akon agalon, ang hari sang Asiria. Hatagan siya namon sang 2,000 ka kabayo, ina kon may 2,000 man siya ka manugkabayo! Wala gid siya padaog bisan sa pinakanubo nga opisyal sang akon agalon. Nagasalig man lang siya sa Egipto nga maghatag sa iya sang mga karwahe kag mga manugkabayo. 10 Nagahunahuna bala siya nga wala ako pagsugua sang Ginoo sa pagkadto diri sa paglaglag sang sini nga nasyon? Ang Ginoo mismo ang nagsugo sa akon sa pagsalakay kag sa paglaglag sang sini nga nasyon.”

11 Nagsiling si Eliakim, Shebna, kag Joa sa kumander, “Palihog maghambal ka sa amon sa lingguahe nga Aramico, kay naintiendihan namon ini. Indi ka maghambal sa Hebreo kay mabatian ka sang mga tawo nga ara sa mga pader sang siyudad.” 12 Pero nagsabat ang kumander, “Ginsugo ako sang akon agalon nga ipahibalo ini nga mga butang sa tanan nga pumuluyo sang Jerusalem, indi lang sa inyo kag sa inyo hari. Kamo tanan gutumon kag uhawon sa tion nga salakayon namon kamo. Gani kaunon ninyo ang inyo tai kag imnon ninyo ang inyo ihi.”

13 Dayon nagtindog ang kumander kag nagsinggit sa lingguahe nga Hebreo, “Pamatii ninyo ang mensahi sang gamhanan nga hari sang Asiria! 14 Amo ini ang iya ginasiling: Indi kamo magpatunto kay Hezekia. Indi siya makaluwas sa inyo! 15 Indi kamo magpahaylo sa iya nga magsalig sa Ginoo kon magsiling siya, ‘Sigurado gid nga luwason kita sang Ginoo; ini nga siyudad indi pag-itugyan sa kamot sang hari sang Asiria.’

16 “Indi kamo magpamati kay Hezekia! Amo ini ang ginasiling sang hari sang Asiria: Indi na kamo magkontra sa akon; magsurender na lang kamo! Dayon tugutan ko kamo nga makakaon sang bunga sang inyo ubas kag higera, kag makainom sa inyo mga pulunduhan sang tubig, 17 hasta nga magabalik ako kag dal-on ko kamo sa duta nga pareho sang inyo duta—ang duta nga may mga talamnan sang ubas nga makahatag sa inyo sang bino, kag may mga uyas nga mahimo ninyo nga tinapay. 18 Indi kamo magpatalang kay Hezekia kon magsiling siya nga luwason kamo sang Ginoo. May mga dios bala sa bisan diin nga nasyon nga nakaluwas sa ila nasyon sa kamot sang hari sang Asiria? 19 May nahimo bala ang mga dios sang Hamat, Arpad kag Sefarvaim? Naluwas bala sang mga dios[a] sang Samaria ang ila duta sa akon mga kamot? 20 Sin-o sa mga dios sang sini nga mga nasyon ang nakaluwas sa ila nasyon sa akon? Gani paano maluwas sang Ginoo ang Jerusalem sa akon mga kamot?”

21 Pero wala nagsabat ang mga tawo, kay nagmando si Haring Hezekia nga indi sila magsabat. 22 Dayon gin-gisi ni Eliakim, Shebna, kag Joa ang ila mga bayo sa kasubo, kag nagkadto sila kay Hezekia kag ginsugid ang mga ginsiling sang kumander.

Sennacherib Threatens Jerusalem(A)

36 In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah’s(B) reign, Sennacherib(C) king of Assyria attacked all the fortified cities of Judah and captured them.(D) Then the king of Assyria sent his field commander with a large army from Lachish(E) to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. When the commander stopped at the aqueduct of the Upper Pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,(F) Eliakim(G) son of Hilkiah the palace administrator,(H) Shebna(I) the secretary,(J) and Joah(K) son of Asaph the recorder(L) went out to him.

The field commander said to them, “Tell Hezekiah:

“‘This is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: On what are you basing this confidence of yours? You say you have counsel and might for war—but you speak only empty words. On whom are you depending, that you rebel(M) against me? Look, I know you are depending(N) on Egypt,(O) that splintered reed(P) of a staff, which pierces the hand of anyone who leans on it! Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who depend on him. But if you say to me, “We are depending(Q) on the Lord our God”—isn’t he the one whose high places and altars Hezekiah removed,(R) saying to Judah and Jerusalem, “You must worship before this altar”?(S)

“‘Come now, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria: I will give you two thousand horses(T)—if you can put riders on them! How then can you repulse one officer of the least of my master’s officials, even though you are depending on Egypt(U) for chariots(V) and horsemen[a]?(W) 10 Furthermore, have I come to attack and destroy this land without the Lord? The Lord himself told(X) me to march against this country and destroy it.’”

11 Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah(Y) said to the field commander, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic,(Z) since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”

12 But the commander replied, “Was it only to your master and you that my master sent me to say these things, and not to the people sitting on the wall—who, like you, will have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine?(AA)

13 Then the commander stood and called out in Hebrew,(AB) “Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!(AC) 14 This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive(AD) you. He cannot deliver you! 15 Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the Lord when he says, ‘The Lord will surely deliver(AE) us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’(AF)

16 “Do not listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then each of you will eat fruit from your own vine and fig tree(AG) and drink water from your own cistern,(AH) 17 until I come and take you to a land like your own(AI)—a land of grain and new wine,(AJ) a land of bread and vineyards.

18 “Do not let Hezekiah mislead you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’ Have the gods of any nations ever delivered their lands from the hand of the king of Assyria? 19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad?(AK) Where are the gods of Sepharvaim?(AL) Have they rescued Samaria(AM) from my hand? 20 Who of all the gods(AN) of these countries have been able to save their lands from me? How then can the Lord deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”(AO)

21 But the people remained silent and said nothing in reply, because the king had commanded, “Do not answer him.”(AP)

22 Then Eliakim(AQ) son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebna the secretary and Joah son of Asaph the recorder(AR) went to Hezekiah, with their clothes torn,(AS) and told him what the field commander had said.

  1. Isaiah 36:9 Or charioteers

36 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.

And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh 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 fuller's field.

Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.

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

I say, sayest thou, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?

Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on 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 in him.

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

Now therefore give pledges, I pray thee, to 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.

How 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?

10 And 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.

11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian 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.

12 But Rabshakeh 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, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?

13 Then Rabshakeh 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.

14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you.

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

16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make an agreement with me by a present, 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;

17 Until 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.

18 Beware 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?

19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arphad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

20 Who are they among all the gods of these lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the Lord should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

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

22 Then 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 Rabshakeh.
