36 ¶ Ezekyas te gen katòzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri, vin atake tout lavil nan peyi Jida ki te gen gwo ranpa pou pwoteje yo. Li pran yo.

Apre sa, li bay chèf gad palè li a lòd pou li kite lavil lakis ak yon gwo lame pou l' moute lavil Jerizalèm ale bò kote wa Ezekyas. Chèf gad palè a rive sou wout ki mennen nan jaden kote yo rense twal ki fenk tenn yo, li moute kan li toupre gwo kannal ki bay dlo nan sitèn anwo lavil la.

Twa moun Jida soti vin jwenn li. Se te Elyakim, pitit Ilkija a, ki te chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, Chebna, sekretè a, ak Joak, pitit Asaf la, ki te reskonsab achiv leta a.

Chèf gad palè wa Lasiri a di yo konsa: -Ale di wa Ezekyas men mesaj gran wa a, wa peyi Lasiri a, voye ba li: Poukisa ou gen tout konfyans sa a?

Ou konprann ou ka fè lagè ak bèl pawòl ase san ou pa bezwen entèlijans ak bon sòlda? Sou ki moun ou apiye kò ou pou ou kenbe tèt ak mwen konsa?

Ou al mete konfyans ou nan peyi Lejip! Yon baton wozo tou kase! Anvan ou apiye sou li, l'ap antre nan men ou, l'ap blese ou. Farawon an, wa peyi Lejip ou wè a, se konsa li ye pou tout moun ki fè l' konfyans.

Nou pral di m' koulye a se nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou mete konfyans nou! Atò, se pa kote nou te mete apa pou li yo ansanm ak tout lotèl li yo wa Ezekyas te fè disparèt nan peyi a, lèfini li mande pou tout moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm vin adore devan yon sèl lotèl la?

Antann nou avèk mèt mwen an, wa peyi Lasiri a. Lèfini, m'ap ban nou demil chwal si nou ka jwenn demil sòlda pou moute yo.

Ou pa menm gen moun ase pou bat yonn nan pi piti chèf ki sou lòd wa mwen an! Epi, se sou peyi Lejip w'ap konte jwenn cha lagè ak kavalye pou fè lagè!

10 Epitou, pa konprann se san konsantman Seyè a mwen vin atake peyi a pou m' detwi l'. Se Seyè a menm ki di m' vin atake peyi ou la pou m' detwi l'.

11 ¶ Lè sa a, Elyakim, Chebna ansanm ak Joak di chèf gad palè a: -Tanpri, mèt. Pale lang arameyen ak nou. Nou konprann lang sa a. Men pa pale ebre. Tout moun ki sou miray la ap koute.

12 Men chèf gad palè a di yo an ebre: -An! Nou konprann se avè wa nou an ansanm ak nou twa la a ase wa mwen an voye m' vin pale pawòl sa yo? Non. Se ak tout moun ki chita sou miray la menm m'ap pale. Yo menm tou pral manje poupou yo, yo pral bwè pipi yo ansanm ak nou!

13 Lè sa a, chèf gad palè a kanpe, li pran pale byen fò an ebre, li di: -Koute sa gran wa a, wa peyi Lasiri a, voye di nou:

14 Li voye di nou pa kite Ezekyas twonpe nou. Li pa ka sove nou tande!

15 Pa kite l' pran tèt nou lè l'ap di nou nou mèt sèten Seyè a pral sove nou, li p'ap lage lavil la nan men wa peyi Lasiri a.

16 Pa koute wa Ezekyas! Wa peyi Lasiri a mande pou nou fè lapè avè l', pou nou rann tèt nou ba li. Konsa, nou tout n'a manje rezen nan jaden rezen nou, n'a manje fig frans nan pye fig frans nou, n'a bwè dlo nan pi nou.

17 Lè wa a va vin isit la, l'a pran nou, l'a mennen nou nan yon lòt peyi ki tankou peyi pa nou an, yon peyi kote ki gen anpil ble pou fè farin ak anpil rezen pou fè diven.

18 Pa kite Ezekyas pran tèt nou pou nou kwè Seyè a va delivre nou. Eske bondye lòt nasyon yo te delivre yo anba men wa peyi Lasiri a?

19 Kote bondye moun Amat yo ak bondye moun Apad yo? Kote bondye moun Sefavayim yo? Eske yo te sove peyi Samari anba men l'?

20 Nan tout bondye sa yo, kilès ki te rive sove yonn nan peyi sa yo anba men l'? Atò, se Seyè a ki ta ka sove lavil Jerizalèm anba men l'?

21 Men pèp la pa louvri bouch li reponn. Yo pa di yon mo paske wa a te bay lòd pou pesonn pa reponn.

22 Apre sa, Elyakim, pitit Ilkiya a, ki te chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, Chebna, sekretè a, ak Joak, pitit Asaf la, ki te reskonsab achiv leta a, chire rad sou yo sitèlman sa te fè yo lapenn. Yo tounen al jwenn Ezekyas, yo rapòte l' tou sa chèf gad palè wa Lasiri a te di.

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.
