כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ אַל־יַשִּׁ֥יא לָכֶ֖ם חִזְקִיָּ֑הוּ כִּי־לֹ֣א יוּכַ֔ל לְהַצִּ֥יל אֶתְכֶ֖ם מִיָּדֽוֹ

See the discussion in the introduction to this chapter of the multiple levels of quotation in verses 19–25. If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate all of this long quotation so that there are not quotations within quotations. Alternate translation: [The king says that you should not let Hezekiah deceive you, since he is not able to deliver you from his hand]

Some ancient manuscripts read “his hand.” The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “my hand.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Since Hezekiah is not able to deliver you from my hand, do not let him deceive you]

לָכֶ֖ם & אֶתְכֶ֖ם
to/for=you(pl) & ,you(pl)
The word you is plural in both of these instances because king of Assyria, speaking through the Rabshakeh, is addressing the Judeans who have gathered on the city wall. For the same reason, the words “you” and “your” and the implied “you” in imperatives are also plural throughout verses 30–32. So use plural forms in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
OET (OET-LV) Thus he_says the_king not let_him_deceive to/for_you(pl) Ḩizqiyyāh if/because not he_will_be_able to_deliver you(pl) from_hand_of_his.
OET (OET-RV) He’s warning you all not to let Hizkiyah deceive you, because he’s unable to save you all from our army.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
