2 Hina 19
1 Yuda hina bagade Hesegaia da ilia sia: ne iasu nababeba: le, e da ea abula gadelale, eboboi abula salawane, Hina Gode Ea Debolo diasuga asi.
When King Hezekiah heard what they reported, he tore his clothes and put on clothes made of rough cloth [because he was very distressed]. Then he went to the temple [to ask God what to do].
2 E da Ilaiagime (hina bagade diasu ouligisu dunu), Siebena (hina bagade diasuga esalebe fi ilia sia: dedene legesu dunu) amola asigilai gobele salasu dunu amo huluane balofede dunu Aisaia (A: imose egefe) ema asunasi. Ilia amola da eboboi abula salawene asi.
He summoned Eliakim and Shebna and the (older/most important) priests, who were also wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, and told them to talk to me.
3 Hesegaia da adola ahoasu dunuma Aisaiama amane sia: sima: ne sia: i, “Wali eso da se nabasu eso bagadedafa! Ninia da se iasu naba amola gogosiasu da ninima doaga: i. Ninia da uda ilia mano lalelegemu gadenesea, gasa hameba: le, mano lamu hamedei, ninia da amo agoai ba: sa.
He said to them, “Tell this to Isaiah: ‘King Hezekiah says that we are having great distress/trouble now. [Other nations are causing] us to be insulted and disgraced. We are like [MET] a woman who is about to give birth to a child, but she does not have the strength that she needs to do it.
4 Asilia hina bagade da ea afoha ouligisu dunu amo Hina Godema gademusa: asunasi dagoi. Dia Hina Gode da amo gadesu sia: nabalu, amo gadesu sia: su dunuma se dabe imunu da defea. Amaiba: le, ninia dunu da hame bogoi esalebe, amo fidima: ne, dia Godema sia: ne gadoma.”
Perhaps Yahweh your God has heard everything that the official from Assyria said. Perhaps he knows that his boss/master, the king of Assyria, sent him to insult the all-powerful God, and that Yahweh will rebuke/punish him for what he said.’ And he requests that you pray for the few of us who are still alive [here in Jerusalem].”
5 Aisaia da hina bagade Hesegaia ea sia: si, nababeba: le,
When the messengers from Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
6 e da ema bu dabe adole ima: ne amane sia: si, “Hina Gode da dima amane sia: sa, ‘Asilia dunu da dili beda: ma: ne, Na da dili gaga: mu da hamedei sia: sa. Be ilia gasa fili sia: beba: le, mae beda: ma!
Isaiah said to them, “[Go back to] your boss/master [and] tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says: Those messengers from the king of Assyria have said evil things about me. But you should not be disturbed because of what they said.
7 Na, Hina Gode da hamobeba: le, Asilia hina bagade da beda: ma: ne udigili sia: nababeba: le, hi sogega buhagimu. Amola Na da hamobeba: le, e da amogawi medole legei ba: mu.’”
Listen to this: I will cause Sennacherib to hear a rumor that will worry him, [that a foreign army is about to attack his country]. So he will return to his own country, and there I will cause him to be assassinated by [men using] swords.’”
8 Asilia dadi gagui ouligisu dunu afae, da Asilia hina bagade amo La: igisi moilai bai bagade fisili, eno gadenene moilai Libina amoma doagala: musa: asi, amo nababeba: le, amogawi ema fada: i sia: sia: musa: asi.
The official from Assyria found out that the King of Assyria [and his army] had left Lachish [city], and that they were attacking Libnah, [which is a nearby city]. So the official went there [to report to him what had happened in Jerusalem].
9 Amola Asilia dunu da sia: amane sia: si nabi, Idioubia hina bagade da Idibidi dadi gagui dunu wa: i amo bisili, Asilia hina bagade ema doagala: musa: mana, amane sia: be nabi. Asilia hina bagade da amo sia: nababeba: le, e da Yuda hina bagade Hesegaiama meloa amane dedene iasi,
Soon after that, King Sennacherib received a report that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was leading his army, and was coming to attack them. So before King Sennacherib left Libnah [to fight against the army from Ethiopia], he sent other messengers to King Hezekiah with a letter.
10 “Dilia ‘gode’ amo da dilia dafawaneyale dawa: sa, dilima ogogole, na da dili hame hasalimu sia: sa. Be amo ogogosu sia: mae nabima!
[In the letter] he wrote this to Hezekiah: “Do not allow your god on whom you are relying to deceive you by promising that [the city of] Jerusalem will not be captured by my army [MTY].
11 Dilia da sia: nabi, amo Asilia hina bagade da soge fi gugunufinisimusa: sia: sea, e da dafawane gugunufinisimu. Dilia da hobeale gaga: su ba: mu, mae dawa: ma!
You have certainly heard what the armies of the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries. Our armies have completely destroyed them. So, (do you think that you will escape?/do not think that your god will save you!) [RHQ]
12 Na aowalali ilia da Gousa: ne, Halane, amola Lisefe moilai huluane gugunufinisi. Amola Bede Idini fi dunu Dila: sa moilai ganodini esala, huluane medole legei. Ilia ‘gode’ da amo huluane gaga: mu hamedei ba: i.
Did the gods of the nations that were about to be destroyed by the armies of the previous kings of Assyria rescue them? Did those gods rescue the people in the Gozan region and in Haran and Rezeph [cities in northern Syria] and the people of Eden who had been (deported/forced to go) to Tel-Assar [city]? None of the gods of those cities were able to rescue them.
13 Moilai Ha: ima: de amola Aba: de, Sefafa: ime, Hina, amola Ifai, ilia hina bagade ili da habila: ?”
What happened to the kings of Hamath and Arpad and Sepharvaim and Ivvah [cities] [RHQ]? [Most of them are dead, and the other people were deported]!”
14 Yuda hina bagade Hesegaia da amo meloa dedei sia: adola ahoasu dunuma lale, idi. Amalalu, e da Debolo Diasuga asili, meloa amo Hina Gode Ea midadi ligisili,
Hezekiah took the letter that the messengers gave him, and he read it. Then he went up to the temple and spread out the letter in front of Yahweh.
15 amane sia: ne gadoi, “Isala: ili fi ilia Hina Gode! Di da Dia fisu da: iya, amo ougia hamoi liligi gadodili esalebe. Disu da Godedafa amola Di da fifi asi gala huluanedafa ouligisa. Disu da osobo bagade amola mu hahamoi.
Then Hezekiah prayed, “Yahweh, the God whom to whom we Israelis belong, you are seated on your throne above the [statues of] creatures with wings, [above the Sacred Chest]. Only you are truly God. You rule all the kingdoms on this earth. You are the one who created [everything on] the earth and [in] the sky.
16 Wali Hina Gode! Hou da ninima doaga: i ba: ma! Sena: gelibi da Di, Esalebe Godedafa, amo Dima gadele sia: be nabima!
So, Yahweh, please listen to what I am saying, and look [at what is happening]. And listen to what King Sennacherib has said to insult you, the all-powerful God.
17 Hina Gode! Ninia huluane dawa: ! Asilia hina bagade ilia da fifi asi gala bagohame gugunufinisi dagoi, amola ilia soge wadela: lesi.
“Yahweh, it is true that [the armies of] the kings of Assyria have completely destroyed many nations, and ruined their land.
18 Ilia da amo dunu fi ilia ‘gode’ huluane laluga ulagi. (Be amo ‘gode’ ilia da ‘gode’dafa hame - ilia da osobo bagade dunu ilia loboga ifa amola gelega hamoi liligi fawane).
And they have thrown the idols of those nations into fires and burned them. But [that was not difficult to do, because] they were not gods. They were only statues made of wood and stone, idols that were shaped by humans, [and that is why they were destroyed easily].
19 Amaiba: le, wali ninia Hina Gode! Osobo bagade fifi asi gala huluanedafa, ilia da Di, Hina Gode da Godedafa, amo ilia dawa: ma: ne, Asilia dunu da nini mae hasalima: ne, nini gaga: ma!”
So now, Yahweh our God, please rescue us from the power [MTY] [of the king of Assyria], in order that the people in all the kingdoms of the world will know that you, Yahweh, are the only one who is truly God.”
20 Amalalu, Aisaia da hina bagade Hesegaiama, Hina Gode da ema ea sia: ne gadosu amane adole ima: ne amo sia: amane sia: si,
Then Isaiah sent this message to Hezekiah: “This is what Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, says: 'I have heard what you prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.
21 “Hina Gode da amane sia: i dagoi, ‘Sena: galibi di! Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade da diba: le oufesega: sa.
This is what I say to him: “The people of Jerusalem [MTY] despise you and make fun of you. They wag/shake their heads to mock you while you flee from here.
22 Di da Na, Isala: ili ilia Hadigidafa Hina Gode, Nama mae nodone, gadele sia: beba: le, di da nowa dunula: ?
Who do you think that you are despising and ridiculing? Who do you think you were shouting at? Who do you think you were looking at very proudly/arrogantly? It was I, the holy God whom the Israelis worship.
23 Di da dia adola ahoasu dunu Nama hidale, di amola dia ‘sa: liode’ fila heda: i dunu da baligili heda: i Lebanone goumi huluane hasali dagoi, amo Nama hidale sia: musa: asunasi. Di da baligili heda: i dolo ifa amola ‘saibala: se’ ifa noga: idafa abusa: le, iwiladafa amoga doaga: i, amo Nama hidale sia: i.
The messengers that you sent made fun of me. You said, 'With my many chariots I have gone to the highest mountains, even to the highest mountains in Lebanon. We have cut down its tallest cedar trees and its nicest pine/cyprus trees. We have been to the most distant/remote peaks and to its dense forests.
24 Di da eno hidale, amo di da hano si dogone, ga fi dunu ilia soge ganodini hano dili mai, amola dia dadi gagui dunu da osa: giba: le, Naile Hano da hafoga: i dagoi ba: i, amo huluane di hidale sia: i.
We have dug wells in other countries and drank water from them. And by marching through [MTY] the streams of Egypt, we dried them all up [HYP]!”’
25 Amo hou Na da hemonega ilegei, amo di da hame nabibala: ? Amola wali Na ilegei hou Na da hamoi dagoi. Di da gagili sali moilai bagohame gugunufinisiba: le, ilia da isu ligisisu agoai ba: sa. Be amo hamoma: ne, Nisu fawane da dima gasa defele i.
[‘But I reply], “Have you never heard that long ago I determined [that those things would happen]? I planned it long ago, and now I have been causing it to happen. I planned that your army would have [the power to] capture many cities that were surrounded by high walls, and cause them to become piles of rubble.
26 Dunu amogawi esalu da gasa hamedafa ba: i. Ilia da bagadewane beda: i amola gasa hameba: le, sidi agoai dialebe ba: i. Ilia da gisi, logo bega: o diasu da: iya gadodili lelebe, amo da gia: i bagade fo, gusudili mabe amoga fabe, amo defele ba: i.
The people who lived in those cities have no power, and as a result they became dismayed and discouraged. They are as frail as plants and grass in the fields, as frail as grass that grows on the roofs of houses and is scorched by the hot east wind.
27 Be dia hou huluanedafa Na dawa: ! Dia hamobe amola dia habidili ahoabe, amo huluane Na dawa: Na da dia Nama nimi bagade ougi hou Na dawa:
“But I know [everything about you]. I know when you are in your house and when you go outside; I also know that you are (raging/speaking very angrily) against me.
28 Na da dia ougi bagade hou amola gasa fi bagade hou amo sia: ne iasu, Na da lai dagoi. Amaiba: le, Na da wali dia mi ma: goga mi gala: mu, amola dia lafi ganodini gula misimu. Amola amoga, Na da di logo di misi amoga di buhagima: ne sesemu.”
So, because you have raged against me, and because I have heard [MTY] you speak very proudly/arrogantly, [it will be as though] I will put a hook in your nose and an iron (bit/piece of metal) in your mouth [in order that I can lead you where I want you to go], and I will force you to return [to your own country] on the same road on which you came here, [without conquering Jerusalem].” '
29 Amalalu, Aisaia da hina bagade Hesegaiama amane sia: i, “Na da dima hobea misunu hou da dafawane doaga: mu, amo dawa: digima: ne olelesu dima imunu. Wali ode amola aya ode, dilia da udigili sogega heda: i gala: ine fawane manu. Be ode aduna baligili eno amoga, dilia da gala: ine bugili, gamimu amola waini efe sagai bugili, waini fage manu.
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “This is what will happen to prove [that I am telling the truth]: This year and next year you [and your people] will be able to harvest only (wild grain/grain that grows without having been planted). But the following year, you [Israelis] will be able to plant grain and harvest it, and to plant vineyards and eat the grapes that you harvest.
30 Yuda soge ganodini, dunu amo da hame bogoi esalebe ba: sea, ilia da bugi amo da difi osobo gududafa sa: i, amola fage noga: le legei, amo defele ba: mu.
The people [MTY] in Judah who remain alive will prosper and have many children; they will be like plants whose roots go deep down into the ground and which produce much [MET].
31 Yelusaleme moilai bai bagadega amola Saione Goumia dunu hame bogoi, esalebe ba: mu. Bai Hina Gode da amo hou doaga: ma: ne, dafawane ilegei dagoi.
There will be many people in Jerusalem [DOU] who will survive, because Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven, wants [PRS] it to happen.
32 Amola Hina Gode da Asilia hina bagade ema misunu hou olelema: ne, amane sia: sa, ‘E da Yelusaleme hamedafa golili sa: imu. E da amoga dadi afae hamedafa gala: mu. Dadi gagui dunu da da: igene gaga: su liligi gaguiwane da, Yelusaleme gadenena hame misunu. Ilia da amoma doagala: musa: , osobo gasa: le lelegela hame heda: mu.
So this is what Yahweh, says about the king of Assyria: ‘His armies will not enter this city; they will not even shoot any arrows into it! His soldiers will not march outside the city gates carrying shields, and they will not even build high mounds of dirt against [the city walls] [to enable them to attack the city].
33 Asilia hina bagade da moilai ganodini mae golili sa: ili, hi misi logoga buhagimu. Bai Na, Hina Gode da amo sia: i dagoi.
Their king will return to his own country on the same road on which he came here. He will not enter this city! [That will happen because] I, Yahweh have said it!
34 Dunu da Nama nodoma: ne amola Na da Na hawa: hamosu dunu Da: ibidima dafawane ilegele sia: beba: le, Na da amo moilai gaga: mu.”
I will defend this city and prevent it from being destroyed. I will do this for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised to King David, who served me well.'”
35 Amo gasia, Hina Gode Ea a: igele dunu da Asilia ha wa: i fisisu amoga asili, Asilia dadi gagui dunu 185,000 agoane medole legei. Golale, hahabe, ilia huluane da osoboga bogogia: i dialebe ba: i.
That night, an angel from Yahweh went out to where the army of Assyria had put up their tents, and killed 185,000 of their soldiers! When the rest of their soldiers woke up the next morning, they saw that there were corpses everywhere!
36 Amalalu, Asili hina bagade Sena: galibi da Yuda soge fi doagala: lalu yolesili, Ninife moilai bagadega buhagi.
Then King Sennacherib left and went home to Nineveh, [the capital of Assyria].
37 Eso afaega, e da ea ogogosu ‘gode’ Miseloge ea debolo diasua ema nodone sia: ne gadolaloba, egefe aduna amo A: dala: melege amola Sialisa da elea gegesu gobiheiga, Sena: galibi fane legele, Elala: de sogega hobea: i. Sena: galibi egefe eno, amo Isaha: done, da e bagia Asilia hina bagade hamoi.
One day, when he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, two of his sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, killed him with their swords. Then they escaped and went to [the] Ararat [region, northwest of Nineveh]. And another of Sennacherib's sons, Esarhaddon, became the king of Assyria.
