Isaya 37
1 Kane Ruoth Hezekia owinjo wachno, noyiecho lepe morwako pien gugru mi odhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And it came to pass, when king Ezechias had heard it, that he rent his garments and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
2 Ne ooro Eliakim ma jatend od ruoth, gi Shebna jagoro kod jodolo madongo ir janabi Isaya wuod Amoz ka giduto girwako piende gugru.
And he sent Eliacim who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and the ancients of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaias the son of Amos the prophet.
3 Negiwachone niya, “Ma e gima Hezekia wacho: Odiechiengni en odiechieng kuyo, siem kod wichkuot machalo gi nyithindo ma ndalogi mar nywol osechopo to onge teko minywologigo.
And they said to him: Thus saith Ezechias: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Nyalo bedo ni Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachi biro winjo weche Rabshake jatend lweny, ma jatende ma ruodh Asuria oseoro mondo oyany Nyasaye mangima, kendo obiro kwere kuom weche mane Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachu osewinjo kowacho. Kuom mano, in Isaya, lamne ji mane otony ma pod ngima.”
It may be the Lord thy God will hear the words of Rabsaces, whom the king of the Assyrians his master hath sent to blaspheme the living God, and to reproach with words which the Lord thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 Kane jodong Ruoth Hezekia nobiro ir Isaya,
And the servants of Ezechias came to Isaias.
6 Isaya nowachonegi niya, “Nyisuru ruodhu ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: Kik ibed maluor kuom weche misewinjo, wechego ma ruodh Asuria oseyanyago.
And Isaias said to them: Thus shall you say to your master: Thus saith the Lord: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.
7 Winji! Abiro goyo chunye gi kihondko ma kowinjo wach moro to noring odog e pinygi, to kuno ema nachiwe mondo onege gi ligangla.’”
Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a message, and shall return to his own country, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own country.
8 Kane Rabshake jatend lweny owinjo ni ruodh Asuria osewuok Lakish, ne oringo oa kanyo moyudo ka ruoth kedo gi jo-Libna.
And Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna. For he had heard that he was departed from Lachis.
9 Senakerib noyudo wach ni Tirhaka ja-Kush ruodh Misri obiro monje. Kane owinjo wachno, nooro joote ir Hezekia kowacho kama:
And he heard say about Tharaca the king of Ethiopia: He is come forth to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Ezechias, saying:
10 “Wachne Hezekia ruodh Juda kama: Kik iyie nyasaye migeno kuomeno wuondi kowacho ni, ‘Jerusalem ok nochiw e lwet ruodh Asuria.’
Thus shall you speak to Ezechias the king of Juda, saying: Let not thy God deceive thee, in whom thou trustest, saying: Jerusalem shall not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
11 Adier isewinjo gik ma ruodhi mag Asuria osetimo ni pinjeruodhi duto kotiekogi chuth. In to iparo ni ibiro tony?
Behold thou hast heard all that the kings of the Assyrians hare done to all countries which they have destroyed, and canst thou be delivered?
12 Bende nyiseche mag ogendini mane kwerena oketho pinygi kaka nyiseche mag Gozan, Haran, Rezef kod jo-Eden man Tel Assar nokonyogi?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them whom my fathers have destroyed, Gozam, and Haram, and Reseph, and the children of Eden, that were in Thalassar?
13 Tinde ere ruodh Hamath, gi ruodh Arpad gi ruodh dala maduongʼ mar Sefarvaim, kata ruodh Hena kod Iva?”
Where is the king of Emath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Ana, and of Ava?
14 Hezekia noyudo baruwano mane joote okelone mosome. Bangʼe nodhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, moyaro baruwano e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
And Ezechias took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and Ezechias spread it before the Lord.
15 Kendo Hezekia nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kowacho kama:
And Ezechias prayed to the Lord, saying:
16 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, ma Nyasach Israel, modak e kind kerubi, in kendi e Nyasaye mar pinjeruodhi duto manie piny, kendo in ema ne ichweyo polo gi piny.
O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest upon the cherubims, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth, thou hast made heaven and earth.
17 Chik iti, yaye Jehova Nyasaye mondo iwinji, yaw wangʼi, yaye Jehova Nyasaye mondo ine; kendo winjie weche duto ma Senakerib oseoro joge kayanyigo in Nyasaye mangima.
Incline, O Lord, thy ear, and hear: open, O Lord, thy eyes, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to blaspheme the living God.
18 “En adier, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ni ruodhi mag Asuria osetieko ogendini mangʼenygi ma giweyo pinjegi gunda.
For of a truth, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste lands, and their countries.
19 Gisewito nyisechegi e mach mi gitiekogi, nikech ne ok gin nyiseche to ne gin mana yien kod kidi molos gi lwet dhano.
And they have cast their gods into the fire, for they were not gods, but the works of men’s hands, of wood and stone: and they broke them in pieces.
20 Yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasachwa, koro reswa e lwet Senakerib mondo pinjeruodhi duto manie piny ongʼe ni in kendi e Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasaye.”
And now, O Lord our God, save us out of his hand: and let all the kingdoms of the earth know, that thou only art the Lord.
21 Eka Isaya wuod Amoz ne ooro wach ne Hezekia kama: “Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, wacho: Nikech uselama kuom wach mar Senakerib ruodh Asuria,
And Isaias the son of Amos sent to Ezechias, saying: Thus saith the Lord the God of Israel: For the prayer thou hast made to me concerning Sennacherib the king of the Assyrians:
22 ma e wach ma Jehova Nyasaye osewacho kuom Senakerib: “Nyar Sayun Mangili ochayi kendo jari. Nyar Jerusalem kino wiye koneni kiringo.
This is the word which the Lord hath spoken of him: The virgin the daughter of Sion hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn: the daughter of Jerusalem hath wagged the head after thee.
23 En ngʼa misejaro kendo yanyo? Koso en ngʼa ma isegone koko, kijowo wangʼi gi sunga? Donge en mana Jal Maler mar Israel.
Whom hast thou reproached, and whom hast thou blasphemed, and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thy eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Kokalo kuom jooteni usegango weche mag ayany kuom Ruoth Nyasaye. Bende usewacho niya, ‘Gi gechena mangʼeny mag lweny, aseidho gode maboyo mag Lebanon mi achopo ewi got mabor moloyo. Asetongʼo yiendene mag sida maboyo kendo mabeyo. Asechopo nyaka e chuny bungu ma iye mogik kuma yien odiche.
By the hand of thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord: and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots I have gone up to the height of the mountains, to the top of Libanus: and I will out down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees, and will enter to the top of its height, to the forest of its Carmel.
25 Asekunyo sokni e pinje mamoko mi amodho pige man kuno. Asemiyo aore duto mag Misri bende oduono ka anyonogi gi tienda.’
I have digged, and drunk water, and have dried up with the sole of my foot, all the rivers shut up in banks.
26 “Donge usewinjo ni an ema ne achano chon mondo gigo otimre? Ne achanogi chon to koro amiyo gitimore, kendo an ema ne achano mondo imuk mier madongo mochiel motegno mondo olokre pidhe mag kite.
Hast thou not heard what I have done to him of old? from the days of old I have formed it: and now I have brought it to effect: and it hath come to pass that hills fighting together, and fenced cities should be destroyed.
27 Joge teko orumonegi, mi gibuok kendo gidongʼ gi wichkuot. Gichalo gi cham manie puodho, kata ka maua mangʼich mathiewo, kata ka lum madongo ewi tado, to ner kapok odongo.
The inhabitants of them were weak of hand, they trembled, and were confounded: they became like the grass of the field, and the herb of the pasture, and like the grass of the housetops, which withered before it was ripe.
28 “To angʼeyo kama idakie, bende angʼeyo sa ma idonjo kata sa ma iwuok, kata kaka iwuoyo marach kuoma.
I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
29 Nikech iwuoyo kuoma marach kendo wechegi maricho osechopo e ita, abiro keto chuma e umi kod mbedona e dhogi, kendo abiro miyo idog gi yo mane ibirogo.
When thou wast mad against me, thy pride came up to my ears: therefore I will put a ring in thy nose, and a bit between thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
30 “Ma ema nobedni ranyisi, yaye Hezekia: “E higa mokwongoni unucham gik matwi kendgi kendo e higa mar ariyo unucham orowe moloth bangʼ keyo e higa mokwongono. To e higa mar adek, unuchwo kodhi kendo unuka cham, bende unupidh mzabibu mi ucham olembegi.
But to thee this shall be a sign: Eat this year the things that spring of themselves, and in the second year eat fruits: but in the third year sow and reap, and giant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
31 Jo-Juda modongʼ biro chalo gi yath matero tiendene piny kendo nyago olemo e bedene.
And that which shall be saved of the house of Juda, and which is left, shall take root downward, and shall bear fruit upward:
32 Nimar joma nok modongʼ nowuog Jerusalem, kendo oganda mar joma otony nowuogi koa e Got Sayun. Jehova Nyasaye Maratego, notim ma kuom tekone owuon.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a, remnant, and salvation from mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
33 “Kuom mano ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho ewi ruodh Asuria: “Ok nodonji e dala maduongʼni kata diro asere. Ok nomonj dalano kotingʼo kuot kata lwore gi jolweny mondo omonje.
Wherefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a trench about it.
34 Enodogi mana gi yo mane obirogo; kendo ok enodonj e dala maduongʼni,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
By the way that he came, he shall return, and into this city he shall not come, saith the Lord.
35 “Abiro kedone dala maduongʼni kendo rese, nikech nyinga kod nying Daudi jatichna!”
And I will protect this city, and will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
36 Eka malaika mar Jehova Nyasaye ne owuok mi odhi onego ji alufu mia achiel gi piero aboro gabich e kambi mar jo-Asuria. Kane ji ochiewo gokinyi negiyudo mana ringre joma otho!
And the angel of the Lord went out, and slew in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And they arose in the morning, and behold they were all dead corpses.
37 Omiyo Senakerib ruodh Asuria noweyo lweny moloro kambi kendo nodok Nineve kuma nodakie.
And Sennacherib the king of the Assyrians went out and departed, and returned, and dwelt in Ninive.
38 Chiengʼ moro achiel kane olemo e hekalu mar Nisrok nyasache, yawuote miluongo ni Adramelek gi Shareza nonege gi ligangla, bangʼe negiringo gidhi e piny Ararat. Kendo Esarhadon wuode nobedo ruoth kare.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the temple of Nesroch his god, that Adramelech and Sarasar his sons slew him with the sword: and they fled into the land of Ararat, and Asarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
