Isaya 37
1 Kane Ruoth Hezekia owinjo wachno, noyiecho lepe morwako pien gugru mi odhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye.
And it cometh to pass, at the king Hezekiah's hearing, that he rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth, and entereth the house of Jehovah,
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 sendeth Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, unto Isaiah son of Amoz 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 say unto him, 'Thus said Hezekiah, A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for come have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bear.
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 Jehovah thy God doth hear the words of Rabshakeh with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.'
5 Kane jodong Ruoth Hezekia nobiro ir Isaya,
And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah,
6 Isaya nowachonegi niya, “Nyisuru ruodhu ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: Kik ibed maluor kuom weche misewinjo, wechego ma ruodh Asuria oseyanyago.
and Isaiah saith unto them, 'Thus do ye say unto your lord, Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled 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.’”
Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a report, and hath turned back unto his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.'
8 Kane Rabshake jatend lweny owinjo ni ruodh Asuria osewuok Lakish, ne oringo oa kanyo moyudo ka ruoth kedo gi jo-Libna.
And Rabshakeh turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath journeyed from Lachish.
9 Senakerib noyudo wach ni Tirhaka ja-Kush ruodh Misri obiro monje. Kane owinjo wachno, nooro joote ir Hezekia kowacho kama:
And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, 'He hath come out to fight with thee;' and he heareth, and sendeth messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 “Wachne Hezekia ruodh Juda kama: Kik iyie nyasaye migeno kuomeno wuondi kowacho ni, ‘Jerusalem ok nochiw e lwet ruodh Asuria.’
'Thus do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
11 Adier isewinjo gik ma ruodhi mag Asuria osetimo ni pinjeruodhi duto kotiekogi chuth. In to iparo ni ibiro tony?
Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands — to devote them — and thou art delivered!
12 Bende nyiseche mag ogendini mane kwerena oketho pinygi kaka nyiseche mag Gozan, Haran, Rezef kod jo-Eden man Tel Assar nokonyogi?
Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed — Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Telassar?
13 Tinde ere ruodh Hamath, gi ruodh Arpad gi ruodh dala maduongʼ mar Sefarvaim, kata ruodh Hena kod Iva?”
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?'
14 Hezekia noyudo baruwano mane joote okelone mosome. Bangʼe nodhi e hekalu mar Jehova Nyasaye, moyaro baruwano e nyim Jehova Nyasaye.
And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and readeth them, and Hezekiah goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah.
15 Kendo Hezekia nolamo Jehova Nyasaye kowacho kama:
And Hezekiah prayeth unto Jehovah, 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.
'Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou [art] God Himself — Thyself alone — to all kingdoms of the earth, Thou hast made the heavens and the 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 Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes and see; and hear Thou all the words of Sennacherib that he hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 “En adier, yaye Jehova Nyasaye, ni ruodhi mag Asuria osetieko ogendini mangʼenygi ma giweyo pinjegi gunda.
'Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land,
19 Gisewito nyisechegi e mach mi gitiekogi, nikech ne ok gin nyiseche to ne gin mana yien kod kidi molos gi lwet dhano.
so as to put their gods into fire — for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone — and they destroy them.
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, Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth do know that Thou [art] Jehovah, Thyself alone.'
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 Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur —
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 that Jehovah spake concerning him: Trampled on thee, laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion, Behind thee shaken the head hath the daughter of Jerusalem.
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 reviled? And against whom lifted up the voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes 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 reviled the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, 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 — I have dug and drunk waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
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 from afar? — it I did, From days of old — that I formed it. Now, I have brought it in, And it is to make desolate, Ruinous heaps — fenced cities,
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.
And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up. They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn, before it hath risen up.
28 “To angʼeyo kama idakie, bende angʼeyo sa ma idonjo kata sa ma iwuok, kata kaka iwuoyo marach kuoma.
And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thy anger towards 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.
Because of thy anger towards Me, And thy noise — it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And I have caused thee to turn back In the way in 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.
— And this to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is] self-sown grain, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, And in the third year, sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 Jo-Juda modongʼ biro chalo gi yath matero tiendene piny kendo nyago olemo e bedene.
And it hath continued — the escaped Of the house of Judah that hath been left — To take root beneath, And it hath made 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 from Jerusalem goeth forth a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth 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.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it [with] shield, Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.
34 Enodogi mana gi yo mane obirogo; kendo ok enodonj e dala maduongʼni,” Jehova Nyasaye ema owacho.
In the way that he came, in it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, An affirmation of Jehovah,
35 “Abiro kedone dala maduongʼni kendo rese, nikech nyinga kod nying Daudi jatichna!”
And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine 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 a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are] dead corpses.
37 Omiyo Senakerib ruodh Asuria noweyo lweny moloro kambi kendo nodok Nineve kuma nodakie.
And journey, and go, and turn back doth Sennacherib king of Asshur, and dwelleth in Nineveh.
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 cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
