< Isaiah 36 >
1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
A shekara ta goma sha huɗu ta mulkin Sarki Hezekiya, Sennakerib sarkin Assuriya ya kai wa dukan birane masu kagaran Yahuda yaƙi ya kuma kame su.
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field.
Sai sarkin Assuriya ya aiki sarkin yaƙinsa tare da mayaƙa masu yawa daga Lakish zuwa wurin Sarki Hezekiya a Urushalima. Sa’ad da sarkin yaƙi ya tsaya a wuriyar Tafkin Tudu, a hanya zuwa Filin Mai Wanki,
3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.
Eliyakim ɗan Hilkiya sarkin fada, Shebna magatakarda, da Yowa ɗan Asaf marubuci suka fita zuwa wurinsa.
4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Sai sarkin yaƙin ya ce musu, “Ku faɗa wa Hezekiya. “‘Ga abin da babban sarki, sarkin Assuriya, ya faɗa. A kan me kake dangana wannan ƙarfin halinka?
5 I say, [thy] counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
Ka ce kana da dabara da kuma ƙarfin mayaƙa, amma kana magana banza ce kawai. Ga wa ka dogara, da kake tayar mini?
6 Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt, whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
Yanzu duba, kana dogara ga Masar, wannan ɗan tsinken kyauron dogarawa, wanda zai soki hannun mutum yă kuma ji masa rauni in ya dangana a kansa! Haka Fir’auna sarkin Masar yake ga duk wanda ya dogara da shi.
7 But if thou say unto me, We trust in Jehovah our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Kuma in ka ce mini, “Mun dogara ga Ubangiji Allahnmu ne” ba shi ba ne Hezekiya ya rurrushe masujadan kan tudunsa da bagadansa, yana ce wa Yahuda da Urushalima, “Dole ku yi sujada wa gaban wannan bagade”?
8 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
“‘Yanzu fa, bari in yi ciniki da maigidana, sarki Assuriya. Zan ba ka dawakai dubu biyu, in za ka sa mahaya a kansu!
9 How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Yaya za ka ƙi hafsan mafi ƙanƙanci na hafsoshin maigidana, ko da yake kana dogara ga Masar don kekunan yaƙi da mahayan dawakai?
10 And am I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Ban da haka kuma, na zo ne in faɗa in kuma hallaka wannan ƙasa ba tare da Ubangiji ba? Ubangiji kansa ya faɗa mini in tasar wa wannan ƙasa in kuma hallaka ta.’”
11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Sai Eliyakim, Shebna da Yowa suka ce wa sarkin yaƙin, “Ka yi haƙuri ka yi wa bayinka magana da Arameyanci, da yake muna jinsa. Kada ka yi mana magana da Yahudanci a kunnen mutanen da suke kan katanga.”
12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?
Amma sarkin yaƙin ya amsa ya ce, “Kuna tsammani ga maigidanku da ku ne kawai maigidana ya aiko ni in yi waɗannan maganganu, ba ga mutanen da suke zama a kan katanga ba, waɗanda kamar ku, za su ci kashinsu su kuma sha fitsarinsu?”
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Sa’an nan sarkin yaƙin ya tsaya ya kuma yi kira da Yahudanci ya ce, “Ku ji kalmomin babban sarki, sarkin Assuriya!
14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you:
Ga abin da sarki ya ce kada ku bar Hezekiya ya ruɗe ku. Ba zai cece ku ba!
15 neither let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Kada ku bar Hezekiya ya rarashe ku ku dogara ga Ubangiji sa’ad da ya ce, ‘Tabbatacce Ubangiji zai cece mu; ba za a ba da wannan birni a hannun sarkin Assuriya ba.’
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern;
“Kada ku saurari Hezekiya. Ga abin da sarkin Assuriya ya faɗa. Ku nemi salama da ni ku kuma fito zuwa wurina. Ta haka kowa zai ci daga kuringarsa da kuma itacen ɓaurensa ya kuma sha ruwa daga tankinsa,
17 until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
sai na zo na kuma kwashe ku zuwa ƙasa kamar taku, ƙasar hatsi da kuma sabon ruwan inabi, ƙasar abinci da gonakin inabi.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
“Kada ku bar Hezekiya ya ruɗe ku sa’ad da ya ce, ‘Ubangiji zai cece mu.’ Allahn wata al’umma ya taɓa ceci ƙasarsa daga hannun sarkin Assuriya?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Ina allolin Hamat da na Arfad? Ina allolin Sefarfayim? Sun fanshi Samariya daga hannuna?
20 Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Wanne cikin dukan allolin ƙasashen nan ya iya ceton ƙasarsa daga gare ni? Yaya kuwa Ubangiji zai iya ceci Urushalima daga hannuna?”
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Amma mutanen suka yi shiru ba su kuwa ce kome ba, gama sarki ya yi umarni cewa, “Kada ku amsa masa.”
22 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Sai Eliyakim ɗan Hilkiya sarkin fada, Shebna magatakarda, da kuma Yowa ɗan Asaf marubuci suka tafi wurin Hezekiya, da rigunansu a kyakkece, suka kuwa faɗa masa abin da sarkin yaƙin ya yi ta farfaɗa.
