< Isaiah 37 >

1 And on hearing it Hezekiah took off his robe and put on haircloth and went into the house of the Lord.
Aa ie nahajanjiñe izay t’Iekiz­kia, le rinia’e o siki’eo naho nisaron-gony vaho nimoak’ añ’an­jomba’ Iehovà ao.
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
Nirahe’e mb’am’ Iesaià mpitoky ana’ i Amotse amy zao t’i Eliakime mpifeleke i anjombay, naho i Sebnà mpanokitse naho o zokem-pisoroñeo songa nisaron-gony.
3 And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame: for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to them.
Le hoe ty enta’ iareo ama’e: Hoe t’Iekizkia: Androm-poheke naho trevoke vaho teratera ty andro toy; fa antitotse ho samake o ajajao fe tsy eo ty haozarañe hahatoly.
4 It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so make your prayer for the rest of the people.
He ho janjiñe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o o saontsi’ i Rabsakè nañiraham-panjaka’ i Asore tale’eo hanigike an’ Andrianañahare veloñe, vaho hendaha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o i saontsy jinanji’ey; ehe mihalalia ho amy ze sehanga’e mbe eo.
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Aa le nivo­trak’ am’ Iesaià eo o mpitoro’ Iekizkiao.
6 And Isaiah said to them, This is what you are to say to your master: The Lord says, Be not troubled by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have said against me in your hearing.
Le hoe t’Iesaià am’ iareo: Zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy tale’ areoy: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: ko hembañ’ amo entañe jinanji’oo, amo niteratera’ o mpitoro’ i Mpanjaka’ i Asoreo Ahikoo.
7 See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death.
Inao te hajoko ama’e ty fañahy, le hijanjiñe tolom-boetse naho himpoly an-tane’e añe vaho hampikorovoheko am-pibara an-tane’e ao.
8 So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah: for it had come to his ears that the king of Assyria had gone away from Lachish.
Aa le nibalike mb’eo t’i Rabsakè, vaho zoe’e nifañotake amy Libnà ty mpanjaka’ i Asore, fa tsinano’e t’ie nienga i Lakise.
9 And when news came to him that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had made an attack on him, ... And he sent representatives to Hezekiah, king of Judah, saying,
Le hoe ty jinanji’e ty amy Tirhakà, mpanjaka’ i Kose, Miavotse mb’etoa re hialy ama’o. Ie jinanji’e izay le nañitrike am’ Iekizkia ty hoe:
10 This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.
Ty hoe ty ho saontsie’ areo am’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà: Asoao tsy henga’o hanigìke azo t’i Andrianañahare iatoa’o, hanao ty hoe: Tsy hatolo­tse am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Asore t’Ierosalaime.
11 No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse: and will you be kept safe from their fate?
Inao, tsy jinanji’o hao ty nanoa’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo amo hene taneo? ie nampangotomomohe’e; aa havo­tsotse hao nahareo?
12 Did the gods of the nations keep safe those on whom my fathers sent destruction, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
Fa rinomban-drahare’e hao o rinotsan-droaekoo: i Gozane naho i Harane, naho i Retsefe vaho o ana’ i Edene e Telasareo?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the town of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivva?
Aia ty mpanjaka’ i Kamàte naho ty mpanjaka’ i Arpade naho ty mpanjakan-drova’ i Sefarvaime, ty a i Henà vaho Ivà?
14 And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord,
Aa ie rinambe’ Iekizkià i taratasy am-pità’ o nampihitrifeñeoy naho vinaki’e; le nionjomb’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo t’Iekizkia, vaho vinela’e añatrefa’ Iehovà.
15 And he made prayer to the Lord, saying,
Nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’Iekizkia ami’ty hoe:
16 O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.
Ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ Israele, mpiambesatse ambone’ o kerobeo; Ihe ro Andrianañahare, Ihe avao, amy ze kila fifeleha’ ty tane toy; ry Andrianamboats’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy.
17 Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord; let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see: take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.
Atokilaño ty ravembia’o ry Iehovà naho janjiño; abolanaho o fihaino’oo ry Iehovà vaho vazohò; inao ze hene enta’ i Senkeribe, nahitri’e hañinje an’ Andrianañahare veloñe.
18 Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have made waste all the nations and their lands,
O ry Iehovà, Toe fonga nampangoakoahe’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo o fifeheañeo naho o tane’ iareoo,
19 And have given their gods to the fire: for they were no gods, but wood and stone, the work of men's hands; so they have given them to destruction.
vaho naretsa’ iareo añ’afo ao o ndrahare’ iareoo amy t’ie tsy Andrianañahare, fa sata-pità’ ondaty, hatae naho vato; aa le finongo’e.
20 But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hand, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you, and you only, are the Lord.
Ie henaneo ry Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ay, rombaho am-pità’e zahay, soa te ho fohi’ ze kila fifeleha’ ty tane toy te Ihe ro Iehovà, Ihe avao.
21 Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.
Aa le nahitri’ Iesaià ana’ i Amotse am’ Iekizkia ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Amy te ihe ro nihalaly amako ty amy Senkeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore,
22 This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you.
le hoe ty tsara nafè’ Iehovà ama’e: Fa nanirika azo i anak’ ampela’ i Tsioney, nitohafa’e an-drabioñe; vaho nikofikofi-doha amboho’o ao i anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaimey.
23 Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? and against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Ia ty sinigì’o naho tineratera’o? Ia ty nañonjona’o feo? Toe nampiandrae’o mañambone ey o maso’oo, hiatreatrea’o t’i Masi’ Israele!
24 You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; and its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods: I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.
O mpitoro’oo ty nañamavoa’o i Talè, ami’ty hoe: Amo hatsifotofoton-tsaretekoo ty nitroarako ankaboa’ o vohitseo, an-tsifitsifi’ i Lebanone ao; fonga finirako ze mendoraveñe abo; naho ze akao soa; nizilihako i haboañe lavitse ama’ey, ty ala-vondro an-goloboñe kobokara.
25 I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.
Nihaly iraho vaho ninon-drano, le ami’ty lelam-pandiako ty nañamaihako ze hene saka’ i Mitsraime.
26 Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.
Mboe tsy jinanji’o hao? Tsietoimoneñe izay ty nisafiriako taolo añe t’ie naereñereko; ie o tafetetse henaneo; te hafotetse ho kivotrevotre mangoakoake o rova nifatrareñeo.
27 This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field, or a green plant; like the grass on the house-tops, which a cold wind makes waste.
Aa le ni-kede ozatse o mpimone’eo, niampoheke vaho nisalatse, nanahake ty ahetse an-kivoke ey, hoe rongoñe antsetra, hoe ahetse ambone anjomba, mae t’ie mbe tsy matoe.
28 But I have knowledge of your getting up and your resting, of your going out and your coming in.
Fe apotako o fiambesa’oo, naho o fiavota’oo, o fimoaha’oo vaho o famantsiña’o amakoo.
29 Because your wrath against me and your pride have come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by the way you came.
Aa kanao nitazataza’o, naho nañambone mb’amo sofiko toañe ty korà’o, le hanoeko am-piantsoña’o ao ty porengoko, naho am-pivimbi’o ty laboridiko, vaho hampolieko mb’amy lalañe nomba’o mb’etoañey.
30 And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself, and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed, and get in the grain, and make vine-gardens, and take of their fruit.
Le zao ty ho viloñe ama’o: hikama o raha mitiry avao nahareo ami’ty taoñe toy; le ze mijirike ama’e ami’ty taom-paharoe; le mitongisa ami’ty taom-pahatelo naho manataha, amboleo valoboke vaho ikamao ty voka’e.
31 And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth, and give fruit.
Le hamahatse mañambane ty hengaha’ i anjomba’ Iehodày, vaho hamoa mañambone.
32 For from Jerusalem those who have been kept safe will go out, and those who are still living will go out of Mount Zion: by the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
Fa boake Ierosalaime ao ty hiavota’ ty honka’e vaho hirik’ am-bohi-Tsione o mahafibotàfotseo; ho henefe’ ty fahimbaña’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
33 For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it.
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà ty amy Mpanjaka’ i Asorey: tsy himoake an-drova atoy re, ndra hitifitse ana-pale, tsy hiatrefa’e am-pikalañe ndra hampitoabora’e votren-tane.
34 By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town.
I lalañe nomba’e mb’etoañey, ty himpolia’e mb’eo, tsy himoake ami’ty rova toy re, hoe t’Iehovà
35 For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour of my servant David.
Fa harovako naho ho rombaheko ty amako ty rova toy, vaho ty amy mpitoroko Davidey.
36 And the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men: and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.
Aa le nionjom-beo ty anjeli’ Iehovà nanjamañe ty Rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale-tsi-lime arivo an-tobe’ o nte-Asoreo; le ie nivañoñe maraindray t’indaty, hehe te fonga nidondom-pate ty ey.
37 Sennacherib, king of Assyria, went back to his place at Nineveh.
Niavotse amy zao t’i Senkeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore, nimpoly vaho nitoboke e Ninevèy ao.
38 And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword, and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon, his son, became king in his place.
Le teo t’ie niloloke añ’ anjomba’ i Nisroke ndrahare’e ao, te namatsik’ aze am-pibara ty Adrameleke naho i Sarezere ana’e vaho nifiotse mb’ an-tane Ararate añe. I Esar-kadone ana’e ty nandimbe aze ho mpifeleke.
