Esias 37
1 And it came to pass, when king Ezekias heard [it, that] he tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth, and went up to the house of the Lord.
Mfumu Hezekiya atamva zimenezi, anangʼamba zovala zake navala chiguduli ndipo analowa mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
2 And he sent Heliakim the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and the elders of the priests clothed with sackcloth, to Esaias the son of Amos, the prophet. And they said to him, Thus says Ezekias,
Iye anatuma Eliyakimu woyangʼanira nyumba ya mfumu, Sebina mlembi wa bwalo, ndi ansembe akuluakulu, onse atavala ziguduli, kwa mneneri Yesaya mwana wa Amozi.
3 To-day is a day of affliction, and reproach, and rebuke, and anger: for the pangs are come upon the travailing [woman], but she has not strength to bring forth.
Iwo anamuwuza kuti, “Hezekiya akunena kuti, ‘Lero ndi tsiku lamavuto, lachilango ndi lamanyazi. Ife lero tili ngati mayi woyembekezera amene pofika nthawi yoti achire akupezeka kuti alibe mphamvu zoberekera.’
4 May the Lord your God hear the words of Rabsaces, which the king of the Assyrians has sent, to reproach the living God, even to reproach with the words which the Lord your God has heard: therefore you shall pray to your Lord for these that are left.
Mwina Yehova Mulungu wanu adzamva mawu onse a kazembe amene mbuye wake, mfumu ya ku Asiriya anamutuma kudzanyoza Mulungu wamoyo, ndipo Mulunguyo adzamulanga chifukwa cha mawu amene Yehova Mulungu wanu wamva. Choncho pemphererani anthu otsala amene akanali ndi moyo.”
5 So the servants of king Ezekias came to Esaias.
Akuluakulu a mfumu Hezekiya atafika kwa Yesaya,
6 And Esaias said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says the Lord, Be not you afraid at the words which you have heard, wherewith the ambassadors of the king of the Assyrians have reproached me,
Yesaya anawawuza kuti, “Kawuzeni mbuye wanu kuti ‘Yehova akunena kuti: Usachite mantha ndi zimene wamva, mawu amene nthumwi za mfumu ya ku Asiriya zandinyoza nawo Ine.
7 Behold, I [will] send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and return to his own country, and he shall fall by the sword in his own land.
Tamverani! Ine ndidzayika mwa mfumuyo mzimu wina kotero kuti akadzamva mphekesera ya nkhondo, adzabwerera ku dziko lake, ndipo Ine ndidzachititsa kuti aphedwe ndi lupanga kwawo komweko.’”
8 So Rabsaces returned, and found the king of the Assyrians besieging Lobna: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachis.
Kazembe wa ankhondo uja atamva kuti mfumu ya ku Asiriya yachoka ku Lakisi, iye anabwerera mʼmbuyo ndipo anakapeza mfumu ikuchita nkhondo ndi mzinda wa Libina.
9 And Tharaca king of the Ethiopians went forth to attack him. And when he heard it, he turned aside, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying,
Nthawi imeneyi Senakeribu analandira uthenga wakuti Tirihaka, mfumu ya ku Kusi akubwera kudzachita naye nkhondo. Atamva zimenezi, anatumiza amithenga kwa Hezekiya ndi mawu awa:
10 Thus shall you say to Ezekias king of Judea, Let not your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
“Kawuzeni Hezekiya mfumu ya ku Yuda kuti: Usalole kuti Mulungu amene ukumudalira akupusitse ponena kuti, ‘Yerusalemu sadzaperekedwa mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya ku Asiriya.’
11 Hast you not heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done, how they have destroyed the whole earth? and shall you be delivered?
Ndithudi iwe unamva zimene mafumu a ku Asiriya akhala akuchitira mayiko onse. Iwo anawawononga kotheratu. Tsono iwe ndiye ndi kupulumuka?
12 Have the gods of the nations which my fathers destroyed delivered them, both Gozan, and Charrhan, and Rapheth, which are in the land of Theemath?
Makolo anga anawononga mizinda ya Gozani, Harani, Rezefi ndi anthu a ku Edeni amene ankakhala ku Telasara. Kodi milungu inayi ija anawapulumutsa anthu a mizindayi?
13 Where are the kings of Emath? and where [is the king of] Arphath? and where [is the king] of the city of Eppharuaim, [and of] Anagugana?
Kodi mafumu a ku Hamati, Aripadi, Safaravaimu, Hena ndi Iva ali kuti?”
14 And Ezekias received the letter from the messengers, and read it, and went up to the house of the Lord, and opened it before the Lord.
Hezekiya analandira kalata kwa amithenga nayiwerenga pomwepo. Hezekiya anapita ku Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo anayika kalatayo pamaso pa Yehova.
15 And Ezekias prayed to the Lord, saying,
Ndipo Hezekiya anapemphera kwa Yehova:
16 O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, who sit upon the cherubs, you alone are the God of every kingdom of the world: you have made heaven and earth.
“Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, amene mumakhala pa mpando wanu waufumu pakati pa akerubi, Inu nokha ndiye Mulungu wolamulira maufumu onse a dziko lapansi. Munalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
17 Incline your ear, O Lord, listen, O Lord; open your eyes, O Lord, look, O Lord: and behold the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
Inu Yehova tcherani khutu ndipo mumve. Inu Yehova, tsekulani maso anu ndipo muone. Imvani mawu onse amene Senakeribu watumiza, kunyoza Mulungu wamoyo.
18 For of a truth, Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have laid waste the whole world, and the countries thereof,
“Yehova, nʼzoonadi kuti mafumu a Asiriya anawononga mitundu yonse ya anthu ndi mayiko awo.
19 and have cast their idols into the fire: for, they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have cast them away.
Iwo anaponyera pa moto milungu yawo ndi kuyiwononga pakuti sinali milungu koma mafano a mitengo ndi miyala, yopangidwa ndi manja a anthu.
20 But now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hands, that every kingdom of the earth may know that you are God alone.
Tsono Inu Yehova Mulungu wathu, tipulumutseni mʼdzanja lake kuti maufumu onse a dziko lapansi adziwe kuti Inu nokha, Inu Yehova, ndiye Mulungu.”
21 And Esaias the son of Amos was sent to Ezekias, and said to him, Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, I have heard your prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians.
Tsono Yesaya mwana wa Amozi anatumiza uthenga wochokera kwa Yehova kwa Hezekiya poyankha pemphero lake lokhudza Senakeribu mfumu ya ku Asiriya.
22 This is the word which God has spoken concerning him; The virgin daughter of Sion has despised you, and mocked you; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
Mawu amene Yehova wayankhula motsutsana naye ndi awa: “Mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni akukunyoza ndi kukuseka. Mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu, akupukusa mutu wake pamene iwe ukuthawa.
23 Whom have you reproached and provoked? and against whom have you lifted up your voice? and have you not lifted up your eyes on high against the Holy One of Israel?
Kodi iwe wanyoza ndi kulalatira ndani? Kodi iwe wafuwulira ndi kumuyangʼana monyada ndani? Watsutsana ndi Woyerayo wa Israeli!
24 For you have reproached the Lord by messengers; for you have said, With the multitude of chariots have I ascended to the height of mountains, and to the sides of Libanus; and I have cropped the height of his cedars and the beauty of his cypresses; and I entered into the height of the forest region:
Kudzera mwa amithenga ako iwe wanyoza Ambuye. Ndipo wanena kuti, ‘Ndi magaleta anga ochuluka ndafika pamwamba pa mapiri, pamwamba penipeni pa mapiri a Lebanoni. Ndagwetsa mitengo yamkungudza yayitali kwambiri, ndi mitengo yabwino kwambiri ya payini. Ndafika pa msonga pake penipeni, nkhalango yake yowirira kwambiri.
25 and I have made a bridge, and dried up the waters, and every pool of water.
Ndakumba zitsime ku mayiko achilendo ndi kumva madzi akumeneko ndi mapazi anga ndawumitsa mitsinje yonse ya ku Igupto.’
26 Hast you not heard of these things which I did of old? I appointed [them] from ancient times; but now have I manifested [my purpose] of desolating nations in [their] strong holds, and them that dwell in strong cities.
“Kodi sunamvepo kuti zimenezi ndinazikonzeratu kalekale? Ndinazikonzeratu masiku amakedzana; tsopano ndazichitadi, kuti iwe kwako nʼkusandutsa mizinda yotetezedwa kukhala milu ya miyala.
27 I weakened [their] hands, and they withered; and they became as dry grass on the housetops, and as grass.
Anthu amene ankakhala kumeneko analibenso mphamvu, ankada nkhawa ndi kuchititsidwa manyazi. Anali ngati mbewu za mʼmunda, ngati udzu wanthete, ali ngati udzu omera pa denga, umene mphepo imawumitsa usanakule nʼkomwe.
28 But now I know your rest, and your going out, and your coming in.
“Koma Ine ndimadziwa zonse za iwe; ndimadziwa pamene ukuyima ndi pamene ukukhala; ndimadziwa pamene ukutuluka ndi pamene ukulowa, ndiponso momwe umandikwiyira Ine.
29 And your wrath wherewith you have been enraged, and your rancour has come up to me; therefore I will put a hook in your nose, and a bit in your lips, and will turn you back by the way by which you came.
Chifukwa umandikwiyira Ine ndi kuti mwano wako wamveka mʼmakutu anga, ndidzakola mphuno yako ndi mbedza ndikuyika chitsulo mʼkamwa mwako, ndipo ndidzakubweza pokuyendetsa njira yomwe unadzera pobwera.
30 And this shall be a sign to you, Eat this year what you have sown; and the second year that which is left: and the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
“Iwe Hezekiya, chizindikiro chako cha zimene zidzachitike ndi ichi: “Chaka chino mudzadya zimene zamera zokha, ndipo chaka chachiwiri zimene zaphukira pa zomera zokha, koma chaka chachitatu mudzafesa ndi kukolola, mudzawoka mitengo yamphesa ndi kudya zipatso zake.
31 And they that are left in Judea shall take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
Anthu a nyumba ya Yuda amene adzatsalire adzazika mizu yawo pansi ndipo adzabereka zipatso poyera.
32 for out of Jerusalem there shall be a remnant, and the saved ones out of mount Sion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall perform this.
Pakuti ku Yerusalemu kudzachokera anthu otsala, ndi ku phiri la Ziyoni gulu la anthu opulumuka. Changu cha Yehova Wamphamvuzonse chidzachita zimenezi.
33 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, nor cast a weapon against it, nor bring a shield against it, nor make a rampart round it.
“Choncho Yehova akunena izi za mfumu ya ku Asiriya: “Iye sadzalowa mu mzinda umenewu kapena kuponyamo muvi uliwonse. Sadzafika pafupi ndi mzindawu ndi ankhondo ake a zishango kapena kuwuzinga ndi mitumbira yankhondo.
34 But by the way by which he came, by it shall he return, and shall not enter into this city: thus says the Lord.
Adzabwerera potsata njira yomwe anadzera pobwera; sadzalowa mu mzinda umenewu,” akutero Yehova.
35 I will protect this city to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
“Ine ndidzawuteteza ndi kuwupulumutsa mzindawu, chifukwa cha Ine mwini ndiponso chifukwa cha pangano ndi mtumiki wanga Davide!”
36 And the angel of the Lord went forth, and killed out of the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they arose in the morning and found all [these] bodies dead.
Tsopano mngelo wa Yehova anapita ku misasa ya nkhondo ya ku Asiriya ndikukapha asilikali 185,000. Podzuka mmawa mwake anthu anangoona mitembo ponseponse!
37 And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians turned and departed, and lived in Nineve.
Choncho Senakeribu mfumu ya ku Asiriya anasasula misasa nʼkuchoka kubwerera kukakhala ku Ninive.
38 And while he was worshipping Nasarach his country's god in the house, Adramelech and Sarasar his sons struck him with swords; and they escaped into Armenia: and Asordan his son reigned in his stead.
Tsiku lina, pamene ankapembedza mʼnyumba ya mulungu wake, Nisiroki, ana ake awiri, Adirameleki ndi Sarezeri anamupha ndi lupanga, ndipo anathawira mʼdziko la Ararati. Ndipo mwana wake Esrahadoni analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake.
