Isaiah 36
1 And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, that Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against all the fenced cities of Juda, 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 the Assyrians sent Rabsaces from Lachis to Jerusalem, to king Ezechias with a great army, and he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the way of the fuller’s held.
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 And there went out to him Eliacim the son of Helcias, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.
Eliyakim ɗan Hilkiya sarkin fada, Shebna magatakarda, da Yowa ɗan Asaf marubuci suka fita zuwa wurinsa.
4 And Rabsaces said to them: Tell Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence 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 Or with what counsel or strength dost thou prepare for war? on whom dost thou trust, that thou art revolted from 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 Lo thou trustest upon this broken staff of a reed, upon Egypt: upon which if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharao king or Egypt to all that trust in 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 wilt answer me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away, and hath said to Juda and Jerusalem: You 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 And now deliver thyself up to my lord the king of the Assyrians, and I will give thee two thousand horses, and thou wilt not be able on thy part to find riders for 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 And how wilt thou stand against the face of the judge of one place, of the least of my master’s servants? But if thou trust in Egypt, in chariots and in 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 the Lord against this land to destroy it? The Lord said to 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 And Eliacim, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: Speak to thy servants in the Syrian tongue: for we understand it: speak not to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people, that are upon 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 And Rabsaces said to them: Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee, to speak all these words; and not rather to the men that sit on the wall; that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine 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 Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
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 Ezechias deceive you, for he shall 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 And let not Ezechias make you trust in the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
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 Do not hearken to Ezechias: for thus said the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, 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 water of his 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 Till I come and take you away to a land, like to your own, a land of corn and of 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 Neither let Ezechias trouble you, saying: The Lord will deliver us. Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land out of the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
“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 is the god of Emath and of Arphad? where is the god of Sepharvaim? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Ina allolin Hamat da na Arfad? Ina allolin Sefarfayim? Sun fanshi Samariya daga hannuna?
20 Who is there among all the gods of these lands, that hath delivered his country out of my hand, that the Lord may 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 And they held their peace, and answered him not a word. For the king had commanded, 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 And Eliacim the son of Helcias, that was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder, went in to Ezechias with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rabsaces.
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.
