< Isaiah 37 >

1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
Ke na pacl se Tokosra Hezekiah el lohng ma elos fahk nu sel, el asor ac seya nuknuk lal, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac som nu in Tempul lun LEUM GOD.
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
El supwalla Eliakim, mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim lun inkul fulat; ac mwet matu inmasrlon mwet tol nu yorol mwet palu Isaiah wen natul Amoz. Elos wi pac nukum nuknuk yohk eoa.
3 And they said unto him: 'Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Pa inge kas ma el sap elos in tuh fahk nu sel Isaiah: “Misenge sie len in keok. Kalyeiyuk ac akmwekinyeyuk kut. Kut oana sie mutan su akola in isus tuh arulana munas in oswela.
4 It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to taunt the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard; wherefore make prayer for the remnant that is left.'
Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el supwama sie mwet kol fulat lal in tuh fahk kas in akkolukye God moul. Lela LEUM GOD lom in lohng kas in akkoluk inge, ac kaelos su fahk kas inge. Ke ma inge, pre nu sin God ke mwet lasr su painmoulla.”
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Ke Isaiah el eis kas sel Tokosra Hezekiah inge,
6 And Isaiah said unto them: 'Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith the LORD: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
el folokunulosla ke top se inge: “Fahkang nu sel tokosra lah LEUM GOD El fahk mu elan tia lela mwet Assyria in aksangengyal ke kas in akkoluk ma elos fahk.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return unto his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.'
LEUM GOD El ac oru Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria elan lohngak sie sramsram ma ac oru elan folokla nu in facl sel sifacna, na LEUM GOD El ac oru elan anwuki we.”
8 So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Mwet kol fulat lun Assyria el lohngak lah Tokosra Fulat el som liki acn Lachish ac mweuni siti Libnah, su oan apkuran nu Lachish. Ouinge el som nu we in lolngok yorol.
9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia: 'He is come out to fight against thee.' And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
Kas se sun mwet Assyria lah un mwet mweun lun Egypt, ye kolyuk lun Tokosra Tirhakah lun Ethiopia, ac tuku in mweunelos. Ke Tokosra Fulat sac lohngak ma inge el supwala leta se nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah
10 'Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God in whom thou trustest beguile thee, saying: Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
lun Judah in tuh fahk nu sel, “God se ma kom lulalfongi kac el fahk nu sum mu kom ac tia sruhu sik, tusruktu nimet kom lela kas ingan in kiapwekomla.
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Kom lohng tari ma kutena tokosra fulat lun Assyria elos oru nu sin mutunfacl se elos sulela in kunausla. Ya kom nunku mu kom ku in kaingla?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Telassar?
Mwet matu luk somla elos kunausla siti lun Gozan, Haran, ac Rezeph, ac onela pac mwet Betheden su muta Telassar, a wangin god lalos tuh ku in molelosla.
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?'
Pia tokosra lun siti Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, ac Ivvah?”
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
Tokosra Hezekiah el eisla leta sac sin mwet se ma use ah, ac riti. Na el som nu in Tempul, ac filiya leta sac ye mutun LEUM GOD,
15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying:
ac pre,
16 'O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, Thou art the God, even Thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; Thou hast made heaven and earth.
“O LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, su muta lucng liki cherub luo, kom mukena pa God su leumi tokosrai nukewa fin faclu. Kom orala kusrao ac faclu.
17 Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open Thine eyes, O LORD, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to taunt the living God.
Inge, LEUM GOD, lohng kut ac liye ma sikyak nu sesr. Porongo ma nukewa ma Sennacherib el fahk in akkolukye kom, God moul.
18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,
O LEUM GOD, kut nukewa etu lah tokosra fulat lun acn Assyria elos tuh kunausla mutunfacl puspis, sukela acn selos,
19 and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.
ac esukak god lalos — su tia god pwaye, a ma sruloala ma poun mwet taflela ke eot ac sak.
20 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD, even Thou only.'
Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD lasr, molikutla liki poun mwet Assyria, tuh mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu fah etu lah kom mukena pa God.”
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
Na Isaiah el supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah in fahk lah lohngyuk pre lal kacl Sennacherib, tokosra lun Assyria,
22 this is the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
ac LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge, “Siti Jerusalem isrun kom, Sennacherib, ac orek tafunkas keim.
23 Whom hast thou taunted and blasphemed? And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice? Yea, thou hast lifted up thine eyes on high, even against the Holy One of Israel!
Su kom nunku mu kom kaskou nu se, ku akkolukye uh? Kom arulana akpusiselyeyu, God Mutal lun Israel!
24 By thy servants hast thou taunted the Lord, and hast said: With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I have cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice cypress-trees thereof; and I have entered into his farthest height, the forest of his fruitful field.
Kom supwama mwet tafweyom in tungak nu sik mu chariot puspis nutum oru kom fanukya fineol ma fulat liki nukewa in acn Lebanon. Kom konkin pac mu kom pakiya sak cedar ma fulat emeet ac sak cypress ma wo emeet we, ac kom som loallana nu insak uh.
25 I have digged and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of Egypt.
Kom konkin pac mu kom pukanak lufin kof in acn sin mwetsac ac nim kof kac, oayapa falken mwet mweun lom lolongya Infacl Nile pulamlamla.
26 Hast thou not heard? Long ago I made it, in ancient times I fashioned it; now have I brought it to pass, yea, it is done; that fortified cities should be laid waste into ruinous heaps.
“Ya kom soenna lohng lah nga nuna akoo ma inge ke pacl loeloes somla? Ac inge nga orala tari. Nga pa sot nu sum ku in ekulla siti potyak nu ke yol in kutkut.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field of corn before it is grown up.
Mwet ma muta in acn ingo wangin ma elos ku in oru; elos sangeng ac fohsak. Elos oana mah inimae, ku mah ma kapak fin lohm uh ke pacl eng fol kutulap me tuhyak ac okla.
28 But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against Me.
“Tusruktu nga etu ma nukewa keim, ma kom oru ac yen kom ac som nu we. Nga etu lupan mongsa lom lainyu.
29 Because of thy raging against Me, and for that thine uproar is come up into Mine ears, therefore will I put My hook in thy nose, and My bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Nga lohng tari pungen kasrkusrak lom ac inse fulat lom, ac inge nga ac sang sie ring srumasrla infwem ac soko osra nu inwalum, ac amakin kom folokla ke innek soko na kom tuku kac.”
30 And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
Na Isaiah el fahk nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah, “Pa inge sie akul ke ma ac fah sikyak. Yac se inge ac yac fahsru uh kom ac fah mongo wheat inima mukena, tusruktu ke yac se toko an kom ac fah ku in yukwiya wheat sunom ac kosrani pac kac, ac yukwiya oa in grape ac mongo grape kac.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
Elos su painmoulla in acn Judah elos ac kapak oana sak ma okah kac kapla loal nu infohk uh ac rukruk fahko.
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape; the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall perform this.
Ac fah oasr mwet in Jerusalem ac fin Eol Zion su ac fah painmoulla, mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El wotela tari sel mu ac ouinge.
33 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.
“Ac pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria: ‘El ac fah tia utyak nu in siti se inge ku pisrikya sokofanna osra in pisr natul nu kac. Wangin mwet mweun su us mwe loeyuk ac fah tuku apkuran nu ke siti uh, oayapa ac fah wangin ma ac etoatyak elos in fanyak kac nu in siti uh.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith the LORD.
El ac fah folokla ke inkanek soko na el tuku kac, ac tia utyak nu in siti se inge. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
35 For I will defend this city to save it, for Mine own sake, and for My servant David's sake.'
Nga fah loango siti se inge ac liyaung ke sripen Inek sifacna, ac ke sripen wuleang su nga tuh orala nu sel David, mwet kulansap luk.’”
36 And the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand; and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD som nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet mweun Assyria ac onela mwet mweun tausin siofok oalngoul limekosr. Toangna in len tok ah elos nukewa alapelik misa!
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went, and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Na Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el tila mweun a el folokla nu Nineveh, yen sel.
38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sarezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
Sie len ah ke el alu in tempul lun Nisroch, god lal, luo sin wen natul ah, Adrammelech ac Sharezer, unilya ke cutlass natultal, ac kaingla nu in facl Ararat. Esarhaddon, sie pac sin wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra fulat.
