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 Yhwh.
Awo kabaka Keezeekiya bwe yabiwulira n’ayuza engoye ze n’ayambala ebibukutu n’ayingira mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
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.
N’atuma Eriyakimu eyali akulira olubiri ne Sebuna omuwandiisi ne bakabona abakulu, nga bambadde ebibukutu, eri nnabbi Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi.
3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Keezeekiya atutumye okukugamba nti, Olunaku luno lunaku lwa kulabiramu nnaku era lwa kuvumirwamu era lwa kujoogebwa; kubanga abaana batuuse okuzaalibwa naye nga tewali maanyi ga kubazaala.
4 It may be Yhwh thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which Yhwh thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
Oboolyawo Mukama Katonda wo anaawulira ebigambo bya Labusake eyatumibwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli mukama we okuvuma Katonda omulamu, Mukama Katonda wo n’amunenya olw’ebigambo by’awulidde: Kale waayo okusaba kwo wegayiririre ekitundu ekikyasigaddewo.”
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Abaddu ba kabaka Keezeekiya bwe bajja eri Isaaya,
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith Yhwh, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Isaaya n’abagamba nti, “Mutegeeze mukama wammwe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Ebigambo by’owulidde abaddu ba kabaka w’e Bwasuli bye banvumye, tebikutiisa.
7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Laba ndimusindikira omwoyo omubi, awulire olugambo addeyo mu nsi ye. Era eyo gye ndimuzikiririza afe ekitala.’”
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Awo Labusake omuduumizi wa Bwasuli bwe yaddayo, n’asanga kabaka w’e ng’alwana ne Libuna: kubanga yawulira nti avudde e Lakisi.
9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Ate era kabaka Sennakeribu n’afuna obubaka nti Tiraaka kabaka w’e Kuusi azze okumulwanyisa. Bwe yakiwulira n’asindika ababaka eri Keezeekiya n’obubaka buno nti,
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
“Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda mumugambe nti, Katonda wo gwe weesiga takulimbanga ng’ayogera nti, ‘Yerusaalemi tekirigabulwa mu mukono gwa kabaka w’e Bwasuli.’
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Laba wawulira bakabaka b’e Bwasuli kye baakola amawanga gonna, ne bagazikiririza ddala. Mwe munaawona?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?
Amawanga bakitange ge baasaanyaawo, Gozani, ne Kalani, ne Lezefu n’abantu ba Adeni abaabanga mu Terasali, bakatonda baago, baabayamba?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
Ali ludda wa kabaka w’e Kamasi ne kabaka w’e Alupadi ne kabaka w’ekibuga Sefarayimu oba ow’e Keena, oba ow’e Yiva?”
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Yhwh, and spread it before Yhwh.
Keezeekiya n’aggya ebbaluwa mu mukono gw’ababaka n’agisoma: Keezeekiya n’ayambuka mu nnyumba ya Mukama n’agyanjuluza mu maaso ga Mukama.
15 And Hezekiah prayed unto Yhwh, saying,
N’asaba ne yeegayirira Mukama nga agamba nti,
16 O Yhwh of Armies, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
“Ayi Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri, atuula wakati mu bakerubbi, ggwe Katonda wekka afuga obwakabaka bwonna obw’omu nsi, ggwe wakola eggulu n’ensi.
17 Incline thine ear, O Yhwh, and hear; open thine eyes, O Yhwh, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
Otege okutu kwo Ayi Mukama owulire, ozibule amaaso go, Ayi Mukama, olabe: owulire ebigambo byonna ebya Sennakeribu by’aweerezza okuvuma Katonda omulamu.
18 Of a truth, Yhwh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
“Mazima ddala Mukama, bakabaka b’e Bwasuli baazisa amawanga gonna n’ensi zaago,
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.
ne basuula bakatonda baabwe mu muliro: kubanga tebaali bakatonda, naye mulimu gwa ngalo z’abantu, miti na mayinja; kyebaava babazikiriza.
20 Now therefore, O Yhwh our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Yhwh, even thou only.
Kale nno, ayi Mukama Katonda waffe, tulokole mu mukono gwa Sennakeribu, obwakabaka bwonna obw’ensi butegeere nga ggwe wekka ggwe Mukama.”
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
Awo Isaaya mutabani wa Amozi n’atumira Keezeekiya ng’ayogera nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Kubanga onneegayiridde ku bya Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli,
22 This is the word which Yhwh hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
kino kye kigambo kye mmwogeddeko: “‘Omuwala wa Sayuuni embeerera akunyooma era akusekerera. Omuwala wa Yerusaalemi akunyeenyeza omutwe gwe nga bw’odduka.
23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Ani gw’ovumye gw’ovodde? Era ani gw’oyimuyisirizzaako eddoboozi lyo n’okanulira n’amaaso? Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri!
24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
Okozesezza abaddu bo okuvuma Mukama n’oyogera nti, Nyambuse n’amagaali gange amangi ku ntikko y’olusozi, ntuuse ku njuyi ez’omunda eza Lebanooni; era ntemedde ddala emivule gyakwo emiwanvu, n’enfugo zaakwo ezisinga obulungi, era natuuka ne ku lusozi lwakwo olukomererayo, ekibira kyayo ekisinga obunene.
25 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
Waduula nti wasima enzizi era n’onywa n’amazzi mu mawanga era nti ebigere by’abajaasi bo byakaliza amazzi g’omugga Kiyira mu Misiri.’
26 Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.
“Tewawulira nga nakisalawo dda? Nakiteekateeka dda. Mu biro eby’edda nakiteekateeka; era kaakano nkituukirizza, olyoke ofuule ebibuga ebiriko bbugwe okuba ng’entuumo y’amayinja.
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 grain blasted before it be grown up.
Abantu baamu kyebaavanga baggwaamu amaanyi, ne baterebuka ne bakeŋŋentererwa ne baba ng’essubi mu nnimiro, ng’omuddo omuto, ng’omuddo ogumera ku nnyumba ogwokebwa ne gufa nga tegunnakula.
28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
“Naye mmanyi obutuuliro bwo era mmanyi okufuluma kwo n’okuyingira kwo n’obuswandi bw’ondaga.
29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, 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.
Kubanga oneereegeddeko, okwepanka kw’okoze nkutuuseeko. Era kaakano ntuuse okuteeka eddobo mu nnyindo zo, n’oluuma ndufumite mu mimwa gyo, nkuzzeeyo ng’opaala mu kkubo lye wajjiramu.”
30 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and 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.
Awo Isaaya n’agamba Keezeekiya nti, “Kano ke kabonero akanaakuweebwa: Omwaka guno mugenda kulya eŋŋaano eyeemeza yokka. Eno gye muliryako n’omwaka ogwokubiri. Mu mwaka ogwokusatu mulirya ku birime byammwe bye musize era ne mukungula mu nnimiro zammwe ez’emizabbibu.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
Abantu ba Yuda abalifikkawo baliba ng’ebisimbe emirandira gyabyo nga gikka wansi ate nga bigimuka ne bibala.
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of Yhwh of Armies shall do this.
Mu Yerusaalemi walibaawo abalisigalawo ne ku Lusozi Sayuuni walibeerawo abaliwona, kubanga Mukama Ayinzabyonna mu bumalirivu bwe, yeewaddeyo okukikola.
33 Therefore thus saith Yhwh concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
“Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ku bikwata ku Kabaka w’e Bwasuli nti, “Kabaka oyo taliyingira mu kibuga kino wadde okulasayo akasaale. Talikisemberera n’engabo newaakubadde okutuumako ekifunvu ng’akitaayiza.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Yhwh.
Ekkubo lye yajjiramu lye limu ly’anaakwata okuddayo. Tajja kuyingira mu kibuga kino,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
“Ndirwanirira ekibuga kino nkirokole.”
36 Then the angel of Yhwh went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Awo malayika wa Mukama n’afuluma n’atta mu lusiisira olw’Abasuli abantu emitwalo kkumi na munaana mu enkumi ttaano. Abaasigalawo bagenda okuzuukuka enkya nga wonna wajjudde mirambo.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Awo Sennakeribu kabaka w’e Bwasuli n’avaayo n’addayo n’abeera e Nineeve.
38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar–haddon his son reigned in his stead.
Lumu bwe yali ng’asinziza mu ssabo lya Nisuloki katonda we, Adulammereki, ne Salezeri batabani be ne bamusalira olukwe ne bamutta: ne baddukira mu nsi ya Alalati. Esaludooni mutabani we n’amusikira.
