< 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.
Hisqiyaas mootichi yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti, uffata isaa tarsaasee wayyaa gaddaas uffatee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seene.
2 And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Innis Eliiyaaqiim bulchaa masaraa mootummaa, Shebnaa barreessaa fi luboota dura buʼoota hundi isaanii wayyaa gaddaa uffatan Isaayyaas raajicha ilma Amoos sanatti erge.
3 And they said to 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.
Isaanis akkana jedhanii isatti himan; “Hisqiyaas akkana jedha: Guyyaan kun akkuma yeroo daaʼimni tokko dhalachuu gaʼee garuu dubartiin humna ittiin ciniinsifattee deessu dhabduutti guyyaa lubbamuu, kan dheekkamsaatii fi kan salphinaa ti.
4 It may be the LORD 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 the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dubbii ajajaa waraanaa kan gooftaan isaa mootichi Asoor akka inni Waaqa jiraataatti qoosuuf erge sanaa dhagaʼee dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dhagaʼe sanaaf jedhee isatti dheekkama taʼa. Kanaafuu ati hambaawwan hamma ammaatti jiraniif kadhadhu.”
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Yommuu qondaaltonni Hisqiyaas Mootichaa gara Isaayyaas dhufanitti,
6 And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Isaayyaas akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Akkana jedhaa gooftaa keessanitti himaa; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ati waan dhageesse jechuunis dubbii garboonni mootii Asoor ittiin na arrabsan sana hin sodaatin.
7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Dhaggeeffadhaa! Ani akka inni oduu wayii dhagaʼee gara biyya ofii isaatti deebiʼuuf hafuura tokko isa keessa nan kaaʼa; achittis akka inni goraadeedhaan ajjeefamu nan godha.’”
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
Ajajaan waraanaas yommuu akka mootiin Asoor Laakkiishii baʼee deeme dhagaʼetti, duubatti deebiʼee utuu mootichi Libnaa lolaa jiruu argate.
9 And he heard it said concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Senaaheriibis akka Tiirhaaq mootichi Itoophiyaa sun isa loluuf dhufaa jiru dhagaʼe. Innis yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti, akkana jedhee Hisqiyaasitti ergamoota erge:
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.
“Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatiin akkana jedhaa: Waaqni ati abdattu sun, ‘Yerusaalem dabarfamtee harka mootii Asooritti hin kennamtu’ jedhee si hin gowwoomsin.
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Ati waan mootonni Asoor guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessuudhaan biyyoota hunda godhan dhageesseerta. Ati immoo ni haftaa ree?
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 who [were] in Telassar?
Waaqonni saboota abbootiin koo barbadeessan sanaa jechuunis waaqonni Goozaan, waaqonni Kaaraan, waaqonni Rezefii fi waaqonni namoota Eden kanneen Telaasaar keessa turan sanaa isaan oolchaniiruu?
13 Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
Mootiin Hamaati yookaan mootiin Arfaad eessa jira? Mootiin magaalaa Seefarwaayim, mootiin Heenaa yookaan mootiin Iwaa eessa jira?”
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
Hisqiyaasis ergamoota sana harkaa xalayaa fuudhee dubbifate. Ergasiis gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼee xalayaa sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti diriirse.
15 And Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
Hisqiyaas akkana jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate:
16 O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the cherubim, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
“Yaa Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, Waaqa Israaʼel, kan Kiirubeel gidduu teessoo irra jirtu, si qofatu mootummoota lafaa hunda irratti Waaqa. Ati samii fi lafa uumteerta.
17 Incline thy ear, O LORD, and hear; open thy eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.
Yaa Waaqayyo, gurra kee as qabiitii dhagaʼi; yaa Waaqayyo, ija kees banadhuu ilaali; dubbii Senaaheriib kan inni Waaqa jiraataa arrabsuuf erge kana hunda dhaggeeffadhu.
18 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
“Yaa Waaqayyo, mootonni Asoor uummata kana hundaa fi biyyoota isaanii balleessuun dhugaa dha.
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.
Isaan waaqota jaraa ibiddatti naqanii barbadeessaniiru; waaqonni sun mukaa fi dhagaa harka namaatiin soofaman turan malee waaqota hin turreetii.
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.
Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya, akka mootummoonni lafaa hundinuu akka ati qofti Waaqayyo Waaqa taate beekaniif, harka isaatii nu baasi.”
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
Sana booddee Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos akkana jedhee Hisqiyaasitti ergaa erge; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Sababii ati waaʼee Senaaheriib mooticha Asoor na kadhatteef,
22 This [is] the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, [and] derided thee; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
dubbiin Waaqayyo isaan mormuudhaan dubbate kunoo kanaa dha: “Intalli Xiyoon durbi qulqullittiin si tuffattee sitti qoosti. Intalli Yerusaalem yeroo ati baqattutti mataa ishee sitti raafti.
23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed; and against whom hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted thy eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Israel.
Kan ati itti qoostee arrabsite sun eenyu? Ati eenyutti sagalee kee ol fudhattee of tuulummaadhaan ija ol qabatte? Qulqullichuma Israaʼel sanatti mitii!
24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the LORD, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots have I come up to the hight of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, [and] its choice fir-trees: and I will enter into the hight of its border, [and] the forest of its Carmel.
Ati karaa ergamoota keetiitiin, Gooftaatti qoosteerta. Ati akkanas jetteerta; ‘Ani gaariiwwan koo hedduudhaan fiixee tulluuwwaniitti, fiixee Libaanoon kan akka malee ol dheeratuttis ol baʼeera. Ani birbirsawwan isaa akka malee dhedheeroo, gaattiraawwan isaa filatamoo sanas ciccireera. Ani fiixeewwan isaa kanneen akka malee ol fagoo, bosonoota akka malee mimmiidhagoo qaqqabeera.
25 I have digged, and drank water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
Ani biyya ormaatti boolla bishaanii qotadhee achitti bishaan dhugeera. Ani faana miilla kootiin lageen Gibxi hunda gogseera.’
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 shouldst be to lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
“Ati waan kana hin dhageenyee? Bara dheeraan dura anatu waan kana hojjete. Ani bara durii keessa waan kana nan karoorfadhe; amma immoo hojii irra oolfadheera; kunis akka ati magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qaban diigdee tuullaa dhagaa gootuu dha.
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 house-tops, and [as corn] blasted before it is grown up.
Namoonni isaanii humna dhabanii abdii kutataniis qaanaʼan. Isaan akkuma biqiltuu diidaa, akkuma biqiltuu kichuu tokkoo, akkuma marga mana gubbaatti biqilu kan utuu hin guddatin gubatee ti.
28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
“Ani garuu lafa ati jirtu, yoom akka dhuftuu fi yoom akka deemtu, akka ati akka malee natti aartu illee nan beeka.
29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore I will 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.
Sababii ati akka malee natti aartee of tuulummaan kees gurra koo seeneef, ani funyaan keetti hokkoo koo, afaan keetti immoo luugama koo kaaʼee akka ati karuma dhufte sanaan deebitu sin godha.
30 And this [shall be] a sign to 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 of them.
“Yaa Hisqiyaas kun mallattoo siif taʼa: “Isin waggaa kana waan ofumaan biqilu, waggaa lammaffaatti immoo waanuma isa irraa latu nyaattu. Waggaa sadaffaatti garuu facaafadhaa galfadhaa; muka wayiniis dhaabbadhaatii ija isaa nyaadhaa.
31 And the remnant that hath escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
Ammas hambaan mootummaa Yihuudaa tokko, jalaan hidda baafatee gubbaan immoo ija naqata.
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape from mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
Yerusaalem keessaa hambaan tokko, Tulluu Xiyooniitii immoo gareen warra badiisa jalaa baʼe tokkoo ni dhufa. Hinaaffaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu waan kana ni raawwata.
33 Therefore thus saith the LORD 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 mound against it.
“Kanaafuu Waaqayyo waaʼee mooticha Asoor akkana jedha: “Inni magaalaa kana hin seenu, yookaan xiyya tokko illee asitti hin darbatu. Inni gaachana qabatee fuula isaa duratti hin dhiʼaatu yookaan tuullaa biyyoo itti hin marsu.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
Inni karuma dhufe sanaan ni deebiʼa; magaalaa kanas hin seenu” jedha Waaqayyo.
35 For I will defend this city, to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
“Anis sababii ofii kootii fi sababii garbicha koo Daawitiif jedhee magaalaa kana nan eega; nan oolchas!”
36 Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
Ergasii ergamaan Waaqayyoo gad baʼee qubata warra Asoor keessatti nama kuma dhibba tokkoo fi saddeettamii shan fixe. Yommuu namoonni guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariin kaʼanitti kunoo reeffi namaa lafa guutee ture.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Kanaafuu Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor qubata sana keessaa baʼee baqate; Nanawweetti deebiʼees achi jiraate.
38 And it came to pass, as he was worshiping 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.
Gaaf tokko utuu inni mana sagadaa Waaqa isaa Nisrook jedhamuu keessatti waaqeffachaa jiruu ilmaan isaa Adramelekii fi Sharezer goraadeedhaan isa ajjeesanii gara biyya Araaraatitti baqatan. Ilmi isaa Eesarhadoonis iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
