< Isaiah 37 >
1 And it cometh to pass, at the king Hezekiah's hearing, that he rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth, and entereth the house of Jehovah,
Nígbà tí ọba Hesekiah gbọ́ èyí, ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ bo ara rẹ̀, ó sì wọ inú tẹmpili Olúwa lọ.
2 and sendeth Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, unto Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet,
Òun sì rán Eliakimu alákòóso ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé, àti aṣíwájú àwọn àlùfáà, gbogbo wọn nínú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi.
3 and they say unto him, 'Thus said Hezekiah, A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for come have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bear.
Wọ́n sọ fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Hesekiah wí, ọjọ́ òní jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìbànújẹ́, ìbáwí àti ẹ̀gàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà ìbí àwọn ọmọdé tí kò sì ṣí agbára láti bí wọn.
4 'It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear the words of Rabshakeh with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.'
Ó lè jẹ́ pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọ̀gágun ẹni tí ọ̀gá rẹ̀ ọba Asiria ti rán láti fi Ọlọ́run alààyè ṣe ẹlẹ́yà, àti pé òun ni yóò bá a wí nítorí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti gbọ́. Nítorí náà gbàdúrà fún àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù tí wọ́n sì wà láààyè.”
5 And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah,
Nígbà tí àwọn ìjòyè ọba Hesekiah dé ọ̀dọ̀ Isaiah,
6 and Isaiah saith unto them, 'Thus do ye say unto your lord, Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
Isaiah sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ sọ fún ọ̀gá yín pé, ‘Ohun tí Olúwa sọ nìyìí. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù ohun tí ẹ ti gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ọba Asiria tí ó wà nínú ìdè ti fi sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi.
7 Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a report, and hath turned back unto his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.'

8 And Rabshakeh turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath journeyed from Lachish.
Nígbà tí ọ̀gágun gbọ́ pé ọba Asiria ti fi Lakiṣi sílẹ̀, ó padà sẹ́yìn, ó sì bá ọba tí ń bá Libina jà.
9 And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, 'He hath come out to fight with thee;' and he heareth, and sendeth messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,
Ní àkókò yìí Sennakeribu gbọ́ ìròyìn kan pé Tirakah ará Kuṣi ọba Ejibiti ń jáde bọ̀ wá bá òun jà. Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ èyí, ó rán oníṣẹ́ sí Hesekiah pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí,
10 'Thus do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
“Ẹ sọ fún Hesekiah ọba Juda pé: Má ṣe jẹ́ kí òrìṣà tí ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tàn ọ́ jẹ nígbà tí ó sọ pé, ‘A kì yóò jọ̀wọ́ Jerusalẹmu fún ọba Asiria.’
11 Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands — to devote them — and thou art delivered!
Dájúdájú, ìwọ ti gbọ́ ohun tí ọba Asiria ti ṣe sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, tí ó pa wọ́n run pátápátá. Ǹjẹ́ a ó ha dá ọ nídè bí?

Níbo ni ọba Hamati wà, ọba Arpadi, ọba ìlú Sefarfaimi tàbí Hena tàbí Iffa?”
14 And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and readeth them, and Hezekiah goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah.
Hesekiah gba ìwé náà lọ́wọ́ àwọn oníṣẹ́ ó sì kà á. Lẹ́yìn náà ni ó gòkè lọ sí tẹmpili Olúwa ó sì tẹ́ ìwé náà sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
15 And Hezekiah prayeth unto Jehovah, saying,
Hesekiah sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa:
16 'Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou [art] God Himself — Thyself alone — to all kingdoms of the earth, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó gúnwà láàrín àwọn kérúbù, ìwọ nìkan ni Ọlọ́run lórí i gbogbo ìjọba orílẹ̀ ayé. Ìwọ ti dá ọ̀run àti ayé.
17 Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes and see; and hear Thou all the words of Sennacherib that he hath sent to reproach the living God.

18 'Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land,
“Òtítọ́ ni Olúwa pé àwọn ọba Asiria ti sọ àwọn ènìyàn àti ilẹ̀ wọn di asán.
19 so as to put their gods into fire — for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone — and they destroy them.

20 And now, Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth do know that Thou [art] Jehovah, Thyself alone.'

21 And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur —
Lẹ́yìn náà Isaiah ọmọ Amosi rán iṣẹ́ kan sí Hesekiah: “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ pé, nítorí pé ìwọ ti gbàdúrà sí mi nípa Sennakeribu ọba Asiria,
22 this [is] the word that Jehovah spake concerning him: Trampled on thee, laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion, Behind thee shaken the head hath the daughter of Jerusalem.
èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa ti sọ nípa rẹ̀: “Wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin Sioni ti kẹ́gàn rẹ, ó sì ti fi ọ ṣe ẹlẹ́yà. Ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu ti mi orí rẹ̀ bí ó ti ń sálọ.
23 Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up the voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes Against the Holy One of Israel.

24 By the hand of thy servants Thou hast reviled the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.

26 Hast thou not heard from afar? — it I did, From days of old — that I formed it. Now, I have brought it in, And it is to make desolate, Ruinous heaps — fenced cities,
“Ṣé o kò tí ì gbọ́? Tipẹ́tipẹ́ ni mo ti fìdí rẹ̀ mulẹ̀. Láti ìgbà pípẹ́ ni mo ti ṣètò rẹ̀; ní àkókò yìí ni mo mú wá sí ìmúṣẹ, pé o ti sọ àwọn ìlú olódi di àkójọpọ̀ àwọn òkúta.
27 And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up. They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn, before it hath risen up.

28 And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thy anger towards Me.
“Ṣùgbọ́n mo mọ ibi tí o wà àti ìgbà tí o wá tí o sì lọ àti bí inú rẹ ṣe ru sí mi.
29 Because of thy anger towards Me, And thy noise — it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And I have caused thee to turn back In the way in which thou camest.

30 — And this to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is] self-sown grain, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, And in the third year, sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
“Èyí ni yóò ṣe àmì fún ọ, ìwọ Hesekiah: “Ní ọdún yìí, ìwọ yóò jẹ ohun tí ó hù fúnra rẹ̀, àti ní ọdún kejì ohun tí ó jáde láti ara rẹ. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún kẹta, ẹ gbìn kí ẹ sì kórè, ẹ gbin ọgbà àjàrà kí ẹ sì jẹ èso wọn.
31 And it hath continued — the escaped Of the house of Judah that hath been left — To take root beneath, And it hath made fruit upward.
Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, àṣẹ́kù láti ilé Juda yóò ta gbòǹgbò nísàlẹ̀ yóò sì ṣo èso lókè.
32 For from Jerusalem goeth forth a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
Nítorí láti Jerusalẹmu ni àwọn àṣẹ́kù yóò ti wá, àti láti òkè Sioni ni ikọ̀ àwọn tí ó sálà. Ìtara Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni yóò mú èyí ṣẹ.
33 Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it [with] shield, Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.
“Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí nípa ọba Asiria, “Òun kì yóò wọ ìlú yìí wá tàbí ta ẹyọ ọfà kan níhìn-ín Òun kì yóò wá síwájú rẹ pẹ̀lú asà tàbí kí ó kó dágunró sílẹ̀ fún un.
34 In the way that he came, in it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, An affirmation of Jehovah,
Nípa ọ̀nà tí ó gbà wá náà ni yóò padà lọ; òun kì yóò wọ inú ìlú yìí,” ni Olúwa wí.
35 And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.'
“Èmi yóò dáàbò bo ìlú yìí èmi ó sì gbà á là, nítorí mi àti nítorí Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi!”
36 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are] dead corpses.
Lẹ́yìn náà ni angẹli Olúwa jáde lọ ó sì pa ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án ó lé ẹgbẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n ènìyàn ní i ibùdó àwọn Asiria. Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn yìí jí ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì gbogbo wọn ti dòkú!
37 And journey, and go, and turn back doth Sennacherib king of Asshur, and dwelleth in Nineveh.

38 And it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
