Yesaya 37
1 Esi fia Hezekia se nya siawo la, edze eƒe awuwo, eye wòta akpanya heyi Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me.
Kwasekusithi inkosi uHezekhiya isikuzwile, yadabula izigqoko zayo, yazembesa ngesaka, yangena endlini yeNkosi.
2 Emegbe la, edɔ eƒe dɔnunɔla, Eliakim kple eƒe agbalẽŋlɔla Sebna kple nunɔla tsitsiwo dometɔ aɖewo, ame siwo katã hã ta akpanya, eye woyi ɖe Nyagblɔɖila Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi la gbɔ.
Yasithuma uEliyakhimi umphathi wendlu, loShebina umabhalane, labadala babapristi bembethe amasaka, kuIsaya umprofethi indodana kaAmozi.
3 Wogblɔ nɛ be, Ale fia Hezekia gblɔe nye esi: “Egbee nye xaxa, mokaka kple vlodogbe. Enye ɣeyiɣi sesẽ abe nyɔnu si vi ɖo atame na be wòadzi, gake ŋusẽ mele eŋu be woasii adzi o la ene.
Basebesithi kuye: Utsho njalo uHezekhiya: Lolusuku lusuku lohlupho lolokusolwa lolokweyiswa, ngoba abantwana sebefikile emlonyeni wesizalo, kanti akulamandla okubeletha.
4 Ɖewohĩ Yehowa, wò Mawu la ase nya siwo aʋafia, si eƒe aƒetɔ Asiria fia dɔ la gblɔ. Ame si wòdɔ be woaɖe alɔme le Mawu gbagbe la ŋu, eye wòaka mo nɛ ɖe nya siwo Yehowa, wò Mawu la se ta. Eya ta do gbe ɖa ɖe ame mamlɛ siwo tsi agbe la ta.”
Mhlawumbe iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, izawezwa amazwi kaRabi-Shake, onkosi yeAsiriya, inkosi yakhe, emthume ukuthuka uNkulunkulu ophilayo, lokusola ngamazwi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ewazwileyo. Ngakho phakamisa umkhuleko ngensali etholakeleyo.
5 Esi fia Hezekia ƒe ame dɔdɔwo va Yesaya gbɔ la,
Ngakho inceku zenkosi uHezekhiya zafika kuIsaya.
6 Yesaya gblɔ na wo be, “Migblɔ na miaƒe aƒetɔ be, ‘Nu si Yehowa gblɔe nye esi: migavɔ̃ nu si miese, busunya siwo Asiria fia teviwo gblɔ ɖe ŋutinye la o.
UIsaya wasesithi kuzo: Lizakutsho njalo enkosini yenu: Itsho njalo iNkosi: Ungesabi amazwi owezwileyo, inceku zenkosi yeAsiriya ezingithuke ngawo.
7 Ɖo to afii: mele gbɔgbɔ aɖe de ge eme, ale be ne nutsotso aɖewo va ɖo egbɔ la, atrɔ ayi ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi, eye le afi ma, mana wòatsi yi nu.’”
Khangela, ngizafaka umoya kuyo, njalo izakuzwa ihungahunga, ibuyele elizweni layo; njalo ngizayenza ukuthi iwe ngenkemba elizweni layo.
8 Esi aʋafia la se be Asiria fia dzo le Lakis la, eya hã ho dzo, eye wòke ɖe fia la ŋu wònɔ aʋa wɔm kple Libna.
URabi-Shake wasebuyela, wafica inkosi yeAsiriya isilwa imelene leLibhina; ngoba wayezwile ukuthi isisukile eLakishi.
9 Azɔ gbe va na Senakerib be, Tirhaka, Kus fia, si le Egipte ƒe dzigbeme lɔƒo la ho aʋa gbɔna edzi dze ge. Esi wòse nya sia la, edɔ amewo ɖo ɖe fia Hezekia gbɔ be woagblɔ nɛ be,
Wasesizwa ngoTirihaka inkosi yeEthiyophiya kuthiwa: Uphumile ukuzakulwa lawe. Esekuzwile wathuma izithunywa kuHezekhiya esithi:
10 “Migblɔ na Hezekia, Yuda fia be, ‘Mègana mawu si ŋu nèle ŋu ɖom ɖo la nable wò o,’ esi wògblɔ be, ‘Womatsɔ Yerusalem ade asi na Asiria fia o.’
Lizakhuluma kanje kuHezekhiya inkosi yakoJuda lithi: UNkulunkulu wakho othembele kuye kangakukhohlisi esithi: IJerusalema kayiyikunikelwa esandleni senkosi yeAsiriya.
11 Meka ɖe edzi be, èse nu siwo Asiria fiawo tu kple dukɔwo katã, eye wotsrɔ̃ wo gbidigbidi. Ke woaɖe wò ya?
Khangela, wena usuzwile ukuthi amakhosi eAsiriya enzeni kuwo wonke amazwe ngokuwatshabalalisa. Wena-ke uzakhululwa yini?
12 Ɖe dukɔ siwo mía fofowo tsrɔ̃ va yi la ƒe mawuwo te ŋu ɖe woa? Ɖe Gozan, Haran, Rezef kple Edentɔ siwo le Tel Asar la ƒe mawuwo ɖe woa?
Onkulunkulu bezizwe bazikhulula yini obaba abazichithayo, iGozani leHarani leRezefi, labantwana beEdeni ababeseTelasari?
13 Afi ka Hamat fia le, afi ka Arpad fia le, afi ka Sefarvaim dua ƒe fia le, eye afi ka Hena kple Iva ƒe fiawo le?”
Ingaphi inkosi yeHamathi, lenkosi yeArpadi, lenkosi yomuzi weSefavayimi, iHena, leIva?
14 Hezekia xɔ agbalẽ la le ame dɔdɔawo si hexlẽe. Etso heyi ɖe Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ me, eye wòkeke agbalẽ la ɖe Yehowa ŋkume.
UHezekhiya wasesemukela izincwadi esandleni sezithunywa, wazifunda, wenyukela endlini yeNkosi; uHezekhiya wasezichaya phambi kweNkosi.
15 Emegbe la, edo gbe ɖa na Yehowa be:
UHezekhiya wasekhuleka eNkosini, esithi:
16 “O! Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu, ame si nɔ kerubiwo dome, wò koe nye Mawu ɖe anyigbadzifiaɖuƒewo katã dzi. Wòe wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba.
Nkosi yamabandla, Nkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ohlala phakathi kwamakherubhi, nguwe wedwa onguNkulunkulu wayo yonke imibuso yomhlaba; wena wenze amazulu lomhlaba.
17 O! Yehowa, ƒu to anyi, eye nàse nu. Ʋu wò ŋkuwo, eye nàkpɔ nu. Se nya siwo katã Senakerib tsɔ do vlo Mawu gbagbe lae ɖa.
Thoba indlebe yakho, Nkosi, uzwe, vula amehlo akho, Nkosi, ubone; uzwe wonke amazwi kaSenakheribi awathumele ukuklolodela uNkulunkulu ophilayo.
18 “O! Yehowa, enye nyateƒe be Asiria fiawo na be ame siawo kple woƒe anyigbawo zu gbegbe.
Qiniso, Nkosi, amakhosi eAsiriya achithile zonke izizwe lamazwe azo;
19 Wotsɔ woƒe mawuwo ƒu gbe ɖe dzo me hetsrɔ̃ wo, elabena menye mawuwo wonye o, ke boŋ ati kple kpe wonye, amegbetɔ ƒe asinudɔwɔwɔwoe.
aphosela onkulunkulu bazo emlilweni, ngoba babengeyisibo onkulunkulu, kodwa umsebenzi wezandla zabantu, izigodo lamatshe; ngalokho bababhubhisa.
20 Ke azɔ, O! Yehowa, mía Mawu, ɖe mí tso eƒe asi me be fiaɖuƒe siwo katã le anyigba dzi la nanya be wò koe nye Yehowa.”
Ngakho-ke, Nkosi Nkulunkulu wethu, sisindise esandleni sakhe, ukuze yonke imibuso yomhlaba yazi ukuthi wena wedwa uyiNkosi.
21 Yesaya, Amoz ƒe vi, ɖo gbedeasi sia ɖe Hezekia be, “Ale Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔe nye esi, ‘Esi nèdo gbe ɖa nam tso Senakerib, Asiria fia ŋuti ta la,
UIsaya indodana kaAmozi wasethumela kuHezekhiya, esithi: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Lokho okukhuleke kimi ngoSenakheribi inkosi yeAsiriya,
22 esia nye nya si Yehowa gblɔ ɖe eŋuti.’ “Zion vinyɔnu si menya ŋutsu o la gbe nu le gbɔwò, eye wòɖu fewu le ŋuwò. Yerusalem vinyɔnu ɖo hehe ɖe tawò esi nèlé du tsɔ.
leli yilizwi iNkosi elikhulume ngaye: Intombi emsulwa, indodakazi yeZiyoni iyakudelela, iyakuklolodela; indodakazi yeJerusalema inikina ikhanda ngemva kwakho.
23 Ame ka nèdzu hegblɔ busunyawo ɖe eŋuti? Ame ka ta nèle ɣli dom ɖo, eye ame ka nètre ŋku kpɔe dadatɔe? Israel ƒe Kɔkɔetɔ la ŋutie!
Ngubani omeyisileyo wamhlambaza? Njalo uphakamisele bani ilizwi, waphakamisela amehlo akho phezulu? Umelene loNgcwele kaIsrayeli.
24 To wò ame dɔdɔwo dzi nèɖe alɔme le Aƒetɔ la ŋu hegblɔ be, ‘Metsɔ nye tasiaɖamwo, lia yi towo tame ke, yi keke Lebanon tame ke. Melã eƒe sedati kɔkɔwo kple eƒe avemeti nyuitɔwo, meyi eƒe teƒe kɔkɔtɔ kekeake afi si eƒe ave dodowo le.
Uklolodele iNkosi ngesandla sezinceku zakho, wathi: Ngobunengi bezinqola zami mina ngenyukele endaweni ephakemeyo yezintaba, ezinhlangothini zeLebhanoni. Njalo ngizagamula imisedari yayo emide, ikhethelo lezihlahla zamafiri ayo, ngingene ekuphakameni kwemingcele yayo, igusu leKharmeli layo.
25 Meɖe vudo ɖe dzronyigbawo dzi, eye meno wo me tsi le afi ma. Mena Egipte tɔʋuwo mie le nye afɔ te.’
Mina ngagebha, nganatha amanzi, langengaphansi yenyawo zami ngomisa yonke imifula yendawo evinjelweyo.
26 “Mèsee do ŋgɔ oa? Megblɔ nu sia da ɖi tso blema ke. Mewɔ ɖoɖo ɖe eŋu tso gbe aɖe gbe ʋĩi; ke azɔ la, mena wòva eme be, du siwo ŋu woɖo gli sesẽwo ɖo la zu anyiglago.
Kawuzwanga yini ukuthi ngakwenza endulo, ngakubumba ensukwini zendulo? Khathesi ngikufikisile, ukuthi ube ngowokudiliza imizi evikelweyo ibe zinqumbi zamanxiwa.
27 Èxɔ ŋusẽ le dua me nɔlawo si. Woƒe mo wɔ yaa, eye ŋu kpe wo. Wole abe nukuwo le agble dzi ene, nu miemie fɛ̃wo le bo dzi kple gbe siwo mie ɖe xɔ tame la ene. Ŋdɔ sesẽ ɖu wo, eye woyrɔ le esime wometsi o.
Ngakho abahlali bayo babelesandla esifitshane, besaba, baba lenhloni, baba njengotshani beganga, lemibhida eluhlaza, utshani bempahla, lamabele ahanguliweyo engakami.
28 “Ke menya afi si nèle. Menya ɣeyiɣi si nèdona gagbɔna, eye menya ale si nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe ŋunye.
Kodwa ngiyakwazi ukuhlala kwakho, lokuphuma kwakho, lokungena kwakho, lokungithukuthelela kwakho.
29 Esi nèdo dɔmedzoe ɖe ŋutinye, eye wò amemabumabu va ɖo nye to me ta la, matsɔ nye lãɖeƒu ade ŋɔti me na wò, made numega nu me na wò, eye mana mɔ si nèto va la nàgato eya ke dzi adzo.
Ngenxa yokungithukuthelela kwakho, lokuthi umsindo wakho wenyukele endlebeni zami, ngizakufaka umkhala wami emakhaleni akho, letomu lami endebeni zakho, ngikwenze ubuyele ngendlela oweza ngayo.
30 “O! Hezekia, esia anye dzesi na wò: “Ƒe sia me la, àɖu nuku si mie le eya ŋutɔ ɖokui si, eye le ƒe evelia me la, àɖu nu si mie tso gbãtɔ me. Ke le ƒe etɔ̃lia me la, àƒã nu, eye àxa nu. Àde waingble eye àɖu eƒe tsetsea
Lokhu-ke kuzakuba yisibonakaliso kuwe; lonyaka uzakudla okuzikhulelayo; langomnyaka wesibili umkhukhuzela; kuthi ngomnyaka wesithathu lihlanyele, livune, lihlanyele izivini, lidle izithelo zazo.
31 Ava eme be ame siwo susɔ na Yuda ƒe aƒe la woato ke, eye woatse ku,
Lokuphephileyo kwendlu yakoJuda okuseleyo kuzaphinda kugxumeke impande phansi, kuthele izithelo ngaphezulu.
32 elabena ame aɖewo asusɔ tso Yerusalem nɔlawo dome, eye ame siwo tsi agbe la ado tso Zion to la dzi, Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ ƒe didi vevie ana esia nava eme.
Ngoba kuzaphuma eJerusalema insali, lokuphephileyo entabeni yeZiyoni. Ukutshiseka kweNkosi yamabandla kuzakwenza lokhu.
33 “Eya ta ale Yehowa gblɔ ɖe Asiria fia ŋue nye esi, “Mage ɖe du sia me alo ada aŋutrɔ ɖeka pɛ le afi sia o. Mava afi sia kple akpoxɔnu alo aƒu kpo ɖe du sia ŋuti o.
Ngakho, utsho njalo uJehova ngenkosi yeAsiriya: Kayiyikungena kulumuzi, kayiyikutshoka umtshoko khona, kayiyikuza phambi kwawo ilesihlangu, kayiyikubuthelela idundulu maqondana lawo.
34 Mɔ si wòto va la, eya ke dzie wòato adzo. Mage ɖe du sia me akpɔ gbeɖe o.” Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngendlela eyeza ngayo, ngayo izabuyela, njalo kayiyikungena kulo umuzi, itsho iNkosi.
35 “Maʋli du sia ta aɖee le nye ŋutɔ kple David, nye dɔla ta!”
Ngoba ngizawuvikela lumuzi ukuwusindisa, ngenxa yami, langenxa kaDavida inceku yami.
36 Emegbe la, Yehowa ƒe dɔla yi ɖe Asiriatɔwo ƒe aʋasaɖa la me hewu ame akpe alafa ɖeka kple blaenyi-vɔ-atɔ̃. Esi amewo fɔ ŋdi la, kpɔ ɖa, ame kukuwo sɔŋ ko wokpɔ.
Khona kwaphuma ingilosi yeNkosi, yatshaya enkambeni yamaAsiriya abazinkulungwane ezilikhulu lamatshumi ayisificaminwembili lanhlanu. Kwathi bevuka ekuseni kakhulu, khangela-ke, bonke babeyizidumbu ezifileyo.
37 Ale Asiria fia, Senakerib kaka asaɖa la, eye wòho dzo. Etrɔ yi Ninive, eye wònɔ afi ma.
Ngakho uSenakheribi inkosi yeAsiriya wasuka, wahamba ebuyela, wahlala eNineve.
38 Gbe ɖeka esi wònɔ gbe dom ɖa le eƒe mawu, Nisrɔk ƒe gbedoxɔ me la, via ŋutsu eve, Adramelek kple Sarezer, wowui kple yi hesi yi Ararat eye via Esarhadon ɖu fia ɖe eteƒe.
Kwasekusithi ekhonza endlini kaNisiroki unkulunkulu wakhe, oAdrameleki loSharezeri amadodana akhe bamtshaya ngenkemba; bona basebephephela elizweni leArarathi. UEsarihadoni indodana yakhe wasebusa esikhundleni sakhe.
