2 Sarakuna 19
1 Da sarki Hezekiya ya ji haka, sai ya kyakketa tufafinsa, ya sa tufafin makoki, ya shiga haikalin Ubangiji.
On hearing this report, King Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.
2 Ya aiki Eliyakim sarkin fada, Shebna marubuci da shugabannin firistoci, dukansu sanye da tufafin makoki, zuwa wurin annabi Ishaya ɗan Amoz.
And he sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz
3 Suka ce masa, “Hezekiya ya ce, yau ranar wahala ce, da ta cin mutunci, da ta shan kunya, ga shi,’ya’ya suna gab da a haife su, amma ba ƙarfin da za a yi yunƙuri a haife su.
to tell him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace; for children have come to the point of birth, but there is no strength to deliver them.
4 Mai yiwuwa Ubangiji Allahnka ya ji dukan maganganun sarkin yaƙi, wanda maigidansa, sarkin Assuriya, ya aiko don yă rena Allah mai rai. Bari Ubangiji Allahnka yă tsawata masa saboda maganar da ya ji. Saboda haka ka yi addu’a domin raguwar da har yanzu suke a raye.”
Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to defy the living God, and He will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that still survives.”
5 Da fadawan sarki Hezekiya suka isa wurin Ishaya,
So the servants of King Hezekiah went to Isaiah,
6 Ishaya ya ce musu, “Ku faɗa wa maigidanku, in ji Ubangiji, ‘Kada abin da ka ji yă firgita ka, wato, waɗannan kalmomin da karen nan na sarkin Assuriya ya yi saɓo da su.
who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
7 Saurara! Zan sa masa wani ruhun da zai sa yă ji wata jita-jitar da za tă sa yă koma ƙasarsa. A can zan sa a kashe shi da takobi a ƙasarsa.’”
Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”
8 Da sarkin yaƙin ya ji cewa sarkin Assuriya ya bar Lakish, sai ya janye, ya kuma iske sarkin yana yaƙi da Libna.
When the Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah.
9 To, Sennakerib ya sami labari cewa Tirhaka, mutumin Kush sarkin Masar, yana zuwa masa da yaƙi. Saboda haka ya sāke aika manzanni zuwa wurin Hezekiya cewa,
Now Sennacherib had been warned about Tirhakah king of Cush: “Look, he has set out to fight against you.” So Sennacherib again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 “Ku faɗa wa Hezekiya sarkin Yahuda, kada ka bar allahn da kake dogara gare shi yă ruɗe ka cewa, ‘Urushalima ba za tă fāɗi a hannun sarkin Assuriya ba.’
“Give this message to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Ba shakka ka riga ka ji abin da sarkin Assuriya ya yi da dukan ƙasashe, yana hallaka su gaba ɗaya. Kai kuwa kana ji za a cece ka?
Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction. Will you then be spared?
12 Allolin al’umman da kakannina suka hallaka, sun cece su ne, allolin Gozan, da na Haran, da na Rezef, da kuma na mutane Eden da suke a Tel Assar?
Did the gods of the nations destroyed by my fathers rescue those nations—the gods of Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and of the people of Eden in Telassar?
13 Ina sarkin Hamat, da sarkin Arfad, da sarkin birnin Sefarfayim, ko na Hena da kuma na Iffa?”
Where are the kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”
14 Hezekiya ya karɓi wasiƙar daga manzannin ya karanta. Sa’an nan ya tashi ya tafi haikalin Ubangiji ya shimfiɗa wasiƙar a gaban Ubangiji.
So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD.
15 Hezekiya kuwa ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce, “Ya Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, wanda yake zaune tsakanin kerubobi, kai kaɗai ne Allah bisa dukan mulkokin duniya. Kai ka yi sama da duniya.
And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
16 Ka kasa kunne, ya Ubangiji, ka ji; ka buɗe idanunka ya Ubangiji ka gani; ka saurari kalmomin da Sennakerib ya aiko don yă yi wa Allah mai rai ba’a.
Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.
17 “Da gaske ne, ya Ubangiji, cewa sarakunan Assuriya sun hallakar da waɗannan al’ummai da ƙasashensu.
Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste these nations and their lands.
18 Sun jefar da allolinsu cikin wuta, suka hallaka su, gama ba alloli ba ne, katakai ne da kuma duwatsu, ayyukan hannuwan mutane.
They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods, but only wood and stone—the work of human hands.
19 To, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu, ka cece mu daga hannunsa, don dukan mulkokin duniya su san cewa kai kaɗai, ya Ubangiji ne Allah.”
And now, O LORD our God, please save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”
20 Sai Ishaya ɗan Amoz ya aika da saƙo zuwa wurin Hezekiya cewa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila ya ce, na ji addu’arka game da Sennakerib sarkin Assuriya.
Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria.
21 Ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da shi, “‘Budurwar Sihiyona ta rena ka tana kuma yin maka ba’a. Diyar Urushalima ta kaɗa kanta yayinda kake gudu.
This is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.
22 Wane ne ka zaga, ka kuma yi masa saɓo? Wa kake gāba da shi har ka ɗaga muryarka, har ka tā da idanunka da fahariya? Kana gāba da Mai Tsarki na Isra’ila!
Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 Ta wurin manzanninka ka tara wa Ubangiji zagi. Ka kuma ce, “Da yawa kekunan yaƙina na haye kan ƙwanƙolin duwatsu, wurin mafi tsawo na Lebanon. Na sassare itacen al’ul nasa mafi tsawo mafi daraja na itacen fir nasa. Na ratsa har can tsakiyar kurmi, mafi kyau na kurminsa.
Through your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the finest of its cypresses. I have reached its farthest outposts, the densest of its forests.
24 Na tona rijiyoyi a ƙasashen waje na kuma sha ruwa a can. Da tafin ƙafafuna na busar da dukan rafuffukan Masar.”
I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
25 “‘Ba ka taɓa ji ba? Tun da daɗewa na ƙaddara haka. Tuntuni kuwa na shirya shi; yanzu kuma na sa ya faru, cewa ka mai da birane masu katanga tarin duwatsu.
Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it; in days of old I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should crush fortified cities into piles of rubble.
26 Ƙarfin mutanensu ya tsiyaye, suka razana aka kuma kunyata su. Suna kama da tsirai a gona, kamar sabon toho kamar ciyawa mai tohuwa bisa rufin ɗaki wanda ya bushe saboda zafi, kafin yă yi girma.
Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.
27 “‘Amma na san wurin zamanka da fitarka da shigarka da yadda kake fushi da ni.
But I know your sitting down, your going out and coming in, and your raging against Me.
28 Domin kana fushi da ni reninka ya iso kunnuwata, zan sa ƙugiyata a hancinka da linzamina a bakinka, zan kuma sa ka koma a ta hanyar da ka zo.’
Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’
29 “Wannan zai zama alama a gare ka, ya Hezekiya, “Bana, za ku ci amfanin gonar da ya tsira da kansa, baɗi kuma amfanin gonar da ya tsiro daga na bara. Amma a shekara ta uku, za ku yi shuki, ku kuma girbe, ku dasa gonakin inabi, ku kuma ci’ya’yansa.
And this will be a sign to you, O Hezekiah: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. But in the third year you will sow and reap; you will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
30 Sau ɗaya kuma ragowar masarautar Yahuda za tă yi saiwoyi a ƙasa ta kuma ba da’ya’ya a bisa.
And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root below and bear fruit above.
31 Gama daga Urushalima za a sami ragowa, daga Dutsen Sihiyona kuma za a sami waɗanda suka tsira. Himmar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki za tă cika wannan.
For a remnant will go forth from Jerusalem, and survivors from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
32 “Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji ya ce game da sarkin Assuriya, “Ba zai shiga birnin nan ba ko yă harba kibiya a nan. Ba zai kusace ta da garkuwa ko yă yi mata zoben yaƙi ba.
So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it.
33 Ta hanyar da ya zo ne zai koma; ba zai shiga birnin nan ba, in ji Ubangiji.
He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city,’
34 Zan kāre birnin nan in cece ta, saboda kaina da kuma bawana Dawuda.”
‘I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
35 A daren nan mala’ikan Ubangiji ya fita ya kashe dakaru dubu ɗari da tamanin da biyu a sansanin Assuriyawa. Da mutane suka farka da safe, sai ga gawawwaki ko’ina.
And that very night the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!
36 Saboda haka Sennakerib sarkin Assuriya ya tā da sansanin ya kuma janye. Ya koma Ninebe ya zauna a can.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
37 Wata rana yayinda yake sujada a haikalin Nisrok, allahnsa, sai’ya’yansa maza, Adrammelek da Sharezer suka kashe shi da takobi, suka gudu zuwa ƙasar Ararat. Sai Esar-Haddon ɗansa ya gāje shi.
One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat. And his son Esar-haddon reigned in his place.
