2 Sarakuna 19
1 Da sarki Hezekiya ya ji haka, sai ya kyakketa tufafinsa, ya sa tufafin makoki, ya shiga haikalin Ubangiji.
And on hearing it, King Hezekiah took off his robe, and put on haircloth, and went into 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, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the chief priests, dressed in haircloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the 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.
And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame; for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to 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.”
It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so then make your prayer for the rest of the people.
5 Da fadawan sarki Hezekiya suka isa wurin Ishaya,
So the servants of King Hezekiah came 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.
And Isaiah said to them, This is what you are to say to your master: The Lord says, Be not troubled by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have said against me in your hearing.
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.’”
See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death 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.
So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah, for it had come to his ears that he had gone away from Lachish.
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,
And when news came to him that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had made an attack on him, he sent representatives to Hezekiah again, 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.’
This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands 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?
No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse; and will you be kept safe?
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 keep safe those on whom my fathers sent destruction, Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
13 Ina sarkin Hamat, da sarkin Arfad, da sarkin birnin Sefarfayim, ko na Hena da kuma na Iffa?”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the town of Sepharvaim, of Hena and of 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.
And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there 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 made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and 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.
Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord, and let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see; take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against 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 made waste the 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.
And have given their gods to the fire; for they were no gods, but wood and stone, the work of men's hands; so they have given them to destruction.
19 To, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu, ka cece mu daga hannunsa, don dukan mulkokin duniya su san cewa kai kaɗai, ya Ubangiji ne Allah.”
But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hands, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you and only you, 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, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer which you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.
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 which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of 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!
Against whom have you said evil and bitter things? against whom has your voice been loud and your eyes lifted up? even 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.
You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods; I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.
24 Na tona rijiyoyi a ƙasashen waje na kuma sha ruwa a can. Da tafin ƙafafuna na busar da dukan rafuffukan Masar.”
I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.
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.
Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.
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.
This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field and the green plant, like grass on the house-tops.
27 “‘Amma na san wurin zamanka da fitarka da shigarka da yadda kake fushi da ni.
But I have knowledge of your getting up and your resting, of your going out and your coming in.
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 wrath against me and your words of pride have come up to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by 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 the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself; and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed and get in the grain and make vine-gardens and take of their fruit.
30 Sau ɗaya kuma ragowar masarautar Yahuda za tă yi saiwoyi a ƙasa ta kuma ba da’ya’ya a bisa.
And those of Judah who are still living will again take root in the earth and give fruit.
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 from Jerusalem those who have been kept safe will go out, and those who are still living will go out of Mount Zion: by the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
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.
For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it;
33 Ta hanyar da ya zo ne zai koma; ba zai shiga birnin nan ba, in ji Ubangiji.
By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town, says the Lord.
34 Zan kāre birnin nan in cece ta, saboda kaina da kuma bawana Dawuda.”
For I will keep this town safe, for my honour, and for the honour 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 night the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men; and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but 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, went back to his place at Nineveh.
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.
And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword; and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son became king in his place.
