2 Sarakuna 19
1 Da sarki Hezekiya ya ji haka, sai ya kyakketa tufafinsa, ya sa tufafin makoki, ya shiga haikalin Ubangiji.
When Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and went into the Lord's Temple.
2 Ya aiki Eliyakim sarkin fada, Shebna marubuci da shugabannin firistoci, dukansu sanye da tufafin makoki, zuwa wurin annabi Ishaya ɗan Amoz.
He sent Eliakim the palace manager, Shebna, the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to see 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.
They told him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of trouble, punishment. It's like when babies arrive at the entrance to the birth canal but there's 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.”
Maybe the Lord your God, hearing the message the army commander delivered on behalf of his master, the king of Assyria—a message sent to insult the living God—will punish him for his words. Please say a prayer for the remnant of us who still survive.”
5 Da fadawan sarki Hezekiya suka isa wurin Ishaya,
After Hezekiah's officials delivered his message 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.
Isaiah replied to them, “Tell your master, This is what the Lord says: Don't be frightened by the words that you have heard, the words used by the servants of the king of Assyria to blaspheme 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.’”
Look, I'm going to scare him—he'll hear a rumor, and he'll have to return to his own country. When he's there I'll have him killed 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.
The Assyrian army commander left and went back to join the king of Assyria, having heard the king had left Lachish and was attacking 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,
Sennacherib had received a message about Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, that said, “Watch out! He has set out to attack you.” So Sennacherib sent messengers again 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.’
“Tell Hezekiah, king of Judah: ‘Don't let your God, the one you're trusting in, fool you by saying that Jerusalem won't fall 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?
Look! You've heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the countries they've invaded— they destroyed them completely! Do you really think you'll be saved?
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 my forefathers destroyed save them—the gods of Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who lived in Telassar?
13 Ina sarkin Hamat, da sarkin Arfad, da sarkin birnin Sefarfayim, ko na Hena da kuma na Iffa?”
Where today is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, the king of the city of Sepharvaim, the king of Hena, or the king 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.
Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers and read it. Then he went up to the Lord's Temple and opened 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.
Hezekiah prayed to the Lord, saying, “Lord, God of Israel, you who live above the cherubim, you alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth, you are Creator of 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.
Please listen with your ears, Lord, and hear; open your eyes, Lord, and see. Listen to the message that Sennacherib has sent to insult the living God.
17 “Da gaske ne, ya Ubangiji, cewa sarakunan Assuriya sun hallakar da waɗannan al’ummai da ƙasashensu.
Yes, it's true, Lord, that the Assyrian kings have destroyed 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 thrown their gods into the fire because they are not really gods—they are just the work of human hands, made of wood and stone so they could destroy them.
19 To, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu, ka cece mu daga hannunsa, don dukan mulkokin duniya su san cewa kai kaɗai, ya Ubangiji ne Allah.”
Now, Lord our God, please save us from him, in order that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that only you, 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, saying, “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer about 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 the Lord condemning him: The virgin daughter of Zion scorns you and mocks you; the daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head as you run away.
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!
Who have you been insulting and ridiculing? Who did you raise your voice against? Who did you look at with so proud eyes? It was 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.
By your servants you have mocked the Lord. You said: ‘With my many chariots I have ascended to the high mountains, to the farthest peaks of Lebanon. I have chopped down its tallest cedars, the best of its cypress trees. I have reached its most distant outposts, its deepest 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 water in foreign lands. With the soles of my feet I dried up all the rivers in 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.
The Lord replies, “Haven't you heard? I decided it long ago; I planned it in the olden days. Now I am making sure it happens—that you are to knock down fortified towns 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.
Their people, powerless, are terrified and humiliated. They're like plants in a field, like soft green shoots, like grass that sprouts on rooftop—scorched before it can even grow.
27 “‘Amma na san wurin zamanka da fitarka da shigarka da yadda kake fushi da ni.
But I know you very well—where you live, when you come in, when you leave, and your furious anger 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 of your furious anger against me, and because I know how you disrespect me, I'm going to put my hook in your nose and my bit in your mouth, and I will force you to return the same 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.
“Hezekiah, this will be a sign to prove this is true: This year you'll eat what grows by itself. The second year you'll eat what grows from that. But in the third year you'll sow and reap, you'll 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.
The remnant that's left of Judah will revive again, sending roots below and bearing 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 come out of Jerusalem, and survivors will come from Mount Zion. The intense determination of the Lord will make sure this happens.
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.
This is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: He shall not enter this city or shoot an arrow at it. He shall not advance towards it with a shield, or build a siege ramp against it.
33 Ta hanyar da ya zo ne zai koma; ba zai shiga birnin nan ba, in ji Ubangiji.
He shall return the same way he came, and he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
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.
That night the angel of the Lord went to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000. When the survivors woke up in the morning, they were surrounded by dead bodies.
36 Saboda haka Sennakerib sarkin Assuriya ya tā da sansanin ya kuma janye. Ya koma Ninebe ya zauna a can.
Sennacherib, king of Assyria, gave up and left. He returned home 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.
While he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer killed him with the sword and then ran away to the land of Ararat. His son Esar-haddon succeeded him as king.
