2 Sarakuna 19
1 Da sarki Hezekiya ya ji haka, sai ya kyakketa tufafinsa, ya sa tufafin makoki, ya shiga haikalin Ubangiji.
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into Yahweh’s house.
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, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, 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.
They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and 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.”
It may be Yahweh your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Yahweh your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
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.
Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master this: ‘Yahweh says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that 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, and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.”’”
8 Da sarkin yaƙin ya ji cewa sarkin Assuriya ya bar Lakish, sai ya janye, ya kuma iske sarkin yana yaƙi da Libna.
So Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed 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,
When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “Behold, he has come out to fight against you,” he 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 this: ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given 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?
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you be delivered?
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?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed—Gozan, Haran, 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, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of 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.
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to Yahweh’s house, and spread it before Yahweh.
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 before Yahweh, and said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, who are enthroned above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, 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.
Incline your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, which he 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, Yahweh, the kings of Assyria have laid 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 cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed 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 therefore, Yahweh our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Yahweh, are God alone.”
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, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says ‘You have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, and I have heard you.
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 Yahweh has spoken concerning him: ‘The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at 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 defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? 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 messengers, you have defied the Lord, and have said, “With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon, and I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
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 and drunk strange waters, and I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt with the sole of my feet.”
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.
Haven’t you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
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 had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops and like grain blasted before it has grown up.
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, your 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 of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which 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.
“This will be the sign to you: This year, you will eat that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from that; and in the third year sow and reap, and 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 has escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
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 out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. Yahweh’s zeal will perform 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.
“Therefore Yahweh says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there. He will not come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
33 Ta hanyar da ya zo ne zai koma; ba zai shiga birnin nan ba, in ji Ubangiji.
He will return the same way that he came, and he will not come to this city,’ says Yahweh.
34 Zan kāre birnin nan in cece ta, saboda kaina da kuma bawana Dawuda.”
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake and for my servant David’s sake.’”
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, Yahweh’s angel went out and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all 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 departed, went home, and lived 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.
As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
