Ishaya 37
1 Sa’ad da Sarki Hezekiya ya ji haka, sai ya kyakkece rigunansa ya kuma sanya tsummoki ya tafi ya shiga haikalin Ubangiji.
And when the king, Hezekiah, heard it, he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 Ya aiki Eliyakim sarkin fada, Shebna magatakarda da kuma manyan firistoci, duka sanye da tsummoki, wurin Ishaya ɗan Amoz.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.
3 Suka faɗa masa cewa, “Ga abin da Hezekiya ya ce wannan rana ce ta baƙin ciki da tsawatawa da shan kunya, sai ka ce sa’ad da’ya’ya kan zo matakin haihuwa sa’an nan a rasa ƙarfin haihuwarsu.
And they said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of distress, of rebuke, and of contempt; for the children have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Mai yiwuwa Ubangiji Allahnka zai ji maganganun sarkin yaƙin da maigidansa, sarkin Assuriya, ya aika don yă zagi Allah mai rai, ya kuma tsawata masa saboda maganganun da Ubangiji Allahnka ya ji. Saboda haka ka yi addu’a saboda raguwar da suke da rai.”
It may be that Jehovah, thy God, will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, hath sent to reproach the living God, and to revile him with the words which Jehovah, thy God, hath heard. Do thou, therefore, lift up thy prayer for the remnant of the people, that is yet left.
5 Sa’ad da shugabannin Sarki Hezekiya suka zo wurin Ishaya,
And the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 sai Ishaya ya ce musu, “Ku faɗa wa maigidanku cewa, ‘Ga abin da Ubangiji ya faɗa. Kada ka ji tsoron abin da ka ji, maganganun nan da bayin sarkin Assuriya suka yi mini saɓo.
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master: Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid on account of the words which thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Ka saurara! Zan sa ruhuna a cikinsa saboda sa’ad da ya ji wani labari, zai koma zuwa ƙasarsa, a can kuwa zan sa a kashe shi da takobi.’”
Behold, I will put a spirit within him, so that he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Sa’ad da sarkin yaƙin ya ji cewa sarkin Assuriya ya bar Lakish, sai ya janye ya kuma sami sarki yana yaƙi da Libna.
Then Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 To, fa, Sennakerib ya sami labari cewa Tirhaka, mutumin Kush sarkin Masar, yana fitowa don yă yi yaƙi da shi. Sa’ad da ya ji haka, sai ya aiki jakadu zuwa wurin Hezekiya da wannan magana.
Then he heard concerning Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, that it was said, “He is come forth to war against thee.” And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah and said,
10 “Ku faɗa wa Hezekiya sarkin Yahuda cewa kada ka bar allahn da ka dogara a kai ya ruɗe ka sa’ad da ya ce, ‘Ba za a ba da Urushalima ga sarkin Assuriya ba.’
Thus shall ye say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Tabbatacce ka ji abin da sarakunan Assuriya suka aikata ga dukan ƙasashe, suna hallaka su tas. Kai kuwa za ka tsira ne?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands; how they have utterly destroyed them. And shalt thou be delivered?
12 Allolin al’umman da kakannina suka hallaka sun cece su ne, allolin Gozan, Haran, Rezef da kuma na mutanen Eden waɗanda suke zama a Tel Assar?
Did the gods of the nations which my father destroyed, deliver them? Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden in Telassar?
13 Ina sarkin Hamat yake, sarkin Arfad fa, sarkin Sefarfayim, ko na Hena ko na Iffa?”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Henah, and of Ivah?
14 Hezekiya ya karɓi wasiƙar daga jakadun ya karanta ta. Sa’an nan ya haura zuwa haikalin Ubangiji ya shimfiɗa ta a gaban Ubangiji.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then he went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 Sai Hezekiya ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce,
And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, saying,
16 “Ya Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, zaune a tsakanin kerubobi, kai kaɗai ne Allah a kan dukan masarautan duniya.
O Jehovah of hosts, God of Israel, who sittest between the cherubs, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast made heaven and earth.
17 Ka kasa kunne, ya Ubangiji, ka kuma ji; ka buɗe idanunka, ya Ubangiji, ka kuma gani; ka saurara ga dukan maganganun da Sennakerib ya aika don yă zagi Allah mai rai.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 “Gaskiya ce, ya Ubangiji, cewa sarakunan Assuriyawa sun mai da dukan waɗannan mutane da ƙasashensu kango.
In truth, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the nations, and their lands,
19 Sun jefar da gumakansu cikin wuta suka kuma hallaka su, gama su ba alloli ba ne itace ne kawai da dutse, da hannuwan mutane suka sarrafa.
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were not gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
20 Yanzu, ya Ubangiji Allahnmu, ka cece mu daga hannunsa, saboda masarautai a duniya su san cewa kai kaɗai ne, ya Ubangiji, Allah.”
But do thou, O Jehovah, our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou alone art Jehovah.
21 Sa’an nan Ishaya ɗan Amoz ya aika da saƙo wa Hezekiya cewa, “Ga abin da Ubangiji, Allah na Isra’ila, ya faɗa. Saboda ka yi addu’a gare ni game da Sennakerib sarkin Assuriya,
Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Whereas thou hast prayed to me on account of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria,
22 ga abin da maganar Ubangiji ya faɗa a kansa, “Budurwa Diyar Sihiyona ta rena tana kuma maka ba’a. Diyar Urushalima tana kada kai yayinda kake gudu.
This is the word which Jehovah hath spoken against him. The virgin, the daughter of Zion, despiseth thee; she laugheth thee to scorn; The daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head after thee.
23 Wane ne ka zargi ka kuma yi wa saɓo? A kan wa ka tā da muryarka ka kuma daga idanu cikin fariya? A kan Mai Tsarkin nan na Isra’ila!
Whom hast thou reproached, and reviled, And against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, And lifted up thine eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Ta wurin jakadunka ka jibge zage-zage a kan Ubangiji. Ka kuma ce, ‘Da kekunan yaƙina masu yawa na hau ƙwanƙolin duwatsu, ƙwanƙolin mafi tsayi na Lebanon. Na sassare al’ul mafi tsayi fir mafi kyau. Na kai can wuri mafi nisa na kurminsa.
By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and said: “With the multitude of my chariots have I ascended the heights of the mountains, the extremities of Lebanon; I have cut down its tall cedars, and its choice cypress-trees; I have come to its utmost height, to its garden forest.
25 Na haƙa rijiyoyi a baƙuwar ƙasa na kuma sha ruwa a can. Da tafin ƙafafuna na busar da dukan rafuffukan Masar.’
I have digged and drunk water, And with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
26 “Ba ka ji ba cewa tun dā can na shirya ya zama haka? A kwanakin dā na kafa shi; yanzu na sa ya faru, cewa ka mai da birane masu mafaka zuwa tsibin ɓuraguzai.
Hast thou not heard, that of old I ordained it, And from ancient times purposed it? Now have I brought it to pass, That thou shouldst convert fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Mutanensu, suka rasa ƙarfi, sun firgita suka kuma sha kunya. Suka zama kamar tsire-tsire a gona, kamar tsire-tsiren ta suka tohu, kamar ciyawar da ya tsiro a kan rufi, wadda zafi ya yi wa ƙuna kafin tă yi girma.
Therefore were their inhabitants of little strength; They were dismayed and confounded; They were as the grass of the field, and the green herb; As grass upon the house-top, and as corn blasted, before it is grown up.
28 “Amma na san inda kake zama da sa’ad da kakan fita ka kuma koma da yadda ka harzuƙa gāba da ni.
I know thy sitting down, thy going out, and thy coming in, And thy rage against me.
29 Saboda ka harzuƙa gāba da ni kuma saboda girmankanka ya kai kunnuwana, zan sa ƙugiya a hancinka linzamina a bakinka, zan kuma sa ka koma ta hanyar da ka zo.
Because thy rage against me, and thy insolence, is come up into my ears, I will put my ring into thy nose, And my bridle into thy lips, And turn thee back by the way in which thou camest.
30 “Wannan zai zama alama gare ka, ya Hezekiya, “Wannan shekara za ka ci abin da ya yi girma da kansa, shekara ta biyu kuma abin da ya tsiro daga wancan. Amma a shekara ta uku za ka yi shuki ka kuma girba, za ka dasa gonakin inabi ka kuma ci’ya’yansu.
And this shall be the sign to thee; Eat this year that which groweth of itself, And in the second year that which groweth of itself, And in the third year ye shall sow and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 Sauran da suka rage na gidan Yahuda kuwa za su yi saiwa a ƙarƙashi su kuma ba da’ya’ya a bisa.
And the remnant of the house of Judah, that have escaped, Shall again strike root downward, And bear fruit upward.
32 Gama daga Urushalima raguwa za tă fito, kuma daga Dutsen Sihiyona ƙungiyar waɗanda suka tsira. Himmar Ubangiji Maɗaukaki zai cika wannan.
For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, And they that have escaped from mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
33 “Saboda haka ga abin da Ubangiji yana cewa game da sarkin Assuriya, “Ba zai shiga wannan birni ba ya harbe kibiya a nan. Ba zai zo gabansa da garkuwa ba ko ya gina mahaurai kewaye a kansa ba.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah of hosts concerning the king of Assyria; He shall not come into this city, Nor shoot an arrow into it; He shall not present a shield before it, Nor cast up a mound against it.
34 Ta hanyar da ya zo da ita zai koma; ba zai shiga wannan birni ba,” in ji Ubangiji.
By the way in which he came, by the same shall he return, And into this city shall he not come, saith Jehovah.
35 “Zan kāre wannan birni in kuma cece shi, saboda girmana da kuma saboda sunan Dawuda bawana!”
For I will defend this city, and deliver it, For mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
36 Sai mala’ikan Ubangiji ya fita ya kuma karkashe mutane dubu ɗari da dubu tamanin da dubu biyar a sansanin Assuriya. Sa’ad da mutane suka farka kashegari, sai ga gawawwaki duk a kwance!
Then an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men; and when the people arose early in the morning, behold they were all dead corpses.
37 Saboda haka Sennakerib sarkin Assuriya ya janye. Ya koma zuwa Ninebe ya zauna a can.
Then Sennacherib, king of Assyria, decamped, and went away, and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 Wata rana, yayinda yake yin sujada a haikalin allahnsa Nisrok,’ya’yansa maza Adrammelek da Sharezer suka kashe shi da takobi, suka kuma gudu zuwa ƙasar Ararat. Esar-Haddon ɗansa kuwa ya gāje shi a matsayin sarki.
And as he was worshipping in the temple of Nisroch, his god, he was slain with the sword by his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer, who escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his stead.
