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.
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
2 Ya aiki Eliyakim sarkin fada, Shebna magatakarda da kuma manyan firistoci, duka sanye da tsummoki, wurin Ishaya ɗan Amoz.
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, 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.
They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth.
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 the LORD your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.’”
5 Sa’ad da shugabannin Sarki Hezekiya suka zo wurin Ishaya,
So 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.
Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD 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 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 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 Sa’ad da sarkin yaƙin ya ji cewa sarkin Assuriya ya bar Lakish, sai ya janye ya kuma sami sarki yana yaƙi da Libna.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he 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.
He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
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 you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t 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, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you 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?
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 yake, sarkin Arfad fa, sarkin Sefarfayim, ko na Hena ko na Iffa?”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
14 Hezekiya ya karɓi wasiƙar daga jakadun ya karanta ta. Sa’an nan ya haura zuwa haikalin Ubangiji ya shimfiɗa ta a gaban Ubangiji.
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD’s house, and spread it before the LORD.
15 Sai Hezekiya ya yi addu’a ga Ubangiji ya ce,
Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
16 “Ya Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, Allah na Isra’ila, zaune a tsakanin kerubobi, kai kaɗai ne Allah a kan dukan masarautan duniya.
“LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have 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.
Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
18 “Gaskiya ce, ya Ubangiji, cewa sarakunan Assuriyawa sun mai da dukan waɗannan mutane da ƙasashensu kango.
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
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 no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore 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.”
Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.”
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, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib 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 the LORD 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.
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 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.
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 your servants, 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. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
25 Na haƙa rijiyoyi a baƙuwar ƙasa na kuma sha ruwa a can. Da tafin ƙafafuna na busar da dukan rafuffukan Masar.’
I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will 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.
“‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them 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 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 a field before its crop has grown.
28 “Amma na san inda kake zama da sa’ad da kakan fita ka kuma koma da yadda ka harzuƙa gāba da ni.
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging 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 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.
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.
“‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 Sauran da suka rage na gidan Yahuda kuwa za su yi saiwa a ƙarƙashi su kuma ba da’ya’ya a bisa.
The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take 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 out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD 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 the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, 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.
He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.
35 “Zan kāre wannan birni in kuma cece shi, saboda girmana da kuma saboda sunan Dawuda bawana!”
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my 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 the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37 Saboda haka Sennakerib sarkin Assuriya ya janye. Ya koma zuwa Ninebe ya zauna a can.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
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.
As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
