< Isaias 37 >

1 Ket napasamak nga idi nangngeg ni Ari Ezekias ti impadamagda, rinay-abna dagiti kawesna, nagkawes isuna iti nakersang a lupot, ket simrek iti balay ni Yahweh.
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
2 Imbaonna ni Eliakim a mangimatmaton iti palasio, ni Sebna nga eskriba, ken dagiti panglakayen dagiti padi a mapan kenni Isaias a profeta a lalaki a putot ni Amos, nakakawesda amin iti nakersang a lupot.
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 Kinunada kenkuana, “Kuna ni Ezekias, 'Daytoy nga aldaw ket aldaw ti panagsagaba, pannakatubngar, ken pannakaibabain, kas iti tiempo a dandanin a maipasngay ti maysa a maladaga, ngem awan ti pigsa ti ina a mangipasngay iti anakna.
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 Nalabit a denggen ni Yahweh a Diosmo dagiti sasao ti panguloen a mangidadaulo, nga imbaon ti ari ti Asiria nga apona a mangkarit iti sibibiag a Dios, ket tubngarenna dagiti sasao a nangngeg ni Yahweh a Diosmo. Ita, ikararagam dagiti nabatbati nga adda pay laeng ditoy.”
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 Napan ngarud kenni Isaias dagiti adipen ni Ari Ezekias,
So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 ket kinuna ni Isaias kadakuada, “Ibagayo iti apoyo: 'Kuna ni Yahweh, “Saanka nga agbuteng kadagiti sasao a nangngegmo, a pananglais kaniak dagiti adipen ti ari ti Asiria.
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 Denggem, mangikabilak iti maysa nga espiritu kenkuana, ket makangngegto isuna iti damag ket agsubli isuna iti dagana. Ipapasagkonto isuna babaen iti kampilan iti bukodna a daga.'”
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 Kalpasanna, nagsubli ti panguloen a mangidadaulo ket nasarakanna ti ari ti Asiria a makigubgubat iti Libna, ta nangngegna a pimmanaw ti ari iti Lakis.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Ket nangngeg ni Senakerib a nagsagana a manggubat kenkuana ni Tirhaka nga ari ti Etiopia ken Egipto, isu a nangibaon manen isuna kadagiti mensahero kenni Ezekias, kastoy ti kuna ti mensahe:
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 “Ibagayo kenni Ezekias nga ari ti Juda, 'Saanmo nga ipalubos nga allilawennaka ti Diosmo a pagtaltalkam, a kunana, “Saan a maiyawat ti Jerusalem iti ima ti ari ti Asiria.”
“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 Kitaem, nangngegmo no ania ti inaramid dagiti ari ti Asiria kadagiti amin a dagdaga babaen iti naan-anay a panangdadaelda kadakuada. Isu a maispalkanto kadi?
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
12 Inispal kadi ida dagiti dios dagiti nasion, dagiti nasion a dinadael dagiti ammak: ti Gozan, Haran, Resef, ken dagiti tattao ti Eden idiay Telasar?
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 Sadino ti ayan ti ari ti Hamat, ti ari ti Arpad, ti ari dagiti siudad ti Sefarvaim, ti Hena, ken Ivva?'”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
14 Inawat ni Ezekias daytoy a surat manipud kadagiti mensahero ket binasana daytoy. Ket simmang-at isuna a napan iti balay ni Yahweh ket inukradna daytoy iti sangoanan ni Yahweh.
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 Nagkararag ni Ezekias kenni Yahweh:
Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
16 “O Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin, a Dios ti Israel, sika a nakatugaw iti ngatoen dagiti kerubim, sika laeng ti Dios a mangiturturay iti amin a pagarian iti lubong. Pinarsuam ti langit ken ti daga.
“LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned amongst the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
17 Ibaw-ingmo ti lapayagmo, O Yahweh, ket denggem. Luktam dagiti matam, O Yahweh, ket kitaem, ken denggem dagiti sasao ni Senakerib, nga impatulodna tapno laisenna ti sibibiag a Dios.
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 Pudno, O Yahweh, a dinadael dagiti ari ti Asiria dagiti amin a nasion ken dagiti dagada.
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
19 Pinuoranda dagiti dios dagidiay a nasion, ta saanda a dios no di ket aramid dagiti ima dagiti tattao, kayo ken bato laeng. Isu a dinadael ida dagiti taga-Asiria.
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 Isu nga ita, O Yahweh a Diosmi, isalakannakami manipud iti pannakabalinna, tapno maammoan koma dagiti amin a pagarian iti lubong a sika laeng ti agmaymaysa a Yahweh.
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 Ket nangipatulod iti mensahe ni Isaias nga anak ni Amos kenni Ezekias, a kunana, “Kuna ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, 'Gapu ta nagkararagka kaniak maipapan kenni Senakerib nga ari ti Asiria,
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 daytoy ti sao nga imbaga ni Yahweh maipapan kenkuana: “Um-umsiennaka ti birhen nga anak ti Sion ken katkatawaannaka tapno laisennaka; iwingwingiwing iti anak ti Jerusalem ti ulona kenka.
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 Siasino kadi ti kinarit ken linaismo? Ken siasino kadi ti pinukkawam ken nangitangadam kadagiti matam a sitatangsit? Iti Nasantoan ti Israel.
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 Babaen kadagiti adipenmo, kinaritmo ti Apo ket kinunam, ‘Simmang-atak kadagiti nangangato a tapaw dagiti bantay a kaduak dagiti adu a karwahek, iti kangatoan a disso ti Lebanon. Pukanekto dagiti natayag a sedro daytoy ken dagiti kasasayaatan a kayo ti saleng sadiay, ken sumrekakto iti kaadaywan a nangato a disso, ti nabunga a bakir daytoy.
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 Nangkaliak kadagiti bubon ken imminumak iti danum dagiti gangganaet; pinatianak dagiti amin a karayan ti Egipto iti dapan dagiti sakak.'
I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
26 Saanmo kadi a nangngeg no kasano nga inkeddengko daytoy idi un-una a panawen ken no kasano nga inaramidko daytoy idi un-una a tiempo? Ita, ipatpatungpalko daytoy. Addaka ditoy tapno pagbalinen a gabsuon dagiti narba dagiti siudad a narigat a maraut.
“‘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 Dagiti agnanaed kadagitoy, a nakapsut ket mariribukan ken mapababainan. Kaslada kadagiti mulmula iti tay-ak, nalangto a ruot, ti ruot iti atep wenno iti tay-ak, a magango no puk-oyan ti napudot nga angin manipud iti daya.
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 Ngem ammok ti panagtugawmo, ti panagruarmo, ti panagserrekmo, ken ti panagpungtotmo kaniak.
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
29 Gapu iti panagpungtotmo kaniak, ken gapu ta dimmanun kadagiti lapayagko ti kinatangsitmo, ikabilkonto ti kaw-itko iti agongmo, ken busalankanto; isublikanto iti isu met laeng a dalan nga immayam.”
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 Daytoyto ti pagilasinam: Iti daytoy a tawen, mangankayonto kadagiti balang, ken iti maikadua a tawen ket ti agsaringit manipud iti dayta. Ngem iti maikatlo a tawen, masapul nga agmula ken agapitkayo, agmulakayo kadagiti ubas ket kanenyo dagiti bungada.
“‘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 Ti nabati a nakalasat iti balay ti Juda ket agramutto manen ken agbunga.
The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 Ta rummuarto dagiti nabati manipud iti Jerusalem; rummuarto dagiti nakalasat manipud iti Bantay Sion.' Aramidento daytoy iti regta ni Yahweh a Mannakabalin-amin.”
For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.’
33 Ngarud, kastoy ti kuna ni Yahweh maipapan iti ari ti Asiria: “Saanto isuna a sumrek iti daytoy a siudad, wenno mangibiat iti pana ditoy. Ken saanto isuna nga umay iti sangoanan daytoy nga addaan iti kalasag wenno mangaramid iti pagbatayanna a manglakub iti daytoy.
“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 Ti dalan a nagnaanna nga immay ket isunto met laeng ti dalan a pagnaanna a pumanaw; saan isuna a sumrek iti daytoy a siudad. Daytoy ti pakaammo ni Yahweh.
He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.
35 Ta salaknibakto ken ispalekto daytoy a siudad, gapu kaniak ken gapu kenni David nga adipenko.”
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
36 Kalpasanna, rimmuar ti anghel ni Yahweh ket rinautna ti kampo dagiti taga-Asiria, pinatayna ti 185, 000 a mannakigubat. Idi bimmangon dagiti tattao iti parbangon, agkakaiwara dagiti bangkay.
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 Isu a pimmanaw ni Senakerib nga ari ti Asiria iti Israel ket nagawid ken nagtalinaed iti Nineve.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
38 Saan a nagbayag, kabayatan nga agdaydayaw isuna iti balay ni Nisroc a diosna, pinatay isuna dagiti annakna a ni Adramalec ken ni Sarazer babaen iti kampilan. Ket naglibasda a napan iti daga ti Ararat. Ket ni Esarhadon nga anakna ti nagturay a kas ari a simmukat kenkuana.
As he was worshipping 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.
