Isaiah 37
1 Ke na pacl se Tokosra Hezekiah el lohng ma elos fahk nu sel, el asor ac seya nuknuk lal, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac som nu in Tempul lun LEUM GOD.
And it cometh to pass, at the king Hezekiah's hearing, that he rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth, and entereth the house of Jehovah,
2 El supwalla Eliakim, mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim lun inkul fulat; ac mwet matu inmasrlon mwet tol nu yorol mwet palu Isaiah wen natul Amoz. Elos wi pac nukum nuknuk yohk eoa.
and sendeth Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, unto Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet,
3 Pa inge kas ma el sap elos in tuh fahk nu sel Isaiah: “Misenge sie len in keok. Kalyeiyuk ac akmwekinyeyuk kut. Kut oana sie mutan su akola in isus tuh arulana munas in oswela.
and they say unto him, 'Thus said Hezekiah, A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for come have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bear.
4 Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el supwama sie mwet kol fulat lal in tuh fahk kas in akkolukye God moul. Lela LEUM GOD lom in lohng kas in akkoluk inge, ac kaelos su fahk kas inge. Ke ma inge, pre nu sin God ke mwet lasr su painmoulla.”
'It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear the words of Rabshakeh with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.'
5 Ke Isaiah el eis kas sel Tokosra Hezekiah inge,
And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah,
6 el folokunulosla ke top se inge: “Fahkang nu sel tokosra lah LEUM GOD El fahk mu elan tia lela mwet Assyria in aksangengyal ke kas in akkoluk ma elos fahk.
and Isaiah saith unto them, 'Thus do ye say unto your lord, Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
7 LEUM GOD El ac oru Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria elan lohngak sie sramsram ma ac oru elan folokla nu in facl sel sifacna, na LEUM GOD El ac oru elan anwuki we.”
Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a report, and hath turned back unto his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.'
8 Mwet kol fulat lun Assyria el lohngak lah Tokosra Fulat el som liki acn Lachish ac mweuni siti Libnah, su oan apkuran nu Lachish. Ouinge el som nu we in lolngok yorol.
And Rabshakeh turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath journeyed from Lachish.
9 Kas se sun mwet Assyria lah un mwet mweun lun Egypt, ye kolyuk lun Tokosra Tirhakah lun Ethiopia, ac tuku in mweunelos. Ke Tokosra Fulat sac lohngak ma inge el supwala leta se nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah
And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, 'He hath come out to fight with thee;' and he heareth, and sendeth messengers unto Hezekiah, saying,
10 lun Judah in tuh fahk nu sel, “God se ma kom lulalfongi kac el fahk nu sum mu kom ac tia sruhu sik, tusruktu nimet kom lela kas ingan in kiapwekomla.
'Thus do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
11 Kom lohng tari ma kutena tokosra fulat lun Assyria elos oru nu sin mutunfacl se elos sulela in kunausla. Ya kom nunku mu kom ku in kaingla?
Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands — to devote them — and thou art delivered!
12 Mwet matu luk somla elos kunausla siti lun Gozan, Haran, ac Rezeph, ac onela pac mwet Betheden su muta Telassar, a wangin god lalos tuh ku in molelosla.
Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed — Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in Telassar?
13 Pia tokosra lun siti Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, ac Ivvah?”
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?'
14 Tokosra Hezekiah el eisla leta sac sin mwet se ma use ah, ac riti. Na el som nu in Tempul, ac filiya leta sac ye mutun LEUM GOD,
And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and readeth them, and Hezekiah goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah.
15 ac pre,
And Hezekiah prayeth unto Jehovah, saying,
16 “O LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, su muta lucng liki cherub luo, kom mukena pa God su leumi tokosrai nukewa fin faclu. Kom orala kusrao ac faclu.
'Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou [art] God Himself — Thyself alone — to all kingdoms of the earth, Thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
17 Inge, LEUM GOD, lohng kut ac liye ma sikyak nu sesr. Porongo ma nukewa ma Sennacherib el fahk in akkolukye kom, God moul.
Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes and see; and hear Thou all the words of Sennacherib that he hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 O LEUM GOD, kut nukewa etu lah tokosra fulat lun acn Assyria elos tuh kunausla mutunfacl puspis, sukela acn selos,
'Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land,
19 ac esukak god lalos — su tia god pwaye, a ma sruloala ma poun mwet taflela ke eot ac sak.
so as to put their gods into fire — for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone — and they destroy them.
20 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD lasr, molikutla liki poun mwet Assyria, tuh mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu fah etu lah kom mukena pa God.”
And now, Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth do know that Thou [art] Jehovah, Thyself alone.'
21 Na Isaiah el supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah in fahk lah lohngyuk pre lal kacl Sennacherib, tokosra lun Assyria,
And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur —
22 ac LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge, “Siti Jerusalem isrun kom, Sennacherib, ac orek tafunkas keim.
this [is] the word that Jehovah spake concerning him: Trampled on thee, laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion, Behind thee shaken the head hath the daughter of Jerusalem.
23 Su kom nunku mu kom kaskou nu se, ku akkolukye uh? Kom arulana akpusiselyeyu, God Mutal lun Israel!
Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up the voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes Against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Kom supwama mwet tafweyom in tungak nu sik mu chariot puspis nutum oru kom fanukya fineol ma fulat liki nukewa in acn Lebanon. Kom konkin pac mu kom pakiya sak cedar ma fulat emeet ac sak cypress ma wo emeet we, ac kom som loallana nu insak uh.
By the hand of thy servants Thou hast reviled the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
25 Kom konkin pac mu kom pukanak lufin kof in acn sin mwetsac ac nim kof kac, oayapa falken mwet mweun lom lolongya Infacl Nile pulamlamla.
I — I have dug and drunk waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
26 “Ya kom soenna lohng lah nga nuna akoo ma inge ke pacl loeloes somla? Ac inge nga orala tari. Nga pa sot nu sum ku in ekulla siti potyak nu ke yol in kutkut.
Hast thou not heard from afar? — it I did, From days of old — that I formed it. Now, I have brought it in, And it is to make desolate, Ruinous heaps — fenced cities,
27 Mwet ma muta in acn ingo wangin ma elos ku in oru; elos sangeng ac fohsak. Elos oana mah inimae, ku mah ma kapak fin lohm uh ke pacl eng fol kutulap me tuhyak ac okla.
And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up. They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn, before it hath risen up.
28 “Tusruktu nga etu ma nukewa keim, ma kom oru ac yen kom ac som nu we. Nga etu lupan mongsa lom lainyu.
And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thy anger towards Me.
29 Nga lohng tari pungen kasrkusrak lom ac inse fulat lom, ac inge nga ac sang sie ring srumasrla infwem ac soko osra nu inwalum, ac amakin kom folokla ke innek soko na kom tuku kac.”
Because of thy anger towards Me, And thy noise — it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And I have caused thee to turn back In the way in which thou camest.
30 Na Isaiah el fahk nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah, “Pa inge sie akul ke ma ac fah sikyak. Yac se inge ac yac fahsru uh kom ac fah mongo wheat inima mukena, tusruktu ke yac se toko an kom ac fah ku in yukwiya wheat sunom ac kosrani pac kac, ac yukwiya oa in grape ac mongo grape kac.
— And this to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is] self-sown grain, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, And in the third year, sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 Elos su painmoulla in acn Judah elos ac kapak oana sak ma okah kac kapla loal nu infohk uh ac rukruk fahko.
And it hath continued — the escaped Of the house of Judah that hath been left — To take root beneath, And it hath made fruit upward.
32 Ac fah oasr mwet in Jerusalem ac fin Eol Zion su ac fah painmoulla, mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El wotela tari sel mu ac ouinge.
For from Jerusalem goeth forth a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.
33 “Ac pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria: ‘El ac fah tia utyak nu in siti se inge ku pisrikya sokofanna osra in pisr natul nu kac. Wangin mwet mweun su us mwe loeyuk ac fah tuku apkuran nu ke siti uh, oayapa ac fah wangin ma ac etoatyak elos in fanyak kac nu in siti uh.
Therefore, thus said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it [with] shield, Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.
34 El ac fah folokla ke inkanek soko na el tuku kac, ac tia utyak nu in siti se inge. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
In the way that he came, in it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, An affirmation of Jehovah,
35 Nga fah loango siti se inge ac liyaung ke sripen Inek sifacna, ac ke sripen wuleang su nga tuh orala nu sel David, mwet kulansap luk.’”
And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.'
36 Sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD som nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet mweun Assyria ac onela mwet mweun tausin siofok oalngoul limekosr. Toangna in len tok ah elos nukewa alapelik misa!
And a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are] dead corpses.
37 Na Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el tila mweun a el folokla nu Nineveh, yen sel.
And journey, and go, and turn back doth Sennacherib king of Asshur, and dwelleth in Nineveh.
38 Sie len ah ke el alu in tempul lun Nisroch, god lal, luo sin wen natul ah, Adrammelech ac Sharezer, unilya ke cutlass natultal, ac kaingla nu in facl Ararat. Esarhaddon, sie pac sin wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra fulat.
And it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
