Isaia 37
1 Ary raha nandre izany Hezekia mpanjaka, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany izy sady nitafy lamba fisaonana ka lasa niditra tao an-tranon’ i Jehovah,
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
2 ary izy naniraka an’ i Eliakima, lehiben’ ny tao an-dapa, sy Sebna mpanoratra ary ny lohan’ ny mpisorona, samy nitafy lamba fisaonana avokoa, hankany amin’ Isaia mpaminany, zanak’ i Amoza,
And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 ary nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Hezekia: Andro fahoriana sy famaizana ary fanalam-baraka ity andro ity; fa mby ao am-piterahana ny zaza, nefa tsy misy hery hiterahana azy.
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
4 Angamba ho ren’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny tenin-dRabsake, izay nirahin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria tompony hihaika an’ Andriamanitra velona, ka mba hovaliany izy noho ny teny izay efa ren’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; koa aingao ny fivavakao hamonjy izay mbola sisa.
It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 Dia nankany amin’ Isaia ny mpanompon’ i Hezekia mpanjaka.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Ary hoy Isaia taminy: Ambarao amin’ ny tomponareo hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Aza matahotra ny teny efa renao, dia izay nanompan’ iretsy ankizilahin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria iretsy Ahy.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Fa, indro, Izaho efa hanisy fanahy ao anatiny, ary hahare siosio izy, ka hiverina ho any amin’ ny taniny; dia hataoko lavon-tsabatra any an-taniny izy.
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Dia niverina Rabsake ka nankany Libna, izay nataon’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria fahirano tamin’ izay; satria efa reny fa efa niala tany Lakisy ny mpanjaka.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 Ary ren’ i Sankeriba ny amin’ i Tiraka, mpanjakan’ i Etiopia, nanao hoe: Avy hiady aminao izy; ary nony nandre izany izy, dia naniraka olona ho any amin’ i Hezekia nanao hoe:
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Izao no holazainareo amin’ i Hezekia, mpanjakan’ ny Joda: Aza mety hofitahin’ ny Andriamanitrao Izay itokianao ianao hoe: Jerosalema tsy hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria.
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, 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 Indro, ianao efa nandre izay nataon’ ireo mpanjakan’ i Asyria tamin’ ny tany rehetra, dia ny nandravany azy; ka ianao kosa va no ho voavonjy?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Moa nahavonjy azy va ireo andriamanitry ny firenena noravan’ ny razako, dia Gozana sy Harana sy Razefa ary ny taranak’ i Edena izay tao Telasara?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which [were] in Telassar?
13 Aiza ny mpanjakan’ i Hamata sy ny mpanjakan’ i Arpada sy ny mpanjakan’ ny tanàna Sefarvaima sy Hena ary Iva?
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
14 Dia noraisin’ i Hezekia tamin’ ny tanan’ ny iraka ny taratasy ka novakiny, dia niakatra nankao an-tranon’ i Jehovah izy ka namelatra iny teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 Ary Hezekia nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah nanao hoe:
And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
16 Ry Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro ô, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, Izay mipetraka amin’ ny kerobima, Hianao dia Hianao ihany no Andriamanitry ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany; Hianao no nanao ny lanitra sy ny tany.
O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the cherubims, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
17 Atongilano ny sofinao, Jehovah ô, ka mihainoa; ahirato ny masonao, Jehovah ô, ka mijere; ary mihainoa ny teny rehetra izay nampitondrain’ i Sankeriba hihaika an’ Andriamanitra velona.
Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 Jehovah ô, marina ihany tokoa fa ireo mpanjakan’ i Asyria dia efa nandrava ny firenena rehetra sy ny taniny
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
19 ary efa nanary ny andriamaniny tao anaty afo, satria tsy Andriamanitra ireny, fa asan’ ny tànan’ olona ihany, dia hazo sy vato, ka dia azony nosimbana.
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 Koa ankehitriny, Jehovah Andriamanitray ô, vonjeo amin’ ny tànany izahay, mba hahafantaran’ ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany fa Hianao ry ihany no Jehovah.
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD, [even] thou only.
21 Ary Isaia, zanak’ i Amoza, dia naniraka hankany amin’ i Hezekia nanao hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Ny amin’ ilay fitarainana nataonao tamiko ny amin’ i Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria,
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
22 dia izao no teny nolazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ i Sankeriba: Manao tsinontsinona sy mandatsalatsa anao Ziona, zanakavavy virijina; Mihifikifi-doha mahita anao mandositra Jerosalema zanakavavy.
This [is] the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
23 Fa iza no nohaikainao sy nompanao? Ary hanohitra an’ iza no nanandratanao ny feonao sy nampiandrandranao ny masonao any ambony? Hanohitra ny Iray Masin’ ny Isiraely.
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Ny mpanomponao no nihaikanao ny Tompo hoe: Tamin’ ny kalesiko maro no niakarako tany an-tampon’ ny tendrombohitra, tao afovoan’ i Libanona; Ary hokapaiko ny sedera avo sy ny kypreso voafantina, dia hiditra any amin’ ny faran’ ny azo iakarana ao aho sy any amin’ ny alany midokadoka,
By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, [and] the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, [and] the forest of his Carmel.
25 Izaho no nihady ka nisotro rano, Ary ny faladiako no handritako ny lahin-drano rehetra any Egypta.
I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
26 Tsy mbola renao va, hoy Jehovah, fa hatry ny fony ela no nanomanako izany, ary hatramin’ ny andro taloha no nikasako izany? Ankehitriny dia efa nahatanteraka izany Aho ka dia nandrava tanàna mimanda ho tonga korontam-bato.
Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have done it; [and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities [into] ruinous heaps.
27 Ary efa tsy nahatohitra ny mponina any, sady raiki-tahotra no nangaihay. Efa tahaka ny ahitra any an-tsaha izy, ary tahaka ny ahi-maitso sy ny ahitra eo amin’ ny tampon-trano. Ary tahaka ny vary maty raha vao mitsiry.
Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and [as corn] blasted before it be grown up.
28 Fa samy fantatro avokoa ny ipetrahanao sy ny ivoahanao sy ny idiranao ary ny fahatezeranao amiko.
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
29 Satria efa tezitra amiko ianao, ary efa tonga ato an-tsofiko ny fireharehanao, dia hasiako ny masom-biko ny oronao ary hasiako ny lamboridiko ny vavanao, ary hampivereniko amin’ ny lalana izay nihavianao ianao.
Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
30 Ary izao no ho famantarana ho anao kosa: Hihinana ny maniry ho azy amin’ ity taona ity ianareo; ary amin’ ny taona manaraka dia ny kolokolon’ izany, fa amin’ ny taona fahatelo kosa dia mamafaza ianareo, ka mijinjà, ary manaova tanim-boaloboka, ka mihinàna izay vokatra eo.
And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat [this] year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 Ary izay sisa amin’ ny taranak’ i Joda dia mbola hamaka lalindalina kokoa sady hisondrotra hamoa.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 Fa hisy sisa hiseho avy any Jerosalema sy sisa afaka avy any an-tendrombohitra Ziona ny fahasaro-piaron’ i Jehovah, Tompon’ ny maro, no hanao izany.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
33 Koa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah ny amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Asyria: Tsy ho tafiditra amin’ ity tanàna ity izy, na handefa zana-tsipìka ho ato, na hitondra ampinga eo anoloany, na hanandratra tovon-tany hamelezany azy.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
34 Ny lalana izay nihaviany ihany no hiverenany, fa tsy ho tafiditra amin’ ity tanàna ity izy, hoy Jehovah.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
35 Fa hiaro ity tanàna ity Aho ka hamonjy azy noho ny amin’ ny tenako sy Davida mpanompoko.
For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Dia avy Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah ka namely olona dimy arivo amby valo alina sy iray hetsy tao an-tobin’ ny Asyriana; ary nony maraina koa vao nifoha olona, dia hita fa, indreo, efa maty avokoa ireo.
Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
37 Dia niainga Sankeriba, mpanjakan’ i Asyria, ka lasa nody ary nitoetra tany Ninive.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 Ary raha niankohoka tao an-tranon’ i Nisroka andriamaniny izy, dia nokapain’ i Adrameleka sy Sarezera zananilahy ny sabatra izy; ary dia afaka nandositra ho any amin’ ny tany Ararata izy mirahalahy; ary Esara-hadona zananilahy no nanjaka nandimby azy.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
