< Isaia 37 >

1 Aa ie nahajanjiñe izay t’Iekiz­kia, le rinia’e o siki’eo naho nisaron-gony vaho nimoak’ añ’an­jomba’ Iehovà ao.
And it came to pass when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his garments, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 Nirahe’e mb’am’ Iesaià mpitoky ana’ i Amotse amy zao t’i Eliakime mpifeleke i anjombay, naho i Sebnà mpanokitse naho o zokem-pisoroñeo songa nisaron-gony.
And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz.
3 Le hoe ty enta’ iareo ama’e: Hoe t’Iekizkia: Androm-poheke naho trevoke vaho teratera ty andro toy; fa antitotse ho samake o ajajao fe tsy eo ty haozarañe hahatoly.
And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of reviling; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 He ho janjiñe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o o saontsi’ i Rabsakè nañiraham-panjaka’ i Asore tale’eo hanigike an’ Andrianañahare veloñe, vaho hendaha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o i saontsy jinanji’ey; ehe mihalalia ho amy ze sehanga’e mbe eo.
It may be Jehovah thy God will hear the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah thy God hath heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 Aa le nivo­trak’ am’ Iesaià eo o mpitoro’ Iekizkiao.
And the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Le hoe t’Iesaià am’ iareo: Zao ty ho saontsie’ areo amy tale’ areoy: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: ko hembañ’ amo entañe jinanji’oo, amo niteratera’ o mpitoro’ i Mpanjaka’ i Asoreo Ahikoo.
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Inao te hajoko ama’e ty fañahy, le hijanjiñe tolom-boetse naho himpoly an-tane’e añe vaho hampikorovoheko am-pibara an-tane’e ao.
Behold, I will put a spirit into him, and he shall hear tidings, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Aa le nibalike mb’eo t’i Rabsakè, vaho zoe’e nifañotake amy Libnà ty mpanjaka’ i Asore, fa tsinano’e t’ie nienga i Lakise.
And Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Le hoe ty jinanji’e ty amy Tirhakà, mpanjaka’ i Kose, Miavotse mb’etoa re hialy ama’o. Ie jinanji’e izay le nañitrike am’ Iekizkia ty hoe:
And he heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Ty hoe ty ho saontsie’ areo am’ Iekizkia mpanjaka’ Iehodà: Asoao tsy henga’o hanigìke azo t’i Andrianañahare iatoa’o, hanao ty hoe: Tsy hatolo­tse am-pitàm-panjaka’ i Asore t’Ierosalaime.
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying: Let not thy God, upon whom thou reliest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Inao, tsy jinanji’o hao ty nanoa’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo amo hene taneo? ie nampangotomomohe’e; aa havo­tsotse hao nahareo?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all countries, destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Fa rinomban-drahare’e hao o rinotsan-droaekoo: i Gozane naho i Harane, naho i Retsefe vaho o ana’ i Edene e Telasareo?
Have the gods of the nations which my fathers have destroyed delivered them, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden that were in Thelassar?
13 Aia ty mpanjaka’ i Kamàte naho ty mpanjaka’ i Arpade naho ty mpanjakan-drova’ i Sefarvaime, ty a i Henà vaho Ivà?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
14 Aa ie rinambe’ Iekizkià i taratasy am-pità’ o nampihitrifeñeoy naho vinaki’e; le nionjomb’ añ’ anjomba’ Iehovà mb’eo t’Iekizkia, vaho vinela’e añatrefa’ Iehovà.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it; and Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 Nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’Iekizkia ami’ty hoe:
And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,
16 Ry Iehovà’ i Màroy, Andrianañahare’ Israele, mpiambesatse ambone’ o kerobeo; Ihe ro Andrianañahare, Ihe avao, amy ze kila fifeleha’ ty tane toy; ry Andrianamboats’ i likerañey naho ty tane toy.
Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who sittest [between] the cherubim, thou, the Same, thou alone art the God of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made the heavens and the earth.
17 Atokilaño ty ravembia’o ry Iehovà naho janjiño; abolanaho o fihaino’oo ry Iehovà vaho vazohò; inao ze hene enta’ i Senkeribe, nahitri’e hañinje an’ Andrianañahare veloñe.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open, Jehovah, thine eyes, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 O ry Iehovà, Toe fonga nampangoakoahe’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo o fifeheañeo naho o tane’ iareoo,
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the lands, and their countries,
19 vaho naretsa’ iareo añ’afo ao o ndrahare’ iareoo amy t’ie tsy Andrianañahare, fa sata-pità’ ondaty, hatae naho vato; aa le finongo’e.
and have cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
20 Ie henaneo ry Iehovà Andria­nañahare’ay, rombaho am-pità’e zahay, soa te ho fohi’ ze kila fifeleha’ ty tane toy te Ihe ro Iehovà, Ihe avao.
And now, Jehovah our God, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Jehovah, thou only.
21 Aa le nahitri’ Iesaià ana’ i Amotse am’ Iekizkia ty hoe: Hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele: Amy te ihe ro nihalaly amako ty amy Senkeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore,
And Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22 le hoe ty tsara nafè’ Iehovà ama’e: Fa nanirika azo i anak’ ampela’ i Tsioney, nitohafa’e an-drabioñe; vaho nikofikofi-doha amboho’o ao i anak’ ampela’ Ierosalaimey.
this is the word which Jehovah hath spoken against him: The virgin-daughter of Zion despiseth thee, laugheth thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem shaketh her head at thee.
23 Ia ty sinigì’o naho tineratera’o? Ia ty nañonjona’o feo? Toe nampiandrae’o mañambone ey o maso’oo, hiatreatrea’o t’i Masi’ Israele!
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted the voice? Against the Holy One of Israel hast thou lifted up thine eyes on high.
24 O mpitoro’oo ty nañamavoa’o i Talè, ami’ty hoe: Amo hatsifotofoton-tsaretekoo ty nitroarako ankaboa’ o vohitseo, an-tsifitsifi’ i Lebanone ao; fonga finirako ze mendoraveñe abo; naho ze akao soa; nizilihako i haboañe lavitse ama’ey, ty ala-vondro an-goloboñe kobokara.
By thy servants thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the recesses of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, the choice of its cypresses; and I will enter into its furthest height, [into] the forest of its fruitful field.
25 Nihaly iraho vaho ninon-drano, le ami’ty lelam-pandiako ty nañamaihako ze hene saka’ i Mitsraime.
I have digged and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the streams of Matsor.
26 Mboe tsy jinanji’o hao? Tsietoimoneñe izay ty nisafiriako taolo añe t’ie naereñereko; ie o tafetetse henaneo; te hafotetse ho kivotrevotre mangoakoake o rova nifatrareñeo.
Hast thou not heard that long ago I did it, and that from ancient days I formed it? Now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
27 Aa le ni-kede ozatse o mpimone’eo, niampoheke vaho nisalatse, nanahake ty ahetse an-kivoke ey, hoe rongoñe antsetra, hoe ahetse ambone anjomba, mae t’ie mbe tsy matoe.
And their inhabitants were powerless, they were dismayed and put to shame; they were [as] the grass of the field and the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and grain blighted before it be grown up.
28 Fe apotako o fiambesa’oo, naho o fiavota’oo, o fimoaha’oo vaho o famantsiña’o amakoo.
But I know thine abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
29 Aa kanao nitazataza’o, naho nañambone mb’amo sofiko toañe ty korà’o, le hanoeko am-piantsoña’o ao ty porengoko, naho am-pivimbi’o ty laboridiko, vaho hampolieko mb’amy lalañe nomba’o mb’etoañey.
Because thy raging against me and thine arrogance is come up into mine ears, I will put my ring in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will make thee go back by the way by which thou camest.
30 Le zao ty ho viloñe ama’o: hikama o raha mitiry avao nahareo ami’ty taoñe toy; le ze mijirike ama’e ami’ty taom-paharoe; le mitongisa ami’ty taom-pahatelo naho manataha, amboleo valoboke vaho ikamao ty voka’e.
And this [shall be] the sign unto thee: there shall be eaten this year such as groweth of itself; and in the second year that which springeth of the same; but in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit thereof.
31 Le hamahatse mañambane ty hengaha’ i anjomba’ Iehodày, vaho hamoa mañambone.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward;
32 Fa boake Ierosalaime ao ty hiavota’ ty honka’e vaho hirik’ am-bohi-Tsione o mahafibotàfotseo; ho henefe’ ty fahimbaña’ Iehovà’ i Màroy.
for out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that escape: the zeal of Jehovah of hosts shall do this.
33 Aa le hoe t’Iehovà ty amy Mpanjaka’ i Asorey: tsy himoake an-drova atoy re, ndra hitifitse ana-pale, tsy hiatrefa’e am-pikalañe ndra hampitoabora’e votren-tane.
Therefore thus saith Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a bank against it.
34 I lalañe nomba’e mb’etoañey, ty himpolia’e mb’eo, tsy himoake ami’ty rova toy re, hoe t’Iehovà
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Jehovah.
35 Fa harovako naho ho rombaheko ty amako ty rova toy, vaho ty amy mpitoroko Davidey.
And I will defend this city, to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
36 Aa le nionjom-beo ty anjeli’ Iehovà nanjamañe ty Rai-hetse-tsi-valo-ale-tsi-lime arivo an-tobe’ o nte-Asoreo; le ie nivañoñe maraindray t’indaty, hehe te fonga nidondom-pate ty ey.
And an angel of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead bodies.
37 Niavotse amy zao t’i Senkeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore, nimpoly vaho nitoboke e Ninevèy ao.
And Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and abode at Nineveh.
38 Le teo t’ie niloloke añ’ anjomba’ i Nisroke ndrahare’e ao, te namatsik’ aze am-pibara ty Adrameleke naho i Sarezere ana’e vaho nifiotse mb’ an-tane Ararate añe. I Esar-kadone ana’e ty nandimbe aze ho mpifeleke.
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 Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead.
