< 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 clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the Lord.
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, unto Isaiah the prophet 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 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 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 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 Aa le nivo­trak’ am’ Iesaià eo o mpitoro’ Iekizkiao.
So 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 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 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 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 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.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was 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 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 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, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given 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 lands by 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 delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?
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 Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
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 unto the house of the Lord, and spread it before the Lord.
15 Nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’Iekizkia ami’ty hoe:
And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, 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.
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 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 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 O ry Iehovà, Toe fonga nampangoakoahe’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo o fifeheañeo naho o tane’ iareoo,
Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, 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: therefore 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.
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 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,
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 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 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 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 thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
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 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 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 rivers of the besieged places.
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 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 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.
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 Fe apotako o fiambesa’oo, naho o fiavota’oo, o fimoaha’oo vaho o famantsiña’o amakoo.
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage 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 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 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 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 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 they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord 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 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 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 the Lord.
35 Fa harovako naho ho rombaheko ty amako ty rova toy, vaho ty amy mpitoroko Davidey.
For 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.
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 Niavotse amy zao t’i Senkeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore, nimpoly vaho nitoboke e Ninevèy ao.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt 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 Armenia: and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
