Isaia 37
1 Aa ie nahajanjiñe izay t’Iekizkia, le rinia’e o siki’eo naho nisaron-gony vaho nimoak’ añ’anjomba’ Iehovà ao.
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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:
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 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 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 Inao, tsy jinanji’o hao ty nanoa’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo amo hene taneo? ie nampangotomomohe’e; aa havotsotse hao nahareo?
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you 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, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who 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 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.
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 Nihalaly am’ Iehovà t’Iekizkia ami’ty hoe:
Hezekiah prayed to 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.
“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 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.
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 O ry Iehovà, Toe fonga nampangoakoahe’ o mpanjaka’ i Asoreo o fifeheañeo naho o tane’ iareoo,
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
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, 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 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 to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have 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 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 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 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 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 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 Nihaly iraho vaho ninon-drano, le ami’ty lelam-pandiako ty nañamaihako ze hene saka’ i Mitsraime.
I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
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.
“‘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 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 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 Fe apotako o fiambesa’oo, naho o fiavota’oo, o fimoaha’oo vaho o famantsiña’o amakoo.
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your 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 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 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.
“‘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 Le hamahatse mañambane ty hengaha’ i anjomba’ Iehodày, vaho hamoa mañambone.
The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will 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 a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform 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 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 I lalañe nomba’e mb’etoañey, ty himpolia’e mb’eo, tsy himoake ami’ty rova toy re, hoe t’Iehovà
He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says 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 my 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 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 Niavotse amy zao t’i Senkeribe mpanjaka’ i Asore, nimpoly vaho nitoboke e Ninevèy ao.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
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.
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.
