2 Mootota 19
1 Hisqiyaas mootichi yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaasee wayyaa gaddaas uffatee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seene.
And when king Hezekiah had heard this, he tore his garments, and he covered himself with sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.
2 Innis Eliiyaaqiim bulchaa masaraa mootummaa, Shebnaa barreessaa fi luboota dura buʼoota hundi isaanii wayyaa gaddaa uffatan Isaayyaas raajicha ilma Amoos sanatti erge.
And he sent Eliakim, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and the elders from the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
3 Isaanis akkana jedhanii isatti himan; “Hisqiyaas akkana jedha; Guyyaan kun akkuma yeroo daaʼimni tokko dhalachuu gaʼee garuu dubartiin humna ittiin ciniinsifattee deessu dhabduutti guyyaa lubbamuu, kan dheekkamsaatii fi kan salphinaa ti.
And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. The sons are ready to be born, but the woman in labor does not have the strength.
4 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dubbii ajajaa waraanaa kan gooftaan isaa mootichi Asoor akka inni Waaqa jiraataatti qoosuuf erge sanaa hunda dhagaʼee dubbii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dhagaʼe sanaaf jedhee isatti dheekkama taʼa. Kanaafuu ati hambaawwan hamma ammaatti jiraniif kadhadhu.”
Perhaps the Lord, your God, may hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, sent so that he would reproach the living God, and rebuke with words, which the Lord, your God, has heard. And so, offer a prayer on behalf of the remnant that has been found.”
5 Yommuu qondaaltonni Hisqiyaas mootichaa gara Isaayyaas dhufanitti,
And the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.
6 Isaayyaas akkana isaaniin jedhe; “Akkana jedhaa gooftaa keessanitti himaa; ‘Waaqayyo akkana jedha: Ati waan dhageesse jechuunis dubbii garboonni mootii Asoor ittiin na arrabsan sana hin sodaatin.
And Isaiah said to them: “So shall you say to your lord. Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid before the face of the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.
7 Dhaggeeffadhaa! Ani akka inni oduu wayii dhagaʼee gara biyya ofii isaatti deebiʼuuf hafuura tokko isa keessa nan kaaʼa; achittis akka inni goraadeedhaan ajjeefamu nan godha.’”
Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a report, and he will return to his own land. And I will bring him down by the sword in his own land.”
8 Ajajaan waraanaas yommuu akka mootiin Asoor Laakkiishii baʼee deeme dhagaʼetti, duubatti deebiʼee utuu mootichi Libnaa lolaa jiruu argate.
Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had withdrawn from Lachish.
9 Senaaheriibis akka Tiirhaaq mootichi Itoophiyaa sun isa loluuf dhufaa jiru dhagaʼe. Kanaafuu inni akkana jedhee amma illee Hisqiyaasitti ergamoota erge;
And when he had heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia, saying, “Behold, he has gone out so that he may fight against you,” and when he went forth against him, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
10 “Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatiin akkana jedhaa: Waaqni ati abdattu sun, ‘Yerusaalem dabarfamtee harka mootii Asooritti hin kennamtu’ jedhee si hin gowwoomsin.
“So shall you say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom you trust, lead you astray. And you should not say, ‘Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
11 Ati waan mootonni Asoor guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessuudhaan biyyoota hunda godhan dhageesseerta. Ati immoo ni haftaa ree?
For you yourself have heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands, the manner in which they have laid waste to them. Therefore, how would you alone be able to be freed?
12 Waaqonni saboota abbootiin koo barbadeessan sanaa jechuunis waaqonni Goozaan, waaqonni Kaaraan, waaqonni Rezefii fi waaqonni namoota Eden kanneen Telaasaar keessa turan sanaa isaan oolchaniiruu?
Have the gods of the nations freed any of those whom my fathers have destroyed, such as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were at Telassar?
13 Mootiin Hamaati, mootiin Arfaad, mootiin magaalaa Seefarwaayim yookaan mootiin Heenaa yookaan mootiin Iwaa eessa jira?”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena, and of Avva?”
14 Hisqiyaasis ergamoota sana harkaa xalayaa fuudhee dubbifate. Ergasiis gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼee xalayaa sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti diriirse.
And so, when Hezekiah had received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he ascended to the house of the Lord, and he spread it out before the Lord.
15 Hisqiyaas akkana jedhee Waaqayyoon kadhate; “Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Israaʼel, kan kiirubeel gidduu teessoo irra jirtu, si qofatu mootummoota lafaa hunda irratti Waaqa. Ati samii fi lafa uumteerta.
And he prayed in his sight, saying: “O Lord, God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, you alone are God, over all the kings of the earth. You made heaven and earth.
16 Yaa Waaqayyo, gurra kee as qabiitii dhagaʼi; yaa Waaqayyo ija kees banadhuu ilaali; dubbii Senaaheriib kan inni Waaqa jiraataa arrabsuuf erge kana dhaggeeffadhu.
Incline your ear, and listen. Open your eyes, O Lord, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, who sent so that he might reproach the living God before us.
17 “Yaa Waaqayyo mootonni Asoor saboota kanaa fi biyyoota isaanii balleessuun dhugaa dha.
Truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have devastated all peoples and lands.
18 Isaan waaqota jaraa ibiddatti naqanii barbadeessaniiru; waaqonni sun mukaa fi dhagaa harka namaatiin soofaman turan malee waaqota hin turreetii.
And they have cast their gods into the fire. For they were not gods, but instead were the works of men’s hands, out of wood and stone. And so they destroyed them.
19 Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya, akka mootummoonni lafaa hundinuu yaa Waaqayyo, akka ati qofti Waaqa taate beekaniif harka isaatii nu baasi.”
Now therefore, O Lord our God, bring us salvation from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord God.”
20 Sana booddee Isaayyaas ilmi Amoos akkana jedhee Hisqiyaasitti ergaa erge: “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: Ani kadhaa kee kan ati waaʼee Senaaheriib mooticha Asoor kadhatte sana dhagaʼeera.
Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I have heard what you beseeched from me, concerning Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians.
21 Dubbiin Waaqayyo isaan mormuudhaan dubbate kunoo kanaa dha: “‘Intalli Xiyoon Durbi Qulqullittiin si tuffattee sitti qoosti. Intalli Yerusaalem yeroo ati baqattutti mataa ishee sitti raafti.
This is the word that the Lord has spoken about him: The virgin daughter of Zion has spurned and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind your back.
22 Kan ati itti qoostee arrabsite sun eenyu? Ati eenyutti sagalee kee ol fudhattee of tuulummaadhaan ija ol qabatte? Qulqullichuma Israaʼel sanatti mitii!
Whom have you reproached, and whom have you blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 Ati karaa ergamoota keetiitiin Gooftaatti qoosteerta. Ati akkanas jetteerta; “Ani gaariiwwan koo hedduudhaan fiixee tulluuwwaniitti, fiixee Libaanoon kan akka malee ol dheeratuttis ol baʼeera. Ani birbirsawwan isaa kanneen akka malee dhedheeroo, gaattiraawwan isaa filatamoo sanas ciccireera. Ani iddoowwan isaa kanneen akka malee ol fagoo, bosonoota isaa keessaa, mimmiidhagoo qaqqabeera.
By the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord, and you have said: ‘By the multitude of my chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the summit of Lebanon. And I have cut down its sublime cedars, and its elect spruce trees. And I have entered even to its limits. And its forest of Carmel,
24 Ani biyya ormaatti boolla bishaanii qotadhee achitti bishaan dhugeera. Ani faana miilla kootiin lageen biyya Gibxi hunda gogseera.”
I have cut down. And I drank foreign waters, and I dried up all the enclosed waters with the steps of my feet.’
25 “‘Ati waan kana hin dhageenyee? Bara dheeraan dura anatu waan kana hojjete. Ani bara durii keessa waan kana nan karoorfadhe; amma immoo hojii irra oolfadheera; kunis akka ati magaalaawwan dallaa jabaa qaban diigdee tuullaa dhagaa geeddartuu dha.
But have you not heard what I have done from the beginning? From the days of antiquity, I have formed it, and now I have brought it to be. And fortified cities of fighting men will become piles of ruins.
26 Namoonni isaanii humna dhabanii abdii kutataniis qaanaʼan. Isaan akkuma biqiltuu diidaa, akkuma biqiltuu kichuu tokkoo, akkuma marga mana gubbaatti biqilu kan utuu hin guddatin gubatee ti.
And whoever may settle in these, they have trembled, with a weak hand, and they have been confounded. They have become like the hay of the field, and like weeds sprouting on the rooftops, which dry up before they reached maturity.
27 “‘Ani garuu lafa ati jirtu, yoom akka dhuftuu fi yoom akka deemtu, akka ati akka malee natti aartu illee nan beeka.
Your habitation, and your exit, and your entrance, and your way, I knew beforehand, along with your fury against me.
28 Waan ati akka malee natti aartee guggubattee of tuulummaan kee gurra koo gaʼeef, ani hokkoo koo funyaan kee keessa, luugama koo afaan kee keessa kaaʼeen akka ati karuma dhufte sana deebitu sin godha.’
You have been maddened against me, and your arrogance has ascended to my ears. And so, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will lead you back along the way by which you came.
29 “Yaa Hisqiyaas kun mallattoo siif taʼa: “Isin waggaa kana waan ofumaan biqilu, waggaa lammaffaatti immoo waanuma isa irraa latu nyaattu. Waggaa sadaffaatti garuu facaafadhaa galfadhaa; muka wayiniis dhaabbadhaatii ija isaa nyaadhaa.
But as for you, Hezekiah, this shall be a sign: Eat this year whatever you will find, and in the second year, whatever may spring up of itself. But in the third year, sow and reap; plant vineyards, and eat from their fruit.
30 Ammas hambaan mootummaa Yihuudaa tokko jalaan hidda baafatee gubbaan immoo ija naqata.
And whatever will have been left behind, from the house of Judah, shall send a root downward, and shall bear fruit upward.
31 Yerusaalem keessaa hambaan tokko, Tulluu Xiyooniitii immoo gareen warra badiisa jalaa baʼe tokkoo ni dhufa. Hinaaffaan Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu waan kana ni raawwata:
Indeed, a remnant shall go forth from Jerusalem, and what may be saved shall go forth from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish this.
32 “Kanaafuu Waaqayyo waaʼee mooticha Asoor akkana jedha: “‘Inni magaalaa kana hin seenu yookaan xiyya tokko illee asitti hin darbatu. Inni gaachana qabatee fuula isaa duratti hin dhiʼaatu yookaan tuullaa biyyoo itti hin marsu.
For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He shall not enter into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with the shield, nor encircle it with fortifications.
33 Inni karuma dhufe sanaan ni deebiʼa; magaalaa kanas hin seenu, jedha Waaqayyo.
By the way that he came, so shall he return. And he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
34 Anis sababii ofii kootii fi sababii garbicha koo Daawitiif jedhee, magaalaa kana nan eega; nan oolchas.’”
And I will protect this city, and I will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”
35 Halkanuma sana ergamaan Waaqayyoo gad baʼee qubata warra Asoor keessatti nama kuma dhibba tokkoo fi saddeettamii shan fixe. Yommuu namoonni guyyaa itti aanu ganama bariin kaʼanitti kunoo reeffi namaa lafa guutee ture!
And so it happened that, in the same night, an Angel of the Lord went and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he had risen up, at first light, he saw all the bodies of the dead. And withdrawing, he went away.
36 Kanaafuu Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor qubata sana keessaa baʼee baqate; Nanawweetti deebiʼees achi jiraate.
And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, returned and dwelled in Nineveh.
37 Gaaf tokko utuu inni mana sagadaa waaqa isaa Nisrook jedhamuu keessatti waaqeffachaa jiruu ilmaan isaa Adramelekii fi Sharezer goraadeedhaan isa ajjeesanii biyya Araaraatitti baqatan. Ilmi isaa Eesarhadoonis iddoo isaa buʼee mootii taʼe.
And while he was worshipping in the temple of his god, Nisroch, his sons, Adram-melech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of the Armenians. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
