2 Mootota 19
1 Hisqiyaas mootichi yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti uffata isaa tarsaasee wayyaa gaddaas uffatee mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyoo seene.
And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard, that he rent his clothes, —and covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of Yahweh;
2 Innis Eliiyaaqiim bulchaa masaraa mootummaa, Shebnaa barreessaa fi luboota dura buʼoota hundi isaanii wayyaa gaddaa uffatan Isaayyaas raajicha ilma Amoos sanatti erge.
and sent Eliakim who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, —unto Isaiah the prophet, 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 unto him—Thus, saith Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and rebuke, and reviling, is this day, —for children are come to the birth, and, strength, is there none to bring forth!
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.”
It may be that Yahweh thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his lord hath sent, to reproach a Living God, and will rebuke the words, which Yahweh thy God hath heard, —Wherefore lift thou up a prayer, for the remnant that remaineth.
5 Yommuu qondaaltonni Hisqiyaas mootichaa gara Isaayyaas dhufanitti,
So the servants of King Hezekiah came unto 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 unto them, Thus, shall ye, say, unto your lord, —Thus, saith Yahweh—Be not thou afraid, because of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled, 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 me! about to let go against him, a blast, and, when he heareth the report, then will he return to his own country, —and I will cause him to fall 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.
So Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, —for he had heard that he had broken up 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 heard say of Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, saying, Lo! he hath come forth to fight with thee, —then he again sent messengers unto Hezekiah, saying—
10 “Hisqiyaas mooticha Yihuudaatiin akkana jedhaa: Waaqni ati abdattu sun, ‘Yerusaalem dabarfamtee harka mootii Asooritti hin kennamtu’ jedhee si hin gowwoomsin.
Thus, shall ye, speak, unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying—Let not thy God in whom thou art trusting beguile thee, saying, —Jerusalem shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Ati waan mootonni Asoor guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessuudhaan biyyoota hunda godhan dhageesseerta. Ati immoo ni haftaa ree?
Lo! thou thyself, hast heard, what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, in devoting them to destruction, —and shalt, thou, be delivered?
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?
Did the gods of the nations, deliver them, whom my fathers destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, —and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were in Telassar?
13 Mootiin Hamaati, mootiin Arfaad, mootiin magaalaa Seefarwaayim yookaan mootiin Heenaa yookaan mootiin Iwaa eessa jira?”
Where are the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, —of Hena, and Ivvah?
14 Hisqiyaasis ergamoota sana harkaa xalayaa fuudhee dubbifate. Ergasiis gara mana qulqullummaa Waaqayyootti ol baʼee xalayaa sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti diriirse.
And, when Hezekiah had received the letter at the hand of the messengers, and had read it, then went he up to the house of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out before Yahweh.
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 Hezekiah prayed before Yahweh, and said, O Yahweh, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, thou thyself, art GOD, alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth, —thou, didst make the heavens and the 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.
Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear, and hear, Open, O Yahweh, thine eyes, and see, —yea hear thou the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent—To reproach a Living God!
17 “Yaa Waaqayyo mootonni Asoor saboota kanaa fi biyyoota isaanii balleessuun dhugaa dha.
Of a truth, O Yahweh, —the kings of Assyria have devoted to destruction the nations and their lands;
18 Isaan waaqota jaraa ibiddatti naqanii barbadeessaniiru; waaqonni sun mukaa fi dhagaa harka namaatiin soofaman turan malee waaqota hin turreetii.
and have put their gods in the fire, —for, no-gods, were, they, but the work of the hands of men—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 Yahweh our God, save us we pray thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that, thou, Yahweh, art God, alone!
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 son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, What thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard.
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 Yahweh hath spoken concerning him, —The virgin daughter of Zion, laugheth thee to scorn, mocketh thee, The daughter of Jerusalem, after thee, doth wag her head.
22 Kan ati itti qoostee arrabsite sun eenyu? Ati eenyutti sagalee kee ol fudhattee of tuulummaadhaan ija ol qabatte? Qulqullichuma Israaʼel sanatti mitii!
Whom, hast thou reproached, and insulted? and, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, 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.
Through thy messengers, thou hast reproached My Lord, and hast said—With my multitude of chariots, have I ascended the height of the mountains, the recesses of Lebanon, —and have cut down its tallest cedars, its choicest firs, and have entered the shelter of its summit, its thick garden forests.
24 Ani biyya ormaatti boolla bishaanii qotadhee achitti bishaan dhugeera. Ani faana miilla kootiin lageen biyya Gibxi hunda gogseera.”
I, have digged, and have drunk foreign waters, —and have dried up, with the soles of my feet, all the streams of besieged places.
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.
Hast thou not heard—that, long ago, that, is what I appointed, and, from days of old, devised it? Now, have I brought it to pass, that thou mightest serve to lay waste, in desolate ruins, fortified cities;
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, their inhabitants, being powerless, were overthrown and put to shame, —they became grass of the field, and young herbage, grass on housetops, and seed withered before it came up.
27 “‘Ani garuu lafa ati jirtu, yoom akka dhuftuu fi yoom akka deemtu, akka ati akka malee natti aartu illee nan beeka.
Howbeit, thine abode, and thy coming out and thy going in, I know, —and thy raging 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.’
Because, thy raging against me, and thy contempt, have come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my ring in thy nose, and my bit in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
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.
And, this unto thee, is the sign—Eating, this year, the growth of scattered seeds, and, in the second year, that which groweth after, —then, in the third year, sow ye and reap, plant ye vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof;
30 Ammas hambaan mootummaa Yihuudaa tokko jalaan hidda baafatee gubbaan immoo ija naqata.
Then shall the escaped of the house of Judah that remain, again—take root downward, and 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:
For, out of Jerusalem, shall go forth a remnant, and that which hath escaped—out of Mount Zion, —the jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform 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.
Therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not enter this city, nor shoot there, an arrow, —nor attack it with shield, nor cast up against it, a mound;
33 Inni karuma dhufe sanaan ni deebiʼa; magaalaa kanas hin seenu, jedha Waaqayyo.
By the way that he cometh in, by the same, shall he return, —and, into this city, shall he not enter, declareth Yahweh!
34 Anis sababii ofii kootii fi sababii garbicha koo Daawitiif jedhee, magaalaa kana nan eega; nan oolchas.’”
Thus will I throw a covering over this city, to save it, —for mine own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
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 it came to pass, during that night, that the messenger of Yahweh went forth, and smote, in the camp of the Assyrians, a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And, when men arose early in the morning, lo! they were all, dead bodies!
36 Kanaafuu Senaaheriib mootichi Asoor qubata sana keessaa baʼee baqate; Nanawweetti deebiʼees achi jiraate.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria brake up, and went his way, and returned, —and remained 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 it came to pass, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that, Adrammelech and Sharezer [his sons], smote him with the sword, howbeit, they, escaped into the land of Ararat, —and Esarhaddon his son, reigned, in his stead.
