< Boqorradii Labaad 19 >

1 Oo markii Xisqiyaah taas maqlay intuu dharkiisii jeexjeexay oo joonyad guntaday ayuu gurigii Rabbiga galay.
When King Hezekiah heard what they reported, he tore his clothes and put on clothes made of rough cloth [because he was very distressed]. Then he went to the temple [to ask God what to do].
2 Markaasuu Elyaaqiim oo reerka boqorka u sarreeyey, iyo Shebnaa oo karraanigii ahaa, iyo duqowdii wadaaddada, iyagoo joonyado qaba u diray Nebi Ishacyaah oo ahaa ina Aamoos.
He summoned Eliakim and Shebna and the (older/most important) priests, who were also wearing clothes made of rough sackcloth, and told them to talk to me.
3 Oo iyana waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Xisqiyaah wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Maanta waa maalin dhibaato, iyo canaan, iyo cay, waayo, carruurtii way dhalan lahayd laakiinse xoog lagu dhalaa ma jiro.
He said to them, “Tell this to Isaiah: ‘King Hezekiah says that we are having great distress/trouble now. [Other nations are causing] us to be insulted and disgraced. We are like [MET] a woman who is about to give birth to a child, but she does not have the strength that she needs to do it.
4 Waxaa laga yaabaa in Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu uu wada maqlo erayadii Rabshaaqeeh oo dhan, kaasoo sayidkiisii ahaa boqorka Ashuur uu u soo diray inuu caayo Ilaaha nool; waana suurtowdaa inuu Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu canaanto kan uu erayadiisii maqlay; haddaba sidaas daraaddeed u ducee kuwa hadhay.
Perhaps Yahweh your God has heard everything that the official from Assyria said. Perhaps he knows that his boss/master, the king of Assyria, sent him to insult the all-powerful God, and that Yahweh will rebuke/punish him for what he said.’ And he requests that you pray for the few of us who are still alive [here in Jerusalem].”
5 Sidaas daraaddeed Boqor Xisqiyaah addoommadiisii waxay u yimaadeen Ishacyaah.
When the messengers from Hezekiah came to Isaiah,
6 Oo Ishacyaah wuxuu ku yidhi, Waxaad sayidkiinnii ku tidhaahdaan, Rabbigu wuxuu ku leeyahay, Ha ka cabsan erayadii aad maqashay oo midiidinnadii boqorka Ashuur ay igu caayeen.
Isaiah said to them, “[Go back to] your boss/master [and] tell him, ‘This is what Yahweh says: Those messengers from the king of Assyria have said evil things about me. But you should not be disturbed because of what they said.
7 Bal ogow, jinni baan gelin doonaa, oo belef buu maqli doonaa, markaasuu ku noqon doonaa dalkiisii, oo waxaan ka dhigi doonaa in isaga seef lagu dilo, isagoo dalkiisii jooga.
Listen to this: I will cause Sennacherib to hear a rumor that will worry him, [that a foreign army is about to attack his country]. So he will return to his own country, and there I will cause him to be assassinated by [men using] swords.’”
8 Markaasaa Rabshaaqeeh intuu noqday wuxuu helay boqorkii Ashuur oo la diriraya Libnaah, waayo, wuxuu maqlay inuu Laakiish ka tegey.
The official from Assyria found out that the King of Assyria [and his army] had left Lachish [city], and that they were attacking Libnah, [which is a nearby city]. So the official went there [to report to him what had happened in Jerusalem].
9 Oo markuu maqlay iyadoo la leeyahay, Boqorka Itoobiya oo Tirhaaqaah ah ayaa kugu soo baxay si uu kuula diriro ayuu haddana wargeeyayaal u diray Xisqiyaah, isagoo leh,
Soon after that, King Sennacherib received a report that King Tirhakah of Ethiopia was leading his army, and was coming to attack them. So before King Sennacherib left Libnah [to fight against the army from Ethiopia], he sent other messengers to King Hezekiah with a letter.
10 Xisqiyaah oo ah boqorka dalka Yahuudah waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Ilaahaaga aad isku hallaysaa yuusan ku khiyaanayn, isagoo kugu leh, Yeruusaalem gacanta loo gelin maayo boqorka Ashuur.
[In the letter] he wrote this to Hezekiah: “Do not allow your god on whom you are relying to deceive you by promising that [the city of] Jerusalem will not be captured by my army [MTY].
11 Bal eeg, waad maqashay wixii ay boqorrada Ashuur dalalka oo dhan ku sameeyeen, iyo sidii ay dhammaantood u wada baabbi'iyeen; haddaba adiga ma lagu samatabbixinayaa?
You have certainly heard what the armies of the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries. Our armies have completely destroyed them. So, (do you think that you will escape?/do not think that your god will save you!) [RHQ]
12 Quruumihii ay awowayaashay baabbi'iyeen ilaahyadoodii miyey samatabbixiyeen, kuwaasoo ahaa Goosaan, iyo Xaaraan, iyo Resef, iyo reer Ceeden oo Telasaar degganaa?
Did the gods of the nations that were about to be destroyed by the armies of the previous kings of Assyria rescue them? Did those gods rescue the people in the Gozan region and in Haran and Rezeph [cities in northern Syria] and the people of Eden who had been (deported/forced to go) to Tel-Assar [city]? None of the gods of those cities were able to rescue them.
13 Oo bal meeye boqorkii Xamaad, iyo boqorkii Arfaad, iyo boqorkii magaalada Sefarwayiim, iyo kii Xeenac, iyo kii Ciwaah?
What happened to the kings of Hamath and Arpad and Sepharvaim and Ivvah [cities] [RHQ]? [Most of them are dead, and the other people were deported]!”
14 Markaasaa Xisqiyaah warqaddii ka qaatay gacantii wargeeyayaashii oo akhriyey, dabadeedna wuxuu tegey gurigii Rabbiga oo warqaddii ku kala bixiyey Rabbiga hortiisa.
Hezekiah took the letter that the messengers gave him, and he read it. Then he went up to the temple and spread out the letter in front of Yahweh.
15 Oo Xisqiyaah wuxuu ku baryootamay Rabbiga hortiisa oo yidhi, Rabbiyow, Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iilow, kan keruubiimta ku dul fadhiyow, waxaad tahay Ilaah, oo adiga keligaa ayaa ah Ilaaha boqortooyooyinka dunida oo dhan, oo cirka iyo dhulkana adigaa sameeyey.
Then Hezekiah prayed, “Yahweh, the God whom to whom we Israelis belong, you are seated on your throne above the [statues of] creatures with wings, [above the Sacred Chest]. Only you are truly God. You rule all the kingdoms on this earth. You are the one who created [everything on] the earth and [in] the sky.
16 Rabbiyow, dhegta u dhig oo maqal, oo Rabbiyow, indhahaaga fur oo arag; bal maqal Seenxeeriib erayadii uu u soo diray inuu Ilaaha nool ku caayo.
So, Yahweh, please listen to what I am saying, and look [at what is happening]. And listen to what King Sennacherib has said to insult you, the all-powerful God.
17 Rabbiyow, sida runta ah boqorrada Ashuur waxay baabbi'iyeen quruumihii iyo dalalkoodii,
“Yahweh, it is true that [the armies of] the kings of Assyria have completely destroyed many nations, and ruined their land.
18 oo ilaahyadoodiina dab bay ku dhex tuureen, waayo, iyagu ilaahyo ma ay ahayn, laakiinse waxay ahaayeen wax gacanta lagu sameeyey, oo ahaa qoryo iyo dhagaxyo, oo sidaas daraaddeed iyagu way baabbi'iyeen.
And they have thrown the idols of those nations into fires and burned them. But [that was not difficult to do, because] they were not gods. They were only statues made of wood and stone, idols that were shaped by humans, [and that is why they were destroyed easily].
19 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiyow Ilaahayagow, waan ku baryayaaye gacantiisa naga badbaadi, in boqortooyooyinka dunida oo dhammu ay ogaadaan inaad adiga keliyahu tahay Rabbiga Ilaaha ah.
So now, Yahweh our God, please rescue us from the power [MTY] [of the king of Assyria], in order that the people in all the kingdoms of the world will know that you, Yahweh, are the only one who is truly God.”
20 Markaasaa Ishacyaah ina Aamoos u soo cid diray Xisqiyaah, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Rabbiga Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Seenxeeriib oo ah boqorka Ashuur waad iga bariday, taas aawadeed waan ku maqlay.
Then Isaiah sent this message to Hezekiah: “This is what Yahweh, the God to whom we Israelis belong, says: 'I have heard what you prayed to me about Sennacherib, the king of Assyria.
21 Oo kanu waa erayguu Rabbigu isaga kaga hadlay: Gabadha bikradda ah oo Siyoon Way ku fududaysatay, oo intay kugu qososhay ayay ku quudhsatay; Gabadhii Yeruusaalem madaxay kaa ruxatay.
This is what I say to him: “The people of Jerusalem [MTY] despise you and make fun of you. They wag/shake their heads to mock you while you flee from here.
22 Bal adigu kumaad yaraysatay oo aad cayday? Oo bal yaad codkaaga kor ugu qaadday Oo aad indhahaaga ku taagtay? Waa kan quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil.
Who do you think that you are despising and ridiculing? Who do you think you were shouting at? Who do you think you were looking at very proudly/arrogantly? It was I, the holy God whom the Israelis worship.
23 Wargeeyayaashaadii ayaad Sayidka ku cayday Oo waxaad tidhi, Gaadhifardoodkayga badan Ayaan ku soo fuulay buuraha meesha ugu dheer, Iyo meelaha ugu hooseeya ee Lubnaan gudaheeda; Oo waxaan jari doonaa geedaheeda dhaadheer oo kedarka ah, iyo geedaheeda la doortay oo berooshka ah, Oo waxaan geli doonaa meesha ugu fog hoygeeda, iyo kaynta berrinkeeda oo midhaha badan.
The messengers that you sent made fun of me. You said, 'With my many chariots I have gone to the highest mountains, even to the highest mountains in Lebanon. We have cut down its tallest cedar trees and its nicest pine/cyprus trees. We have been to the most distant/remote peaks and to its dense forests.
24 Anigu waxaan qoday oo cabbay biyo qalaad, Oo calaacalaha cagahayga baan ku wada qallajin doonaa Webiyaasha Masar oo dhan.
We have dug wells in other countries and drank water from them. And by marching through [MTY] the streams of Egypt, we dried them all up [HYP]!”’
25 War sow ma aad maqal Sidaan waa hore u sameeyey Oo aan wakhtiyadii hore u qabanqaabiyey? Haddaba anigaa saas kaa yeelay Inaad magaalooyin deyr leh baabbi'isid oo aad ka dhigtid taallooyin burbur ah.
[‘But I reply], “Have you never heard that long ago I determined [that those things would happen]? I planned it long ago, and now I have been causing it to happen. I planned that your army would have [the power to] capture many cities that were surrounded by high walls, and cause them to become piles of rubble.
26 Oo sidaas daraaddeed dadkii degganaa way xoog yaraayeen, Wayna naxeen oo wareereen; Oo waxay ahaayeen sida cawska berrinka, iyo sida doogga, Iyo sida cawska guryaha korkooda ka soo baxa, iyo sida hadhuudh gubtay intaanu korin.
The people who lived in those cities have no power, and as a result they became dismayed and discouraged. They are as frail as plants and grass in the fields, as frail as grass that grows on the roofs of houses and is scorched by the hot east wind.
27 Laakiinse waan aqaan fadhigaaga, Iyo bixiddaada, iyo soo geliddaada, Iyo cadhadaadii aad ii cadhootayba.
“But I know [everything about you]. I know when you are in your house and when you go outside; I also know that you are (raging/speaking very angrily) against me.
28 Cadhadaadii aad ii cadhootay, Iyo islaweynaantaadii waxay soo gaadheen dhegahayga, Oo sidaas daraaddeed sanka waxaan kaa sudhi doonaa qabatadayda, Bushimahaagana waxaan gelin doonaa xakamahayga, Oo waxaan kugu celin doonaa jidkii aad ku timid.
So, because you have raged against me, and because I have heard [MTY] you speak very proudly/arrogantly, [it will be as though] I will put a hook in your nose and an iron (bit/piece of metal) in your mouth [in order that I can lead you where I want you to go], and I will force you to return [to your own country] on the same road on which you came here, [without conquering Jerusalem].” '
29 Oo tanu waxay kuu ahaan doontaa calaamad; sannaddan waxaad cuni doontaan waxa iska soo baxa, oo sannadda labaadna waxaad cuni doontaan wax kii hore uun ka soo baxa; oo sannadda labaadna waxaad cuni doontaan wax kii hore uun ka soo baxay; sannadda saddexaadna idinku wax beerta, oo haddana goosta, oo beera canab ah tabcada, oo midhahooda cuna.
Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “This is what will happen to prove [that I am telling the truth]: This year and next year you [and your people] will be able to harvest only (wild grain/grain that grows without having been planted). But the following year, you [Israelis] will be able to plant grain and harvest it, and to plant vineyards and eat the grapes that you harvest.
30 Markaasaa kuwii hadhay oo reer Yahuudah ah oo baxsaday mar kalay xididdo hoos u bixin doonaan, midhona kor bay u dhali doonaan.
The people [MTY] in Judah who remain alive will prosper and have many children; they will be like plants whose roots go deep down into the ground and which produce much [MET].
31 Waayo, Yeruusaalem waxaa ka soo bixi doona kuwa hadhi doona, oo Buur Siyoonna waxaa ka soo bixi doona kuwa baxsan doona. Oo qiirada Rabbiga ayaa taas samayn doonta.
There will be many people in Jerusalem [DOU] who will survive, because Yahweh, the commander of the armies of angels in heaven, wants [PRS] it to happen.
32 Haddaba Rabbigu saasuu uga hadlay boqorka Ashuur oo yidhi, Isagu magaaladan iman maayo, fallaadhna ku soo gani maayo, horteedana gaashaan la iman maayo, taallo ciid ahna ag tuuli maayo.
So this is what Yahweh, says about the king of Assyria: ‘His armies will not enter this city; they will not even shoot any arrows into it! His soldiers will not march outside the city gates carrying shields, and they will not even build high mounds of dirt against [the city walls] [to enable them to attack the city].
33 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidkuu ku yimid ayuu ku noqon doonaa, oo magaaladan iman maayo.
Their king will return to his own country on the same road on which he came here. He will not enter this city! [That will happen because] I, Yahweh have said it!
34 Waayo, anigu magaaladan waxaan u daafici doonaa oo u badbaadin doonaa aniga daraadday iyo addoonkaygii Daa'uud daraaddiis.
I will defend this city and prevent it from being destroyed. I will do this for the sake of my own reputation and because of what I promised to King David, who served me well.'”
35 Oo isla habeenkaas ayaa malaa'igtii Rabbigu baxday oo waxay xeradii reer Ashuur ka laysay boqol iyo shan iyo siddeetan kun oo nin; oo aroor hore markii la toosay waxay wada ahaayeen meyd.
That night, an angel from Yahweh went out to where the army of Assyria had put up their tents, and killed 185,000 of their soldiers! When the rest of their soldiers woke up the next morning, they saw that there were corpses everywhere!
36 Markaasaa Seenxeeriib oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur intuu tegey Nineweh ku noqday oo degay.
Then King Sennacherib left and went home to Nineveh, [the capital of Assyria].
37 Oo markuu wax ku caabudayay gurigii ilaahiis Nisrog ayay Adrammeleg iyo Shareser isagii seef ku dileen; markaasay u carareen dalkii Araarad. Oo meeshiisiina waxaa boqor ka noqday wiilkiisii Eesar Xaddoon.
One day, when he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, two of his sons, Adrammelech and Sharezer, killed him with their swords. Then they escaped and went to [the] Ararat [region, northwest of Nineveh]. And another of Sennacherib's sons, Esarhaddon, became the king of Assyria.
