Ishacyaah 36
1 Haddaba Boqor Xisqiyaah sannaddiisii afar iyo tobnaad ayaa Seenxeeriib oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur ku kacay magaalooyinkii deyrka lahaa oo dalka Yahuudah oo dhan, wuuna qabsaday.
In the fourteenth year of the reign of Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, attacked and conquered all the fortified towns of Judah.
2 Oo boqorkii Ashuurna wuxuu Laakiish ka diray Rabshaaqeeh oo ciidan faro badan wata, oo wuxuu Boqor Xisqiyaah ugu diray Yeruusaalem. Oo wuxuu is ag taagay biyomareenkii balliga sare kaasoo ku dhex yiil waddada berrinkii dharmaydhaha.
The king of Assyria sent his army general, along with a large army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. He stopped by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer's Field.
3 Oo markaasaa waxaa u soo baxay Elyaaqiim ina Xilqiyaah oo reerka u sarreeyey, iyo Shebnaa oo karraaniga ahaa, iyo Yoo'aax ina Aasaaf oo ahaa taariikhqorihii.
Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, the palace manager, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the record-keeper, went out to speak with him.
4 Markaasaa Rabshaaqeeh wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxaad Xisqiyaah haddeer ku tidhaahdaan, Boqorka weyn ee boqorka Ashuur ah wuxuu kugu leeyahay, War waxaad ku kalsoon tahay oo aad isku hallaynaysaa waa maxay?
The Assyrian army general said to them, “Tell Hezekiah this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What are you trusting in that gives you such confidence?
5 Waxaan kugu leeyahay, Waxaad tidhaahdaa, Dagaal waxaa loo hayaa talo iyo xoog, laakiin afka uun baad ku tidhi. Haddaba waadiga iga fallaagoobaye bal yaad isku hallaynaysaa?
You say you have a strategy and are ready for war, but these are empty words. Who are you relying on, now that you have rebelled against me?
6 Bal ogow, waxaad isku hallaynaysaa oo ul ahaan u qaadanaysaa cawsduurkan burburay, kaasoo ah Masar, oo isna haddii nin ku tiirsado gacantuu ka galaa oo ka mudaa, oo boqorka Masar oo Fircoon ahu saasoo kaluu u yahay kuwa isaga isku halleeya oo dhan.
Now look! You're trusting in Egypt, a walking stick that's like a broken reed that will cut the hand of anyone leaning on it. That's what Pharaoh, king of Egypt, is like to everyone who trusts in him.
7 Laakiinse haddaad igu tidhaahdid, Waxaannu isku hallaynaynaa Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah, miyuusan isagu ahayn kii meelihiisii sare iyo meelihiisii allabarigaba uu Xisqiyaah wada dumiyey isagoo dadka Yahuudah iyo dadka Yeruusaalemba ku leh, Meeshan allabariga horteeda waa inaad Ilaah ku caabuddaan?
If you tell me, ‘We're trusting in the Lord our God,’ well didn't Hezekiah remove his high places and his altars, telling Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You have to worship at this altar in Jerusalem’?
8 Haddaba waan ku baryayaaye bal sharad la dhigo sayidkayga oo ah boqorka Ashuur, haddaba waxaan ku siin doonaa laba kun oo faras, haddaad rag fuula u heli kartid.
Why don't you accept a challenge from my master, the king of Assyria? He says, I'll give you two thousand horses, if you can find enough riders for them!
9 Bal sidee baad u celin kartaa sirkaal ka mid ah kuwa ugu yaryar ee addoommada sayidkayga, oo sidee baad Masar isugu hallaynaysaa inay ku siinayso gaadhifardood iyo rag fardooley ah?
How could you defeat even a single officer in charge of the weakest of my master's men when you're trusting in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
10 Haddaba miyaan Rabbiga la'aantiis ugu kacay meeshan inaan baabbi'iyo? Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Dalkaas ku kac oo soo baabbi'i.
More than that—would I have come to attack this place without the Lord's encouragement? It was the Lord himself who told me, ‘Go and attack this land and destroy it.’”
11 Markaasaa Elyaaqiim iyo Shebnaa iyo Yoo'aax waxay Rabshaaqeeh ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye nagula hadal afka reer Suuriya, annagoo addoommadaada ah, waayo, isagaannu garanaynaa, oo ha nagula hadlin afka Yuhuudda iyadoo dadka derbiga dul jooga ay na maqlayaan.
Eliakim, Shebnah, and Joah, said to the army general, “Please speak to us, your servants, in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don't speak to us in Hebrew while the people on the wall are listening.”
12 Laakiinse Rabshaaqeeh wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Sayidkaygu ma wuxuu ii soo diray inaan sayidkiinna iyo idinka erayadan kula hadlo? Sow iima uu soo dirin nimanka derbiga dul joogaa inay saxaradooda cunaan oo ay kaadidooda idinla cabbaan?
But the army general replied, “Did my master only send me to say these things to your master and to you, and not to the people sitting on the wall? They too, just like you, are going to have to eat their own excrement and drink their own urine!”
13 Markaasuu Rabshaaqeeh istaagay, oo intuu cod weyn ku qayliyey ayuu afka Yuhuudda ku hadlay oo yidhi, War maqla erayadii boqorka weyn ee ah boqorka Ashuur.
Then the army general shouted out in Hebrew, “Listen to this from the great king, the king of Assyria!
14 Boqorkii wuxuu idinku leeyahay, Xisqiyaah yuusan idin khiyaanayn, waayo, isagu ma uu awoodi doono inuu idin samatabbixiyo.
This is what the king says: Don't let Hezekiah trick you! He can't save you!
15 Oo weliba Xisqiyaah yuusan Rabbiga idin aaminsiin isagoo leh, Hubaal Rabbigu waa ina samatabbixin doonaa, oo magaaladan laguma ridi doono gacanta boqorka Ashuur.
Don't believe Hezekiah when he tells you to trust in the Lord, saying, ‘I'm certain the Lord will save us. This city will never fall into the hands of the king of Assyria.’
16 Haddaba Xisqiyaah ha maqlina, waayo, boqorkii Ashuur wuxuu leeyahay, Nabad ila dhigta, oo ii soo baxa, oo midkiin waluba wax ha ka cuno canabkiisa iyo geedkiisa berde, oo midkiin waluba ha cabbo biyaha ceelkiisa,
Don't listen to Hezekiah. This is what the king says: Make a peace treaty with me and surrender to me. That way everyone will eat from their own vine and their own fig tree, and drink water from their own well!
17 intaanan iman oo idiin kaxayn dal dalkiinna la mid ah, oo ah dal hadhuudh iyo khamri leh, oo ah dal kibis iyo beerocanab leh.
I will come and take you to a land that's like your own, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 Iska jira oo yuusan Xisqiyaah idin sasabin isagoo leh, Rabbigu waa ina samatabbixin doonaa. Waayo, quruumaha ilaahyadoodii midkoodna miyuu dalkiisii ka samatabbixiyey gacanta boqorka Ashuur?
But don't let Hezekiah trick you when he says, ‘The Lord will deliver us.’ Have any of the gods of any nation ever saved their land from the power of the king of Assyria?
19 Bal meeye ilaahyadii Xamaad iyo Arfaad? Oo meeye ilaahyadii Sefarwayiim? Iyagu miyey Samaariya ka samatabbixiyeen gacantayda?
Where were the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where were the gods of Sepharvaim? Were they able to save Samaria from me?
20 Bal waa kuwee kuwa ku jira ilaahyada dalalka oo dhan oo dalkooda ka samatabbixiyey gacantayda? Haddaba Rabbigu sidee buu Yeruusaalem gacantayda uga samatabbixin karaa?
Which one of all the gods of these countries has saved their land from me? How then could the Lord save Jerusalem from me?”
21 Laakiinse way iska aamuseen oo xataa eray keliya uguma ay jawaabin, waayo, boqorku wuxuu ku amray oo yidhi, Ha u jawaabina.
But the people remained silent and didn't say anything, for Hezekiah had given the order, “Don't answer him.”
22 Markaasaa waxaa Xisqiyaah u yimid Elyaaqiim ina Xilqiyaah oo reerka u sarreeyey, iyo Shebnaa oo karraanigii ahaa, iyo Yoo'aax ina Aasaaf oo taariikhqorihii ahaa, iyagoo dhar jeexjeexan, oo waxay isagii u sheegeen Rabshaaqeeh erayadiisii.
Then Eliakim, son of Hilkiah, the palace manager, Shebna the scribe, and Joah, son of Asaph, the record-keeper, went to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they told him what the Assyrian army general had said.
