2 Wafalme 19
1 Ikawa kuhusu kwamba wakati Mfalme Hezekia aliposikia taazrifa zao, akararua mavazi yake, akavaa nguo za magunia, na kwenda kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe.
And it was when heard the king Hezekiah and he tore clothes his and he covered himself with sackcloth and he went [the] house of Yahweh.
2 Akamtuma Elkana, ambaye alikua msimamizi wa nyumba ya mfalme, na Shebna yule mwandishi, na wazee wa makuhani, wote walikuwa wamefunikwa na nguo za magunia, kwenda kwa Isaya mwana wa Amozi, yule nabii.
And he sent Eliakim who [was] over the house and Shebna the scribe and [the] elders of the priests covered with sackcloth to Isaiah the prophet [the] son of Amoz.
3 Wakamwambia, “Hezekia wakisema, 'siku hii ni siku ya mateso, shutuma, na fedheha, kwa kuwa wakati umewadia watoto kuzaliwa, lakini hakuna nguvu ili wazaliwe.
And they said to him thus he says Hezekiah [is] a day of distress and rebuke and insult the day this for they have come children to birth and [is] strength there not for giving birth.
4 Inaweza kuwa Yahwe Mungu wako atasikia maneno yote ya amiri jeshi mkuu, ambaye mfalme wa Ashuru bwana wake amemtuma kumkaidi Mungu aliye hai, naye atayakemea yale maneno ambayo Yahwe Mungu wako aliyasikia. Sasa inua maombi yako juu kwa ajili ya mabaki yaliyo bakia hapo.”'
Perhaps he will hear Yahweh God your - all [the] words of [the] chief commander whom he sent him [the] king of Assyria - master his to taunt [the] God living and he will rebuke the words which he has heard Yahweh God your and you will lift up prayer for the remnant which is found.
5 Hivyo watumishi wa mfalme Hezekia wakaja kwa Isaya,
And they came [the] servants of the king Hezekiah to Isaiah.
6 na Isaya akawaambia, “Mwambieni bwana wenu: 'Yahwe asema hivi, “Usiyaogope maneno ambayo uliyoyasikia, pamoja na kwamba watumishi wa mfalme wa Ashuru wamenitukana.
And he said to them Isaiah thus you will say! to master your thus - he says Yahweh may not you be afraid of the words which you have heard which they have blasphemed [the] servants of [the] king of Assyria me.
7 Tazama, nitaweka roho ndani yake, na yamkini atasikia taarifa na kurudi kwenye nchi yake mwenyewe. Nitamfanya aanguke kwa upanga katika nchi yake mwenyewe."”'
Here I [am] about to put in him a spirit and he will hear a report and he will return to own land his and I will make fall him by the sword in own land his.
8 Kisha amiri jeshi mkuu akarudi na kumkuta mfalme wa Ashuru akipigana dhidi ya Libna, kwa kuwa alisikia kwamba mfalme alikuwa ameenda kutoka Lakishi.
And he returned [the] chief commander and he found [the] king of Assyria fighting on Libnah if he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Kisha Senakeribu akasikia kwamba Tirhaka mfalme wa Kushi na Misri alihamasisha kupigana dhidi yake, hivyo akatuma wajumbe tena kwa Hezekia pamoja na ujumbe:
And he heard concerning Tirhakah [the] king of Cush saying there! he has come out to do battle with you and he returned and he sent messengers to Hezekiah saying.
10 “Mwambieni Hezekia mfalme wa Yuda, 'Asikudanganye Mungu wako unayemwamini, kusema, “Yerusalemu haitawekwa kwenye mikono ya mikono ya mfalme wa Ashuru.”
Thus you will say! to Hezekiah [the] king of Judah saying may not he deceive you God your whom you [are] trusting in him saying not it will be given Jerusalem in [the] hand of [the] king of Assyria.
11 Tazama, umesikia kwamba wafalme wa Ashuru wamemaliza nchi zote kwa kuziharibu kabisa. Kwa hiyo je utaokoka?
Here! - you you have heard [that] which they have done [the] kings of Assyria to all the lands by totally destroying them and you will you be delivered?
12 Je wale miungu wa mataifa wamewaokoa, mataifa ambao baba zangu waliyaharibu: Gozani, Harani, Resefu, na watu wa Edeni katika Telasari?
¿ Did they deliver them [the] gods of the nations which they destroyed fathers my Gozan and Haran and Rezeph and [the] people of Eden who [were] in Telassar.
13 Je yuko wapi mfalme wa Hamathi, mfalme Arpadi, mfalme wa miji ya Sefarvaimu, wa Hena, na Iva?”'
Where [is]? he [the] king of Hamath and [the] king of Arpad and [the] king of Lair Sepharvaim Hena and Ivvah.
14 Hezekia akapokea hii barua kutoka wale wajumbe na kuisoma. Kisha akapanda hata kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe na kuukunjua mbele yake.
And he took Hezekiah the letters from [the] hand of the messengers and he read them and he went up [the] house of Yahweh and he spread out it Hezekiah before Yahweh.
15 Kisha Hezekia akaomba mbele ya Yahwe na kusema, “Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, uketiye juu ya makerubi, wewe ni Mungu wa pekee juu ya tawala zote za dunia. Uliyeziumba mbingu na nchi.
And he prayed Hezekiah before Yahweh and he said O Yahweh [the] God of Israel [who] sits the cherubim you he [are] God to alone you of all [the] kingdoms of the earth you you made the heavens and the earth.
16 Tega sikio lako, Yahwe, na usikie. Fungua macho yako, Yahwe, na tazama, na sikia maneno ya Senakeribu, ambayo ameyatuma kumdhihaki Mungu aliye hai.
Incline O Yahweh - ear your and hear open O Yahweh eyes your and see and hear [the] words of Sennacherib which he has sent it to taunt [the] God living.
17 Ni kweli, Yahwe, wafalme wa Ashuru ameyaharibu mataifa na nchi zao.
Truly O Yahweh they have made desolate [the] kings of Assyria the nations and land their.
18 Wameiweka miungu yao kwenye moto, kwa kuwa hawakuwa miungu lakini ilikuwa kazi ya mikono ya watu, ilikuwa miti na mawe. Hivyo Waashuru wamewaharibu.
And they have put gods their in the fire for not [were] gods they that except [the] work of [the] hands of humankind wood and stone and they have destroyed them.
19 Basi sasa, Yahwe Mungu wetu, tuokoe, nakusihi, kutoka kwenye nguvu zake, ili kwamba mamlaka zote za dunia zipate kujua yakwamba wewe, Yahwe, ndiye Mungu wa pekee.”
And now O Yahweh God our save us please from hand his so they may know all [the] kingdoms of the earth that you O Yahweh [are] God to alone you.
20 Kisha Isaya mwana wa Amozi akatuma ujumbe kwa Hezekia, akisema, “Yahwe, Mungu wa Israeli asema, 'Kwasababu umeomba kwangu kuhusiana na Senakeribu mfalme wa Ashuru, nimekusikia.
And he sent Isaiah [the] son of Amoz to Hezekiah saying thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel [that] which you prayed to me concerning Sennacherib [the] king of Assyria I have heard.
21 Hili ndilo neno ambalo Yahwe ameliongea kuhusu yeye: “Bikira binti Sayuni amekudharau na kukucheka kwa dharau. Binti wa Yerusalemu akatikisa kichwa juu yako.
This [is] the word which he has spoken Yahweh on him she has despised you she has mocked you [the] virgin of [the] daughter of Zion behind you a head she has shaken [the] daughter of Jerusalem.
22 Je ni nani uliyemchokoza na kumtukana? Dhidi ya nani umeinua sauti yako na kuinua macho yako katika majivuno? Juu ya Mtakatifu wa Israeli!
Whom? have you taunted and have you blasphemed? and on whom? have you lifted up a voice and have you lifted up? height eyes your on [the] holy [one] of Israel.
23 Kupitia wajumbe wako wamemdharau Bwana, na kusema, 'Pamoja na wingi wa magari yangu ya farasi nimeenda juu ya vilele ya milima, hata juu ya kilele cha Lebanoni. Nitaikata mierezi mirefu na kuchagua miti ya mivinje huko. Nitaingia sehemu za makazi yake yaliyo mbali, msitu wake uzaao sana.
By [the] hand of messengers your you have taunted - [the] Lord and you have said (with [the] abundance of *Q(K)*) chariotry my I I have gone up [the] height[s] of mountains [the] remotest parts of Lebanon so I may cut down [the] height of cedars its [the] choice of pines its and I went [the] lodging place of (end its *Q(K)*) [the] forest of plantation its.
24 Nimechimba visima na kunywa maji mageni. Nimekausha mito yote ya Misri chini ya soli ya miguu yangu.'
I I have dug and I have drunk water strange so I may dry up with [the] sole of feet my all [the] canals of Egypt.
25 Je hukusikia jinsi nilivyoagiza tangu zamani, na kuyafanya tangu siku za zamani? Sasa ninalileta kupita. Uko hapa kupunguza miji isiyoingilika kwenye rundo la maangamizi.
¿ Not have you heard from distant [time] it I appointed from days of antiquity and I planned it now I have brought it and you are [about] to make desolate heaps ruined cities fortified.
26 Makazi yao, ya nguvu kidogo, imevunjwa vunjwa na aibu. Wamekuwa mimea katika shamba, majani ya kijani, majani juu kwenye dari au kwenye shamba, lililochomwa kabla halijakua.
And inhabitants their [were] short of hand they were dismayed and they were ashamed they were [the] vegetation of [the] field and greenery of grass grass of roofs and scorching before standing grain.
27 Lakini najua kuketi kwako chini, na kutoka kwako, kuingia kwako dhidi yangu.
And sitting down you and going out you and coming you I know and raging you against me.
28 Kwasababu kiburi chako kimeyafikia masikio yangu, Nitaweka kulabu yangu kwenye pua yako, na hatamu yangu kwenye mdomo wako; nitakurudisha nyuma kwa njia ile ile uliyoijia.”
Because raging you against me and arrogance your it has come up in ears my and I will put hook my in nose your and bridle my on lips your and I will bring back you by the way which you came by it.
29 Hii ndiyo itakuwa ishara kwako: Mwaka huu mtakula vitu viotavyo porini, na katika mwaka wa pili vile vikuavyo katika huo. Lakini katika mwaka wa tatu ni lazima mpande na kuvuna, kupanda mashamba ya mizabibu na kula matunda yake.
And this for you [will be] the sign you will eat this year self-sown grain and in the year second self-seeded plant[s] and in the year third sow and reap and plant vineyards and eat fruit their.
30 Mabaki ya nyumba ya Yuda ambayo yataokoka yatachukua tena mizizi na kuzaa matunda.
And it will add [the] escaped remnant of [the] house of Judah which remains a root downwards and it will produce fruit upwards.
31 Kwa kuwa mabaki yatatoka Yerusalemu, kutoka Mlima Sayuni wenye kuokoka utakuja. Wivu wa Yahwe wa majeshi utafanya hivyo.
For from Jerusalem it will go out a remnant and an escaped remnant from [the] mountain of Zion [the] zeal of (Yahweh of hosts *Q(K)*) it will accomplish this.
32 Kwa hiyo Yahwe asema hivi kuhusu mfalme wa Ashuru: “Hatakuja kwenye huu mji wala kupiga mshale hapa. Wala hatakuja mbele yake na ngao au kujenga boma dhidi yake.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh concerning [the] king of Assyria not he will come into the city this and not he will shoot there an arrow and not he will confront it a shield and not he will pour out on it a mound.
33 Njia ile ile aliyoijia ndiyo njia atakayoondokea; hatoingia mji huu - hivi ndivyo asemavyo Yahwe.”
By the way which he came by it he will return and into the city this not he will come [the] utterance of Yahweh.
34 Kwa maana nitaulinda huu mji na kuuokoa, kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe na kwa ajili ya Daudi mtumishi wangu.”'
And I will defend the city this to deliver it for own sake my and for [the] sake of David servant my.
35 Ikawa kuhusu usiku huo ambao malaika wa Yahwe alitoka na kuvamia kambi ya Waashuru, akawaua maaskari 185, 000. Kisha watu wakaamka asubuhi na mapema, miili ya watu waliokuwa wamekufa ilikuwa imelala kila mahali.
And it was in the night that and he went out - [the] angel of Yahweh and he struck down in [the] camp of Assyria one hundred eighty and five thousand and they rose early in the morning and there! all of them [were] corpses dead.
36 Hivyo Senakeribu mfalme wa Ashuru akaondoka Israeli na kwenda nyumbani na kuishi katika Ninawi.
And he departed and he went and he returned Sennacherib [the] king of Assyria and he remained in Nineveh.
37 Baadaye, alipokuwa akiabudu kwenye nyumba ya Nisroki mungu wake, watoto wake Adramaleki na Shareza wakamuua kwa upanga. Kisha wakakimbilia kwenye nchi ya Ararati. Kisha Esarhodani mwanaye akawa mfalme katika mahali pake.
And it was he [was] bowing down [the] house of - Nisroch god his and Adrammelech (and Sharezer sons his *Q(K)*) they struck down him with the sword and they they escaped [the] land of Ararat and he became king Esar-haddon son his in place of him.
