2 Kings 19
1 Nígbà tí ọba Hesekiah gbọ́ èyí, ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya ó sì wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ó sì lọ sí àgọ́ Olúwa
And it came to pass when king Ezekias heard it, that he tore his clothes, and put on sackcloth, an went into the house of the Lord.
2 Ó sì rán Eliakimu olùtọ́jú ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé àti olórí àlùfáà gbogbo wọn sì wọ aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀, sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi.
And he sent Heliakim the steward, and Somnas the scribe, and the elders of the priests, clothed with sackcloth, to Esaias the prophet the son of Amos.
3 Wọ́n sì sọ fún ún pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Hesekiah sọ: ọjọ́ òní yí jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìpọ́njú àti ìbáwí àti ẹ̀gàn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà tí ọmọdé wá sí ojú ìbímọ tí kò sì sí agbára láti fi bí wọn.
And they said to him, Thus says Ezekias, This day [is] a day of tribulation, and rebuke, and provocation: for the children are come to the travail-[pangs], but the mother has no strength.
4 Ó lè jẹ́ wí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yóò gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ olùdarí pápá, ẹni tí ọ̀gá rẹ̀, ọba Asiria, ti rán láti fi Ọlọ́run alààyè ṣẹ̀sín, yóò sì bá a wí fún ọ̀rọ̀ ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti gbọ́. Nítorí náà gbàdúrà fún ìyókù àwọn tí ó wà láààyè.”
Peradventure the Lord your God will hear all the words of Rapsakes, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to reproach the living God and to revile him with the words which the Lord your God has heard: and you shall offer [your] prayer for the remnant that is found.
5 Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ ọba Hesekiah lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Isaiah,
So the servants of king Ezekias came to Esaias.
6 Isaiah wí fún wọn pé, “Sọ fún ọ̀gá rẹ, ‘Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ pé: Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù ohun tí ẹ̀yin ti gbọ́—àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ ìhàlẹ̀ pẹ̀lú èyí ti ọba Asiria ti sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi.
And Esaias said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says the Lord, Be not afraid of the words which you have heard, wherewith the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed.
7 Gbọ́! Èmi yóò rán ẹ̀mí kan sínú rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó bá sì gbọ́ ariwo, yóò sì padà sí ìlú rẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni èmi yóò sì gbé gé e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà.’”
Behold, I send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a report, and shall return to his own land; and I will overthrow him with the sword in his own land.
8 Nígbà tí olùdarí pápá gbọ́ wí pé ọba Asiria ti kúrò ní Lakiṣi ó sì padà ó sì rí ọba níbi ti ó gbé ń bá Libina jà.
So Rapsakes returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Lobna: for he heard that he [had] departed from Lachis.
9 Nísinsin yìí, Sennakeribu sì gbọ́ ìròyìn wí pé Tirakah, ọba Etiopia ti Ejibiti wá ó sì ń yan jáde lọ láti lọ bá a jagun. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì tún rán oníṣẹ́ sí Hesekiah pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ yìí pé,
And he heard concerning Tharaca king of the Ethiopians, saying, Behold, he is come forth to fight with you: and he returned, and sent messengers to Ezekias, saying,
10 “Sọ fún Hesekiah ọba Juda pé, má ṣe jẹ́ kí òrìṣà tí ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé kí ó tàn ó jẹ nígbà tí ó wí pé, ‘Jerusalẹmu a kò ní fi lé ọwọ́ ọba Asiria.’
Let not your God on whom you trust encourage you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.
11 Lóòótọ́ ìwọ ti gbọ́ gbogbo ohun tí ọba Asiria tí ó ṣe sí gbogbo àwọn ìlú, ó pa wọ́n run pátápátá. Ìwọ yóò sì gbàlà?
Behold, you have heard all that the kings of the Assyrians have done in all the lands, to waste them utterly: and shall you be delivered?
12 Ṣé àwọn òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè tí a ti parun láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn baba ńlá mi gbà wọ́n là: òrìṣà Gosani, Harani Reṣefu àti gbogbo ènìyàn Edeni tí wọ́n wà ní Teli-Assari?
Have the gods of the nations at all delivered them, whom my fathers destroyed; both Gozan, and Charran, and Raphis, and the sons of Edem who were in Thaesthen?
13 Níbo ni ọba Hamati wa, ọba Arpadi, ọba ìlú Sefarfaimi, ti Hena, tàbí ti Iffa gbé wà?”
Where is the king of Haemath, and the king of Arphad? and where is the king of the city of Seppharvaim, of Ana, and Aba?
14 Hesekiah gba lẹ́tà láti ọ̀dọ̀ ìránṣẹ́ ó sì kà á. Nígbà náà ó sì lọ sí òkè ilé tí a kọ́ fún Olúwa ó sì tẹ́ ẹ síwájú Olúwa.
And Ezekias took the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and he went up to the house of the Lord, and Ezekias spread it before the Lord,
15 Hesekiah gbàdúrà sí Olúwa: “Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ń gbé ní àárín àwọn kérúbù, ìwọ nìkan ni Ọlọ́run lórí gbogbo ìjọba tí ó wà láyé, ìwọ ti dá ọ̀run àti ayé.
and said, O Lord God of Israel that dwell over the cherubs, you are the only god in all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.
16 Dẹtí sílẹ̀, Olúwa kí o sì gbọ́; la ojú rẹ, Olúwa, kí o sì rí i, gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Sennakeribu tí ó rán láti fi bú Ọlọ́run alààyè.
Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear: open, Lord, your eyes, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherim, which he has sent to reproach the living God.
17 “Òtítọ́ ni, Olúwa, wí pé ọba Asiria ti pa orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí run àti ilẹ̀ wọn.
For truly, Lord, the kings of Assyria have wasted the nations,
18 Wọ́n ti ju òrìṣà wọn sínú iná wọn sì ti bà wọ́n jẹ́, nítorí pé wọn kì í ṣe ọlọ́run. Ṣùgbọ́n, wọ́n jẹ́ igi àti òkúta tí a ṣe lọ́ṣọ̀ọ́ pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ ènìyàn.
and have cast their gods into the fire: because they are no gods, but the works of men's hands, wood and stone; and they have destroyed them.
19 Nísinsin yìí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, gbà wá kúrò lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni gbogbo àwọn ìjọba lórí ilẹ̀ ayé le mọ̀ pé ìwọ nìkan ṣoṣo ni, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa.”
And now, O Lord our God, deliver us out of his hand, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall know that you alone [are] the Lord God.
20 Nígbà náà Isaiah ọmọ Amosi rán oníṣẹ́ sí Hesekiah pé, “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ: Mo ti gbọ́ àdúrà rẹ nípa ti Sennakeribu ọba Asiria.
And Esaias the son of Amos sent to Ezekias, saying, Thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, I have heard your prayer to me concerning Sennacherim king of the Assyrians.
21 Èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa ti sọ nípa rẹ̀, “‘Wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin Sioni kẹ́gàn rẹ ó sì fi ọ́ ṣe ẹlẹ́yà. Ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu mi orí sí ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí o ti sálọ.
This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken against him; The virgin daughter of Sion has made light of you, and mocked you; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
22 Ta ni ìwọ ti bú tí o sì kẹ́gàn rẹ̀? Lórí ta ni ìwọ ti gbé ohùn rẹ sókè tí ó sì gbé ojú sókè sí ọ ní ìgbéraga? Lórí ẹni mímọ́ ti Israẹli!
Whom have you reproached, and whom have you reviled? and against whom have you lifted up your voice, and raised your eyes on high? [Is it] against the Holy One of Israel?
23 Nípa àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ ìwọ ti sọ̀rọ̀ búburú sí Olúwa. Tì wọ sì wí pé, “Pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀ kẹ̀kẹ́ mi ni èmi sì fi dé orí àwọn òkè ńlá, sí ibi gíga jùlọ Lebanoni. Èmi a sì ké igi kedari gíga rẹ̀ lulẹ̀, àti ààyò igi firi rẹ̀. Èmi a sì lọ sí orí òkè ìbùwọ̀ rẹ̀ sínú ibi tí ó dára jù nínú igbó rẹ̀.
By your messengers you has reproached the Lord, and have said, I will go up with the multitude of my chariots, to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Libanus, and I have cut down the height of his cedar, [and] his choice cypresses; and I have come into the midst of the forest and of Carmel.
24 Mo ti gbẹ́ kànga ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì, mo sì mu omi níbẹ̀. Pẹ̀lú àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ mi, èmi ti gbẹ́ gbogbo omi odò tí ó wà ní Ejibiti.”
I have refreshed [myself], and have drunk strange waters, and I have dried up with the sole of my foot all the rivers of fortified places.
25 “‘Ṣé ìwọ kò tí ì gbọ́? Ní ọjọ́ pípẹ́ sẹ́yìn mo yàn án. Ní ọjọ́ ogbó ni mo ṣètò rẹ̀; nísinsin yìí mo ti mú wá sí ìkọjá pé ìwọ ti yí ìlú olódi padà dí òkìtì àlàpà òkúta.
I have brought about [the matter], I have brought it to a conclusion; and it is come to the destruction of the bands of warlike prisoners, [even of] strong cities.
26 Àwọn ènìyàn wọn ń gbẹ nípa, wọ́n ti dà á láàmú wọ́n sì ti ṣọ́ di ìtìjú. Wọ́n dàbí koríko igbó lórí pápá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọkà tí ó rẹ̀ dànù kí ó tó dàgbàsókè, gẹ́gẹ́ bí fífún ọkà tí ó hù jáde.
And they that lived in them were weak in hand, they quaked and were confounded, they became [as] grass of the field, or [as] the green herb, the grass [growing on] houses, and that which is trodden down by him that stands [upon it].
27 “‘Ṣùgbọ́n èmi mọ ibi tí ìwọ dúró àti ìgbà tí ìwọ bá dé tàbí lọ àti bí ìwọ ṣe ìkáàánú rẹ: sí mi.
But I know your down-sitting, and your going forth, and your rage against me.
28 Ṣùgbọ́n ìkáàánú rẹ sí mi àti ìrora rẹ dé etí mi, Èmi yóò gbé ìwọ̀ mi sí imú rẹ àti ìjánu mi sí ẹnu rẹ, èmi yóò mú ọ padà nípa wíwá rẹ.’
Because you was angry against me, and your fierceness is come up into my ears, therefore will I put my hooks in your nostrils, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.
29 “Èyí yóò jẹ́ àmì fún ọ, ìwọ Hesekiah: “Ọdún yìí ìwọ yóò jẹ ohun tí ó bá hù fún rara rẹ̀, àti ní ọdún kejì ohun tí ó bá hù jáde láti inú ìyẹn. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún kẹta, gbìn kí o sì kórè, gbin ọgbà àjàrà kí o sì jẹ èso rẹ̀.
And this shall be a sign to you; eat this year the things that grow of themselves, and in the second year the things which spring up: and in the third year [let there be] sowing, and reaping, and planting of vineyards, and eat you the fruit of them.
30 Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i ìyókù ti ilé Juda yóò sì tún hu gbòǹgbò lábẹ́, yóò sì so èso lókè.
And he shall increase him that has escaped of the house of Juda: and the remnant [shall strike] root beneath, and it shall produce fruit above.
31 Láti inú Jerusalẹmu ní àwọn ìyókù yóò ti wá àti láti orí òkè Sioni ni ọ̀pọ̀ àwọn tí ó sá àsálà. Ìtara Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun yóò ṣe èyí.
For from Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and he that escapes from the mountain of Sion: the zeal of the Lord of host shall do this.
32 “Nítorí èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ nípa ti ọba Asiria: “Kò ní wọ ìlú yìí tàbí ta ọfà síbí. Kò ní wá níwájú rẹ pẹ̀lú àpáta tàbí kó ìdọ̀tí àgbò sí ọ̀kánkán rẹ.
[Is it] not so? Thus says the Lord concerning the king of the Assyrians, He shall not enter into this city, and he shall not shoot an arrow there, neither shall a shield come against it, neither shall he heap a mound against it.
33 Nípa ọ̀nà tí ó gbà wá ni yóò padà; kì yóò wọ ìlú ńlá yìí, ni Olúwa wí.
By the way by which he comes, by it shall he return, and he shall not enter into this city, says the Lord.
34 Èmi yóò dá ààbò bo ìlú ńlá yìí, èmi yóò sì pa á mọ́ fún èmi tìkára mi àti fún Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi.”
And I will defend this city as with a shield, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
35 Ní alẹ́ ọjọ́ náà, angẹli Olúwa jáde lọ ó sì pa ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án lé ẹgbẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n ènìyàn ní ibùdó àwọn ará Asiria. Nígbà tí wọ́n sì dìde dúró ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì níbẹ̀ ni gbogbo òkú wà!
And it came to pass at night that the angel of the Lord went forth, an struck in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand: and they rose early in the morning, and, behold, [these were] all dead corpses.
36 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Sennakeribu ọba Asiria wọ àgọ́ ó sì padà, ó sì padà sí Ninefe ó sì dúró níbẹ̀.
And Sennacherim king of the Assyrians departed, and went and returned, and lived in Nineve.
37 Ní ọjọ́ kan, nígbà tí ó sùn nínú ilé òrìṣà Nisroki, ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ Adrameleki àti Ṣareseri gé e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà, wọ́n sì sálọ sí ilẹ̀ Ararati Esarhadoni ọmọkùnrin rẹ̀ sì jẹ ọba ní ipò rẹ̀.
And it came to pass, while he was worshipping in the house of Meserach his god, that Adramelech and Sarasar his sons struck him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararath; and Asordan his son reigned in his stead.
