< 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
It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and 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.
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
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.
They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.
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.”
It may be the LORD your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
5 Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ ọba Hesekiah lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Isaiah,
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
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.
Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall tell your master, 'Thus says the LORD, "Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
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.’”
Look, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by 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 Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.
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,
When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "Look, he has come out to fight against you," he sent messengers again to Hezekiah, 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.’
'Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, "Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
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?
Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will 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 delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the people of Eden that were in Telassar?
13 Níbo ni ọba Hamati wa, ọba Arpadi, ọba ìlú Sefarfaimi, ti Hena, tàbí ti Iffa gbé wà?”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?"'"
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.
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and 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.
Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, "The LORD, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of 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, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, with which he has sent to defy the living God.
17 “Òtítọ́ ni, Olúwa, wí pé ọba Asiria ti pa orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí run àti ilẹ̀ wọn.
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
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; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore 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.”
Now therefore, the LORD our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, LORD, are God alone."
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.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, 'Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard you.
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 that the LORD has spoken concerning him: "The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed 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 defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? 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 have defied the LORD, and have said, 'With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
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 dug and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.'
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.
Haven't you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now have I brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
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.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
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 sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against me.

Because of your raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, 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.
"'This shall be the sign to you: You shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat its fruit.
30 Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i ìyókù ti ilé Juda yóò sì tún hu gbòǹgbò lábẹ́, yóò sì so èso lókè.
The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will 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.
"Therefore thus says the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, 'He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up 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 that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come to 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.”
'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"

It happened that night, that the angel of the LORD went out, and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, look, these were all dead bodies.
36 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Sennakeribu ọba Asiria wọ àgọ́ ó sì padà, ó sì padà sí Ninefe ó sì dúró níbẹ̀.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived at Nineveh.

It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
