Isaiah 36
1 Ní ọdún kẹrìnlá ìjọba Hesekiah, Sennakeribu ọba Asiria kọlu gbogbo àwọn ìlú olódi ní ilẹ̀ Juda ó sì kó gbogbo wọn.
In the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
2 Lẹ́yìn náà, ọba Asiria rán olórí ogun rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọmọ-ogun láti Lakiṣi sí ọba Hesekiah ní Jerusalẹmu. Nígbà tí ọ̀gágun náà dúró níbi ojúṣàn adágún ti apá òkè, ní ojú ọ̀nà sí pápá alágbàfọ̀,
And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, with a great army, against King Hezekiah, and he halted at the aqueduct of the upper pool, in the highway to the fuller's field.
3 Ṣebna Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah alábojútó ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé, àti Joah ọmọ Asafu akọ̀wé jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀.
Then came forth to him Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and Josh, the son of Asaph, the annalist.
4 Ọ̀gágun náà sọ fún wọn wí pé, “Ẹ sọ fún Hesekiah, “‘Èyí yìí ni ohun tí ọba ńlá, ọba Asiria sọ pé: Lórí i kí ni ìwọ gbé ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé tìrẹ yìí lé?
And Rabshakeh said to them, Say ye to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria: What a confidence is this which thou cherishest!
5 Ìwọ sọ wí pé ìwọ ní ète àti agbára ogun—ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ń sọ ọ̀rọ̀ asán. Ta ni ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tí ìwọ fi ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí mi?
Thou sayest, (but it is vain talk, ) “I have counsel and strength for war.” In whom, then, dost thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
6 Wò ó nísinsin yìí, ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ejibiti ẹ̀rún igi ọ̀pá lásán tí í gún ni lọ́wọ́ tí í sì í dọ́gbẹ́ sí ni lára tí a bá gbára lé e! Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Farao ọba Ejibiti sí àwọn tí ó bá gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e.
Behold, thou trustest in that broken reed-staff, Egypt, on which if a man lean, it will pierce his hand, and go through it. Such is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all that trust in him.
7 Bí o bá sì sọ fún mi pé, “Àwa gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa,” kì í ṣe òun ni Hesekiah ti mú àwọn ibi gíga àti pẹpẹ rẹ̀ kúrò, tí ó sì wí fún Juda àti Jerusalẹmu pé, “Ẹ̀yin gbọdọ̀ sìn níwájú pẹpẹ yìí”?
But if ye say to me, “We trust in Jehovah, our God,”—is it not he whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem to worship before this altar?
8 “‘Ẹ wá nísinsin yìí, bá ọ̀gá mi pa ìmọ̀ pọ̀, ọba Asiria, èmi yóò fún ọ ní ẹgbẹ̀rún méjì ẹṣin bí ìwọ bá le è fi agẹṣin lé wọn lórí!
Engage, now, with my master, the king of Assyria! and I will give thee two thousand horses, when thou art able to provide for thyself riders for them.
9 Báwo ni ẹ ṣe lè lé ẹyọ kan ṣoṣo padà nínú èyí tí ó kéré jù nínú àwọn balógun olúwa mi, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ẹ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Ejibiti fún kẹ̀kẹ́-ẹṣin àti àwọn ẹlẹ́ṣin?
How, then, canst thou resist a single captain, one of the least of the servants of my master? Yet thou trustest in Egypt, on account of her chariots and her horsemen.
10 Síwájú sí i, ǹjẹ́ mo wa lè wá bá ilẹ̀ yìí jà kí n sì pa á run láìsí Olúwa? Olúwa fún rara rẹ̀ ló sọ pé kí n bá orílẹ̀-èdè yìí jà kí n sì pa á run.’”
And am I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah hath said to me, “Go up against this land and destroy it!”
11 Lẹ́yìn náà ni Eliakimu, Ṣebna àti Joah sọ fún ọ̀gágun náà pé, “Jọ̀wọ́ máa bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ sọ̀rọ̀ ní èdè Aramaiki, nítorí pé àwa gbọ́ ọ. Má ṣe bá wa sọ̀rọ̀ ní èdè Heberu ní etí àwọn ènìyàn tí ó wà lórí ògiri mọ́.”
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Josh to Rabshakeh: Speak, we beseech thee, to thy servants in the Aramaic language, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jewish language, in the hearing of the people that are upon the wall.
12 Ṣùgbọ́n aláṣẹ dáhùn pé, “Ṣé fún ọ̀gá rẹ àti ìwọ nìkan ní ọ̀gá mi rán mi sí láti sọ àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí kì í sì í ṣe fún àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó jókòó lórí odi ni gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìwọ, ni yóò ní láti jẹ ìgbẹ́ ará wọn kí wọ́n sì mu ìtọ̀ ará wọn?”
But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to speak these words to thy master and to thee only, and not to the people who sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own urine with you?
13 Lẹ́yìn náà ni ọ̀gágun náà dìde tí ó sì ké síta ní èdè Heberu pé, “Ẹ gbọ́ àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ ọba ńlá, ọba Asiria!
Then Rabshakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
14 Ohun tí ọba wí nìyìí, Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah tàn yín jẹ. Òun kò le è gbà yín sílẹ̀!
Thus saith the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you, for he will not be able to deliver you.
15 Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah rọ̀ yín láti gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa nígbà tí ó sọ pé, ‘Olúwa yóò kúkú gbà wá; a kì yóò fi ìlú yìí lé ọba Asiria lọ́wọ́.’
And let not Hezekiah persuade you to trust in Jehovah, saying, “Jehovah will certainly deliver us. This city shall not be delivered into the hands of the king of Assyria.”
16 “Ẹ má ṣe tẹ́tí sí Hesekiah. Ohun tí ọba Asiria wí nìyìí. Ẹ fi ẹ̀bùn bá mi rẹ́, kí ẹ sì jáde tọ̀ mí wá. Lẹ́yìn náà, ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan yín yóò sì jẹ nínú àjàrà àti igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́ rẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni yóò sì mu omi nínú kànga rẹ̀,
Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus saith the king of Assyria: Make peace with me, and come out to me; and ye shall every one eat of his own vine, and every one of his own fig-tree, and ye shall every one drink the waters of his own cistern,
17 títí tí èmi yóò fi mú un yín lọ sí ilẹ̀ kan tí ó dàbí i tiyín, ilẹ̀ tí ó ní irúgbìn oníhóró àti wáìnì tuntun, ilẹ̀ tí ó ní àkàrà àti ọgbà àjàrà.
until I come, and take you to a land like your own land; a land of corn, and of new wine, a land of bread and of vineyards.
18 “Ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí Hesekiah ṣì yín lọ́nà nígbà tí ó sọ wí pé, ‘Olúwa yóò gbà wá.’ Ǹjẹ́ ọlọ́run orílẹ̀-èdè kan ha ti gbà á kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọba Asiria bí?
Be not persuaded by Hezekiah, when he saith, “Jehovah will deliver us.” Have the gods of the nations delivered every one his own land from the hand of the king of Assyria? Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arphad?
19 Níbo ni àwọn òrìṣà Hamati àti Arpadi ha wà? Níbo ni àwọn òrìṣà Sefarfaimi ha wà? Ǹjẹ́ wọn ti já Samaria gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi bí?
Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? And did the gods deliver Samaria from my hand?
20 Èwo nínú àwọn òrìṣà orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí ló ha ti dáàbò bo ilẹ̀ ẹ rẹ̀ kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi? Báwo ni Olúwa ṣe wá le gba Jerusalẹmu kúrò lọ́wọ́ mi?”
Who is there among all the gods of these lands, that hath delivered his land out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn náà dákẹ́ rọ́rọ́ wọn kò sì mú èsì kankan wá, nítorí ọba ti pàṣẹ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ má ṣe dá a lóhùn.”
But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, “Answer him not.”
22 Lẹ́yìn náà ni Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah alákòóso ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé àti Joah ọmọ Asafu akọ̀wé àkọsílẹ̀ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ Hesekiah pẹ̀lú aṣọ wọn ní fífàya, wọ́n sì sọ ohun tí ọ̀gágun ti wí.
Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the palace, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the annalist, to Hezekiah, with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
