Isaiah 36
1 Ní ọdún kẹrìnlá ìjọba Hesekiah, Sennakeribu ọba Asiria kọlu gbogbo àwọn ìlú olódi ní ilẹ̀ Juda ó sì kó gbogbo wọn.
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, that 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,
Then did the king of Assyria send Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto King Hezekiah with a heavy force, —and he took his stand by the upper channel of the pool, in the highway of the fuller’s field.
3 Ṣebna Eliakimu ọmọ Hilkiah alábojútó ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé, àti Joah ọmọ Asafu akọ̀wé jáde lọ pàdé rẹ̀.
And there went out to him—Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, —and Shebna, the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder.
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 unto them, Pray you say unto Hezekiah, —Thus, saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What is this trust, wherewith thou dost trust?
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?
I have said [sayest thou] —they are only words of the lips—Counsel and might have I for the war, —Now, upon whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled 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.
Lo! thou dost trust on the support of this bruised cane, on Egypt, whereon if a man lean it will enter his hand and lay it open, —So, is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust upon 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 thou shouldst say unto me, In Yahweh our God, do we trust, Then is that not he whose high places and whose altars, Hezekiah hath removed, and said unto Judah and unto Jerusalem, Before this altar, shall ye bow yourselves down?
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!
Now, therefore, pledge thyself I pray thee with my lord, the king of Assyria, —That I supply thee with two thousand horses, If thou on thy part be able to set riders upon 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 wilt thou turn away the face of one pasha of the least of my lord’s servants? Or hast thou on thy part trusted upon Egypt, for chariots and for 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.’”
But, now, is it, without Yahweh, that I have come up against this land to destroy it? Yahweh himself, said unto me, Go thou 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 Joah, unto Rabshakeh—Speak we pray thee unto thy servants in the Syrian language, for we, can, understand, it, —and do not speak unto us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people who 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—Is it unto thy lord and unto thee, that my lord hath sent me, to speak these things? Is it not concerning the men who are tarrying upon the wall, that they may eat and drink what cometh from them, 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!
So then Rabshakeh took his stand, and cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ 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 shall 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.’
Neither let Hezekiah cause you to trust in Yahweh saying, Yahweh, will certainly deliver, us, —this city shall not be given over, into the hand 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,
Do not hearken unto Hezekiah, —for, thus, saith the king of Assyria, Deal with me thankfully, and come out unto me, Then shall ye eat, Every one of his own vine and Every one of his own fig-tree, And drink every one 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, into A land like your own land, —A land of corn and new wine, A land of bread and 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?
Lest Hezekiah, persuade you, saying, Yahweh will deliver us! Have the gods of the nations, delivered, —any one of them—his country, out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
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 Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? If indeed they had only delivered Samaria, out of 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 are they, among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand? That, Yahweh, 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 they held their peace, and answered him not a word, —for the command of the king, it was, saying, —Ye must not answer him.
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 in—Eliakim son of Hilkiah who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the recorder, unto Hezekiah, with rent clothes, —and they told him the words of Rabshakeh.
