< Isaiah 37 >
1 Nígbà tí ọba Hesekiah gbọ́ èyí, ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya, ó sì fi aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ bo ara rẹ̀, ó sì wọ inú tẹmpili Olúwa lọ.
And when the King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the House of the Lord.
2 Òun sì rán Eliakimu alákòóso ààfin, Ṣebna akọ̀wé, àti aṣíwájú àwọn àlùfáà, gbogbo wọn nínú aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ wòlíì Isaiah ọmọ Amosi.
And he sent Eliakim the stewarde of the house, aud Shebna the chanceller, with the Elders of the Priestes, clothed in sackcloth vnto Isaiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz.
3 Wọ́n sọ fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Hesekiah wí, ọjọ́ òní jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìbànújẹ́, ìbáwí àti ẹ̀gàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìgbà ìbí àwọn ọmọdé tí kò sì ṣí agbára láti bí wọn.
And they sayd vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemie: for the children are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
4 Ó lè jẹ́ pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ọ̀gágun ẹni tí ọ̀gá rẹ̀ ọba Asiria ti rán láti fi Ọlọ́run alààyè ṣe ẹlẹ́yà, àti pé òun ni yóò bá a wí nítorí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ti gbọ́. Nítorí náà gbàdúrà fún àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù tí wọ́n sì wà láààyè.”
If so be the Lord thy God hath heard the wordes of Rabshakeh, whom the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
5 Nígbà tí àwọn ìjòyè ọba Hesekiah dé ọ̀dọ̀ Isaiah,
So the seruants of the King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Isaiah sọ fún wọn pé, “Ẹ sọ fún ọ̀gá yín pé, ‘Ohun tí Olúwa sọ nìyìí. Má ṣe bẹ̀rù ohun tí ẹ ti gbọ́ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí ọba Asiria tí ó wà nínú ìdè ti fi sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí mi.
And Isaiah sayde vnto them, Thus say vnto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afrayd of the wordes that thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
7 Tẹ́tí sílẹ̀! Èmi yóò fi ẹ̀mí kan sínú rẹ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ó fi jẹ́ pé bí o bá ti gbọ́ ìròyìn kan, òun yóò padà sí orílẹ̀-èdè rẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni n ó sì ti jẹ́ kí wọn ké e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà.’”
Beholde, I wil send a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his owne land.
8 Nígbà tí ọ̀gágun gbọ́ pé ọba Asiria ti fi Lakiṣi sílẹ̀, ó padà sẹ́yìn, ó sì bá ọba tí ń bá Libina jà.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 Ní àkókò yìí Sennakeribu gbọ́ ìròyìn kan pé Tirakah ará Kuṣi ọba Ejibiti ń jáde bọ̀ wá bá òun jà. Nígbà tí ó gbọ́ èyí, ó rán oníṣẹ́ sí Hesekiah pẹ̀lú ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí,
He heard also men say of Tirhakah, King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: and when he heard it, he sent other messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 “Ẹ sọ fún Hesekiah ọba Juda pé: Má ṣe jẹ́ kí òrìṣà tí ìwọ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé tàn ọ́ jẹ nígbà tí ó sọ pé, ‘A kì yóò jọ̀wọ́ Jerusalẹmu fún ọba Asiria.’
Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, saying, Let not thy God deceiue thee, in whom thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be giuen into the hand of the King of Asshur.
11 Dájúdájú, ìwọ ti gbọ́ ohun tí ọba Asiria ti ṣe sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, tí ó pa wọ́n run pátápátá. Ǹjẹ́ a ó ha dá ọ nídè bí?
Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all lands in destroying them, and shalt thou be deliuered?
12 Ǹjẹ́ àwọn òrìṣà àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí àwọn baba ńlá mi parun ha gbà wọ́n sílẹ̀ bí àwọn òrìṣà Gosani, Harani, Reṣefu àti àwọn ènìyàn Edeni tí wọ́n wà ní Teli-Assari?
Haue the gods of the nations deliuered them, which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Telassar?
13 Níbo ni ọba Hamati wà, ọba Arpadi, ọba ìlú Sefarfaimi tàbí Hena tàbí Iffa?”
Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
14 Hesekiah gba ìwé náà lọ́wọ́ àwọn oníṣẹ́ ó sì kà á. Lẹ́yìn náà ni ó gòkè lọ sí tẹmpili Olúwa ó sì tẹ́ ìwé náà sílẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa.
So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went vp into the House of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
15 Hesekiah sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa:
And Hezekiah prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
16 Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun, Ọlọ́run Israẹli, tí ó gúnwà láàrín àwọn kérúbù, ìwọ nìkan ni Ọlọ́run lórí i gbogbo ìjọba orílẹ̀ ayé. Ìwọ ti dá ọ̀run àti ayé.
O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth.
17 Tẹ́tí sílẹ̀, ìwọ Olúwa, kí o gbọ́, ya ojú rẹ, Ìwọ Olúwa, kí o rí i; tẹ́tí sí gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí Sennakeribu rán láti fi àbùkù kan Ọlọ́run alààyè.
Encline thine eare, O Lord, and heare: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and heare all the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
18 “Òtítọ́ ni Olúwa pé àwọn ọba Asiria ti sọ àwọn ènìyàn àti ilẹ̀ wọn di asán.
Trueth it is, O Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed all lands, and their countrey,
19 Wọ́n ti da àwọn òrìṣà wọn sínú iná wọ́n sì ti pa wọ́n run, nítorí àwọn wọ̀nyí kì í ṣe ọlọ́run bí kò ṣe igi àti òkúta lásán, tí a ti ọwọ́ ènìyàn ṣe.
And haue cast their gods in ye fire: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood or stone: therefore they destroyed them.
20 Nísinsin yìí, ìwọ Olúwa, Ọlọ́run wa, gbà wá lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀, tí ó fi jẹ́ pé gbogbo ìjọba ilẹ̀ ayé yóò fi mọ̀ pé Ìwọ, Ìwọ nìkan, Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run.”
Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, saue thou vs out of his hand, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou onely art the Lord.
21 Lẹ́yìn náà Isaiah ọmọ Amosi rán iṣẹ́ kan sí Hesekiah: “Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa, Ọlọ́run Israẹli sọ pé, nítorí pé ìwọ ti gbàdúrà sí mi nípa Sennakeribu ọba Asiria,
Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent vnto Hezekiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Because thou hast prayed vnto me, concerning Saneherib king of Asshur,
22 èyí ni ọ̀rọ̀ tí Olúwa ti sọ nípa rẹ̀: “Wúńdíá ọmọbìnrin Sioni ti kẹ́gàn rẹ, ó sì ti fi ọ ṣe ẹlẹ́yà. Ọmọbìnrin Jerusalẹmu ti mi orí rẹ̀ bí ó ti ń sálọ.
This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, the virgine, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: the daughter of Ierusalem, hath shaken her head at thee.
23 Ta ni ìwọ ti bú tí ìwọ sì ti sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí? Sí ta ní ìwọ ti gbé ohùn rẹ sókè tí o sì gbé ojú rẹ sókè ní ìgbéraga? Sí Ẹni Mímọ́ Israẹli!
Whome hast thou railed on and blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the holy one of Israel.
24 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 ti dé ibi rẹ̀ tí ó ga jùlọ, igbó rẹ̀ tí ó dára jùlọ.
By thy seruants hast thou railed on the Lord, and sayd, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the top of the mountaines to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe vp to the heightes of his top and to the forest of his fruitfull places.
25 Èmi ti gbẹ́ kànga ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì mo sì mu omi ní ibẹ̀, pẹ̀lú àtẹ́lẹsẹ̀ mi Èmi ti gbẹ́ gbogbo omi àwọn odò Ejibiti.’
I haue digged and drunke the waters, and with the plant of my feete haue I dryed all the riuers closed in.
26 “Ṣé o kò tí ì gbọ́? Tipẹ́tipẹ́ ni mo ti fìdí rẹ̀ mulẹ̀. Láti ìgbà pípẹ́ ni mo ti ṣètò rẹ̀; ní àkókò yìí ni mo mú wá sí ìmúṣẹ, pé o ti sọ àwọn ìlú olódi di àkójọpọ̀ àwọn òkúta.
Hast thou not heard howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and layde on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
27 Àwọn ènìyàn, tí agbára ti wọ̀ lẹ́wù, ni wọ́n banújẹ́ tí a sì dójútì. Wọ́n dàbí ohun ọ̀gbìn nínú pápá, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọ̀jẹ̀lẹ̀ èhíhù tuntun, gẹ́gẹ́ bí i koríko tí ó ń hù lórí òrùlé, tí ó jóná kí ó tó dàgbàsókè.
Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afrayd and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field and greene herbe, or grasse on the house tops, or corne blassed afore it be growen.
28 “Ṣùgbọ́n mo mọ ibi tí o wà àti ìgbà tí o wá tí o sì lọ àti bí inú rẹ ṣe ru sí mi.
But I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy fury against me.
29 Nítorí pé inú rẹ ru sí mi àti nítorí pé orí kunkun rẹ ti dé etí ìgbọ́ mi, Èmi yóò fi ìwọ̀ mi sí ọ ní imú, àti ìjẹ mi sí ọ lẹ́nu, èmi yóò sì jẹ́ kí o padà láti ọ̀nà tí o gbà wá.
Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vnto mine eares, therefore will I put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lips, and wil bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
30 “Èyí ni yóò ṣe àmì fún ọ, ìwọ Hesekiah: “Ní ọdún yìí, ìwọ yóò jẹ ohun tí ó hù fúnra rẹ̀, àti ní ọdún kejì ohun tí ó jáde láti ara rẹ. Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún kẹta, ẹ gbìn kí ẹ sì kórè, ẹ gbin ọgbà àjàrà kí ẹ sì jẹ èso wọn.
And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such as groweth of it selfe: and the second yeere, such things as growe without sowing: and in the third yeere, sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyards, and eate the fruite thereof.
31 Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, àṣẹ́kù láti ilé Juda yóò ta gbòǹgbò nísàlẹ̀ yóò sì ṣo èso lókè.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downward and beare fruite vpward.
32 Nítorí láti Jerusalẹmu ni àwọn àṣẹ́kù yóò ti wá, àti láti òkè Sioni ni ikọ̀ àwọn tí ó sálà. Ìtara Olúwa àwọn ọmọ-ogun ni yóò mú èyí ṣẹ.
For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
33 “Nítorí náà, èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa wí nípa ọba Asiria, “Òun kì yóò wọ ìlú yìí wá tàbí ta ẹyọ ọfà kan níhìn-ín Òun kì yóò wá síwájú rẹ pẹ̀lú asà tàbí kí ó kó dágunró sílẹ̀ fún un.
Therefore thus sayth the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
34 Nípa ọ̀nà tí ó gbà wá náà ni yóò padà lọ; òun kì yóò wọ inú ìlú yìí,” ni Olúwa wí.
By the same way that he came, he shall returne, and not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
35 “Èmi yóò dáàbò bo ìlú yìí èmi ó sì gbà á là, nítorí mi àti nítorí Dafidi ìránṣẹ́ mi!”
For I will defend this citie to saue it, for mine owne sake, and for my seruant Dauids sake.
36 Lẹ́yìn náà ni angẹli Olúwa jáde lọ ó sì pa ọ̀kẹ́ mẹ́sàn-án ó lé ẹgbẹ̀ẹ́dọ́gbọ̀n ènìyàn ní i ibùdó àwọn Asiria. Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn yìí jí ní òwúrọ̀ ọjọ́ kejì gbogbo wọn ti dòkú!
Then the Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth, fourescore, and fiue thousand: so when they arose early in the morning, beholde, they were all dead corpses.
37 Nítorí náà Sennakeribu ọba Asiria fọ́ bùdó ó sì pẹsẹ̀dà. Òun sì padà sí Ninefe, ó sì dúró síbẹ̀.
So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh.
38 Ní ọjọ́ kan, bí ó ti ń jọ́sìn nínú tẹmpili Nisroki òrìṣà rẹ̀, àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ Adrameleki àti Ṣareseri gé e lulẹ̀ pẹ̀lú idà, wọ́n sì sálọ sí ilẹ̀ Ararati. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Esarhadoni ọmọ rẹ̀ sì gba ipò rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba.
And as he was in the temple worshipping of Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
