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 it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went 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, 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 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 said to him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
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.”
It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 Nígbà tí àwọn ìjòyè ọba Hesekiah dé ọ̀dọ̀ Isaiah,
So the servants of 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 said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have 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.’”
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumor, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own 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 Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he had 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,
And he heard it said concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent 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 speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
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?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
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?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden who [were] in 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 city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
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.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up to the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 Hesekiah sì gbàdúrà sí Olúwa:
And Hezekiah prayed to 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 hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the cherubim, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and 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.
Incline thy ear, O LORD, and hear; open thy eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 “Òtítọ́ ni Olúwa pé àwọn ọba Asiria ti sọ àwọn ènìyàn àti ilẹ̀ wọn di asán.
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
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 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.
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.”
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD, [even] thou only.
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 son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
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 word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, [and] derided thee; the daughter of Jerusalem 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!
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed; and against whom hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted thy eyes on high? [even] 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 servants hast thou reproached the LORD, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots have I come up to the hight of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, [and] its choice fir-trees: and I will enter into the hight of its border, [and] the forest of its Carmel.
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 have digged, and drank water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
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 long ago, [how] I have done it; [and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldst be to lay waste fortified cities [into] ruinous heaps.
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.
Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the house-tops, and [as corn] blasted before it is grown up.
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 abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage 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 thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which 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 [shall be] a sign to thee, Ye shall eat [this] year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
31 Lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i, àṣẹ́kù láti ilé Juda yóò ta gbòǹgbò nísàlẹ̀ yóò sì ṣo èso lókè.
And the remnant that hath escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
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 Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape from mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts will do 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 saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a mound 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 way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, 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 city, to save it for my own sake, and for my servant David's 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 forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, 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 Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
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 it came to pass, as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
