Isaiah 37
1 Ke na pacl se Tokosra Hezekiah el lohng ma elos fahk nu sel, el asor ac seya nuknuk lal, ac nokomang nuknuk yohk eoa, ac som nu in Tempul lun LEUM GOD.
When King Hezekiah heard it, he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD’s house.
2 El supwalla Eliakim, mwet liyaung inkul sin tokosra; Shebna, mwet sim lun inkul fulat; ac mwet matu inmasrlon mwet tol nu yorol mwet palu Isaiah wen natul Amoz. Elos wi pac nukum nuknuk yohk eoa.
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 Pa inge kas ma el sap elos in tuh fahk nu sel Isaiah: “Misenge sie len in keok. Kalyeiyuk ac akmwekinyeyuk kut. Kut oana sie mutan su akola in isus tuh arulana munas in oswela.
They said to him, “Hezekiah says, ‘Today is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to give birth.
4 Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria el supwama sie mwet kol fulat lal in tuh fahk kas in akkolukye God moul. Lela LEUM GOD lom in lohng kas in akkoluk inge, ac kaelos su fahk kas inge. Ke ma inge, pre nu sin God ke mwet lasr su painmoulla.”
It may be the LORD your God will hear 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 Ke Isaiah el eis kas sel Tokosra Hezekiah inge,
So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 el folokunulosla ke top se inge: “Fahkang nu sel tokosra lah LEUM GOD El fahk mu elan tia lela mwet Assyria in aksangengyal ke kas in akkoluk ma elos fahk.
Isaiah said to them, “Tell your master, ‘The LORD says, “Don’t be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 LEUM GOD El ac oru Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria elan lohngak sie sramsram ma ac oru elan folokla nu in facl sel sifacna, na LEUM GOD El ac oru elan anwuki we.”
Behold, 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 Mwet kol fulat lun Assyria el lohngak lah Tokosra Fulat el som liki acn Lachish ac mweuni siti Libnah, su oan apkuran nu Lachish. Ouinge el som nu we in lolngok yorol.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.
9 Kas se sun mwet Assyria lah un mwet mweun lun Egypt, ye kolyuk lun Tokosra Tirhakah lun Ethiopia, ac tuku in mweunelos. Ke Tokosra Fulat sac lohngak ma inge el supwala leta se nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah
He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, “He has come out to fight against you.” When he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 lun Judah in tuh fahk nu sel, “God se ma kom lulalfongi kac el fahk nu sum mu kom ac tia sruhu sik, tusruktu nimet kom lela kas ingan in kiapwekomla.
“Thus you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, ‘Don’t let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem won’t be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”
11 Kom lohng tari ma kutena tokosra fulat lun Assyria elos oru nu sin mutunfacl se elos sulela in kunausla. Ya kom nunku mu kom ku in kaingla?
Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you be delivered?
12 Mwet matu luk somla elos kunausla siti lun Gozan, Haran, ac Rezeph, ac onela pac mwet Betheden su muta Telassar, a wangin god lalos tuh ku in molelosla.
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the children of Eden who were in Telassar?
13 Pia tokosra lun siti Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, ac Ivvah?”
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?’”
14 Tokosra Hezekiah el eisla leta sac sin mwet se ma use ah, ac riti. Na el som nu in Tempul, ac filiya leta sac ye mutun LEUM GOD,
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the LORD’s house, and spread it before the LORD.
15 ac pre,
Hezekiah prayed to the LORD, saying,
16 “O LEUM GOD Kulana, God lun Israel, su muta lucng liki cherub luo, kom mukena pa God su leumi tokosrai nukewa fin faclu. Kom orala kusrao ac faclu.
“LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned amongst the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.
17 Inge, LEUM GOD, lohng kut ac liye ma sikyak nu sesr. Porongo ma nukewa ma Sennacherib el fahk in akkolukye kom, God moul.
Turn your ear, LORD, and hear. Open your eyes, LORD, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
18 O LEUM GOD, kut nukewa etu lah tokosra fulat lun acn Assyria elos tuh kunausla mutunfacl puspis, sukela acn selos,
Truly, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
19 ac esukak god lalos — su tia god pwaye, a ma sruloala ma poun mwet taflela ke eot ac sak.
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 Ke ma inge, LEUM GOD lasr, molikutla liki poun mwet Assyria, tuh mutunfacl nukewa fin faclu fah etu lah kom mukena pa God.”
Now therefore, LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are the LORD, even you only.”
21 Na Isaiah el supwala kas nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah in fahk lah lohngyuk pre lal kacl Sennacherib, tokosra lun Assyria,
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, “The LORD, the God of Israel says, ‘Because you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22 ac LEUM GOD El fahk ouinge, “Siti Jerusalem isrun kom, Sennacherib, ac orek tafunkas keim.
this is the word which 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.
23 Su kom nunku mu kom kaskou nu se, ku akkolukye uh? Kom arulana akpusiselyeyu, God Mutal lun Israel!
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.
24 Kom supwama mwet tafweyom in tungak nu sik mu chariot puspis nutum oru kom fanukya fineol ma fulat liki nukewa in acn Lebanon. Kom konkin pac mu kom pakiya sak cedar ma fulat emeet ac sak cypress ma wo emeet we, ac kom som loallana nu insak uh.
By your servants, 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. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice cypress trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
25 Kom konkin pac mu kom pukanak lufin kof in acn sin mwetsac ac nim kof kac, oayapa falken mwet mweun lom lolongya Infacl Nile pulamlamla.
I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.”
26 “Ya kom soenna lohng lah nga nuna akoo ma inge ke pacl loeloes somla? Ac inge nga orala tari. Nga pa sot nu sum ku in ekulla siti potyak nu ke yol in kutkut.
“‘Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them into ruinous heaps.
27 Mwet ma muta in acn ingo wangin ma elos ku in oru; elos sangeng ac fohsak. Elos oana mah inimae, ku mah ma kapak fin lohm uh ke pacl eng fol kutulap me tuhyak ac okla.
Therefore their inhabitants had little power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the housetops, and like a field before its crop has grown.
28 “Tusruktu nga etu ma nukewa keim, ma kom oru ac yen kom ac som nu we. Nga etu lupan mongsa lom lainyu.
But I know your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging against me.
29 Nga lohng tari pungen kasrkusrak lom ac inse fulat lom, ac inge nga ac sang sie ring srumasrla infwem ac soko osra nu inwalum, ac amakin kom folokla ke innek soko na kom tuku kac.”
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.
30 Na Isaiah el fahk nu sel Tokosra Hezekiah, “Pa inge sie akul ke ma ac fah sikyak. Yac se inge ac yac fahsru uh kom ac fah mongo wheat inima mukena, tusruktu ke yac se toko an kom ac fah ku in yukwiya wheat sunom ac kosrani pac kac, ac yukwiya oa in grape ac mongo grape kac.
“‘This shall be the sign to you: You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from it; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
31 Elos su painmoulla in acn Judah elos ac kapak oana sak ma okah kac kapla loal nu infohk uh ac rukruk fahko.
The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 Ac fah oasr mwet in Jerusalem ac fin Eol Zion su ac fah painmoulla, mweyen LEUM GOD Kulana El wotela tari sel mu ac ouinge.
For out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Armies will perform this.’
33 “Ac pa inge ma LEUM GOD El fahk ke Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria: ‘El ac fah tia utyak nu in siti se inge ku pisrikya sokofanna osra in pisr natul nu kac. Wangin mwet mweun su us mwe loeyuk ac fah tuku apkuran nu ke siti uh, oayapa ac fah wangin ma ac etoatyak elos in fanyak kac nu in siti uh.
“Therefore the LORD says concerning the king of Assyria, ‘He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
34 El ac fah folokla ke inkanek soko na el tuku kac, ac tia utyak nu in siti se inge. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ma inge.
He will return the way that he came, and he won’t come to this city,’ says the LORD.
35 Nga fah loango siti se inge ac liyaung ke sripen Inek sifacna, ac ke sripen wuleang su nga tuh orala nu sel David, mwet kulansap luk.’”
‘For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.’”
36 Sie lipufan lun LEUM GOD som nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet mweun Assyria ac onela mwet mweun tausin siofok oalngoul limekosr. Toangna in len tok ah elos nukewa alapelik misa!
Then the LORD’s angel went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37 Na Sennacherib, Tokosra Fulat lun Assyria, el tila mweun a el folokla nu Nineveh, yen sel.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
38 Sie len ah ke el alu in tempul lun Nisroch, god lal, luo sin wen natul ah, Adrammelech ac Sharezer, unilya ke cutlass natultal, ac kaingla nu in facl Ararat. Esarhaddon, sie pac sin wen natul, el aolulla in tokosra fulat.
As he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esar Haddon his son reigned in his place.
