2 Kings 18
1 In the third year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz became king of Judah.
A I ke kolu o ka makahiki o Hosea ke keiki a Ela, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i noho alii ai o Hezekia, ke keiki a Ahaza, ke alii o ka Iuda.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.
He iwakaluakumamalima na makahiki ona i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a he iwakaluakumamaiwa na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Abi ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Zekaria.
3 And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, just as his father David had done.
A hana pono aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Davida kona kupuna i hana'i.
4 He removed the high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He also demolished the bronze snake called Nehushtan that Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had burned incense to it.
A lawe aku la ia i na heiau, wawahi iho la i na kii, a kua aku la i na kii o Aseterota, a ulupa iho la i ka nahesa keleawe a Mose i hana'i: no ka mea, a hiki i keia wa, ua kuni na mamo a Iseraela i ka mea ala ia ia, a kapa aku la kela ia mea, Nehusetana.
5 Hezekiah trusted in the LORD, the God of Israel. No king of Judah was like him, either before him or after him.
Hilinai iho la ia maluna o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela; a mahope ona, noho alii e like me ia o na'lii a pau o ka Iuda, aole hoi mamua ona.
6 He remained faithful to the LORD and did not turn from following Him; he kept the commandments that the LORD had given Moses.
No ka mea, hoopili aku oia ia Iehova, aole ia i haalele i ka hahai ana ia ia, aka, malama no ia i na kauoha a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.
7 And the LORD was with Hezekiah, and he prospered wherever he went. He rebelled against the king of Assyria and refused to serve him.
A o Iehova pu kekahi me ia, a ua pomaikai no ia i na wahi a pau ana i hele aku ai: a kipi aku la ia i ke alii o Asuria, aole ia i malama aku ia ia.
8 He defeated the Philistines as far as Gaza and its borders, from watchtower to fortified city.
Luku aku la ia i ko Pilisetia, a hiki i Gaza, a me kolaila mau mokuna, mai ka puukaua o ka poe kiai, a hiki i ke kulanakauhale paa i ka papohaku.
9 In the fourth year of Hezekiah’s reign, which was the seventh year of the reign of Hoshea son of Elah over Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria marched against Samaria and besieged it.
A i ka ha o ka makahiki o Hezekia, oia ka hiku o ka makahiki o Hosea, ke keiki a Ela, ke alii o ka Iseraela, hele ku e mai o Salemanesera, ke alii o Asuria, i Samaria, a hoopilikia ia ia.
10 And at the end of three years, the Assyrians captured it. So Samaria was captured in the sixth year of Hezekiah, which was the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel.
A pau na makahiki ekolu, hoopio lakou ia ia, i ke ono o ka makahiki o Hezekia, oia ka iwa o ka makahiki o Hosea ke alii o ka Iseraela, ua hoopioia o Samaria.
11 The king of Assyria exiled the Israelites to Assyria and settled them in Halah, in Gozan by the Habor River, and in the cities of the Medes.
A lawe pio aku la ke alii o Asuria i ka Iseraela, a hoonoho ia lakou ma Hala, a ma Habora ma ka muliwai o Gosana, a ma na kulanakauhale o ko Media.
12 This happened because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD their God, but violated His covenant—all that Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded—and would neither listen nor obey.
No ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova ko lakou Akua, a ua hai ia lakou kana berita, a me na mea a pau a Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova, i kauoha mai ai, aole lakou i malama, aole hoi i hana.
13 In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Sennacherib king of Assyria attacked and captured all the fortified cities of Judah.
A i ka umikumamaha o ka makahiki o Hezekia ke alii, hele ku e mai o Senakeriba, ke alii o Asuria, i na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda, i paa i ka papohaku, a hoopio iho la ia lakou.
14 So Hezekiah king of Judah sent word to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have done wrong; withdraw from me, and I will pay whatever you demand from me.” And the king of Assyria exacted from Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.
A hoouna aku la o Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ke alii o Suria ma Lakisa, i aku la, Ua hana hewa au: e hoi oe mai o'u aku la; a o ka mea au e kau mai maluna o'u, na'u no ia e hali. A kau mai ke alii o Asuria maluna o Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ekolu haneri talena kala, a i kanakolu talena gula.
15 Hezekiah gave him all the silver that was found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace.
Haawi aku la o Hezekia i ke kala a pau i loaa ma ka hale o Iehova, a ma ka waihona kala o ka halo o ke alii.
16 At that time Hezekiah stripped the gold with which he had plated the doors and doorposts of the temple of the LORD, and he gave it to the king of Assyria.
A ia manawa hemo aku la o Hezekia i ke gula ma na pani puka o ka luakini o Iehova, a ma na lapauwila a Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda i kau ai, a haawi aku la oia ia mau mea i ke alii o Asuria.
17 Nevertheless, the king of Assyria sent the Tartan, the Rabsaris, and the Rabshakeh, along with a great army, from Lachish to King Hezekiah at Jerusalem. They advanced up to Jerusalem and stationed themselves by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field.
A hoouna mai la ke alii o Asuria ia Taretana, a ia Rabesarisa, a me Rabesake mai Lakisa aku io Hezekia la ke alii, me ka poe kaua nui i Ierusalema. Pii ae la lakou, a hele mai i Ierusalema. A i ko lakou pii ana, hele mai lakou a ku ma ke kahawai o ka loko maluna ma ke ala o ke kihapai o ka mea holoi.
18 Then they called for the king; and Eliakim son of Hilkiah the palace administrator, Shebnah the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph the recorder, went out to them.
A i ko lakou kahea ana'ku i ke alii, hele mai io lakou la o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, ka luna o ko ka hale, a o Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me Ioa ke keiki a Asapa ke kakaumooolelo.
19 The Rabshakeh said to them, “Tell Hezekiah that this is what the great king, the king of Assyria, says: What is the basis of this confidence of yours?
I mai la o Rabesake ia lakou, E olelo aku oukou ano ia Hezekia, Penei ka olelo a ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria, Heaha keia hilinai au e hilinai nei?
20 You claim to have a strategy and strength for war, but these are empty words. In whom are you now trusting, that you have rebelled against me?
Ke i mai nei oe, (aka, he olelo a na lehelehe wale no, ) He ike ko'u, a he ikaika hoi no ke kaua. Ano, ea, maluna owai kau e hilinai nei, i kipi mai ai oe ia'u?
21 Look now, you are trusting in Egypt, that splintered reed of a staff that will pierce the hand of anyone who leans on it. Such is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.
Ano hoi, ke hilinai nei oe maluna o ke kookoo o keia ohe pepe, maluna o Aigupita, ka mea a ke kanaka e hilinai, e komo no ia iloko o kona lima, a puka iho la: pela no o Parao i ka poe a pau e hilinai ana maluna ona.
22 But if you say to me, ‘We trust in the LORD our God,’ is He not the One whose high places and altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem: ‘You must worship before this altar in Jerusalem’?
A ina e olelo mai oukou ia'u, Ke hilinai nei makou maluna o Iehova ko makou Akua: aole anei oia ka mea, nona na heiau, a nona hoi na kuahu a Hezekia i lawe aku ai, a i olelo aku i ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, Imua o keia kuahu i Ierusalema nei oukou e kulou ai?
23 Now, therefore, make a bargain with my master, the king of Assyria. I will give you two thousand horses—if you can put riders on them!
Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai i nku panai na kuu haku, na ke alii o Asuria, a e haawi aku au ia oe i elua tausani lio, ina e hiki ia oe ke kau aku i na hoohololio maluna o lakou.
24 For how can you repel a single officer among the least of my master’s servants when you depend on Egypt for chariots and horsemen?
A pehea la oe e hoohuli ae i ka maka o kekahi luna o na kauwa uuku a kuu haku, a hilinai ae maluna o Aigupita no na halekaa, a no na hoohololio?
25 So now, was it apart from the LORD that I have come up against this place to destroy it? The LORD Himself said to me, ‘Go up against this land and destroy it.’”
Ano hoi, ua hele wale mai anei an, aole o Iehova kekahi, e ku e i keia wahi e luku aku ai? O Iehova ka i olelo mai ia'u, E pii ku e oe i keia wahi, a e luku aku ia.
26 Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah, along with Shebnah and Joah, said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Do not speak with us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall.”
Alaila i aku la o Eliakima ke keiki a Hilekia, a o Sebena a me Ioa, ia Rabesake, Ke noi aku nei au, e olelo mai oe i kau mau kauwa ma ka olelo a Suria, no ka mea, ua ike makou ia: a mai olelo mai oe ia makou ma ka Iudaio iloko o na pepeiao o na kanaka maluna o ka papohaku.
27 But the Rabshakeh replied, “Has my master sent me to speak these words only to you and your master, and not to the men sitting on the wall, who are destined with you to eat their own dung and drink their own urine?”
I mai la o Rabesake ia lakou, Ua hoouna mai anei kuu haku ia'u e olelo aku i keia mau olelo i kou haku, a ia oe wale no? aole anei i na kanaka kekahi e noho ana maluna o ka papohaku, e ai pu ai lakou me oukou i ko lakou lepo iho, a e inu hoi i ko lakou waimimi?
28 Then the Rabshakeh stood and called out loudly in Hebrew: “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!
A ku ae la o Rabesake, a kahea aku la me ka leo nui, ma ka Iudaio, a olelo aku, i aku la, E hoolohe i ka olelo a ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria.
29 This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you; he cannot deliver you from my hand.
Ke olelo mai nei ke alii peneia, E malama o hoopunipuniia oukou e Hezekia: no ka mea, aole e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele ia oukou mai kona lima mai.
30 Do not let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the LORD when he says, ‘The LORD will surely deliver us; this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.’
A mai hoolana o Hezekia ia oukou maluna o Iehova, i ka i ana 'ku, He oiaio, na Iehova kakou e hoopakele, aole e hooliloia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Asuria.
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me. Then every one of you will eat from his own vine and his own fig tree, and drink water from his own cistern,
Mai hoolohe oukou ia Hezekia: no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei ke alii o Asuria peneia, E hana oukou i haawina na'u, a e hele mai oukou iwaho io'u nei, alaila e ai oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona huawaina iho, a o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona huafiku iho, a e inu oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka wai o kana lua iho;
32 until I come and take you away to a land like your own—a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive trees and honey—so that you may live and not die. But do not listen to Hezekiah, for he misleads you when he says, ‘The LORD will deliver us.’
A hiki mai au, a e lawe aku ia oukou i ka aina e like me ko oukou aina, he aina palaoa, a me ka waina, he aina berena, a me na pawaina, he aina aila oliva, a me ka meli, i ola oukou, aole hoi e make: a mai hoolohe oukou ia Hezekia, no ka mea, ke hoowalewale mai nei ia ia oukou, i ka i ana mai, Na Iehova kakou e hoopakele.
33 Has the god of any nation ever delivered his land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
Ua hoopakele iki anei kekahi o na akua o na lahuikanaka e i kona aina mai ka lima mai o ke alii o Asuria?
34 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria from my hand?
Auhea na akua o Hamata, a o Arepada? auhea na akua o Separevaima, o Hena, a me Iva? Ua hoopakele anei lakou ia Samaria mai ko'u lima aku?
35 Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered his land from my hand? How then can the LORD deliver Jerusalem from my hand?”
Owai la ka mea o na akua a pau o na aina, nana i hoopakele ko lakou aina mai kuu lima aku, i hoopakele mai ai o Iehova ia Ierusalema mai kuu lima aku?
36 But the people remained silent and did not answer a word, for Hezekiah had commanded, “Do not answer him.”
Aka, noho malie iho la na kanaka aole lakou i pane leo iki aku ia ia: no ka mea, oia ke kauoha a ke alii, i ka i ana ae, Mai olelo aku ia ia.
37 Then Hilkiah’s son Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and Asaph’s son Joah the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and they relayed to him the words of the Rabshakeh.
Alaila hele mai o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, ka luna o ko ka hale, a o Sebena ke kakanolelo, a o Ioa ke keiki a Asapa ke kakaumooolelo, ia Hezekia, me na aahu i haehaeia, a hai mai ia ia i na olelo a Rabesake.
