< 2 Kings 19 >

1 On hearing this report, King Hezekiah tore his clothes, put on sackcloth, and entered the house of the LORD.
A LOHE ae la o Hezekia ke alii, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu, a hoouhi ia ia iho i ke kapa inoino, a komo aku la ia i ka hale o Iehova.
2 And he sent Eliakim the palace administrator, Shebna the scribe, and the leading priests, all wearing sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah son of Amoz
Hoouna aku la ia ia Eliakima ka luna o ko ka hale, a me Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me ka poe kahiko o na kahuna i hoouhiia i na kapa inoino, io Isaia la ke kaula, ke keiki a Amoza.
3 to tell him, “This is what Hezekiah says: Today is a day of distress, rebuke, and disgrace; for children have come to the point of birth, but there is no strength to deliver them.
I aku la lakou ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Hezekia peneia, O keia la, he la pilikia, poino a me ka hoowahawana: no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka manawa e hanau ai na keiki, aohe ikaika e hanau mai ai.
4 Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to defy the living God, and He will rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore lift up a prayer for the remnant that still survives.”
Malia paha e hoolohe mai o Iehova kou Akua i na olelo a pau a Rabesake, ka mea a ke alii o Asuria kona haku i hoouna mai ai e hoino i ke Akua ola; a e ahewa aku i na olelo a Iehova kou Akua i lohe ai; nolaila e pule aku oe no ka poe i koe i loaa.
5 So the servants of King Hezekiah went to Isaiah,
A hiki aku na kauwa a Hezekia ke alii io Isaia la.
6 who replied, “Tell your master that this is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid of the words you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.
I mai la o Isaia ia lakou, Penei oukou e olelo aku ai i ko oukou haku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Mai makau oe i na olelo au i lohe ai, i ka mea a na kauwa a ke alii o Asuria i hoohiki ino mai ai ia'u.
7 Behold, I will put a spirit in him so that he will hear a rumor and return to his own land, where I will cause him to fall by the sword.’”
Aia hoi, e hoouna au i makani io na la, a e lohe no ia i ka lono, a hoi aku i kona aina; a e hoohaule iho au ia ia i ka pahikaua ma kona aina iho.
8 When the Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he withdrew and found the king fighting against Libnah.
A hoi aku o Rabesake, a loaa ia ia ke alii o Asuria e kana ana i ko Lebena, no ka mea, ua lohe ia, ua haalele oia i Lakisa.
9 Now Sennacherib had been warned about Tirhakah king of Cush: “Look, he has set out to fight against you.” So Sennacherib again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
A lohe ia no Tirehaka ke alii o Aitiopa, i ka i ana ae, Aia hoi, ua hele mai ia e kaua mai ia oe: a hoouna hou aku la ia i na elele io Hezekia la, i aku la,
10 “Give this message to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you by saying that Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Penei oukou e olelo aku ai ia Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda, e i aku, E malama o hoopunipuniia oe e kou Akua au i hilinai ai, i ka i ana'e, Aole e haawiia o Ierusalema iloko o ka lima o ke alii o ko Asuria.
11 Surely you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all the other countries, devoting them to destruction. Will you then be spared?
Aia hoi, ua lohe no oe i ka mea a na'lii o Asuria i hana aku ai i na aina a pau, ma ka luku loa ana ia lakou: a e hoopakeleia anei oe?
12 Did the gods of the nations destroyed by my fathers rescue those nations—the gods of Gozan, Haran, and Rezeph, and of the people of Eden in Telassar?
Ua hoopakele anei na akua o na lahuikanaka ia lakou, i na mea a ko'u mau makua i luku ai: i Gozana, i Harama, i Rezepa, a me na kanaka o Edena, ka poe ma Telasara?
13 Where are the kings of Hamath, Arpad, Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?’”
Auhea ke alii o Hamata, a me ke alii o Arepada, a me ke alii no na kulanakauhale o Separevaima, o Hena, a me Iva?
14 So Hezekiah received the letter from the messengers, read it, and went up to the house of the LORD and spread it out before the LORD.
A lawe ae la o Hezekia i na palapala mai ka lima mai o na elele, a heluhelu iho la ia mau mea: a pii ae la o Hezekia i ka hale o Iehova, a hohola aku la ia mau mea imua o Iehova.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD: “O LORD, God of Israel, enthroned between the cherubim, You alone are God over all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth.
Pule aku la o Hezekia imua o Iehova, i aku la, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea e noho ana maluna o na keruba, o oe no ke Akua, o oe wale no, o na aupuni a pau o ka honua; o oe ka i hana i ka lani a me ka honua.
16 Incline Your ear, O LORD, and hear; open Your eyes, O LORD, and see. Listen to the words that Sennacherib has sent to defy the living God.
E Iehova, e haliu mai kou pepeiao, a e lohe: e Iehova, e wehe ae i kou maka, a ike; a lohe i na olelo a Senakeriba, ana i hoouna mai ai e hoino aku i ke Akua ola.
17 Truly, O LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste these nations and their lands.
He oiaio no, e Iehova, ua luku aku na'lii o Asuria i na lahuikanaka a me ko lakou aina;
18 They have cast their gods into the fire and destroyed them, for they were not gods, but only wood and stone—the work of human hands.
A ua haawi aku i ko lakou mau akua i ke ahi; no ka mea, aole lakou he akua, aka, he hana a na lima kanaka, he laau, a he pohaku: nolaila, ua luku aku lakou ia lakou la.
19 And now, O LORD our God, please save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You alone, O LORD, are God.”
Ano hoi, E Iehova ko makou Akua, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hoopakele mai oe ia makou mailoko mai o kona lima, i ike ai na aupuni a pau o ka honua, o oe no o Iehova ke Akua, o oe wale no.
20 Then Isaiah son of Amoz sent a message to Hezekiah: “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria.
A hoouna aku la o Isaia ke keiki a Amoza io Hezekia la, i aku la, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, Ua lohe au i ka mea au i pule mai ai ia'u no Senakeriba ke alii o Asuria.
21 This is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.
Eia ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai nona; O ka wahine puupaa, ke kaikamahine a Ziona, ua hoowahawaha mai ia ia oe, a ua akaaka mai ia oe: o ke kaikamahine a Ierusalema, ua hooluli mai ia i kona poo mahope ou.
22 Whom have you taunted and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!
Owai la kau i hoino ai, a i hoohiki ino ai? Maluna owai kau i hookiekie ai i ka leo, a hapai ai i kou maka iluna? maluna o ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
23 Through your servants you have taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars, the finest of its cypresses. I have reached its farthest outposts, the densest of its forests.
Ma kou poe elele ua hoino oe ia Iehova, a ua i mai, Me na halekaa o'u a nui, ua pii mai au i kahi kiekie o na mauna, i na aoao hoi o Lebanona, a e kua aku au i kona mau laau kedera loloa, a me kona mau laau paina maikai: a e komo aku au i ka halekipa o kona mokuna, i ka ululaau o kona kihapai ulu.
24 I have dug wells and drunk foreign waters. With the soles of my feet I have dried up all the streams of Egypt.”
Ua eli iho an, a ua inu i ka wai malihini, a me ka poho o kuu wawae, ua hoomaloo au i na muliwai o Aigupita.
25 Have you not heard? Long ago I ordained it; in days of old I planned it. Now I have brought it to pass, that you should crush fortified cities into piles of rubble.
Aole anei oe i lohe i ka manawa mamua, na'u no ia i hana, a i na wa kahiko, na'u no ia i hookumu? ano, ua hooko no au, i lilo ai oe i mea e luku ai i na kulanakauhale i hoopaaia, a lilo i mau puu opala.
26 Therefore their inhabitants, devoid of power, are dismayed and ashamed. They are like plants in the field, tender green shoots, grass on the rooftops, scorched before it is grown.
Nolaila ua nawaliwali ko lakou poe kanaka, a ua weliweli a pihoihoi, ua like lakou me ka launahele o ke kula, a me ka laau uliuli, me ka weuweu maluna o ka hale, a me ka palaoa eleele mamua o ka opuu ana.
27 But I know your sitting down, your going out and coming in, and your raging against Me.
Aka, ua ike au i kou noho ana, a me kou hele ana iwaho, a me kou komo ana iloko, a me kou inaina ana ia'u.
28 Because your rage and arrogance against Me have reached My ears, I will put My hook in your nose and My bit in your mouth; I will send you back the way you came.’
No kou inaina ana mai ia'u, a no ka pii ana mai o kou haaheo iloko o ko'u pepeiao, nolaila, e hookomo au i ko'u lou i kou ihu, a me ko'u kaulawaha i kou lehelehe, a e hoihoi aku au ia oe ma ke ala au i hele mai nei.
29 And this will be a sign to you, O Hezekiah: This year you will eat what grows on its own, and in the second year what springs from the same. But in the third year you will sow and reap; you will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
O keia ka hoailona ia oe, e ai oukou i keia makahiki i ka ai uluwale, a ia makahiki aku i ka mea uluwale; a i ke kolu o ka makahiki e lulu oukou, a e hoiliili, a e kanu i na malawaina, a e ai i kona hua.
30 And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah will again take root below and bear fruit above.
A o ke koena i pakele o ka ohana o Iuda e kolo lea ke aa malalo, a e hua mai i ka hua maluna.
31 For a remnant will go forth from Jerusalem, and survivors from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this.
No ka mea, e puka aku auanei ke koena mai Ierusalema aku, a me ka poe i pakele mai ka mauna o Ziona aku: o ka ikaika o Iehova e hana mai i keia.
32 So this is what the LORD says about the king of Assyria: ‘He will not enter this city or shoot an arrow into it. He will not come before it with a shield or build up a siege ramp against it.
No ia mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei no ke alii o Asuria, Aole ia e komo maloko o keia kulanakauhale, aole hoi e pana aku i ka pua malaila, aole hoi o hele mai imua ona me ka palekaua, aole e hoahu i puu e ku pono ana ia ia.
33 He will go back the way he came, and he will not enter this city,’
Ma ke ala ana i hele mai ai, malaila oia e hoi aku ai, aole ia e komo iloko o keia kulanakauhale, wahi a Iehova.
34 ‘I will defend this city and save it for My own sake and for the sake of My servant David.’”
No ka mea, e malama no wau i keia kulanakauhale, e hoola no ia ia no'u, a no Davida kau kauwa.
35 And that very night the angel of the LORD went out and struck down 185,000 men in the camp of the Assyrians. When the people got up the next morning, there were all the dead bodies!
A ia po iho, hele aku la ka anela o Iehova, a luku aku la, ma kahi hoomoana o ko Asuria, i hookahi haneri a me kanawalukumamalima tausani: a ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi, he poe kupapau make lakou a pau.
36 So Sennacherib king of Assyria broke camp and withdrew. He returned to Nineveh and stayed there.
A haalele aku la o Senakeriba ke alii o Asuria, hele aku a hoi aku la, a noho iho la ma Nineve.
37 One day, while he was worshiping in the temple of his god Nisroch, his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to the sword and escaped to the land of Ararat. And his son Esar-haddon reigned in his place.
A i kona hoomana ana ma ka hale o Niseroka kona akua, o Aderameleka, a me Sarezera, kana mau keiki, pepehi aku la laua ia ia me ka pahikaua, a holo laua i ka aina o Ararata. A noho alii iho la o Esarehadona, kana keiki, ma kona hakahaka.
