2 Kings 19
1 And when king Hezekiah had heard this, he tore his garments, and he covered himself with sackcloth, and he entered the house of the Lord.
Pea ʻi he fanongo ki ai ʻe Hesekaia, naʻa ne haehae hono kofu, pea kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa, pea hū ia ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
2 And he sent Eliakim, the first ruler of the house, and Shebnah, the scribe, and the elders from the priests, covered with sackcloth, to the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz.
Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ia ʻa Iliakimi, ʻaia naʻe pule ki he fale, mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, mo e kau mātuʻa ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa kia ʻIsaia ko e palōfita ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.
3 And they said to him: “Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of tribulation, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy. The sons are ready to be born, but the woman in labor does not have the strength.
Pea naʻa nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Hesekaia, Ko e ʻaho ni ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, mo e tautea, mo e kape: he kuo haʻu ʻae fānau ki he fāʻele, pea ʻoku ʻikai ha mālohi ke fāʻeleʻi.
4 Perhaps the Lord, your God, may hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of the Assyrians, his lord, sent so that he would reproach the living God, and rebuke with words, which the Lord, your God, has heard. And so, offer a prayer on behalf of the remnant that has been found.”
Heiʻilo ʻe lelei kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ke ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻa Lapisake, ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe heʻene ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ke manukiʻi ʻae ʻOtua moʻui: pea ke ne valoki ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia kuo ongoʻi ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko ia ke ke hiki hake hoʻo lotu koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoku toe.”
5 And the servants of king Hezekiah went to Isaiah.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia.
6 And Isaiah said to them: “So shall you say to your lord. Thus says the Lord: Do not be afraid before the face of the words that you have heard, by which the servants of the king of the Assyrians have blasphemed me.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kiate kinautolu, “Te mou tala pehē ki hoʻomou ʻeiki, ʻoku pehē mai ʻa Sihova, ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ki he ngaahi lea kuo ke ongoʻi, ʻaia kuo kape ʻaki kiate au ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.
7 Behold, I will send a spirit to him, and he will hear a report, and he will return to his own land. And I will bring him down by the sword in his own land.”
Vakai, Te u tuku atu kiate ia ha tuʻoni matangi, pea te ne ongoʻi ha ongoongo, pea ʻe toe ʻalu ia ki hono fonua; pea te u pule ke tō ia ʻi he heletā ʻi hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
8 Then Rabshakeh returned, and he found the king of the Assyrians fighting against Libnah. For he had heard that he had withdrawn from Lachish.
Ko ia, naʻe toe ʻalu ʻa Lapisake, ʻo ne hoko ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia lolotonga ʻa ʻene tauʻi ʻa Lipina: he naʻe fanongo ʻe ia kuo ʻalu ia mei Lakisi.
9 And when he had heard from Tirhakah, the king of Ethiopia, saying, “Behold, he has gone out so that he may fight against you,” and when he went forth against him, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying:
Pea ʻi heʻene ongoʻi ʻae ongoongo kia Tilaka ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻItiopea, Vakai, kuo haʻu kituaʻā ia ke tauʻi koe; naʻe toe fekau ʻe ia ʻene kau talafekau kia Hesekaia, ʻo pehē,
10 “So shall you say to Hezekiah, the king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom you trust, lead you astray. And you should not say, ‘Jerusalem will not be delivered into the hands of the king of the Assyrians.’
“Te mou lea kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻo pehē, ʻOua naʻa tuku ke kākaaʻi koe ʻe ho ʻOtua ʻaia ʻoku ke falala ki ai, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai tukuange ʻa Selūsalema ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.’
11 For you yourself have heard what the kings of the Assyrians have done to all the lands, the manner in which they have laid waste to them. Therefore, how would you alone be able to be freed?
Vakai, kuo ke fanongo ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he fonua kotoa pē, ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu: pea te ke hao koe?
12 Have the gods of the nations freed any of those whom my fathers have destroyed, such as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were at Telassar?
He naʻe fakamoʻui ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻakinautolu naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe heʻeku ngaahi tamai: ko Kosani, mo Halani, mo Lesefi, mo e ngaahi fānau ʻa Iteni ʻaia naʻe ʻi Tilasa?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, and of Hena, and of Avva?”
Kofaʻā ia ʻae tuʻi ʻo Hemati, mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻApati, mo e tuʻi ʻoe kolo ko Sifaveimi, ʻo Hena, mo Iva?”
14 And so, when Hezekiah had received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and had read it, he ascended to the house of the Lord, and he spread it out before the Lord.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Hesekaia ʻae tohi ʻi he nima ʻae kau fekau ʻo ne lau ia: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Hesekaia ki he fale ʻo Sihova, pea naʻa ne folahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
15 And he prayed in his sight, saying: “O Lord, God of Israel, who sits upon the cherubim, you alone are God, over all the kings of the earth. You made heaven and earth.
Pea naʻe lotu ʻa Hesekaia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, ʻo pehē, “ʻE Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻoku ke ʻafio ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo selupi, ko koe ko e ʻOtua, ʻio, ʻa koe pe, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo māmani; kuo ke fakatupu ʻe koe ʻae langi mo māmani.
16 Incline your ear, and listen. Open your eyes, O Lord, and see. And hear all the words of Sennacherib, who sent so that he might reproach the living God before us.
ʻE Sihova, punou hifo ho fofonga, pea ke fakafanongo: ʻe Sihova fakaʻā ho fofonga, pea ke ʻafioʻi: pea ongoʻi ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Senakalipe, ʻaia kuo ne fekau mai ia ke lea kovi ai ki he ʻOtua moʻui.
17 Truly, O Lord, the kings of the Assyrians have devastated all peoples and lands.
Ko e moʻoni, ʻe Sihova, kuo fakaʻauha ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mo honau ngaahi fonua.
18 And they have cast their gods into the fire. For they were not gods, but instead were the works of men’s hands, out of wood and stone. And so they destroyed them.
Pea kuo nau lī honau ngaahi ʻotua ki he afi: he naʻe ʻikai ko e ʻotua ʻakinautolu, ka ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata, ko e ʻakau mo e maka: ko ia kuo nau fakaʻauha ai ʻakinautolu.
19 Now therefore, O Lord our God, bring us salvation from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you alone are the Lord God.”
Pea ko eni, ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakamoʻui ʻakimautolu mei hono nima, koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani, ko koe ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua, ʻio ko koe pe.”
20 Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I have heard what you beseeched from me, concerning Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians.
Pea naʻe toki fekau ai ʻe ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi kia Hesekaia ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ‘Ko ia kuo ke lotu ai kiate au kia Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia kuo u ongoʻi.
21 This is the word that the Lord has spoken about him: The virgin daughter of Zion has spurned and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind your back.
Pea ko e lea eni ʻaia kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova kiate ia: Ko e tāupoʻou ko e taʻahine ʻa Saione ʻoku ne manukiʻi koe, pea katakata lumaʻi koe; kuo kalokalo ʻe he taʻahine ʻo Selūsalema ʻa hono ʻulu kiate koe.
22 Whom have you reproached, and whom have you blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!
Ko hai ia naʻa ke manukiʻi mo kapekape ki ai? Pea naʻa ke hiki ho leʻo pea tangaki hake ho mata ki ʻolunga kia hai? ʻIo, ki he [Toko Taha ]Māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
23 By the hand of your servants, you have reproached the Lord, and you have said: ‘By the multitude of my chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the summit of Lebanon. And I have cut down its sublime cedars, and its elect spruce trees. And I have entered even to its limits. And its forest of Carmel,
ʻI hoʻo kau talafekau kuo ke manukiʻi ʻa Sihova, mo ke pehē, Kuo u hoko ʻaki ʻeku ngaahi saliote ki he māʻolunga ʻo hono ngaahi moʻunga, ki he ngaahi tafaʻaki ʻo Lepanoni, pea te u tā ke hinga ʻae ngaahi sita lōloa ʻo ia, mo e ngaahi ʻakau matamatalelei ʻo ia ko e paini: pea te u hū ki he ngaahi fale nofoʻanga ʻo ia, pea ki he vaoʻakau ʻo hono Kameli.
24 I have cut down. And I drank foreign waters, and I dried up all the enclosed waters with the steps of my feet.’
Kuo u keli peau inu ʻae ngaahi vai kehe, pea kuo u fakamomoa ʻaki hoku ʻaofi vaʻe ʻae ngaahi vaitafe ʻoe ngaahi potu naʻe kapui ʻaki ʻae tau.
25 But have you not heard what I have done from the beginning? From the days of antiquity, I have formed it, and now I have brought it to be. And fortified cities of fighting men will become piles of ruins.
Naʻe ʻikai te ke fanongo talu mei muʻa, Ko au naʻaku fai ia, pea talu mei muʻa naʻaku fakafuofua ia? Pea ko eni kuo u fakahoko ia, koeʻuhi ke ke fakalala ʻae ngaahi kolotau pea ngaohi ia ko e ngaahi potu ngaongao pe.
26 And whoever may settle in these, they have trembled, with a weak hand, and they have been confounded. They have become like the hay of the field, and like weeds sprouting on the rooftops, which dry up before they reached maturity.
Ko ia naʻe siʻi ai ʻae mālohi ʻo honau kakai, naʻa nau lilika ai mo puputuʻu; naʻa nau tatau mo e mohuku ʻoe ngoue, pea hangē ko e ʻakau mata, ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻi he ngaahi tuʻa fale, pea hangē ko e uite kuo mahunu ʻi he teʻeki tupu hake.
27 Your habitation, and your exit, and your entrance, and your way, I knew beforehand, along with your fury against me.
Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ho nofoʻanga, mo ho fehufaki ki loto mo tuʻa, mo hoʻo lili kiate au.
28 You have been maddened against me, and your arrogance has ascended to my ears. And so, I will place a ring in your nose, and a bit between your lips. And I will lead you back along the way by which you came.
Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene hoko hake ʻa hoʻo lili mo hoʻo maveuveu ki hoku telinga, ko ia te u ʻai ai ʻa ʻeku mataʻu ki ho ihu, mo ʻeku meʻa taʻofi ki ho loungutu, pea te u fakatafoki koe ʻi he hala ʻaia naʻa ke haʻu ai.”
29 But as for you, Hezekiah, this shall be a sign: Eat this year whatever you will find, and in the second year, whatever may spring up of itself. But in the third year, sow and reap; plant vineyards, and eat from their fruit.
Pea ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate koe, “Te mou kai ʻi he taʻu ni ʻae ngaahi meʻa ʻe tupu vao pe, pea ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻae meʻa ʻoku tupu mei ai; pea ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu, mou tūtuuʻi, pea tuʻusi, pea tō ngoue vaine, pea kai hono ngaahi fua ʻo ia.
30 And whatever will have been left behind, from the house of Judah, shall send a root downward, and shall bear fruit upward.
Pea ko e toenga kakai kuo hao ʻi he fale ʻo Siuta ʻe toe aka ia ʻo ʻalu hifo, pea tupu ai ʻae fua ʻi ʻolunga.
31 Indeed, a remnant shall go forth from Jerusalem, and what may be saved shall go forth from mount Zion. The zeal of the Lord of hosts shall accomplish this.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu atu mei Selūsalema ha toenga kakai, mo kinautolu ʻe hao mei he moʻunga ko Saione: ko e feinga ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi tokolahi te ne feia ʻae meʻa ni.
32 For this reason, thus says the Lord about the king of the Assyrians: He shall not enter into this city, nor shoot an arrow into it, nor overtake it with the shield, nor encircle it with fortifications.
Ko ia, ʻoku folofola pehē ʻa Sihova ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ‘ʻE ʻikai hū ia ki he kolo ni, pe fana ki ai ha ngahau ʻe taha, pe hoko mai ki ai ʻaki ʻae pā, pe te ne tanu puke ki ai.
33 By the way that he came, so shall he return. And he shall not enter this city, says the Lord.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻi he hala ko ia naʻa ne haʻu ai, ko ia ia te ne toe ʻalu ai, pea ʻe ʻikai hū ia ki he kolo ni.
34 And I will protect this city, and I will save it for my own sake, and for the sake of my servant David.”
He te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni, ke fakamoʻui ia, koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.’”
35 And so it happened that, in the same night, an Angel of the Lord went and struck down, in the camp of the Assyrians, one hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when he had risen up, at first light, he saw all the bodies of the dead. And withdrawing, he went away.
Pea ʻi he hokosia ʻae pō ko ia, naʻe ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻa Sihova, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻae kakai ʻAsilia, ko e tokotaha kilu mo e toko valu mano, mo e toko nima afe: pea ʻi heʻenau tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻi he ʻapongipongi, ʻiloange ko e kakai mate ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
36 And Sennacherib, the king of the Assyrians, returned and dwelled in Nineveh.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Senakalipe, pea ʻalu ia ʻo liliu ʻo nofo ʻi Ninive.
37 And while he was worshipping in the temple of his god, Nisroch, his sons, Adram-melech and Sharezer, struck him with the sword. And they fled into the land of the Armenians. And Esarhaddon, his son, reigned in his place.
Pea ʻi heʻene lotu ʻi he fale ʻo Nisiloki ko hono ʻotua, naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe ʻAtalameleki mo Salesa, ko hono ongo foha, ʻaki ʻae heletā: pea naʻa na hola ki he fonua ko ʻAminia. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe Esa-Hatoni ko hono foha.
