2 Kings 18
1 Now in the third yeere of Hoshea, sonne of Elah King of Israel, Hezekiah the sonne of Ahaz king of Iudah began to reigne.
Na, no te toru o nga tau o Hohea tama a Eraha kingi o Iharaira, i kingi ai a Hetekia tama a Ahata kingi o Hura.
2 He was fiue and twentie yeere olde when he began to reigne, and reigned nine and twenty yeere in Ierusalem. His mothers name also was Abi the daughter of Zachariah,
E rua tekau ma rima ona tau i tona kingitanga, a e rua tekau ma iwa nga tau i kingi ai ia ki Hiruharama; a ko te ingoa o tona whaea ko Api, he tamahine na Hakaraia.
3 And he did vprightly in the sight of the Lord, according to all that Dauid his father had done.
Na he tika tana mahi ki te titiro a Ihowa, i rite ki nga mea katoa i mea ai a Rawiri, tona tupuna.
4 He tooke away the hie places, and brake the images, and cut downe the groues, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for vnto those dayes the children of Israel did burne incense to it, and hee called it Nehushtan.
I whakakahoretia e ia nga wahi tiketike, i tukitukia hoki nga whakapakoko, tuaina ana e ia te Ahera: a mongamonga ana i a ia te nakahi parahi, i hanga nei e Mohi; tahu tonu ai hoki nga tama a Iharaira i te whakakakara ki taua mea a taea noatia ta ua ra; a tapa ana e ia, ko Nehuhatana.
5 He trusted in the Lord God of Israel: so that after him was none like him among all the Kings of Iudah, neither were there any such before him.
I whakawhirinaki hoki ia ki a Ihowa, ki te Atua o Iharaira; na kahore he rite mona o nga kingi katoa o Hura i muri i a ia, o era ranei i mua atu i a ia.
6 For he claue to the Lord, and departed not from him, but kept his commandements, which the Lord had commanded Moses.
I piri tonu hoki ia ki a Ihowa, kihai i mahue te whai i a ia, engari i puritia e ia ana whakahau i whakahau ai a Ihowa ki a Mohi.
7 So the Lord was with him, and he prospered in all thinges, which he tooke in hande: also he rebelled against the King of Asshur, and serued him not.
Na i a ia a Ihowa, a oti pai ana tana i nga wahi katoa i haere ai ia. Na ka whakakeke ia ki te kingi o Ahiria, a kihai i mahi ki a ia.
8 He smote the Philistims vnto Azzah, and the coastes thereof, from the watch towre vnto the defensed citie.
I patua e ia nga Pirihitini tae noa ki Kaha, ki ona rohe, i te taumaihi o nga kaitutei ki te pa taiepa.
9 And in the fourth yere of King Hezekiah, (which was the seuenth yeere of Hoshea sonne of Elah King of Israel) Shalmaneser King of Asshur came vp against Samaria, and besieged it.
Na i te wha o nga tau o Kingi Hetekia, ara i te whitu o nga tau o Honea tama a Eraha kingi o Iharaira, ka whakaekea Hamaria e Haramanehere kingi o Ahiria, whakapaea ana e ia.
10 And after three yeeres they tooke it, euen in the sixt yeere of Hezekiah: that is, the ninth yeere of Hoshea King of Israel was Samaria taken.
A, i te mutunga o te toru o nga tau, ka horo a reira i a ratou; ara no te ono o nga tau o Hetekia, koia ra te iwa o nga tau o Hohea kingi o Iharaira, ka horo Hamaria.
11 Then the King of Asshur did carry away Israel vnto Asshur, and put them in Halah and in Habor, by the riuer of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,
Na ka whakahekea e te kingi o Ahiria a Iharaira ki Ahiria, whakanohoia ana e ia ki Haraha, ki Haporo, ki te taha o te awa o Kotana ki nga pa ano hoki o nga Meri:
12 Because they woulde not obey the voyce of the Lord their God, but transgressed his couenant: that is, all that Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded, and would neyther obey nor doe them.
Mo ratou kihai i rongo ki te reo o Ihowa, o to ratou Atua, engari takahia ana e ratou tana kawenata me nga mea katoa i whakahaua mai e Mohi, e ta Ihowa pononga; kihai i whakarangona, kihai i mahia.
13 Moreouer, in the fourteenth yeere of King Hezekiah, Saneherib King of Asshur came vp against all the strong cities of Iudah, and tooke them.
Na no te tekau ma wha o nga tau o Kingi Hetekia ka whakaekea nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, a horo ana i a ia.
14 Then Hezekiah King of Iudah sent vnto the King of Asshur to Lachish, saying, I haue offended: depart from me, and what thou layest vpon me, I wil beare it. And the King of Asshur appoynted vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah three hudreth talents of siluer, and thirty talets of golde.
Na ka unga tangata a Hetekia kingi o Hura ki te kingi o Ahiria ki Rakihi hei mea, Kua hara ahau; hoki atu i ahau: ko tau e whakapikau mai ai ki ahau ka pikaua e ahau. Na whakaritea ana e te kingi o Ahiria ki a Hetekia kingi o Hura kia toru rau t aranata hiriwa, kia toru tekau hoki taranata koura.
15 Therefore Hezekiah gaue all the siluer that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the Kings house.
Na hoatu ana e Hetekia ki a ia te hiriwa katoa i kitea ki te whare o Ihowa, ki nga taonga ano o te whare o te kingi.
16 At the same season did Hezekiah pul off the plates of the doores of the Temple of the Lord, and the pillars (which the sayd Hezekiah King of Iudah had couered ouer) and gaue them to the King of Asshur.
No taua wa ano ka tapahia e Hetekia te koura o nga tatau o te temepara o Ihowa, o nga pou hoki i whakakikoruatia nei e Hetekia kingi o Hura, a hoatu ana ki te kingi o Ahiria.
17 And the King of Asshur sent Tartan, and Rab-saris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great hoste against Ierusalem. And they went vp, and came to Ierusalem, and when they were come vp, they stood by the conduite of the vpper poole, which is by the path of the fullers fielde,
Na ka unga e te kingi o Ahiria a Taratana, a Rapaharihi, a Rapahake i Rakihi ki a Kingi Hetekia ki Hiruharama, he nui te ope, Na haere ana ratou, ka tae ki Hiruharama. A, i to ratou taenga atu, ka haere ratou, ka tu ki te awakeri o te puna wai o runga, o tera i te huarahi o te mara a te kaihoroi kakahu.
18 And called to the King. Then came out to them Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder.
Na, ka karanga ratou ki te kingi, ka puta atu ki a ratou a Eriakimi tama a Hirikia, te rangatira o te whare, a Hepena kaituhituhi, a Ioaha tama a Ahapa te kaiwhakamahara.
19 And Rabshakeh sayde vnto them, Tell ye Hezekiah, I pray you, Thus saith the great King, euen the great King of Asshur, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
Na ka mea a Rapahake ki a ratou, Korero atu ainei ki a Hetekia, Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi nui, a te kingi o Ahiria, He aha tenei whakawhirinaki, e whakawhirinaki na koe?
20 Thou thinkest, Surely I haue eloquence, but counsell and strength are for the warre. On whom then doest thou trust, that thou rebellest against me?
E mea na koe, otiia he mea ngutu kau, Tenei te ngarahu tika, te kaha mo te whawhai. Na e whakawhirinaki ana koe ki a wai, i whakakeke ai koe ki ahau?
21 Lo, thou trustest now in this broken staffe of reede, to wit, on Egypt, on which if a man leane, it will goe into his hand, and pearce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt vnto all that trust on him.
Nana, e whakawhirinaki ana koe ki tena kakaho pepe hei tokotoko, ki a ngoto ki roto ki tona ringa, na, kua tu. Ka pera ano a Parao kingi o Ihipa ki te hunga katoa e okioki ana ki a ia.
22 But if ye say vnto me, We trust in the Lord our God, is not that he whose hie places, and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath sayd to Iudah and Ierusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar in Ierusalem?
Otiia ki te mea mai koutou ki ahau, Ko Ihowa, ko to matou Atua ta matou e whakawhirinaki nei: he teka ianei ko ia tena, nana nei nga wahi tiketike, me nga aata i whakakahoretia atu nei e Hetekia, a kua mea ia ki a Hura raua ko Hiruharama, Hei mu a i tenei aata i Hiruharama koutou koropiko ai?
23 Now therefore giue hostages to my lord the King of Asshur, and I will giue thee two thousand horses, if thou be able to set riders vpon them.
Na homai aianei he utu pupuri ki toku ariki, ki te kingi o Ahiria, a ka hoatu e ahau ki a koe etahi hoiho, kia rua mano, ki te taea e koe te whakanoho kaieke ki runga.
24 For how canst thou despise any captaine of the least of my masters seruants, and put thy trust on Egypt for charets and horsemen?
A me pehea e taea ai e koe te pare atu te kanohi o tetahi rangatira kotahi o nga iti rawa o nga pononga a toku ariki, a ka whakawhirinaki koe ki Ihipa hei hariata, hei kaieke hoiho mau?
25 Am I now come vp without the Lord to this place, to destroy it? the Lord sayd to me, Goe vp against this land, and destroy it.
I haere kau mai ranei ahau, kahore a Ihowa, ki te huna i tenei wahi? I mea a Ihowa ki ahau, Haere ki te whenua ra huna ai.
26 Then Eliakim the sonne of Hilkiah, and Shebnah, and Ioah said vnto Rabshakeh, Speake I pray thee, to thy seruants in the Aramites language, for we vnderstand it, and talke not with vs in the Iewes tongue, in the audience of the people that are on the wall.
Katahi ka mea a Eriakimi tama a Hirikia ratou ko Hepena, ko Ioaha, ki a Rapahake, Korero koa ki au pononga i te reo Hiriani; e matau ana hoki matou ki tena reo; kaua e korero mai ki a matou i te reo Hurai i te mea e whakarongo ana te iwi i runga i te taiepa.
27 But Rabshakeh saide vnto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee to speake these words, and not to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eate their owne doung, and drinke their owne pisse with you?
Ano ra ko Rapahake ki a ratou, I unga mai ranei ahau e toku ariki ki tou ariki, a ki a koe, hei korero i enei kupu? He teka ianei i unga mai ahau e ia ki nga tangata e noho ana i runga i te taiepa, kia kainga e ratou to ratou paru, kia inumia to ratou mimi, ara e koutou tahi?
28 So Rabshakeh stoode and cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes language, and spake, saying, Heare the wordes of the great King, of the king of Asshur.
Katahi a Rapahake ka tu, a he nui tona reo ki te karanga i te reo Hurai; i korero ia, i mea, Whakarongo ki te kupu a te kingi nui, a te kingi o Ahiria.
29 Thus sayth the King, Let not Hezekiah deceiue you: for he shall not be able to deliuer you out of mine hand.
Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi Kei tinihangatia koutou e Hetekia; e kore hoki koutou e taea te whakaora e ia i tona ringa:
30 Neither let Hezekiah make you to trust in the Lord, saying, The Lord will surely deliuer vs, and this citie shall not be giuen ouer into the hand of the king of Asshur.
Kei meinga hoki koutou e Hetekia kia whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa, i a ia e ki na, He pono, tera tatou e whakaorangia e Ihowa, e kore hoki tenei pa e tukua ki te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria.
31 Hearken not vnto Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Asshur, Make appointment with me, and come out to me, that euery man may eate of his owne vine, and euery man of his owne figge tree, and drinke euery man of the water of his owne well,
Kaua e rongo ki a Hetekia; ko te kupu tenei a te kingi o Ahiria, Houhia ta koutou rongo ki ahau, ka haere mai ki waho ki ahau; ka kai ai koutou i nga hua o tana waina, o tana waina, o tana piki, o tana piki, ka inu ano i te wai o tana puna, o ta na puna:
32 Till I come, and bring you to a land like your owne land, euen a land of wheate and wine, a land of bread and vineyardes, a lande of oliues oyle, and hony, that ye may liue and not die: and obey not Hezekiah, for he deceiueth you, saying, The Lord will deliuer vs.
Kia tae atu ra ano ahau ki te tiki atu i a koutou ki te whenua penei i to koutou nei whenua, ki te whenua witi, waina, ki te whenua taro, mara waina, ki te whenua hinu oriwa, honi hoki, kia ora ai koutou, kei mate; kaua hoki e whakarongo ki a He tekia, i a ia e tohe na ki a koutou, e mea na, Ma Ihowa tatou e whakaora.
33 Hath any of the gods of the nations deliuered his lande out of the hand of the King of Asshur?
I ora ranei i tetahi o nga atua o nga tauiwi tona whenua i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria?
34 Where is the god of Hamah, and of Arpad? where is the god of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah? how haue they deliuered Samaria out of mine hand?
Kei hea nga atua o Hamata, o Arapara? kei hea nga atua o Heparawaima, o Hena, o Iwa? i whakaorangia ranei e ratou a Hamaria i toku ringa?
35 Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that haue deliuered their lande out of mine hand, that the Lord should deliuer Ierusalem out of mine hand?
Ko wai o nga atua katoa o nga whenua, kua whakaorangia e ratou to ratou whenua i toku ringa, e whakaorangia ai e Ihowa a Hiruharama i toku ringa?
36 But the people helde their peace, and answered not him a worde: for the Kings commandement was, saying, Answere ye him not.
Otiia whakarongo kau ana tera te iwi, kihai i whakahoki kupu ki a ia; ko ta te kingi hoki tena i ako ai, i ki ai, Kaua e whakahoki kupu atu ki a ia.
37 Then Eliakim, the sonne of Hilkiah which was steward of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and Ioah the sonne of Asaph the recorder came to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and tolde him the wordes of Rabshakeh.
Katahi ka haere a Eriakimi tama a Hirikia, te rangatira o te whare, a Hepena te kaituhituhi, a Ioaha tama a Ahapa te kaiwhakamahara ki a Hetekia, he mea haehae o ratou kakahu, a korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia nga kupu a Rapahake.
