< 2 Kings 19 >
1 And when King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes and put on sackecloth, and came into the house of the Lord,
Na, I te rongonga o Kingi Hetekia, ka haea e ia ona kakahu, ka hipoki i a ia ki te kakahu taratara, haere ana ki te whare o Ihowa.
2 And sent Eliakim which was the stewarde of the house, and Shebnah the chanceller, and the Elders of the Priestes clothed in sackecloth to Isaiah the Prophet the sonne of Amoz.
I unga hoki e ia a Eriakimi, te rangatira o te whare, ratou ko Hepena kaituhituhi, ko nga kaumatua o nga tohunga, he mea hipoki ki te kakahu taratara, ki a Ihaia poropiti tama a Amoho.
3 And they said vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke, and blasphemie: for the childre are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
A ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Hetekia, Ko tenei ra, he ra no te raruraru, no te whakatuma, no te kohukohu: kua tae hoki nga tamariki ki te whanautanga, heoi kahore he kaha e whanau ai.
4 If so be the Lord thy God hath heard all the wordes of Rabshakeh, whome the King of Asshur his master hath sent to raile on the liuing God, and to reproch him with wordes which the Lord thy God hath heard, then lift thou vp thy prayer for the remnant that are left.
Tera pea ka rongo a Ihowa, tou Atua ki nga kupu katoa a Rapahake i unga mai nei e tona ariki, e te kingi o Ahiria, hei whakorekore ki te Atua ora; a ka riri ki nga kupu i rongo ai a Ihowa, tou Atua. Na kia ara tau inoi mo nga toenga e noho nei.
5 So the seruants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Heoi kua tae nga tangata a Kingi Hetekia ki a Ihaia.
6 And Isaiah said vnto them, So shall ye say to your master, Thus sayeth the Lord, Be not afraide of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
A ka mea a Ihaia ki a ratou, Kia penei ta koutou korero ki to koutou ariki, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e wehi i nga kupu i rongo na koe, ki ena i kohukohu mai na nga tangata a te kingi o Ahiria ki ahau.
7 Beholde, I will sende a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne lande: and I will cause him to fall by the sworde in his owne lande.
Nana, ka hoatu e ahau he wairua ki roto ki a ia, a tera ia e rongo i tetahi rongo, ka hoki ki tona whenua, a ka meinga ia e ahau kia hinga i te hoari i tona ake whenua.
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and founde the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Na ka hoki a Rapahake, a rokohanga atu e whawhai ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ripina: i rongo hoki ia kua maunu mai ia i Rakihi.
9 He heard also men say of Tirhakah King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: he therefore departed and sent other messengers vnto Hezekiah, saying,
A, no tona rongonga ki a Tirihaka kingi o Etiopia, ki te korero, Nana, kei te haere mai ia ki te whawhai ki a koe: ka unga tangata ano ia ki a Hetekia, hei mea atu,
10 Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, and say, Let not thy God deceiue thee in whome thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be deliuered into the hande of the King of Asshur.
Kia penei ta koutou ki atu ki a Hetekia kingi o Hura, mea atu, Kei tinihangatia koe e tou Atua, e okioki atu na koe, i a ia e ki na, E kore a Hiruharama e hoatu ki te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria.
11 Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all landes, how they haue destroyed them: and shalt thou be deliuered?
Nana, tena koe kua rongo ki ta nga kingi o Ahiria i mea ai ki nga whenua katoa, ki ta ratou hunanga i a ratou: a e ora ranei koe?
12 Haue the gods of the heathen deliuered them which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were in Thelasar?
I ora ranei i o ratou atua nga tauiwi i huna ra e oku matua, a Kotana, a Harana, a Retepe, me nga tama a Erene, i Terahara ra?
13 Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Shepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
Kei hea te kingi o Hamata, te kingi o Arapara, te kingi o te pa o Heparawaima, o Hena, o Iwa?
14 So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hande of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went vp into the house of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
Na ka riro mai i a Hetekia te pukapuka i te ringa o nga karere, a ka korerotia e ia: na haere ana a Hetekia ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa, wherahia ana e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and saide, O Lord God of Israel, which dwellest betweene the Cherubims, thou art very God alone ouer all the kingdomes of the earth: thou hast made the heauen and the earth.
Na ka inoi a Hetekia ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ka mea, E Ihowa, e te Atua o Iharaira, e noho mai na i runga o nga kerupima, ko koe te Atua, ko koe anake, o nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua; nau i hanga te rangi me te whenua.
16 Lord, bow downe thine eare, and heare: Lord open thine eyes and behold, and heare the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, whakarongo mai; titiro mai ou kanohi, e Ihowa, kia kite koe; whakarongo ki nga kupu a Henakeripi, i unga mai nei i tenei hei whakorekore mo te Atua ora.
17 Trueth it is, Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed the nations and their landes,
He tika ano e Ihowa, kua kore i nga kingi o Ahiria nga iwi me o ratou whenua,
18 And haue set fire on their gods: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood and stone: therefore they destroyed them.
Kua makaia atu hoki o ratou atua ki roto ki te ahi: ehara hoki era i te atua, engari he mahi na te ringa tangata, he rakau, he kohatu; koia i huna ai e ratou.
19 Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, I beseech thee, saue thou vs out of his hande, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou, O Lord, art onely God.
Tena ra, e Ihowa, e to matou Atua, whakaorangia matou i tona ringa, kia mohio ai nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua ko Ihowa koe, ko te Atua, ko koe anake.
20 Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I haue heard that which thou hast prayed me, concerning Saneherib King of Asshur.
Katahi a Ihaia tama a Amoho ka unga tangata ki a Hetekia, hei mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, I inoi mai na koe ki ahau mo Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, na kua rongo ahau ki a koe.
21 This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, O Virgine, daughter of Zion, he hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: O daughter of Ierusalem, he hath shaken his head at thee.
Ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei i korero ai mona, Kua whakahawea te tamahine wahine a Hiona ki a koe, kua kataina koe e ia; kua ruru te matenga o te tamahine a Hiruharama ki a koe.
22 Whome hast thou railed on? and whome hast thou blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the Holie one of Israel.
Ko wai tau i whakorekore na, i kohukohu na? ki a wai tou reo i whakarahia na, tou mata i kake na ki runga? ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
23 By thy messengers thou hast rayled on the Lord, and said, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the toppe of the mountaines, by the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe into the lodging of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel.
Na au karere i whakorekore ai koe i te Ariki, kua mea na koe, Kake ana ahau, me aku tini hariata, ki nga wahi tiketike o nga maunga, ki nga taha rawa o Repanona; a ka tuaina e ahau nga hita raroa o reira me o reira kauri papai; a ka tomo ahau ki te whare tira haere o tona wahi whakamutunga mai, ki te ngahere o tona mara hua.
24 I haue digged, and drunke the waters of others, and with the plant of my feete haue I dried all the floods closed in.
Kua keria e ahau, kua inumia ano nga wai ke, a ka maroke i te kapu o toku waewae nga awa katoa o Ihipa.
25 Hast thou not heard, howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I nowe bring it, that it should be destroyed, and laid on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
Kahore ranei koe i rongo naku tena i mea i mua noa atu, a naku tena i hanga o nga ra onamata? no naianei kua meinga e ahau, ko koe hei mea i nga pa taiepa hei puranga rukerukenga.
26 Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afraid, and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field, and greene herbe, or grasse on ye house toppes, or as corne blasted before it be growen.
Koia i iti ai te kaha o o reira tangata; wehi ana ratou, pororaru ana; rite tonu ratou ki te tarutaru o te parae, ki te otaota matomato, ki te taru i runga i nga tuanui, ki te witi i ngingio i te mea kiano i ata tupu noa.
27 I knowe thy dwelling, yea, thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy furie against me.
Otiia e matau ana ahau ki tou nohoanga iho, ki tou haerenga atu, ki tou haerenga mai, me tau nananga ki ahau.
28 And because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vp to mine eares, I will put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lippes, and will bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
Mo tau nananga ki ahau, a mo tau whakakake kua tae mai nei ki oku taringa, mo reira ka kuhua e ahau taku matau ki tou ihu, taku paraire ki ou ngutu, a ka whakahokia koe na te ara i haere mai na koe.
29 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such things as growe of them selues, and the next yeere such as growe without sowing, and the third yeere sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyardes, and eate the fruites thereof.
A ko te tohu tenei ki a koe: ka kai koutou i tenei tau i nga mea tupu noa ake, a i te rua o nga tau ko nga tupu noa ake o te tau: na hei te toru o nga tau koutou whakato ai, kokoti ai, whakato ai i nga mara waina, kai iho ai i nga hua.
30 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downewarde, and beare fruite vpwarde.
Na, tera e hou ano whakararo nga pakiaka o nga morehu i mawhiti o te whare o Hura, a ka hua nga hua whakarunga.
31 For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and some that shall escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
No te mea tera e puta ake he toenga i Hiruharama, he oranga i maunga Hiona: e taea hoki tenei e te ngakau nui o Ihowa.
32 Wherefore thus saith the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrowe there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it:
Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei mo te kingi o Ahiria, E kore ia e haere mai ki tenei pa, e kore ano e perea mai he pere e ia ki konei, e kore ano e maua mai e ia he whakangungu rakau ki mua i tenei pa, e haupuria ranei he puke hei whawhaitanga ki kone i.
33 But he shall returne the way he came, and shall not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
Ko te ara i haere mai ai ia, ka hoki ano ia ma reira: e kore hoki ia e tae mai ki tenei pa, e ai ta Ihowa.
34 For I will defende this citie to saue it for mine owne sake, and for Dauid my seruants sake.
Ka tiakina hoki e ahau tenei pa, kia ora ai; he whakaaro ki ahau, ki taku pononga ano ki a Rawiri.
35 And the same night the Angell of the Lord went out and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth foure score and fiue thousande: so when they rose earely in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Na i taua po ka puta te anahera a Ihowa, a patua iho e ia i te puni o nga Ahiriana kotahi rau e waru tekau ma rima mano: a, i te marangatanga ake i te ata, nana, o ratou tinana! he tupapaku katoa ratou.
36 So Saneherib King of Asshur departed, and went his way, and returned, and dwelt in Nineueh.
Heoi turia atu ana e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, haere ana, hoki ana, noho rawa atu kei Ninewe.
37 And as he was in the Temple worshipping Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sworde: and they escaped into the land of Ararat, and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
A, i a ia e koropiko ana i roto i te whare o tona atua, o Nitiroko, ka patua e ana tama, e Ataramereke raua ko Haretere ki te hoari: a mawhiti atu ana raua ki te whenua o Ararata. A ko Etara Harono, ko tana tama, te kingi i muri i a ia.
