Isaiah 37
1 And when the King Hezekiah heard it, he rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth and came into the House of the Lord.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, ʻi he fanongo ʻa Hesekaia ki ai, naʻa ne haehae hono kofu, pea kofuʻaki ia ʻae tauangaʻa, pea ʻalu ki he fale ʻo Sihova.
2 And he sent Eliakim the stewarde of the house, aud Shebna the chanceller, with the Elders of the Priestes, clothed in sackcloth vnto Isaiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz.
Pea ne fekau ʻa Iliakimi, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he fale, mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, pea mo e mātuʻa ʻi he kau taulaʻeiki, kuo kofuʻaki ʻae tauangaʻa, kia ʻIsaia ko e palōfita, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.
3 And they sayd vnto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of tribulation and of rebuke and blasphemie: for the children are come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring foorth.
Pea nau pehē kiate ia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Hesekaia, Ko e ʻaho ni ko e ʻaho ʻoe mamahi, mo e valoki, pea mo e kapekape: he kuo hokosia ʻae ʻaho ke fāʻele, ka ʻoku ʻikai pā mālohi ke fanauʻi.
4 If so be the Lord thy God hath heard the wordes of Rabshakeh, whom 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.
Heiʻilo ʻe fanongo nai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Lapisake, ʻaia kuo fekau ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ko hono ʻeiki ke valoki ʻaki ʻae ʻOtua moʻui, pea ʻe tautea ʻae ngaahi lea ʻaia kuo fanongo ki ai ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua: ko e hiki hake hoʻo hū koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoku kei toe.”
5 So the seruants of the King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia.
6 And Isaiah sayde vnto them, Thus say vnto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be not afrayd of the wordes that thou hast heard, wherewith the seruants of the king of Asshur haue blasphemed me.
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsaia kiate kinautolu, “Te mou lea ʻo pehē ki homou ʻeiki, ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē ki he ngaahi lea kuo ke fanongo ki ai, ʻaia kuo kapekape ʻaki kiate au ʻe he kau tamaioʻeiki ʻoe tuʻi ʻa ʻAsilia.
7 Beholde, I wil send a blast vpon him, and he shall heare a noyse, and returne to his owne land, and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his owne land.
Vakai, te u fakahū kiate ia ha laumālie, pea te ne fanongo ki he ongoongo, pea foki ki hono fonua ʻoʻona; pea te u pule ke tō ia ʻi he heletā ʻi hono fonua ʻoʻona.”
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the King of Asshur fighting against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Naʻe foki ʻa Lapisake, pea ʻilo ʻoku tau ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia mo Lipina: he kuo ne fanongo kuo haʻu ia mei Lakisi.
9 He heard also men say of Tirhakah, King of Ethiopia, Beholde, he is come out to fight against thee: and when he heard it, he sent other messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Pea naʻa ne fanongo ki he tala naʻe kau kia Tilaka ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻItiopea, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻOku haʻu ia ke tauʻi koe.’ Pea ʻi heʻene fanongo ki ai, naʻa ne fekau atu ʻae kau talafekau kia Hesekaia, ʻo pehē,
10 Thus shall ye speake to Hezekiah King of Iudah, saying, Let not thy God deceiue thee, in whom thou trustest, saying, Ierusalem shall not be giuen into the hand of the King of Asshur.
“Ke pehē hoʻomou lea kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻa ho ʻOtua, ʻaia ʻoku ke faʻaki ki ai, ke kākaaʻi koe, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE ʻikai tukuange ʻa Selūsalema ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.’
11 Beholde, thou hast heard what the Kings of Asshur haue done to all lands in destroying them, and shalt thou be deliuered?
Vakai, kuo ke fanongo ki he meʻa kuo fai ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻi he fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻakinautolu; pea ʻe fakamoʻui koe?
12 Haue the gods of the nations deliuered them, which my fathers haue destroyed? as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden, which were at Telassar?
Kuo fakamoʻui ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻakinautolu naʻe fakaʻauha ʻe heʻeku ngaahi tamai, ko Kosani, mo Holani, mo Lesefi, mo e fānau ʻa Iteni ʻaia naʻe ʻi Tilasa?
13 Where is the King of Hamath, and the King of Arpad, and the King of the citie of Sepharuaim, Hena and Iuah?
ʻOku ʻi fē ʻae tuʻi ʻo Hamati, pea mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻAapati, pea mo e tuʻi ʻoe kolo ko Sifaveimi, mo Hena, mo Iva?”
14 So Hezekiah receiued the letter of the hand of the messengers and read it, and he went vp into the House of the Lord, and Hezekiah spread it before the Lord.
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Hesekaia ʻae tohi mei he nima ʻoe kau talafekau, pea lau ia: pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa Hesekaia ki he fale ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne folahi ia ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
15 And Hezekiah prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
Pea naʻe hū ʻa Hesekaia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
16 O Lord of hostes, 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.
“ʻE Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau, ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku ʻafio ʻi he vahaʻa ʻoe ongo Selupi, ko koe ko e ʻOtua, ʻio, ko koe tokotaha pe, ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻo māmani: ko koe naʻe ngaohi ʻae langi mo māmani.
17 Encline thine eare, O Lord, and heare: open thine eyes, O Lord, and see, and heare all the wordes of Saneherib, who hath sent to blaspheme the liuing God.
Fakaongo mai ho fofonga, ʻe Sihova, pea fanongo; fakaʻā, ʻe Sihova, ho fofonga, pea ke ʻafioʻi: pea fanongo ki he lea kotoa pē ʻa Senakalipe, ʻaia kuo fekau ke valoki ʻaki ʻae ʻOtua moʻui.
18 Trueth it is, O Lord, that the Kings of Asshur haue destroyed all lands, and their countrey,
Ko e moʻoni, ʻE Sihova, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia kuo nau fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, mo honau ngaahi fonua,
19 And haue cast their gods in ye fire: for they were no gods, but the worke of mans hands, euen wood or stone: therefore they destroyed them.
Pea kuo lī honau ngaahi ʻotua ki he afi: he naʻe ʻikai ko ha ʻotua ʻakinautolu, ka ko e ngāue ʻae nima ʻoe tangata, ko e ʻakau mo e maka: ko ia kuo nau fakaʻauha ai ʻakinautolu.
20 Nowe therefore, O Lord our God, saue thou vs out of his hand, that all the kingdomes of the earth may knowe, that thou onely art the Lord.
Ko ia, ʻE Sihova ko homau ʻOtua, fakahaofi ʻakimautolu mei hono nima, koeʻuhi ke ʻilo ʻe he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻo māmani ko koe ko Sihova, ʻio, ko koe tokotaha pe.”
21 Then Isaiah the sonne of Amoz sent vnto Hezekiah, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Israel, Because thou hast prayed vnto me, concerning Saneherib king of Asshur,
Pea naʻe toki fekau ʻe ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi kia Hesekaia, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo hū kiate au koeʻuhi ko Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia:
22 This is the worde that the Lord hath spoken against him, the virgine, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorne: the daughter of Ierusalem, hath shaken her head at thee.
Ko eni ʻae lea ʻaia kuo folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova ʻoku kau kiate ia; ‘Ko e taʻahine, ko e ʻofefine ʻo Saione, kuo fehiʻa kiate koe, pea kata manuki kiate koe: ko e ʻofefine ʻo Selūsalema, kuo ne kalokalo hono ʻulu kiate koe.
23 Whome hast thou railed on and blasphemed? and against whome hast thou exalted thy voyce, and lifted vp thine eyes on hie? euen against the holy one of Israel.
Ko hai ia kuo ke manukiʻi mo kapeʻi? Pea kuo ke hiki hake ho leʻo kia hai, pea hiki mo ho mata ki ʻolunga? ʻIo, ki he tokotaha māʻoniʻoni ʻo ʻIsileli.
24 By thy seruants hast thou railed on the Lord, and sayd, By the multitude of my charets I am come vp to the top of the mountaines to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut downe the hie cedars thereof, and the faire firre trees thereof, and I will goe vp to the heightes of his top and to the forest of his fruitfull places.
Kuo ke manukiʻi ʻe hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Sihova, pea kuo ke pehē, ʻI he tokolahi ʻo ʻeku ngaahi saliote kuo u haʻu ki he māʻolunga ʻoe moʻunga, ki he tafaʻaki ʻo Lepanoni, pea te u tuʻusi ki lalo ʻae ngaahi sita māʻolunga ʻo ia, pea mo e ngaahi ʻakau ko e fea lelei ʻo ia: pea te u hū ki he māʻolunga ʻo hono ngaahi ngataʻanga, mo e vao ʻakau ʻo hono Kameli.
25 I haue digged and drunke the waters, and with the plant of my feete haue I dryed all the riuers closed in.
Kuo u keli, pea inu vai, pea kuo u fakamaha ʻaki hoku ʻaofi vaʻe ʻae ngaahi vaitafe kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi kolo kuo kāpui ʻe he tau.
26 Hast thou not heard howe I haue of olde time made it, and haue formed it long ago? and should I now bring it, that it should be destroyed, and layde on ruinous heapes, as cities defensed?
ʻIkai kuo ke fanongo fuoloa, kuo u fai ia ʻe au; pea ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ʻi muʻa, naʻaku tuʻutuʻuni ki ai? ko eni, kuo u fakahoko ia, koeʻuhi ke ke liliu ʻae ngaahi kolo kuo teu tau, ko e ngaahi tuʻunga fale kuo ʻauha.
27 Whose inhabitants haue small power, and are afrayd and confounded: they are like the grasse of the field and greene herbe, or grasse on the house tops, or corne blassed afore it be growen.
Ko ia naʻe mālohi siʻi pe hoʻonau kakai, naʻa nau manavahē pea puputuʻu: naʻa nau hangē ko e mohuku ʻoe ngoue, pea hangē ko e ʻakau mata, ʻo hangē ko e mohuku ʻi he tuʻa fale, pea hangē ko e uite kuo mahunu ʻi he teʻeki ke tupu hake.
28 But I know thy dwelling, and thy going out, and thy comming in, and thy fury against me.
Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ho nofoʻanga, pea mo hoʻo ʻalu kituʻa, mo hoʻo hū ki fale, mo hoʻo ʻita kiate au.
29 Because thou ragest against me, and thy tumult is come vnto mine eares, therefore will I put mine hooke in thy nostrels, and my bridle in thy lips, and wil bring thee backe againe the same way thou camest.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻalu hake ki hoku fofonga hoʻo ʻita kiate au, mo hoʻo fielahi, ko ia te u ʻai ʻeku mātaʻu ki ho avaʻi ihu, mo ʻeku meʻa taʻofi ʻi ho loungutu, pea te u fakafoki koe ʻi he hala ko ia ʻaia ne ke haʻu ai.
30 And this shalbe a signe vnto thee, O Hezekiah, Thou shalt eate this yeere such as groweth of it selfe: and the second yeere, such things as growe without sowing: and in the third yeere, sowe ye and reape, and plant vineyards, and eate the fruite thereof.
Pea ko e fakaʻilonga eni kiate koe, Te mou kai ʻi he taʻu ni ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻiate ia pe; pea ʻi hono ua ʻoe taʻu ʻaia ʻoku tupu mei ai: pea ʻi hono tolu ʻoe taʻu te mou tūtuuʻi, pea tuʻusi mai, pea tō ʻae ngaahi ngoue vaine, pea kai ʻae ngaahi fua ʻo ia.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Iudah, shall againe take roote downward and beare fruite vpward.
Pea ko e toe ʻoe fale ʻo Siuta, kuo hao ʻe toe aka ki lalo, pea fua ʻi ʻolunga:
32 For out of Ierusalem shall goe a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeale of the Lord of hostes shall doe this.
Koeʻuhi ʻe ʻalu ʻi Selūsalema ha toenga kakai, pea ko kinautolu kuo hao ʻi he moʻunga ko Saione: ko e ʻofa ʻa Sihova ʻoe ngaahi kautau te ne fai ʻae meʻa ni.
33 Therefore thus sayth the Lord, concerning the King of Asshur, He shall not enter into this citie, nor shoote an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova ʻaia ʻoku kau ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ‘ʻE ʻikai te ne haʻu ki he kolo ni, pe fanaʻi ha ngahau ki ai, pe haʻu ki ai ʻaki ʻae ngaahi fakaū pe fokotuʻu ha tetanu ki ai.
34 By the same way that he came, he shall returne, and not come into this citie, saith the Lord.
ʻOku pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻI he hala naʻa ne haʻu ai, ʻi he hala ko ia te ne foki atu ai, pea ʻe ʻikai te ne haʻu ki he kolo ni.
35 For I will defend this citie to saue it, for mine owne sake, and for my seruant Dauids sake.
He te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni ʻo fakamoʻui ia koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.’”
36 Then the Angel of the Lord went out, and smote in the campe of Asshur an hundreth, fourescore, and fiue thousand: so when they arose early in the morning, beholde, they were all dead corpses.
Pea naʻe toki ʻalu atu ʻae ʻāngelo ʻo Sihova, ʻo ne taaʻi ʻi he nofoʻanga tau ʻoe kau ʻAsilia ʻae tokotaha kilu mā toko valu mano ma toko nima afe: pea ʻi he tuʻu hengihengi hake ʻae kakai, vakai, kuo nau mate, ko e ʻangaʻanga kotoa pē.
37 So Saneherib king of Asshur departed, and went away and returned and dwelt at Nineueh.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo ne ʻalu, ʻo foki atu, pea nofo ʻi Ninive.
38 And as he was in the temple worshipping of Nisroch his god, Adramelech and Sharezer his sonnes slewe him with the sword, and they escaped into the land of Ararat: and Esarhaddon his sonne reigned in his steade.
Pea naʻe hoko ʻo pehē, lolotonga ʻene lotu ʻi he fale ʻo Nisiloki ko hono ʻotua, naʻe taaʻi ia ʻe hono ongo foha ko ʻAtilameleki mo Salisa ʻaki ʻae heletā pea ne na hao ki he fonua ko ʻAminia pea naʻe pule hono foha ko ʻAsahatoni ko hono fetongi.
