< 2 Kings 19 >

1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into 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, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet, 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 unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
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 It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
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 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ai ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia.
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria 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 put a spirit in him, and he shall hear a rumour, and shall return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall 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 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed 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 heard say of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight against thee: he sent messengers again unto 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 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trustest deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
“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 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly: and shalt thou be delivered?
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 delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Edom which were in 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, of Hena, and Ivvah?
Kofaʻā ia ʻae tuʻi ʻo Hemati, mo e tuʻi ʻo ʻApati, mo e tuʻi ʻoe kolo ko Sifaveimi, ʻo Hena, mo Iva?”
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it 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 Hezekiah prayed before the LORD, and said, O LORD, the God of Israel, that sittest upon the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; thou hast 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 thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear the words of Sennacherib, wherewith he hath sent him to reproach the living God.
‌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 Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
Ko e moʻoni, ʻe Sihova, kuo fakaʻauha ʻe he ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga mo honau ngaahi fonua.
18 and have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have 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, save thou us, I beseech thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD God, even thou only.
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 saith the LORD, the God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard [thee].
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 hath spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion hath despised thee and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
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 hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] 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 thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
‌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 digged and drunk strange waters, and with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
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 Hast thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste fenced cities into ruinous heaps.
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 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
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 But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ho nofoʻanga, mo ho fehufaki ki loto mo tuʻa, mo hoʻo lili kiate au.
28 Because of thy raging against me, and for that thine arrogancy is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
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 And this shall be the sign unto thee: ye shall eat this year that which groweth of itself, and in the second year that which springeth of the same; and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
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 the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and 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 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion they that shall escape: the zeal of the LORD shall perform 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 Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come unto this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast a mount against it.
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, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come unto this city, saith 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 For I will defend this city to save it, for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
He te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni, ke fakamoʻui ia, koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.’”
35 And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five thousand: and when men arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
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 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Senakalipe, pea ʻalu ia ʻo liliu ʻo nofo ʻi Ninive.
37 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
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.
