< Isaiah 36 >

1 Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fenced cities of Judah and took them.
I KA makahiki umikumamaha o ke alii, o Hezekia, pii ku e mai la Sanekariba ke alii o Asuria, i na kulanakauhale a pau i paa i ka pa o ka Iuda, a hoopio iho la ia lakou.
2 And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field.
A hoouna ae la ke alii o Asuria ia Rabesake, mai Lakisa ae, a i Ierusalema, i ke alii io Hezekia la, me na koa he nui loa. A ku iho la oia ma ka auwai o ka waipuna luna, ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i ke kula o ka mea holoi lole.
3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder.
Alaila, hele aku la io na la, o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, o ka mea maluna o ko ka hale, a me Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me Ioa, ke keiki a Asana, ke kakaumooolelo.
4 And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, what confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
I mai la o Rabesake ia lakou, E i aku oukou ia Hezekia, ke olelo mai nei ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria penei, Heaha keia hilinai ana au e hilinai nei?
5 I say, [thy] counsel and strength for the war are but vain words: now on whom dost thou trust, that thou hast rebelled against me?
Ke olelo nei au, he olelo lapuwale kou akamai a me kou ikaika i ke kaua. Ke hilinai aku nei oe ia wai, i kipi mai ai oe ia'u?
6 Behold, thou trustest upon the staff of this bruised reed, even upon Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust on him.
Aia ka! ke hilinai nei oe i ke kookoo o keia ohe naha, o Aigupita, ka mea e komo ai i ka lima a puka, ke hilinai ke kanaka maluna ona. Pela o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita i ka poe a pau i hilinai maluna ona.
7 But if thou say unto me, We trust in the LORD our God: is not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah hath taken away, and hath said to Judah and to Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
Aka, ina olelo mai oe ia'u. Ke hilinai aku nei makou ia Iehova, i ko makou Akua; aole anei oia ka mea nona na wahi kiekie, a nona hoi na kuahu a Hezekia i wawahi ai, a ua olelo no hoi i ka Iuda, a i ko Ierusalema, Mamua o keia kuahu oukou e hoomana'i?
8 Now therefore, I pray thee, give pledges to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
Ano la, ea, e hoolimalima oe me kuu haku, me ke alii o Asuria, a e haawi aku no au ia oe i elua tausani lio, ina paha e hiki ia oe ke hoonoho i na hololio maluna o lakou.
9 How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master’s servants, and put thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
Pehea hoi oe e hoohuli aku ai i ka maka o kekahi luna uuku o na kauwa a kuu haku, a hilinai hoi maluna o Aigupita, no na kaakaua, a no na hololio?
10 And am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? The LORD said unto me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.
Ano hoi, aole anei o Iehova kekahi pu me au i pii mai nei i keia aina, e luku ia? Ua olelo mai no o Iehova ia'u, E pii ae oe i keia aina, a e luku iho ia.
11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Alaila, olelo aku la o Eliakima, a me Sebena, a me Ioa, ia Rabesake, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e olelo mai oe i kau mau kauwa nei ma ka olelo Suria, no ka mea, ua ike makou ia. Mai olelo mai ma ka olelo Iudaio, ma na pepeiao o na kanaka maluna o ka pa.
12 But Rabshakeh said, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? [hath he] not [sent me] to the men that sit upon the wall, to eat their own dung, and to drink their own water with you?
Aka, olelo mai la o Rabesake, Ua hoouna mai nei anei ko'u haku ia'u i kou haku, a iou la, e olelo i keia mau olelo? Aole anei i ka poe kanaka e noho ana ma ka pa, i ai lakou i ko lakou lepo iho, a inu hoi i ko lakou mimi iho me oukou?
13 Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said, Hear ye the words of the great king, the king of Assyria.
Alaila, ku mai la o Rabesake, a hea ae la me ka leo nui, ma ka olelo Iudaio, i ae la, E hoolohe mai oukou i na olelo a ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria.
14 Thus saith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he shall not be able to deliver you:
Ke i mai nei ke alii penei, Mai walewale oukou ia Hezekia, no ka mea, aole e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele ia oukou.
15 neither let Hezekiah make you trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
Mai ae aku i ko Hezekia hooikaika ana ia oukou e hilinai ia Iehova, i ka i ana iho, E oiaio no e hoopakele o Iehova ia kakou; aole e haawiia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Asuria.
16 Hearken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith the king of Assyria, Make your peace with me, and come out to me; and eat ye every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye every one the waters of his own cistern:
Mai hoolohe i ka Hezekia; no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei ke alii o Asuria penei, E hana oukou me au i kuikahi, a e puka mai iwaho io'u nei; a e ai kela mea keia mea o oukou i ko kona kumu waina, a i ko kona laau fiku, a e inu hoi keia mea, keia mea o oukou i ka wai o kona luawai iho;
17 until I come and take you away to a laud like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
A hiki aku au, a lawe aku ia oukou i ka aina e like me ko oukou aina iho, he aina ai, a waina hoi, he aina berena, a me na pawaina.
18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
E ao oukou, o hoowalewale mai o Hezekia ia oukou, i ka i ana mai, E hoopakele mai no o Iehova ia kakou. Ua hoopakele anei na akua o kekahi lahuikanaka i ko lakou aina iho, mai ka lima aku o ke alii o Asuria?
19 Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Aia la ihea na'kua o Hamata a me Arepada? Auhea hoi na'kua o Separevaima? Ua hoopakele anei lakou ia Samaria mai ko'u lima aku?
20 Who are they among all the gods of these countries, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
Owai la ka mea o na'kua o ia mau aina a pau nana i hoopakele i kona aina iho, mai ko'u lima aku, i hoopakele ai o Iehova ia Ierusalema, mai ko'u lima aku?
21 But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king’s commandment was, saying, Answer him not.
Ekemu ole lakou, aole i olelo aku ia ia i kekahi huaolelo; no ka mea, oia ke kauoha a ke alii, i mai la, Mai olelo aku ia ia.
22 Then came Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
Alaila, hele mai la o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, ka mea maluna o ko ka hale, a me Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me Ioa, ke keiki a Asapa, ke kakaumooolelo, io Hezekia la, me ka haehaeia o ka lole, a hai ae la ia ia i na olelo a Rabesake.
