< 2 Kings 19 >
1 And it came to pass, when King Hezekiah heard, that he rent his clothes, —and covered himself with sackcloth, and entered the house of Yahweh;
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 who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, —unto Isaiah the prophet, son 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 unto him—Thus, saith Hezekiah, A day of trouble, and rebuke, and reviling, is this day, —for children are come to the birth, and, strength, is there none to bring forth!
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 It may be that Yahweh thy God will hear all the words of Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his lord hath sent, to reproach a Living God, and will rebuke the words, which Yahweh thy God hath heard, —Wherefore lift thou up a prayer, for the remnant that remaineth.
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 servants of King Hezekiah came unto Isaiah.
Heoi kua tae nga tangata a Kingi Hetekia ki a Ihaia.
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus, shall ye, say, unto your lord, —Thus, saith Yahweh—Be not thou afraid, because of the words which thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have reviled, 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 Behold me! about to let go against him, a blast, and, when he heareth the report, then will he return to his own country, —and I will cause him to fall by the sword, in his own land.
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 Rab-shakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, —for he had heard that he had broken up 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 And when he heard say of Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, saying, Lo! he hath come forth to fight with thee, —then he again sent messengers unto 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, speak, unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying—Let not thy God in whom thou art trusting beguile thee, saying, —Jerusalem shall not be given over, into the hand of the king of Assyria.
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 Lo! thou thyself, hast heard, what the kings of Assyria have done to all the lands, in devoting them to destruction, —and shalt, thou, be delivered?
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 Did the gods of the nations, deliver them, whom my fathers destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, —and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who were in Telassar?
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 are the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, —of Hena, and Ivvah?
Kei hea te kingi o Hamata, te kingi o Arapara, te kingi o te pa o Heparawaima, o Hena, o Iwa?
14 And, when Hezekiah had received the letter at the hand of the messengers, and had read it, then went he up to the house of Yahweh, and Hezekiah spread it out before Yahweh.
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 Yahweh, and said, O Yahweh, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, thou thyself, art GOD, alone, for all the kingdoms of the earth, —thou, didst make the heavens 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 Bow down, O Yahweh, thine ear, and hear, Open, O Yahweh, thine eyes, and see, —yea hear thou the words of Sennacherib, who hath sent—To reproach a Living 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 Of a truth, O Yahweh, —the kings of Assyria have devoted to destruction the nations and their lands;
He tika ano e Ihowa, kua kore i nga kingi o Ahiria nga iwi me o ratou whenua,
18 and have put their gods in the fire, —for, no-gods, were, they, but the work of the hands of men—wood and stone, and so 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 Now, therefore, O Yahweh our God, save us we pray thee, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know, that, thou, Yahweh, art God, alone!
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 son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, What thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard.
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 word that Yahweh hath spoken concerning him, —The virgin daughter of Zion, laugheth thee to scorn, mocketh thee, The daughter of Jerusalem, after thee, doth wag her head.
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 Whom, hast thou reproached, and insulted? and, against whom, hast thou lifted high thy voice? yea thou hast proudly raised thine eyes, against the Holy 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 Through thy messengers, thou hast reproached My Lord, and hast said—With my multitude of chariots, have I ascended the height of the mountains, the recesses of Lebanon, —and have cut down its tallest cedars, its choicest firs, and have entered the shelter of its summit, its thick garden forests.
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, have digged, and have drunk foreign waters, —and have dried up, with the soles of my feet, all the streams of besieged places.
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—that, long ago, that, is what I appointed, and, from days of old, devised it? Now, have I brought it to pass, that thou mightest serve to lay waste, in desolate ruins, fortified cities;
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 And, their inhabitants, being powerless, were overthrown and put to shame, —they became grass of the field, and young herbage, grass on housetops, and seed withered before it came up.
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 Howbeit, thine abode, and thy coming out and thy going in, I know, —and thy raging 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 Because, thy raging against me, and thy contempt, have come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my ring in thy nose, and my bit in thy lips, and will turn thee back by the way by which 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 unto thee, is the sign—Eating, this year, the growth of scattered seeds, and, in the second year, that which groweth after, —then, in the third year, sow ye and reap, plant ye vineyards, and eat the fruit 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 Then shall the escaped of the house of Judah that remain, again—take root downward, and bear fruit upward;
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 Jerusalem, shall go forth a remnant, and that which hath escaped—out of Mount Zion, —the jealousy of Yahweh of hosts, will perform 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 Therefore—Thus, saith Yahweh, concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not enter this city, nor shoot there, an arrow, —nor attack it with shield, nor cast up against it, a mound;
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 By the way that he cometh in, by the same, shall he return, —and, into this city, shall he not enter, declareth Yahweh!
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 Thus will I throw a covering over this city, to save it, —for mine own sake, and for the sake of David my servant.
Ka tiakina hoki e ahau tenei pa, kia ora ai; he whakaaro ki ahau, ki taku pononga ano ki a Rawiri.
35 And it came to pass, during that night, that the messenger of Yahweh went forth, and smote, in the camp of the Assyrians, a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And, when men arose early in the morning, lo! they were all, dead bodies!
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 Sennacherib king of Assyria brake up, and went his way, and returned, —and remained in Nineveh.
Heoi turia atu ana e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, haere ana, hoki ana, noho rawa atu kei Ninewe.
37 And it came to pass, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that, Adrammelech and Sharezer [his sons], smote him with the sword, howbeit, they, escaped into the land of Ararat, —and Esarhaddon his son, reigned, in his stead.
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.
