2 Chronicles 32

1 After [these] things, and their establishment, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to win them for himself.

Pea hili ʻae ngaahi meʻa ni, mo hono fakatuʻumaʻu ʻo ia, naʻe haʻu ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea hoko ki Siuta, pea naʻe fakanofo ʻene tau ki he ngaahi kolotau, pea mahalo ʻe ia te ne maʻu ʻakinautolu maʻana.

2 And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that he purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Hesekaia kuo haʻu ʻa Senakalipe, pea kuo loto ia ke tauʻi ʻa Selūsalema,

3 He took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which [were] without the city: and they helped him.

Naʻe fakakaukau ai ia mo hono houʻeiki mo ʻene kau tangata mālohi ke punusia ʻae vai ʻoe ngaahi matavai ʻaia naʻe ʻituʻa ʻi he kolo: pea naʻa nau tokoni kiate ia.

4 So there were assembled many people, who stopped all the fountains, and the brook that ran through the midst of the land, saying, Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?

Ko ia naʻe fakakātoa ai ʻae kakai tokolahi, ʻonau punusia ʻae ngaahi matavai kotoa pē, mo e vaitafe ʻaia naʻe tafe ʻi loto fonua, ʻonau pehē, Koeʻumaʻā ʻae haʻu ʻae ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻonau maʻu ʻae vai lahi?

5 Also he strengthened himself, and built up all the wall that was broken, and raised [it] up to the towers, and another wall without, and repaired Millo [in] the city of David, and made darts and shields in abundance.

Pea naʻa ne fakamālohi ia, pea naʻa ne langa ʻae ʻā maka kotoa pē naʻe holoki hifo, pea fokotuʻu hake ʻae ngaahi fale māʻolunga, mo e ʻā maka ʻe taha ʻi tuaʻā, ʻo ne teuteuʻi ʻa Milo ʻi he Kolo ʻo Tevita, pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae ngaahi tao mo e ngaahi pā ke lahi ʻaupito.

6 And he set captains of war over the people, and assembled them to him in the street of the gate of the city, and encouraged them, saying,

Pea naʻa ne fakanofo ʻae kau ʻeikitau ki he kakai, ʻo ne tānaki ʻo fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate ia ʻi he hala ʻoe matapā ʻoe kolo, ʻo ne lea lelei kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē,

7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that [is] with him: for [there are] more with us than with him:

Ke mou mālohi mo lototoʻa, “ʻOua naʻa manavahē pe puputuʻu koeʻuhi ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pe ki he fuʻu tokolahi kotoa pē ʻoku ʻiate ia: he ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻae tokolahi hake ʻiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻiate ia:

8 With him [is] an arm of flesh; but with us [is] the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

‌ʻOku ʻiate ia ʻae nima fakakakano ka ʻoku ʻiate kitautolu ʻa Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua ke tokoni ʻakitautolu, pea ke fai ʻetau ngaahi tau.” Pea naʻe fiemālie ʻae kakai ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta.

9 After this Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem, (but he [himself laid siege] against Lachish, and all his power with him, ) to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah that [were] at Jerusalem, saying,

Hili ʻae meʻa ni naʻe fekau ʻe Senakalipe ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki ki Selūsalema (ka naʻe nofo pe ia ʻo tauʻi ʻa Lakisi mo ʻene mālohi kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia) kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta, pea ki he kakai Siuta kotoa pē naʻe ʻi Selūsalema, ʻo pehē,

10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria, On what do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege in Jerusalem?

“ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, Ko e hā ia ʻoku mou faʻaki ki ai, ʻoku mou tali ai ʻi he kolotau ʻo Selūsalema?

11 Doth not Hezekiah persuade you to give over yourselves to die by famine and by thirst, saying, The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

‌ʻIkai kuo fakahehemaʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Hesekaia ke tukuange ʻakimoutolu ke mou mate ʻi he fiekaia mo e fieinu, ʻo pehē, Ko Sihova ko hotau ʻOtua te ne fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia?

12 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall worship before one altar, and burn incense upon it?

‌ʻIkai kuo holoki hifo ʻe he Hesekaia ko ia, hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga mo ʻene ngaahi feilaulauʻanga, pea ne fekau ki Siuta mo Selūsalema, ʻo pehē, Te mou hū ʻi he muʻa feilaulauʻanga pe taha, pea tutu ki ai ʻae meʻa namu kakala.

13 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of [other] lands? were the gods of the nations of those lands any ways able to deliver their lands out of my hand?

‌ʻOku ʻikai te mou ʻilo ʻaia kuo u fai ʻeau pea mo ia naʻe fai ʻe heʻeku ngaahi tamai ki he kakai kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua kehe? he naʻe mafai fakasiʻisiʻi ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia ke fakamoʻui honau ngaahi fonua mei hoku nima?

14 Who [was there] among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?

Ko hai ia ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ko ia naʻe fakaʻauha ʻaupito ʻe heʻeku ngaahi tamai, naʻe mafai ʻe ia ke fakamoʻui hono kakai mei hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke pehē ʻe mafai ʻe homou ʻOtua ke fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei hoku nima?

15 Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you in this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom hath been able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?

Pea ko eni ʻoua naʻa mou tuku ʻa Hesekaia ke ne kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu, pe ke fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻo pehē ni, pea ʻoua foki naʻa mou tui kiate ia: he naʻe ʻikai ha ʻotua ʻo ha kakai pe ha puleʻanga naʻe mafai ke fakamoʻui hono kakai mei hoku nima, pea mei he nima ʻo ʻeku ngaahi tamai: kae muʻa hake eni ʻae taʻemafai ʻo homou ʻOtua ke fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu mei hoku nima?”

16 And his servants spoke yet [more] against the LORD God, and against his servant Hezekiah.

Pea naʻe lea kovi lahi hake ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua, pea ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki ko Hesekaia.

17 He wrote also letters to rail at the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of [other] lands have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of my hand.

Pea naʻe tohi ʻe ia ʻae ngaahi tohi ke kape kia Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, pea ke talakoviʻi ia, ʻo pehē, “Naʻe ʻikai faʻa fai ʻe he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ke fakamoʻui honau kakai mei hoku nima, pea ʻe pehē, ʻe ʻikai mafai ʻe he ʻOtua ʻo Hesekaia ke fakamoʻui hono kakai mei hoku nima.”

18 Then they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' speech to the people of Jerusalem that [were] on the wall, to affright them, and to fill them with consternation; that they might take the city.

Pea naʻa nau toki kalanga ʻi he leʻo lahi ʻi he lea fakaSiu ki he kakai ʻo Selūsalema naʻe ʻi he funga ʻā, ke fakamanavahēʻi ʻakinautolu, pea ke fakamamahiʻi ʻakinautolu: koeʻuhi ke nau lavaʻi ʻae kolo.

19 And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the work of the hands of man.

Pea naʻa nau lea kovi ki he ʻOtua ʻo Selūsalema, ʻo hangē ko ʻenau lau ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoe kakai ʻo māmani, ʻaia ʻoku ngaohi ʻe he nima ʻoe tangata.

20 And for this [cause] Hezekiah the king, and the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz, prayed and cried to heaven.

Pea ko e meʻa ko ia naʻe lotu ai mo tangi ki langi ʻa Hesekaia ko e tuʻi mo e palōfita ko ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi.

21 And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valor, and the leaders and captains in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he had come into the house of his god, they that came forth from his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sihova ʻae ʻāngelo, ʻaia naʻa ne taaʻi ʻae kau tangata toʻa mālohi kotoa pē, mo e kau taki tau mo e houʻeiki pule ʻi he ʻapitanga ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia. Ko ia naʻe toe ʻalu ai ia ʻo mata mā ki hono fonua. Pea ʻi heʻene hoko ki he fale ʻo hono ʻotua naʻe tāmateʻi ia ʻaki ʻae heletā, ʻekinautolu naʻe tupu mei hono fatu ʻoʻona.

22 Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all [others], and guided them on every side.

Naʻe pehē pe hono fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa Hesekaia mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema mei he nima ʻo Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea mei he nima ʻoe [kakai ]kotoa pē, pea naʻa ne fakahinohinoʻi ʻakinautolu ʻi he potu kotoa pē.

23 And many brought gifts to the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that from thenceforth he was magnified in the sight of all nations.

Pea naʻe ʻomi ʻe he tokolahi ʻae ngaahi meʻa foaki kia Sihova ki Selūsalema, mo e ngaahi meʻaʻofa kia Hesekaia ko e tuʻi ʻo Siuta: pea talu mei ai naʻe fakahikihiki ia ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē.

24 In those days Hezekiah was sick and near to death, and [he] prayed to the LORD: and he spoke to him, and he gave him a sign.

Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe mahaki ʻa Hesekaia ʻo teitei mate: pea naʻe lotu ia kia Sihova: pea naʻe folofola ia ki ai, pea naʻe tuku kiate ia ʻae fakaʻilonga.

25 But Hezekiah rendered not again according to the benefit [done] to him; for his heart was lifted up: therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

Ka naʻe ʻikai ke fai ʻe Hesekaia ʻo fakatatau ki he lelei naʻe fai kiate ia: he naʻe fakahikihiki hono loto: ko ia naʻe ʻai ʻae houhau kiate ia, pea ki Siuta mo Selūsalema.

26 Notwithstanding, Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, [both] he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

Ka naʻe fakavaivai ia ʻe Hesekaia koeʻuhi ko e fielahi ʻo hono loto, ko ia mo e kakai ʻo Selūsalema, ko ia naʻe ʻikai tō ai ʻae houhau ʻa Sihova kiate kinautolu ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻo Hesekaia.

27 And Hezekiah had very great riches and honor: and he made himself treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of pleasant jewels:

Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe Hesekaia ʻae koloa lahi ʻaupito mo e ongoongolelei lahi: pea naʻa ne ngaohi moʻona ʻae ngaahi fale faʻoʻanga siliva, pea ki he koula, mo e ngaahi maka koloa mahuʻinga, pea ki he ngaahi meʻa nanamu, pea ki he ngaahi pā, pea ki he ngaahi meʻa teunga lelei kehekehe kotoa pē:

28 Store-houses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.

Mo e ngaahi feleoko foki ki hono tupu ʻoe uite, mo e uaine, mo e lolo: mo e ngaahi tuʻuʻanga ki he fanga manu kehekehe kotoa pē, mo e ngaahi lotoʻā ki he ngaahi fanga manu siʻi.

29 Moreover, he provided for himself cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance: for God had given him substance in great abundance.

Pea naʻa ne ngaohi maʻana ʻae ngaahi kolo, mo e ngaahi fanga manu siʻi, mo e ngaahi fanga manu lahi: he naʻe foaki kiate ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻae ngaahi meʻa lahi.

30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper watercourse of Gihon, and brought it straight down to the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

Ko e Hesekaia ni foki naʻa ne tāpuni ʻae tafeʻanga vai ʻi ʻolunga ʻi Kihoni, ʻo ne ʻomi totonu ia ʻi he potu lulunga ʻoe Kolo ʻo Tevita. Pea naʻe monūʻia ʻa Hesekaia ʻi heʻene ngāue kotoa pē.

31 But, in [the business of] the embassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was [done] in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all [that was] in his heart.

Ka ko e meʻa ʻi he ngāue ʻae kau tangata fekau mei he houʻeiki ʻo Papilone, ʻaia naʻa nau fekau kiate ia ke fehuʻi kiate ia ʻi he meʻa mana naʻe fai ʻi he fonua, naʻe fakatukutukuʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua, ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ia, koeʻuhi ke ne ʻilo ai ʻaia kotoa pē naʻe ʻi hono loto.

32 Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, behold, they [are] written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, [and] in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

Pea ko eni, ko hono toe ʻoe ngāue ʻa Hesekaia, mo ʻene angalelei, vakai, kuo tohi ia ʻi he [tohi ]kikite ʻae palōfita ko ʻIsaia, ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi, pea ʻi he tohi ʻoe ngaahi tuʻi ʻo Siuta mo ʻIsileli.

33 And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the chief of the sepulchers of the sons of David: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honor at his death: and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

Pea naʻe mohe ʻa Hesekaia mo ʻene ngaahi tamai, pea nau tanu ia ʻi he fungani fonualoto ʻoe ngaahi foha ʻo Tevita: pea naʻe fai fakaʻapaʻapa kiate ia ʻa Siuta kotoa pē mo e kakai kotoa pē ʻo Selūsalema ʻi heʻene pekia. Pea naʻe fetongi ia ʻi he pule ʻe hono foha ko Manase.
