Isaiah 37
1 And it cometh to pass, at the king Hezekiah's hearing, that he rendeth his garments, and covereth himself with sackcloth, and entereth the house of Jehovah,
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 sendeth Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, unto Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet,
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 say unto him, 'Thus said Hezekiah, A day of distress, and rebuke, and despising, [is] this day; for come have sons unto the birth, and power there is not to bear.
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 'It may be Jehovah thy God doth hear the words of Rabshakeh with which the king of Asshur his lord hath sent him to reproach the living God, and hath decided concerning the words that Jehovah thy God hath heard, and thou hast lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.'
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 And the servants of king Hezekiah come in unto Isaiah,
Ko ia naʻe haʻu ʻae kau tamaioʻeiki ʻa Hesekaia kia ʻIsaia.
6 and Isaiah saith unto them, 'Thus do ye say unto your lord, Thus said Jehovah, Be not afraid because of the words that thou hast heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled 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 Lo, I am giving in him a spirit, and he hath heard a report, and hath turned back unto his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his 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 And Rabshakeh turneth back and findeth the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he hath heard that he hath journeyed 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 And he heareth concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, 'He hath come out to fight with thee;' and he heareth, and sendeth messengers unto 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 do ye speak unto Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God lift thee up in whom thou art trusting, saying, Jerusalem is not given 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 Lo, thou hast heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands — to devote them — and thou art delivered!
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 Did the gods of the nations deliver them whom my fathers destroyed — Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden, who [are] in 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 city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?'
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 And Hezekiah taketh the letters out of the hand of the messengers, and readeth them, and Hezekiah goeth up to the house of Jehovah, and Hezekiah spreadeth it before Jehovah.
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 prayeth unto Jehovah, saying,
Pea naʻe hū ʻa Hesekaia kia Sihova, ʻo pehē,
16 'Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubs, Thou [art] God Himself — Thyself alone — to all kingdoms of the earth, Thou hast made the heavens 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 Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, and hear; open, O Jehovah, Thine eyes and see; and hear Thou all the words of Sennacherib that he hath sent to reproach the living 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 'Truly, O Jehovah, kings of Asshur have laid waste all the lands and their land,
Ko e moʻoni, ʻE Sihova, ko e ngaahi tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia kuo nau fakaʻauha ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē, mo honau ngaahi fonua,
19 so as to put their gods into fire — for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone — and they destroy 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 And now, Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth do know that Thou [art] Jehovah, Thyself alone.'
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 And Isaiah son of Amoz sendeth unto Hezekiah, saying, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, That which thou hast prayed unto me concerning Sennacherib 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 word that Jehovah spake concerning him: Trampled on thee, laughed at thee, Hath the virgin daughter of Zion, Behind thee shaken the head hath the daughter of Jerusalem.
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 Whom hast thou reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up the voice? Yea, thou dost lift up on high thine eyes 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 the hand of thy servants Thou hast reviled the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
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 — I have dug and drunk waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
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 from afar? — it I did, From days of old — that I formed it. Now, I have brought it in, And it is to make desolate, Ruinous heaps — fenced cities,
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 And their inhabitants are feeble-handed, They were broken down, and are dried up. They have been the herb of the field, And the greenness of the tender grass, Grass of the roofs, And blasted corn, before it hath risen up.
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 And thy sitting down, and thy going out, And thy coming in, I have known, And thy anger towards Me.
Ka ʻoku ou ʻilo ho nofoʻanga, pea mo hoʻo ʻalu kituʻa, mo hoʻo hū ki fale, mo hoʻo ʻita kiate au.
29 Because of thy anger towards Me, And thy noise — it came up into Mine ears, I have put My hook in thy nose, And My bridle in thy lips, And I have caused thee to turn back In the way in which 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 to thee [is] the sign, Food of the year [is] self-sown grain, And in the second year the spontaneous growth, And in the third year, sow ye and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
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 it hath continued — the escaped Of the house of Judah that hath been left — To take root beneath, And it hath made fruit upward.
Pea ko e toe ʻoe fale ʻo Siuta, kuo hao ʻe toe aka ki lalo, pea fua ʻi ʻolunga:
32 For from Jerusalem goeth forth a remnant, And an escape from mount Zion, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth 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 said Jehovah, Concerning the king of Asshur: He doth not come in unto this city, Nor doth he shoot there an arrow, Nor doth he come before it [with] shield, Nor doth he pour out against it a mount.
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 In the way that he came, in it he turneth back, And unto this city he doth not come in, An affirmation of Jehovah,
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 And I have covered over this city, To save it, for Mine own sake, And for the sake of David My servant.'
He te u maluʻi ʻae kolo ni ʻo fakamoʻui ia koeʻuhi ko au, pea koeʻuhi ko ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko Tevita.’”
36 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth out, and smiteth in the camp of Asshur a hundred and eighty and five thousand; and [men] rise early in the morning, and lo, all of them [are] 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 And journey, and go, and turn back doth Sennacherib king of Asshur, and dwelleth in Nineveh.
Ko ia naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ʻo ne ʻalu, ʻo foki atu, pea nofo ʻi Ninive.
38 And it cometh to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of Nisroch his god, and Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons have smitten him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and Esar-Haddon his son reigneth in his stead.
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.
