II Oihanaalii 32

1 A MAHOPE iho o keia mau mea a me ka hooponopono ana, hiki mai la o Senakeriba ke alii o Asuria, hiki mai la ia ma Iuda, a hoomoana ku e iho la i na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa, me ka manao e lawe pio ia mau mea nona.

After these things, and the establishment thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fenced cities, and thought to win them for himself.

2 A ike o Hezekia, ua hiki mai o Senakeriba, aia hoi kona manao e kaua mai ia Ierusalema,

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

3 Kukakuka pu ia me kona poe koa e pani i ka wai o na punawai, aia no mawaho o ke kulanakauhale: a kokua lakou ia ia.

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

4 Hoakoakoaia na kanaka he nui loa, a pani lakou i na punawai a pau, a me ke kahawai i kahe mai mawaena konu o ka aina, i iho la, No ke aha la e hele mai ai na'lii o Asuria, a loaa ia lakou ka wai he nui loa?

So there was gathered much people together, 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?

5 A hooikaika oia a uhau iho la i kela wahi keia wahi o ka pa i wawahiia, a hookiekie ae a hiki i na halekiai, a i kekahi pa e ae mawaho, a hana hou ia Milo i ke kulanakauhale o Davida, a hana iho la i na ihe a me na palekaua he nui loa.

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.

6 Hoonoho no hoi oia i na luna kaua maluna o na kanaka, a hoakoakoa ia lakou io na la ma ke alanui ma ka ipuka o ke kulanakauhale, a olelo oluolu ia lakou, i aku la,

And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the street of the gate of the city, and spake comfortably to them, saying,

7 E ikaika oukou, e koa hoi, mai makau, aole hoi e weliweli imua o ke alii o Asuria, a imua o keia poe lehulehu a pau me ia: no ka mea, ua oi aku ka poe me makou i ka poe me ia.

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 be] more with us than with him:

8 Me ia he lima kanaka; aka, me kakou o Iehova ko kakou Akua, e kokua mai ia kakou, a e kaua i ko kakou kaua. A hilinai na kanaka i na olelo a Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda.

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.

9 A mahope iho o keia mea, hoouna o Senakeriba ke alii o Asuria i kana poe kaua i Ierusalema, (aia no ia a me kaua poe ikaika me ia e ku e ana ia Lakisa, ) io Hezekia la, ke alii o Iuda, a i ka Iuda a pau, aia ma Ierusalema, i mai la,

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

10 Penei i olelo ai o Senakeriba, ke alii o Asuria, Ma ke aha la i paulele ai oukou i ko oukou noho ana i ka popilikia ma Ierusalema.

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

11 Aole anei i hooikaika o Hezekia ia oukou e haawi ia oukou iho i ka make i ka pololi a me ka makewai, i kana olelo ana ae, O Iehova ko kakou Akua, e hoopakele oia ia kakou mai ka lima aku o ke alii o Asuria.

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

12 Aole anei o ua Hezekia la keia, ka mea nana i lawe aku i kona mau wahi kiekie, a me kona mau kuahu, a olelo aku i ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, i aku la, Imua o ke kuahu hookahi, o hoomana ai oukou, a maluna iho o ia mea e kuni ai i ka mea ala?

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?

13 Aole anei oukou i ike i ka mea a'u i hana'i, Owau a me ko'u mau makua, i na kanaka a pau o na aina? Ua hiki anei i na akua o na lahuikanaka o na aina ke hoopakele i ko lakou aina mai ko'u lima aku?

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

14 Owai ka mea o na akua a pau o ia mau lahuikanaka a ko'u mau makua i luku loa ai, i hiki ia ia ke hoopakele i kona poe kanaka mai ko'u lima aku, i maopopo e hiki i ko oukou Akua ke hoopakele ia oukou mai ko'u lima aku?

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

15 Ano, mai noho a hoopunipuni o Hezekia ia oukou, a malimali mai ia oukou pela, mai paulele oukou ia ia; no ka mea, aole hiki i kekahi akua o kekahi lahuikanaka, a me kekahi aupuni ke hoopakele i kona poe kanaka mai ko'u lima aku, a mai ka lima aku o ko'u poe kupuna; a pehea la e hoopakele ai ko oukou Akua ia oukou mai ko'u lima aku?

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

16 A olelo ino hou aku kana poe kauwa ia Iehova, ke Akua, a ia Hezekia kana kauwa.

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

17 A kakau ia i na palapala e hoino aku ia Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, me ka olelo aku ia ia, i aku la, E like me na akua o na lahuikanaka o na aina e, aole lakou i hoopakele i ko lakou poe kanaka mai ko'u lima aku, pela hoi, aole e hoopakele ke Akua o Hezekia i kona poe kanaka mai ko'u lima aku.

He wrote also letters to rail on 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 mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.

18 Kahea lakou me ka leo nui, ma ka olelo a ka Iuda, i na kanaka o Ierusalema i ka poe maluna o ka pa, e hoomakau ia lakou, a e hoopihoihoi ia lakou, i loaa mai ke kulanakauhale ia lakou.

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

19 Olelo ino aku la lakou i ke Akua o Ierusalema, e like me na akua o ko na aina e, na mea a kanaka i hana'i.

And they spake against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, [which were] the work of the hands of man.

20 No keia mea, pule aku la o Hezekia ke alii, a me Isaia ke keiki a Amosa, ke kaula, a kahea aku laua i ka lani.

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

21 A hoouna mai o Iehova i anela, nana i luku iho i ka poe koa ikaika a pau, a me na luna, a me na kapena, ma kahi i hoomoana'i ke alii o Asuria: a hoi aku ia i kona aina me ka maka hilahila. A hiki ia i ka hale o kona akua, o na mea i puka mailoko mai o kona puhaka, pepehi lakou ia ia malaila i ka pahikaua.

And the LORD sent an angel, which cut off all the mighty men of valour, 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 was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

22 Pela i hoola ai o Iehova ia Hezekia a me ko Ierusalema mai ka lima aku o Senakeriba ke alii o Asuria, a mai ka lima aku o na mea a pau, a kiai oia maluna o lakou a puni.

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 [other], and guided them on every side.

23 A nui ka poe i lawe mai i na makana na Iehova ma Ierusalema, a me na mea haawi wale na Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda; a ua kiekie oia i na maka o na lahuikanaka a pau mai ia manawa mai.

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

24 Ia mau la, he mai make ko Hezekia, a pule aku la oia ia Iehova; a olelo mai kela ia ia, a hana mai ia ia i ka hana mana.

In those days Hezekiah was sick to the death, and prayed unto the LORD: and he spake unto him, and he gave him a sign.

25 Aole hoi i hana aku o Hezekia e like me kana lokomaikaiia mai; no ka mea, ua hookiekieia kona naau: no ia mea, ua hiki mai ka huhu maluna ona, a maluna o ka Iuda a me ko Ierusalema.

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

26 Aka, hoohaahaa o Hezekia ia ia iho no ke kiekie o kona naau, oia a me ko Ierusalema, no ia mea, aole i hiki mai ka huhu o Iehova maluna o lakou i na la o Hezekia.

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.

27 Aia no ia Hezekia ka waiwai a me ka hanohano he nui loa; a hana iho la ia nona i mau waihonawaiwai no ke kala, a no ke gula, a no na pohaku makamae, a no na mea ala, a no na palekaua, a no na ipu maikai a pau o kela ano keia ano;

And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour: 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;

28 I na hale paapaa no hoi no ka hoahu ana o ka ai, a me ka waina, a me ka aila; i na wahi no na holoholona a pau loa, a i na pa no hoi no na hipa.

Storehouses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and cotes for flocks.

29 Hana no hoi ia nona i na kulanakauhale, a loaa ia ia na hipa, a me na bipi he nui loa; no ka mea, haawi mai no ke Akua ia ia i ka waiwai he nui loa.

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

30 A o ua Hezekia la, ua pani oia i ke kahawai o Gihona maluna iho, a hookahe pololei mai ia mea ma ka aoao komohana o ke kulanakauhale o Davida. A ua hoopomaikaiia mai o Hezekia ma kana hana ana a pau loa.

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.

31 Aka, ma ka mea a na elele a na alii o Babulona i hoounaia mai ai io na la, e imi i ka mea kupanaha i hanaia ma ka aina, ua haalele ke Akua ia ia, e hoao ia ia, i ike oia i kona naau a pau loa.

Howbeit in [the business of] the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to enquire 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.

32 A o na mea i koe a Hezekia i hana'i, a me kona maikai, aia hoi ua kakauia ma ka wanana a Isaia ke keiki a Amosa ke kaula, a ma ka buke no na'lii o Iuda a me Iseraela.

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.

33 A hiamoe o Hezekia me kona poe kupuna, a kanu lakou ia ia ma kahi kiekie o na ilina no na mamo a Davida, a hoohanohano ka Iuda a pau, a me ko Ierusalema ia ia i kona make ana; a noho alii iho la, o Manase kana keiki ma kona hakahaka.

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