II Na Lii 18
1 A I ke kolu o ka makahiki o Hosea ke keiki a Ela, ke alii o ka Iseraela, i noho alii ai o Hezekia, ke keiki a Ahaza, ke alii o ka Iuda.
In the third year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, reigned Ezechias the son of Achaz king of Juda.
2 He iwakaluakumamalima na makahiki ona i kona wa i lilo ai i alii, a he iwakaluakumamaiwa na makahiki ana i alii ai ma Ierusalema. A o Abi ka inoa o kona makuwahine, ke kaikamahine a Zekaria.
He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abi the daughter of Zacharias.
3 A hana pono aku la ia imua o Iehova, e like me na mea a pau a Davida kona kupuna i hana'i.
And he did that which was good before the Lord, according to all that David his father had done.
4 A lawe aku la ia i na heiau, wawahi iho la i na kii, a kua aku la i na kii o Aseterota, a ulupa iho la i ka nahesa keleawe a Mose i hana'i: no ka mea, a hiki i keia wa, ua kuni na mamo a Iseraela i ka mea ala ia ia, a kapa aku la kela ia mea, Nehusetana.
He destroyed the high places, and broke the statues in pieces, and cut down the groves, and broke the brazen serpent, which Moses had made: for till that time the children of Israel burnt incense to it: and he called its name Nohestan.
5 Hilinai iho la ia maluna o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela; a mahope ona, noho alii e like me ia o na'lii a pau o ka Iuda, aole hoi mamua ona.
He trusted in the Lord the God of Israel: so that after him there was none like him among all the kings of Juda, nor any of them that were before him:
6 No ka mea, hoopili aku oia ia Iehova, aole ia i haalele i ka hahai ana ia ia, aka, malama no ia i na kauoha a Iehova i kauoha mai ai ia Mose.
And he stuck to the Lord, and departed not from his steps, but kept his commandments, which the Lord commanded Moses.
7 A o Iehova pu kekahi me ia, a ua pomaikai no ia i na wahi a pau ana i hele aku ai: a kipi aku la ia i ke alii o Asuria, aole ia i malama aku ia ia.
Wherefore the Lord also was with him, and in all things, to which he went forth, he behaved himself wisely. And he rebelled against the king of the Assyrians, and served him not.
8 Luku aku la ia i ko Pilisetia, a hiki i Gaza, a me kolaila mau mokuna, mai ka puukaua o ka poe kiai, a hiki i ke kulanakauhale paa i ka papohaku.
He smote the Philistines as far as Gaza, and all their borders, from the tower of the watchmen to the fenced city.
9 A i ka ha o ka makahiki o Hezekia, oia ka hiku o ka makahiki o Hosea, ke keiki a Ela, ke alii o ka Iseraela, hele ku e mai o Salemanesera, ke alii o Asuria, i Samaria, a hoopilikia ia ia.
In the fourth year of king Ezechias, which was the seventh year of Osee the son of Ela king of Israel, Salmanasar king of the Assyrians came up to Samaria, and besieged it,
10 A pau na makahiki ekolu, hoopio lakou ia ia, i ke ono o ka makahiki o Hezekia, oia ka iwa o ka makahiki o Hosea ke alii o ka Iseraela, ua hoopioia o Samaria.
And took it. For after three years, in the sixth year of Ezechias, that is, in the ninth year of Osee king of Israel, Samaria was taken:
11 A lawe pio aku la ke alii o Asuria i ka Iseraela, a hoonoho ia lakou ma Hala, a ma Habora ma ka muliwai o Gosana, a ma na kulanakauhale o ko Media.
And the king of the Assyrians carried away Israel into Assyria, and placed them in Hale, and in Habor by the rivers of Gozan in the cities of the Medes:
12 No ka mea, aole lakou i hoolohe i ka leo o Iehova ko lakou Akua, a ua hai ia lakou kana berita, a me na mea a pau a Mose, ke kauwa a Iehova, i kauoha mai ai, aole lakou i malama, aole hoi i hana.
Because they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord their God, but transgressed his covenant: all that Moses the servant of the Lord commanded, they would not hear nor do.
13 A i ka umikumamaha o ka makahiki o Hezekia ke alii, hele ku e mai o Senakeriba, ke alii o Asuria, i na kulanakauhale a pau o ka Iuda, i paa i ka papohaku, a hoopio iho la ia lakou.
In the fourteenth year of king Ezechias, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came up against the fenced cities of Juda: and took them.
14 A hoouna aku la o Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ke alii o Suria ma Lakisa, i aku la, Ua hana hewa au: e hoi oe mai o'u aku la; a o ka mea au e kau mai maluna o'u, na'u no ia e hali. A kau mai ke alii o Asuria maluna o Hezekia, ke alii o ka Iuda, i ekolu haneri talena kala, a i kanakolu talena gula.
Then Ezechias king of Juda sent messengers to the king of the Assyrians to Lachis, saying: I have offended, depart from me: and all that thou shalt put upon me, I will bear. And the king of the Assyrians put a tax upon Ezechias king of Juda, of three hundred talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold.
15 Haawi aku la o Hezekia i ke kala a pau i loaa ma ka hale o Iehova, a ma ka waihona kala o ka halo o ke alii.
And Ezechias gave all the silver that was found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures.
16 A ia manawa hemo aku la o Hezekia i ke gula ma na pani puka o ka luakini o Iehova, a ma na lapauwila a Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda i kau ai, a haawi aku la oia ia mau mea i ke alii o Asuria.
At that time Ezechias broke the doors of the temple of the Lord, and the plates of gold which he had fastened on them, and gave them to the king of the Assyrians.
17 A hoouna mai la ke alii o Asuria ia Taretana, a ia Rabesarisa, a me Rabesake mai Lakisa aku io Hezekia la ke alii, me ka poe kaua nui i Ierusalema. Pii ae la lakou, a hele mai i Ierusalema. A i ko lakou pii ana, hele mai lakou a ku ma ke kahawai o ka loko maluna ma ke ala o ke kihapai o ka mea holoi.
And the king of the Assyrians sent Tharthan and Rabsaris, and Rabsaces from Lachis to king Ezechias with a strong army to Jerusalem: and they went up and came to Jerusalem, and they stood by the conduit of the upper pool, which is in the way of the fuller’s field.
18 A i ko lakou kahea ana'ku i ke alii, hele mai io lakou la o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, ka luna o ko ka hale, a o Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me Ioa ke keiki a Asapa ke kakaumooolelo.
And they called for the king: and there went out to them Eliacim the son of Helcias who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder.
19 I mai la o Rabesake ia lakou, E olelo aku oukou ano ia Hezekia, Penei ka olelo a ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria, Heaha keia hilinai au e hilinai nei?
And Rabsaces said to them: Speak to Ezechias: Thus saith the great king, the king of the Assyrians: What is this confidence, wherein thou trustest?
20 Ke i mai nei oe, (aka, he olelo a na lehelehe wale no, ) He ike ko'u, a he ikaika hoi no ke kaua. Ano, ea, maluna owai kau e hilinai nei, i kipi mai ai oe ia'u?
Perhaps thou hast taken counsel, to prepare thyself for battle. On whom dost thou trust, that thou darest to rebel?
21 Ano hoi, ke hilinai nei oe maluna o ke kookoo o keia ohe pepe, maluna o Aigupita, ka mea a ke kanaka e hilinai, e komo no ia iloko o kona lima, a puka iho la: pela no o Parao i ka poe a pau e hilinai ana maluna ona.
Dost thou trust in Egypt a staff of a broken reed, upon which if a man lean, it will break and go into his hand, and pierce it? so is Pharao king of Egypt, to all that trust in him.
22 A ina e olelo mai oukou ia'u, Ke hilinai nei makou maluna o Iehova ko makou Akua: aole anei oia ka mea, nona na heiau, a nona hoi na kuahu a Hezekia i lawe aku ai, a i olelo aku i ka Iuda, a me ko Ierusalema, Imua o keia kuahu i Ierusalema nei oukou e kulou ai?
But if you say to me: We trust in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Ezechias hath taken away: and hath commanded Juda and Jerusalem: You shall worship before this altar in Jerusalem?
23 Ano hoi, ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e haawi mai i nku panai na kuu haku, na ke alii o Asuria, a e haawi aku au ia oe i elua tausani lio, ina e hiki ia oe ke kau aku i na hoohololio maluna o lakou.
Now therefore come over to my master the king of the Assyrians, and I will give you two thousand horses, and see whether you be able to have riders for them.
24 A pehea la oe e hoohuli ae i ka maka o kekahi luna o na kauwa uuku a kuu haku, a hilinai ae maluna o Aigupita no na halekaa, a no na hoohololio?
And how can you stand against one lord of the least of my master’s servants? Dost thou trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
25 Ano hoi, ua hele wale mai anei an, aole o Iehova kekahi, e ku e i keia wahi e luku aku ai? O Iehova ka i olelo mai ia'u, E pii ku e oe i keia wahi, a e luku aku ia.
Is it without the will of the Lord that I am come up to this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me: Go up to this land and destroy it.
26 Alaila i aku la o Eliakima ke keiki a Hilekia, a o Sebena a me Ioa, ia Rabesake, Ke noi aku nei au, e olelo mai oe i kau mau kauwa ma ka olelo a Suria, no ka mea, ua ike makou ia: a mai olelo mai oe ia makou ma ka Iudaio iloko o na pepeiao o na kanaka maluna o ka papohaku.
Then Eliacim the son of Helcias, and Sobna, and Joahe said to Rabsaces: We pray thee speak to us thy servants in Syriac: for we understand that tongue: and speak not to us in the Jews’ language, in the hearing of the people that are upon the wall.
27 I mai la o Rabesake ia lakou, Ua hoouna mai anei kuu haku ia'u e olelo aku i keia mau olelo i kou haku, a ia oe wale no? aole anei i na kanaka kekahi e noho ana maluna o ka papohaku, e ai pu ai lakou me oukou i ko lakou lepo iho, a e inu hoi i ko lakou waimimi?
And Rabsaces answered them, saying: Hath my master sent me to thy master and to thee, to speak these words, and not rather to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their urine with you?
28 A ku ae la o Rabesake, a kahea aku la me ka leo nui, ma ka Iudaio, a olelo aku, i aku la, E hoolohe i ka olelo a ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria.
Then Rabsaces stood, and cried out with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, and said: Hear the words of the great king, the king of the Assyrians.
29 Ke olelo mai nei ke alii peneia, E malama o hoopunipuniia oukou e Hezekia: no ka mea, aole e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele ia oukou mai kona lima mai.
Thus saith the king: Let not Ezechias deceive you: for he shall not be able to deliver you out of my hand.
30 A mai hoolana o Hezekia ia oukou maluna o Iehova, i ka i ana 'ku, He oiaio, na Iehova kakou e hoopakele, aole e hooliloia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Asuria.
Neither let him make you trust in the Lord, saying: The Lord will surely deliver us, and this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
31 Mai hoolohe oukou ia Hezekia: no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei ke alii o Asuria peneia, E hana oukou i haawina na'u, a e hele mai oukou iwaho io'u nei, alaila e ai oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona huawaina iho, a o kela kanaka keia kanaka i kona huafiku iho, a e inu oukou, o kela kanaka keia kanaka i ka wai o kana lua iho;
Do not hearken to Ezechias. For thus saith the king of the Assyrians: Do with me that which is for your advantage, and come out to me: and every man of you shall eat of his own vineyard, and of his own fig tree: and you shall drink water of your own cisterns,
32 A hiki mai au, a e lawe aku ia oukou i ka aina e like me ko oukou aina, he aina palaoa, a me ka waina, he aina berena, a me na pawaina, he aina aila oliva, a me ka meli, i ola oukou, aole hoi e make: a mai hoolohe oukou ia Hezekia, no ka mea, ke hoowalewale mai nei ia ia oukou, i ka i ana mai, Na Iehova kakou e hoopakele.
Till I come, and take you away to a land, like to your own land, a fruitful land, and plentiful in wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olives, and oil and honey, and you shall live, and not die. Hearken not to Ezechias, who deceiveth you, saying: The Lord will deliver us.
33 Ua hoopakele iki anei kekahi o na akua o na lahuikanaka e i kona aina mai ka lima mai o ke alii o Asuria?
Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land from the hand of the king of Assyria?
34 Auhea na akua o Hamata, a o Arepada? auhea na akua o Separevaima, o Hena, a me Iva? Ua hoopakele anei lakou ia Samaria mai ko'u lima aku?
Where is the god of Emath, and of Arphad? where is the god of Sepharvaim, of Ana, and of Ava? have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
35 Owai la ka mea o na akua a pau o na aina, nana i hoopakele ko lakou aina mai kuu lima aku, i hoopakele mai ai o Iehova ia Ierusalema mai kuu lima aku?
Who are they among all the gods of the nations, that have delivered their country out of my hand, that the Lord may deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
36 Aka, noho malie iho la na kanaka aole lakou i pane leo iki aku ia ia: no ka mea, oia ke kauoha a ke alii, i ka i ana ae, Mai olelo aku ia ia.
But the people held their peace, and answered him not a word: for they had received commandment from the king that they should not answer him.
37 Alaila hele mai o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, ka luna o ko ka hale, a o Sebena ke kakanolelo, a o Ioa ke keiki a Asapa ke kakaumooolelo, ia Hezekia, me na aahu i haehaeia, a hai mai ia ia i na olelo a Rabesake.
And Eliacim the son of Helcias, who was over the house, and Sobna the scribe, and Joahe the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Ezechias, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rabsaces.
