< II Na Lii 19 >
1 A LOHE ae la o Hezekia ke alii, haehae iho la ia i kona aahu, a hoouhi ia ia iho i ke kapa inoino, a komo aku la ia i ka hale o Iehova.
And it comes to pass, at King Hezekiah’s hearing, that he tears his garments, and covers himself with sackcloth, and enters the house of YHWH,
2 Hoouna aku la ia ia Eliakima ka luna o ko ka hale, a me Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me ka poe kahiko o na kahuna i hoouhiia i na kapa inoino, io Isaia la ke kaula, ke keiki a Amoza.
and sends Eliakim, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and the elderly of the priests, covering themselves with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, son of Amoz,
3 I aku la lakou ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Hezekia peneia, O keia la, he la pilikia, poino a me ka hoowahawana: no ka mea, ua hiki mai ka manawa e hanau ai na keiki, aohe ikaika e hanau mai ai.
and they say to him, “Thus said Hezekiah: This day [is] a day of distress, and rebuke, and despising; for sons have come to the birth, and there is not power to bring forth.
4 Malia paha e hoolohe mai o Iehova kou Akua i na olelo a pau a Rabesake, ka mea a ke alii o Asuria kona haku i hoouna mai ai e hoino i ke Akua ola; a e ahewa aku i na olelo a Iehova kou Akua i lohe ai; nolaila e pule aku oe no ka poe i koe i loaa.
It may be your God YHWH hears all the words of the chief of the butlers with which the king of Asshur his lord has sent him to reproach the living God, and has decided concerning the words that your God YHWH has heard, and you have lifted up prayer for the remnant that is found.”
5 A hiki aku na kauwa a Hezekia ke alii io Isaia la.
And the servants of King Hezekiah come to Isaiah,
6 I mai la o Isaia ia lakou, Penei oukou e olelo aku ai i ko oukou haku, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova peneia, Mai makau oe i na olelo au i lohe ai, i ka mea a na kauwa a ke alii o Asuria i hoohiki ino mai ai ia'u.
and Isaiah says to them, “Thus you say to your lord, Thus said YHWH: Do not be afraid because of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Asshur have reviled Me.
7 Aia hoi, e hoouna au i makani io na la, a e lohe no ia i ka lono, a hoi aku i kona aina; a e hoohaule iho au ia ia i ka pahikaua ma kona aina iho.
Behold, I am giving a spirit in him, and he has heard a report, and has turned back to his land, and I have caused him to fall by the sword in his land.”
8 A hoi aku o Rabesake, a loaa ia ia ke alii o Asuria e kana ana i ko Lebena, no ka mea, ua lohe ia, ua haalele oia i Lakisa.
And the chief of the butlers turns back and finds the king of Asshur fighting against Libnah, for he has heard that he has journeyed from Lachish.
9 A lohe ia no Tirehaka ke alii o Aitiopa, i ka i ana ae, Aia hoi, ua hele mai ia e kaua mai ia oe: a hoouna hou aku la ia i na elele io Hezekia la, i aku la,
And he hears concerning Tirhakah king of Cush, saying, “Behold, he has come out to fight with you”; and he turns and sends messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Penei oukou e olelo aku ai ia Hezekia ke alii o ka Iuda, e i aku, E malama o hoopunipuniia oe e kou Akua au i hilinai ai, i ka i ana'e, Aole e haawiia o Ierusalema iloko o ka lima o ke alii o ko Asuria.
“Thus you speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God in whom you are trusting lift you up, saying, Jerusalem is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
11 Aia hoi, ua lohe no oe i ka mea a na'lii o Asuria i hana aku ai i na aina a pau, ma ka luku loa ana ia lakou: a e hoopakeleia anei oe?
Behold, you have heard that which the kings of Asshur have done to all the lands—to devote them; and are you delivered?
12 Ua hoopakele anei na akua o na lahuikanaka ia lakou, i na mea a ko'u mau makua i luku ai: i Gozana, i Harama, i Rezepa, a me na kanaka o Edena, ka poe ma Telasara?
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 Thelassar?
13 Auhea ke alii o Hamata, a me ke alii o Arepada, a me ke alii no na kulanakauhale o Separevaima, o Hena, a me Iva?
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah?”
14 A lawe ae la o Hezekia i na palapala mai ka lima mai o na elele, a heluhelu iho la ia mau mea: a pii ae la o Hezekia i ka hale o Iehova, a hohola aku la ia mau mea imua o Iehova.
And Hezekiah takes the letters out of the hand of the messengers and reads them, and goes up to the house of YHWH, and Hezekiah spreads it before YHWH.
15 Pule aku la o Hezekia imua o Iehova, i aku la, E Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea e noho ana maluna o na keruba, o oe no ke Akua, o oe wale no, o na aupuni a pau o ka honua; o oe ka i hana i ka lani a me ka honua.
And Hezekiah prays before YHWH and says, “O YHWH, God of Israel, inhabiting the cherubim, You [are] God Himself—You alone—to all the kingdoms of the earth: You have made the heavens and the earth.
16 E Iehova, e haliu mai kou pepeiao, a e lohe: e Iehova, e wehe ae i kou maka, a ike; a lohe i na olelo a Senakeriba, ana i hoouna mai ai e hoino aku i ke Akua ola.
Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, and hear; open, O YHWH, Your eyes, and see; and hear the words of Sennacherib with which he has sent him to reproach the living God.
17 He oiaio no, e Iehova, ua luku aku na'lii o Asuria i na lahuikanaka a me ko lakou aina;
Truly, O YHWH, kings of Asshur have laid waste the nations and their land,
18 A ua haawi aku i ko lakou mau akua i ke ahi; no ka mea, aole lakou he akua, aka, he hana a na lima kanaka, he laau, a he pohaku: nolaila, ua luku aku lakou ia lakou la.
and have put their gods into fire, for they [are] no gods, but work of the hands of man, wood and stone, and destroy them.
19 Ano hoi, E Iehova ko makou Akua, ke nonoi aku nei au ia oe, e hoopakele mai oe ia makou mailoko mai o kona lima, i ike ai na aupuni a pau o ka honua, o oe no o Iehova ke Akua, o oe wale no.
And now, O our God YHWH, please save us out of his hand, and all kingdoms of the earth know that You [are] YHWH God—You alone.”
20 A hoouna aku la o Isaia ke keiki a Amoza io Hezekia la, i aku la, Ke olelo mai nei o Iehova ke Akua o ka Iseraela peneia, Ua lohe au i ka mea au i pule mai ai ia'u no Senakeriba ke alii o Asuria.
And Isaiah son of Amoz sends to Hezekiah, saying, “Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: That which you have prayed to Me concerning Sennacherib king of Asshur I have heard;
21 Eia ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai nona; O ka wahine puupaa, ke kaikamahine a Ziona, ua hoowahawaha mai ia ia oe, a ua akaaka mai ia oe: o ke kaikamahine a Ierusalema, ua hooluli mai ia i kona poo mahope ou.
this [is] the word that YHWH spoke concerning him: Trampled on you—laughed at you Has the virgin daughter of Zion; Shaken the head behind you Has the daughter of Jerusalem!
22 Owai la kau i hoino ai, a i hoohiki ino ai? Maluna owai kau i hookiekie ai i ka leo, a hapai ai i kou maka iluna? maluna o ka Mea Hemolele o ka Iseraela.
Whom have you reproached and reviled? And against whom lifted up a voice? Indeed, you lift up your eyes on high—Against the Holy One of Israel!
23 Ma kou poe elele ua hoino oe ia Iehova, a ua i mai, Me na halekaa o'u a nui, ua pii mai au i kahi kiekie o na mauna, i na aoao hoi o Lebanona, a e kua aku au i kona mau laau kedera loloa, a me kona mau laau paina maikai: a e komo aku au i ka halekipa o kona mokuna, i ka ululaau o kona kihapai ulu.
By the hand of your messengers You have reproached the Lord, and say, In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of mountains—The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the lodging of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.
24 Ua eli iho an, a ua inu i ka wai malihini, a me ka poho o kuu wawae, ua hoomaloo au i na muliwai o Aigupita.
I have dug, and drunk strange waters, And I dry up with the sole of my steps All floods of a bulwark.
25 Aole anei oe i lohe i ka manawa mamua, na'u no ia i hana, a i na wa kahiko, na'u no ia i hookumu? ano, ua hooko no au, i lilo ai oe i mea e luku ai i na kulanakauhale i hoopaaia, a lilo i mau puu opala.
Have you not heard from afar [that] I made it, From days of old that I formed it? Now I have brought it in, And it becomes a desolation, Ruinous heaps [are] fortified cities,
26 Nolaila ua nawaliwali ko lakou poe kanaka, a ua weliweli a pihoihoi, ua like lakou me ka launahele o ke kula, a me ka laau uliuli, me ka weuweu maluna o ka hale, a me ka palaoa eleele mamua o ka opuu ana.
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 grain—before it has risen up!
27 Aka, ua ike au i kou noho ana, a me kou hele ana iwaho, a me kou komo ana iloko, a me kou inaina ana ia'u.
And your sitting down, and your going out, And your coming in, I have known, And your anger toward Me;
28 No kou inaina ana mai ia'u, a no ka pii ana mai o kou haaheo iloko o ko'u pepeiao, nolaila, e hookomo au i ko'u lou i kou ihu, a me ko'u kaulawaha i kou lehelehe, a e hoihoi aku au ia oe ma ke ala au i hele mai nei.
Because of your anger toward Me, And your noise—it came up into My ears, I have put My hook in your nose, And My bridle in your lips, And have caused you to turn back In the way in which you came.
29 O keia ka hoailona ia oe, e ai oukou i keia makahiki i ka ai uluwale, a ia makahiki aku i ka mea uluwale; a i ke kolu o ka makahiki e lulu oukou, a e hoiliili, a e kanu i na malawaina, a e ai i kona hua.
And this [is] the sign to you, Food of the year [is] the spontaneous growth, And in the second year the self-produced, And in the third year you sow, and reap, And plant vineyards, and eat their fruits.
30 A o ke koena i pakele o ka ohana o Iuda e kolo lea ke aa malalo, a e hua mai i ka hua maluna.
And it has continued—The escaped of the house of Judah That has been left—to take root beneath, And has made fruit upward.
31 No ka mea, e puka aku auanei ke koena mai Ierusalema aku, a me ka poe i pakele mai ka mauna o Ziona aku: o ka ikaika o Iehova e hana mai i keia.
For a remnant goes out from Jerusalem, And an escape from Mount Zion; The zeal of YHWH [of Hosts] does this.
32 No ia mea, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova penei no ke alii o Asuria, Aole ia e komo maloko o keia kulanakauhale, aole hoi e pana aku i ka pua malaila, aole hoi o hele mai imua ona me ka palekaua, aole e hoahu i puu e ku pono ana ia ia.
Therefore, thus said YHWH, Concerning the king of Asshur: He does not come into this city, Nor does he shoot an arrow there, Nor does he come before it with shield, Nor does he pour out a mound against it.
33 Ma ke ala ana i hele mai ai, malaila oia e hoi aku ai, aole ia e komo iloko o keia kulanakauhale, wahi a Iehova.
In the way that he comes in—In it he turns back, And to this city he does not come in, A declaration of YHWH—
34 No ka mea, e malama no wau i keia kulanakauhale, e hoola no ia ia no'u, a no Davida kau kauwa.
And I have covered over this city, To save it for My own sake, And for the sake of My servant David.”
35 A ia po iho, hele aku la ka anela o Iehova, a luku aku la, ma kahi hoomoana o ko Asuria, i hookahi haneri a me kanawalukumamalima tausani: a ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi, he poe kupapau make lakou a pau.
And it comes to pass, in that night, that a messenger of YHWH goes out, and strikes one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of Asshur, and they rise early in the morning, and behold, all of them [are] dead corpses.
36 A haalele aku la o Senakeriba ke alii o Asuria, hele aku a hoi aku la, a noho iho la ma Nineve.
And Sennacherib king of Asshur journeys, and goes, and turns back, and dwells in Nineveh;
37 A i kona hoomana ana ma ka hale o Niseroka kona akua, o Aderameleka, a me Sarezera, kana mau keiki, pepehi aku la laua ia ia me ka pahikaua, a holo laua i ka aina o Ararata. A noho alii iho la o Esarehadona, kana keiki, ma kona hakahaka.
and it comes to pass, he is bowing himself in the house of his god Nisroch, and [his sons] Adramelech and Sharezar have struck him with the sword, and they have escaped to the land of Ararat, and his son Esar-Haddon reigns in his stead.
