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.
It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
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.
He sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet the 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.
They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the point of birth, and there is no strength to deliver them.
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 Jehovah your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.'"
5 A hiki aku na kauwa a Hezekia ke alii io Isaia la.
So the servants of king Hezekiah came 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.
Isaiah said to them, "Thus you shall tell your master, 'Thus says Jehovah, "Do not be afraid of the words that you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed 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.
Look, I will put a spirit in him, and he will hear news, and will return to his own land. I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own 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.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed 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,
When he heard it said of Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "Look, he has come out to fight against you," he sent messengers again 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 shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, "Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
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?
Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Will you be 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?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the people of Eden that were in Telassar?
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, of 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.
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
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.
Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, and said, "Jehovah, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and 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 your ear, Jehovah, and hear. Open your eyes, Jehovah, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, with which he has sent to defy 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, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste the nations and their lands,
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 cast their gods into the fire; for they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood and stone. Therefore they have destroyed 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.
Now therefore, Jehovah our God, save us, I beg you, out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you, Jehovah, are God 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.
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'Whereas you have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria, I have heard you.
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 Jehovah has spoken concerning him: "The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.
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 defied and blasphemed? Against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted 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 your messengers you have defied Jehovah, and have said, 'With the multitude of my chariots, I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will enter into his farthest lodging place, the forest of his fruitful field.
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 with the sole of my feet will I dry up all the rivers of Egypt.'
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.
Haven't you heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now have I brought it to pass, that it should be yours to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
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.
Therefore their inhabitants were of small power. They were dismayed and confounded. They were like the grass of the field, and like the green herb, like the grass on the rooftops when it is scorched by the east wind.
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.
But I know your sitting down, and your going out, and your coming in, and your raging against 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 raging against me, and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose, and my bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way by 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.
"'This shall be the sign to you: You shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same; and in the third year sow, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat its fruit.
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.
The remnant that has escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear 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 out of Jerusalem a remnant will go out, and out of Mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will do 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 says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, 'He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up 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.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come to this city,' says Jehovah.
34 No ka mea, e malama no wau i keia kulanakauhale, e hoola no ia ia no'u, a no Davida kau kauwa.
'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"
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.
It happened that night, that the angel of Jehovah went out, and struck one hundred eighty-five thousand in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, look, these were all dead bodies.
36 A haalele aku la o Senakeriba ke alii o Asuria, hele aku a hoi aku la, a noho iho la ma Nineve.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and lived at 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.
It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
