Isaia 36
1 I KA makahiki umikumamaha o ke alii, o Hezekia, pii ku e mai la Sanekariba ke alii o Asuria, i na kulanakauhale a pau i paa i ka pa o ka Iuda, a hoopio iho la ia lakou.
And it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and took them.
2 A hoouna ae la ke alii o Asuria ia Rabesake, mai Lakisa ae, a i Ierusalema, i ke alii io Hezekia la, me na koa he nui loa. A ku iho la oia ma ka auwai o ka waipuna luna, ma ke ala e hiki aku ai i ke kula o ka mea holoi lole.
And the king of Assyria sent Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to king Hezekiah, with a strong force. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway of the fuller's field.
3 Alaila, hele aku la io na la, o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, o ka mea maluna o ko ka hale, a me Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me Ioa, ke keiki a Asana, ke kakaumooolelo.
Then came forth to him Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler.
4 I mai la o Rabesake ia lakou, E i aku oukou ia Hezekia, ke olelo mai nei ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria penei, Heaha keia hilinai ana au e hilinai nei?
And Rab-shakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which thou trustest?
5 Ke olelo nei au, he olelo lapuwale kou akamai a me kou ikaika i ke kaua. Ke hilinai aku nei oe ia wai, i kipi mai ai oe ia'u?
Thou sayest, but it is a word of the lips, [There is] counsel and strength for war. Now on whom dost thou rely, that thou hast revolted against me?
6 Aia ka! ke hilinai nei oe i ke kookoo o keia ohe naha, o Aigupita, ka mea e komo ai i ka lima a puka, ke hilinai ke kanaka maluna ona. Pela o Parao, ke alii o Aigupita i ka poe a pau i hilinai maluna ona.
Behold, thou reliest upon the staff of that broken reed, upon Egypt, on which if a man lean, it goes into his hand, and pierces it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that rely upon him.
7 Aka, ina olelo mai oe ia'u. Ke hilinai aku nei makou ia Iehova, i ko makou Akua; aole anei oia ka mea nona na wahi kiekie, a nona hoi na kuahu a Hezekia i wawahi ai, a ua olelo no hoi i ka Iuda, a i ko Ierusalema, Mamua o keia kuahu oukou e hoomana'i?
And if thou say to me, We rely upon Jehovah our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall worship before this altar?
8 Ano la, ea, e hoolimalima oe me kuu haku, me ke alii o Asuria, a e haawi aku no au ia oe i elua tausani lio, ina paha e hiki ia oe ke hoonoho i na hololio maluna o lakou.
And now engage, I pray thee, with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give thee two thousand horses, if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them.
9 Pehea hoi oe e hoohuli aku ai i ka maka o kekahi luna uuku o na kauwa a kuu haku, a hilinai hoi maluna o Aigupita, no na kaakaua, a no na hololio?
How then wilt thou turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants? And thou reliest upon Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!
10 Ano hoi, aole anei o Iehova kekahi pu me au i pii mai nei i keia aina, e luku ia? Ua olelo mai no o Iehova ia'u, E pii ae oe i keia aina, a e luku iho ia.
And now am I come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.
11 Alaila, olelo aku la o Eliakima, a me Sebena, a me Ioa, ia Rabesake, Ke noi aku nei au ia oe, e olelo mai oe i kau mau kauwa nei ma ka olelo Suria, no ka mea, ua ike makou ia. Mai olelo mai ma ka olelo Iudaio, ma na pepeiao o na kanaka maluna o ka pa.
And Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rab-shakeh, Speak, we pray thee, to thy servants in Syriac, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jewish [language] in the ears of the people that are upon the wall.
12 Aka, olelo mai la o Rabesake, Ua hoouna mai nei anei ko'u haku ia'u i kou haku, a iou la, e olelo i keia mau olelo? Aole anei i ka poe kanaka e noho ana ma ka pa, i ai lakou i ko lakou lepo iho, a inu hoi i ko lakou mimi iho me oukou?
And Rab-shakeh said, Is it to thy master and to thee that my master sent me to speak these words? Is it not to the men that sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own urine with you?
13 Alaila, ku mai la o Rabesake, a hea ae la me ka leo nui, ma ka olelo Iudaio, i ae la, E hoolohe mai oukou i na olelo a ke alii nui, ke alii o Asuria.
And Rab-shakeh stood and cried with a loud voice in the Jewish [language], and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!
14 Ke i mai nei ke alii penei, Mai walewale oukou ia Hezekia, no ka mea, aole e hiki ia ia ke hoopakele ia oukou.
Thus says the king: Let not Hezekiah deceive you; for he will not be able to deliver you.
15 Mai ae aku i ko Hezekia hooikaika ana ia oukou e hilinai ia Iehova, i ka i ana iho, E oiaio no e hoopakele o Iehova ia kakou; aole e haawiia keia kulanakauhale iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Asuria.
Neither let Hezekiah make you rely upon Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will certainly deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
16 Mai hoolohe i ka Hezekia; no ka mea, ke olelo mai nei ke alii o Asuria penei, E hana oukou me au i kuikahi, a e puka mai iwaho io'u nei; a e ai kela mea keia mea o oukou i ko kona kumu waina, a i ko kona laau fiku, a e inu hoi keia mea, keia mea o oukou i ka wai o kona luawai iho;
Hearken not to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make peace with me and come out to me; and eat every one of his vine, and every one of his fig-tree, and drink every one the waters of his own cistern;
17 A hiki aku au, a lawe aku ia oukou i ka aina e like me ko oukou aina iho, he aina ai, a waina hoi, he aina berena, a me na pawaina.
until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of bread and vineyards.
18 E ao oukou, o hoowalewale mai o Hezekia ia oukou, i ka i ana mai, E hoopakele mai no o Iehova ia kakou. Ua hoopakele anei na akua o kekahi lahuikanaka i ko lakou aina iho, mai ka lima aku o ke alii o Asuria?
Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Has any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?
19 Aia la ihea na'kua o Hamata a me Arepada? Auhea hoi na'kua o Separevaima? Ua hoopakele anei lakou ia Samaria mai ko'u lima aku?
Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? where are the gods of Sepharvaim? and have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?
20 Owai la ka mea o na'kua o ia mau aina a pau nana i hoopakele i kona aina iho, mai ko'u lima aku, i hoopakele ai o Iehova ia Ierusalema, mai ko'u lima aku?
Who are they among all the gods of these countries that have delivered their country out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?
21 Ekemu ole lakou, aole i olelo aku ia ia i kekahi huaolelo; no ka mea, oia ke kauoha a ke alii, i mai la, Mai olelo aku ia ia.
And they were silent, and answered him not a word; for the king's command was, saying, Answer him not.
22 Alaila, hele mai la o Eliakima, ke keiki a Hilekia, ka mea maluna o ko ka hale, a me Sebena, ke kakauolelo, a me Ioa, ke keiki a Asapa, ke kakaumooolelo, io Hezekia la, me ka haehaeia o ka lole, a hai ae la ia ia i na olelo a Rabesake.
And Eliakim the son of Hilkijah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph, the chronicler, came to Hezekiah, with their garments rent, and told him the words of Rab-shakeh.
