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.
Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced 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 Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the launderer'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 unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
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 Rabshakeh said unto them, Say all of you now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein you trust?
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?
I say, say you, (but they are but vain words) I have counsel and strength for war: now on whom do you trust, that you rebel 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.
Lo, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in 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?
But if you say to me, We trust in the LORD our God: is it not he, whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has taken away, and said to Judah and to Jerusalem, All of you 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.
Now therefore give pledges, I pray you, to my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you be able on your 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 will you turn away the face of one captain of the least of my master's servants, and put your trust on 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 am I now come up without the LORD against this land to destroy it? the LORD said unto 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.
Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray you, unto your servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on 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?
But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words? has he not sent me to the men that sit upon the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss 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.
Then Rabshakeh stood, and cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language, and said, Hear all of you 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 shall 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 trust in the LORD, saying, The LORD will surely deliver us: this city shall not be delivered 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 an agreement with me by a present, and come out to me: and eat all of you every one of his vine, and every one of his fig tree, and drink all of you 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?
Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, the LORD 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 Arphad? 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 lands, that have delivered their land out of my hand, that the LORD 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.
But they held their peace, and answered him not a word: for the king's commandment 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.
Then came Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, that was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, to Hezekiah with their clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabshakeh.
