< Isaia 37 >

1 A LOHE o Hezekia, ke alii, haehae iho la oia i kona lole, a uhi iho la ia ia iho i ke kapa ino, a komo aku la iloko o ka hale o Iehova.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard [it], that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of the LORD.
2 A hoouna ae la oia ia Eliakima, i ka mea maluna o ko ka hale, a me Sebena, i ke kakauolelo, a me na luna o na kahuna me ka uhiia i ke kapa ino, io Isaia la, i ke kaula, i ke keiki a Amosa.
And he sent Eliakim, who [was] over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
3 I ae la lakou ia ia, Ke i mai nei o Hezekia penei, He la popilikia keia, he la no ka hoopai ana, a me ka olelo hoino; no ka mea, ua hiki na keiki i ke kokoke hemo, aole nae he ikaika e hanau ai.
And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day [is] a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and [there is] not strength to bring forth.
4 Malia paha e lohe o Iehova, kou Akua, i na olelo a Rabesake, ka mea a ke alii o Asuria, a kona haku i hoouna'i e hoino ai i ke Akua ola, a e hoopai hoi i na olelo a Iehova a kou Akua i lohe ai. Nolaila, e pule aku oe no ke koena o na kanaka i ikeia.
It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up [thy] prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 A hiki ae la na kauwa a ke alii, a Hezekia 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 penei. Mai makau oe i na olelo au i lohe ai, i na olelo a na kauwa a ke alii o Asuria i olelo hoino mai ai ia'u.
And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith the LORD, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Aia hoi, e haawi aku no au ia ia i manao, a e lohe no oia i ka lono, a e hoi aku i kona aina iho: a na'u no ia e hookulai i ka pahikaua ma kona aina iho.
Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Hoi aku la o Rabesake, a loaa ia ia ke alii o Asuria, e kaua ana ia Libena; ua lohe mua no hoi oia, ua haalele ia ia Lakisa.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 Alaila, lohe ae la oia ia Tirehaka, i ke alii o Aitiopa, i ka i ana mai, Ke hele mai nei ia e kana ia oe. A i kona lohe ana, hoouna mai la ia i mau elele ia Hezekia, i mai la,
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard [it], he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Penei oukou e olelo aku ai ia Hezekia, i ke alii o ka Iuda, e i aku, Mai walewale oe i kou Akua au e hilinai nei, i kana olelo ana, Aole e haawiia o Ierusalema iloko o ka lima o ke alii o Asuria.
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Aia hoi, ua lohe no oe i ka mea a na alii o Asuria i hana'i i na aina a pau, i ka luku loa ana ia lakou; a e hoopakeleia anei oe?
Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
12 Ua hoopakele anei na'kua o na aina i ka poe a ko'u mau makuakane i luku ai; ia Gozana, a me Harana, a me Rezepa, a me na keiki a Edena, ka poe ma Telasara?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, [as] Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which [were] in Telassar?
13 Auhea ke alii o Hamata, a me ke alii o Arepada, a me ke alii o ke kulanakauhale o Separevaima, a me Hena, a me Iva?
Where [is] the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
14 Loaa ia Hezekia ia mau palapala ma ka lima o na elele, a heluhelu iho la. Pii aku la o Hezekia i ka hale o Iehova, a haalii aku la imua o Iehova.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of the LORD, and spread it before the LORD.
15 Pule aku la o Hezekia ia Iehova, i aku la,
And Hezekiah prayed unto the LORD, saying,
16 E Iehova o na kaua, e ke Akua o ka Iseraela, ka mea noho ma na kerubima, o oe no ke Akua, o oe wale no, no na aupuni a pau o ka honua; nau no i hana i ka lani, a me ka honua.
O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwellest [between] the cherubims, thou [art] the God, [even] thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
17 E haliu mai kou pepeiao, e Iehova, a e hoolohe mai hoi; E wehe oe i kou mau maka, e Iehova, a e naua mai; e hoolohe hoi i na olelo a pau a Sanekariba, na mea ana i hoouka mai ai e hoino i ke Akua ola.
Incline thine ear, O LORD, and hear; open thine eyes, O LORD, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
18 He oiaio, e Iehova, ua luku aku no na'lii o Asuria i na lahuikanaka a pau, a me ko lakou aina;
Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
19 A ua kiola aku no i ko lakou akua iloko o ke ahi, no ka mea, he mau akua ole lakou, he hana na na lima o kanaka, he laau, a he pohaku; nolaila lakou i luku aku ai ia mau mea.
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.
20 Ano la, e Iehova ko makou Akua, e hoola mai oe ia makou mai kona lima ae, i ike na aupuni a pau o ka honua, o oe no o Iehova, o oe wale no.
Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou [art] the LORD, [even] thou only.
21 Alaila, hoouna ae la o Isaia, ke keiki a Amosa io Hezekia la, i ae la, Ke i mai nei o Iehova. ke A kua o ka Iseraela penei, No kau pule ana mai ia'u no Sanekariba, ke alii o Asuria;
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
22 Eia ka olelo a Iehova i olelo mai ai nona; Ua hoowahawaha ke kaikamahine puupaa o Ziona ia oe, Ua henehene aku ia oe; O ke kaikamahine hoi o Ierusalema, Ua luliluli oia i kona poo ia oe.
This [is] the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
23 Owai kou mea i hoowahawaha ai, A olelo hoino aku ai no hoi? Ua hookiekie oe i kou leo maluna owai, A alawa hoi i kou mau maka iluna lilo, Maluna no o ka Mea Hoano o ka Iseraela?
Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted [thy] voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? [even] against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Ua hoowahawaha oe i ka Haku ma kau mau kauwa, i ka i ana mai, No ka lehulehu o na kaakaua o'u, Ua pii aku no wau i kahi kiekie o na mauna, I na aoao hoi o Lebanona; E kua aku no wau i kolaila mau laau kedera kiekie, A me kolaila mau laau kaa maikai; A e komo aku no wau i kona wahi kiekie, A i ka welau o kahi nahelehele o kona mahinaai.
By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, [and] the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, [and] the forest of his Carmel.
25 Ua kohi no wau a ua inu hoi i ka wai; A i ke kapuwai o ko'u mau wawae, ua hoomaloo aku no wau i na auwai o Aigupita.
I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
26 Aole anei oe i lohe kahiko na'u ia i manao, A na'u hoi ia i hana i na la mamua? A i keia manawa, ua hooko no wau, I lilo oe i mea e hookahuli ai i na kulanakauhale paa i ka pa, i puu pohaku.
Hast thou not heard long ago, [how] I have done it; [and] of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities [into] ruinous heaps.
27 Nolaila i uuku ai ka ikaika o ka poe e noho ana, Ua makau hoi lakou a pilihua. Like no lakou me ka mauu o ke kula, Ua like hoi me ka nahele uliuli; Me ka mauu maluna o na hale, Me ka hua palaoa malili i kona wa e ku ana.
Therefore their inhabitants [were] of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were [as] the grass of the field, and [as] the green herb, [as] the grass on the housetops, and [as corn] blasted before it be grown up.
28 Aka, ua ike no wau i kou noho ana, A me kou puka ana iwaho, a me kou komo ana iloko, a me kou ukiuki ana ia'u.
But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
29 No ka mea, o kou ukiuki mai ia'u, a me kou hookiekie, Ua pii mai no, a iloko o ko'u mau pepeiao; Nolaila, e hookomo no wau i ko'u lou iloko o kou ihu, A me ko'u kaulawaha ma kou mau lehelehe. A e hoohuli aku no au ia oe ma ke ala au i hele mai ai.
Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
30 E lilo no hoi keia i hoailona nou; E ai no oukou i keia makahiki i na mea ulu wale, A i ka lua o ka makahiki, i na mea i ulu ae mai ia mau mea mai: A i ke kolu o ka makahiki, e lulu hua oukou, a e hoiliili hua hoi, E kanu no hoi oukou i na pawaina, a e ai iho i kolaila hua.
And this [shall be] a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat [this] year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 A o ke koena i pakele o ka hale o ka Iuda, E komo no kona aa ilalo, A e hua mai i ka hua maluna.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 No ka mea, mai loko aku o Ierusalema e puka aku ke koena, A o ka poe pakele hoi, mai loko aku o ka mauna Ziona: Na ka ikaika o Iehova o na kaua e hana i keia,
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this.
33 Nolaila, ke olelo mai nei o Iehova no ke alii o Asuria, Aole ia e komo iloko o keia kulanakauhale, Aole ia e pana mai i kekahi pua malaila, Aole hoi e hoike i na palekaua imua ona, Aole hoi e hana i puukaua ma kona alo.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
34 Ma ke ala ana i hele mai ai, malaila no ia e hoi aku, Aole ia e komo iloko o keia kulanakauhale, wahi a Iehova.
By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the LORD.
35 Na'u no e malama i keia kulanakauhale, e hoola aku no'u iho, A no ka'u kauwa, no Davida.
For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Hele ae la ka anela o Iehova, a laku aku la maloko o kahi hoomoana o ko Asuria, hookahi haneri me kanawalu kumamalima tausani. A ala ae la lakou i kakahiaka nui, aia hoi! he poe kupapau make lakou a pau.
Then the angel of the LORD went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they [were] all dead corpses.
37 Alaila, hele aku la o Sanekariba, ke alii o Asura, a haalele ae la ia wahi, a hoi aku la, a noho iho la ma Nineva.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 A i kona hoomana ana maloko o ka hale o Niseroka, o kona akua, alaila, pepehi iho la kana mau keikikane, o Aderameleka a me Sarezera ia ia i ka pahikaua; a pakele aku la laua maloko o ka aina o Ararata, a noho alii iho la kana keiki, o Esarehadona ma kona wahi.
And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
