< 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.
It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into YHWH's house.
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.
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 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.
They said to him, "Thus says Hezekiah, 'This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of rejection; for the children have come to the birth, and there is no 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 YHWH your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master has sent to defy the living God, and will rebuke the words which YHWH your God has heard. Therefore lift up your 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.
Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master, 'Thus says YHWH, "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 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.
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 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,
He heard news concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, "He has come out to fight against you." When he heard it, he returned and 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 you shall speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, 'Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, "Jerusalem won't 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?
Look, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. Shall you 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, Gozan, Haran, Rezeph, and the people of Eden who 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 Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?'"
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.
Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers and read it. Then Hezekiah went up to YHWH's house, and spread it before YHWH.
15 Pule aku la o Hezekia ia Iehova, i aku la,
Hezekiah prayed to YHWH, 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.
"YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have 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.
Turn your ear, YHWH, and hear. Open your eyes, YHWH, and look. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy 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;
Truly, YHWH, the kings of Assyria have destroyed all the countries and their land,
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, YHWH our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are YHWH, even you 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 to Hezekiah, saying, "Thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, 'Because you have 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 YHWH 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.
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 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.
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 your messengers you have taunted YHWH, 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. I will cut down its tall cedars and its choice fir trees. I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
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 dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt."
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.
Have you not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it in ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be yours to destroy fortified cities, turning them 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 had little 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.
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 your sitting down, your going out, your coming in, and your raging 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 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.
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.
This shall be the sign to you. You will eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year sow and reap and plant vineyards, and eat their fruit.
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.
The remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah will 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 a remnant will go forth, and survivors will escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of YHWH of hosts will perform 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 says YHWH concerning the king of Assyria, 'He will not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither will he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound 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 he shall return, and he shall not come to this city,' says YHWH.
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 my 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.
The angel of YHWH went out and struck one hundred and eighty-five thousand men in the camp of the Assyrians. When men arose early in the morning, look, these were all dead bodies.
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, went away, returned to Nineveh, and stayed there.
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.
It happened, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
