Ihaia 36

1 Na no te tekau ma wha o nga tau o Kingi Hetekia ka whakaekea mai nga pa taiepa katoa o Hura e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, a riro ana i a ia.

Naʻe hoko ʻo pehē ʻi hono taʻu ʻe hongofulu ma fā ʻoe pule ʻa Hesekaia, naʻe haʻu ʻa Senakalipe ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ki he ngaahi kolo kotoa pē ʻo Siuta naʻe teu ki he tau, pea ne lavaʻi ʻakinautolu.

2 Na ka tonoa mai e te kingi o Ahiria a Rapahake i Rakihi ki a Kingi Hetekia, ki Hiruharama; he nui te ope. Na tu ana ia ki te awakeri o to runga puna wai, ki te ara i te mara o te kaihoroi kakahu.

Pea naʻe fekau atu ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻa Lapisake mei Lakisi ki Selūsalema kia Hesekaia mo e kongakau tokolahi mo ia. Pea naʻa ne tuʻu ʻi he veʻevai taupotu ki ʻolunga ʻi he hala lahi ʻoe ngoue ʻae tangata fakamaʻa kofu.

3 Na ka puta atu ki a ia a Eriakimi, tama a Hirikia, rangatira o te whare, ratou ko Hepena, kaituhituhi, ko Ioaha, tama a Ahapa, kaiwhakamahara.

Pea naʻe toki haʻu kiate ia ʻa Iliakimi, ko e foha ʻo Hilikia, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he fale, pea mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, mo Soa, ko e foha ʻo ʻAsafi, ko e matāpule tohi.

4 Na ka mea a Rapahake ki a ratou, Tena, mea atu ki a Hetekia, ko te kupu tenei a te kingi nui, a te kingi o Ahiria, He aha tenei whakawhirinaki e whakawhirinaki na koe?

Pea pehē ʻe Lapisake kiate kinautolu, Mou pehē kia Hesekaia, “ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi lahi, ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, Ko e hā koā ʻae falalaʻanga ni ʻoku ke falala ki ai?”

5 Ki taku, ko tau ngarahu, me tou kaha mo te whawhai he kupu noa iho. Ko wai tou whakawhirinakitanga, i whakakeke ai koe ki ahau?

Kuo ke pehē ʻe koe, (ka ko e lea taʻeʻaonga, ) “ʻOku ʻiate au ʻae fakakaukau mo e mālohi ki he tau: ka ʻoku ke falala kia hai, ke ke angatuʻu ai kiate au?

6 Na e whakawhirinaki na koe ki tena kakaho whati hei tokotoko, ki Ihipa; ki te whakahinga atu te tangata ki reira, ka ngoto ki tona ringa, na kua tu. Ka pera ano a Parao kingi o Ihipa ki te hunga katoa e okioki ana ki a ia.

Vakai, ʻoku ke faʻaki ki he tokoni ʻoe kaho mafesi ni, ko ʻIsipite; ʻaia ʻi he faʻaki ki ai ha tangata, ʻe ʻasi ia ki hono nima, pea ʻe lavea ia: ʻoku pehē ʻa Felo ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsipite kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.”

7 Na ki te mea koe ki ahau, ko Ihowa, ko to matou Atua ta matou e whakawhirinaki nei: he teka ianei nana nga wahi tiketike, me nga aata e whakakahoretia na e Hetekia, i mea na ki a Hura raua ko Hiruharama, Hei mua i tenei aata koutou koropiko ai?

Ka ʻi hoʻo pehē mai kiate au, “ʻOku mau falala kia Sihova ko homau ʻOtua: ʻikai kuo liʻaki ʻe Hesekaia hono ngaahi potu māʻolunga pea mo hono ngaahi feilaulauʻanga pea ne pehē ki Siuta, mo Selūsalema, ‘Te mou lotu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe feilaulauʻanga ni?’

8 Na, tena ra, homai aianei he utu pupuri ki toku ariki, ki te kingi o Ahiria, a ka hoatu e ahau etahi hoiho ki a koe, kia rua mano, ki te taea e koe te whakanoho he kaieke ki runga ki a ratou.

Ko ia ʻoku ou fekau kiate ko e ke ke ʻomi ʻae ngaahi meʻa fakamoʻoni, ki hoku ʻeiki ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, pea te u foaki atu ʻae hoosi ʻe ua afe, ʻo kapau te ke faʻa fakaheka ʻe koe ha kau tangata ki ai.

9 A me pehea e hoki ai i a koe te kanohi o tetahi rangatira o nga mea ririki rawa o nga pononga a toku ariki; i a koe ka whakawhirinaki ki Ihipa ki te hariata, ki te kaieke hoiho mau?

Pea ka kuo pehē, ʻe fēfē hoʻo fakafoki ʻae mata ʻo ha ʻeikitau ʻoku siʻi hifo ʻi he ngaahi tamaioʻeiki ʻo ʻeku ʻeiki, pea falala ki ʻIsipite ke maʻu mei ai ʻae ngaahi saliote mo e kau tangata heka hoosi?

10 I ngaro ranei a Ihowa i toku haerenga mai ki te huna i tenei whenua? I mea mai a Ihowa ki ahau, Haere ki tera whenua huna ai.

Pea kuo u haʻu eni ki he fonua ni ke tauʻi pea fakaʻauha ia ka e taʻekau ki ai ʻa Sihova? Naʻe pehē mai ʻe Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻAlu hake ki he fonua ni, pea fakaʻauha ia.’”

11 Na ka mea a Eriakimi ratou ko Hepena, ko Ioaha, ki a Rapahake, Tena, korero Hiriani mai ki au pononga; e mohiotia ana hoki tena reo e matou, kaua hoki e korero reo Hurai mai ki a matou, i te mea e whakarongo ana te iwi nei i runga i te taiepa.

Pea naʻe toki pehē ʻe Iliakimi mo Sepina pea mo Soa kia Lapisake, “ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke lea ki hoʻo kau tamaioʻeiki ʻi he lea fakaSilia; he ʻoku mau ʻilo ia: kaeʻoua ʻe lea kiate kimautolu ʻi he lea fakaSiu, ʻi he telinga ʻoe kakai ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻā.

12 Ano ra ko Rapahake, I tonoa mai ranei ahau e toku ariki ki tou ariki, ki a koe ranei, hei korero i enei kupu? he teka ianei ki nga tangata e noho ana i runga i te taiepa, kia kainga e ratou to ratou paru, kia inumia ano to ratou mimi, ara e kout ou tahi?

Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Lapisake, “Kuo fekau au ʻe heʻeku ʻeiki ki ho ʻeiki pea mo koe ke lea ʻaki ʻae ngaahi lea ni? ʻIkai kuo ne fekau au ki he kau tangata ʻoku nofo ʻi he ʻā, ke nau kai honau kinohaʻa, pea inu honau tuʻutata, fakataha mo kimoutolu?

13 Na tu ana a Rapahake, a nui atu tona reo ki te karanga i te reo o nga Hurai; ka mea, Whakarongo ki nga kupu a te kingi nui, a te kingi o Ahiria.

Pea naʻe toki tuʻu hake ʻa Lapisake, pea kalanga ia ʻi he leʻo lahi ʻi he lea fakaSiu, ʻo pehē, Mou fanongo ki he lea ʻae tuʻi lahi, ʻae tuʻi lahi ʻo ʻAsilia.

14 Ko te kupu tenei a te kingi, Kei tinihangatia koutou e Hetekia; e kore hoki koutou e taea e ia te whakaora.

‌ʻOku pehē ʻe he tuʻi, ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻa Hesekaia ke kākaaʻi ʻakimoutolu; koeʻuhi ʻe ʻikai te ne faʻa fakamoʻui ʻakimoutolu.

15 Kei meinga koutou e Hetekia kia whakawhirinaki ki a Ihowa, i a ia e ki na, Tera tatou ka whakaorangia e Ihowa; e kore tenei pa e tukua ki te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria.

Pea ʻoua naʻa tuku ʻa Hesekaia ke ne fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ke mou falala kia Sihova, ʻo pehē, ‘Ko e moʻoni ʻe fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova:’ ʻe ʻikai tukuange ʻae kolo ni ki he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia.

16 Kaua e rongo ki a Hetekia; ko te kupu hoki tenei a te kingi o Ahiria, Houhia tau rongo ki ahau, haere mai hoki ki waho, ki ahau; ka kai ai koutou i nga hua o tana waina, o tana waina, o tana piki, o tana piki, ka inu ano i te wai o tana puna, o tana puna:

‌ʻOua naʻa fanongo kia Hesekaia: he ʻoku pehē ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, Mou fakalelei mo au ʻaki ha foaki, pea haʻu kituaʻā kiate au: pea kai taki taha ʻi heʻene vaine, pea taki taha ʻi heʻene ʻakau ko e fiki, pea taki taha inu ʻae vai ʻo ʻene puha vai.

17 Kia tae atu ra ano ahau ki te tiki atu i a koutou ki te whenua e penei ana me to koutou nei whenua, ki te whenua witi, waina, ki te whenua taro, mara waina.

Kae ʻoua ke u haʻu ʻo ʻave ʻakimoutolu ki ha fonua ʻoku hangē ko homou fonua, ko e fonua ʻoe uite mo e uaine, ko e fonua ʻoe mā mo e ngoue vaine.

18 Kei whakapatia koutou e Hetekia, ki te mea ia, Ma Ihowa tatou e whakaora. I whakaorangia ranei e tetahi o nga atua o nga tauiwi tona whenua i te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria?

Vakai telia naʻa fakalotoʻi ʻakimoutolu ʻe Hesekaia, ʻo pehē, ‘ʻE fakamoʻui ʻakitautolu ʻe Sihova.’ ʻOku ai ha ʻotua ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga kuo ne fakamoʻui hono fonua mei he nima ʻoe tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia?

19 Kei hea nga atua o Hamata, o Arapara? kei hea nga atua o Heparawaima? i whakaorangia ranei e ratou a Hamaria i toku ringa?

‌ʻOku ʻi fē ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Hamati mo ʻAapati? ʻOku ʻi fē ʻae ngaahi ʻotua ʻo Sifaveimi? Pea kuo nau fakamoʻui ʻa Samēlia mei hoku nima?

20 Na wai o nga atua katoa o enei whenua i whakaora to ratou whenua i toku ringa, e whakaorangia ai e Ihowa a Hiruharama i toku ringa?

Ko hai ʻi he ngaahi ʻotua kotoa pē ʻoe ngaahi fonua ni, kuo fakamoʻui honau fonua mei hoku nima, koeʻuhi ke fakamoʻui ʻe Sihova ʻa Selūsalema mei hoku nima?”

21 Heoi whakarongo kau ana ratou, kihai i utua tana; ko ta te kingi hoki tena i ako ai; i ki ia, Kaua e utua tana.

Ka naʻa nau fakalongo pe, pea ʻikai ha lea siʻi kiate ia: he naʻe pehē ʻae fekau ʻae tuʻi, “ʻOua naʻa talia ia.”

22 Na haere ana e Eriakimi, tama a Hirikia, rangatira o te whare ratou ko Hepena kaituhituhi, ko Ioaha, tama a Ahapa, kaiwhakamahara, ki a Hetekia, he mea haehae o ratou kakahu, a korerotia ana e ratou ki a ia nga kupu a Rapahake.

Pea naʻe toki haʻu kia Hesekaia ʻa Iliakimi, ko e foha ʻo Hilikia, ʻaia naʻe pule ʻi he fale, mo Sepina ko e tangata tohi, mo Soa, ko e foha ʻo ʻAsafi, ko e matāpule tohi, kuo mahae honau kofu, pea naʻe tala kiate ia ʻae ngaahi lea ʻa Lapisake.
