Ihaia 37
1 Na ka rongo a Kingi Hetekia, haea ana e ia ona kakahu, kei te hipoki i a ia ki te kakahu taratara, a haere ana ki te whare o Ihowa.
And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.
2 I tonoa ano e ia a Eriakimi rangatira o te whare, a Hepena kaituhituhi, me nga kaumatua o nga tohunga, he mea hipoki ki te kakahu taratara, ki a Ihaia poropiti, tama a Amoho;
And 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 Hei mea ki a ia, Ko te kupu tenei a Hetekia, Ko tenei ra, he ra no te he, no te whakatuma, no te whakama; kua taea hoki te whanautanga tamariki, heoi kahore he kaha e whanau ai.
And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy, for the sons have come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
4 Tera pea a Ihowa, tou Atua, ka rongo ki nga kupu a Rapahake i tonoa mai nei e tona ariki, e te kingi o Ahiria, hei whakorekore ki te Atua ora; a ka riri ki nga kupu i rongo ai a Ihowa, tou Atua. Na kia ara tau inoi mo nga toenga e noho nei.
It may be Jehovah thy 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 Jehovah thy God has heard. Therefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
5 Na ko te haerenga atu o nga tangata a Kingi Hetekia ki a Ihaia,
So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
6 Ka mea a Ihaia ki a ratou, Ki atu ki to koutou ariki, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, Kaua e wehi i nga kupu i rongo ra koe, ki era i kohukohu mai ra nga tangata a te kingi o Ahiria ki ahau.
And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall ye say to your master, Thus says Jehovah: Be not afraid of the words that thou have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
7 Na ka tonoa e ahau he wairua ki a ia, a ka rongo ia i tetahi rongo, ka hoki ki tona whenua; ka meinga ano hoki ia e ahau kia hinga i te hoari i tona whenua.
Behold, I will put a spirit in him, and he shall hear news, and shall return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
8 Na hoki ana a Rapahake, a rokohanga atu e ia e whawhai ana te kingi o Ahiria ki Ripina: i rongo hoki ia kua hapainga mai e ia i Rakihi.
So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
9 A ka rongo ia ki a Tirihaka kingi o Etiopia, ki te korero, Kei te haere mai ki te whawhai ki a koe; na ka rongo ia, ka tono tangata ano ki a Hetekia, ka mea.
And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He has come out to fight against thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
10 Ki atu ki a Hetekia kingi o Hura, mea atu, Kei tinihangatia koe e tou Atua, e tau e okioki na koe, i a ia e ki na, E kore a Hiruharama e hoatu ki te ringa o te kingi o Ahiria.
Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God in whom thou trust deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
11 Nana, kua rongo na koa ki ta nga kingi o Ahiria i mea ai ki nga whenua katoa, ki ta ratou hunanga rawatanga i a ratou: a e ora ranei koe?
Behold, thou have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, by destroying them utterly. And shall thou be delivered?
12 I whakaora ranei nga atua o nga tauiwi i nga wahi i huna e oku matua; i Kotana, i Harana, i Retepe, i nga tama a Erene, i era i Terahara?
Have the gods of the nations delivered them, which my fathers have destroyed, Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar?
13 Kei hea te kingi o Hamata, te kingi o Arapara, te kingi o te pa o Heparawaima, o Hena, o Iwa?
Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?
14 Na ka tangohia mai e Hetekia te pukapuka i te ringa o nga karere, korerotia ana e ia. Na haere ana a Hetekia ki runga, ki te whare o Ihowa, wherahia ana e ia ki te aroaro o Ihowa.
And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it. And Hezekiah went up to the house of Jehovah, and spread it before Jehovah.
15 Na ka inoi a Hetekia ki a Ihowa, ka mea,
And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,
16 E Ihowa o nga mano, e te Atua o Iharaira, e noho na i runga o nga kerupima, ko koe te Atua, ko koe anake, o nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua; nau i hanga te rangi me te whenua.
O Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel, who sit above the cherubim, thou are the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. Thou have made heaven and earth.
17 Tahuri mai tou taringa, e Ihowa, whakarongo mai; titiro mai ou kanohi e Ihowa, kia kite koe; kia rongo ki nga kupu katoa a Henakeripi, ki tana i tuku mai ai hei whakorekore mo te Atua ora.
Incline thine ear, O Jehovah, and hear. Open thine eyes, O Jehovah, and see, and hear all the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.
18 He tika ano, e Ihowa, kua kore i nga kingi o Ahiria nga iwi katoa, me to ratou whenua.
Of a truth, Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the countries, and their land,
19 Kua maka ano e ratou o ratou atua ki te ahi; no te mea ehara ratou i te atua; engari he mahi na te ringa tangata, he rakau, he kohatu; koia i huna ai e ratou.
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 Tena ra, whakaorangia matou aianei, e Ihowa, e to matou Atua, i tona ringa, kia mohio ai nga kingitanga katoa o te whenua ko koe a Ihowa, ko koe anake.
Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou are Jehovah, even thou only.
21 Katahi a Ihaia tama a Amoho ka tono tangata ki a Hetekia, hei mea, Ko te kupu tenei a Ihowa, a te Atua o Iharaira, I te mea i inoi koe ki ahau mo Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria;
Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, Whereas thou have prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,
22 Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei i korero ai mona, Kua whakahawea te wahine, te tamahine a Hiona ki a koe: kataina iho koe e ia; ruru ana te mahunga o te tamahine a Hiurharama ki a koe.
this is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised thee and laughed thee to scorn. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.
23 Ko wai tau i whakorekore na, i kohukohu na? ki a wai tou reo i whakarahia na, tou kanohi i kake na ki runga? ki te Mea Tapu o Iharaira.
Whom have thou defied and blasphemed? And against whom have thou exalted thy voice and lifted up thine eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.
24 Meatia ana e koe au karere hei whakorekore mo te Ariki; kua mea na koe, Kua kake ahau, me aku tini hariata, ki runga ki nga wahi tiketike o nga maunga, ki roto rawa o Repanona; ka tuaina ano e ahau nga hita roroa o reira, me o reira kauri papai: ka tae ano ahau ki te wahi tiketike o tona wahi whakamutunga mai, ki te ngahere o tona mara whai hua.
By thy servants thou have defied the Lord, 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. And I will cut down the tall cedars of it, and the choice fir trees of it, and I will enter into its farthest height, the forest of its fruitful field.
25 Keria ana e ahau, inu wai ana ahau, maroke ake i te kapu o toku waewae nga awa katoa o Ihipa.
I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I will dry up all the rivers of Egypt.
26 Kahore ranei koe i rongo i mua noa atu, naku tena i mea? i nga ra onamata naku tena i hanga? Katahi nei ka whakaputaina e ahau, a ka waiho na koe hei mea i nga pa taiepa hei puranga rukerukenga.
Have thou not heard how I have done it long ago, and formed it of ancient times? Now I have brought it to pass, that it should be thine to lay waste fortified cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Koia i iti ai te kaha o o reira tangata; wehi ana ratou, porahurahu kau ana; rite tonu ki te tarutaru o te parae, ki te otaota matomato, ki te taru i runga i nga tuanui, ki te witi i ngingio i te mea kiano i tupu noa.
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 a field of grain before it is grown up.
28 Otira e matau ana ahau ki tou nohoanga iho, ki tou haerenga atu, ki tou haerenga mai, me tou nananga ki ahau.
But I know thy sitting down, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy raging against me.
29 Na, mo tau nananga ki ahau, mo te mea kua tae ake nei tau whakamanamana ki oku taringa, mo reira ka kuhua e ahau taku matau ki tou ihu, taku paraire ki ou ngutu; a ka whakahokia koe na te ara i haere mai na koe.
Because of thy raging against me, and because thine arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou came.
30 A ko te tohu tenei ki a koe, I tenei tau ka kai koutou i nga mea tupu noa ake, a i te rua o nga tau ko nga tupu noa ake o te tau; na hei te toru o nga tau koutou whakato ai, kokoti ai, whakato ai i nga mara waina, kai ai i nga hua o aua mara.
And this shall be the sign to thee. Ye shall eat this year that which grows of itself, and in the second year that which springs of the same, and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of it.
31 Na, tera e hou ano whakararo nga pakiaka o nga oranga i mawhiti o te whare o Hura, ka hua ano nga hua whakarunga.
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.
32 E puta ake hoki he toenga i Hiruharama, he oranga i Maunga Hiona. E taea tenei e te ngakau nui o Ihowa o nga mano.
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and out of mount Zion those who shall escape. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this.
33 Na ko ta Ihowa kupu tenei mo te kingi o Ahiria, E kore ia e haere mai ki tenei pa, e kore ano e perea he pere e ia ki konei, e kore ano e maua e ia he whakangungu rakau ki mua i tenei pa, e opehia ranei he puke hei whawhaitanga ki konei.
Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there. Neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.
34 Ko te ara i haere mai ai ia, ka hoki ia ma reira; e kore ano ia e tae ki tenei pa, e ai ta Ihowa.
By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and he shall not come to this city, says Jehovah.
35 Ka tiakina hoki e ahau tenei pa, ka whakaorangia; he whakaaro ki ahau, ki taku pononga ano, ki a Rawiri.
For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.
36 Na ka puta atu te anahera a Ihowa, a patua iho e ia i te puni o nga Ahiriana kotahi rau e waru tekau ma rima mano: a te marangatanga ake i te ata, nana, o ratou tinana! he tupapaku katoa ratou.
And the agent of Jehovah went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand. And when men arose early in the morning, behold, these were all dead bodies.
37 Na turia atu ana e Henakeripi kingi o Ahiria, haere ana, hoki ana, noho rawa atu kei Ninewe.
So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
38 A i a ia e koropiko ana i te whare o tona atua, o Nitiroko, patua iho ia e ana tama, e Ataramereke raua ko Heretere, ki te hoari; mawhiti tonu atu raua ki te whenua o Ararata, a ko tana tama ko Etara Harono, te kingi i muri i a ia.
And it came to pass, as he was worshiping 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 Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son reigned in his stead.
